The Blues boss has also been banned for one game, though that punishment has been suspended for the time being. The two managers clashed more than once during the London derby at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

PSG won five of the past six domestic titles and have already opened a sizeable gap after eight matches of the new season. But the domestic dominance is yet to translate into European success despite chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s heavy investment in a succession of marquee signings. Tuchel has been tasked with improving on a series of premature exits and, while World Cup winner Deschamps admires the ex-Borussia Dortmund boss, he harbours concerns over the competitive preparation provided in Ligue 1....

Talking to Carlson about the mass shooting, Michell claimed that what’s really hurting the LGBTQ community is labelling “groomers”—a term that falsely equates non-heterosexual sexualities and non-cisgender identities with pedophilia—an anti-LGBTQ slur, and said that tragedies like the one at Club Q will keep happening “until we end this evil agenda.” Anderson Lee Aldrich is accused of opening fire at Club Q just before midnight on Saturday, killing five people and injuring 18 others....

During a Monday night monologue on the George Floyd protests, Carlson said the president’s handling of the ongoing unrest was a “distressing moment” for dedicated supporters who had defended Trump for “years and years.” The Fox News host also warned that any commander-in-chief who failed to protect the people was “done” at the ballot box. Carlson made his comments just two days after Fox News reporter Leland Vittert was chased and attacked by a group of protesters in Lafayette Park in Washington, D....

France, who had a late Antoine Griezmann strike ruled out by VAR in the final few seconds, still finished top of Group D, with Australia beating Denmark to join them in the Round of 16 as runners-up. With both sides making wholesale changes, it was Tunisia — needing a victory to have any hope of progressing — who made the brighter start, Nader Ghandri having an early effort ruled out by the offside flag....

The president issued executive orders in regards to relief amid the COVID-19 crisis, with talks over a bipartisan package for this having failed to reach a compromise. His plans would see up to $44 billion directed from the Disaster Relief Fund to pay $300 of a weekly $400 boost to unemployment benefits, with states having been urged to pay the remaining $100 with money from the Coronavirus Relief Fund or other sources....

In a demonstration of the perils of live broadcasting, the network’s chief White House correspondent was standing at the packed event—at which people did not socially distance and many were not wearing masks—in Sanford, Florida, summing up the coming days for Trump. Following a package which outlined the task that Trump faces in an election race in which he is trailing by 13 points in some polls, Acosta was describing how after the rally, the president would head to Pennsylvania, and then Iowa and North Carolina for other events....

Trump’s rally at the Delaware County Fairgrounds is set to start at 7 p.m., with doors having opened earlier in the afternoon. Local media reported that Trump supporters flocked to the event from across the country. Ahead of the event, Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) sent some of its correspondents out to interview those attending the rally. An RSBN reporter spoke with a small group of women holding cut-out photos of Trump’s head, according to video from the network’s live stream....

Trump shared a tweet from White House reporter Andrew Feinberg, who was commenting on a tweet from Republican Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee that suggested House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might be planning “to stage a coup” after she mentioned the 25th Amendment in relation to the president. “The 25th Amendment does not work that way, and also it’s not a coup to use it,” Feinberg tweeted. The president quickly deleted his retweet and tweeted Green’s original tweet, which was itself commenting on a C-SPAN video of Pelosi at a Thursday press conference discussing Trump’s recent behavior and saying she would “be talking about the 25th Amendment” tomorrow....

The campaign still owes money to at least six cities for rally bills, but Trump supporters in North Texas don’t seem to mind. They started lining up days ago to see the latest Keep America Great Again event. The venue, the American Airlines Center, is preparing for up to 20,000 attendees. Trump has a history of using his rallies to attack political opponents, the press and anyone else who’s bothering him at the time....

Washington Post photographer Jabin Botsford captured images of the notes as Trump folded up the piece of paper after his speech, before walking away from the podium. “This is the greatest country in the world,” the notes read. “In the case of Omar, we saved her from a dangerous situation in Somalia.” “She came here at 10 years old and is now a congresswoman. That could ONLY happen in America,” the notes continued....

The historic number of unemployment claims was higher than the record of 695,000 set at the beginning of October 1982. “We have to go back to work,” Trump said during Thursday’s coronavirus task force briefing. “Our country has to go back. Our country is based on that. And I think it’s going to happen pretty quickly. A lot of progress is made, but we’ve got to get back to work....

“Wow! 100,000 Mail In Ballots in New York City a total MESS,” the president said on Twitter. “Mayor and Governor have no idea what to do. Big Fraud, Unfixable!” The New York City Board of Elections discussed the absentee ballot problem during a board meeting on Tuesday. Executive Director Michael Ryan said the board received complaints over the past few days from voters who said that there was nothing wrong with the ballots themselves but that the envelopes they received were printed incorrectly....

“Our country is dying from within and nobody is doing anything to stop it,” he said as he also reiterated his demand of building a border wall, claiming that the country is being “poisoned with the millions of people that are illegally flooding through our borders.” “In most cases, [they] are not even questioned or stopped. Many are criminals from the emptied prisons of other countries, most of these are very dangerous people,” he said in the statement posted on Twitter by his spokesperson Liz Harrington....

Lonnie Durfee, 49, was arraigned on Tuesday in the Central Berkshire District Court in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, with one count of burning personal property in connection to the large fire at the Holiday Brook Farm in Dalton on October 10. Police and the fire department were called to the farm after the large hay bales with “USA Biden-Harris 2020” painted on them were allegedly ignited on purpose. “I didn’t take long,” Dicken Crane, the farm’s owner, wrote on Facebook while sharing an image of the fire....

The Commission for Presidential Debates announced that microphones will be able to be muted at points in the coming head-to-head, with this being done during opening remarks to prevent the candidates from speaking over each other. This ruling will allow each candidate two minutes uninterrupted at the start of each segment, before shifting to an open debate format on the topic thereafter during the debate at Belmont University in Nashville, on October 22....

In the 15 years since Congress eliminated many tax shelters, deducting your way to a lower tax bill has become an elusive pursuit, especially for rank-and-file employees. But tax gurus like Botkin are aggressively pushing new ways to help Americans reduce taxes: by embracing deductions created for small businesses. And as freelancing and moonlighting have gone mainstream, more people are in a position to utilize them. Last week the U....

Tsitsipas, the top seed, brushed past wildcard Tommy Paul 6-3 7-5 in their second-round clash in Washington. The Greek star converted three of his eight break points to set up a last-16 meeting with Australian Jordan Thompson. Thompson produced one of the upsets of the day, beating 14th seed Jan-Lennard Struff 6-7 (8-10) 6-4 7-5. Kyrgios’ run also continued, the Australian serving 24 aces in a 6-4 7-6 (7-5) victory over French 11th seed Gilles Simon....

With the match level at three apiece, Tsonga won nine straight games to claim an easy 6-3 6-0 first-round win in just 57 minutes. It was the Frenchman’s first match on grass for two years, and he said: “It’s never easy to play your first match on grass, especially against Mischa, who is a good server. “With the year I’ve had last year, I just want to play and do my best during the grass swing....

A lot has happened for Naomi Osaka since she beat Serena Williams in the U.S. Open final last September, and she’s still coming to terms with it. Mostly, it’s the expectations. She has reached the semifinals or better at four of her last five tournaments but hasn’t added another title. A 6-2, 6-4 loss to No. 27-ranked Lesia Tsurenko on Saturday cost second-seeded Osaka a place in the Brisbane International final and a move up to the No....
