Antony scores as Man Utd end Arsenal’s winning run
Manchester United's £82m new boy Antony scored on his debut and Marcus Rashford got two as Erik ten Hag's men ended Arsenal's 100% start to the season at Old Trafford, BBC reported.
The Brazilian opened the scoring 10 minutes before half-time in the pulsating duel, sweeping a shot into the far corner.
Rashford claimed the assist for that and then, after Bukayo Saka had levelled on the hour, the England striker profited from two clinical United counter-attacks.
Bruno Fernandes was at the heart of both, splitting the Arsenal defence for Rashford's first, then sending Christian Eriksen clear as the Dane provided the striker with a tap-in.
It was Rashford's first Premier League double since December 2020, helping lift them to fifth in the table.
Arsenal remain top. However, after their excellent start to the season, manager Mikel Arteta will be concerned at how easily his side were opened up, although the Gunners did have a first-half Gabriel Martinelli goal ruled out by VAR.
"The game was there for the taking," Artesta said. "We haven't won it because we lacked some discipline in some moments and we weren't ruthless enough in front of goal, according to BBC.
"If we play with more courage we win the game. It is a big lesson - if you want to win here you have to do everything so right."
Germany announces €65bn package to curb soaring energy costs
Germany has announced a €65bn (£56.2bn) package of measures to ease the threat of rising energy costs, as Europe struggles with scarce supplies after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, BBC reported.
The package, much bigger than two previous ones, will include one-off payments to the most vulnerable and tax breaks to energy-intensive businesses.
Energy prices have soared since the February invasion, and Europe is trying to wean itself off Russian energy.
Ukraine has urged Europe to stand firm.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia was trying to destroy the normal life of every European citizen. In his nightly address on Saturday, he said Russia was preparing a "decisive energy attack on all Europeans", and only unity among European countries would offer protection.
And in a BBC interview broadcast on Sunday, his wife Olena said that if support for Ukraine was strong the crisis would be shorter. She reminded Britons that while rising living costs were tough, Ukrainians were paying with their lives.
According to website Politico, European Union officials have warned there is likely to be a crunch point in the coming months when countries start to feel acute economic pain while also still being asked to help the Ukrainian military and humanitarian effort.
Meanwhile, several hundred protesters gathered at Lubmin in north-eastern Germany, the terminal of the Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russia, according to BBC.
They were calling for the commissioning of Nord Stream 2, a new pipeline which was about to go online but was blocked by the German government after the invasion.
Two days ago, Russia said it was suspending gas exports to Germany through the already operating Nord Stream 1 pipeline indefinitely.
The stand-off with Russia has forced countries like Germany to find supplies elsewhere, and its stores have increased from less than half full in June to 84% full today.
He said the government would make one-off payments to pensioners, people on benefits and students. There would also be caps on energy bills.
Some 9,000 energy-intensive businesses would receive tax breaks to the tune of €1.7bn.
A windfall tax on energy company profits would also be used to mitigate bills, Mr Scholz said, BBC reported.
Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak to be announced as UK's next PM
Boris Johnson's successor as UK prime minister will be revealed later when either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak is named next Conservative leader, BBC reported.
The winner of the leadership contest will be announced at 12:30 BST, before then taking office on Tuesday after formal appointment by the Queen.
The new PM will inherit a flagging economy, with inflation at a 40-year high.
They are also under pressure to cushion the blow of soaring energy costs.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, tipped by pollsters to win, has promised to announce further help to shield consumers within a week of taking over.
She then plans to deliver £30bn in tax cuts through an emergency Budget later this month, arguing the UK's tax burden is behind sluggish growth.
Ms Truss is yet to offer details of her cost-of-living support plan beyond saying she will temporarily scrap green levies on energy bills and reverse the rise in National Insurance introduced during Mr Johnson's tenure.
Mr Sunak announced payments of £15bn as chancellor, including £400 payments for all households, but both contenders have said further support will be required after cost predictions rose further over the summer.
