The Drama of Deadline Day Transfer deadline day is football’s version of theatre. Fax machines jam, private jets go dark, and managers suddenly “believe in” a player they had never previously mentioned. The day has produced some of the most baffling, brilliant, and downright chaotic moves in modern football history. Below is a look at the deals that made fans question reality, club accountants panic, and journalists refresh Twitter every three seconds.

Nvidia is playing fast and loose with its war chest as it looks to build on its momentum as the chief benefactor of the AI boom. The company on Tuesday signed a €1 billion ($1.15 billion) partnership with Deutsche Telekom to set up an “AI factory” in Munich that aims to boost Germany’s AI computing power by 50%. Called the “Industrial AI Cloud,” the project will use more than 1,000 Nvidia DGX B200 systems and RTX Pro Servers with up to 10,000 Blackwell GPUs to provide AI inferencing and other services to German companies while complying with German data sovereignty laws.

A criminal investigation was opened by the Paris police's cybercrime unit at the end of October, Delaporte wrote in a press release welcoming the news. “Our commission’s empirical observation is that of an algorithmic trap that, in just a few interactions, increases exposure to harmful, anxiety-inducing, and depressing content,” he previously said. TikTok is regulated as a Very Large Online Platform by the European Commission under the EU’s Digital Services Act.

Midfielders rarely get the glory of a 30-goal striker or the market buzz of a £100 million winger, yet they’re the ones who truly change how a team plays. When a midfield signing clicks, it can reshape the rhythm of an entire club, dictate its tempo, and spark a new identity on the pitch. Here are the midfield transfers that did exactly that – moves that shifted balance sheets, trophy hauls, and legacies.

Facing an international outcry, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reversed course on his controversial decision to assert political control over the anti-corruption agencies and restored the independence of two corruption-fighting bodies in July.

Today, as the world reaches a critical juncture in the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria, the EU must choose: match scientific breakthroughs with political will and investment or retreat, putting two decades of hard-won progress at risk.

It was undergoing restoration as part of the Caput Mundi–Next Generation EU project, funded by the EU’s post-Covid economic reconstruction program. The prefect of Rome, Lamberto Giannini, said one person remained trapped inside.

Manon Aubry et son parti, La France insoumise, considèrent Zohran Mamdani comme un exemple pour produire un “changement radical”, alors qu’ils affichent de fortes ambitions pour les municipales françaises de 2026. | Frederick Florin/Getty Images Le triomphe probable de ce dernier sur Andrew Cuomo, l’ancien gouverneur de New York, expérimenté mais dont la réputation a été entachée par les scandales — et qui se présente en tant qu’indépendant après avoir été battu par Mamdani lors de la primaire démocrate —, est également le dernier exemple en date de partis plus modérés dépassés par des forces plus radicales aux deux extrémités de l’échiquier politique.

Wormald, who is the head of the civil service, confirmed that there was “no panel interview” when Mandelson was being considered for the role because the post was filled through a direct ministerial appointment by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. A panel interview would normally be used to ask a candidate if there was anything in their history that would bring the government into disrepute, Wormald explained, but Mandelson did not go through this process, and therefore the question was not directly posed.

However, the intervention was criticized by Mamdani’s main opponent, the independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, who attacked Corbyn’s controversial tenure as Labour leader. After defying the odds to deprive former Conservative prime minister Theresa May of a majority in 2017, Corbyn took Labour to a calamitous defeat in the 2019 election. His stint at the top of Labour drew frequent criticism of the way the party dealt with allegations of anti-semitism in its own ranks, with Britain’s human rights watchdog finding that…

As speculation grows as to what could and could not be included in the budget, do Reform UK have a credible and alternative plan for the economy?

“Our negotiators had never seen this before in any international talks,” said one European official, who had spoken to negotiators. “People being summoned to the U.S. Embassy in London — intimidation, threats of cessation of business, threats of family members losing visas.” Another European Commission official added that diplomats returned home rattled after the meetings: “We had feedback from a number of people involved in the negotiations about the pressure they faced.”

The base is key to Belgium's defense and includes an American presence. That's where Belgium's U.S.-made nuclear-capable F-16 fighter jets are currently stationed, and where F-35s will be located as well. This weekend's incident is one of many recently in Belgium and elsewhere in Europe. In the past weeks, Russian drones were intercepted and shot down over Poland.

President Donald Trump will host Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House on Friday, a White House official told POLITICO, as the administration continues to make Middle East diplomacy a central tenet of its foreign policy prospectus.

Vučić downplayed Saturday’s events when asked by reporters. “What is happening in Novi Sad? Is some soccer match being played?” he said. Authorities also canceled all rail transport in the country on Friday, claiming a bomb threat; however, media reports suggest it was a move to prevent citizens from reaching the city for the demonstrations. What began as a demand for accountability over a tragedy blamed on government negligence quickly escalated into nationwide protests over the past year.

Congress failed to reopen the government before funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ran out Saturday.
