Trump pressures institutions as Washington expands Arctic reach and AI troubles escape the lab

Washington supplied much of the day’s noise, from Donald Trump’s threat to exclude major newsrooms to a Greenland security pact that gives the United States wider Arctic reach. Europe moved on wartime security and energy stress, while AI companies faced fresh evidence that their systems can cross real boundaries. In Omaha, Warren Buffett finally let go of Berkshire Hathaway’s chair, proving even legends eventually meet the calendar.

Harry Kane sets Bundesliga scoring record as Bayern Munich rout Union Berlin 7-0

Harry Kane scored his 100th Bundesliga goal in a record 98 matches while Michael Olise netted a hat-trick in Bayern Munich's 7-0 victory at the Allianz Arena.

Kane reaches century mark

Bayern Munich defeated Union Berlin 7-0 at the Allianz Arena on Friday, moving to the top of the Bundesliga on matchday four. England captain Harry Kane scored twice to become the fastest player to reach 100 goals in Bundesliga history. Kane reached the century mark in his 98th league appearance, beating the previous record of 129 matches established by Dieter Müller in 1977. The striker added a second-half header to bring his Bundesliga count to 101 goals and his overall tally for Bayern to 156 goals in 156 matches across all competitions. The accomplishment adds to Kane's club records as the fastest Bayern player to reach 75, 100, and 150 goals. After leaving the locker room past midnight, Kane carried a traditional gingerbread heart inscribed with 100, prepared before the start of Munich's Oktoberfest.

Olise stars in seven-goal rout

The scoring began in the 18th minute when Jamal Musiala fired home an opening goal from an Alphonso Davies cutback. French winger Michael Olise then orchestrated the remainder of the first half, drawing a penalty in the 39th minute when Union defender Tom Rothe brought him down inside the box. Kane converted the spot-kick, and Olise added Bayern's third goal four minutes later with a curling shot from the edge of the penalty area set up by Musiala. Union Berlin created their clearest chance early in the second half, but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer produced two saves in quick succession to deny Janik Haberer. In the 54th minute, Olise delivered the cross that Kane headed in for his second goal of the match.

Second-half surge and Saibari milestone

Bayern extended their advantage in the 70th minute when substitute Ismael Saibari scored his first competitive goal for the club. Olise then completed his first hat-trick for Bayern by scoring two goals in quick succession in the 73rd and 76th minutes. The result represents Union Berlin's heaviest defeat in their Bundesliga history. Inside the locker room, the team held multiple speeches, including remarks from Kane, Saibari, and Olise, who kept his address brief. Olise collected the match ball for his teammates to sign after skipping post-match television interviews. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany praised the French attacker's performance and character after the match.

Michael is a complete package. He has been playing at this level for almost two and a half years.

— Vincent Kompany

Table standing and post-match reactions

The victory leaves Bayern in first place with 10 points from four matches, one point ahead of SC Freiburg. Kane brought his season numbers to six goals and two assists in seven appearances, and addressed questions regarding his contract, which runs through the end of the season.

The talks are ongoing and they'll be ongoing for the near future. You can see the way I'm playing and the way I connect with the fans. Munich in 2028? Maybe. It'll be a special one.

— Harry Kane

Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany confirmed the squad would complete their traditional visit to Oktoberfest on Sunday ahead of upcoming fixtures.

I want to go there because it's a good time with family and friends. I just want to do something normal for once.

— Vincent Kompany
