The Big 12 has two teams in the top 10 of the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll for the first time in two years. Notre Dame is back in the top 10 after a two-month absence. Oklahoma and Texas have made significant upward moves. The top seven teams remain unchanged, with Ohio State at No. 1 for the 10th straight week.

Oklahoma and Texas received seven-spot promotions for their wins on Saturday.

Four suspects in the Louvre jewels heist have been charged and jailed. Three are believed to be part of the team that broke into the museum. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau noted their apparent closeness. Two were previously convicted in a 2015 theft case. The jewelry remains missing and a fourth suspect is still at large. Authorities are also investigating who might have ordered the crime. Details about the suspects are limited due to French law. The suspects face preliminary charges related to theft by an organized gang and criminal conspiracy.

Voters in North Macedonia have gone to the polls in local election runoffs. There are 81 municipalities in North Macedonia, with runoffs in 37 taking place on Sunday, including the capital, Skopje. The ruling conservatives are expected to cement their landslide victory from the first round. VMRO-DPMNE candidates won 33 out of 44 mayoral contests on Oct. 19, leaving the opposition Social Democrats trailing. Conservative candidates are leading in almost all contests. In Skopje, issues like garbage collection have overshadowed promises about the economy, jobs and education. Just over 1 million people are eligible to vote in the runoffs.

Millions of low-income families may face delays in receiving home heating aid due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. The federally funded heating and cooling assistance program, known as LIHEAP, serves 5.9 million households. Many of these families are also at risk of losing federal food benefits. States like Pennsylvania and Minnesota have warned applicants about potential delays in receiving heating benefits this winter. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services blames the delay and government shutdown on congressional Democrats. As temperatures drop, advocates worry the delay could have serious impacts on vulnerable households.

Hellen Obiri of Kenya set a women’s course record to win the New York City Marathon while compatriot Benson Kipruto won the men’s race by edging Alexander Mutiso by three-hundredths of a second. Obiri, who also won the race in 2023, finished in 2 hours, 19 minutes and 51 seconds. She was running with 2022 winner Sharon Lokedi until Obiri pulled away in the final mile and won by 16 seconds to best the course record set by Margaret Okayo in 2003. Defending champion Sheila Chepkirui finished third. Kipruto finished in 2:08.40. The photo finish between Kipruto and Mutiso topped the 2005 race that was decided by a second. Albert Korir was third, giving Kenya a sweep of the top three spots in both races.

Newark airport in New Jersey was experiencing delays of two to three hours on Sunday.

Other delays were being reported at major airports in Los Angeles and Miami.

The movie exhibition business is wrapping up one of its slowest Octobers in over 25 years with a sluggish Halloween weekend. Studios avoided major new releases with Halloween on a Friday. Instead, several re-releases hit theaters, including “Back to the Future” for its 40th anniversary. Universal’s “Black Phone 2” and Paramount’s “Regretting You” both claimed the top spot, with “Regretting You” ultimately taking it with $8.1 million. The Netflix phenomenon “KPop Demon Hunters” was also back in theaters, though it wasn't as successful as its run in August. The month’s total ticket sales are the lowest since 1998, excluding October 2020 during the pandemic.

President Donald Trump says Chinese President Xi Jinping has given him assurances that Beijing would take no action toward its long-stated goal of unifying Taiwan with mainland China while the Republican leader is in office. Trump said in an interview with CBS' program “60 Minutes” airing Sunday that Xi “has openly said and his people have said: We would never do anything while President Trump is president because they know the consequences.” U.S. officials have long been concerned about the possibility of China using military force against Taiwan, the self-ruled island democracy claimed by Beijing.

A fire and explosion at a convenience store in northwestern Mexico have killed at least 23 people, including children, and injured 12 others. The incident occurred on Saturday in downtown Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora state. Six people remained hospitalized on Sunday morning. Sonora Attorney General Gustavo Salas Chávez said the deaths were caused by inhalation of toxic gases. Prosecutors believe the fire originated in a transformer, but the exact cause is under investigation. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed condolences and is coordinating support for victims' families and the injured.

An aid group reports that only a few thousand Sudanese have escaped atrocities by Sudan's paramilitary forces in el-Fasher city. The Rapid Support Forces took control of the western Darfur region last week, ousting the Sudanese army. Reports and videos have circulated of RSF atrocities against civilians, including beatings, killings, and sexual assaults. According to the U.N. migration agency, tens of thousands are believed to have fled el-Fasher. However, less than 6,000 have reached the nearest humanitarian camp in Tawila. Survivors describe dodging gunmen as they fled, arriving disoriented and dehydrated.

One in eight Americans use federal food aid but halting the SNAP program would hurt Black Americans more than anyone else. Problems with monthly SNAP payments would be part of the fallout from the federal government shutdown. Black Americans are less than 14% of the U.S. population but a quarter of more than 40 million SNAP recipients. Historians and advocates say that's an example of systemic racism. Even without formal prejudice, America's long history of racism — from slavery to unfair zoning rules — has left Black communities with a series of major hurdles.

Police in a Chicago suburb are gathering evidence after a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle crash led to a violent arrest caught on video. The episode took place Friday in Evanston. It included an agent punching a man in the head who was pinned to the ground. Videos show the crowd trying to interfere, with agents using pepper spray at times and pointing guns. The Department of Homeland Security later said the officer who hit the man in the head delivered “defensive strikes” after the man “grabbed the agent’s genitals and squeezed.” Federal agents have been active in Evanston as part of stepped-up immigration enforcement.

At least two people have been killed in a drone attack in Ukraine’s Odesa region, according to Ukrainian authorities. The attack targeting a car park on the Black Sea coast happened early Sunday. Three other people were wounded. In the Zaporizhzhia region, tens of thousands of homes were without power after an attack by Russian drones and missiles. Ukraine’s national energy operator reported rolling power cuts due to attacks on the power grid. In Russia, a Ukrainian drone strike set fire to an oil tanker and infrastructure at Tuapse port. The strike is part of Ukraine’s efforts to reduce Russia’s oil refining capacity.

For President Donald Trump, tariffs — or the threat of them — can bend nations to his will. The president has used them not only as the underpinning of his economic agenda, but as the cornerstone of his foreign policy in his second term. Next week, the Supreme Court hears arguments on whether Trump has overstepped federal law with many of his sweeping tariffs. If the court rules against him, it could limit or even take away the swift and blunt leverage that much of his foreign policy has relied on. Trump has increasingly expressed anxiety about the case on social media and in speeches.
