Myles Garrett, Chloe Kim confirm romance rumors with kiss at NFL game

Cleveland BrownsstarMyles Garretthad another huge performance inhis team's Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and perhaps this time he was simply showing out for the Olympian in his life.

After months of rumors about Garrett's relationship status, the all-Pro defensive lineman andOlympic snowboarder Chloe Kimappeared to confirm they are a couple when Kim showed up on the sidelines for Cleveland's most recent game. Kim could be seen wishing Garrett good luck, then apologizing for getting make-up on his jersey, as Garrett took pictures with Kim and her family, and then leaned in for a kiss in a video released on social media by the Browns.

"Thank you, love," Garrett said to Kim before running back onto the field.

Garrett, 29, leads the NFL with 18 sacks this season, including 14 over the past five games. The 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year is on pace to set the single-season sacks record set by Michael Strahan (22.5).Kim, 25, is the two-time defending Olympic gold medalistin the women's halfpipe and will attempt to become the first three-peat winner in the event atthe 2026 Milan Cortina Games.

Here's the timeline behind this relationship of two elite athletes that, until recently, had been mostly kept private:

Week 1: Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (18) makes a catch for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers during the fourth quarter at Lambeau Field. The play was originally ruled an incomplete pass, but the call was overturned. Despite TeSlaa's effort, the Packers won the game 27-13.

Shedeur Sanders disarms Kevin Stefanski 'sabotaging' narrative; Browns QB says Donald Trump has been longtime supporter

Shedeur Sandersdidn't see the field until Week 11 of his rookie season. He didn't make his first NFL start until Week 12.

A contingent of the quarterback's fans have theorized that Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was conspiring against Sanders this season, as the Browns first started a 40-year-old Joe Flacco before turning to third-round pick Dillon Gabriel in Week 5.

Sanders, a fifth-round selection wholed the Browns to victorythis past weekend against the Las Vegas Raiderswhile Gabriel was in concussion protocol, faced a question Wednesday about those Stefanski "sabotaging" allegations.

"All your supporters out there say that Kevin Stefanski was sabotaging you," a reportersaid.

"So you just want to start trouble, huh?" Sanders responded at the podium.

The reporter answered, "No, I want to ask you what your relationship with him is."

Notably, two days earlier,Stefanski named Sanders the Browns' starter for this week's gameagainst the San Francisco 49ers, despite Gabriel being cleared to play.

"What people do outside the building isn't really in my control," Sanders said. "It's not in my power. So I don't — you act like I go out there and tell them to do whatever. You know, that's not nothing I control or nothing I can do.

"Overall, I'm just happy to be here. Coach Stefanski has been coaching since I got here, and he's been doing a very great job with everything that's going on."

The reporter followed up, asking what Sanders' relationship is with Stefanski when they're away from the cameras.

"Definitely like a coach," Sanders said. "He tells me what I need to do, on and off the field. We've definitely grown — our relationship and everything has grown. So I'm just thankful to be here."

Sanders operated Stefanki's offense to the tune of a 24-10 victory in Vegas. He threw his first-career touchdown pass, and he ended a 17-game losing streak held by Browns quarterbacks making their first-ever NFL start.

While Myles Garrett and the Cleveland defense preyed on a reeling Raiders offensive line, Sanders helped the Browns take a 14-0 first-quarter lead, most notably escaping a blitz and uncorking a 52-yard throw to wide receiver Isaiah Bond that set up the second of two Quinshon Judkins rushing touchdowns.

Midway through the fourth quarter, the former Colorado star dumped off a pass to running back Dylan Sampson, who then sprinted 66 yards to the end zone to make it a 24-3 game.

Sanders has earned quite a bit of love since, including from the President of the United States.

Sanders responds to social media post made by President Donald Trump

Following Sanders' win over the Raiders, President Donald Trump posted on social media, "Shedeur Sanders was GREAT. Wins first game, career start, as a pro (for Cleveland). Great Genes. I TOLD YOU SO!"

Sanders responded Wednesday in his news conference.

"He's definitely been a supporter for a minute," Sanders said. "So I'm just thankful for him, even taking time out of his day to be able to speak out and support."

The spotlight was on Sanders long before he took over as the Browns' starting quarterback. The sports world will be watching as he goes up against the 49ers, the team his Pro Football Hall of Fame father won both NFL Defensive Player of the Year and the Super Bowl with during the 1994 season.

