Jannik Sinner came through a slight injury scare to win his US Open semi-final against Felix Auger-Aliassime and set up another tantalising Grand Slam final with Carlos Alcaraz.

Defending champion Sinner was far from his best but had enough to come through 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4 on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

It means Sinner, 24, has won 26 of his 27 matches so far at Grand Slams this year - winning titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon and reaching the final of the French Open, which he lost to Alcaraz.

Sinner rattled through the opening set but stumbled in the second, with an injury seemingly hindering him as a rejuvenated Auger-Aliassime drew level.

The Italian took a medical timeout before returning for the third set and settled back into a rhythm without ever hitting top form.

He will take on world number two Alcaraz in Sunday's showpiece after the Spaniard overcame Novak Djokovic 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 earlier on Friday.

"Sunday is a very special day and an amazing final again," said Sinner, who added in his post-match interview that his injury was "nothing too bad".

He continued: "We'll see what's coming. I feel like our rivalry started here playing an amazing match [in 2022, when Alcaraz beat Sinner in the quarter-finals]. We are two different players now, with different confidence too.

"We've played each other a lot, we know each other very well."

World number one Sinner was almost perfect in the opening set, making just four unforced errors, leading to the feeling that another routine win was on the cards.

But errors began to creep into Sinner's game in the second and Auger-Aliassime, who was appearing in just his second Grand Slam semi-final and first since 2021, grew in confidence - feeding off the energy of the crowd to get a foothold.

Auger-Aliassime passed up three break points for the chance to lead 2-0 but went on to break 5-3 before serving out for the set.

There had been no real indication that Sinner was carrying an injury until he left the court for treatment, although his first-serve accuracy had dropped slightly.

He landed just 10 of 25 (40%) in the third compared to 10 of 22 (45%) in the second set and 13 of 25 (52%) in the first.

Auger-Aliassime was unable to fully capitalise on any potential problem, though, and a break of serve at 5-3 was enough to take the set.

By the time the fourth began, Sinner appeared the fresher of the two - barring a few moments of resilience from his opponent.

Victory means Sinner is just the fourth player in the Open era to reach all four Grand Slam finals in a single season after Rod Laver, Roger Federer and Djokovic.

Sinner trails Alcaraz in their head-to-head record, losing nine of their 14 meetings, including three of their four encounters in 2025.

Maturing Alcaraz avenges Melbourne defeat

Carlos Alcaraz is aiming for his sixth Grand Slam title - and second at the US Open

Before the final major of the season began, everyone wondered who could stop Alcaraz or Sinner sweeping the Slams for the second straight season.

Alcaraz has won back-to-back French Open titles and lifted the Wimbledon title last year, before losing to Sinner in this year's final. Now he has booked his place in the New York showpiece without dropping a set.

He broke Djokovic in the first game of the match and threatened to move a double break ahead before the Serb served his way out of trouble.

It was not a classic set of tennis, lacking absorbing rallies as points were punctuated by baseline errors. Nevertheless, Alcaraz never looked like relinquishing his lead.

Momentum switched at the start of the second set, however - just as it did in their Australian Open quarter-final in January.

Alcaraz dominated the first set in Melbourne, became confused as Djokovic upped the intensity in the next, and ultimately malfunctioned in a four-set defeat.

Thoughts went back to that match when Djokovic moved 3-1 up in the second set. But this time Alcaraz recognised what was happening and was able to adjust tactically and mentally.

The Spaniard ended a brutal exchange at 30-30 by casually flicking a cross-court forehand past Djokovic, bringing up a break point that his deflated opponent planted in the net.

Neither player created any more break chances, leading to a tie-break where Djokovic wiped out a 4-1 deficit for 4-3 before running out of steam.

Alcaraz had not previously lost any of the 52 Grand Slam matches where he had won the opening two sets.

It quickly became apparent that Djokovic, who asked for treatment on his neck before the third set, would not be the one to end that run.

Age continues to catch up with Djokovic

Djokovic has built an entire career - arguably the greatest ever seen - on upsetting the status quo.

When he first emerged as a force in the late 2000s, he was the outsider looking to break up the duopoly of Federer and Rafael Nadal.

Nearly 20 years on, Djokovic finds himself squeezed out at the top of the men's game by Sinner and Alcaraz.

Alcaraz served well, and backed it up with aggressive groundstrokes early in the rallies, to overpower Djokovic in the key moments.

