After a disastrous 2-7 start, could Las Vegas’ Antonio Pierce be the next one-and-done head coach? According to Charles McDonald of Yahoo Sports, since 2018, seven coaches have been fired before the end of their first season. Carolina’s Frank Reich was the last after he went 1-10 in 11 games in 2023. The Raiders fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy on Sunday night, which isn’t a great sign. In his Monday column, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported there’s “pessimism in that building on the direction of that team right now.””Part of the issue to this point, as I’ve heard it, is the way…

Niger’s military junta is contesting French nuclear firm Orano’s decision to halt uranium production, calling it non-transparent and claiming it violated governance principles. Orano, which has operated in Niger for decades, announced last month that it would cease production as of Thursday, October 31. The firm attributed the shutdown to operational difficulties and financial concerns in the West African country. It also lamented the junta’s withdrawal of a major mining permit in June and closed borders that restricted uranium export.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump made their final pitches to voters Monday in the same part of Pennsylvania, at roughly the same time, spending the last full day of the presidential campaign in a state that could make or break their chances. Focusing on Pennsylvania’s southeast corner, Trump took the stage in Reading, about 30 miles from Allentown, where Harris held her own event about half an hour later. “If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole ball of wax,” Trump said. “It’s over.” Indeed, a Trump victory in Pennsylvania, flipping its 19 Electoral College votes, would puncture the Democrats’…

The denial followed a legal appeal by human rights lawyers in Berlin aimed at halting the shipment of 150 metric tons of explosives aboard the MV Kathrin, reportedly destined for Israel’s defense contractor, Elbit Systems.
