President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28.

Valverde and Guler's first-half goals put Madrid in the driving seat, and Mbappe added a third in the second half.

The Los Angeles Police Department said Saturday that a man was arrested on Friday night at the Brentwood residence of LeBron James.

James is in his first season with the Philadelphia 76ers after spending the previous eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.

James faced his former Cavaliers team in Cleveland on Friday. The Cavaliers selected him first overall in 2003, and he won a championship with them in 2016 during his second stint with the team.

According to TMZ Sports, security spotted the suspect at roughly 9 p.m. and called 911. He was arrested on suspicion of stalking and later claimed he believed he was James’ son.

The LAPD said to OutKick that the suspect was taken into custody without incident and was booked on charges of felony stalking.

The suspect did not enter the home, TMZ said.

A spokesperson for James did not offer a comment.

James struggled at his former home, scoring just eight points on 3-for-12 shooting, including 0-for-4 from three-point range. Cleveland won 119-95 as James' Sixers fell to 8-2 on the season.

The NBA's all-time leading scorer is averaging 14.8 points, 7.4 assists, and 6.9 rebounds per game.

James has made another residence in New York and often commutes to and from Philadelphia via helicopter.

Neither PM Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor that of his rival secured a majority in last week's election.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog announced Saturday that he has chosen opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form the country's next government, handing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's chief rival the first opportunity to build a coalition following an inconclusive national election.

Herzog announced his decision on Nov. 7, but the formal presentation of the mandate is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, at 5 p.m. Israeli time. Eisenkot will then have 28 days to assemble a government, with a possible 14-day extension.

The decision could mark a significant step toward ending Netanyahu’s tenure, but it would also launch a difficult round of coalition negotiations, with deep disagreements among parties seeking to replace him.

NETANYAHU DEFIES EXIT POLLS AS VOTE SHIFTS IN HIS FAVOR, BUT MAJORITY REMAINS ELUSIVE

Following two days of consultations with Israel’s newly elected parliament, Herzog announced Thursday that factions representing 67 of the Knesset’s 120 members had recommended Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, to form the next government. Netanyahu received the backing of 46 lawmakers, while seven members of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party declined to endorse either candidate.

"The results of the consultations may appear clear," Herzog said in his Nov. 5 statement, but cautioned that competing political demands and vetoes have left the prospects for forming a government uncertain.

The challenge facing Eisenkot is that the 67 endorsements do not translate into a 67-seat governing coalition.

In the October 27 election, Netanyahu’s Likud emerged as the largest single party with 27 seats, while his wider political bloc won 53. The four-party alliance seeking to replace him secured just 48 seats.

The remaining endorsements for Eisenkot came from two Arab-led parties, the Joint List and Ra’am, which together hold 19 seats. Although both recommended Eisenkot to the president, their support presents a dilemma for some of his prospective coalition partners, who have ruled out depending on Arab parties to establish a government.

NETANYAHU GAINS OVERNIGHT AS ISRAEL ELECTION HEADS TOWARD POLITICAL DEADLOCK

In a lengthy statement Friday, Eisenkot outlined his plan to establish what he called a National Emergency Government, initially based on the four parties committed to replacing Netanyahu, while leaving the door open for additional parties and lawmakers to join.

"Israel is facing a genuine, tangible and dangerous national emergency," Eisenkot said. He accused the outgoing government of threatening Israeli democracy and warned that continued political instability could deepen the country's security and diplomatic challenges.

Eisenkot said negotiations with his political partners had already produced significant progress and that further talks were underway.

His proposed government would be based on four founding principles: recognition of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state; acceptance of the values of Israel’s Declaration of Independence; universal military, national or civilian service; and recognition of Hamas as a terrorist organization, alongside a commitment to dismantle its military and governing capabilities.

ISRAEL HEADS INTO DEEPLY DIVIDED ELECTION AS OCT. 7 RECKONING LOOMS: WHAT TO KNOW

Eisenkot said he would invite lawmakers from across the political spectrum to join his government if they accepted those principles.

But even within the bloc seeking to replace Netanyahu, disagreements remain over how to secure the parliamentary support needed to govern.

One potentially significant development came Friday when Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the secular nationalist Yisrael Beitenu party, signaled a willingness to compromise on military conscription for ultra-Orthodox Jews, reversing a position that had long prevented political cooperation with religious parties.

In a statement posted on X, Lieberman argued that preventing another election and ending Netanyahu’s time in office would require difficult political compromises.

He identified three conditions: ending the Netanyahu era, avoiding another election and refusing to establish a government dependent on the abstention of the Joint List and Ra’am.

On other matters, including the contentious military draft law, Lieberman said political leaders must be prepared to compromise.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU'S LEGACY AND POLITICAL FUTURE ON THE LINE IN ISRAEL'S OCT 27 ELECTION

The shift could open a path to negotiations with United Torah Judaism, whose seven lawmakers withheld their recommendation from Netanyahu despite the party’s long standing political alliance with him.

United Torah Judaism leader Yaakov Asher welcomed Lieberman's flexibility Friday, but said his party had not yet received a concrete proposal and that any agreement would require approval from its religious leadership.

The conscription dispute remains a major obstacle. Ultra-Orthodox parties have sought legal protections for yeshiva students who study religious texts rather than serve in the military, while Eisenkot and several of his partners campaigned on expanding the obligation to serve.

Even bringing United Torah Judaism into the four-party opposition bloc would leave Eisenkot short of the 61 seats needed for an outright parliamentary majority. The religious Shas party, which holds six seats, recommended Netanyahu to Herzog.

