President Donald Trump celebrated news on Monday that an alumni group from West Point canceled an award ceremony set to honor Tom Hanks, with the president calling the famous actor "destructive" and "WOKE."

Hanks was scheduled to receive the 2025 Sylvanus Thayer Award on Sept. 25, but the U.S. Military Academy's alumni association canceled the ceremony last week, according to news reports.

The coach of Israel's national soccer team says he is "standing behind my country" amid calls for the team to be suspended from international competition because of the war in Gaza, adding that "we are in a very complicated situation."

Israel "hosts" Italy in neutral Hungary in a World Cup qualifier Monday and the Italian Soccer Coaches' Association said last month that it had written a formal letter calling for Israel to be suspended.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou is making a last-ditch effort to save his job, urging lawmakers expected to topple him in a confidence vote later Monday to back his plans to curb France's debts that he said are "submerging us."

In an impassioned speech to the National Assembly, the 74-year-old stuck to his position that France's spiraling public deficit and mounting debts are threatening the future of the European Union's second-largest economy. He said state debts will weigh on future generations, leave France vulnerable to foreign creditors, and undermine its cherished social safety nets if not brought under control.

Israel struck and destroyed another high-rise building in Gaza City on Monday after warning residents to evacuate, part of an offensive aimed at taking over the largest Palestinian city. The military said it was targeting Hamas observation posts and bombs placed around the 12-story office building.

It has ordered people to flee ahead of its ground offensive into the city of some 1 million residents, which experts say is experiencing famine.

A drone fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels breached Israel's multilayered air defenses on Sunday and slammed into the country's southern airport, the Israeli military said, blowing out glass windows, wounding one person and briefly shutting down commercial airspace.

Taylor Swift is very likely not aware of it, but she's considered a good luck charm for the Brazilian football team hosting Friday's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers.

The unlikely connection between the pop superstar — whose fiancé is Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — and one of the most popular clubs in football-mad Brazil lies in the release date of her albums dating to 2006. Corinthians has gone unbeaten in all but one game played right before each album release since then and all but one right after.
