Ex-US federal prosecutor tapped to lead office probing Letitia James, email says
Six years after a devastating fire, the towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral are reopened.
The iconic Medieval towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris have reopened to the public, six years after a massive fire ravaged parts of the historical landmark and forced its closure.
The central part of the cathedral was reopened in December 2024, but it has taken longer for Notre-Dame’s twin towers to be accessible once again for visitors.
A huge restoration project has taken place over the past few years to bring the cathedral back to its former glory after parts of it were substantially damaged during 2019’s fire.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday reopened the newly-restored towers to the public.

Rural America Faces Devastating Economic Crisis: Many Farmers Could See Their Last Year Without Relief From Trump-Xi Call
The 40th Farm Aid benefit concert is being held on Saturday as the economic outlook for rural America is the gloomiest it’s been in decades.
A survey released by the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) on Wednesday showed that 46% believe the U.S. is on the brink of a farm crisis, and another 33% said maybe.
Meanwhile, about two-thirds said they are more concerned about their financial situation compared to a year ago, with 58% postponing equipment purchases, 38% reducing fertilizer applications and 22% looking for more off-farm income.
“These findings point to a once-in-a-generation problem for the agricultural economy,” said NCGA Chief Economist Krista Swanson said in a statement. “The survey findings suggest that this crisis could have a long reach, affecting every area of the economy, as farmers are less likely to make purchases and will certainly make budget cuts that could affect their local communities.”
The bleak survey results mirrored similarly downbeat readings in the Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer Index, which fell 10 points in August to 125. A subindex on expectations for the future dropped 16 points to 123, the lowest since last September.
That’s as crop prices have plunged from their 2022 peak, while production costs remain near record highs.
Last month, the NCGA called on Congress and the Trump administration to boost demand, including via higher blends of ethanol and increased foreign market access, as it sounded the alarm on an “economic crisis hitting rural America.”
Meanwhile, export demand has suffered amid President Donald Trump’s trade war, which has hit certain crops especially hard.
The American Soybean Association sent a letter to Trump last month, warning that “U.S. soybean farmers are standing at a trade and financial precipice.” With harvest season near, China hasn’t purchased any U.S. soybeans for the months ahead, it added, despite being the top buyer historically.
The group said U.S. soybean farmers cannot survive a prolonged trade dispute with China and urged Trump to prioritize soybeans in talks with Beijing.
But on Friday, Trump didn’t mention anything about agricultural exports after a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Prices for soybeans, corn and wheat all fell yesterday.
To be sure, U.S. farmers are set to receive substantial help. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act that was signed in July included about $66 billion in agriculture-focused spending. The vast majority, about $59 billion, is earmarked for farm safety-net enhancements, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
And Trump is weighing a bailout program for farmers that would use tariff income, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told the Financial Times on Wednesday.
American Soybean Association CEO Stephen Censky told Farm Journal’s AgWeb on Friday that government assistance gets “capitalized” over the longer term, meaning payments offer limited overall relief for farmers who subsequently see rents and other costs go up too.
“It’s tough, and I can hear it in the stress in our members’ voices. Our members and our board of directors are really concerned right now,” Censky, who served as deputy agriculture secretary in Trump’s first term, said. “Some say if things don’t turn around, if we don’t get markets back or if we get economic assistance — which is not our first choice — this could be their last year in farming. That’s pretty scary.”

India and Pakistan Strive to Steer Clear of Controversy Before Important Asia Cup Match | Cricket Update
India and Pakistan are keen to avoid controversy ahead of their crucial Super Fours fixture at the Asia Cup 2025, as the political fallout of their previous match continues to overshadow the cricket tournament in Dubai.
Pakistan cancelled their pre-match news conference one hour before its scheduled time on Saturday, while India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav evaded questions on the “no handshake” row when he spoke to the media after his team’s win over Oman on Friday.

Sunday’s match between the South Asian archrivals will be their second meeting in eight days, with the winner taking a step closer to the tournament’s final on September 28.
While the political statements and off-field actions following the September 14 clash continue to impact preparations for the upcoming Super Fours match, both camps have taken steps to avoid further repercussions and protect the players from controversy.
When Yadav was asked to comment on the handshake row after his team’s last group-stage fixture on Friday evening, he responded by saying: “It [the match] will be a good contest between the ball and the bat.”
He went on to add that he’s asked his players to “shut the noise” ahead of the match against Pakistan.
“Close your room, switch off your phone and sleep,” the India captain said.
