PARIS, France, March 22, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique hailed his side's "perfect evening" after reclaiming top spot in Ligue 1 with a dominant 4-0 victory over 10-man Nice on Saturday. PSG move one-point ahead of Lens, who thrashed Angers 5-1 on Friday and have played one more game. "It will be difficult until the end," warned Luis Enrique of the title battle. But already missing several key players, Luis Enrique lost two more, with Senny Mayulu substituted just before halftime, visibly suffering a calf injury. Toulouse secured their second consecutive Ligue 1 victory 1-0 against Lorient with substitute Emerson scoring after a solo run nine minutes from time.

Records shattered as US heatwave moves eastward
WASHINGTON, United States, March 21, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A record-breaking heatwave afflicting the western half of the United States moved eastward Saturday toward the center of the country, bringing unseasonably warm temperatures to places that were at freezing or below just a week prior. Dozens of cities from California to Colorado recorded their highest temperatures ever for the month of March, according to the National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center. On Saturday, areas that saw new records for the highest temperatures in March included 92 Fahrenheit (33.3C) recorded in Kansas City, Missouri, and North Platte, Nebraska. For instance, in Chanute, Kansas, temperatures went from a record low of 13F (-10.5C) on March 16 to a record high of 91F (32.8C) just four days later. On Friday the heatwave had brought temperatures up to 44.4C (112F) in several areas along the southern California-Arizona border, a national US record for March.

US-China 'Board of Trade' may help ties but experts flag market worries
US-China 'Board of Trade' may help ties but experts flag market worriesWASHINGTON, United States, March 22, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - As Washington and Beijing mull a new mechanism to adjust trade between the world's two largest economies, some analysts warn that it could interfere with market forces, while others consider it a path to smoother coexistence. -After top US economic officials held talks with their Chinese counterparts in Paris last weekend, US trade envoy Jamieson Greer said both sides discussed creating a "US-China Board of Trade." The mechanism would help to formalize and identify what kinds of goods the United States should be exporting to and importing from China, he said. For now, officials appear to have made progress towards Chinese purchase commitments for agriculture, energy and planes from the United States, added Cutler, a former US trade official. -Bown of PIIE believes a managed trade agreement between the United States and China could be more successful than previous attempts to solve economic conflicts.

Danish PM bids for third term in general electio
COPENHAGEN, March 22, 2026 (AFP) - Denmark votes Tuesday in a tight general election, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen seeking a third term after a campaign focused on domestic issues and set against tensions with the US over Greenland. The Social Democrats still lead in the polls, though they are expected to shed about six points compared with the 2022 election. But the Moderates, founded by Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, sit outside both and could play kingmaker in coalition talks. "There's a tie in many opinion polls where the Moderates... are the pivotal party, so they get to decide," University of Copenhagen political scientist Karina Kosiara-Pedersen told AFP. That dynamic benefits Frederiksen and Lokke Rasmussen, who is also a former two-time prime minister, Kosiara-Pedersen said, as both have been on the frontlines standing up to Trump.

Cuba hit by second nationwide blackout in a week
HAVANA, March 22, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Cuba plunged into darkness for the second time in less than a week on Saturday after its national power network failed again, strained by aging infrastructure and a US oil blockade. As night fell, Havana's streets were mostly pitch black, with people navigating using phone lights or flashlights, just five days after the previous blackout. And US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on countries that sell oil to Cuba. The blackout occurred as an international aid convoy began to arrive in Havana this week, bringing sorely-needed medical supplies, food, water and solar panels to the island. Tanieris Dieguez, Cuba's deputy chief of mission in Washington, told AFP earlier this week that Havana was open to broad talks with Washington and allowing more investment.

Trump threatens to 'obliterate' Iran power plants unless Hormuz opens
WASHINGTON, United States, March 22, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump on Saturday gave Iran a 48-hour deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic or face the destruction of its energy infrastructure. "If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" Since the US and Israel launched the war against Iran on February 28, Iran has effectively closed the strait in retaliation. The hit to supplies from the Gulf has caused fuel prices to spike worldwide, threatening governments with widespread inflation the longer the war continues. The US military said earlier on Saturday that it had damaged an Iranian bunker housing weapons threatening oil and gas shipments in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran missile strikes wound over 100 in two south Israel towns
Iran missile strikes wound over 100 in two south Israel townsARAD, Israel, March 22, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Iranian missile strikes on two southern Israeli towns wounded more than 100 people on Saturday, medics said, after Israeli air defence systems failed to intercept the projectiles. Dimona hosts a facility widely believed to possess the Middle East's sole nuclear arsenal, although Israel has never admitted possessing nuclear weapons. Israel has maintained a policy of ambiguity about its nuclear programme, and the plant officially focuses on research. Iran has fired repeated barrages of missiles at Israel daily in retaliation for the US-Israeli attacks that started on February 28. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue striking Iran and its allies after what he called a "very difficult evening".

Trump gives Iran 48 hours to open Hormuz as Tehran strikes Israel
JERUSALEM, March 22, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump on Saturday gave Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping or face the destruction of its energy infrastructure, as Tehran launched its most destructive attack yet on Israel. Trump's ultimatum Saturday landed hours after two Iranian missiles struck southern Israel, injuring more than 100 people in the most destructive attack since the war began. The strikes, which slipped through Israel's missile defence systems, tore open the facades of residential buildings and carved craters into the ground. Netanyahu vowed to continue striking Iran after what he called a "very difficult evening" and hours later, the Israeli military said its forces launched a wave of strikes on Tehran. The United Arab Emirates said Saturday it faced aerial attacks after Iran warned it against allowing strikes from its territory on disputed islands near the Strait of Hormuz.
