College Football rewards us after a long work week with a full day of games kicking off early at 12:00 ET and running the rest of the day. Fanatics is trying to reward new users with $350 in FanCash on a $20 wager when using promo code FOXNEWS350.

The fun starts early this week with Alabama coming into Mississippi State with a 12:00 ET kickoff. The Crimson Tide are 4-0 and have looked better each week. The team started the season with a win over East Carolina, winning 48-10. Then they had to travel to Kentucky and face the Wildcats. It was no contest with a 45-17 win. 

The past two weeks have been slightly more difficult to win, but nothing nail-biting. They faced FSU and post a season-high 50 points. They won by two scores, so it still wasn’t a close game. South Carolina visited last week, and Alabama rolled to a 31-point victory. 

Mississippi State has been climbing the rankings all season. They have a Hiesman trophy candidate under center, and they are 4-0 to start the year. They’ve even had a few tests this season. In Week 1, they faced University of Louisiana Monroe and crushed them with a 62-13 victory. Week 2 was another win, but a tougher opponent in Minnesota. 

Week 3 brought them to South Carolina. The Bulldogs won the game, but it was by just one touchdown and they allowed 34 points to the Gamecocks. You have to assume their defense isn’t quite as good as Alabama’s. Last week, they hosted Missouri, a ranked team, and escaped with a 31-24 victory. 

Tonight should be a fun game between the two ranked teams. A win for Alabama could show some further progress in their season. A win for Mississippi State could be the exclamation point on what has been a solid season. One win for new bettors comes from Fanatics Sportsbook and their offer of $350 in FanCash when wagering $20 using promo code FOXNEWS350.

New video shows the moment that police arrested Luigi Mangione in a Pennsylvania McDonald's. Mangione pleaded guilty to federal charges in the killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The co-pilot of the FlyDubai plane who allegedly attacked the plane's captain and attempted to crash a flight bound for Israel on Wednesday is an Omani national who was previously suspended from flying by Oman Air after being identified as a security risk, according to senior intelligence and law enforcement officials.

Multiple sources familiar with the investigation identified the suspected attacker as 29-year-old Hamam Al Hammami.

The officials told ABC News that Al Hammami, while working as a co-pilot trainee for Oman Air in 2024, was found to be in possession of extremist materials. The suspect was allowed to continue working for the airline in an administrative role, the sources said.

United Arab Emirates Attorney General Hamad Saif Al Shamsi on Saturday said the aircraft's co-pilot had attempted to carry out a terrorist act and that he began executing his plan during the flight by assaulting the pilot inside the cockpit using a crash axe and attempted to seize control of the aircraft's controls, according to WAM state news agency.

This is the first confirmation by UAE authorities that the co-pilot had attacked the captain and identified the weapon used as a crash axe. Previous UAE statements had described the incident as a security incident and said an investigation was underway to determine whether it involved terrorist activity or prior planning.

The attorney general stressed that investigations are still ongoing to establish all the circumstances and motives surrounding the incident, as well as any related links. He added that technical examinations and the analysis of physical and digital evidence are also being completed, with the final findings to be announced once the necessary procedures have been concluded.

Officials investigating the incident are still trying to determine how the suspected attacker was subsequently permitted to fly for FlyDubai and how he ended up as the first officer in the cockpit of a plane headed for Israel, the sources said.

Al Hammami -- who was transferred Thursday from Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates -- is said to be "cooperating" with authorities investigating the incident and has indicated that his intent was to crash the aircraft in Israel, according to sources briefed on the investigation.

"We recognise that there are many questions at this stage; however, the circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation," FlyDubai said in a statement obtained by ABC News on Saturday. "We are therefore not in a position to comment further beyond our published statements. We remain fully committed to supporting the ongoing investigation and are in close coordination with the relevant government authorities and regulators."

Representatives for Oman Air and the Omani Embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News.

