Anthony Edwards' historic performance ruins Giannis Antetokounmpo's Miami debut as Timberwolves blow out Heat
Giannis Antetokounmpo made his debut with the Miami Heat in a 131-106 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite a strong performance from Anthony Edwards, who finished with 45 points and 21 from LaMelo Ball, Miami's defense was poor. Edwards set a record for the third player in NBA history to have multiple 40-point season openers, joining Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan. Edwards and Ball dominated the game from beyond the arc, making more 3-pointers than Miami did as a team (8). The Heat is set to return to action against the Detroit Pistons on Friday.

AT&T raises annual profit forecast after beating quarterly estimates
AT&T has raised its annual profit forecast after beating quarterly estimates and expects average revenue per fiber customer to continue its decline into the fourth quarter. This comes as more customers sign up for discounted bundles, which may result in lower spending per user. The company's shares fell 6.5% on Wednesday, while competitors T-Mobile and Verizon dropped about 3%. The move towards bundling broadband plans with wireless services is seen as a crucial move by US telecom carriers to attract and retain customers in a competitive market. AT&T's CEO, John Stankey, believes that a converged customer sitting on fiber is likely to be a high-lifetime value customer. The broader telecom industry is banking on customer loyalty amid concerns about SpaceX's plans to build a terrestrial wireless network.

Supreme Court Reins in Unprogrammed Appropriations, Upholds Constitutional Budget Limits
The Philippines Supreme Court has ruled that unprogrammed appropriations (UA) can still be used as a backdoor for budget increases or opaque spending. The Court has imposed strict limits on these funds, including explicit bans on lump-sum allocations and clear prioritization and reporting. This decision is expected to curb the practice of shifting funds to artificially inflate budgets, which has historically facilitated corruption and inefficiency. The court also stated that both the executive and legislative branches must adhere to the constitutional ceiling on appropriations, ensuring that only pre-approved projects receive funding and all financial decisions are subject to public scrutiny. The decision vindicates watchdogs and critics who have previously warned against government officials' manipulation of the national spending plan.

Peru awards Thales a Ground Master 400 radar to bolster Peruvian Air Force air surveillance - France
Peruvian Armed Forces Procurement Agency (ACFFAA) has awarded Thales LAS France SAS the acquisition of a long-range 3D surveillance and early warning radar for approximately US$39.5 million. The selected system, the Ground Master 400 (GM400α), competed against offers from Indra Sistemas (Spain) and Lockheed Martin Global (United States). The GM400α is designed to detect, classify and track a range of threats, from low-speed drones to supersonic aircraft and missiles. The system is housed in a standard 20-foot container and can be deployed on a truck in less than an hour, giving it tactical mobility. The addition of this radar is intended to improve the Peruvian Air Force’s (FAP) ability to build a more complete air picture in areas where terrain prevents proper coverage by fixed-site radars.

UCLA Health-led study finds NYC tenant right-to-counsel program linked to fewer ED visits in high-risk neighborhoods
UCLA Health researchers have found that the New York City tenant right-to-counsel program, which provides free legal representation to tenants facing eviction, may reduce emergency department visits in high-risk neighborhoods. The study, published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, found no overall association between right-for-cousel programs and ED visit rates. However, among certain population subgroups at the highest risk for eviction, these programs were linked to lower rates of all-cause emergency department visit, suggesting possible population health benefits. The findings also revealed an unexpected increase in ED visits related to mental health and substance use disorders in zip codes where the program was implemented. Dr. Katherine L. Chen, assistant professor of internal medicine and population health scientist at UCLA, said the finding underscores the importance of housing stability for overall health.

US eases Russia pressure as Europe strains to sustain Ukraine support
The burden on Europe, which is supporting Ukraine, is increasing as the United States reduces pressure on Russia. The European Council president, António Costa, stated that "now is not the time to pull back support for Ukraine" and suggested that Russia should be pressed harder. Concerns are growing over whether U.S. support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will continue. The United States agreed to supply Russian diesel and delayed additional sanctions on Russia ahead of the midterm elections. However, European countries are not sharing the expense of supporting Ukraine evenly. Observers suggest that even if Europe increases funding, it is difficult to substitute for the U.K. military role.