Former world number one Djokovic has proved this year that he still has enough left to reach the semi-finals of all four majors, but 30 unforced errors indicated the pressure he feels against Alcaraz and Sinner.

Ultimately, he will never believe he cannot win - even when the odds are stacked against him.

"They're just too good, they're playing at a high level," said Djokovic.

"I ran out of gas. I'm happy with my level of tennis - it's just the physicality of it."

Signs warning swimmers and saying "shark sighted" on a beach in the Sydney area

A man has died on a Sydney beach after being bitten by a suspected "large shark", Australia's New South Wales police have said.

In a statement, the police said emergency services pulled the man out of the morning surf onto the shore at Long Reef Beach - but he "died at the scene".

"Two sections of a surfboard have been recovered and taken for expert examination," the statement read.

Saturday's incident has resulted in a string of closures in the popular area known as the Northern Beaches.

The state police said the emergency services acted after receiving reports shortly after 10:00am local time on Saturday (00:00 GMT) that "a man had suffered critical injuries".

The victim's identity was yet to be confirmed.

Local police officers and experts would work together to "determine the species of shark involved".

The last deadly shark attack in the Sydney area in 2022, when Simon Nellist - a British diving instructor - was mauled by a great white shark.

Prior to that, there had not been a fatal attack since 1963.

Australia typically records about 20 shark attacks each year, with most in New South Wales and Western Australia.

Historically, dying from a shark bite is uncommon. In over a century of records, Australia's shark attack mortality rate is 0.9 - less than one person per year.

ICE raid on Hyundai plant in Georgia swept up workers on visitor visas

Watch: ICE was 'just doing its job' with Hyundai arrests, Trump says

The car workers arrested in one of the largest ever US workplace immigration raids had violated their visitor visas, officials say.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said 475 people, mostly South Korean citizens - were found to be illegally working at a Hyundai battery plant in the US state of Georgia on Thursday.

"People on short-term or recreational visas are not authorized to work in the US," ICE said, adding that the raid was necessary to protect American jobs.

South Korea, whose companies have promised to invest billions of dollars in key US industries in the coming years, partly to avoid tariffs, has sent diplomats to Georgia, and called for its citizens' rights to be respected.

Official: Raid at US Hyundai factory "biggest" in Homeland Security history

The arrested workers were being held at an ICE facility in Folkston, Georgia, until the agency decides where to move them next.

Of those detained, 300 are reported to be Korean nationals. Hyundai said in a statement that none of them were directly employed by the company.

LG Energy Solution, which operates the plant with Hyundai, told the BBC its top priority was to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its employees and partners and that it "will fully cooperate with the relevant authorities".

In a statement on Friday, the ICE office in the city of Savannah said the raid was "part of an active, ongoing criminal investigation".

"The individuals arrested during the operation were found to be working illegally, in violation of the terms of their visas and/or statuses," the statement added.

But Charles Kuck, an immigration lawyer in Atlanta, told the New York Times that two of his clients were wrongly caught up in the raid.

He told the newspaper the pair were in the US under a visa waiver programme that allows them to travel for tourism or business for up to 90 days.

"My clients were doing exactly what they were allowed to do under the visa waiver - attend business meetings," he said on Friday.

He said one of them only arrived on Tuesday and was due to leave next week.

ICE said one of those detained was a Mexican citizen and green card holder with a lengthy rap sheet.

The individual had previously been convicted of possession of narcotics, attempting to sell a stolen firearm and theft, according to ICE.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Special Agent Steven Schrank said: "We welcome all companies who want to invest in the US.

"And if they need to bring workers in for building or other projects, that's fine - but they need to do it the legal way.

"This operation sends a clear message that those who exploit the system and undermine our workforce will be held accountable."

South Korea's foreign ministry responded to the raid with a statement saying: "The economic activities of Korean investment companies and the rights and interests of Korean citizens must not be unfairly infringed upon during US law enforcement operations."

The raid raises a possible tension between two of President Donald Trump's top priorities - building up manufacturing within the US and cracking down on illegal immigration. It could also put stress on the country's relationship with a key ally.

President Trump said in the Oval Office on Friday: "They were illegal aliens and ICE was just doing its job."

Asked by a reporter about the reaction from Seoul, he said: "Well, we want to get along with other countries, and we want to have a great, stable workforce.

"And we have, as I understand it, a lot of illegal aliens, some not the best of people, but we had a lot of illegal aliens working there."

