Juventus held to scoreless home draw in Turin derby
Juventus largely dominated but were unable to get the better of neighbours Torino in a 0-0 home draw on Saturday, dealing a blow to Luciano Spalletti's side's hopes of gaining ground in the Serie A title race, Reuters reported.
The hosts had won their last two Serie A games since sacking manager Igor Tudor, one of those victories coming in Spalletti's first game in charge, but a largely toothless derby display left the crowd frustrated.
Juve are fifth in the standings on 19 points from 11 games, two points behind Inter Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma, who all have a match in hand, with leaders Napoli on 22 points ahead of Sunday's game at Bologna. Torino are in 11th place on 14 points, according to Reuters.

Red-hot Rybakina scorches Sabalenka for maiden WTA Finals crown
Elena Rybakina capped a flawless week at the WTA Finals by stunning world number one Aryna Sabalenka 6-3 7-6(0) in the final on Saturday for her first trophy in the season-ending championships and a record $5.235 million in prize money, Reuters reported.
The last stop of this season's WTA Tour kicked off with four different Grand Slam champions in the field, but ultimately went to a player who did not even reach the quarter-finals of a major in 2025 and was the last to qualify with a win in Ningbo and a run to the Tokyo semi-finals.
Rybakina earned 1,500 points - her biggest haul - after she was denied any for her 2022 Wimbledon win when the ATP and WTA penalised the major for banning Russian and Belarusian players from playing in the wake of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, according to Reuters.
US Supreme Court lets Trump withhold $4 billion in food aid funding for now
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump'sadministration to withhold for now about $4 billion needed to fully fund a food aid program for 42 million low-income Americans this month amid the federal government shutdown, Reuters reported.
The court's order,, opens new tab known as an administrative stay, gives a lower court additional time to consider the administration's formal request to only partially fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP or food stamps, for November. The administration had faced a judge-ordered Friday deadline to fully fund the program.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who issued the stay, set it to expire two days after the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules on the administration's request to halt a judge's order that the U.S. Department of Agriculture promptly pay the full amount of this month's SNAP benefits, which cost $8.5 billion to $9 billion per month, according to Reuters.
