Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez has been extradited to the United States to face trial for participating in a cocaine-importation conspiracy and related firearms offences. Hernandez indictment by the U.S. Justice Department marked a stunning fall from grace for the former Washington ally who led the Central American nation from 2014 to January 2022.

Manchester United will pay Cristiano Ronaldo a bonus of £850,000 following his hat-trick in their 3-2 win against Norwich.