“It’s easy to say, but sometimes it is difficult.”
Having made pointedly political statements after his team’s win over Pakistan on Sunday, the 35-year-old chose to steer clear of similar comments a day before their second match.
“We stand with all the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and with their families, and dedicate this win to our brave armed forces who took part in Operation Sindoor,” the 35-year-old said when asked if his team’s decision to not shake hands with Pakistani players was against the spirit of cricket.
Yadav was referring to the Indian armed forces’ multiple missile attacks on six locations inside Pakistan.
India said the missiles were in response to the April 22 attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir in Pahalgam, in which 26 men were killed. An armed group called The Resistance Front (TRF), which demands independence for Kashmir, claimed responsibility for the attack, but India had alleged Pakistani involvement.
Pakistan denied any role in the attacks and asked for an independent investigation to be carried out.
Two days later, Pakistan responded to the missile strikes by attacking military installations across its frontier with India and Indian-administered Kashmir, striking at least four facilities.
The conflict ended four days later, thanks to an internationally-brokered ceasefire.
While the exchange of aerial fire came to a halt, the diplomatic ties between the neighbours remained suspended, and the political tension spilled over into cricket as India’s players walked off the field without shaking hands with their opposition.
A few moments later, Pakistan’s players trudged off in a group and waited for the Indian squad and support staff to come out and shake hands, as is the norm at the end of cricket matches.
However, the Indian contingent only shook hands with each other before walking into their dressing room and shutting the door as the waiting Pakistan players looked on.
Shortly after the events unfolded, Pakistan’s manager Naveed Akram Cheema lodged a protest against the Indian cricket team’s actions with Andy Pycroft, who is an International Cricket Council (ICC) accredited match referee.
Pakistan alleged that Pycroft did not clearly communicate the Indian team’s decision to not partake in the handshake, an act they termed in contravention of the spirit of cricket.
Pakistan demanded Pycroft’s removal as match referee for their remaining fixtures in the tournament, but later reached an agreement with the ICC and Pycroft went on to officiate Pakistan’s last group game against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday.
The Pakistan-UAE match was delayed by an hour as officials from the ICC and Pakistan’s team management held a meeting at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium before the match.
“The ICC’s match referee, Andy Pycroft, has apologised to the manager and captain of the Pakistan cricket team,” the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.
“Andy Pycroft termed the September 14 incident a result of miscommunication.”
The PCB also said that the ICC “expressed its willingness to conduct an inquiry into the code of conduct violation that occurred during the September 14 match”, referring to Pycroft’s request to Pakistan and India captains to avoid the customary handshake at the toss, which the PCB alleges contravened the laws of the game.
However, a source within the ICC told Al Jazeera that Pycroft did not apologise to Pakistan and only clarified his position.
The source also said that the ICC had investigated the issue and concluded that it did not warrant an action against the Zimbabwean match referee.
The Zimbabwean match official will be in charge of Sunday’s India-Pakistan fixture as well.
Clairo, Grammy-nominated artist, signs with Atlantic Records
Atlantic Records has signed Grammy-nominated American indie singer-songwriter Clairo.
The signing, announced Thursday (September 18), comes as Clairo’s latest album, Charm, spent 14 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, helping the artist amass over 7.5 billion global streams.
Atlanta-born Clairo, whose real name is Claire Cottrill, previously recorded under Fader Label, which she signed with in 2017 following the success of her lo-fi track Pretty Girl.
Clairo said: “I’m so thrilled to begin this next chapter of my musical journey with Atlantic. From our first meeting, they immediately understood my vision, and it feels good to know I can continue to be as expressive and free with my ideas with a great new partner by my side.”
MBW understands that the signing was led by Atlantic Music Group Chairman and CEO Elliot Grainge, alongside Chief Operating Officer Zach Friedman, General Manager Tony Talamo, Lauren Holman (EVP, Sales & Streaming Atlantic Music Group) and Brandon Davis (EVP, Co-Head of Pop/Rock A&R at Atlantic Records).
Clairo’s manager Mike Ahern of Good Buddy Management and attorney Peter Lewit of Davis Shapiro Lewit & Grabel negotiated the deal terms, although financial details were not disclosed.
“I’m so thrilled to begin this next chapter of my musical journey with Atlantic. From our first meeting, they immediately understood my vision.”
Clairo
Clairo’s most recent album, Charm, released last year, secured her a nomination for Best Alternative Album at the 67th annual Grammy Awards.