FlyDubai issued a statement earlier Friday, attributed to its chief executive officer, saying that, at the request of the authorities, FlyDubai had "temporarily suspended operations to Tel Aviv until further notice," and saying "a full official investigation, led by the relevant authorities and fully supported by flydubai, is underway." 

A disaster was averted when the flight's captain, Smit Machchhar, fought back and a number of passengers subdued and restrained the attacker, who had sent the plane into a rapid dive.

One of the passengers, Israeli plumber Yaniv Hayoun, said he pulled back on the controls to steady the plane until a third pilot, who was traveling in the passenger cabin, took over. The flight eventually landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

One of the passengers who ran to the front of the plane, Dr. Shota Musaev, told ABC News in an interview this week that the attacker -- who was bloodied and restrained on the floor outside the cockpit -- told him he was from Oman. Musaev said that at one point the suspect asked Musaev to kill him.

"He said, 'Kill me please, kill me please,'" Musaev said.

Israeli officials are expected to be on the ground and involved in the questioning of Al Hammami, sources said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday said that the suspected attacker, who he didn't name, had undergone "Islamist radicalization."

"He came to crash the plane with all passengers on board," Netanyahu said in a video released by his office. "We are investigating whether he was sent, and whoever sent him will pay a very heavy price."

Netanyahu also again heaped praise on Hayoun and the other heroic passengers for preventing a "tragedy like 9/11."

A threadbare internet biography page believed to belong to the suspect indicated that he had studied aviation management at a British university and engineering at an Australian university.

A source at the Buckinghamshire New University confirmed that Al Hammami completed a three-year distance-learning course and graduated with a degree in aviation management in 2023. The source stressed that Al Hammami did not take any pilot training at the school.

Royal Air Maroc -- Morocco's national carrier -- confirmed to ABC News that Al Hammami completed a three-month theoretical training period with the airline in 2025 as part of its pre-employment process. At the end of the training, he was not selected for employment, the airline confirmed, but it wouldn't say why.

A representative for the school in Australia declined to comment and referred an inquiry from ABC News to the Australian federal police.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter in the assassination attempt at President Donald Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13, 2024, sent a series of strangely coded text messages in the months leading up to the shooting, according to records obtained by Judicial Watch.

"Did you 3D print the parts?" an individual the FBI described as an "unknown contact," messaged Crooks on Feb. 9, 2023.

"Yes, except for the fan blades," Crooks responded.

"Woah that looks cool," the unknown contact replied to Crooks, also asking about the "parts" in response to a Crooks message which the FBI redacted.

Other information Judicial Watch received from the FBI documents included a notification from shipping company DHL about a package Crooks received from Hong Kong.

Some of the best games each week are between the top 25 teams in the country. Sometimes they are blowouts, but sometimes they are great battles. Tonight we have Florida taking on Missouri, and Fanatics is offering new users a chance to bet $20 and receive $350 when wagering on the game with code FOXNEWS350.

Florida is one of the best teams in the country and is coming off an absolutely dominating performance against a fellow top-10 team. The Gators rocked Ole Miss one week after the Rebels made a statement win against LSU. The final score was 52-28, showing just how great Florida was.

They did have a bit of a tougher time with Auburn when the two teams played each other in Week 3. Auburn still dropped the game, but kept it close. The Gators won 44-39, and the 44 points were the fewest they’ve had all season. The 39 points were also the most allowed this year.

Missouri is 3-1 for the season and coming off a loss to Mississippi State last week. In Week 4, they had to travel to play the Bulldogs, and they lost the game 31-24. It wasn’t a terrible game, but they just couldn’t pull it out. A win here would vault them up the list of top-25 teams in the nation.

The three wins that Missouri has this season are against Arkansas Pine Bluff, Kansas and Troy. Kansas is likely the only decent team they’ve faced. It can be hard to judge a team until they start playing real competition. Florida is definitely a challenge they want to conquer.

This matchup between Florida and Missouri kicks off this afternoon at 3:30 ET. Be prepared for the game with promo code FOXNEWS350 on Fanatics and receive $350 in FanCash on a $20 wager.

