Ghana's president has placed his nation among international leaders working to counter false information while championing the role of free journalism during remarks at a gathering held on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2025, in Paris. John Dramani Mahama announced that Ghana became Africa's first country to provide funding for the International Fund for Public Interest Media. He described trustworthy reporting and independent newsrooms as essential elements for society.
Mahama backed the Paris Declaration on Multilateral Action for Information Integrity and Independent Media during the summit. Research from the Ghana Fact Checking Coalition revealed that more than one-fifth of election misinformation during the 2024 campaign targeted Mahama...
Chelsea climbed to fourth place after Joao Pedro broke his 10-match scoring slump with a composed chip that secured three points against Tottenham at their home stadium. The 24-year-old forward from Brazil capitalized when Moises Caicedo's relentless pressure caused Micky van de Ven to commit an error inside the penalty area. Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario twice denied Pedro additional goals before halftime through a low diving stop and a quick reflex save on a volleyed attempt.
Tottenham managed only three shots on target throughout the match and failed to generate an offensive rhythm. Mohamed Kudus produced their lone threat early with a long-range attempt that sailed high in the 33rd minute before testing Robert Sanchez during...
Real Madrid established a seven-point advantage atop La Liga after Kylian Mbappe's brace powered the club past Valencia at Santiago Bernabeu. The French striker converted a 19th-minute penalty after Franco Mastantuono's corner struck Cesar Tarrega's arm, then added his second goal 12 minutes later by volleying home Arda Guler's cross from the left flank. Jude Bellingham curled in a spectacular third before halftime, while Alvaro Carreras capped the scoring with an 82nd-minute strike from a narrow angle.
Vinicius Jr drew significant focus following his angry reaction to being substituted during last Sunday's El Clásico against Barcelona, when he bypassed Xabi Alonso and headed directly into the tunnel. The Brazilian forward started but...
Liverpool snapped a four-match winless run in the Premier League by defeating Aston Villa, with Mohamed Salah reaching a historic milestone by netting his 250th goal for the club. The 33-year-old forward capitalized when Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez mishandled a clearance during first-half stoppage time, allowing Salah to slot the ball into an empty net. Ryan Gravenberch, returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle problem, added a second goal in the 58th minute when his 20-yard attempt took a deflection off Pau Torres and beat Martinez.
Salah joined Ian Rush and Roger Hunt as the only Liverpool players to score 250 times across all competitions. Rush holds the club record with 346 goals, while Hunt finished with 285. Villa...
Patrick Vieira has departed from his position at Genoa after both sides reached an agreement to separate, leaving the club anchored at the bottom of Serie A without a single league victory this season. The former Arsenal midfielder, who assumed control in November 2024, oversaw a dismal campaign that produced just two wins in cup competition while accumulating six losses across nine league matches.
Vieira, 49, reportedly started conversations with club officials on Friday evening that led to the mutual split. His first season had shown promise as he rescued Genoa from 17th place through eight victories and nine draws in 26 appearances, securing a 13th-place finish. However, five defeats in the last six Serie A contests sealed his fate...
Ghana women's coach Kim Lars Björkegren acknowledges his Black Queens are closing in on continental rival Nigeria but recognizes the Super Falcons remain Africa's premier side. The Swedish manager led Ghana to third place at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, marking the squad's finest result in over 10 years, and recently booked passage to the 2026 competition following a dominant 7-0 aggregate triumph against Egypt.
Björkegren accepts Nigeria's current supremacy, noting their record 10 WAFCON championships and most recent title defense. However, he sees promise despite Ghana's 3-1 friendly loss to the Super Falcons. The coach believes his team controlled early proceedings before Nigeria's clinical finishing shifted...

Forest mounted a dramatic comeback within two minutes during the second half. Captain Morgan Gibbs-White powered past Amad to convert Ryan Yates' cross from the right flank.

Ruben Amorim's squad...
Arsenal maintained their strong position atop the Premier League standings with a dominant performance against Burnley, securing their ninth straight win across all competitions. The Gunners netted twice through Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice to claim their fifth consecutive league victory and establish a seven-point cushion at the summit, though several rivals have matches in hand.
Mikel Arteta's squad proved too powerful for Burnley despite the hosts entering with consecutive wins and a reputation for defensive resilience. Arsenal's prowess from dead-ball situations continued as Gyokeres converted from a short distance after Rice delivered a corner kick. Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka made a spectacular one-handed stop to deny Bukayo...
