🚨Deal done, Lanzini leaves River to join Vélez
Just a few minutes ago, Manuel Lanzini reached an agreement with River and Vélez to become the new reinforcement. The details are being finalized to avoid repeating what happened with Marcos Rojo in Racing. He will likely be loaned to the Fortín until his contract ends, so there will be no inconvenience when playing the local no longer had a place in Marcelo Gallardo's River, and Guillermo Barros Schelotto made him a priority until today, when his wish was fulfilled.

UK on track for one of hottest summers on record, says Met Office
The UK is on track for one of its hottest summers on record, the Met Office said. The summer has been marked by persistent warm temperatures even outside the four heatwaves which have hit the country, with June and July both seeing well above-average conditions. With two weeks to go until the end of the meteorological summer, conditions could still shift, but the season's overall warmth and consistently above-average temperatures mean it could rank among the UK's warmest in records dating back to 1884. Provisional figures from the Met Office show that the UK's average temperature from June 1 to August 17 stands at 16.2C, some 1.6C above the average temperature. Met Office scientist Emily Carlisle said: 'It's looking like this summer is on track to be one of the warmest, if not 'the' warmest, since the series began in 1884. 'What's striking is the consistency of the warmth. June and July were both well above average and even outside of heatwaves, temperatures have remained on the warmer side. 'This persistent warmth is driven by a combination of factors including dry ground from spring, high-pressure systems, and unusually warm seas around the UK. 'These conditions have created an environment where heat builds quickly and lingers.' She said: 'While we haven't seen record-breaking highs – 35.8C is the peak so far this year – the overall trend in consistently above-average temperatures is what matters.' The Met Office said climate change is also playing a role in pushing up summer temperatures, with the UK warming by around 0.25C per decade. The UK's warmest summer on record is 2018, followed by 2006, 2003, 2022 and 1976. The Met Office said both June and July delivered consistently above-average temperatures, with England experiencing its hottest June on record. There have been four heatwaves so far this summer, and the Met Office said while that was unusual, each has been short-lived and interspersed with near average conditions and the hottest day of the year, at 35.8C in Faversham, Kent, is well below the all-time high for the UK of 40.3C in 2022. Rainfall is tracking below average, with 72% of the whole summer's long term average recorded so far, when 85% would be expected at this point in the season – but it is variable, with northern Scotland already receiving 98% of its summer rainfall and the Midlands just 58%. The below-average rainfall in summer comes after England's driest spring in more than 100 years and the driest January to July since 1929, the Met Office said. It has also been a sunnier than average summer so far, although the meteorological experts said it was too early to suggest where 2025 might end up in terms of sunshine records.

Here's the latest in the labour dispute between Air Canada and its flight attendants
OTTAWA — Air Canada flight attendants remain on strike despite back-to-work orders by the Canada Industrial Relations Board. Over the weekend, the federal government asked the board to send the two sides to binding arbitration and order an end to the job action. But the union is challenging the order in Federal Court, and the 10,000 workers have stayed on strike. This morning the labour board declared the strike unlawful and ordered the union's leadership to tell the flight attendants to go back to work. Here's the latest. All times ET. 9:30 a.m. Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's disappointed Air Canada and the union representing its flight attendants weren't able to reach a deal after eight months of negotiations. He tells reporters on Parliament Hill he is urging both sides to quickly resolve the situation. 9 a.m. Air Canada says the Canada Industrial Relations Board has declared the strike unlawful and has ordered the union's leadership to direct its members to return to work. The order came as picketers continued to march around the Terminal 1 departure doors at Toronto Pearson International Airport early Monday morning. Chants reverberated through the sliding doors and into the airport terminal, where passengers approached Air Canada employees to ask about alternatives to their cancelled flights.

Auburn will formally retire QB Cam Newton's No. 2 jersey during game against Georgia
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn will retire 2010 Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton's No. 2 jersey this fall, making him the fourth player in program history to receive the honor. The ceremony will take place during Auburn's home game against rival Georgia on Oct. 11. Newton will join Pat Sullivan (No. 7), Bo Jackson (No. 34) and Terry Beasley (No. 88) as former Tigers football players whose numbers are formally retired. The jerseys of Sullivan and Beasley were retired following Sullivan's 1971 Heisman Trophy season, and Jackson's number was retired as part of Auburn's football centennial celebration in 1992. No one has worn No. 2 at Auburn since Newton and the Tigers beat Oregon in the Bowl Championship Series national title game for the 2010 season. But soon it will be officially out of service. 'Auburn will always be home to me,' Newton said in a statement. 'The national championship we won in 2010 was a special moment, and to have my jersey retired ... is an incredible honor that I'll cherish forever. War Eagle!' One of the most decorated players in Auburn and Southeastern Conference history, Newton led Auburn to conference and national titles with a perfect 14-0 record. He threw for 2,854 yards and 30 touchdowns while rushing for 1,473 yards and 20 more scores. He became the first player in SEC history to pass for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than 1,000 yards in a single season. 'Cam Newton not only led Auburn to a national championship in 2010, but he produced one of the most prolific seasons ever by a college football player,' Auburn athletic director John Cohen said. 'Retiring Cam's jersey number is a fitting way to celebrate his lasting impact on Auburn University and Auburn Athletics for all time.' ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

Woman Says 'We're Four Months Behind' On $465,000 Mortgage Bought With Ex — And Has $25,000 In Debt On Top Of It
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. On "The Ramsey Show," Janelle from Raleigh, North Carolina, said she and her ex are four months behind on a $465,000 mortgage. She explained that she had built up $25,000 in debt and now faces possible foreclosure. The loan, still in both names, has become the centerpiece of a financial and legal standoff. In June, co-hosts George Kamel and Ken Coleman heard Janelle describe the fallout and ask what to do next. Mortgage Still Standing After Breakup Janelle said she and her ex bought the property together, but they split about a year later. She moved out and began renting elsewhere, while both names remained listed on the mortgage and deed. Don't Miss: Would you have invested in eBay or Uber early? The same backers are betting on . , which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with just a $100 minimum. "We're four months behind," she told Kamel and Coleman, adding that they had tried to sell the home but still have not found a buyer. The outstanding balance remains at $465,000. Coleman noted the legal stakes, saying, "You are legally obligated to pay that [mortgage], whether you've moved out or not. Her ex had initially covered payments but eventually stopped after she left. Janelle also halted contributions, explaining that rent and other expenses left her strapped. Considering A Short Sale "We're in the process of asking the mortgage company for a short sale to see if that's even possible," Janelle said, noting $12,000 in missed payments and no offers on the table. Meanwhile, Kamel warned that catching up on payments is critical to avoiding foreclosure. He advised halting 401(k) contributions and unnecessary spending, using all available funds to cover the arrears. "You need to act like everything is on fire," he said, adding that either a quick sale — even at a lower price — or additional income could be the best path forward. Trending: Kevin O'Leary Says Real Estate's Been a Smart Bet for 200 Years — Buying A House With A Partner According to the National Association of Realtors, 6% of all recent home buyers were unmarried couples and the highest share of unmarried couples came from younger millennials, where 13% of buyers were unmarried partners. Unmarried couples who co-own homes face real risks — especially if the relationship ends unexpectedly. In North Carolina, for example, unmarried partnerships receive no special legal protections, making early planning critical. Experts recommend formal agreements like cohabitation or property agreements to clarify ownership, expense-sharing and, exit plans. Title structures also matter — joint tenancy provides equal ownership and automatic survivorship, while tenancy in common allows for unequal shares and different inheritance paths. These legal safeguards help prevent disputes that can echo the complexities of divorce.
