Ivan Toney: Saudi Pro League On Par With Premier League

England striker Ivan Toney has claimed that the Saudi Pro League (SPL) is now on the same level as the English Premier League (EPL), insisting that his club Al-Ahli would challenge for a top-four finish if competing in England. Toney, who joined Al-Ahli from Brentford in the summer of 2024, has already lifted two titles in his debut season in Saudi Arabia, scoring 23 league goals in 30 appearances, just two shy of Cristiano Ronaldo’s tally. Speaking to The Guardian (via Goal.com), Toney backed Ronaldo’s earlier claims about the strength of the Saudi competition. “For me, [the Pro League] is on a par with the Premier League. If Al-Ahli were in the Premier League, we’d be close to the top four. It’s a quality league and people should not turn their noses up. We saw Al-Hilal beat Man City [at […]

Starmer sacks UK ambassador to US Peter Mandelson over Epstein links

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has dismissed Britain’s ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson, after new revelations about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Foreign Office confirmed on Thursday, September 11, 2025, that Mandelson was withdrawn from his post following the emergence of emails showing he defended Epstein during his 2008 conviction. “The emails show that the depth and extent of Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is materially different from that known at the time of his appointment,” the statement said. In the exchanges, published by The Sun and Bloomberg, Mandelson urged Epstein to “fight for early release”, telling him he was “following you closely and here whenever you need.” He also suggested Epstein’s conviction was wrongful and should be challenged. One email read: “I think the world of you.” It was sent the day before Epstein […]

Mexico considers 50% tariff on Chinese cars amid US pressure

Mexico is weighing a 50% tariff on car imports from China, up from the current 15–20%, under a bill submitted to Congress as pressure mounts from the United States. The proposal, unveiled Wednesday by the economy ministry, is designed to address U.S. President Donald Trump’s concerns that Chinese automakers are using Mexico as a back door to enter the U.S. market tariff-free under the USMCA trade pact. Washington has repeatedly warned that Chinese producers are exploiting loopholes in the trilateral deal with the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Beijing pushed back on Thursday, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian saying China “firmly opposes any coercion”, while stressing its hope for continued positive ties with Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has also voiced concern about the influx of Chinese imports, arguing they are undermining domestic manufacturing. The bill outlines protection for […]

Ghana accepts Nigerians, other West Africans deported from US

Ghana has begun receiving West African nationals deported from the United States, including Nigerians, President John Dramani Mahama announced on Wednesday. According to Reuters, Mahama confirmed that a first batch of 14 deportees — comprising Nigerians, a Gambian, and other West Africans — had already landed in Accra, with Ghanaian authorities assisting in their repatriation to their respective countries. “We were approached by the US to accept third-party nationals who were being removed from the US, and we agreed with them that West African nationals were acceptable because all our fellow West Africans don’t need a visa to come to our country,” Mahama explained. He added that the arrangement was logical since ECOWAS citizens already enjoy visa-free access to Ghana. The development comes amid Washington’s intensified deportation drive under President Donald Trump, who has expanded removals to “third countries” as […]
