Casper Ruud said he felt he was almost "walking around like a zombie" at times as he struggled in extreme heat during his first-round win over Roman Safiullin at the French Open. Temperatures were said to have reached 33C on the first two days of the tournament in Paris, causing uncomfortable conditions for some. Norwegian Ruud spurned five match points in the third set against Safiullin, by which time he said he had already started to feel cramping in his legs. He later had medical timeouts and used ice towels and water to try to cool himself during changes of ends. From 5-2 down in the third set, Russian qualifier Safiullin won 11 consecutive games to force a decider - but he also had injury problems which required treatment towards the end of the fourth set. Both players left the court for an extended period before the fifth set, after which 15th seed Ruud eventually completed a 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 0-6 6-2 victory. The contest lasted three hours and 56 minutes on Court Simonne-Mathieu.

Democrats Using Black Athletes As Pawns In Redistricting War The Congressional Black Caucus, aligned with the NAACP, is urging black college athletes to avoid Southeastern Conference schools in Southern states as a form of economic pressure against Republican-drawn redistricting maps that eliminate majority-black congressional districts. The campaign is called "Out of Bounds,” and is essentially asking young black athletes to forfeit their best shot at a professional sports career so Democratic lawmakers can make a political statement about redistricting. NAACP calls for black athletes to boycott college sports in south “Across the South, Black athletes have helped build some of the most profitable college athletic programs in America, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue,” the NAACP argues on its “ Out of Bounds” campaign website . “ At the same time, several southern state governments are moving to limit, reduce, weaken, or erase Black voting representation by creating new, unconstitutional voting districts .” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries framed the redistricting fights as "an unprecedented attack on black political representation,” demanding "an unprecedented response." That response, apparently, involves steering eighteen-year-old football recruits away from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and Texas A&M - programs that collectively represent the most direct pipeline to the NFL in American sports. Jeffries said black lawmakers are "standing in solidarity with NAACP in its call for athletes to boycott institutions within the SEC that belong to states that have unleashed these Jim Crow-like racially oppressive tactics, which is unacceptable, unconscionable and un-American,” he continued. “And we believe that the silence of these institutions is complicity, and we will not stand for it.” For a talented black athlete from anywhere in the country, an SEC scholarship is frequently the fastest and most visible route to ...

Two groups submitted bids to become the strategic investor in Copasa, advancing the Minas Gerais state government’s plan to privatize one of Brazil’s largest water and sewage utilities, according to people familiar to the matter. One of the groups is formed by Itausa SA, Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC, Equipav Saneamento SA and Aegea Saneamentos, one of the people said, asking not to be identified discussing information that isn’t public. Aegea has a smaller stake in the group, known as Livorno, to avoid increasing its debt load, Bloomberg reported earlier. Itausa and Aegea confirmed in statements that they were part of the bidding. The other group is led by Equatorial Energia SA, said another person. The company had wavered on whether to participate after its partner, Cia. de Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo, backed out of the process, Bloomberg reported earlier. Equatorial didn’t respond to a message seeking comment. The transaction, which would rank among Brazil’s biggest deals this year, is expected to be followed by a secondary public share offering that will reduce the state’s control of Copasa. The Aegea group’s structure is similar to the model used in the 2021 privatization of Cedae, Rio de Janeiro’s sanitation company, when a consortium led by the same shareholders secured a majority stake in the concession. The strategic investor will be able to buy 30% of Copasa before the public offering, with the possibility of buying more shares in the market during the offering, up to a maximum of 45% of voting rights, according to the filing. Infrastructure fund Perfin recently increased its stake in Copasa to about 15% and is also in talks to play an active role in the company after the privatization, according to people familiar with the matter. The fund intends to acquire more shares during the follow-on process, the people said, meaning Copasa could end with two large shareholders. Once the strategic investor is identified through the auction, Copas...

Oil held a drop on signs that negotiations to extend a US-Iranian ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz were making progress. West Texas Intermediate traded near $91 a barrel, after dropping sharply in the week’s opening session, while Brent closed near $96. Negotiations were “proceeding nicely,” President Donald Trump posted on Monday, while also threatening fresh attacks if they were unsuccessful. Pakistan’s military chief, the main interlocutor, told China an agreement was close. Still, signs of hostilities remained. Loud explosions were heard around the Strait of Hormuz, near the Iranian coastal cities of Sirik and Jask, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported. American and Israeli warplanes had targeted several Iranian vessels south of Larak Island, state-run Nour News reported. Crude prices have been boosted by the crisis, which is now into its third month. The Strait of Hormuz — the critical waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas flows during peacetime — remains essentially closed, subject to a double blockade by US and Iran. In a separate post, Trump said Tehran’s enriched uranium would preferably be destroyed in Iran. To get Bloomberg’s Energy Daily newsletter in your inbox, click here . WTI for July delivery traded at $91.18 at 6:03 a.m. in Singapore, almost 6% lower than Friday’s close. There was no settlement on Monday due to a US holiday. Brent for July settlement closed 7.2% lower at $96.15 a barrel on Monday.