College football has some of the best action we will get this weekend, not just in volume but in matchups, and one that stands out is Notre Dame vs. North Carolina. To get in on today’s action, Fanatics Sportsbook is offering you $350 when you wager $20 or more using promo code FOXNEWS350.

For the season, Notre Dame is 4-0 and comes into the game as the third-best team in the country according to polls. This year’s schedule hasn’t been a challenge yet, but it is possible they have some tough games ahead, including this one. Their offense has rolled, and their defense has been crisp.

The question is whether wins over Wisconsin, Rice, Michigan State and Purdue are good enough to judge just how dominant this Fighting Irish team is. You could make an argument that Wisconsin and Purdue are the better teams they’ve faced, but they had no trouble winning a combined 90-23 over those two teams.

North Carolina is 2-1 for the season, and if you want a reason to bet on them, it is because Bill Belichick is the coach, and he has had an extra week to prepare. They still don’t look like a dominant program, and there seems to have been more off-field storylines than on-field production. 

However, if you think the Tar Heels can prepare a plan to stop Notre Dame, having an extra week would certainly be helpful. In their three games, they have beaten TCU in the first game, then took down East Tennessee State. Before the bye week, they lost to Clemson 28-20. 

Fightin’ Irish or Tar Heels, you make the call. With Fanatics Sportsbook, you can take a shot on either or something else in the game and wager $20 with promo code FOXNEWS350 to earn $350 in FanCash.

There are only a few games this week between ranked teams, but the ones we get are very good, including the Iowa vs. Ohio State game. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet $20 and receive $350 in FanCash when betting on the Iowa vs. Ohio State game.

We know that Ohio State is one of the best teams in the country, but they’ve already had one blemish on their schedule. To open the year, they beat Ball State by 53 points. Then in Week 2 they had a showdown with Texas. After controlling the first half, Ohio State blew the lead in the second, losing 24-23. The Buckeyes took out their frustration on Kent State the following week, winning 59-3. Last week, they hosted Illinois and won the game 42-19. 

Quarterback Julian Sayin has looked solid throughout his four games. He has 10 touchdowns and 1,206 passing yards. He does have one interception on his resume. The running game features a combination of backs, but the leader is Bo Jackson with 283 yards on 50 carries. Jeremiah Smith has hauled in seven touchdown passes for the Buckeyes. 

Iowa has had one of the harder schedules of anyone in the Big 10, but so far, they haven’t had any issues. They are 4-0, having beaten Northern Illinois 40-0 to start the year. In Week 2, Iowa State University came to their field, and they won 16-13, a tight battle. It wouldn’t be the last of the season.

In Week 3, Northern Iowa was shut out by the Hawkeyes, with Iowa coasting to a 55-0 win. Last week was a tough battle as they played Michigan and beat the Wolverines 20-19. This time, they got the last-second touchdown. They must now regroup after an emotional victory and try to beat Ohio State. 

This should be a great Big 10 battle, and you can enjoy the game with the promotion from Fanatics Sportsbook, offering $350 in FanCash for a $20 wager on the Iowa vs. Ohio State game.

You’re presented with choices every day, and some are easier than others. You have the option of 53 games to bet on this Saturday in college football, and Underdog is giving you an opportunity to play $5 and earn $100 in bonus bets on the college football game of your choice using code FOXNEWS.

While ranked matchups are always fun to watch, there are some other great games on the schedule worth paying attention to, including Notre Dame vs. North Carolina and Auburn vs. Tennessee.

Notre Dame comes into this game as the 3rd-ranked team in the nation. Skeptics would say that the team hasn’t faced anyone this year, and there is a case to be made. They’ve played Wisconsin, Rice, Michigan State, and Purdue in their four games. They are 4-0 and have outscored their opponents 199-33 in those games. Clearly, their offense is rolling, but perhaps defensive genius Bill Belichick can stop them. 

North Carolina is 2-1 for the season and had a bye week to prepare for this game. They started the season overseas and played TCU for the second straight year. However, this year’s game went differently, with the Tar Heels winning 15-10. Then they beat East Tennessee State before losing 28-20 to Clemson two weeks ago. With extra time to prepare, can they find a way to slow down Notre Dame?