A different possibility would be a minority government established with the help of abstentions from parties outside the coalition, an option discussed by Eisenkot’s allies but explicitly rejected by Lieberman if it depends on the Arab factions.

The disagreement exposes the central difficulty facing Eisenkot: although a majority of lawmakers recommended that he receive the first opportunity to form a government, they have not agreed on how such a government should be constituted.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu remains caretaker prime minister as the political negotiations continue.

The prime minister has also challenged aspects of the election results amid an investigation into suspected voting irregularities. However, Israel’s Central Elections Committee said the integrity of the election had not been compromised, according to Reuters on November 5.

For Eisenkot, receiving the presidential mandate would be an important political milestone. But turning his broad parliamentary endorsement into a functioning government will require agreements among parties divided over some of Israel’s most contentious domestic issues, particularly military service and cooperation with Arab lawmakers.

Failure to bridge those divisions could leave Israel facing further political deadlock — and potentially another election.

Dustin Hoffman is opening up about the "terrible experience" he had while filming "The Graduate," a film he said "exacerbated all my insecurities from the start."

In a recent essay written for The New Yorker, the 89-year-old actor reflected on his experience making the film, which earned him his first Academy Award nomination and a BAFTA Award win, noting he "felt immediately uncomfortable" and "unworthy" on set.

"Here I was, playing a starring role in a movie by Mike Nichols, who was the director of the moment, but I felt like I had no right to be there," he wrote. "It was a terrible experience making the movie that changed my life."

He went on to explain that a lot of his time on set was spent wondering if director, Nichols, "was angry at me," because he was either "doing something wrong" or had finally noticed what Hoffman and "everybody else already knew, that he had miscast the lead in his film."

JOHN GOODMAN ADMITS HE FELT 'FRIGHTENED' AFTER THE SUDDEN FAME HE EXPERIENCED FROM 'ROSEANNE'

The "Rain Man" star felt he was wrong for the part from the start, admitting he "didn't even want to try out for the part," saying he thought "it was obvious" to him after reading the novel the film is based on "that I was all wrong for Benjamin."

"A track star and straight-A student, the head of the debate team—this was an affluent, all-American kid, whose surname was ‘Braddock,’" he said. "Why would you cast a person who looks as ethnic as I do to play the ultimate Wasp? It made absolutely no sense." 

Part of what made the experience so bad for Hoffman was his relationship with the director, who he said was "irritable with everyone," and was "frequently sour" on set.

The director's attitude often led to Hoffman feel "that I was about to be fired," as the actor found himself "thinking, I have no f- - -ing idea what I'm doing," while filming some of the most well-known scenes in the movie.

Hoffman also recalled feeling as if the director had a "certain sadism" that was directed mostly towards him.

"There was a scene in which Katharine Ross had to slap me, and he made us do twenty-seven takes. The scene has Benjamin run into Elaine’s room, soaking wet from the rain, to tell her that he’s had an affair with an older woman; within seconds, Elaine realizes the woman is her mother," he said. "Mike just kept telling Katharine to hit me, to hit me harder. Katharine worried she would hurt me, and I told her, ‘I’m O.K. Just don’t hit my ear.’ Unfortunately, she missed a few times. I was dizzy by the end of that day, and Mike didn’t even use the slap in the film."

The next day, Hoffman was scheduled to film a scene underwater, which left him with "blood trickling out of my ear," which later turned out to be a punctured eardrum.

"The Graduate" went on to become one of Hoffman's most well-known films. The movie follows Hoffman's character, Benjamin, a recent college graduate who is struggling to find direction post graduation and is seduced by an older housewife and friend of his parents.

Following its release in 1967, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best actor for Hoffman and best actress for Anne Bancroft, and ultimately earned Nichols a statue for best director.

Army is taking "boots on the ground" to another level, according to their fans.

Fox's Big Noon Kick-off visited West Point ahead of their matchup against rival Air Force Academy . One Army student had a sign that stood out above the rest, making Mark Ingram II take notice and chest bump him. The sign said, "The Forward Pass is Communist."

In case you weren't aware, Army football doesn't just favor running the football, the Black Knights practically treat the forward pass like it's anti-American. They essentially wage war against the forward pass. Army consistently ranks among the nation's leaders in rushing attempts and rushing yards while sitting near the bottom in passing volume.

WHO'S REALLY PLAYED THE BEST THUS FAR THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON?

Rather than airing it out, the Black Knights rely on quarterback keepers, fullback dives and option pitches to grind down opposing defenses, dominate time of possession and keep the clock moving. It's old-school, smash mouth football, which I'm sure gets the boomers to say, "Now this is the football I grew up with!"

Through eight games in 2026, Army leads the entire FBS in rushing yards per game (342.5), piling up 2,740 yards on 431 rushing attempts, an average of 53.9 carries per game. That's a whopping 6.4 yards per carry and 31 rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, the passing game is practically nonexistent. Army ranks 137th out of 138 FBS teams in passing yards per game (69.1) , attempting just 85 passes all season — a measly 10.6 per game, the second-fewest in the country behind Air Force. The Black Knights have thrown for just four touchdowns compared to 31 on the ground, with nearly 83% of their offensive plays coming on rushing attempts.

While most college programs are obsessed with throwing the ball all over the field, Army has a much simpler philosophy: Why throw the football when you can run it down your opponent's throat?

Army (5-3) hosts Air Force (6-2) on Saturday at Michie Stadium in West Point, New York, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The matchup is part of the annual Commander-in-Chief's Trophy competition, with Army looking for its fourth consecutive victory over the Falcons in a battle featuring the nation's top two rushing offenses.
