San Jose State women's volleyball's trans player raises eyebrows with brutal spike vs New Mexico
The San Jose State Spartans women’s volleyball team cruised to a 3-1 victory over the New Mexico Lobos as they continue to compete under a shroud of controversy over having a transgender athlete on their roster. San Jose State set Fleming up for the spike, and she nailed one down off of the Lobos’ libero. "It has been incorrectly reported that an San Diego State University student-athlete was hit in the face with a volleyball during match play with San Jose State University," the school said. Fleming’s inclusion on the San Jose State women’s volleyball teams has sparked a ton of controversy, leading teams to decide to forfeit matches and a lawsuit from one of Fleming’s teammates against the NCAA. San Jose State is now 10-3 on the season and 5-3 against Mountain West opponents.

Biden urges Western allies to keep aiding Ukraine during meeting with Europe leaders before election
Biden in an exchange with reporters following his meeting with the three European leaders suggested that the U.S. election was discussed in the private talks. Asked if the leaders were worried about the presidential race, Biden responded tersely, “They're interested.”Earlier in the day Biden emphasized the need to support Ukraine. “As Ukraine faces a tough winter, we must — we must — sustain our resolve, our effort and our support,” Biden said. Biden said he and the European leaders discussed the way ahead following the killing of Sinwar. He maintains that if he were still president, Russia would never have invaded Ukraine in 2022 and Hamas would never have attacked Israel in 2023.

Look of the Week
Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. CNN —Last night, British actor Andrew Garfield arrived at the London Film Festival premiere of his latest film “We Live in Time” sporting a surprising accessory.

His custom Valentino outfit was somewhat overshadowed by his 5 foot 4 inch long cardboard cutout.
