Top Chinese and US economic officials on Sunday hashed out the framework of a trade deal for US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to decide on later this week that would pause steeper American tariffs and Chinese rare earths export controls, US officials said.

As well as he ran, it was his TD pass that was the highlight.

The NFL saw an offensive explosion among nine teams between Thursday and Sunday as at least 30 points were scored by the clubs in their matchups.

All of the talk about Aaron Rodgers playing the Green Bay Packers went out of the window thanks to Jordan Love and Tucker Kraft on Sunday night.

The referees called it “forward progress,” but the Giants called it something more profane. With the score of Sunday’s game against the Eagles tied early in the second quarter, Jalen Hurts tried a Tush Push on fourth-and-inches. He crossed the first-down marker, but Kayvon Thibodeaux ripped the ball out of Hurts’ hands.

Three Chinese nationals were arrested in Georgia for allegedly trying to buy uranium in a foiled smuggling plot involving plans to route it through Russia.

Another desperate opponent, another disappointing defeat.

The former Mets co-ace has already earned rings with the Nationals and Rangers over that stretch. If Scherzer is going to add a piece of Blue Jays hardware to his collection, it would behoove him to contribute Monday night, when he is scheduled to face the Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series.

Burevestnik stayed in air for 15 hours, defence minister tells Vladimir Putin; Ukrainian drones close Moscow airports. What we know on day 1,342

• See all our Ukraine war coverage

Vladimir Putin claimed Russia had successfully tested its Burevestnik cruise missile – said to be both powered by a nuclear engine and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It has been called a “flying Chornobyl” by arms control experts because it is powered by a nuclear reactor and, depending on the design, potentially spews out radioactive exhaust as it flies.

On the weekend, Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, told Putin the missile travelled 14,000km (8,700 miles) and was in the air for about 15 hours when it was tested on 21 October. The Burevestnik has been dubbed the SSC-X-9 Skyfall by Nato. Russia has regularly threatened that the Ukraine war could go nuclear, for example if allies join Ukraine on the battlefield or provide it with long-range strike weapons as they have done.

A major nuclear accident in August 2019 killed five Russian scientists who were suspected to have been working on the Burevestnik or something similar. The incident released radiation into surrounding areas. That November, awarding posthumous decorations to the victims’ families, Putin said they had been working on an “unparalleled” weapon.

Ukrainian drones forced the closure of Moscow’s Domodedovo airport and the smaller Zhukovsky airport, Russian authorities said early on Monday. Russian defence units downed 28 drones from Sunday night into Monday morning, said the mayor of the Russian capital, Sergei Sobyanin. There was no information about damage. Russia rarely discloses the full scale of damage inflicted by Ukrainian strikes inside its territory unless civilian objects are involved. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Kyiv has said that its attacks aim to destroy infrastructure key to Moscow’s war effort.

US sanctions on Russia’s oil industry had an immediate effect, writes Jill Ambrose. Within hours, there was a 6% rise in the global oil price and reports were emerging of an immediate pause of Russian oil deliveries to the biggest refineries in India, Moscow’s biggest crude customer, and to China’s biggest state-owned oil companies. Luke Wickenden, an analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea), said: “If Moscow lost access to these markets, it could forfeit approximately $7.4bn in monthly revenue, translating to roughly $3.6bn in tax receipts per month flowing directly into the Kremlin’s war chest … If India alone were to cut its imports of Russian crude, the Kremlin could lose roughly $1.6bn in monthly tax revenues.”

Putin’s top economic envoy has attempted to blame others after US-Russia relations chilled, the US imposed sanctions and Donald Trump cancelled a foreshadowed meeting in Budapest with the Russian ruler. Kirill Dmitriev alleged there had been “titanic attempts” to thwart US-Russia dialogue as he arrived in the US to meet members of the Trump administration. Trump initially gave a glowing assessment of his most recent conversation with Putin and said they would meet in Budapest. But a few days later, as Putin showed no sign of making concessions to end the war, Trump said the meeting would be a “waste of time” and he was personally disappointed at the Russian president.

The result falls short of giving Milei a congressional majority but has been widely described as surprising by Argentinian analysts

The party of Argentina’s far-right president, Javier Milei, has won Sunday’s midterm elections after a campaign in which US president Donald Trump announced a $40bn bailout for the country and made continued aid conditional on the victory of his Argentinian counterpart.

With more than 95% of ballots counted, Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza, won 40.84% of the nationwide vote in an election widely seen as a de facto referendum on the self-styled anarcho-capitalist’s nearly two years in power.
