JUST IN: Donald Trump Arrives For Republican National Convention After Surviving Assassination Attempt—Former US President Donald Trump has arrived in Wisconsin for the Republican National Convention, a day after surviving an assassination attempt.

The party conference in Milwaukee is going ahead as planned despite Saturday evening’s shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania, in which Trump was shot in the ear.
Trump posted on social media that he had considered delaying his trip by two days, “but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else”.
The attack on the candidate has put a heightened focus on safety and security of the event, which begins on Monday at the arena that is home to the NBA Milwaukee Bucks basketball team.

But Audrey Gibson-Cicchino, RNC coordinator for the US Secret Service, said during a Sunday afternoon news conference in Milwaukee that there would be no changes to the security plan.

Some 50,000 people are expected to attend the four-day jamboree of pageantry, politics and policy as the party makes its case to voters ahead of November’s general election.

What is the Republican National Convention?

Once every four years each of the two main US parties hosts a convention to formally select their respective White House standard-bearer and prepare for the final stretch of campaigning.

The conferences include high-profile speakers, as well as a prime-time speech from the presidential candidate.

During the convention, the delegates from each state pledge their support to the candidate of their choice and approve a platform.

It is merely a formality for Trump as the party’s presumptive nominee because he won 2,265 delegates in the primaries, which is enough for the nomination.

The Democrats will hold their convention next month in Chicago.

Trump is not expected to speak until Thursday night.

One of the biggest moments of the conference will be when he unveils his vice-presidential candidate.

But as the dust settles from the assassination attempt, it is unclear when Trump will announce who he has chosen as his running mate, or when he or she will speak.

Donald Trump Jr, the former president’s son, is expected to speak on Wednesday.

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, one of Trump’s fiercest rivals during the Republican primary, was originally expected to skip the RNC.

But after the assassination attempt, it was reported that she will now not only attend but speak at the conference.

Other speakers reportedly include Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia congresswoman, Arizona Senate contender Kari Lake, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Dana White, head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Teamsters union general president Sean O’Brien.

Saudi Arabia Sack Hervé Renard

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia Sack Hervé Renard Two Months Before World Cup—-Saudi Arabia have dismissed head coach Hervé Renard in a shock decision less than two months before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation confirmed the move, bringing an abrupt end to Renard’s second spell in charge despite successfully guiding the team to qualification for the tournament.

The 57-year-old Frenchman, who previously led the team between 2019 and 2023, had returned in late 2024 after a stint with the France women’s national team. He is widely remembered for overseeing Saudi Arabia’s famous 2-1 victory over eventual champions Argentina at the 2022 World Cup.

Reports suggest the decision follows a series of disappointing results in recent friendlies, raising concerns about the team’s readiness ahead of the global tournament.

Renard confirmed his exit, acknowledging the timing but expressing pride in his achievements, including leading Saudi Arabia to multiple World Cup qualifications.

With the World Cup fast approaching, Saudi Arabia are now expected to appoint a replacement quickly, with Greek coach Georgios Donis reportedly among the leading candidates.

The sudden managerial change leaves the team facing a race against time to stabilise preparations ahead of their Group H fixtures against Spain, Uruguay, and Cape Verde.

JUST IN: Ex Chelsea Manager Frank Lampard Guides Coventry City to Historic Premier League Promotion After 25 Years—-Coventry City have secured promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years, completing a remarkable turnaround under head coach Frank Lampard.

The Sky Blues confirmed their return to England’s top flight following a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers, with a late equaliser sealing the crucial point needed to clinch promotion.

Lampard, who took charge of the club in 2024, has overseen an impressive rise, guiding Coventry from mid-table struggles to Championship leaders. His side’s consistency throughout the 2025/26 season saw them build an unassailable lead at the top of the table, ultimately securing automatic promotion.

The achievement marks a major milestone for Coventry City, who last played in the Premier League during the 2000/01 season. After years of setbacks, including spells in the lower divisions, the club has now completed a long journey back to the elite level of English football.

For Lampard, the promotion represents one of the biggest successes of his managerial career, silencing critics and reaffirming his credentials after previous stints with Chelsea and Everton.

Celebrations erupted among players and fans alike, as Coventry’s return to the Premier League signals a new chapter for the historic club.
