PEN America gathered Thursday night for its annual gala, a high-profile event raised even higher because some wondered if it would be held at all. The literary and human rights organization has faced ongoing criticism over its response to the Israel-Hamas War, with hundreds of writers alleging that PEN showed limited concern over the suffering of Gaza residents and the deaths of Palestinian writers and journalists.

Australian professional soccer has been rocked by accusations that the captain of A-League club Macarthur FC paid two younger teammates up to 10,000 Australian dollars ($6,600) to deliberately receive yellow cards in a scheme set up by a South American gambling connection. Australian media reports that Macarthur team leader Ulises Davila and fellow players Kearyn Baccus and Clayton Lewis were arrested by police Friday over their alleged involvement in the match-fixing scheme. Authorities still want to interview a fourth player allegedly involved in the scheme and have threatened to extradite him if he does not return to Australia to face questioning.
