Bills defensive tackles Ed Oliver and Tim Settle missed their third consecutive practice, leaving Buffalo potentially thin in the middle against running back Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans on Monday night. Coach Sean McDermott didn't rule out either of the players. Oliver hurt his ankle in a season-opening 31-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 8. Settle hasn't practiced this week due to a calf injury. Starting cornerback Dane Jackson returned to practice after missing the past two sessions with a knee injury.
Thiago Motta’s first match in charge of Bologna has ended in disappointment as his team hit the woodwork twice in a 1-0 defeat at home to fellow struggler Empoli in Serie A. Filippo Bandinelli’s second goal in as many matches was enough to give Empoli its first win of the season. Motta replaced the fired Siniša Mihajlović last week. Sampdoria is still seeking its first win of the Serie A season and visits Spezia later. Torino coach Ivan Juric returns after missing two matches with pneumonia as his squad hosts Sassuolo.
A court hearing has been set for Monday in Baltimore to consider a request from prosecutors to vacate the 2000 murder conviction of Adnan Syed, whose case was chronicled in the hit podcast “Serial.” The Baltimore Sun reports the matter will be heard at 2 p.m. in Baltimore Circuit Court. The development comes after Baltimore prosecutors filed a motion Wednesday saying a lengthy investigation had uncovered new evidence that could undermine the conviction of Syed. Syed was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee but has maintained his innocence for decades. "Serial” focused on the case and raised doubts about some of the evidence.
Yeshiva University has abruptly suspended student club activity in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision earlier this week that ordered the school to recognize for now an LGBTQ student group. In an email to students, university officials on Friday said that it “hold off on all undergraduate club activities while it immediately takes steps to follow the roadmap provided by the U.S. Supreme Court to protect YU’s religious freedom.” On Wednesday, the high court cleared the way for the LGBTQ group, YU Pride Alliance, to gain official recognition from the Jewish university in New York.
President Joe Biden heads to the United Kingdom to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth II at a time of transition in US-UK relations, as both a new royal and a new prime minister are settling in. The rise of Prime Minister Liz Truss, who once called the US-UK relationship “special but not exclusive,” could mark a decidedly new chapter in the trans-Atlantic partnership on trade and more. Of high concern for Biden officials in the early going of Truss’s premiership is her backing of legislation that would shred parts of the post-Brexit trading arrangements in Northern Ireland.
The long good-bye for Queen Elizabeth II is a reminder of a broader truth playing out with little fanfare across Britain: The nation is bidding farewell to the men and women who fought the country’s battles during World War II. The queen, who served as a mechanic and truck driver in the last months of the war, was a tangible link to the sailors, soldiers, airmen and others who signed up to do their bit in a conflict that killed 384,000 service personnel and 70,000 British civilians. But like the queen, even the youngest veterans of the war are now nearing their 100th birthdays. A steady stream of obituaries tells the story of a disappearing generation.
U.S.-backed Syrian fighters say they have concluded a 24-day sweep at a sprawling camp in northeast Syria housing tens of thousands of women and children linked to the Islamic State group. They said on Saturday that dozens of extremists were detained and weapons were confiscated in the operation at al-Hol camp, which began on Aug. 25. The U.S.-backed forces say they also uncovered IS sleeper cells preparing a new generation of militants. The statement by the Internal Security Forces says the operation was assisted by the U.S.-backed Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces as well as members of the U.S.-led coalition.

Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus is again in danger of missing a major tournament for Germany. The 33-year-old Reus has been stretchered off in the first half of Dortmund’s Ruhr derby against Schalke with what looks like a serious ankle injury. Reus was in tears after bending his right ankle unnaturally in a challenge for the ball with a Schalke player. Germany coach Hansi Flick had included Reus for the upcoming games against Hungary and England and was counting on the attacking midfielder as a key member of his World Cup squad. The tournament starts in Qatar on Nov. 20. Reus has been plagued by injuries at inopportune times throughout his career. He missed Germany’s World Cup win in 2014 with an ankle injury.
