Italy’s Francesco Molinari has been named as Europe’s fourth vice-captain for September’s Ryder Cup in New York.
The 42-year-old fulfilled the same role at the 2023 event in Rome, won by Europe, and will join his brother Edoardo, Thomas Bjorn and Jose Maria Olazabal in captain Luke Donald’s backroom team when they take on the United States at Bethpage Black from 26-28 September.
Molinari made his Ryder Cup debut alongside his brother in 2010 at Celtic Manor and was part of the last European team to retain the Ryder Cup in the US when he secured a half-point against Tiger Woods at Medinah in 2012 to help ensure a 14½-13½ win.
In 2018, he created history as the first European player to win all five of his matches in a Ryder Cup, as Bjorn’s team claimed a 17½-10½ victory at Le Golf National in Paris.
“I’m very happy to be part of the team again,” said Molinari. “I really enjoyed being part of Luke’s backroom team in Rome and trying to help the players.
“Luke is a very smart, switched on individual. It’s been great to see at first-hand how much he is putting into being the captain. He did the same two years ago and he’s doing it now. He leads by example so that passion trickles down to the players.
“It is going to be a big challenge at Bethpage. Everyone will give their best and I am very happy to be able to give my contribution to the team.”
Donald added: “Francesco knows how to win Ryder Cups, having been on three winning teams, and I think that’s really important for us. We obviously have a tough task ahead of us trying to win away in New York.
“I think he brings a very calm head. He is someone who listens a lot and has good ideas. He speaks up when he feels like he needs to.
Peace agreement between the DRC and Rwanda is staggering in its ambition.
Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera has agreed personal terms with Arsenal, with a move to the Premier League club getting closer.
BBC Sport previously reported that Arsenal were in talks to sign the 21-year-old but now another element to the deal has been completed.
The Gunners have been looking to add a young defender to their squad to compete with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.
The Spain Under-21 international has made 90 appearances for Valencia and was a regular last season, playing the full match in 37 of the club’s 38 La Liga games.
Arsenal have been busy during this transfer window and have signed Martin Zubimendi from Real Socidead, Christian Norgaard from Brentford and Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea.
Europe’s stock markets have dropped sharply as investors weigh United States President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threats against the European Union and Mexico.
Major European indices suffered heavy losses on Monday as EU ministers were set to discuss their response to Trump’s plans to impose a 30 percent tariff on the bloc’s goods from August 1.
Germany’s benchmark DAX had fallen nearly 0.9 percent as of 08:30 GMT, while France’s CAC 40, Italy’s FTSE MIB and Spain’s IBEX 35 were down 0.7 to 0.8 percent.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index dipped about 0.5 percent.
The United Kingdom’s FTSE 100 bucked the sell-off, rising about 0.2 percent.
In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell about 0.3 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng edged up by about the same amount.
US futures, which are traded outside of regular market hours, fell early on Monday, with those tied to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indices both dropping more than 0.5 percent.
Markets are on edge ahead of Trump’s August 1 deadline for US trading partners to reach trade deals or face steep tariffs.
Despite months of negotiations, the Trump administration has so far announced agreements with only the UK, China and Vietnam.
EU officials have threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs on US goods worth about 100 billion euros ($117bn) if Brussels and Washington are unable to reach a deal.
The EU is the US’s largest trading partner, with their two-way trade in goods and services amounting to 1.7 trillion euros ($2 trillion) in 2024, according to the EU statistics agency Eurostat.
On Sunday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the bloc would delay retaliatory tariffs on the US to August to give officials more time to reach an agreement with the Trump administration.
Actor and comedian Eric Idle has expressed gratitude for ‘every single day’ after overcoming pancreatic cancer. The Monty Python star, 82, received an early diagnosis in 2019 and was successfully treated for the illness.
Now, in a heartfelt ‘Letter To My Younger Self’ for the Big Issue, he’s once again reflected on the ordeal. “I miss a lot of people. Great people like Mike Nichols [director of The Graduate],” he wrote.
“I will find myself thinking of a funny line and thinking, you must tell Mike that. Or Jonathan Miller [a British public thinker and former comedian]. So many of my heroes have gone, like Robin Williams. I still kind of occasionally speak to Billy Connolly, but I really miss him.
“You’ve got to find other people, you know, because there are still other funny people you can have dinner with or play guitar with. I got lucky, because I had to, I survived pancreatic cancer. So I feel that since 2019 I’ve had a reprieve. So I don’t know or care what people say about me, I’m lucky every single day.”
Eric also looked back on some of the challenges in financing Monty Python’s Life Of Brian, a film whose creators received assistance from Beatles icon George Harrison.
He said: “For a while we had no money. (Media impresario) Lew Grade read it and just went nuts. He said, ‘We can’t possibly make this’. I went to America to find money.

“I had been talking to George Harrison, who was a huge fan, and he said, ‘I’ll phone you in the morning, don’t worry’. And I thought, well, nobody’s got four and a half million dollars.
“But finally, when everybody turned us down, there was a call from him saying, ‘I’ve got you the money’. He had mortgaged his house and his business and raised the cash and put it all on a Python film. The most extraordinary thing to do.”
Eric, alongside John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, and Sir Michael Palin, were the comedic geniuses behind the revolutionary sketch show Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
The series was a massive success, with 45 episodes produced from 1969 to 1974. It also gave rise to five films, including the 1975 classic ‘The Holy Grail’, which later inspired the hit musical ‘Spamalot’, penned by Eric himself.
