President Donald Trump has been a part of many Team USA golf events recently, making appearances at the 2025 Ryder Cup in New York and this September's Presidents Cup in Illinois. On Wednesday, you could say Team USA returned the favor.

The President held a rally on the campus of Clemson University in South Carolina, and among the guest speakers was Jacob Bridgeman, the two-time PGA Tour winner who made the Presidents Cup clinching putt for the Americans in September.

Bridgeman, a South Carolina native who played collegiately at Clemson, was sure to join in on one of the Tigers' fight songs before sharing supportive remarks for President Trump.

"I just thank President Donald Trump for having me here. It has been great to get to know him and to have him, as he mentioned, at the Presidents Cup, watching us have a pretty historic comeback on Sunday.

"And thank you to my captain, Brandt Snedeker, he had some good remarks for us after the round at the tournament for our President here, so thank you to him. Just glad to be here with you guys and proud to represent one of the best states in the country. I travel a lot, I travel 25 to 30 weeks a year, and every time I come home it feels like at home and there is no place I would rather be.

"Thank you for everyone who lives in this great state, and thank you for making it what it is, and thank you to the President for having me."

Bridgeman, making his Presidents Cup debut, went 1-2-0 in the biennial event, with his win coming during Sunday's singles matches against Min Woo Lee. The Americans faced a three-point deficit heading into the final day, but ultimately came away with a 17-13 victory.

As the former Clemson standout alluded to, Team USA captain Brandt Snedeker had some glowing remarks for President Trump after the team managed to pull off the comeback.

"One last shoutout: Donald Trump. President Trump. He told me, 'I [am] going to bring energy today for you. You guys need it,'" Snedeker said on Sunday evening. "I told him if we did this, he gets all the credit. So, thank you, President Trump."

President Trump, an honorary chairman for the event, briefly addressed the crowd from the first tee before play began.

"You know, the fake news media will say I get a very bad reception," Trump said as the crowd laughed. "But we get a good reception.

"[PGA Tour CEO] Brian [Rolapp] said, 'Could you make a short speech?' I said, 'No, I don't have the courage to make a speech. These people wanna see golf. They don't wanna hear speeches.' I'll only say this: Our country is doing great, better than ever before."

Since the event's inception in 1994, the Americans have fallen to the International team just once in the Presidents Cup.

Miatta Fahnbulleh says reference to ‘awkward’ interview was meant to be lighthearted and self-deprecating

The energy secretary has been forced to clarify that she backs Shabana Mahmood’s migration policy, after earlier joking that she had not been able to “lie” about supporting a key element of the changes.

Miatta Fahnbulleh made the original remarks to a journalists’ event in Westminster, referring to an “awkward” Sky News interview in which she repeatedly refused to say she was in favour of plans to make foreign workers wait 15 years to get permanent residency.

Aside from Team Europe dominating the Americans over the course of the first two days of the 2025 Ryder Cup, one of the wilder moments from the biennial event involved comedian Heather McMahan and chants of "f- - - you Rory" ringing out across the first tee at Bethpage Black.

Now, a year removed from helping lead the vulgar chants, McMahan is claiming that if she were a man, the consequences that followed never would have happened.

Ahead of Saturday's foursomes matches, McMahan, who was hired as an MC for the event, attempted to fire up the crowd on Long Island. While it's an admittedly awkward job for anyone to start chanting things into a microphone at sunrise in front of tens of thousands of rowdy golf fans screaming their own obscenities, McMahan made a mistake that immediately cost her.

As fans in the stands started a ‘f you Rory’ chant for Team Europe leader Rory McIlroy, McMahan joined in and started shouting the chant into her microphone. The following day, the PGA of America issued a statement explaining that McMahan had extended an apology to McIlroy and had stepped down from her role. McMahan recently told Oona McCaughan of Barstool Sports that she was "immediately fired" after joining in on the chants.

During a recent sit-down with The Hollywood Reporter, McMahan reflected on nearly being "cancelled" after the incident while pinning the blame on golf not knowing its identity, whatever that means.

"The Ryder Cup has always been known to be heavily competitive between Europe and America," McMahan told the outlet. "But it's always been in good fun? I think [having it in Long Island], the already the weird animosity that America was having to outsiders, I don't think they were set up for success that year. And, I'll fall on the sword. I did not help the cause. It's just really wild.