Trump has worked to bring in major investments from other countries while also levying tariffs he says will give manufacturers incentives to make goods in the US.

The president also campaigned on cracking down on illegal immigration, telling supporters he believed migrants were stealing jobs from Americans.

The factory, which makes new electric vehicles, had been touted by Georgia's Republican governor as the biggest economic development project in the state's history, employing 1,200 people.

中国证监会前主席易会满被查

中国官方通报,中国证监会前主席易会满被查。

中共中央纪委国家监委网站星期六(9月6日)通报,十四届全国政协经济委员会副主任易会满涉嫌严重违纪违法,目前正接受中央纪委国家监委纪律审查和监察调查。

路透社星期五(9月5日)引述消息人士报道易会满被查的消息,并称针对易会满的调查内容包括在他担任证监会主席期间,亲属是否获取不当利益。知情者并未披露更多细节。

易会满去年2月突然被免去证监会主席职务,当时正值中国股市大幅下跌,沪深300指数触及五年新低,机构和散户投资者纷纷止损。中国官方未说明易会满被免职的原因。

公开资料显示,现年60岁的易会满曾在中国工商银行工作长达35年,2019年出任证监会主席,跻身正部级干部。

他也是二十届中央委员,去年2月卸任证监会职务后,同年6月转到全国政治协商会议退居二线,担任十四届全国政协委员、经济委员会驻会副主任。据人民政协网报道,今年6月17日,易会满还曾出席一场全国政协举办的座谈会。

北京杜莎夫人蜡像馆10月关闭

杜莎夫人蜡像馆10月将关闭在中国北京的蜡像馆。

北京杜莎夫人蜡像馆在星期四(9月4日)于微博发布的公告中说,基于租约到期以及品牌战略的规划调整,蜡像馆将从10月1日起永久关闭。

蜡像馆也说,闭馆后“大部分名人蜡像将移至中国其他地区的杜莎夫人蜡像馆续写辉煌,少数蜡像也会‘荣休’妥善保存”。游客们可以前往上海、香港及武汉的杜莎夫人蜡像馆,“延续这场星光熠熠的名人奇妙之旅”。

综合紫牛新闻和《北京商报》报道,重庆杜莎夫人蜡像馆也在5月官宣闭馆,不再营业。

北京杜莎夫人蜡像馆2014年开业,是继上海、香港、武汉之后的中国第四家杜莎夫人蜡像馆。北京杜莎夫人蜡像馆馆内有姚明、贝克汉姆、科比等体育名人蜡像,也有费翔、尚雯婕、邓超等明星蜡像。

因为可以和名人蜡像合照,所以杜莎夫人蜡像馆成为一个热门的拍照打卡地,有不少消费者表示“追星友好”“一次性和一大堆明星合照了。”同时,也有不少人认为明星入驻杜莎夫人蜡像馆是对其演艺成就的一种肯定。

不过,在社交平台上搜索,吐槽参观蜡像馆性价比不高的帖文不少,北京杜莎夫人蜡像馆的成人门票180元(人民币,下同,32新元),儿童门票110元,使用北京公园年票也可以参观,“门票价格有点高,馆不大。”“门市价格不值,面积很小,免费去一次还是值得的。”“能逛一小时不到吧,票价有点贵了。”

红星新闻则报道,蜡像馆客流量下滑或是主因。目前蜡像馆的每天客流量仅为100人左右。知情人士说:“这比巅峰时期的人流量下降了50倍,巅峰时期的春节假期,蜡像馆接待5000余人,而今年春节仅接待400余人,差距非常明显。”

深圳楼市政策优化 多区购房不限套数

中国深圳市优化楼市政策,符合条件的本地家庭在部分区域购房不限套数,部分非深户家庭也有购房的机会。

深圳市住房和建设局、中国人民银行深圳市分行星期五(9月5日)联合印发《关于进一步优化调整本市房地产政策措施的通知》,宣布星期六(9月6日)起深圳分区优化调整居民购买商品住房政策等。

根据新政策,符合深圳商品住房购买条件的居民家庭,包括本地户籍居民家庭,以及在购房前已连续缴纳满一年社保或个人所得税的非深户家庭,在罗湖、宝安(不含新安街道)、龙岗、龙华、坪山、光明等区购买商品住房不限套数。

