149 referees were suspended by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) on Friday after being accused of betting on matches.
The TFF stated in a statement that three other referees’ investigations are ongoing, with the TFF stating that their disciplinary committee had issued suspensions ranging from eight to twelve months.

The federation’s investigation into 571 Turkish professional league referees revealed on Monday that 152 of them had active betting accounts and 371 of them had sports betting accounts.
According to TFF President Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu, “refereeing is a profession of honor.”
Anyone who violates that honor will never play football again, Haciosmanoglu added.
The TFF announced on Monday that 22 of the officials (seven match officials and 15 assistants) are employed by the highest league.
Ten of the TFF’s referees placed more than 10,000 bets, with one of them alone placing 18,227.
The head of Turkish football said on Friday that 42 referees had staked in more than 1, 000 football games.
He did not specify whether any of them were suspected of betting on matches they had officiated, though.
The Istanbul public prosecutor’s office has also begun an investigation.
Democrats are overwhelmingly in the mayoral election in New York City, a sign of the city’s deeply liberal bent. However, a Republican could change the outcome of the election.
Prior to the November 4 election, candidate Curtis Sliwa has refrained from appealing to some top conservatives, which should increase the chances for former governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent after being defeated in the Democratic primary in June.

Some political observers believe that Zohran Mamdani’s departure will give Cuomo the best chance to defeat him in the Democratic Socialist party’s frontrunner race.
[Joseph Stepansky/Al Jazeera] Curtis Sliwa supporters gather in midtown Manhattan to watch the first mayoral debate on October 17.
Sliwa has also struck both of his rivals.
During the final mayoral debate on October 22, he said, “Zohran, your resume could fit on a cocktail napkin, and Andrew, your failures could fill a public school library in New York City.”
Sliwa falsely claimed during the final debate that the leading candidate supports “global jihad,” using the same Islamophobic tropes that Mamdani’s critics have perpetuated.
Local performer or subway hero?
Curtis Sliwa, then, who is he? Sliwa has been plagued by this question ever since he became well-known as the leader of the Guardian Angels, a volunteer crime-fighting organization known for its patrols of the New York City subway system.
Supporters have endorsed the group’s do-it-yourself ethos, which Sliwa started in 1979 as a 24-year-old night manager at a McDonald’s in the Bronx. He is still regarded as the epitome of New Yorkers taking action when the city’s administration fails, insisted by many.
People “think about public safety and subway safety when they see that red beret.” They are aware of his contributions to the city, Ramgopal said.
He is a larger-than-life figure who has, to this point, contributed greatly to New York life.
[David Boe/The Associated Press] A Guardian Angels member can be seen on a Brooklyn subway in 2021.
Others have accused the Guardian Angels of fortifying a dangerous style of vigilantism, saying they don’t carry weapons. Additionally, the organization has been criticized for allegedly demonizing immigrants, falsely accusing people of crimes, and racial profiling.
Sliwa has frequently condemned “migrant” crime on the campaign trail.
Sliwa admitted in 1992 that he had fabricated some crimes to gain publicity, but the authenticity of the group’s exploits has been scrutinized.
Sliwa has previously served as a radio host, media personality, and candidate for local politics.
What platforms does he use?
Unsurprisingly, Sliwa’s campaign focuses on public safety, particularly in the transit system. Sliwa argued that the city is “facing a crisis of crime, lawlessness, and failed leadership” despite the drop in crime.
According to his website, he has pledged to “enhance proactive and intrusive policing strategies to target illegal firearm carriers, repeat offenders, and violent criminals before crimes occur,” along with 7, 000 new New York Police Department (NYPD) officers, re-up controversial police units, and re-up controversial ones.
Critics claim that these tactics have historically resulted in more racial profiling, over-policing of minority communities, and civil liberties violations.
He has also pushed for affordability, a problem that has been a hot topic this election cycle, and pledged to reform the city’s current system to better coordinate with programs for affordable housing.
Sliwa, who owns several cats, has also made animal protection a crucial component of his campaign.
What qualities does he possess that his supporters admire?
Sliwa, who is the only right-wing candidate in the race, enjoys strong support from registered Republicans, who make up 11% of New York’s 4 7 million electors.
He continues to woo new supporters despite having gained popularity decades ago.