Auburn comes into this game with a 3-1 record, including a 1-1 mark in the SEC. They’ve had some challenging games and have looked solid in all four contests. They started the year narrowly beating Baylor, winning 17-16. Then they played Southern Miss and won by 35 points. Florida has looked like one of the best teams in the country, and Auburn hung with them. Last week, Auburn was able to win the game over Vanderbilt. 

Tennessee matches Auburn's record, and they are currently 17th in the nation. They didn’t have a very tough schedule to start the year, beating Furman by almost 50 points. The Volunteers then went to play Georgia Tech and won 45-24. Another blowout win over Kennesaw State set them up for their showdown last week with Texas. It was a close game, but ultimately they fell short. 

Those are just two of many great games on the docket for today. Use promo code FOXNEWS to bet $5 on Underdog to get a $10 bonus bet. You can repeat that process for 10 days until you get $100 worth of bonus bets. 

We’ve made it to College Football Week 5, and so far, the season has not been disappointing, with many great matchups. Betr is offering new users $200 in bonuses when using promo code FOXNEWS for any college football matchup today.

It isn’t a ranked matchup, but one game that stands out on the schedule today is the matchup between Miami and Clemson. Miami is the fourth-ranked team in the nation, and Clemson comes into the game needing a statement win this season. 

Miami ended their season just short of a National Championship last year, but they have picked up right where they left off. Their quarterback, Darian Mensah, looks like he could be this year’s Heisman winner. Leading his team to a 4-0 record, he has 14 touchdowns and 1,211 yards on 94-for-106 passing. 

The Miami ground game has been equally impressive. Mark Fletcher Jr. has three touchdowns, but also has 230 yards on just 36 carries this season. That doesn’t take into consideration that Javian Mallor has 226 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries, or that Chris Wheatley-Humphrey has a touchdown and 104 yards on 11 rushes. 

Clemson started their season against LSU, and they lost that game in rather embarrassing fashion. They lost 51-10, offering little fight and few positive takeaways. The next three games haven’t been all that tough, but they have won over Georgia Southern, North Carolina and Cal the past three weeks. 

Their team is led by Tait Reynolds, but he has left the team with more questions than answers this year. He is 54-for-84 for the season with 521 passing yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The running game has gone well, and Gideon Davidson is putting together a solid campaign with 346 yards and three touchdowns.

This is one of the better games on the slate tonight, despite what the spread is telling us. Betr is offering users a chance to get $200 in bonuses from a wager on any of the Saturday football games when using promo code FOXNEWS.

On October 7, 2023, my son Itay was nineteen, an American-Israeli soldier stationed at Nahal Oz protecting the border, when Hamas terrorists kidnapped and murdered him. They held his remains in Gaza for 760 days — deliberate, unimaginable psychological warfare against my family — before he was finally returned home in November 2025, the last American hostage. He was my son. He was an American. Most of his own country never learned his name, or the names of Judy Weinstein, Danielle Waldman or Carol Siman Tov.

That is why it was so meaningful that the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution, led by Senators Rick Scott and Jacky Rosen, honoring the 46 Americans murdered by Hamas during the October 7 war. For the first time, their names are written into the official record of the United States Senate. The resolution reaffirms America’s commitment to seek legal justice on behalf of our families, and it will be delivered to each of us by the Secretary of State.

Washington is finally stopping to remember. Families of the fallen will soon gather in the nation’s capital for "Honoring American Victims of Hamas Since October 7," the first time the U.S. government will formally recognize, in one room, its own citizens killed in the October 7 war. I have advocated for this day because most Americans have no idea their country endured one of the deadliest days of terrorism against its own citizens since September 11.