Mbappé scores hat trick in 7 minutes in Real Madrid's Champions League game vs. Olympiakos

PIRAEUS, Greece (AP) — Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé scored thesecond-fastest hat trick in Champions League historyby netting three times in just under seven minutes at Olympiakos on Wednesday.

Mbappé scored in the 22nd, 24th and 29th minutes — after Chiquinho had put Olympiakos ahead in the eighth. The France international also scored a fourth goal in the 60th after Mehdi Taremi had scored for the hosts in the 52nd.

Mohamed Salah's hat trick for Liverpool at Rangers in 2022 had broken the record for the quickest ever scored in the Champions League,according to UEFA. The Egypt forward needed six minutes, 12 seconds to score his goals after entering the match seven minutes before his opening strike.

It was Mbappé's fifth hat trick in the Champions League — and second this season. He had scored three times against Kairat in the second round of the league phase.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have eight hat tricks each in the Champions League, while Robert Lewandowski has six.

Mbappé now leads the Champions League in scoring this season with nine goals, three more than Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen.

Maduro Brandishes Sword at Rally as U.S. Tensions Escalate

Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro rallied his supporters on Tuesday during a march in the country's capital, Caracas. Dressed in camouflage fatigues and brandishing a sword, Maduro vowed to protect his homeland from any possible U.S. threat. His defiant stance comes as tensions between Venezuela and the U.S. have reached a seemingly critical level, with the latter expanding its military presence in the Caribbean Sea. Since September,the Trump Administration has launched over 20 strikes on boatsit alleges are smuggling narcotics, killing at least 80 people.

"We must be ready to defend every inch of this blessed land from imperialist threat or aggression, no matter where it comes from," Maduro told his cheering supporters. "There is no excuse for anyone to fail at this decisive moment, for the existence of the Republic, no excuse."

It's thought the sword held by Maduro once belonged to the late military officer Simon Bolivar, who played a key role in securing Venezuela's independence.

Maduro's public rallying cry against any international threat comes amid escalating friction with the U.S.

TheU.S. Department of State on Monday officially designatedthe Cartel de los Soles, "headed by Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking individuals of the illegitimate Maduro regime," as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO)." A statement authored by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio—a key figure in the U.S.-Venezuela tensions—said "neither Maduro nor his cronies represent Venezuela's legitimate government."

The Trump Administration, much like the Biden Administration before them, does not recognize Maduro as the legitimate leader of Venezuela. Maduro became President of Venezuela following Hugo Chavez's death in 2013. He was sworn in for a third term in January, despite widespread concern over the legitimacy of the country's election results.

Trump has previously claimed the Venezuelan cartelTren De Araguais under the control of Maduro. (A claimreportedly at oddswith an assessment by U.S. analysts.)

Amid unconfirmedreportsthat the U.S. may soon launch a new phase of its Venezuela operations, Trump was asked by reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday if he plans on speaking with Maduro.

"I might talk to him. We'll see, but we're discussing that with the different staffs. We might talk with Venezuela," Trumpreplied. "If we can save lives, if we could do things the easy way, that's fine. And if we have to do it the hard way, that's fine, too."

Trump and his Administration have argued the U.S. military action in the Caribbean Sea is necessary to curb the flow of drugs into the United States. But the President's approach has drawn plenty of criticism and concern, even from within his own party.

"The strategic objective of militarizing a 'War on Drugs' is unclear at best and, while not currently desired or contemplated, these operations could conceivably lead to direct military conflict with Venezuela or even operations inside the United States,"saidRepublican Sen. Todd Young of Indiana earlier this month.

Daniel Gonzalez—Getty Images" style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" />

TheU.S. publichas also seemingly shown a strong opposition to the Trump Administration's actions regarding this matter. ACBS News/YouGov poll, conducted Nov. 19-21, showed that 70% of respondents opposed U.S. military action in Venezuela, and 56% believe any military action would have no effect on the amount of drugs entering the U.S.

There have also been global implications, as some countries have now suspended—or curtailed—part of theirintelligence sharing with the U.S. over the boat strikes.

Adding to the international condemnation, Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Tuesdaydenouncedthe U.S. military presence in the region, calling it an "exaggerated and aggressive" threat. He went on to "appeal" to the people of the U.S. to stop the "madness."

