Mexico’s government says a Canadian tourist has been killed and six other people were wounded.

Mexico City — A man with a gun opened fire on the historic Teotihuacan pyramids on Monday, killing a Canadian tourist and wounding six other people at the tourist site an hour north of the Mexican capital, the Mexican government said.
The attacker later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Mexican authorities wrote in a statement. Officials said the injured were being given medical aid.
The local government reported that gunfire injured four people, while falls caused injuries to two others. The local government said the injured included Colombian, Russian and Canadian tourists.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum took to social media to announce the investigation into the shooting and her communication with the Canadian Embassy.
“We are deeply saddened by what happened today in Teotihuacan. I express my deep solidarity with the affected individuals and their families,” she wrote.
Manchester United’s top brass have been warned they will not be able to show their faces in public.
If they hold on to Michael Carrick for the permanent Old Trafford job – and the club fails under his successor. Deming’s prediction is based on the belief of former United striker Michael Owen, who asserts that Carrick is a strong contender for the Old Trafford hotseat and that it would be “ridiculous” for the club to consider any other candidate.
Carrick took charge of United on an interim basis after Ruben Amoram was sacked in January. The 44-year-old has taken charge of 12 Premier League matches, winning eight, drawing two and losing two. United is currently third in the table after beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night.
His average of 2.16 points per game equates to 82 points in a full campaign. Naturally, Carrick is the hot favourite to become United’s head coach next season.
Former England striker Owen believes Carrick will be offered the job on a permanent basis, despite United being linked with PSG boss Luis Enrique and Real Madrid hero Zinedine Zidane.
Owen, who now represents Casino.org, a leading platform helping players find UK casino brands, exclusively told Male, “I will give. [Carrick] Work, 100%. Manchester United has been weak for years, like a dozen years now.

“It’s been really painful for Manchester United fans, I’m sure. All of a sudden, Michael Carrick has come in and he’s done really, really well and won a lot of games, and actually, if you started the league when Michael Carrick took over, Manchester United are top of the league.
“Why on earth wouldn’t you? [offer him the job]? What’s going through someone’s head if you want to change it? If he’s been brilliant for that long, and it’s just a transitional thing, and you’re confident enough that any manager comes in, that’s fantastic.
“Mind some of the great managers; they’ve been through everything, ex-players, legendary managers, serial winners, you know, they’ve been through the whole thing, the whole shebang, and nothing has worked. And now suddenly they’ve got something that’s working; they’re getting better. Why on earth would they change now?
“Imagine if they said, ‘Well, thanks for your work, Michael. Now we’ll go with someone else.’ And it’s back to the c*nt that Manchester United fans have been watching for the last 10, 12 years. You will not be able to leave your house. Whoever made this decision will not be able to.
“It would be the most ridiculous decision ever. I simply cannot comprehend why. What’s the worst that could happen? Michael Carrick could start next season, lose 10 games in a row, and you could say, ‘OK, OK.’ It’s the honeymoon period. It’s not working.’

