Now, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are fast becoming household names and the next generation-defining rivalry. However, Sinner and Alcaraz – ranked No. Due to their rapid success, it is easy to forget that Sinner is only 23 and Alcaraz just 21. Sinner hits a shot in the semifinals of the US Open, a tournament he went on to win. Time will tell if Sinner can put that ice-cold instinct to good use at the ATP Finals and win the tournament for the first time.

When President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House in 2025, he will assume a key position within the U.S. economy. On the campaign trail, the former President promised to eliminate regulations that hold back key U.S. industries and extend tax cuts that expire after 2025. The President-elect has also promised to embark on a large deportation operation when he enters office. Analysts believe Trump's fiscal ideas could influence the trajectory of employment, inflation, and more in the U.S. -- particularly if the Republican party wins both chambers of Congress. Watch the video above to see how the U.S. economy may change under President-elect Trump.

CNN —Protesters and police clashed in the streets of Valencia in eastern Spain on Saturday, as tens of thousands of people marched to demand the regional president resign over his response to floods that killed more than 220 people. Elsewhere in the city several buildings were vandalized, according to the Valencia mayor, though there have been no reports of serious injuries. Demonstrators hold a banner reading 'Mazon Resignation' during a march on November 9 to protest against authorities' response to deadly flooding in Valencia, Spain. The regional president, who according to some Spanish media reports was at a restaurant hours into the floods, has denied missing any calls prior to the floods turning catastrophic. More than 8,400 soldiers are taking part in the efforts, according to the Spanish government, along with divers searching near Valencia’s shore.

Nissan Motor shares slumped 6% in Tokyo trade Friday, a day after the Japanese automaker said it would cut 9,000 jobs and a fifth of its manufacturing capacity as it struggles with sales in China and the United States. It said restructuring would cut costs by 400 billion yen ($2.61 billion) in the financial year to the end of March. Nissan is also challenged in the US where it lacks a line-up of hybrids just as that vehicle type is in strong demand. On Friday, Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yoji Muto declined to comment to reporters when asked his views on potential government support for Nissan. “The company released its mid-term plan this spring, but in the end there was no meaning to that.

While Trump may not want to associate with that plan, it was formulated by his allies – at least 140 people associated with Project 2025 worked in Trump’s administration, according to a review by CNN’s Steve Contorno. Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller said on Fox News to expect deportations to begin the moment Trump is again president on January 20, 2025. Commonly referred to as “Schedule F,” Trump’s plan was to undo long-standing protections for nonpartisan civil servants. John McEntee, who was director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office during Trump’s first administration, worked on Project 2025, building a list of Trump loyalists suitable for administration roles.

Virtually every state also increased employee pay for public employees," said Justin Theal, a senior officer at The Pew Charitable Trusts' Fiscal 50 project. Emerging risks, including an aging population, deferred maintenance on infrastructure and more extreme weather threaten state budgets moving forward.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailWhy U.S. states are in financial troubleTwenty-seven U.S. states lack the cash to repay their debts, according to researchers at Truth in Accounting. The debts relate to public pension systems, which provide lifetime benefits to state and local government employees. About $800 billion in federal aid during the pandemic obfuscated the long-term challenges of states. As that extra aid expires economically powerful states are tightening their budgets. That could lead to tax hikes or cuts to public services like education and transportation.

The floods affected many economic sectors, including agriculture, industry, and services, it said. Local authorities on Sunday said that the heavy rains — part of a phenomenon known as "cold drops" — had caused "unprecedented" damage to infrastructure and human life. At a press conference on Tuesday, Sánchez declared Valencia a disaster area, paving the way for extra funding for local authorities.

Beata Zawrzel | Nurphoto | Getty ImagesWith Americans heading to the polls on Election Day, social media companies like Meta , TikTok, X and YouTube are under intense pressure to handle what's expected to be a flood of disinformation, heightened by the rise of artificial intelligence. The video amassed hundreds of thousands of views within hours after it was posted on Elon Musk's social media platform X. And TikTok failed to catch ads containing false election information despite its ban on political advertising, according to an October report from Global Witness. On Facebook and Instagram, Meta said it's adding fact-check labels to election content that's been debunked. In sharing dozens of posts a day on X, Musk regularly amplifies false election information to his more than 200 million followers.