"What does golf want to be? Is it all buttoned up like The Masters? Is it trying to be Happy Gilmore? I do think golf needed to like shake off the cobwebs, quit being as stuffy, but it doesn't know where it wants to go."

After explaining that she's only planning on attending LPGA events from now on, McMahan claimed that her being a woman played a role in the backlash and firing.

"I went to the Masters and got to see him win again. I'm still a huge fan," McMahan said, referring to McIlroy winning the green jacket in April. "It's not the players. They're doing their thing. It's just this kind of weird environment with some of the male fans these days. And again, I apologized, but I do think, had a male comedian been in my shoes, we would have never had this conversation. They wouldn't have given a s - - t. Dudes being dudes. Set it on fire, man."

It's extremely hard to find a modicum of truth in what McMahan is implying.

If anyone who is hired to MC one of the largest events in golf grabs a microphone and joins in on ‘f you’ chants directed at a player in the event you're being paid to be a part of, that person is undoubtedly being fired, regardless of gender.

When it comes to the idea that McMahan should have been cancelled for the chant, that's equally as absurd.

The 2025 Ryder Cup was three full days of American fans shouting obscenities at every European player, but fans aren't held to the same standard as a paid employee of the event, as McMahan was presumed to be.

Após uma ruptura amarga com Donald Trump ter deixado muitos na Ucrânia temendo que o presidente dos EUA tivesse se alinhado novamente à Rússia, o presidente Volodymyr Zelensky abordou a disputa de frente: não há nada de pessoal entre mim e Trump, disse ele à CNN, mas se aproximar de Vladimir Putin só iria “torná-lo mais forte”.

Os laços entre os EUA e a Ucrânia se deterioraram gravemente nas últimas semanas.

Zelensky disse que Trump estava “do lado errado da história” após ele anunciar um acordo para comprar combustível russo, desfazendo os esforços internacionais para isolar a Rússia. Trump então suspendeu algumas sanções contra a Rússia, gerando críticas até mesmo de seu próprio partido. As forças da Ucrânia viram seu acesso ao serviço Starlink, administrado por Elon Musk, ser restringido.

Falando à CNN a partir de Kyiv na quinta-feira, Zelensky adotou um tom conciliatório, dizendo que as tensões “não eram sobre personalidades” — mas advertiu que Putin não tinha intenção de parar a guerra.

“Minha atitude em relação a Putin é muito clara. Acho que se levantarmos as sanções, vamos torná-lo mais forte. Não é algo pessoal entre mim e o presidente Trump, e é claro que sou contra qualquer levantamento de sanções.”

Zelensky falou à CNN em meio a uma renovada pressão diplomática dos enviados de Trump para encontrar uma resolução para o conflito de quatro anos e meio.

Na quarta-feira, o enviado especial dos EUA Steve Witkoff passou três horas conversando com o presidente russo Vladimir Putin em São Petersburgo, descrevendo-o de forma controversa como um “humanitário” por sua decisão de libertar o prisioneiro americano Stephen Hubbard, de 74 anos. Witkoff havia se reunido com Zelensky na Noruega um dia antes.

Trump insistiu na quarta-feira que apertar as sanções contra a Rússia teria significado que Hubbard permaneceria preso. “Você poderia se esquecer dele, nunca o veria de novo, ele voltaria para a prisão por 25 anos”, disse ele em resposta a uma pergunta da jornalista da CNN Kaitlin Collins.

Ele acrescentou que sanções mais rígidas colocariam em risco as chances de um acordo sobre a Ucrânia: “Quando você está perto de um acordo e tem negociações delicadas, você não impõe sanções.”

Putin “joga” com vidas

Zelensky disse que sua reunião na capital norueguesa Oslo foi produtiva, mas que não estava convencido do compromisso de Putin com a paz. Após a visita de Witkoff, Putin concordou com conversações em novembro, sem fornecer muitos detalhes concretos.

“Putin está jogando, sabe, ele é um jogador”, disse Zelensky.

“É uma pena porque ele joga com a vida de outras pessoas, e claro que ele não quer (parar a guerra). Então o que queremos de nossos parceiros (é) não dar a ele a possibilidade de ficar mais forte e nos destruir.”

