Aston Villa secure first Europa League win, Rangers suffer fresh setback

Aston Villa finally found relief from their poor start to the season with a 1-0 victory over Bologna to launch their Europa League campaign on Thursday, while Rangers boss Russell Martin came under growing pressure after a damaging home defeat to Genk. Despite going winless in their first five Premier League fixtures, Villa were tipped among the Europa League favourites, thanks to their strong European run last season and manager Unai Emery’s pedigree as a four-time winner of the competition. Villa captain John McGinn struck in the 13th minute, drilling a low shot into the corner to secure all three points against the Coppa Italia holders. However, doubts around the squad’s form persist. Ollie Watkins, still without a goal this season, missed a penalty after coming off the bench, his weak effort easily saved by goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski. Bologna came […]

Trump: I won’t allow Israel to annex West Bank

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would not permit Israel to annex the West Bank, pushing back against threats from Israeli cabinet members to block the possibility of a two-state solution. “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “No, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen.” The president’s remarks followed questions on whether he had given such assurances to Arab leaders during meetings at the United Nations this week. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, while far-right members of his cabinet have suggested annexing the West Bank in response to recent moves by Western nations to formally recognize Palestine. When asked if he had warned Netanyahu directly, Trump replied:“Yeah, but I’m not going to allow it. […]

US deports Liberia ex-rebel commander ‘Black Diamond’

The United States has deported Mayama Sesay, a former Liberian rebel commander widely known by the alias “Black Diamond”, for her role in recruiting and leading child soldiers during Liberia’s second civil war. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Sesay, 43, was expelled in September after years of legal battles over her immigration status. According to ICE, Sesay entered the US on a visitor’s visa in 2014 and sought permanent residency the following year after marrying a US citizen. However, she was taken into custody in April 2025 by ICE officers in Atlanta following an immigration judge’s ruling that she lacked credibility and had indeed recruited child soldiers. “Sesay, infamously known as the rebel commander ‘Black Diamond,’ played a prominent role in recruiting and leading child soldiers during Liberia’s civil wars,” ICE said in a statement.“She commanded an […]

JUST IN: Dangote Refinery denies mass sack, says workforce shake-up targets sabotage

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has confirmed a sweeping reorganisation of its operations and workforce, but denied reports of a mass sack of workers. In a letter dated September 24, 2025, signed by Chief General Manager of Human Asset Management Femi Adekunle, the refinery said the move was triggered by “many recent cases of reported sabotage in different units of the Petroleum Refinery leading to major safety concerns.” The 650,000 barrels per day facility, which began production in 2024, directed affected staff to hand over company property to their line managers and await clearance for entitlements to be computed by the Finance Department.