Shan Singh, a 30-year-old cab driver from Richmond Hill, Queens, told Al Jazeera, “His work with the Guardian Angels has resonated a lot with me.”
In the presidential election of 2024, Singh, who had previously supported Democrats, switched to Republican Party and US President Donald Trump. He thinks that the recent protests in the city are risky.
Republican presidential candidate Curtis Sliwa and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo speak during a debate between Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani and former New York governor Andrew Cuomo.
He added that Sliwa’s polls-related defeat does not make him lose his vote.
Despite the statistics, Curtis “smears to me as the person who seems most real,” he said.
Before the first mayoral debate in midtown Manhattan, Brooklyn resident Russell, 28, made a request that his last name be kept private.
He claimed that both Cuomo and Mamdani were too anti-crime, and that their support for bail reform initiatives, which aim to end low-level criminal justice cases and prevent widespread incarceration, was unfair.
Because there are no repercussions for it, Russell said, “it encourages criminals to keep committing crimes.”
Has he a chance of winning?
Sliwa lacks a genuine path to victory, lacking a miracle. He received 14% of likely voters, according to the most recent Quinnipiac University poll. That outperformed the 43 percent and 33 percent support provided by Mamdani and Cuomo.
Cuomo has worked so hard to get out of the race because of this. A vote for Sliwa is essentially a vote for Mamdani, according to the former governor, who has made numerous phone calls to conservative voters.
If Sliwa were to leave, Cuomo even left the door open for him to take over the presidency.
The appeals have so far been unsuccessful. How many of Sliwa’s steadfast supporters would be willing to cross party lines, also, is a mystery.
The number of people being held by ICE has increased by about 59 percent over the past year, from 37, 395 in September 2024 to 59, 762 last month.
Deportations have increased as well, with 527, 000 removals reported since Trump’s second term.
In a statement released in October, White House spokesman Tricia McLaughlin declared that “the Trump Administration is on pace to break records.”
Trump has threatened to deploy federal troops in California as part of his effort to carry out his deportation drive and crackdown on crime.
In response to protests against his immigration policies, he has already sent 4, 000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to Los Angeles in June.
He announced earlier this month that he planned to send military forces to San Francisco, but he ultimately decided to stop the “surge.”
The Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara is one of the institutions that suspended the traditional procession known as the Calenda Da de los Muertos this year, which is located about six hours south of San Francisco.
The event has previously featured an altar for the dead and Oaxacan cuisine as well as music and dances from the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Guerrero.
India 125 all out (18.4 overs): Abhishek 68 (37), Hazlewood 3-13
Australia 126-6 (13.2 overs): Marsh 46 (26), Chakravarthy 2-23
By four wickets, Australia won.
In the T20 series, Australia defeated India by four wickets to win by one wicket.
Only Abhishek Sharma, who top-scored with a blistering 68 from 37 deliveries, and Harshit Rana, who were bowled out for 125 in the 19th over, managed to score in double figures as India were bowled out for 125.
India fell to 32-4 on the powerplay as a result of Seamer Josh Hazlewood (3-13), who dismissed Shubman Gill, visiting captain Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma.
When Xavier Bartlett (2-39) had Rana caught at long-on, he put on 56 for the sixth wicket to give his side hope.
Abhishek was the ninth wicket to fall after Nathan Ellis trapped him for two and a half, and Jasprit Bumrah was thrown out of the opener as India’s innings came to an early end.
Mitchell Marsh, the captain of Australia, put on a 51-run opening partnership with Travis Head (28), leading the charge from the top of the order.
The home team were well on their way to hitting their target when Abhishek intercepted him off Kuldeep Yadav, and despite being cheaply dismissed, they still had 40 balls to play to finish the match.

Avon has launched a new spicy ginger perfume for Christmas(Image: Getty Images)
The festive season is all about those warm, cosy and inviting scents, and there’s no reason the same shouldn’t apply to your perfume. A rich and spicy fragrance is a must for the Christmas season, and we might have just found the perfect one to add to your perfume collection.
Ginger Blaze, one of Avon’s newest scents, joins Bamboozie Cocktail, Choco Tuberose, and Peppery Peaches in the company’s Perfect Nonsense fragrance line. If you’ve been wanting to buy Jo Malone’s London Ginger Biscuit Cologne but aren’t quite ready to spend the money, it’s also a great alternative.
In a skin-friendly formula, Emily Atack discovers the perfect new autumn blush shade.