同时,盐田区和大鹏新区全面取消限购,购房不再进行资格审核。

据《中国房地产报》报道,广东省城乡规划院住房政策研究中心首席研究员李宇嘉指出,深圳此轮政策放宽力度超过北京、上海,外围区域退出限购超出市场预期。

他分析,新政有望提振市场交易,一方面,部分看好后市的购房者认为价格已触底,将择机入市;另一方面,政策也将吸引更多外地人群购房,尤其是珠三角及广东其他城市,甚至内地买家。深圳楼市包容性和承接力较强,外来购买力的加入或将发挥关键作用。

加媒:加澳军舰驶入台湾海峡

加拿大媒体报道,一艘加拿大军舰和一艘澳大利亚军舰星期六(9月6日)驶入台湾海峡。

加拿大CTV报道,两艘军舰的自动识别系统显示,加拿大“魁北克市”号(Ville de Québec)护卫舰和澳大利亚“布里斯班”号(Brisbane)导弹驱逐舰驶入台海。

加拿大国防部没有证实军舰是否驶入台海,但加拿大联合作战司令部发言人说,司令部星期六傍晚将在渥太华发布一项声明。

台湾《自由时报》则引述军事粉专TaiwanAdiz追踪信息报道,两艘军舰目前沿台湾海峡中线以东持续北上,目的地尚未明朗。

《自由时报》的报道称,这支由加拿大与澳洲组成的联合舰队,于9月2日上午9时30分自菲律宾苏比克湾美军基地出发,选择在台湾海峡中线以东航行,刻意避开中国大陆主张的领海范围。

魁北克市舰本周较早前在菲律宾附近海域,参加菲澳加联合巡航,引起中国方面的不满。中国人民解放军南部战区星期四(4日)在微博针对菲澳加联合巡航发文,批评菲律宾拉拢域外国家进行联合巡航,破坏地区和平稳定。

南部战区新闻发言人田军里说,战区部队时刻保持高度戒备,坚决捍卫国家领土主权和海洋权益,任何搅局南中国海、制造热点的企图都不可能得逞。

加拿大CTV报道,魁北克市舰与菲律宾军方、澳大利亚和美国方面展开航行自由演习。

杭州一餐厅女舞者表演涉擦边被叫停

中国杭州市一家餐厅的女舞蹈演员在表演中与顾客互动亲密,包括用嘴喂食棒棒糖、亲吻等举动,被指涉嫌擦边。当地执法部门已责令涉事餐厅立即停止不当营销行为。

杭州市萧山区文化市场行政执法队星期五(9月5日)在“萧山发布”微博账号上发布情况通报称,近日关注到网上关于区内一酒馆营销活动涉嫌擦边的相关信息后,区文化市场行政执法队会同相关部门立即进行实地核查,当场要求涉事酒馆经营者立即停止不当营销行为,并对它是否存在其他违规行为进行核查。

通报还称,执法部门接下来将举一反三,会同有关部门进一步加强日常监管。

综合《南方日报》和红星新闻报道,涉事门店是杭州萧山区一家烧鸟店。网传视频显示,一名女舞者在表演中动作妩媚,与顾客近距离互动,包括对视、贴脸,甚至用嘴喂食棒棒糖和亲吻,引发大量网友热议,认为上述举动不当。

涉事门店工作人员说,上级管理部门已下达指示,目前舞蹈表演已暂停。对于视频中出现的“顾客”,工作人员称其实是一名短发女生,是餐厅邀请的“网红达人”,视频拍摄本意是用于宣传引流。

据悉,涉事门店将舞蹈表演作为主打特色进行宣传,分为“免费观看”和“扫码观看”两种模式。很多网民称表演中的“美女跳舞”十分吸睛、“很撩”,还有人直言“就是来看跳舞的”。相比之下,烧鸟店提供的餐食和啤酒口味并不出众。

美国拟限制进口中国无人机及重型车辆

美国政府计划出台新规,限制甚至禁止进口中国无人机,以及中型和重型车辆。此前,美国已以国安风险为由,对汽车和卡车采取限制措施。

据路透社报道,美国商务部星期五(9月6日)发布声明称,最快将在本月发布相关规则,以应对涉及无人机及供应链的关键信息与通信技术带来的国家安全风险,以及来自中国等国家、重量超过1万磅的车辆。

美国商务部并未透露关于限制措施的具体细节。

中国制造的产品占据美国商用无人机市场的绝大部分,其中超过一半来自全球最大无人机制造商大疆(DJI)。这次针对无人机和重型车辆的拟议限制,延续了此前已推出的汽车和卡车进口管制措施。

