At 17 years, 7 months old he's the youngest player taken first overall since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1987.Full recap:Rounds 1-3. 🏀Mavs shut down Flagg:After just two games, including a31-point outburston Saturday, the Mavericks areshutting down No. 1 pick Cooper Flaggfor the rest of Summer League. ⛳️Kim wins in France:Australia's Grace Kim beat world No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul in a playoffto capture her first major titleat the Evian Championship with some of the most clutch golf you'll see this year. 🏎️F1 to Apple:Formula 1 telecasts will reportedly move to Apple next season after the companyoutbid ESPN for the broadcast rights. This comes two weeks after Apple's "F1" film opened No. 1 at the box office. 🏀Clark bests Bueckers:Caitlin Clark (14 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists) and the Fever steamrolled Paige Bueckers (21 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) and the Wings, 102-83, inthe first WNBA matchupbetween the former Naismith Players of the Year. MLB's first half is officially in the rearview, with tonight's Home Run Derby kicking off All-Star week. But for five of the league's best sluggers, the derby started months ago. Historic achievement:For the first time ever, five players have at least 30 home runs at the All-Star break. Cal Raleigh (38 HR):The Mariners' switch-hitting catcher has already eclipsed his career-high, and his 38 dingers areone shy of Barry Bonds' recordfor the most ever at the break, when he hit 39 in 2001 en route to a record 73 that season. Aaron Judge (35 HR):The Yankees' captain reached 350 career home runs on Saturdayfaster than any other player in MLB history(1,088 career games). The next-fastest to 350: Mark McGwire (1,280), Juan González (1,298) and Alex Rodriguez (1,301). Shohei Ohtani (32 HR):Not only does Ohtani have his fifth straight 30-homer season; the Dodgers' two-way star also has a 1.00 ERA in his first five starts since returning from elbow surgery. Eugenio Suárez (31 HR):Arizona's third baseman, who's been on fire with 10 HR in his last 22 games, made history back in April when he became the 19th player in MLB historywith a four-homer game. Kyle Schwarber (30 HR):Philly's DH just keeps getting better with age, and this season the 11-year vet has cut his bloated strikeout rate to a six-year low while still crushing pretty much everything he makes contact with. Zoom out:This historic achievement isn't due to some broader power surge, as the league-wide HR rate is actually tied with last season's for the second-lowest in a decade. Data also suggests that fly balls are traveling less far than they did a year ago thanks toMLB's ever-changing balls. Instead, it's a perfect storm of the league's best sluggers all clicking at the same time. Indeed, there's nothing random about the list above, with all five guysamong the top 10 home run hitters since 2022(Raleigh's first full season). The quintet is also an encapsulation of modern "three true outcomes" baseball, as all five are in the top 20 for strikeouts and four of five (all but Suárez) are in the top 10 for walks. Looking ahead:FanGraphs projects that Judge (55 HR), Raleigh (53), Ohtani (49) and Schwarber (47) will at least flirt with 50 homers. If all four reach that hallowed mark, 2025 will join 1998 and 2001 as the only years in MLB history with a quartet of 50-homer seasons. Men:Top-ranked Jannik Sinner beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, on Sunday towin his first Wimbledon titleand fourth major. Sinner, 23, avenged his heartbreaking loss to Alcaraz, 22, in the French Open final just five weeks ago. His victory on Sunday ended a run of five straight losses to Alcaraz, who now holds an 8-5 lead in their all-time series. The Big 2:Sinner and Alcaraz have combined to win the past seven Grand Slams and nine of the last 12. Fittingly, this marked the first time the same two men faced off in the French Open and Wimbledon finals in the same year since Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Women:Iga Świątek blanked Amanda Anisimova, 6-0, 6-0, in 57 minutes on Saturday towin her first Wimbledon titleand sixth major championship. Chasing history:Świątek, 24, is theeighth womanto complete the "surface slam" with a major win on all three surfaces, and she's now an Australian Open title away from completing the coveted career Grand Slam. Chelsea blanked Paris Saint-Germain, 3-0, on Sunday towin the first editionof the expanded Club World Cup, which began on June 14 with a 32-team field. From Yahoo Sports' Henry Bushnell: It was everything everybody expected PSG to do Sunday at MetLife Stadium. But, remarkably, it was Chelsea doing it. The Blues, who were +370 underdogs to win in regulation, needed only 43 minutes to race past the European champions. Cole Palmer, who'd been freezing cold from January through June, sank the favorites with two goals inside the first half hour, then an exquisite assist before halftime. Palmer's stealthy assault on the PSG goal began 22 minutes after the soccer began, after a pre-match show filled with Americana, after Michael Buffer boomed to a sold-out crowd of 80,000: "Let's get ready to rummmmbllllleeee!" An unlikely champion:The Blues felt like outsiders for most of the month, having qualified for the tournament via their win in the 2021 Champions League final, a match in which only one current player appeared. They arrived in the U.S. having finished fourth in the English Premier League, and having rolled through a third-tier continental competition, the UEFA Conference League. When they lost to Flamengo in the group stage, frankly, they didn't seem like they were all that thrilled to be here. But they grew into the knockout stages and took advantage of a relatively soft half of the bracket, beating Benfica, Palmeiras and Fluminense. And then, in the final, they did what nobody thought anybody could.