Clairo has collaborated with producers for her three albums. She has worked with Vampire Weekend artist Rostam Batmanglij on 2019’s Immunity, Jack Antonoff on 2021’s Sling and Leon Michels of El Michels Affair on Charm.
The 27-year-old artist started self-recording songs and music videos at age 13, building an early following on YouTube before transitioning to streaming platforms.
She has since established herself as a live performer, appearing at Coachella, The Newport Folk Festival and more. She has also appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“She’s not just one of the most important songwriters of her era, she’s an artist whose work and aesthetic is truly unique.”
Elliot Grainge, Atlantic Music Group
Elliot Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Atlantic Music Group, said: “Clairo represents the rare kind of artist who reshapes the music landscape simply by being true to herself.
“She’s not just one of the most important songwriters of her era, she’s an artist whose work and aesthetic is truly unique. As a leading voice in music today, we are honored that she has chosen the Atlantic family to be part of her next chapter.”
Clairo joins other artists in Atlantic’s roster including Charli xcx, FKA twigs, Janelle Monáe, and María Zardoya of The Marías.
The announcement comes just a day after Atlantic Music announced that it has entered into a joint venture with Limosa Nostra Records, a label founded by artist, entrepreneur, and designer Ricky Hil.
Last month, Atlantic Music expanded the roles of Rayna Bass and Selim Bouab, Co-Presidents of 300 Entertainment. They have received additional appointments as joint Co-Presidents of Hip-Hop, R&B, and Global Music at Atlantic Records.
Elsewhere, Lanre Gaba transitioned into a newly created advisory position as Executive Vice President of Artist Strategy & Development at the company. Bass, Bouab, and Gaba will continue to report to AMG CEO Elliot Grainge.

British couple kidnapped by Taliban return to UK after being released
ReutersA British couple detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan for nearly eight months have arrived back in the UK after being released.
Peter Reynolds, 80, and his wife Barbie, 76, who lived in Afghanistan for nearly two decades, landed at Heathrow Airport, on a flight from Doha.
They were reunited with their daughter in Qatar on Friday. Their son Jonathan Reynolds told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that he was “ecstatic and massively grateful” to those who were involved in securing their release.
The Taliban, who detained the couple on 1 February, said the pair had broken Afghan laws and were released after judicial proceedings – but the Islamist group has never disclosed a reason for their detention.
There were emotional scenes on Friday as the couple’s daughter, Sarah Entwistle, met her parents as they stepped off the plane in Doha.
“We are looking forward to returning to Afghanistan if we can. We are Afghan citizens,” Barbie told Agence France-Presse at Kabul airport after Qatar-brokered negotiations for their release.
Their son Jonathan echoed those hopes, saying “their desire would be to carry on living there and to do the work they were doing”.
ReutersUK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer praised the “vital role” played by Qatar in securing their release.
Peter and Barbie Reynolds married in Kabul in 1970 and spent the past 18 years running a charitable training programme that had been approved by local Taliban officials when the armed group reclaimed power in 2021.
“They have not just a heart for the people of Afghanistan, but they have strategy as well, and the work they’ve been doing has been very fruitful and has a massively positive impact,” Jonathan told the BBC.
He said a few weeks ago he had managed to share the results of “really encouraging” reports about their programmes with his parents over the phone.
He said Barbie’s initial reaction had been that they had “more work to do”.
“But how do you do that in a country where you’re not welcome,” Jonathan added.
ReutersTheir affection for Afghanistan was demonstrated by their decision to remain in Bamiyan province after the authoritarian regime seized control in August 2021, while many other Westerners left.
The couple’s release follows months of public lobbying by their family, who have described the harrowing conditions of their detention.
Jonathan said in July that his father had been suffering serious convulsions and his mother was “numb” from anaemia and malnutrition.
A Qatari official told the BBC the couple were moved from Kabul’s central prison to a larger facility with better conditions during the final stage of negotiations over their release.
Taliban officials maintained they received adequate medical care during their detention and that their human rights were respected.
The couple were receiving medical checks in the Qatari capital, Doha, before leaving for London. They will arrive on a commercial flight on Saturday morning, AFP reports.
The UK does not recognise the Taliban government and closed its embassy in Kabul when the group returned to power.
The Foreign Office says support for British nationals in Afghanistan is therefore “severely limited” and advises against all travel to the country.

The stakes will be higher this time as their clash on Sunday takes place in the Super Fours stage, and the winning side will take one step closer to the final, while the losers will move further away from the tournament decider.
