Ian Cathro takes St Etienne five points clear at the top of the French second tier. They’ve started the season with five consecutive victories. Must have learned something at Tynecastle.

The UN is expected to vote Friday on whether to endorse a world map that more accurately depicts the size of Africa. The new Equal Earth projection shows countries’ true size relative to one another, unlike the centuries-old Mercator map, which critics say makes Africa look smaller than it is.

A mall thing, but Farage boasted to the US “donor” that he worked with Drexel Burnham Lambert. This was a US bank that collapsed in 1990 after becoming embroiled in criminal activity. One wonders why Farage is so proud of his connections here.