Marseille midfielder Jordan Veretout has been called up for France’s Nations League matches as a replacement for the injured Boubacar Kamara, the day after Kamara had replaced Adrien Rabiot. Veretout made the last of his five international appearances last November in a World Cup qualifier. Kamara came off just before halftime in Aston Villa’s 1-0 win over Southampton in the English Premier League on Friday night, having failed to shake off an injury he sustained in a challenge moments earlier. France plays Austria on Sept. 22 and travels to Copenhagen three days later to take on Denmark. France is in last place in Group 1 and is at risk of relegation to the second tier of the Nations League.
A 6.6 magnitude earthquake has struck southeastern Taiwan on Saturday evening. There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake was at a depth of 10 kilometers or 6.2 miles. The epicenter was near Guanshan township in Taitung County, a flat terrain and rice-growing area. It has a population of about 8,500 people.
Iranian police have fired tear gas to disperse a protest rally in the country’s west following the funeral ceremony for a young woman who died while in police custody in Tehran earlier this week. The semi-official Fars news agency says protesters gathered on Saturday after the funeral for 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested when the so-called “morality police” found fault with her headscarf. After riot police showed up and fired tear gas, the protesters dispersed. There was no immediate information about any injuries. The police say Amini died of a heart attack and have released closed circuit footage from the police station showing the moment she collapsed. A relative has said she had no history of heart disease.
Workers at composting companies in Colorado say they're seeing more trash contaminating the organic material they collect and fear the problem will worsen as communities expand their composting programs. Colorado Public Radio reports A1 organics, the state's largest compost recycler, has diverted about 25 to 30 semi-truck loads to landfills due to contamination over the last six weeks. Common culprits include adhesive fruit stickers and plastic knives, but glass bottles are especially problematic because small shards could pass through screening machines. Denver, which is poised to bolster its composting program, recently launched a campaign to teach people about proper composting.

The president of Kazakhstan has signed constitutional amendments that extend the presidential term to seven years and bring back the old name of the country’s capital. The changes are among political and economic reforms that President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has called for after violent protests rocked the country in January, killing more than 200 people. The unrest reflected widespread dismay with the country’s politics, which for over 30 years had been dominated by former President Nursultan Nazarbayev and his party. The amendments signed Saturday extend the presidential term to seven years from the current five, but also bar any president from running for a second term. The changes also rename the country’s capital, Nur-Sultan, back to Astana.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss took office less than two weeks ago, impatient to set her stamp on government. But the death of 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth II has ripped up Truss’s carefully laid plans. The monarch’s demise has put everyday politics in the U.K. on hold, forcing Truss to pause her plans. After the queen's state funeral on Monday, politics will return with a vengeance. Truss will outline her economic plans to combat soaring inflation, a plummeting national currency and skyrocketing energy bills — and face sharp questions from the opposition. She will also launch herself onto the world stage, travelling to New York to attend the U.N. General Assembly and holding crucial first talks with other world leaders.
A dilapidated villa outside Malta’s capital where a young Princess Elizabeth and her husband lived before she became queen has become a focal point of Malta’s remembrance of the late monarch. Flowers and wreaths have crowded the door of Villa Guardamangia, where Elizabeth and Prince Philip spent months at a time between 1949 and 1951, since the death of the woman who would go on to serve for 70 years as Queen Elizabeth II. Philip, a Royal Navy officer, was assigned to Malta in the early years of the couple’s marriage. . Unlike citizens of some other former British colonies, Maltese generally remember the monarch with respect and warmth.
Erling Haaland added a strike from outside the area to his repertoire of goals since joining Manchester City in a 3-0 win at 10-man Wolverhampton in the Premier League. City had already taken the lead through Jack Grealish after 55 seconds at Molineux when Haaland picked up the ball 40 meters out, drove toward the penalty box and shot right-footed into the bottom corner from the edge of the area in the 16th minute. It was Haaland’s 11th goal in seven league games. Wolverhampton’s already-slim chances virtually ended when center back Nathan Collins was shown a straight red card for a chest-high lunge on Grealish in the 33rd. Phil Foden scored City's third goal.