Trump says US will send Patriot missiles to UkraineNew Foto - Trump says US will send Patriot missiles to Ukraine

By Steve Holland and Trevor Hunnicutt WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, saying they are necessary to defend the country because Russian President Vladimir Putin "talks nice but then he bombs everybody in the evening." Trump did not give a number of Patriots he plans to send to Ukraine, but he said the United States would be reimbursed for their cost by the European Union.The U.S. president has grown increasingly disenchanted with Putin because the Russian leader has resisted Trump's attempts to negotiate a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. Trump is expected to announce a new plan to arm Ukraine with offensive weapons in a sharp departure from his earlier stance, Axios reported on Sunday, citing two sources familiar with the matter. The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters couldn't immediately verify the report. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has asked for more defensive capabilities to fend off a daily barrage of missile and drone attacks from Russia. "We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, because Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening. But there's a little bit of a problem there. I don't like it," Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington. "We basically are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated military equipment. They are going to pay us 100% for that, and that's the way we want it," Trump said. He plans to meet NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to discuss Ukraine and other issues this week.

A Senate vote this week will test the popularity of DOGE spending cutsNew Foto - A Senate vote this week will test the popularity of DOGE spending cuts

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans will test the popularity ofDepartment of Government Efficiencyspending cuts this week by aiming to pass PresidentDonald Trump's request to claw back $9.4 billion in public media and foreign aid spending. Senate Democrats are trying to kill the measure but need a few Republicans uncomfortable with the president's effort to join them. Trump's Republican administration is employing a rarely used tool that allows the president totransmit a requestto cancel previously approved funding authority. The request triggers a 45-day clock under which the funds are frozen. If Congress fails to act within that period, then the spending stands. That clock expires Friday. The House has alreadyapproved Trump's requeston a mostly party line 214-212 vote. The Senate has little time to spare to beat the deadline for the president's signature. Another House vote will be needed if senators amend the legislation, adding more uncertainty to the outcome. Here's a closer look at this week's debate. Public media on the chopping block Trump has asked lawmakers to rescind nearly $1.1 billion fromthe Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which represents the full amount it's due to receive during the next two budget years. The White House says the public media system is politically biased and an unnecessary expense. The corporation distributes more than two-thirds of the money to more than 1,500 locally operated public television and radio stations, with much of the remainder assigned to National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System to support national programming. The potential fallout from the cuts for local pubic media stations has generated concerns on both sides of the political aisle. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said he's worried about how the rescissions will hit radio stations that broadcast to Native Americans in his state. He said the vast majority of their funding comes from the federal government. "They're not political in nature," Rounds said of the stations. "It's the only way of really communicating in the very rural areas of our state, and a lot of other states as well." Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Ala., said that for the tribal radio stations in her state, "almost to a number, they're saying that they will go under if public broadcasting funds are no longer available to them." To justify the spending cuts, the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers have cited certain activities they disagree with to portray a wide range of a program's funding as wasteful. Inrecent testimony, Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought criticized programming aimed at fosteringdiversity, equity, and inclusion. He said NPR aired a 2022 program entitled "What 'Queer Ducks' can teach teenagers about sexuality in the animal kingdom." He also cited a special town hall that CNN held in 2020 with "Sesame Street" about combatting racism. Targeting humanitarian aid As part of the package, Trump has asked lawmakers to rescind about $8.3 billion in foreign aid programs that aim to fight famine and disease and promote global stability. Among the targets: — $900 million to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases and strengthen detections systems to prevent wider epidemics. — $800 million for a program that provides emergency shelter, water and sanitation and family reunification for those forced to flee their own country. — $4.15 billion for two programs designed to boost the economies and democratic institutions in developing and strategically important countries. — $496 million to provide humanitarian assistance such as food, water and health care for countries hit by natural disasters and conflicts. Some of the health cuts are aimed at a program known as PEPFAR, which President George W. Bush, a Republican, began to combat HIV/AIDS in developing countries. The program is credited with saving 26 million lives and has broad bipartisan support. On PEPFAR, Vought told senators "these cuts are surgical and specifically preserve life-saving assistance." But many lawmakers are wary, saying they've seen no details about where specifically the administration will cut. The administration also said some cuts, such as eliminating funding for UNICEF, would encourage international organizations to be more efficient and seek contributions from other nations, "putting American taxpayers first." U.S. leaders have often argued that aiding other nations through "soft power" is not just the right thing to do but also the smart thing. