ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet with Vladimir Putin on Monday, hoping to persuade the Russian leader to rejoin the Black Sea grain deal that Moscow broke off from in July.Here are some key things to know and what’s at stake:WHERE WILL THE TALKS BE HELD?The meeting in Sochi on Russia’s southern coast comes after weeks of speculation about when and where the two leaders might meet. Erdogan previously said that Putin would travel to Turkey in August.WHY DID RUSSIA LEAVE THE GRAIN DEAL?The Kremlin refused to renew the grain agreement six weeks ago. The deal — brokered by the United Nations and Turkey in July 2022 — had allowed nearly 33 million metric tons (36 million tons) of grain and other commodities to leave three Ukrainian ports safely despite Russia’s war.However, Russia pulled out after claiming that a parallel deal promising to remove obstacles to Russian exports of food and fertilizer hadn’t been honored.Moscow complained that...Russians press Ukraine in the northeast to distract from more important battles in counteroffensive

LYMAN, Ukraine (AP) — Concealed under pine branches in the forests of northeast Ukraine, the muzzle of a Soviet-era howitzer rises, aiming for a group of approaching Russian infantrymen many kilometers away.A Ukrainian soldier signals to fire, then swiftly runs for cover. The thunderous crash of the unleashed projectile sends a pall of black smoke billowing above jabs of yellow flames. A pile of spent shells in the nearby foliage grows by the day.Here, along a small section of the 1,200-kilometer (745-mile) front line, Moscow’s army is staging a ferocious push designed to pin down Ukrainian forces, distract them from their grinding counteroffensive and minimize the number of troops Kyiv is able to send to more important battles in the south.The Kremlin tactic threatens to further slow the pace of the counteroffensive that was launched almost three months ago. Kyiv’s effort to reclaim Russian-occupied territory has produced minimal gains and heavy losses, and time is running sh...Saturday Night Five: Colorado and Utah lead as quarterbacks shine and the Pac-12 remains perfect

Instant reaction to Pac-12 developments in Week 1 …1. Stellar startA catastrophic summer gave way to an idyllic weekend for the Pac-12 — at least thus far.One team, Oregon State, has yet to take the field. But the other 11 are perfect through the first Saturday of the season.The list of accomplishments includes the Colorado stunner at TCU, Utah thumping Florida, Washington’s blowout victory over Boise State and decisive road wins by Stanford, Cal and Washington State.Put another way: For one weekend, the Pac-12 more than justified the offseason hype.Not surprisingly, the powerhouse offenses across the conference carried the day — and they did so in historic fashion.For the first time since at least 1980, five teams scored at least 50 points, according to STATS. Oregon (81), USC (66), Washington (56), Washington State (50) and Cal (58) — yes, Cal — all got halfway to 100.If Oregon State takes care of business Sunday at San Jose State, the Pac-12 wi...Mayden runs for a pair of TDs as San Diego State beats Idaho State 36-28