Friends and comrades-in-arms have bid farewell to a Russian woman who was killed while fighting on Ukraine’s side in the war with her native country. Thirty-four-year-old Olga Simonova was remembered for her courage and kindness at a funeral in Kyiv on Friday. She joined the fight in the Donbas on the Ukrainian side, first as a volunteer fighter, then a paramedic and ultimately as an enlisted member of the Armed Forces. In 2017 she received Ukrainian citizenship. Friends said she died on Sept. 13, after her vehicle hit a land mine.
Egypt says it will increase transit fees for vessels, including oil-laden tankers, passing through Suez Canal, one of the world’s most crucial waterways. The Suez Canal Authority said in a statement on Saturday that it will add 15% to the fees for tankers carrying oil and petroleum products, and 10% for dry bulk carriers and cruise ships. The authority's chief says the hikes will start on January 1. He blamed booming global inflation rates, which have increased the cost of the waterway’s operations, maintenance, and maritime services. About 10% of global trade flows through the Suez Canal, which is a major source of foreign currency to Egypt.
Amid mounting tensions, police were deployed Saturday in downtown Belgrade where a Pride march was expected to be held despite threats from anti-gay groups and an official earlier ban. Raising hopes that the pan-European LGBTQ event will pass without violence, organizers said they have received guarantees from Serbia’s Prime Minister Ana Brnabic, who is a lesbian, that the event can go ahead as planned. The European Pride Organizers Association chose Serbia’s capital three years ago to host the annual event, hoping it would represent a major breakthrough for a Slavic country that is traditionally conservative and strongly influenced by the Orthodox Church.

Ninety minutes after Queen Elizabeth II died, orders for thousands of British flags started to flood into a factory south of Shanghai. More than 100 employees at Chuangdong Tour Articles Co. set aside other work and put in 14-hour days starting at 7:30 a.m. making nothing but British-themed flags. Manager Fan Aiping says they turned out at least 500,000 the first week. Employees have learned to pay attention to news for events that might bring in orders. According to Fan, “there is a business opportunity behind every news event.”
Paris Saint-Germain player Kheira Hamraoui has published photos of her injuries from the brutal attack that left her fearing for her career. She says she is still haunted by it “night and day” and that she endured horrid abuse online afterward. Hamraoui was attacked last November following an evening out with her former PSG teammate Aminata Diallo and other teammates. Hamraoui was hit several times with a metal bar and needed stitches to her hands and legs. She wrote on Twitter that the attack “changed my personal and professional life, my life as a woman.” Diallo has been issued preliminary charges of “aggravated violence” and placed in custody in connection with the attack.
A South Carolina family is seeking justice for a woman killed by her neighbor who was intoxicated while doing target practice in his backyard. Nicholas Skylar Lucas is accused of murder in the shooting death of Kesha Luwan Lucille Tate after crime scene technicians debunked his claim that the shots ricocheted off his target. The local sheriff's office says the only way she could have been struck is if the shooter turned in her direction and intentionally fired. But the family says a guilty conviction would not be enough to avenge her death. They're seeking a change in the law that would make it illegal to practice firing guns in a residential neighborhood.
A program in central Virginia is aimed at getting people struggling with drug addiction into treatment by giving them support from recovering addicts who have turned their lives around. As part of Project Recover, peer recovery specialists are embedded with ambulance crews and police departments so they can respond immediately to emergency overdose calls. The specialists are all recovering addicts themselves. They go out on patrol with police in Chesterfield and Richmond to offer addicts both empathy and resources to try to get them to join detox and treatment programs. The program was funded last year by a $302,000 federal grant. The program’s supporters are currently searching for funding for a second year.
Plans by news organizations that have been in place for years — even decades — to cover the death of Queen Elizabeth II were triggered and tested when the event took place. London has been inundated with journalists, with more headed to the city for the funeral services on Monday. A giant audience is expected for the culmination of all the ceremonies, which one expert called “catnip” for television networks. For many journalists, plans have gone smoothly. There were some issues on Thursday with restrictions placed by the palace on use of video from inside Westminster Hall, where the queen's body was lying in state.