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told Vought there is "plenty of absolute nonsense masquerading as American aid that shouldn't receive another bit of taxpayer funding," but he called the administration's attempt to root it out "unnecessarily chaotic." "In critical corners of the globe, instead of creating efficiencies, you've created vacuums for adversaries like China to fill," McConnell told Vought. Trump weighs in The president has issued a warning on his social media site directly aimed at individual Senate Republicans who may be considering voting against the cuts. He said it was important that all Republicans adhere to the bill and in particular defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. "Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement," he said. For individual Republicans seeking reelection, the prospect of Trump working to defeat them is reason for pause and could be a sign the package is teetering. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., opted to announce he wouldnot seek reelectionrecently after the president called for a primary challenger to the senator when he voted not to advance Trump's massivetax and spending cut bill. Getting around a filibuster Spending bills before the 100-member Senate almost always need some bipartisan buy-in to pass. That's because the bills need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster and advance. But this week's effort is different. Congress set up a process back when Republican Richard Nixon was president for speedily considering a request to claw back previously approved spending authority. Under those procedures, it takes only a simple Senate majority to advance the president's request to a final vote. It's a rarely employed maneuver. In 1992, President George H.W. Bush, a Republican, had some success with his rescissions request, though the final bill included some cuts requested by the president and many that were not. Trumpproposed 38 rescissionsin 2018, but the package stalled in the Senate. If senators vote to take up the bill, it sets up the potential for 10 hours of debate plus votes on scores of potentially thorny amendments in what is known as a vote-a-rama. Democrats see the president's request as an effort to erodethe Senate filibuster. They warn it's absurd to expect them to work with GOP lawmakers on bipartisan spending measures if Republicans turn around a few months later and use their majority to cut the parts they don't like. Senate Democratic leaderChuck Schumeroffered a stern warning in a letter to colleagues: "How Republicans answer this question on rescissions and other forthcoming issues will have grave implications for the Congress, the very role of the legislative branch, and, more importantly, our country," Schumer said. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., took note of the warning. "I was disappointed to see the Democrat leader in his recent Dear Colleague letter implicitly threaten to shut down the government," Thune said. The Trump administration is likening the first rescissions package to a test case and says more could be on the way if Congress goes along.

Iga Swiatek is at No. 3 after Wimbledon and Amanda Anisimova is in the top 10. Sinner still No. 1New Foto - Iga Swiatek is at No. 3 after Wimbledon and Amanda Anisimova is in the top 10. Sinner still No. 1

LONDON (AP) —Iga Swiatek's Wimbledon championshipmoved her up to No. 3 in the WTA rankings Monday, andAmanda Anisimova's runner-upfinish allowed the American to break into the top 10 for the first time at No. 7. A year ago, Anisimova was ranked 189th and wasn't able to get into the field at the All England Club automatically. So she tried to qualify but lost. This year, Anisimova was seeded at Wimbledon and made it all the way to her firstGrand Slamfinal, beating No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals before losing to Swiatek 6-0, 6-0. "I look at it, and I'm like, 'Oh, wow.' It's kind of a shock at first, and I can't really process it. Then it's like, 'Oh, yeah, I've played very well so far this year,' so it kind of makes sense. I feel like I kind of look at it from both sides," Anisimova said. She climbed from No. 12. "I mean, it's super special and a surreal feeling to be in the top 10," Anisimova said. "If I thought to myself last year, if someone told me that I'll be breaking the top 10 by now, I don't know, it would be pretty surprising to me considering where I was last summer." Swiatek was No. 1 for most of the past three seasons but a year without reaching a tournament final dropped her to No. 8 last month. Making the final at a grass-court tournament before Wimbledon pushed her up to No. 4, and now she's another place higher after collecting her sixth major trophy. Sabalenka remained atop the women's rankings, followed by French Open championCoco Gauff, who lost in the first round at Wimbledon. Laura Siegemundleaped up 50 spots for the biggest improvement Monday — from 104th to 54th — by getting to the quarterfinals. The biggest fall was by 2024 Wimbledon championBarbora Krejcikova, who slid 62 places, from No. 16 to No. 78, after bowing out in the third round. Jannik Sinner stayed at No. 1 in the ATPafter his first Wimbledon titleand fourth at a Grand Slam tournament. Carlos Alcaraz,the two-time defending champion who lost in Sunday's final, kept his No. 2 ranking. Semifinalist Taylor Fritz went up from No. 5 to No. 4, swapping with Jack Draper. Flavio Cobolli's debut in a Grand Slam quarterfinal — he lost in that round to Novak Djokovic — lifted the 23-year-old Italian into the top 20 for the first time, going from No. 24 to No. 19. Ben Shelton rose one spot to No. 9, and Andre Rublev rose four to No. 10. ___ AP tennis:https://apnews.com/hub/tennis