“Well, that’s the worst that can happen. But the best that can happen is they continue the way things are going. And, as I say, they’re top of the league; if they keep it up for 20 more games, they win the league.
“It’s like, Man United, about six months ago, was a million miles away from that. A million miles. Now, I’m not saying Man United are going to win the league, but I tell you, if they keep doing what they’re doing now, they could find themselves in contention.”
Carrick is currently in his second spell as caretaker United boss after briefly taking charge in November 2021 following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Owen believes that the former United midfielder has saved the club from a period of obscurity, even preventing them from facing relegation issues with Tottenham Hotspur this season.
“He could have been another Tottenham,” he added. So, why on earth would there be any question that Michael Carrick wouldn’t get the job? It makes me wonder why there’s a debate. I don’t understand why even former players are against it. I don’t think it’s wise.”
This scenario is exactly the same situation as former Red Bull strategy chief Will Courtenay, who is now McLaren’s sporting director.
At the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix it emerged that Courtenay had signed to join McLaren when his contract expired, and Red Bull insisted that he would not be allowed to leave before 2026.
He did not specify exactly when in 2026 and told BBC Sport that talks had taken place which led to him starting the job at McLaren on January 1 this year.
Despite these developments, for the entirety of the previous year, Courtenay remained in his previous role, even though Red Bull was battling McLaren for the drivers’ championship.
For now, that will be the case with Lambiasse – he will continue in his role as Red Bull’s racing chief and Verstappen’s race engineer for the foreseeable future.
However, just because Red Bull’s statement announcing his departure said he would not be joining McLaren until 2028 does not mean that will be the case.
A statement from McLaren said Lambiez would join “before 2028.”. This means they will be hoping to reach an agreement with Red Bull that will reduce that deadline.
Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that McLaren has stressed that Lambiasse is joining to provide support to team principal Andrea Stella, not to ultimately replace him.
Stella has been acting as the Chief Racing Officer, a role for which Lambias has been appointed, in addition to being the Team Principal.
Stella said last week: “Jack (Brown, chief executive of McLaren Racing) and I have created a flat team structure, which requires ensuring that all leaders are appropriately empowered, but at the same time, we must guarantee that the necessary level of long-term support is always in place.
This approach may make my dual role unsustainable in the long run.
McLaren has indirectly – but very clearly —debunked erroneous reports that Stella is on his way to Ferrari.
Stella said in a statement released by McLaren on Friday: “Some of the recent rumours, including rumours about huge salaries and legendary pre-contracts, have made me smile.
“I am used to this kind of thing by now and take it with a smile. It almost seems as if some jealous pastry chef has tried to spoil the preparation of a delicious dessert in the Maclaren patisserie. However, we know very well how to distinguish the excellent stuff from the poisonous biscuits.”
David Lammy has hit back at the president’s attacks on Sir Keir Starmer by insulting Donald Trump, branding him “small and petty” and accusing the US president of using personal insults to force Britain’s hand on Iran – while making it clear London has no intention of getting involved in the conflict.
The Foreign Secretary said a leader of Trump’s stature should be able to disagree with allies through diplomatic channels and argued that Washington’s conduct had “made things worse, not better” for an already unstable world.
Relations between the two countries have deteriorated badly during the conflict, with the President repeatedly targeting the Prime Minister over his refusal to put British military resources behind the American campaign. Most notably, Trump dismissed Starmer as “no Winston Churchill” over the Prime Minister’s failure to allow US aircraft to use UK bases in the early days of his attacks on Iran.
Lamy’s Washington Mission
Determined to lower the temperature and impress upon Washington the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz – through which a significant portion of the planet’s energy and cargo moves – Lammy travelled to the US capital last week, sitting down with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Breaking his silence on those discussions, Lammy said he had “no doubt” that American politicians appreciated the economic devastation caused by the conflict “simply through self-interest” and said Vance was acutely conscious of the domestic costs as the midterm elections approached.
Labor’s anti-Trump legacy
Before becoming Foreign Secretary, David Lammy once branded Trump a “tyrant” and a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”.
When pressed on those comments by the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, Lammy refused to apologise, saying he was “not looking back” but “looking forward”.
He insisted that despite his history of inflammatory comments, he would remain “kind” to Trump during his state visit to the UK and said he had “enjoyed” meeting the US president in New York with Sir Keir in September, describing Trump as “a very gracious host” with whom the group had shared “good discussions” and “laughs in places”.
Lammy said, “I will do everything I can on behalf of the British people in our national interests and that is to work with our closest ally. And I will be as kind to him as he has been to me.”
“That’s the way I was brought up in the big part of London called Tottenham and tin the great city of Peterborough—you’rekind to people who are kind to you.”
Labour’s fraught history with Trump is not limited to Lammy. In 2016, Sir Keir described Trump’s comments as “repulsive,” “offensive,” “shocking,” and “disturbing.”
Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel urged the government to rebuild bridges with Washington, warning: “Keir Starmer and David Lammy will now have to work doubly hard to repair the damage caused by their immature and reckless statements.”
He added, “The Conservative Party and President Trump agree on many things – particularly the challenges our countries face in securing our borders, combating illegal immigration, and increasing defence spending.”
Dame Preeti said that “the importance of our relationship with the US cannot be overstated” and described Trump’s election as presenting “exciting new opportunities” in the years to come.
Starmer under siege