Trump disse na quarta-feira que seu governo está “mais próximo do que nunca” de resolver a guerra na Ucrânia — apenas para a Rússia lançar centenas de drones e mísseis balísticos contra seu vizinho durante a noite.

Até agora, Putin também manteve suas exigências maximalistas em relação à Ucrânia — incluindo território. O secretário de Estado dos EUA, Marco Rubio, disse a repórteres na quarta-feira que “a disputa agora está realmente concentrada no que acontece com o restante do Donbas”, a região leste da Ucrânia que está majoritariamente sob controle russo. Ele disse que “surgiram algumas ideias criativas sobre como resolver essa diferença.”

Congelar as linhas de frente?

Em entrevista à CNN, Zelensky aludiu à possibilidade de congelar as atuais linhas de frente para “cessar-fogo, parar com as mortes, sentar e conversar.” No entanto, ele deixou claro que a ideia de a Ucrânia ceder seu território à Rússia é inaceitável.

“Nossa terra é muito importante porque é sobre pessoas. Não é sobre quilômetros”, disse ele. “Muitas pessoas morreram defendendo esta terra, defendendo nossa independência, nosso país.”

“Ninguém vai reconhecer esses territórios, que estão temporariamente ocupados, como territórios russos, e acho que a Rússia entende isso. É uma pena se alguém não entende, mas isso é problema deles”, acrescentou o presidente ucraniano.

Houve alguns sinais de distensão após Kiev acusar os EUA de limitar o compartilhamento de inteligência sobre mísseis russos em aproximação, de retardar os serviços vitais do Starlink e de atrasar o fornecimento de armas.

Zelensky disse no início desta semana que o compartilhamento de inteligência foi restabelecido, mas afirmou à CNN que o Starshield, o serviço militar da SpaceX, ainda não foi totalmente restaurado.

Mas a escassez crítica de mísseis interceptores da Ucrânia significa que, mesmo que suas forças militares recebam agora um alerta sobre um míssil balístico russo se aproximando, não há nada para abatê-lo.

Zelensky também disse à CNN na quinta-feira que, embora os aliados europeus da Ucrânia tenham fornecido alguns mísseis de defesa aérea ao país, “não é suficiente para nos defendermos”.

A Ucrânia, disse Zelensky, precisa agora principalmente de duas coisas de seus aliados: “Não levantar as sanções contra Putin… (e) nos dar mísseis melhores”.

Corea del Norte tendrá listos en unos días los altavoces para reanudar sus emisiones de propaganda hacia Corea del Sur, suspendidas desde hace 16 meses. Así lo ha anunciado este jueves Kim Yo-jong, la hermana del líder supremo norcoreano, Kim Jong-un. La poderosa dirigente también ha amenazado con represalias militares si futuros disparos de advertencia surcoreanos causan daños en su territorio o ponen en peligro a sus soldados. Seúl defiende que esas acciones son “legítimas y defensivas” y buscan impedir incursiones norcoreanas en su lado de la frontera. La tensión entre los dos vecinos ha aumentado desde finales de septiembre, después de que el estallido de unas minas hiriese a tres soldados surcoreanos, dos de ellos de gravedad.

The Office for National Statistics has also published a report on the gender pay gap. It says:

The gender pay gap for full-time employees has continued to decline in the UK. It was 6.8% in April 2026, down from 7.2% in April 2025. This compares with 9.4% a decade ago and 16.4% 25 years ago.

Secondly, I asked Healey whether he sees the banks as making excessive profits, which would be the coherent justification for him to increase the surcharge on bank profits – as he is expected to do in the Budget next week.

He said: “You know the banks are the engine of investment in this country. The banks are doing well at the moment and that is good to see.

Some in UK’s security services questioned why Welsh Labour firebrand was of interest

Aneurin “Nye” Bevan, the Welsh Labour firebrand who spearheaded the creation of the NHS, was monitored by security services for more than two decades, though his personal file was “remarkably tame”, according to official files released to the public.

Bevan came to MI5’s attention in the 1930s over concerns about his links with known communists, papers released to the National Archives show. Monitoring continued even after he became a minister in the postwar Labour government that created the NHS.
