In Bethpage Black, there was a partisan atmosphere when US President Donald Trump arrived to watch the Ryder Cup fourballs on day one.

At around 11:00 EDT (16:00 BST), Air Force One flew over the course just outside of New York and made its landing at a nearby airport.

Trump, a pro-golfer and fan, showed up on the course 45 minutes later and waved to the crowds. Some of the crowds chanted his name along with “U-S-A,” while others booed.

After the foursomes, a fan claimed that Trump should have brought his clubs with him after Europe was 3-1 up on the USA.

Trump remarked to reporters as he left the Air Force One, “I think we’ll be alright.” “All great golfers,”

His granddaughter Kai, who is a skilled amateur golfer who will play at the University of Miami in 2026, accompanied him.

Trump’s visit to the US Secret Service, CIA, and FBI were reportedly involved in a cross-agency operation, and security had significantly increased.

Due to extra security measures in place for a president’s visit, the US Open men’s tennis final was delayed by 30 minutes earlier this month.

Trump sat in front of what appeared to be a special kind of protective plastic glass, which had been assembled near the first tee, near a grandstand.

The 79-year-old saluted as military aircraft flew over the Star-Spangled Banner before being introduced to the audience via the public address system.

After greeting American captain Keegan Bradley, Trump animatedly chatted with USA teammate Bryson DeChambeau at the first tee box before leaving the security area.

Trump and DeChambeau have previously played golf together, with the 32-year-old two-time major winner backing the Republican’s presidential campaign.

DeChambeau expressed his hope that Trump’s presence would “inspire” the United States to defeat Europe in the 45th Ryder Cup in the lead-up to the competition.

What’s next for relations between Turkiye and the US?

Donald Trump makes hints about lifting the sanctions against Ankara purchasing F-35 jets during a meeting with Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, has returned to the White House for a crucial meeting with Donald Trump in an effort to repair strained relations for the first time in six years.

The two leaders had a lot to talk about, from upcoming agreements involving Ankara purchasing fighter jets to deep rifts between Russia and Gaza.

Trump stated his desire to have Turkiye’s sanctions lifted soon, but he also stated that some steps must be taken first. Both leaders were brief on details, despite their disagreements.

Can this result in a closer relationship between Washington and Ankara, then?

Richard Hammond reveals how wife brought him out of coma as he says divorce is like crash

Richard Hammond, the husband of his almost three decades, has spoken out about how his ex-wife Mindy helped him recover from a car crash.

Richard Hammond hinted that his wife Amanda ‘Mindy’ Hammond played a crucial role in his recovery from a coma. The 55-year old-presenter revealed that he and columnist Mindy, 59, decided to part ways after nearly three decades of marriage earlier this year.

They announced that their marriage was “going to end,” according to a joint statement from him. Their relationship had gained traction over the years, particularly after his car crashed while Top Gear was being filmed in 2006.

Richard suffered a brain injury and was in a coma in intensive care for several weeks. Now, he has addressed their split for the first time as he compared the divorce to his crash.

We can decide, he said, “Whatever happens to us.” Not right now, perhaps. I didn’t make the decision to make this a good thing because the car was going over at 320 mph, but there came a point where I thought, “Hey, my reaction is going to be positive.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail, he went on: “That’s what you have to do. Well, it’s what I do.” Richard previously suggested that Mindy’s “screaming” at his bedside may have helped rouse him from the coma.

In a YouTube video released in 2022, he shared what he had dreamed about while he was in a coma. He then reflected on this experience. The TV star claimed that “a lot of morphine” was “really vivid” as it “came through my system” toward the end of his coma.

He described it as a “walk in the Lake District.” The former Grand Tour host said, “I was enjoying myself and enjoying myself as a child, and gradually I developed a sense of… y’know when you stay out just that bit too late. You’re still having some trouble, but you’re still not going to be very bad.

That feeling “grew and grew,” he said. Richard continued by stating that he had walked up a hill in the countryside and toward a tree while recording the footage there.

He claimed that as he approached the tree, he sensed that he was actually experiencing “trouble.” Before continuing, Richard continued, “Until eventually in my dream I turned back – I didn’t walk round this tree and carry on, and I woke [from the coma]”.

He continued by revealing that he had told Mindy about the “dream” after he was in a coma, and that she had then shared “her side of the story.” She had been placed in intensive care at the same time as I was having that dream, Richard said.

Mindy was informed, “It’s not looking good. We believe we will lose him. Richard explained that Mindy inquired about whether she could “really shout” at him before being told that it was “not really,” before asking if she could do so.

“And she did,” And she apparently yelled, “don’t you dare die,” and screamed at me. In my dream, I turned back from this tree. And I woke up right away.

Richard announced their separation in a joint statement that read: “A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family and this year we will still be a family but just structured a bit differently.