MY SON WAS ONE OF 46 AMERICANS MURDERED BY HAMAS. WE NEED A US INVESTIGATION

I am deeply grateful to Secretary of State Marco Rubio for stepping forward to host this memorial, and to the Howard and Allison Lutnick Foundation for their support. Together with the Senate’s vote, it tells grieving families something we have waited three years to hear: Washington sees us. These were not foreign casualties in someone else’s war. They were American sons, daughters and grandparents, murdered by extremists.

But what worries me most is this: a resolution and a ceremony must not become a "check the box" moment, after which Washington moves on. Acknowledgment is not healing. Recognition is not recovery. Our families need their country to act long after the cameras leave the room.

So I am asking Washington for three things.

First, pass the October 7th American Victims Family Support and Remembrance Act. It would give our families — most of whom live outside the United States — the same mental health support and medical rehabilitation Congress built for 9/11 families through the Zadroga Act, and authorize a permanent memorial to the fallen here in Washington. Grief without support is grief carried alone.

Second, Congress must establish a formal committee to investigate how nearly 50 of its own citizens came to be killed on October 7. This is not only about accountability — it is part of our families’ recovery. You cannot fully rehabilitate what you cannot explain, and three years later, our families still do not know how their loved ones were killed. Four Americans died in Benghazi and Congress ran eight investigations; nineteen died at Khobar Towers and the House investigated. Congress cannot defer to the Israeli government on understanding how its own citizens were killed. It should give the American people a clear accounting of how this happened, so that we can begin to heal.

Third, turn the Senate’s words into justice. As Senator Scott said this week, America "has a duty to secure justice" for its murdered citizens. The Department of Justice must keep pursuing everyone responsible for October 7 — the killers, and those who financed, armed and enabled them — until each one faces justice. Every terrorist should know that killing an American carries severe and lasting consequences. That is not vengeance. It is deterrence, and it is what protects the next American family from becoming mine.

This week, without a single objection, the Senate showed what any country owes its citizens killed by terrorists, and the families they left behind. I could not save my son. I can still demand that our country tell the truth about how this happened, work to prevent it from happening again, hold those responsible to account, and make sure no other American family has to search for that truth alone.

Police officers on a routine dive in Italy recently made an unusual discovery recently: ancient Roman artifacts resting on the seabed, 2,000 years later.

The artifacts were uncovered off the coast of Porto Rotondo in Sardinia, an Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea, news agency Cover Images reported.

The discovery was announced by the Sassari Police Headquarters in late August.

DIVERS UNCOVER HUNDREDS OF ANCIENT RELICS NEAR SHIPWRECK UNTOUCHED FOR 2,100 YEARS

The officers were based in Olbia, Sardinia. They spotted the ancient objects while conducting an underwater safety operation.

They first noticed a piece of broken terracotta — prompting them to return for a second dive, when they discovered the largely intact vessels.

The find led divers to conduct a more detailed search of the area for other archaeological objects.

"Careful dredging action allowed the identification and subsequent recovery of three intact terracotta artifacts, specifically a transport basin, along with other minor items," officials said, as Cover Images noted.

"The artifacts were recorded and made available to the competent Archaeological Superintendent."

In the ancient world, amphorae were used to transport a variety of materials, including wine, olive oil and grain.

Police said the artifacts appear to date to the period spanning the fall of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire.

"From a preliminary analysis, it is hypothesized that the items may date back to a time frame between the second half of the 1st century B.C. and the 1st century A.D., with a potential origin area that can be linked to Lazio, Campania or the Iberian Peninsula," officials said, according to Cover Images.

Looking ahead, specialists will examine the vessels to glean more information about them, including their precise age and origin.

Researchers will also determine whether the vessels came from a larger archaeological site — and if more artifacts await discovery.

Though extraordinary, such discoveries are not unheard of in Italy.

Earlier this year, Italian authorities announced the discovery of a Roman merchant shipwreck still carrying its cargo of amphorae in the Ionian Sea.

At the time, officials said the shipwreck had been discovered off the coast of Apulia during a routine maritime patrol in June 2025. 

The vessel was dated to the late Imperial era, which spanned roughly 284 A.D. to 641 A.D.