John Elway's fate revealed after his agent's tragic death in golf cart accidentNew Foto - John Elway's fate revealed after his agent's tragic death in golf cart accident

John Elway won't face any charges in connection tothe death of his longtime agent,Jeff Sperbeck, who died in April afterfalling off a golf cartthe former Broncos quarterbackwas driving. The Riverside County (Calif.) Sheriff's Office will be announcing that its investigation found no criminal activity and that Sperbeck's death was an accident. "It's over,'' Riverside Sheriff Chad Biancotold 9NEWSon Friday. "We've talked to everyone involved and we found nothing new. There was nothing criminal, it was what we've been saying all along that this was a tragic accident." Sperbeck, 62, died on April 30, four days after he fell off of the back of a golf cart at The Madison Club in La Quinta, Calif. Sperbeck was transported to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs and placed on life support. The Riverside Sheriff's Coronerruled in Maythat Sperbeck's death was the result of "blunt head trauma," and that the manner of death was "accident." "There are no words to truly express the profound sadness I feel with the sudden loss of someone who has meant so much to me," Elway, 65, said in a statement after Sperbeck's death. "My heart and deepest sympathies go out to Jeff's wife, Cori; his children Carly, Sam and Jackson; and everyone who knew and loved him. Jeff will be deeply missed for the loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought into my life and the lives of so many others." Sperbeck became Elway's agent in the 1990s and the two later became business partners, starting a winery called 7Cellars. Elway, a Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion as a player, later won another ring with the Broncos as their general manager.

A review finds a BBC Gaza documentary breached editorial guidelinesNew Foto - A review finds a BBC Gaza documentary breached editorial guidelines

LONDON (AP) — A BBC documentary about children's lives inGazabreached editorial guidelines on accuracy because it failed to disclose that the program was narrated by the son of a Hamas official, according to a report published Monday. The broadcaster removed the program, "Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone," from its streaming service in February after it emerged that the 13-year-old narrator, Abdullah, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture. A review found that the independent production company that made the program did not share the background information regarding the narrator's father with the BBC. It said that the production company, Hoyo Films, bears most responsibility for the failure, though it did not "intentionally" mislead the BBC. The review, conducted by the corporation's director of editorial complaints and reviews, found no other breaches of editorial guidelines, including impartiality. There was no evidence of "outside interests" impacting on the program, it said. Earlier this year, Britain's Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy questioned why no one at the BBC had lost their job over the program's airing. The broadcaster's Director-General Tim Davie had told lawmakers that the BBC received hundreds of complaints alleging that the documentary was biased against Israel, as well as hundreds more criticizing the program's removal from its streaming service. Davie said Monday that the report identified "a significant failing" in relation to accuracy in the documentary. Hoyo Films apologized for the mistake. Both firms said they would prevent similar errors in the future. Separately, more than 100 BBC journalists wrote a letter to Davie earlier this month criticizing its decision not to air another documentary, "Gaza: Medics Under Fire." They expressed concerns that the broadcaster was not reporting "'without fear or favour' when it comes to Israel." The decision suggested that the BBC was an "organization that is crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government," that letter said. The BBC has been under intense scrutiny for its coverage touching on the war in Gaza. Last month, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and otherscondemnedthe corporation for livestreaming a performance byrap punk duo Bob Vylan, who led crowds at Glastonbury Festival in chanting "death" to the Israeli military. The 21-month Israel-Hamas war started after the militant group attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage. Most of the hostages have been released in earlier ceasefires. Israel's offensive in Gaza has killed more than 58,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry, under Gaza's Hamas-run government, doesn't differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count. The U.N. and other international organizations see its figures as the most reliable statistics on war casualties. ___ Follow AP's war coverage athttps://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war