India will start as favourites for multiple reasons, not least their seven-wicket thrashing of Pakistan in their Group A match on September 14.
In addition to their status as the ICC’s top-ranked men’s T20 team, Suryakumar Yadav’s side are the tournament’s defending champions and the reigning T20 champions.
For Pakistan, a lot more than two points will be on the line as they will look to put aside not only the embarrassing defeat but also events that transpired following their thumping loss, as India’s players walked off the field without partaking in the customary post-match handshake.
Here’s what you need to know about the match:
What happened in the last India vs Pakistan match?
India stamped their authority on the match with the first ball, as Pakistan’s opener Saim Ayub Ayub was caught out at point off Hardik Pandya’s bowling and wicketkeeper Mohammad Haris followed suit in the next over as India’s star bowler Jasprit Bumrah struck.
It wasn’t until Shaheen Shah Afridi and leg-spin bowler Sufiyan Muqeem hit four fours and two sixes that Pakistan crossed the 100-run mark in their 19th over and finished at 128.
The target was never going to be enough for a power-packed Indian batting lineup, and opener Abhishek Sharma took the match away from Pakistan with his belligerent innings of 31 runs off 13 balls.
Yadav followed suit with 47 runs off 37 balls as India won their second match of the tournament.
India walked away with two points and walked off without shaking hands with the Pakistan team, as is the norm after every cricket match.
What happened after the match?
Yadav walked off the field alongside his batting partner, Shivam Dube, without approaching the Pakistani captain and team for the traditional post-match handshakes.
Pakistan’s players trudged off in a group and waited for the Indian squad and support staff to come out and shake hands, as is the norm at the end of cricket matches.
However, the Indian contingent only shook hands with each other before walking into their dressing room and shutting the door as the waiting Pakistan players looked on.
Why did India’s players not shake hands with the Pakistani team?
“A few things in life are above sportsman’s spirit,” India’s captain Yadav said when asked to clarify his team’s actions.
“We stand with all the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and with their families, and dedicate this win to our brave armed forces who took part in Operation Sindoor.”
Yadav was referring to the Indian armed forces’ multiple missile attacks on six locations inside Pakistan.
How did Pakistan respond?
Pakistan’s manager Naveed Akram Cheema lodged a protest against the Indian cricket team’s actions with Pycroft, who is an ICC accredited match referee.
Additionally, Pakistan captain Agha did not speak at the post-match captain’s chat with the host broadcaster, in a mark of protest.
Three days later, Pakistani officials deliberated pulling out of the tournament as a mark of protest, causing a delayed start to their match against the UAE.
Why is India ‘hosting’ the Asia Cup in the UAE?
India was slated to host the tournament as per the hosting rights schedule, and while the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) remains the official host of the tournament, it is being played in the UAE due to the recent conflict between India and Pakistan.
Why doesn’t India play bilateral cricket series against Pakistan?
The Indian government has barred its athletes and teams from competing against their Pakistani counterparts in bilateral tournaments in all sports. Indian athletes are also barred from travelling to Pakistan, forcing all India-Pakistan encounters in multination sports tournaments to be hosted at a neutral venue.
Prior to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, both countries agreed to host each other at a neutral venue during ICC events.
What’s the weather forecast for India vs Pakistan in Dubai?
The weather forecast for Sunday is hot and humid, with highs of 41 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit) and partial cloud cover.
It will get slightly cooler in the evening as the match will start just after sunset, and the temperature will drop to 31C (88F).
How many times has Pakistan won the Asia Cup?
Pakistan have lifted the trophy on two occasions – in 2000 and 2012 – and qualified for the final five times.
India are seven-time Asia Cup champions, with 11 appearances in the final.
How many times has India beaten Pakistan in the Asia Cup?
In their 20 clashes in the Asia Cup, India have beaten Pakistan 11 times and lost to their neighbours on six occasions. Three matches, including the group-stage match in 2023, were abandoned due to poor weather.
When was the last time Pakistan beat India?
Pakistan’s last Asia Cup win over India came in the 2022 edition in the UAE. Mohammad Rizwan top-scored with 71 runs in the Super Four clash, but it was Mohammad Nawaz’s 20-ball-41 that took Pakistan over the line in the run chase.
India vs Pakistan: Head-to-head in T20Is
Since the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in 2007, the countries have met in 14 T20Is. India has won 11 times, including the first match in 2007, which was tied and then decided in a Super Over.