今年1月,美国前总统拜登政府敲定新规,计划自2026年底起几乎全面禁止中国汽车和卡车进入美国市场,理由是担忧中国车载软件和硬件的安全风险。

美国商务部当时表示,可能将无人机系统纳入限制范围,包括机载计算机、通信与飞行控制系统、地面控制站、操作软件以及数据存储等。

美国商务部随后在今年4月对中型和重型车辆及零部件发起国安调查,并在7月将无人机及相关组件纳入调查,这些行动可能将导致更高关税。

今年6月,美国总统特朗普签署行政命令,要求强化防范具有威胁性的无人机,并推动美国无人机制造业发展。

中国延长对加拿大油菜籽反倾销调查半年

中国宣布将延长对加拿大进口油菜籽的反倾销调查期限,至明年3月,意在缓解因渥太华对中国电动车加征关税所引发、持续一年的贸易争端。

中国商务部星期五(9月5日)在官网公告,根据相关规定,在2024年9月9日决定对原产于加拿大的进口油菜籽进行反倾销立案调查。

公告称,“鉴于本案情况复杂”,商务部决定将本案的调查期限延长至2026年3月9日。

今年8月,中国就此案对相关进口商征收高达75.8%的保证金,作为临时反倾销措施。但这一措施仍属初步决定,最终裁定可能会调整税率,甚至推翻此前的决定。

据路透社报道,加拿大农业部长麦克唐纳(Heath MacDonald)说,加拿大希望中国的举动能为双方化解贸易紧张关系留出更多时间。“我们正与中国政府相关人士保持交流,如果有更多的机会进行进一步的对话和沟通,这无疑是件好事。”

作为全球最大的油菜籽出口国,加拿大2024年向中国出口近50亿加元(46亿新元)的油菜籽产品,其中约八成为籽粒。若高额关税持续不变,加拿大对华籽粒出口几乎将被全面切断。

为缓解紧张局势,加拿大总理卡尼的国会秘书布洛伊斯(Kody Blois)和萨斯喀彻温省省长莫伊(Scott Moe)将在9月6日至9日访华,与中方官员商讨贸易问题。萨斯喀彻温省是加拿大草原地区油菜籽主产地,产量约占全国一半,其中大部分依赖出口。

中国探月工程总设计师:构建相对完善小行星防御体系

中国探月工程总设计师、深空探测实验室主任兼首席科学家吴伟仁透露,中国将构建相对完善的小行星探测与防御体系。

据中新社报道,吴伟仁星期五(9月5日)在第三届深空探测(天都)国际会议开幕式上,首次全面阐述中国小行星探测与防御体系。

吴伟仁说,近年来,中国国家航天局相继启动了近地小行星探测计划和小行星防御等工程论证和实施,明确提出“论证建设近地小天体防御系统”。

今年5月29日,天问二号探测器成功发射,目标是对近地小行星2016HO3进行采样返回,其后对主带彗星311P开展伴飞探测。

吴伟仁表示,中国科学家从监测预警、在轨处置、体系应对等方面,提出了建设相对完善的近地小行星探测防御体系战略构想。

他阐释,这包括构建精准预警、常态运行的天地一体化协同监测预警体系。形成多口径搭配、多功能结合、高效协同的地基监测网,满足日常编目、威胁预警、短临预报等任务场景需求。构建小行星探测与防御综合服务系统,具备数据汇集、编目更新、风险研判等能力,实现小行星探测与防御业务化运行。

在轨处置方面,形成“动能撞击为主、多技术互补”的处置能力。研制多种手段的处置航天器和在轨评估航天器,建立近地小行星防御任务库,针对不同尺寸小行星撞击风险,提前制定处置方案。

为实现上述目标,中国科学家提出在轨处置演示验证任务。该任务拟采用“伴飞+撞击+伴飞”的任务模式,发射观测器和撞击器,观测器先期抵达对目标小行星进行抵近观测,获取其详细特性参数。然后,撞击器对小行星实施高速撞击。

吴伟仁说:“撞击全过程将通过天地联合方式,采用近距离高速成像等技术,开展小行星轨道、形貌和溅射物变化观测,准确评估撞击效果。”

太阳系有超过数十亿颗小行星,小行星富含铁、镍、铂族金属以及水冰等资源,具有重要的经济价值。同时,近地小行星也是太阳系中最具潜在威胁的天体之一,小行星撞击被列为威胁人类生存的二十大灾难之首。
