US court rejects Trump’s emergency order keeping Michigan coal plant open
The ruling says the Energy Department exceeded its authority by extending the plant’s operation. President Donald Trump declared a national energy emergency in an executive order in January last year, citing demand increases from artificial intelligence and data centre growth. The plant, operated by Consumers Energy, had been scheduled to close in May 2025, but the company has continued operations under energy department orders.

Secretary Wright issued another emergency order, just hours after the ruling, to a coal plant in Centralia, Washington, to remain in operation.

Danish FA allege FIFA Legal Committee evaded questions on Infantino’s plan
“I am surprised that FIFA Forward Enterprise has not been discussed by the Legal Committee, which is precisely the body that should be consulted on legal matters concerning FIFA. “But unfortunately, it proved impossible to get answers to the questions, as FIFA wants to await the discussion at the upcoming Council meeting in October. The FIFA Council comprises 37 members, including President Infantino, eight vice-presidents and 28 other members elected by member associations. There is no trust in Infantino and FIFA’s leadership,” Moller said. “The Supervisory Board of the OFB unanimously decided not to support Gianni Infantino’s renewed candidacy as FIFA President,” it said in a statement.

‘Divine triumph’: Iran celebrates Houthis’ capture of Yemen’s Red Sea coast
Tehran, Iran – Iranian authorities and state media have praised the Houthis’ capture of Yemen’s Red Sea coast, which some see as giving Tehran more leverage against the United States. The Houthis captured a series of Red Sea coastal cities and islands this week, essentially giving them control over the vital Bab al-Mandeb strait. The Houthis’ capture of the port city of Mocha on Friday delivered a huge blow for the Yemeni government, which now has no direct access to the Red Sea. After their recent victories, the Yemeni group can now exercise more control over the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb strait. The Houthis’ control of Yemen’s Red Sea coastline and multiple islands – including the island of Mayun, also known as Perim, sitting about 3km (1.9 miles) off Yemen’s mainland – provides the group with close-range access to the Bab al-Mandeb strait.