Colombia has taken a similar stance against the boat strikes and growing U.S. naval presence in the Caribbean. Colombian President Gustavo Petro previously accused Secretary Rubio and Trump of being "wrong" about the people targeted on the boats. Petro has also argued that "the fight against drugsmust be subordinated to the human rights of the Caribbean people."

Soldiers in Guinea-Bissau appear on state television saying they have seized power

BISSAU, Guinea-Bissau (AP) — Soldiers inGuinea-Bissauappeared on state television Wednesday saying they have seized power in the country, following reports of gunshots near the presidential palace, three days afternational elections. The president told French media he had been deposed and arrested.

It was the latest of several coups in recent years in West Africa.

"The High Military Command for the reestablishment of national and public order decides to immediately depose the president of the republic, to suspend, until new orders, all of the institutions of the republic of Guinea-Bissau," spokesperson Dinis N'Tchama said in a statement.

He said they acted in response to the "discovery of an ongoing plan" that he said aimed to destabilize the country by attempting to "manipulate electoral results."

The "scheme was set up by some national politicians with the participation of a well-known drug lord, and domestic and foreign nationals," N'Tchama asserted, and gave no details.

The soldiers said they were immediately suspending the electoral process and the activities of media outlets, as well as closing all borders.

Guinea-Bissau has seen four coups and numerous attempted ones since independence, including onereported last month.The country also has emerged as a hub for drug trafficking between Latin America and Europe.

The presidential and legislative elections were held Sunday. Incumbent President Umaro Sissoco Embaló and opposition candidate Fernando Dias da Costa each claimed victory Tuesday, even though official provisional results were not expected until Thursday.

How the coup unfolded

Gunfire was heard midday Wednesday near the presidential palace. An Associated Press journalist saw roads leading to the palace closed off, with checkpoints manned by heavily armed and masked soldiers.

An official from the presidential palace said a group of armed men tried to attack the building, leading to an exchange of gunfire with guards. Another official from the Interior Ministry said they also heard gunshots near the National Electoral Commission nearby. The two spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly on the matter.

A key member of an international election observer group said the election commission chief was arrested and the commission office was sealed off by the military.

"The president has been speaking to people saying he's being held by the military," the observer group staffer told the AP. They spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not allowed to speak publicly on the matter.

French news outlet Jeune Afrique quoted Embaló as saying he was arrested in what he called a coup led by the army chief of staff. He said he was not subjected to violence.

"I have been deposed," Embaló told French television network France 24.

Embaló had faced a legitimacy crisis, with the opposition saying his tenure had long expired and that they did not recognize him as president.

Guinea-Bissau's constitution sets the presidential term at five years. Embaló first came to power in February 2020. The opposition says his term should have ended on Feb. 27 of this year, but the Supreme Court ruled it should run until Sept. 4.

The presidential election, however, was delayed until this month.

Bodies demand return to constitutional rule

A U.N. official said Wednesday that the world body was following the situation in Guinea-Bissau "with deep concern."

U.N. Secretary General António Guterres "appeals to all national stakeholders in Guinea-Bissau to exercise restraint and respect the rule of law," Stéphane Dujarric, his spokesperson, told reporters.

In a joint statement, the election observation missions of the African Union and of the regional bloc known as ECOWAS, denounced a "blatant attempt to disrupt the democratic process" and called for a return to the "constitutional order."

It also urged the immediate release of detained election officials.

The civil society coalition Popular Front accused Embaló and the army of staging a "simulated coup" to block the release of election results and cling on to power.

"This maneuver aims to prevent the publication of the electoral results scheduled for tomorrow, Nov. 27," the group said in a statement on Wednesday. It claimed that Embaló plans to name a new president and interim prime minister, then call fresh elections in which he intends to run again.

West Africa has seen a wave of coups since 2020. Three landlocked nations in the region, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, are now ruled by military leaders who have taken power by force, on the pledge of providing more security to citizens against an insurgency by armed groups.

In neighboring Guinea,Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya, the junta leader, overthrew the president in 2021, chastising the previous government for breaking promises while promising to rid the country of bad governance and corruption.

In Gabon, mutinous soldiers took power in 2023, shortly after the president was declared thewinner of the electionfrom which international observers, for the first time, had been barred. In April, coup leader Gen. Brice Oligui Nguema was elected president.

Banchereau reported from Dakar, Senegal.