Although our marriage is about to end, our two daughters and our amazing 28 years of marriage are in order. We are proud of the family we created and we will always be a part of one another’s lives. We won’t be commenting further, but we sincerely hope that our privacy and that of our children will be respected at this time. Richard, Mindy, and Love.

Amorim Admits Uncertainty Ahead Of Brentford Clash

Ruben Amorim admits to not knowing what to expect from his troubled Manchester United, but believes that treating every game as if it were the “last one” is the best strategy.

On Saturday, United travel to Brentford in search of its first consecutive Premier League victories despite the troubled 10-month reign of the Portuguese manager.

After winning 2-1 at home against Chelsea last week, which eased the pressure on Amorim after a disappointing season, the Red Devils are 11th in the table.

The United boss stated in his pre-game press conference on Friday that it was crucial to maintain momentum.

He said, “It’s really important for us to have that sense of urgency that we need to win, no matter what.”

You believe the game will be extremely difficult every time we begin to prepare for it and when you watch the following opponent.

I feel that way. We can’t control the outcome of the game, in my opinion. The most crucial step is to begin the match the way we did against Chelsea, Burnley, and Arsenal.

Despite a strong performance, United defeated Burnley 3-2 in their season opener, losing 1-0 to Arsenal.

Amorim claimed that inconsistent behavior had hindered United for “so many months.”

He said, “It’s typical for the fans, they don’t know what will happen the next game.” I have an idea, but I’m the team manager, and I’m not sure how it will turn out, to be completely honest.

Every game is the last one, he said, adding, “The best way to deal with that is… The next game for Manchester United will be the most significant of their career.

Let’s start presenting ourselves with the urgency we need on the pitch because I understand how the fans feel.

Bryan Mbeumo impressed since joining United from Brentford in July, according to Amorim.

“It’s really important for everything he’s been doing, the light that he brings into the dressing room,” he said. You can tell that he’s there for us whenever he speaks, he said, but you can’t tell if he’s talking more.

He is a different threat than he was last season, presses a lot, and runs a lot. Bryan is more than I’m happy with.

Amad Diallo, who has started five of United’s six games this season, will miss the game due to a grieving family.

Troops Arrest Five Suspected Criminals With Concealed AK-47s

Five alleged bandits have been taken into custody in Kwara State by Nigerian Army troops.

Six AK-47s were discovered with the suspects at a checkpoint along Share town in the state’s Ifelodun Local Government Area on Thursday.

The state governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, the chief press secretary (CPS), made this known on Friday.

He claimed that the suspected bandits’ arrest came a day after six people who appeared to be the kidnappers’ couriers were detained in Babanla town along with a sizable shipment of bread and gasoline in the Ifelodun LGA.

Along the Share axis, five suspected kidnappers were detained today. In a Golf saloon car this afternoon, they concealed six AK-47s under the hood.

The Nigerian Army team was on patrol and intercepted them. According to Ajakaye, the five suspects are being questioned.

Six individuals who are suspected of being the kidnappers’ couriers were detained in Babanla, also in the Ifelodun LGA, the day after their arrests, along with a sizable shipment of bread and gasoline, in the area.

The suspects were charged with being the axis’s kidnapping gang’s couriers.

They were detained on Wednesday while they were hiding during a surveillance operation by government-backed local vigilantes in Babanla.

According to the CPS, “They have been transferred to the police headquarters in Ilorin for further investigation.”

He added that earlier on Tuesday, he reported that many criminals had been reported killed as a result of a coordinated attack by government vigilante forces in Omu Aran-Eruku.

Six motorcycles, numerous assault rifles, and numerous magazines were found hidden in their homes.

FIFA Suspends Seven Malaysian Players Over Forged Documents

Seven Malaysia national team players were suspended for a year by FIFA on Friday, and the country’s football association was fined 350 000 Swiss francs ($440 000) for forged documents used in an Asia Cup qualifier.

The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) doctored documentation to allow the players to play in a 4-0 victory over Vietnam in June, according to a statement from the disciplinary committee of world football.

FIFA responded to a complaint regarding the eligibility of a number of players who were present in the game after receiving it.

In consequence, Hector Alejandro Hevel Serrano, Facundo Tomas Garces, Rodrigo Julian Holgado, Imanol Javier Machuca, Joao Vitor Brandao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal Iraurgui, and Facundo Tomas Garces received 2, 000 Swiss Francs fines.

Additionally, they were for a 12-month ban from all football-related activities.

The FAM stated that it would appeal the decision in response to the suspension.

Kane also records a double goal against Bayern to reach 100 goals in record time.

The organization stated that it would “use all available legal channels and procedures to make sure the players’ interests and the Malaysian national team’s are always protected.”

In a statement released in Kuala Lumpur, the association said, “FAM would like to emphasize that the players involved, as well as FAM itself, have conducted this process in good faith and with complete transparency.”

The FAM argued that all documentation and procedures were run according to FIFA guidelines and were transparent.

FIFA has actually given the players official confirmation that they are eligible to play for Malaysia, according to the FAM.