The Avon Ginger Blaze costs only £13 for 50ml compared to Jo Malone’s cologne, which costs just £128 for a 100ml bottle. If you bought two bottles, which would be a whopping £102 less than Jo Malone, the bottle would only cost you £26.
The Avon scent was created by combining ingredients that shouldn’t necessarily work together, which eventually gives off a distinctive, spicy scent without smelling like a candle. For an unexpectedly excellent pairing, it combines the sharp warmth of ginger with earthy, calming hay notes.
Avon also provides a bundle that bundles the scents together, which help layer the scent up and make it last longer. Both products come in the same scent. It’s simple to purchase the Ginger Blaze online or through Avon representatives.
Prada’s Infusion de Gingembre Eau de Parfum, which costs £120 less than its current £150 price at Boots, combines ginger and musks for a deep, earthy scent. Other great spicy scents for the holidays include this. Another splurge is Goldfield &’s Banks Ingenious Ginger Eau de Parfum, which has notes of ginger, vanilla, and jasmine and retails for £140 on LookFantastic.
For a more affordable pick, Marks & Spencer’s Warmth Eau de Parfum is just £12 for 50ml, with notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood and sandalwood. One reviewer said: “Lovely fragrance, very similar to a far more expensive La Labo one. This doesn’t last quite as long but at this price point you can spray with gay abandon.”
Ginger Blaze, on the other hand, has yet to garner any positive reviews because it is a relatively new launch. However, other Avon fragrances have received praise for their long-lasting qualities, with one customer describing the Perfect Nonsense Choco Tuberose Eau de Parfum as “I love the scent of this perfume. It is very long lasting.
Another person described this perfume as gorgeous. It is a big selling point because it lasts longer than many other designer perfumes on me. My new go-to perfume is a beautiful scent, too! I’ll be re-ordering and also trying the other two.

However, one reviewer claimed that because the perfume doesn’t smell expensive, it is appropriate for the price. It has a more conventional, affordable scent.
With his wife Sulina and two dogs, BBC Gardeners’ World expert Adam Frost admits to spoiling their pets a little too much. The couple admit to owning a cat and two dogs.

The plant-loving spirit of Adam Frost is well known. The Gardeners’ World presenter claimed that while he was “sat in front of a psychiatrist with depression and burnout,” he referred to some of his plants as “old friends” in an interview with Gardens Illustrated about his mental well-being.
However, it has now come to light that the Essex-born garden designer is equally devoted to animals. At his Stamford, Lincolnshire home, Adam and his wife Sulina share their lives with a cat called Ash and two dogs, Isla and Buster.
Adam acknowledges that their pets tend to be groomed. He admitted to The Times that “it gets worse as we get older.”
“With the fuss she makes of them, I don’t think Mrs. Frost would yell at me because she claims she’s probably using them to make a slight child’s substitute.”
The Frost family’s most recent addition is miniature Jack Russell Buster, with Adam revealing: “To be fair, Buster partly arrived because my 18-year-old son said, “Dear, I think you need to get Mum something to care for,” although he did say “Because she’s doing my head in,” according to Gloucestershire Live.
When Adam films Gardeners’ World segments from his three-acre rural garden, the Frosts frequently outdo the animals. He recalls a time when “Buster decided to relieve himself behind me” during a video production.
He continued, “I didn’t know it had happened,” suggesting that the program’s editing team probably considered whether to add the unanticipated moment to the final broadcast. Ash, Adam’s feline companion, regularly uses box after box of seedlings as makeshift cat beds in the cozy greenhouse.
Adam revealed that he and Sulina are planning a well-deserved break as their most recent tour is wrapping up. He also mentioned that Mrs. Frost’s holiday fund is benefitted by any profits from his most recent book, For the Love of Plants, so she’s also a very happy lady.
According to Adam, Sulina is “a little scary,” referring to the proverb that “behind every successful man is a strong woman,” and he claimed there is a slight twist in her story.
He remarked, “Every successful man has a strong woman behind her. She is a little scary but more than strong. She is described as a lioness by the children. You end up with Mrs. Frost’s wrath if you offend me or the children. We’re not interested in Mrs. Frost crossing.

Even in the garden, where one might assume Adam would have the final say, Sulina has voiced her own views. While Adam enjoys “gardening for wildlife,” Mrs Frost favours a neater plot.
