James Anderson has signed for Surrey for 2027, extending his county cricket career beyond his 45th birthday.

The 44-year-old England fast bowler was left without a club after Lancashire ended his 25-year association following the 2026 season.

Anderson had captained Lancashire and taken about 50 County Championship wickets last season, even as the team finished second-bottom in Division Two.

He says he still wants to take wickets and help Surrey win, while also supporting younger players.

After the midterm elections, Democrats are set to control both chambers of Congress, while voters’ dissatisfaction with the Iran war contributed to Republican losses.

The United States and Israel began the war on February 28, and Trump launched it without first seeking Congress’s approval.

Congress cannot end the fighting on its own, but it controls federal spending and can use that power to pressure the president.

Democrats could try to block money for the war in budget bills, though Trump could veto those measures, risking a government shutdown if lawmakers cannot agree on funding.

US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow on Thursday for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Their visit follows two days of US-mediated negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, the first such direct talks in nine months.

The Abu Dhabi talks produced no breakthrough on ending the war, although a major prisoner exchange is planned and the sides reported some progress on security guarantees.

Territory remains a major obstacle: Ukraine rejects Putin’s demand that it surrender all of the eastern Donbas region.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly slowed a US crackdown on companies suspected of diverting Nvidia chips to China.

President Donald Trump authorized the crackdown last Thursday, according to the account, marking the third time this year he had done so.

The dispute centers on export controls meant to limit where US-made chips can be sold.

At a White House meeting, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent challenged Lutnick over his department’s resistance; Lutnick reportedly said he needed to check with Trump.

Leaked records from Russia’s statistics agency, Rosstat, list 11,335 deaths among foreign-born people who fought for Russia in Ukraine.

The records cover late February 2022 to late August 2026 and include people from nearly 100 countries.

About 3,700 of those recorded as dead were Ukrainian citizens or born in Ukraine, and about 6,000 held Russian citizenship when they died.

The figures come from data obtained by hackers and have not yet been fully verified by journalists examining them.

The Denver Broncos have acquired linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers.

Denver will send Los Angeles a fourth-round pick in 2027 and a fifth-round pick in 2028.

Henley has been a regular starter for the Chargers, missing only one game over the past three seasons.

The trade moves him within the AFC West, where the 7-2 Broncos lead the division and the 0-8 Chargers are winless.

The FDA is adding a vision-loss warning to all GLP-1 drugs used for weight loss, diabetes and other conditions in the United States.

The drugs include well-known brands such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound.

The warning concerns a rare condition that reduces blood flow to the optic nerve and can sometimes cause permanent vision loss.

An FDA analysis found about 6 cases per 100,000 patients taking a GLP-1 for at least a year, compared with fewer than 4 per 100,000 among people taking a placebo or other glucose-lowering medicines.