Two of Pakistan’s three wins came in Dubai.
Players to watch: India
- Abhishek Sharma: The fact that the young top-order batter has managed to carve a spot in a highly competitive T20 Indian batting lineup is enough to mark Sharma as one to watch in the Asia Cup. The 24-year-old boasts the highest career strike rate of 198 among all batters in T20s and backs it up with two centuries and half-centuries in the format.
- Varun Chakaravarthy: The 34-year-old leg-spin bowler’s second foray into the Indian side has reaped him big rewards as he has taken 35 wickets in 20 T20I matches.
Players to watch: Pakistan
- Hasan Nawaz: Pakistan have often been criticised for their batters’ inability to match modern-day T20 batting strike rates, but in Nawaz, they seem to have found a solution to this problem. The 23-year-old has a strike rate of 174, with a T20 hundred and two fifties in his 16 matches.
- Sufiyan Muqeem: The left-arm wrist spinner has taken 27 wickets in his 19 T20Is since making his debut less than two years ago and has become a mainstay of the bowling lineup in limited-overs cricket.
Form guide: India
India are unbeaten in the Asia Cup and have not lost a T20 series since winning the World Cup in June 2024.
Last five results (most recent first): W-W-W-W-W
Form guide: Pakistan
Pakistan’s form in T20s has been mixed of late and but they head into the marquee clash with a series win in the bag.

Ilya Kharun Impresses with 19.84 Flat Start 50 Fly at ASU Intrasquad Meet
By Anya Pelshaw on SwimSwam
Arizona State: USA vs International Intrasquad
- September 19, 2025
- SCY (25 yards)
- PDF Results
- Scores:
- Combined: USA 169.5 – International 156.5
- Men: International 82 – USA 81
- Women: USA 88.5 – International 74.5
Just a week after posting a 44.15 in the 100 butterfly, Ilya Kharun posted another eye popping butterfly swim in Tempe. This time, Kharun swam to a 19.84 in the 50 butterfly, off a flat start.
Kharun holds the top 50 fly flying start split of all-time after posting a 18.78 at 2025 NCAAs. He also posted a 18.89 at midseason last November which is the #2 relay split ever.
In addition to his 50 fly, Kharun also anchored the International’s 200 free relay in a 18.39. That is the same split he swam in the 200 free relay at 2025 NCAAs, except he led off the relay from a flat start back in March. The relay of Tolu Young, Remi Fabiani, Tommy Palmer, and Kharun combined for a final time of a 1:15.97. That time would have been 17th at 2025 NCAAs, just off of scoring and does not even take Jonny Kulow‘s 19.13 split from the American relay today in consideration.
If Palmer, who split a 19.48, would have switched out with Kulow who split a 19.13, the relay would have been a 1:15.62, a time that would have been 13th at 2025 NCAAs. Arizona State was 2nd in the event at 2025 NCAAs.
Kharun’s other swim today was swimming on the International 400 medley relay. He split a 43.92 on the butterfly leg, but the relay was disqualified. The US relay consisting of Adam Chaney, Andy Dobrzanski, Jordan Tiffany, and Kulow won in a 3:05.16, with Kulow splitting a 41.18.
NC State transfer JT Ewing posted a lifetime best in the men’s 200 IM en route to a win. He touched in a 1:45.87, faster than his previous lifetime best of a 1:46.80 from February 2024 which was his last time swimming the event. Ewing swam the 100 back and 200 back at 2025 NCAAs
Filip Senc-Samardzic won the men’s 200 free in a 1:35.41, which is just off his lifetime best of a 1:35.21 that he swam at a dual meet against Arizona in February.
The women’s side was highlighted by Miriam Sheehan as she split a 52.35 on the lead off led for the US women’s 400 medley relay. Sheehan, also an NC State transfer, has a lifetime best 51.99 in the event from January 2023. Her season best last year was a 52.60 from October. Sheehan also won the 50 back today in a 24.38, just off her lifetime best 23.92 that she swam leading off the team’s 200 medley relay that finished 8th at 2025 NCAAs.
Sheehan was one of two records set last week on the women’s side at the ASU pentathlon as Julia Ullmann swam to a 52.28 last week in the 100 fly. This week, Ullmann posted a 51.72 on the fly leg as the International relay of Gerda Szilagyi, Lucie Vasquez, Ullmann, and Shane Golland swam to a 3:35.74. Ullmann won the 50 fly today in a 23.74 to win by over a second.