A possible diplomatic opening came on Sunday when Trump revealed that US negotiators would negotiate a fresh deal for Pakistan this week. But he also attached a stark warning to the announcement – the US would “destroy” every Iranian power station if Tehran walked away from the negotiating table. The strait remains closed.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is facing a completely different challenge. Sir Keir faces growing demands that he step down over the circumstances surrounding the appointment of Lord Mandelson as Britain’s man in Washington – a saga that has consumed Westminster for weeks and shows no sign of abating.
Writing to Sir Keir on Sunday, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch accused him of treating parliament with contempt and indicated she expected a full and frank answer when he stands before MPs. He urged them to “give us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”.
The matter took an even more damaging turn when it emerged that Downing Street had received a detailed briefing document on Mandelson – compiled by the Cabinet Office – long before the security vetting process was completed. That document cast doubt on his suitability for the role, raised sharp questions about his business activities in China and expressed unease about the glowing terms in which he described a private exchange with Xi Jinping – an account the executive described as “flowery”.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he will have to mintroduce changes tohis squad as they look to overtake Arsenal.
Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-1 to record a resounding victory in the Premier League title race.
Pep Guardiola has warned that Manchester City will have to rely on more players if they are to overtake Arsenal in the final stages of the Premier League title race. The city beat the Gunners at the Etihad, which means they can go to the top of the table with a win at Burnley on Wednesday, but their manager admitted he cannot rely on the small group that has fuelled City’s push.
Eight days since Arsenal had the chance to go 12 points clear at the top of the table, City cut the deficit to three after victories over Chelsea and the leaders – and have a game in hand to help their momentum. Due to their FA Cup semi-final against Southampton next weekend, they will play midweek in the league.
It’s a chance for the Blues but also to get back to playing two games a week. Guardiola would rather have been in the Champions League but used Erling Haaland’s pairing with the Arsenal defenders to highlight how City have benefited from playing just twice in the last fortnight.
City were unchanged from their win against Chelsea, and their first change didn’t come until the 85th minute against Arsenal, as the same players came on for two big games. However, Guardiola is clear that he needs other players to step up, especially with Rodri likely injured due to a groin problem and games starting to come thick and fast again.
“He knows this situation isn’t the first time he’s dealt with Gabrielle and William Saliba. But playing every three days in November, December, January, and February – it’s not simple to maintain that with your body,” said Guardiola.
“Bernardo can do it but he’s a bit faster now because we’ve had a long week; he’s got to rest for two or three days, train properly and come here fresh.
“I knew that but I realised that it’s another competition for teams playing in Europe and for teams playing in a competition. It’s another history; it’s another game. Big clubs have better players, more squads, and are better financially, but when you come to play seven days and three days and three days, it’s another game. I realised this now in these last weeks.
“In these last games I played more or less the starting XI because we had six, seven, or eight days between games. But now, we go to London to play Burnley and then Southampton, and these guys can’t play all the time. If you’re a successful team, we can do it together.”
Universities in England will face fines of up to £500,000 or 2% of income for free speech failings under the new system.
Universities in England will face tougher scrutiny over free speech under a new complaints system that allows staff to take their concerns straight to the Office for Students (OfS), with them facing huge financial penalties if they fail to protect free speech.
the BBC reports. In the next academic year, university staff will be able to bring complaints to the regulator, which can review cases, order changes and direct compensation. From April 2027,
Universities could be fined up to £500,000 or 2% of their income, raising the possibility of fines of several million pounds for larger institutions.”
Freedom of expression is the foundation of the success of every university.”
The BBC quoted Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson. He said a number of incidents have created an “unacceptable culture of fear and stifled the pursuit of knowledge”.
The system is based on free speech laws introduced in August 2025, although students will not be able to use the new route and will have to continue with existing complaint channels.
An earlier proposal to allow individuals to take universities to civil courts has also been dropped. After many controversies, the pressure for reform has increased.
The Free Speech Union said it has handled more than 5,700 cases over the past six years, in almost one in ten of which universities have failed to protect free speech.
A previous fine of £585,000 imposed on the University of Sussex, which is now subject to legal challenge, has highlighted the scale of enforcement.
Sector bodies have urged caution. Universities UK advocated for the fair, transparent, and proportionate use of these powers.
Malcolm Press said “complex and balanced decisions” are needed to prevent harassment, hate speech and radicalisation, as well as protect free speech.
Political reactions remain divided. Shadow Education Secretary Laura Trott said universities have been left subject to censorship with no clear route to redress, adding that research has been silenced, controversial work has been stopped, and institutions have been able to avoid accountability.
Based on recent reports, it appears that the LIV Golf League may be facing a decline.
The PGA Tour and DP World Tour consistently advance due to their substantial financial resources for competition and victory. It was – and is – a huge challenge from a business and sustainability perspective.
Although there have been mixed messages from their chief executive, Scott O’Neill, where he gave an interview and then retracted some of it to try to backtrack on what he said, what is happening seems pretty clear: LIV Golf is at an important—and potentially terminal—crossroads.
Most leading media companies agree that the demise of the LIV Golf League in its current format is imminent, perhaps at the end of the year. So, from there, the question is what happens next?