In December 1997, Michael Carneal opened fire on his fellow students during a morning prayer meeting at a Kentucky high school, killing three and wounding five more. Carneal was 14 at the time and received the maximum sentence for someone his age, life in prison with the opportunity for parole after 25 years. In the quarter century that has passed, school shootings have become a depressingly regular occurrence in the U.S. His parole hearing next week raises questions about the appropriate punishment for children who commit heinous crimes. Even if they can be rehabilitated, many wonder if it is fair to the victims for them to be released.
Jordanian officials say they have halted rescue efforts at the ruins of a collapsed four-story building after pulling out the 14th and final victim of the disaster. It’s not clear what caused the collapse on Tuesday of the building in Amman, Jordan’s capital. Authorities have arrested the building’s owner and two maintenance workers. At least 10 people were injured, and an infant was rescued from the rubble earlier this week. The building was located in an older district of the Jordanian capital that is popular among wealthier residents and expatriates but also includes some poorer areas. Jordan is a close Western ally that has long been seen as a bastion of stability in the volatile Middle East.
Poland’s top leaders are taking part in the opening of a new canal that they say will mean ships no longer must secure Russia’s permission to sail from the Baltic Sea to Vistula Lagoon ports. The event on Saturday was timed to mark 83 years since the Soviet invasion of Poland during World War II. The canal cost almost 2 billion zlotys ($420 million). It was designed to allow ships to sail from the Baltic Sea and the Bay of Gdansk to Polish ports without obtaining authorization to travel through Russia’s Strait of Pilawa. However, cargo ships can't use the passage until the approach to the Port of Elblag is deepened.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has spoken to students in person after being out of the public eye for nearly two weeks. His website says that Khamenei, 83, gave a seven-minute speech Saturday at the Imam Khomeini Hosseinieh, or congregation hall, in Tehran while standing. It reported that Khamenei called the pilgrimage of some 2 million Iranians to the Iraqi city of Karbala for the Arbaeen religious observance a “miraculous move.” Arbaeen comes 40 days after Ashura, the anniversary of Imam Hussein’s 7th-century death at the hands of Muslim Umayyad forces in the Battle of Karbala.
King Charles III and Prince William make surprise visit to long line of people waiting to file past late queen’s coffin.
The beer is flowing at Munich’s world-famous Oktoberfest for the first time since 2019. With three knocks of a hammer and the traditional cry of “O’zapft is” — “It’s tapped” — the city's mayor inserted the tap in the first keg at noon on Saturday to open the festivities. Oktoberfest has typically drawn about 6 million visitors every year to packed festival grounds in Bavaria’s capital. But the event didn't take place in 2020 and 2021 as authorities grappled with the unpredictable development of COVID-19 infections and restrictions. The mayor of Munich says he thinks the city made the right decision to allow the festival to take place this year. It runs through Oct. 3.
The security chiefs of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have sat down for talks to stop fighting on the border between the two countries that has killed at least 24 people and wounded over 100. The Kyrgyz border service announced the new round of talks as the two ex-Soviet nations traded blame for shelling that resumed Saturday morning after a respite overnight. The fighting started Wednesday for no obvious or publicly announced reason. An attempt to establish a cease-fire on Friday afternoon quickly failed. Kyrgyzstan’s Health Ministry says the bodies of 24 people killed in the clashes were delivered to hospitals in the Batken region. It wasn’t immediately clear whether there were any casualties on Tajikistan’s side.
Cyprus has hailed the full lifting of a U.S. arms embargo on the ethnically divided island nation as a milestone reaffirming increasingly tighter bilateral bonds that serve to bolster stability in the turbulent east Mediterranean region. The Cypriot Foreign Ministry said in a statement Saturday that the Cyprus-U.S. strategic partnership aims at creating the necessary conditions for regional security and stability. U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in in a statement that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had determined that Cyprus met the conditions to allow for “exports, re-exports and transfers of defense articles ... for the fiscal year 2023.” The U.S. will assess whether Cyprus complies with conditions for the embargo lift on an annual basis.
BALTIMORE — After beating the New York Jets, the Ravens will face a respectable team Sunday in their home opener against the Miami Dolphins.
LOS ANGELES — Every NFL team likes to play at home, but those familiar confines will look especially good to a handful of clubs who opened on the road and started the season as flat as a lonely stretch of highway.