On Sunday the foreign secretary declined to say whether further help would be universal or targeted at the most needy, saying she would need time in office to iron out the details of her plan, according to BBC.
She admitted unpicking the National Insurance rise would benefit higher earners more, but said it was justified because it would boost the economy overall.
Speaking to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, she blamed a focus on distributing wealth through taxes for low economic growth over the past two decades.
Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the SNP have all called on the government to freeze energy prices through multi-billion pound subsidies, while the Greens have suggested nationalising the UK's five biggest suppliers.
Ms Truss did not rule out a freeze on Sunday but has previously described the idea as a "sticking plaster" and argues more needs to be done to help the UK boost its domestic sources of energy.
She said any further support would have to go "hand in hand" with efforts to boost nuclear energy, fracking for shale gas and more oil and gas drilling in the North Sea.
As well as tax cuts, Ms Truss has pledged to deliver low-regulation investment zones and bring about the biggest increase in defence spending in decades.
She abandoned a plan to link public sector pay to local living costs, however, after a backlash from unions, Labour and some Tories.
The seven-week leadership contest brings to an end Mr Johnson's turbulent three years in office, and has seen the candidates regularly attack each other's policies as well as the Tories' record in government.
The original field of 11 contenders was whittled down to two in a series of Tory MP ballots, with the final pair going into a run-off to be decided by the membership, which stands at about 160,000.
Although Mr Sunak had the most support among Tory MPs, he has trailed Ms Truss in opinion polls of the party grassroots.
Mr Johnson is expected to deliver a farewell speech upon leaving office on Tuesday, before the handover of power takes place.
In a break with tradition, the next Tory leader will travel to Balmoral Castle in Scotland to be appointed by the Queen, rather than at Buckingham Palace.
The Queen has been suffering from mobility issues and it is understood the change announced last week was made to prevent the need for any last-minute rearrangements, according to BBC.
Canada rocked by multiple deadly stabbings in Saskatchewan
At least 10 people have been killed and another 15 injured in a stabbing rampage in Canada's central Saskatchewan province, police say, BBC reported.
The victims were found in 13 locations in the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby village of Weldon.
Two suspects named as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, are on the run and considered armed and dangerous.
Residents have been told to shelter in place, as a massive manhunt continues across the entire vast province.
"Do not leave a secure location. Use caution allowing others into your residence," Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) tweeted.
Checkpoints have been set up, with police checking travellers' identification, and drivers have been urged not to pick up hitchhikers.
A state of emergency has been declared in the James Smith Cree Nation - an indigenous community with about 2,000 residents north-east of Weldon, where about 200 people live.
And a dangerous person alert was sent to all mobile phones across the provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta - a huge region almost half the size of Europe.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the attack on Twitter as "horrific and heartbreaking".
"I am shocked and devastated by the horrific attacks today," he said in a separate statement. "Those responsible for today's abhorrent attacks must be fully brought to justice."
At a news briefing on Sunday evening, police said there could be more injured people who had taken themselves to hospital, urging them to contact authorities, according to BBC.
Rhonda Blackmore, Commanding Officer for Saskatchewan RCMP said that some people may have been targeted by the two suspects, while others are believed to have been "attacked randomly".
The first emergency call was made to police at 05:40 local time on Sunday (11:40 GMT) in the provincial capital Regina, about 280km (173 miles) south of Weldon, she explained.
This was quickly followed by many more calls for help, developing into a "rapidly unfolding event".
The suspects were last seen by members of the public in Regina at about lunchtime on Sunday.
"The suspects may be in a black Nissan Rogue [vehicle]," Ms Blackmore said, warning anyone who sees the men to stay away.
"They are considered armed and dangerous... If you see the suspects or their vehicle, do not approach them, immediately leave the area and call 911."
She said the suspects' "location and direction of travel is unknown", adding: "This is why we need everyone in the province to stay vigilant."
