By AAMER MADHANI WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says Russia is a U. S. adversary but suggests it’s counterproductive to approach Moscow as an enemy. The Ohio senator also said Donald Trump is committed to NATO, the transatlantic military alliance seen as the bulwark preventing further Russian aggression in Europe, although the former president has pledged to “finish the process we began under my administration of fundamentally reevaluating NATO’s purpose and NATO’s mission.” Vance, in a series of television interviews that aired Sunday, nine days before the election, made clear that Trump, if back in the White House, would press European members to spend more on defense and that their administration would work to quickly wind down Moscow’s war in Ukraine that began in February 2022 when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops across the border. “We’re not in a war with him, and I don’t want to be in a war with Vladimir Putin’s Russia,” Vance said when pressed during an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” on whether Russia is an enemy.

8212; President Joe Biden on Sunday marked the sixth anniversary of a gunman’s deadly attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue and called out what he called an “appalling surge of antisemitism” amid the war in Gaza.

As the Miami Heat work to find their proper pace at the start of this season, Saturday night’s 114-106 road victory over the Charlotte Hornets offered insight into the reality that it is not a case of one speed fits all. For forward Jimmy Butler, it was a matter of slowing down, especially when the result of what turned into the Heat’s first victory was in the balance. For guard Tyler Herro, it was a decision to remain at speed, his energy helping to push the Heat over the top three nights after the entire team appeared out of sorts in the season-opening 116-97 loss to the Orlando Magic at Kaseya Center. Saturday, Butler not only led the way with 26 points, but helped put it away. The key to Butler’s effort were 13 fourth-quarter points, his overall effort fueled by 17 attempts from the line. “That’s such a great lesson for all the players in this league,” coach Erik Spoelstra said, “but especially our guys, our young guys — efficiency, you can stem the tide of a run on the road by getting to the free-throw line.

When UCF began the 2024 football season, the Knights had what they figured was a rock-solid quarterback option. The moment KJ Jefferson arrived on campus via the transfer market, it was a given the fifth-year senior would be the starting quarterback. Yet five games into the season, Jefferson was benched, clearing the way for true freshman EJ Colson. Colson’s tenure lasted five snaps before backup Jacurri Brown earned the right to start the next two games. Now mired in a five-game losing streak and with Brown struggling, it appears that UCF may be looking at a fourth option: redshirt freshman Dylan Rizk. Rizk saw his first legitimate action of the season in the fourth quarter of the Knights’ 37-24 loss to BYU on Saturday. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder entered the game with 10:43 left and provided an instant spark, completing back-to-back passes for 44 yards, setting up an RJ Harvey touchdown run that cut the score to 34-18. After 5th straight loss, UCF fans getting fed up with Gus Malzahn | Commentary On his second possession, Rizk drove the Knights 89 yards on 12 plays in under 3 minutes, connecting 4 of his 8 passing attempts for 58 yards, capped  by a 29-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jacoby Jones. It was just the second passing touchdown by a Knights quarterback in the last four games. Rizk also finished with 31 yards on 4 carries. “Dylan seized the moment and did a good job and gave us some life and led us to two touchdowns,” coach Gus Malzahn said. Malzahn wasn’t ready to commit to Brown as the starter for this weekend’s showdown with Arizona (3:30 p.m., FS1). “We’re going to watch the film and figure out whoever gives us the best chance at every position,”  Malzahn said.
