Two men’s World Cup downhill races next weekend that start in Switzerland and finish in Italy have been called off due to a lack of snow on the final 300 meters of the course following an unseasonably warm fall. The Zermatt-Cervinia downhill against the spectacular backdrop of the Matterhorn was set to become the first cross-border event in Alpine skiing’s World Cup history. FIS says the races have been canceled “due to the lack of snow and the safety situation on last section of the race track” and will not be replaced.
Zilli Schmidt, a survivor of the Auschwitz and Ravensbrueck concentration camps, has died at 98. She had become a vocal advocate for the recognition of the Nazi genocide of Sinti and Roma. Schmidt died Friday, according to the foundation of Berlin’s Holocaust memorial. The organization said she “leaves behind a deep void” as one of the last survivors of the Sinti and Roma genocide. Born to a Sinti family in the eastern German state of Thuringia, Schmidt was sent to a concentration camp in 1942. Large parts of her family were murdered at Auschwitz in 1944. In 2021, she received the Federal Cross of Merit, which recognizes those who have made notable contributions to German society.
Months after accusing disbarred attorney Alex Murdaugh of killing his wife and son, South Carolina investigators and prosecutors have released few details about the evidence that they believe connect him to the slayings. That’s prompted Murdaugh’s lawyers to file a flurry of court documents requesting information from the prosecution, seeking to publicly weaken the case before the January trial has begun. Prosecutors insist their case is strong even if they don't have eyewitnesses or any video of the June 2021 killings at the family's Colleton County home. The trial is set to start on Jan. 23.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 22, 2022--
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has returned to Britain ahead of a possible tilt at reclaiming his former job. Johnson was ousted by a series of ethics scandals just three months ago, but boarded a flight back to London from his vacation in the Dominican Republic, days after the dramatic resignation of his successor, Liz Truss. He landed in London on Saturday morning. Johnson has not officially said he is running but some allies in the parliamentary party have been loudly calling for his return. Tory lawmakers wishing to enter the race must secure the backing of 100 of their colleagues by 2 p.m. on Monday.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has criticized broadcasters for what he calls unacceptably low offers for rights to screen the Women’s World Cup next year. He says offers of “100 times less" than the value of men’s World Cup rights deals have been rejected. The women's World Cup starts in July hosted by Australia and New Zealand. The time zones there mean many games will be played in nighttime hours in key markets in Europe and the Americas. Infantino took a further jibe at broadcasters who he said also pushed FIFA to treat women’s soccer more equally.

CHICAGO — Velus Jones Jr. has given it some thought. If he had that one sequence from last week’s loss to the Washington Commanders to do over again, if he had a redo on the punt he muffed inside the Chicago Bears 10-yard line with 8 minutes, 12 seconds remaining, he would have just stayed away.

West and Central African countries are battling deadly floods that have upended lives and livelihoods, raising fears of further disruption of food supplies in many areas battling armed conflict. Above-average rainfall and devastating flooding have affected 5 million people this year in 19 countries across West and Central Africa, according to a new U.N. World Food Program situation report. WFP says that's “likely to deepen the already worrisome hunger situation for millions” in the region. In Nigeria, floods have killed at least 600 people and displaced 1.3 million so far this year. The situation is similar in other parts of West Africa including Cameroon, Niger and Chad where the nation’s government declared a state of emergency after floods displaced a million people.
Japan and Australia have signed a new bilateral security agreement to reflect the deteriorating security outlook for their region driven by China's increasing assertiveness. The upgrade of the Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation was the major outcome of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s meeting with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese in the west coast city of Perth on Saturday. The pact was first signed in 2007 when China’s rise was less concerning. It builds on a reciprocal access agreement inked in January that removes obstacles to holding joint military exercises in either country. Japan said its Self-Defense Forces will train and take part in exercises with the Australian military in northern Australia for the first time under the agreement.

The first women’s race of the Alpine skiing’s World Cup season has been called off after rain and snowfall affected the visibility on the course and made a safe race impossible. FIS says the giant slalom was called off “due to the current weather situation and the future weather forecast.” Organizers initially delayed the planned start by one but decided to call off the race soon after as conditions didn’t improve. There was no immediate word whether the race would be rescheduled. A men’s giant slalom on the same course on the Rettenbach glacier is scheduled for Sunday.