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange during morning trading on April 17, 2026 in New York City. Michael M. Santiago | Getty Images Stock futures jumped on Monday night as oil prices slid and hope grew that a resolution to the U.S.-Iran war was within reach. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures popped 440 points, or 0.9%. S&P 500 futures gained 0.9%, and Nasdaq-100 futures advanced 1.3%. U.S. stock markets were closed Monday due to the Memorial Day holiday. President Donald Trump said Monday that talks with Iran to end the war were "proceeding nicely." That said, he did warn the U.S. could go on the offensive if negotiations break down. Crude prices dropped sharply following Trump's comments. West Texas Intermediate futures were down around 6%. The S&P 500 climbed 0.9% last week to notch its longest weekly winning streak since late 2023. The Dow climbed 2.1%, marking its third weekly gain in four weeks. The Nasdaq rose 0.5% last week, its seventh in eight weeks. "There is no doubt that fundamentals are at least partially responsible for the market rally," wrote Adam Parker, founder of Trivariate Research. "With earnings projected to grow 23% this year, and 16% next year, there's a credible argument to make that despite the increasing projections for earnings, and strong earnings growth, the price-to-forward earnings has been modestly contracting." A decline in oil prices also boosted equities last week. U.S. crude lost 8.4%, marking its worst week since April 17. However, with crude still trading well above the levels seen earlier in the year – and price pressures remaining elevated – investor expectations for easier Federal Reserve policy have been tempered. In fact, traders are pricing in an 8.5% chance of a rate hike in July, up from 0.9% a month ago, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool . 2 Min Ago Stock futures jump at the open Dow Jones Industrial Average futures popped 440 points, or 0.9%.

China is rapidly advancing an “AI Plus” revolution in electronic warfare to redefine how militaries communicate, jam and dominate the electromagnetic spectrum, according to industrial experts. In a paper published last month, they argued that by fusing artificial intelligence (AI) with the very physics of radio wave propagation, China could win a “new form of war” where communications and radars are faster, smarter and far more resilient than anything fielded today. Their findings were published in the Chinese journal Command Control and Simulation on April 29. Advertisement The team is led by senior engineer Li Fukai with the China Academy of Electronics and Information Technology and the National Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation, top-tier defence research and development institutes directly involved in national strategic programmes. For decades, electronic warfare has been about jamming , spoofing and intercepting signals. But in an era where drones swarm and hypersonic missiles dictate the action, traditional methods are struggling to cope with the chaos of dynamic, unpredictable signal environments. Advertisement

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Nearly four years after the last version of Sennheiser’s Momentum headphones debuted with a redesign that traded a retro aesthetic for a more contemporary and comfortable design, the company has announced its Momentum 5 Wireless headphones. They look very similar to their predecessors, the Momentum 4, with large ear cups and a design that doesn’t quite stand out from the competition. But under the hood there are welcome upgrades, including improved ANC and, for the first time, a user-replaceable battery to extend their life. The Momentum 5 Wireless will be available starting on June 30th for $399.99, a $50 price bump over the Momentum 4. The headphones feature the same 42mm drivers as the Momentum 3 and 4 models, but Sennheiser is introducing “Hi-Res Audio certification” and expanding the Momentum 5’s Bluetooth codec support to include AptX Lossless. That allows the headphones to stream 16-bit/44.1kHz CD-quality sound, but only from devices with a Qualcomm processor supporting that codec through the Snapdragon Sound platform. Smartphones from Sony and Motorola should be compatible, however Samsung, Google, and Apple devices won’t be. The Momentum 5 Wireless will be available in black, white, and denim (blue) color options. Image: Sennheiser Sennheiser has also doubled the number of microphones on the Momentum 5, which now feature four on each side to improve noise cancellation. The company claims its latest headphones are up to three times more effective at reducing the sound of voice chatter and the drone experienced in airplane cabins. The upgraded ANC and added mics also help improve call quality, both when it comes to picking up your voice and ensuring you can hear the person you’re talking to. The Momentum 5’s battery life lasts up to 57 hours. It’s a small hit from the Momentum 4’s 60 hours, but still nearly dou...

The US Justice Department has again asked a federal judge to lift an injunction holding up progress on President Donald Trump’s ballroom project, saying Saturday’s shooting outside the White House showed an urgent need for improved security. The Justice Department, in a five-page court filing on Sunday, said the incident underscores the critical need for “top level, state of the art security at the White House, including the ballroom”, adding that it was vital for national security. It also asks for the lawsuit challenging the project to be dismissed. The court filing stated: “This is a terrible, tremendously harmful case to the United States of America, and all it stands for!” Advertisement US District Judge Richard Leon, an appointee of former president George W. Bush sitting in Washington, ruled in April that Trump lacked legal authority to build the ballroom without congressional approval. Leon issued an injunction that halted “above-ground construction of the planned ballroom”, but his order was quickly put on hold by an appeal court. Construction has continued. Advertisement The Justice Department had previously asked Leon to dissolve his injunction and throw out the lawsuit over the ballroom after a foiled attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in April. Leon has not acted on that request.