‘Impossible Situation’ or Opportunity to Prepare for LIV Golf?
LIV Golf is paying giant sums to its players, apart from huge prize money and staging expenses. You’re talking about $5m to $70m overhead for each event played around the world. It has raised an estimated $5 billion since its inception four years ago.
With limited media rights and sponsorships coming in, he has admitted that he is years away from break-even or profitability. Even with big crowds in places like South Africa and Australia, you’re still not going anywhere near that financial outlay, as ticket prices can only be so high in those countries.

Sky Sports Chief Correspondent Kaweh Solhekol explains how changes in Saudi investment in the sport could affect the future of Newcastle, Mohamed Salah and LIV Golf.
It has become abundantly clear that the golfing public prefers the old traditional form of golf, the history of golf and the connection to that history. It appears that people are generally more interested in the ‘golf but loud’ offering as well as the historic events than the team events that LIV Golf offers.
They believe that music and in-your-face golf represent the future and what young people want. Young people haven’t reacted that way, certainly in the United States, because the PGA Tour still has only a small fraction of the data it has.
I think it’s nearly impossible to get sponsors to match the Saudis’ financial work for LIV.
Although I am a former tour player, I have also been on the board of the DP World Tour and know what the commercial challenges are like. The emergence of LIV has forced the PGA Tour to respond financially, presenting its own set of challenges.

With speculation that Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund may be withdrawing its financial support for LIV Golf, the organization’s rocky relationship with the rest of the golf world could be restored.
They had to bring in private equity to help keep paying the bills, and now they have so much that their prize funds have had to increase to compete with LIV’s offering.
Can LIV’s struggle bring balance to power?
Brian Rolop has gone to the PGA Tour as CEO and his job is to repackage the tour and try to sell it for more money, whether it’s to sponsors or TV companies. Selling the PGA Tour is a challenging task.
Prize funds have more than doubled since LIV hit the pitch and the business model overheads for the PGA Tour and DP World Tour are now prohibitively expensive.

Brian Roelp discusses major potential changes to the PGA Tour, including the possibility of promotion and relegation, at The Players.
Going back to sponsors and finding double or triple what they were paying before will not be easy, especially since golf is considered somewhat of a minority sport compared to football, the NFL, or the NBA in America. There may be an adjustment or reset.
What can work in their favour, however, is that you currently have three tours and a small player pool, which makes the players very powerful. Those players have benefited from three tours, but if LIV were no longer there, it would again give the tour a huge advantage.
I would love to play in this era. It’s just incredible how much money is available to all players today due to the emergence of LIV.

The Golf Central studio reflected on the ongoing situation at LIV Golf, with one player describing the situation as a ‘mess’.
The DP World Tour has been playing for record prize funds over the past few years due to its strategic alliance with the PGA Tour. Those rewards are largely unaffected by any downturn in the economy, which is unrealistic in the long run.
I believe LIV has created a dangerous false economy for golf. A period of readjustment is required, and you may well see power shift to administrators and tours rather than players if players lose leverage.

The DP World Tour presents a potential opportunity for LIV to establish a partnership, but achieving this will be a challenging task. You have to remember that LIV has been a rival to the DP World Tour for the past few years and has taken sponsors as well as venues outside of the DPW Tour schedule.
There have also been many claims made by people on LIV in recent years about LIV being a ‘world tour’, which is somewhat disrespectful and classy for the DP World Tour and all its history.
It’s fair to say that relations are not cordial at the moment and it would take a lot of negotiation and progress for LIV to have any sort of alignment with the DP World Tour, let alone the PGA Tour.

Paul McGinley discusses the future of LIV, what it means for players and why the concept isn’t catching on.
If needed, how can LIV golf players be re-united?
It will not be simple to rehabilitate these players, should they be allowed to do so. In the last few years of LIV Golf’s operation, new players have filled all the spots previously held by these players, whether on the DP World Tour or the PGA Tour.
You can’t just get back on your way, especially since the PGA Tour will have smaller fields instead of the big ones left behind by these players, so there are many obstacles along the way.
Please consider using the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player.
With LIV Golf’s future in doubt, Paul McGinley believes the PGA Tour needs to reward players who remain loyal to him.
To do right by the players who stayed with the main tours, there will be suspensions, fines, and other measures that have been discussed for years. Of course, very high LIV players will have better options than low-ranked LIV players.
Everyone who went to LIV went with a lot of risk. He was paid huge sums to take massive risks, bypass the safety nets of Tours and challenge the model he left behind.
They justified it as a tough business decision, made by looking at themselves. Characters can now be swapped, and Tor can play a really hard ball against them.
There is a lot of negotiation between the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, and LIV players regarding what the future holds if LIV is going to fold. It won’t be an effortless journey for the LIV boys, I can assure you of that.
