US presidential candidate Donald Trump has been escorted to a safe house by the Secret Service after agents opened fire on a man seen with a gun while the former president was on his golf course.
This was reported by the New York Post, citing sources in American law enforcement agencies.

The publication notes that it is currently unclear whether the man was on the course or near him.
At the same time, one of the US Secret Service agents opened fire, firing several times.
—President Trump is safe after shots were fired near him. No further details are available at this time, — Trump's press secretary Steven Cheung said Sunday afternoon.
The man was later arrested by local police on I-95.
This comes almost exactly two months after Trump was shot in the ear at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Minutes after news of the shooting broke, Sen. Lindsey Graham took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise the former president's resilience.
— Just spoke with President Trump. He is one of the strongest men I have ever known. He is in good spirits and more determined than ever to save our country, the senator wrote.
The West Palm Beach golf course is just a few miles from Mar-a-Lago, which Trump has dubbed his “winter White House”.
The Secret Service, which has come under widespread criticism following the July assassination attempt, wrote on social media X that it is investigating the “protective incident” involving the former president, which occurred shortly before 2 p.m. local time. The agency said it is coordinating the investigation with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
Note that it was initially reported that two people were shooting at each other. However, according to sources, investigators now believe that only the Secret Service agent was the shooter.
Tsygankov's team suffered a crushing defeat to Barcelona: the match was marked by a scandalous decision by referee Anatoly Derek Viktor Tsygankov and Girona lost to Barcelona/photo Getty Images The Catalan derby ended with a confident victory for Barcelona. Viktor Tsygankov was unable to contribute to his team during the first hour of play. Goals: Yamal, 30, 37, Olmo, 47, Pedri, 64. This weekend, the Spanish Football Championship is hosting matches of the 5th round of the 2023-2024 season. The central meeting of the weekend was held in Girona, where Viktor Tsygankov's team hosted Barcelona, writes 24 Channel. Last season, Girona managed to beat the “blaugranas” twice. But in the summer, the team changed a lot, selling a number of leaders, including Artem Dovbyk. But Viktor Tsygankov remained in the team and started the game against Barca. This time, Hans-Dieter Flick's team was head and shoulders above their opponents. In the first half, the “blue garnets” scored twice thanks to a double from Yamal. However, before the break, Girona had a chance to reduce the score. After a header from Gil, the ball hit the outstretched hand of Iñigo Martinez. The referee awarded a penalty, but after reviewing the VAR decided to overturn his decision. Moment with Iñigo Martinez's hand/screenshot from broadcasts This caused indignation among Girona fans, who did not understand such a decision. However, it played into the hands of Barcelona, because after the break, Olmo and Pedri scored another goal each. Tsygankov spent 69 minutes on the field, and Girona was able to score only after that, thanks to the efforts of Stuani. Thus, the Catalans suffered their second defeat this season. Video review of the Girona – Barcelona match: Viktor Tsygankov's team remained in eighth place.

Controversial penalty
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine really needs permission from the West to hit them with long-range weapons on Russian territory, given the daily terror of the civilian population.
The head of state noted this in his video address.
According to Zelensky, today in the afternoon the Russians struck a residential area of Kharkiv with guided aerial bombs (UAB). It hit an ordinary residential high-rise building.
Now watching
As a result of the UAB strike, a fire broke out and the floors of the building collapsed. There are 35 known wounded, including three children. There are still people under the rubble.
— All services, rescuers, doctors, and utility services quickly arrived at the scene, and everyone who was injured is being provided assistance. In total, there were four aerial bombs in this strike on the Kharkiv region alone. One on Kharkiv, on a house. The other three were on villages in the Kharkiv region, the head of state emphasized.
Zelensky recalled that not only the Kharkiv region suffers from Russian aerial bombs, but also the Sumy and Donetsk regions. There are at least a hundred airstrikes daily. Over the past 24 hours alone, the enemy launched 128 guided aerial bombs.
— And only a systemic solution can counter this terror, and this is a decision on long-range capability. To destroy Russian military aviation where it is based. This is an obvious, logical solution. We have already explained to all partners why Ukraine really needs sufficient range, — Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated decisively.
According to the president, every Russian airstrike on Ukraine proves that there must be long-range capability. Ukraine is primarily waiting for appropriate decisions from the US, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Italy.
The founder of football without trophies: the England team may be suspended from football tournaments Valeriya Furgalets England may be suspended from tournaments/Photo Getty images UEFA may suspend the England team from participating in upcoming international football tournaments. It's all because of the government's decision regarding the football regulator. An independent football regulator may be established in the UK at the initiative of the main political parties. It will have to oversee the licensing system of English clubs, check their owners and directors, and also give fans a voice in key decisions. UEFA sent a letter to the British government, in which it noted that the government should not interfere in the development of football. It is because of the government's interference that the football organization may take action by disqualifying the England national football team from competitions. The world governing body FIFA, which holds the World Cup, also notes in Article 15 of its statutes that “national associations must be independent and operate without any form of political interference.” If UEFA does make a decision, the national team will not take part in the 2026 World Cup and will also be disqualified from hosting Euro 2028. The highest sanction will be the exclusion of the federation from UEFA, and the teams from competitions. Recall that Euro 2028 is scheduled to take place from June 9 to July 9, 2028 in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.Why England may be suspended
Russian invaders continue to use the territory of the Zaporizhzhya NPP as a warehouse for ammunition and a base for personnel.
This is reported by the Center for National Resistance.
Thanks to information from the Ukrainian underground and concerned citizens, it was possible to calculate that there are units of the Russian Guard totaling up to 1,300 people on the territory of the Zaporizhzhya NPP. In particular, the OMON units Akhmat-1 (Grozny, Chechen Republic) and SOBR Agat (Penza, Russian Federation) are located there.
Now watching
Some of the Russian military personnel who are on duty are wearing the uniform of the paramilitary guard of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, not the Russian Guard. This is done for camouflage.
In the technical and basement rooms of the nuclear power plant, the occupiers store small arms and artillery ammunition to provide the contingent at the plant, as well as for the forces in adjacent positions.
According to the Center for National Resistance, the occupiers have laid more than 20 minefields around the city, which encircle the Zaporizhzhya NPP and the city of Energodar, and have a total length of about 6.5 km. Russians are still afraid of a possible landing of the Defense Forces from the Dnieper.
The Center for National Resistance notes that this week the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) delegation visited the plant once again. However, the Russians carefully and in advance planned the route for the delegation.
— Considering the courtesy and hugs shown by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to the Russian leadership of the occupied NPP, it is no longer surprising that his team once again failed to notice a significant accumulation of Russian troops and weapons on the territory of the nuclear power plant, — noted in the resistance.
This is not the first time that IAEA representatives have not been granted access to the western part of the two turbine halls. However, the organization's representative office only recorded this fact, and did not make any decision regarding the representative office of Rosatom, which manages the Zaporizhzhya NPP.
