PSG, Chelsea, and Liverpool compete to sign Tomás Araújo
Tomás Araújo (23) is a target for Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Liverpool, according to a report from . Chelsea and Liverpool have both missed out on signing Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen, who, ultimately, will join Real Madrid at the end of the season. Both clubs are therefore looking at Araújo, Foot Mercato understands. However, the Benfica defender would not come cheap. With a contract running until 2029, he has a release clause valued at €80m. As well as the interest from the Premier League, there is also interest from PSG. It is possible that Marquinhos, the longest-serving Parisien in the squad, could leave the Parc des Princes this summer. Regardless, a centre-back is targeted by Luís Campos, whose own future at PSG remains uncertain. PSG are yet to submit an offer for Araújo, although he has been identified as a target. Bayern Munich's Dayot Upamecano and Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté have also been cited as targets. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Crypto CEO's daughter, 34, and child, 2, attacked by knife gang in Paris
The latest alleged attack on wealthy cryptocurrency families in Paris saw a botched kidnapping attempt on a 34-year-old woman and her two-year-old in broad daylight Horror footage shows the moment a crypto CEO's daughter and her young child were attacked by an armed gang in Paris. The alleged kidnappers are said to have attempted to snatch the 34-year-old woman - the daughter of unnamed cryptocurrency millionaire - and her two-year-old child in broad daylight. French media said the abduction was only stopped by the efforts of the child's father, who shielded her and took several punches, and suffered what appeared to be a stab wound to his upper back. An investigating source said: "They arrived in a Chronopost [delivery] van and attempted to take the mother away from her child. Her partner managed to fight the three kidnappers off"' The source said the unnamed woman's father was the chief executive officer of a crypto firm. It is feared that the gang may have been trying to take the woman hostage, before sending a ransom demand to her father. Videos posted on social media shows three men dressed in black and wearing balaclavas launching the attack. They first of all hit the partner, as the woman screams "Leave me alone!" Footage filmed from nearby buildings show the woman being attacked while grabbing a handgun from a gunman, before throwing it away from him. In turn, her partner shouted: "Leave her alone, she's pregnant!". A witness described as a retired doctor called Jean-Jacques told the Parisien news outlet: "I heard screaming, so I went outside. I saw hooded, armed men running away, and I turned my head and saw a man with a bloody head, lying on the ground. There was blood everywhere, so I dealt with the wound." Bystanders also came to help the victims, and the foiled kidnappers hurriedly sped away in their van. One of them is seen throwing what looks like a fire extinguisher at the vehicle as it drives away. Paris's elite anti-bandit bridgade, the BRB, is leading the investigation into the incident, as the hunt for the assailants continues. It marks only the latest attack on cryptocurrency investors and their families in France, sparking a probe among police into a possible organised crime connection. Last week, police rescued the dad of a cryptocurrency millionaire who had been kidnapped and held for ransom in a suburb of Paris. In a striking similarity to the latest incident, police sources quoted by Le Figaro newspaper said the man had been targeted in broad daylight in central Paris. He was mobbed by a group of men, and forced into a delivery van by four masked men in balaclavas. While he was being kept hostage, the kidnappers demanded a ransom of between $5.6million (£4.2million) and $7million (£5.2million) from his son. The victim, said to be in his 50s, was reported to be missing a finger when he was eventually located in a property in Palaiseau, located south of Paris. Four suspects have been arrested.

Wildfires burn thousands of acres on tribal lands in North Dakota
by Naharnet Newsdesk 07 May 2025, 15:22 Crews have been fighting at least 16 wildfires throughout North Dakota in the last several days, including several large fires still burning Tuesday across wooded areas and grasslands on the Turtle Mountain Reservation near the Canadian border. Dry and breezy conditions before the spring green-up haven't helped the situation. Much of the state is in some level of drought, including a swath of western North Dakota in severe or extreme drought, according to a recent map by the U.S. Drought Monitor. Numerous agencies including the North Dakota Forest Service and fire departments have responded to the fires. National Guard Black Hawk helicopters have dropped water, saving homes. Officials requested fire engines from as far as Montana and South Dakota. Tribal members with buckets and hoses sprang into action to fight the flames. "It's inspiring that our people can rise up and help each other out like that," Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Tribal Chair Jamie Azure said Tuesday. Three distinct fires that have been joining and separating have burned about 6.5 square miles (16.8 square kilometers) in the Turtle Mountain area, according to the state Department of Emergency Services. Most of the fires have been north of Belcourt, in the northern part of the Turtle Mountain Reservation, said Jenna Parisien, recruitment and retention coordinator and spokesperson for the Belcourt Rural Fire Department. "We have several locations where areas have burned, so places were lit up all at once, and with the unfavorable weather conditions that we have had, areas keep relighting, embers are causing spread to surrounding areas as well," Parisien said. The fires steadily kicked off on Friday, she said. It wasn't clear how much of the fires were contained. Three firefighters were treated for exhaustion, dehydration and smoke inhalation, but were doing well, Azure said. One vacant mobile home was believed to be lost, but there were no other injuries or homes lost despite fires in people's yards, he said. About 10 families evacuated from their homes, he said. Crews were battling high winds with the fires on Monday, but rain overnight, moderate winds and firefighters' great efforts have improved the situation, Azure said Tuesday. Seventy-five to 100 firefighters responded on Sunday, the busiest day, Parisien said. Local businesses and tribal members have helped, Azure said. Causes of the fires are thought to be accidental, potentially sparks escaping from residents' trash-burning barrels, Parisien said. But some people have been taken into custody in connection with intentionally starting a fire, she said. She declined to elaborate. The Associated Press emailed the Bureau of Indian Affairs for comment. Nearly all of the 16 fires around the state are 100% contained. A fire in Rolla on Sunday led to evacuations. Fires on the Fort Berthold Reservation burned at least 3.1 square miles (8 square kilometers). A 2.8 square mile (7.2 square kilometer) fire on the reservation is 40% contained. No structures are believed lost to it, state Department of Emergency Services spokesperson Alison Vetter said.
