PHILADELPHIA (AP) Matvei Michkov and Porter Martone each had a goal and an assist, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Ottawa Senators 3-1 on Saturday night for their first victory this season. Philadelphia (1-6-3) opened with nine consecutive losses, a franchise record. Michkov set up Martone with a nifty pass to the far post, and Martone tapped in his second goal this season at 9:03 of the second period to tie the score 1-all. Martone returned the favor on a power play late in the period, firing a shot toward the net that Ottawa goalie Linus Ullmark stopped. But the rebound went right to Michkov, who snapped home his fourth goal of the season at 18:33. It was the 50th career goal for Michkov in 171 games. He became the fastest Flyers player to reach the milestone since Matt Read in 2014. Trevor Zegras added an empty-net goal with 14 seconds left in the third to seal it. Philadelphia scored three goals for the first time this season after entering the game with just 11 total in its first nine games. Dan Vladar made 25 saves for the Flyers. Drake Batherson scored Ottawa's goal on a 2-on-1 in the first period, one-timing a pass from ex-Flyer Claude Giroux past Vladar.

Calcified peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common health condition associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Endovascular procedures have become more common in treating these lesions, and plain balloon angioplasty (PBA) is often used for vessels with mild-to-moderate calcification. However, decreased vascular compliance in heavily calcified vessels leads to poorer outcomes and higher complication risk. Intravascular shockwave lithotripsy is a more novel endovascular management option. It uses a specially designed balloon catheter to create shockwaves in an attempt to modify and increase compliance of the calcified plaque. This review aims to assess the safety profile and efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The currently available literature shows that use of IVL for calcified PAD has a good safety profile and low complication rate. Intravascular lithotripsy has also been shown to be more effective in treating patients with calcified PAD as compared to PBA alone. Whilst short-term and mid-term results are promising, there is a scarcity of published long-term data. Hence, further long-term data is required before a definitive conclusion can be drawn.

US secretary of state says Ukraine has requested access to military-grade version of Starlink for strikes deep inside Russia. United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said Starshield, the military-grade version of the Starlink satellite service, is currently unavailable to Ukraine, but a request from Kyiv to access the system for attacks deep inside Russia is “under discussion”. Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Rubio stressed Starshield’s distinction with Starlink, the internet service provided by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown form of magnetism, overturning an understanding of magnetic behavior that had stood for more than a century. The discovery, known as altermagnetism, has revealed a third fundamental category of collinear magnetism and opened new possibilities for quantum materials, advanced electronics, and future computing technologies. Three physicists responsible for the breakthrough have been named recipients of the 2026 Europhysics Prize, one of Europe's most prestigious honors in condensed matter physics. The European Physical Society (EPS) Condensed Matter Division selected Professor Jairo Sinova of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), Dr. Libor Šmejkal, and Professor Tomas Jungwirth for their work establishing altermagnetism as a distinct form of magnetic order alongside ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV thanked thousands of faithful in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday for their prayers while he was hospitalized for an operation to remove a malignant tumor, and said he plans to gradually return to his usual duties. The crowd erupted in cheers when the pontiff showed himself in the window overlooking the square, where a week ago on the same occasion of the traditional Angelus blessing he revealed that a nodule had been located on his lung, and that it would be surgically removed.

Four great love stories, and four completely different ideas of what love actually is. One is a friendship that took twelve years to admit itself. One is two people who refuse to stop competing. One happens entirely behind closed doors. And one lasts five days and never stops mattering. Eight questions decide which one is really yours. The first scene tells you what kind of story this is going to be.

Babies who are smaller than expected at birth tend to have poorer school performances as teenagers, a study has found. More than 92,000 children were followed from infancy to adolescence, all of whom were born at full term, between 37 and 41 weeks pregnant. The researchers at the University of Warwick found that children who weighed less than most babies of the same sex, born at the same stage of pregnancy, tended to achieve lower scores in subjects like mathematics and reading. The differences were still apparent in adolescence, suggesting that the link between size at birth and academic performance persists well beyond early childhood into mid-teens. "For babies born at term, being small for their stage of pregnancy may indicate adverse effects on the brain that affect learning and last into adolescence," Prof Dieter Wolke said. However, he said the long-term effects of being born small may be altered by parenting home stimulation and school support.

Between 550,000 and 800,000 people took to the streets of France on Saturday, mostly peacefully and often unaware of the unprecedented violence breaking out in some of the country's major cities. Limoges city hall went up in flames, as did the iconic tourist office on Place Bellecour in Lyon. Vandals also forced their way into town halls in Marseille, Lille, and Angers, whilst in Bordeaux, the prefect's residence was ransacked.

Some things were just made to go together: hats and scarves, tomato and mozzarella, black holes and ... well, just about anything that wanders too close. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Hummer are another, and for car enthusiasts, it's perhaps the most important pairing of the lot. You see, back in the late 1970s, the U. S. Military wanted to replace its aging fleet of Jeeps with an all-new vehicle — something brawnier and more capable. That vehicle would come to be known as the High-Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (abbreviated as HMMWV, and eventually stylized as Humvee), built and supplied by defense contractor AM General. Its career since has probably made it the most American vehicle there is.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is the better all-round phone on measured results, because it outlasted the Pixel 11 Pro XL in two independent battery tests, ran about 40% faster in single-core benchmarks and adds a 3x lens and an S Pen. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is the pick for buyers who care most about a bright screen, a 42MP selfie camera, built-in magnets and cheaper 512GB or 1TB storage, and since Samsung raised its US prices on October 1, it is also the cheaper phone at list price. Memeburn has not tested either phone, so every measured figure below is credited to the lab that produced it. That price change is why this comparison needed redoing. Most comparisons published in August put both phones at $1,299, but the Galaxy S26 Ultra now lists at $1,399.99 for 256GB after Samsung added $100 to its 256GB and 512GB models and $200 to the 1TB model, according to Android Authority. Street prices then move in the opposite direction, which is why the table separates list prices from what Amazon charged in October.

Thai police arrested a 37-year-old Chinese man wanted by authorities in China for alleged involvement in an international crime network and money laundering. Investigators said the network handled more than 500 million yuan ($75 million) in transactions, Thai media Khaosod English reported in a post on X on Saturday. Police alleged the suspect was involved in cryptocurrency and foreign-currency exchanges for criminal groups across more than 133 accounts. They also claimed that he was involved in arranging visas for members of international crime groups linked to other money-laundering cases. Investigators said he attempted to evade arrest by using forged documents to report his residence and changing vehicle registration plates before police found him in a luxury house in Bangkok. His Thai visa had expired more than three years ago, so he will face legal proceedings before authorities coordinate his return to China to face the outstanding warrant.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday that President Donald Trump's waiver of sweeping sanctions and tariffs on Russia would be a 60-day pause to "analyze" their impact on the global economy. "The president wants to take the 60-day period of time to sort of analyze what imposing both sanctions and tariffs will mean to the global economy and even to the US economy," Rubio said, noting that the economic restrictions involved a number of countries, not just Russia.
