"I'm probably pretty irritating to them," Brady admitted to Fallon with a laugh. "They want me to stand outside the arena when they're playing. They're like, 'Dad, don't come in here.'"

"But I love watching 'em play," he added. "I always kind of, especially when I go to the opposing schools, [wear] the hat, hoodie, [and go] as far down, as far away from every other parent. Because you just want the attention focused on the kids, and that's where it should be."

Back in February, Bradyrecapped his latest family vacation to Milanwith several snaps onInstagram, posing alongside his two younger kids. He captioned the images with a sweet message about their exciting trip to Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

"We had the BEST trip to Milan 🇮🇹 to cheer on some incredible sports stars while spending quality time exploring and learning from so many new people and places!" Brady wrote in the caption.

"Relationships are built on shared experience and there is nothing like finding new cities to spend time with the people you love (just missing you Jack during basketball season back at home ❤️)," he added.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Efforts to quickly and quietlyoust the presidentof the University of Wisconsin system drew fire Friday from a Republican legislative leader who said he was "troubled" that the board of regents is threatening to remove Jay Rothman without any explanation.

Rothmanhas been president of the multicampus 165,000-student university system since 2022. He said in letters to regents first obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday that they were trying to force him to resign or face being fired without explanation. The letters were the first public indication that Rothman's job was in jeopardy and took university and state government officials by surprise.

Regents the AP contacted have declined to comment.

"This lack of transparency is unacceptable," Republican state Rep. David Murphy, chair of the Wisconsin Assembly's colleges and universities committee, said in a Friday statement. "President Rothman deserves to know exactly why the Board has lost confidence in his leadership."

Rothman's tenure has been marked by his efforts to increase state funding amid federal cuts, debates over free speech on campus amid pro-Palestinian protests, and declining enrollment leading to eight branch campus closures.

Murphy, a frequent critic of the university, praised Rothman's work, saying "he has made tough decisions to sustain our campuses and protect educational access for Wisconsin students."

"I am concerned that the push to oust him may actually stem from his strong support for free speech and open inquiry on our campuses—core principles that must be defended in higher education," Murphy said.

Murphy called on the board of regents to give a "full explanation" for why they want Rothman out or "stand down from this effort."

Rothman has had to navigate negotiations with a Republican-controlled Legislature during his tenure and a board of regents with a majority of appointees from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. The board was controlled by Evers appointees when Rothman was hired.

Evers spokesperson Britt Cudaback did not return messages Thursday or Friday seeking comment.

Evers is not seeking a third term, meaning there will be a new governor next year with the power to make appointments to the board of regents. The board is in charge of hiring and firing university leaders.

Rothman raised the possibility of resigning in 2023 when the board of regentsrejected a dealreached with legislative Republicans over diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. The board laterreversed its voteand approved the deal.

The fight over Rothman's future also comes as the flagship Madison campus is losing its chancellor.Jennifer Mnookinis leaving at the end of the current academic year in May to take the job as president of Columbia University.

Rothman, the former chair and CEO of the Milwaukee-based Foley & Lardner law firm, had no prior experience administering higher education.

His salary as UW president is $600,943.

ATHENS, April 3 (Reuters) - Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis reshuffled his cabinet on Friday, as he seeks to limit the fallout ‌from a growing scandal over alleged fraud related to European Union farm funds.

Last year ‌European prosecutors charged dozens of Greek stockbreeders with faking ownership of pastureland to claim millions of euros in EU ​subsidies, allegedly with the help of state employees and conservative politicians.

The affair had already prompted ministerial resignations and led the European Union last year to impose a hefty fine on the country over mismanagement of the subsidies by its OPEKEPE payment agency.

But in a move that widened the ‌investigation, the European Chief Prosecutor on ⁠Wednesday asked the Greek parliament to lift the immunity of at least 11 lawmakers, including ministers, so they can be investigated over their alleged ⁠roles in the scheme.

The EU prosecutor has not named the lawmakers and ministers, who are protected from prosecution by the constitution unless parliament lifts their immunity. A minister and four senior officials in ​the government ​resigned last year for their alleged role in ​the fraud.

On Friday, Mitsotakis appointed Margaritis ‌Schinas, a former European Commission vice-president for Promoting the European Way of Life, as agriculture minister.

Schinas, a former member of the European Parliament as well as a long-serving Commission official, replaces Kostas Tsiaras.

Evangelos Tournas, a retired Greek air force officer, was named climate crisis and civil protection minister, replacing Giannis Kefalogiannis. Earlier, a deputy health minister, a party secretary and the government's parliamentary ‌spokesman had resigned.

Mitsotakis' New Democracy party holds 156 seats ​in Greece's 300-seat parliament.

The latest probe concerns alleged crimes ​against the EU's financial interests in ​2021, including instigation of breach of trust, computer fraud and false attestation ‌with the intent to obtain an unlawful ​benefit.

The OPEKEPE agency handles ​more than 2 billion euros ($2.31 billion) in annual EU farm aid.

Opposition parties dismissed the reshuffle and renewed calls for early elections.

"No reshuffle can save a government built around a ​majority of people investigated by ‌the judiciary," the Socialist PASOK party, the main opposition, said in a statement.

The ​new cabinet members will be sworn in on Saturday.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A channel affiliated with Iranian state television claimed Friday that a U.S. fighter pilot ejected from their aircraft oversouthwestern Iran. The U.S. did not respond immediately to requests for comment on the claim.

APTOPIX Iran War

It was not clear what may have happened to the plane, including whether Iran was claiming it was shot down or had another issue. If the claim is confirmed, it could lead to yet another dramatic escalation in the war, nearing the end of its fifth week.

Iran fired on targets across the Mideast on Friday, as Tehran kept the pressure on Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors, despite U.S. and Israeli insistence thatIran's military capabilitieshave been all but destroyed.

Iran's attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure and itstight grip on the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil and natural gas transits in peacetime, have roiled stock markets, sent oil prices skyrocketing, and threatened to raise the cost of many basic goods, including food.

Television anchor urges residents to hand over pilot

The anchor on the Iranian channel urged residents to hand over any "enemy pilot" to police and promised a reward for anyone who did. The channel is in Kohkilouyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, an intensely rural and mountainous region that spans over 15,500 square kilometers (5,900 square miles).

Authorities also urged the public to search for the pilot in neighboring Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.

Throughout the war, Iran has made a series of claims about shooting down piloted enemy aircraft that turned out not to be true. Friday was the first time that Iran went on television urging the public to look for a suspected downed pilot.

An on-screen crawl earlier urged the public to "shoot them if you see them," referring to social media footage circulating of what appeared to be U.S. aircraft in the area. The channel showed metal debris in the back of a pickup truck while making the announcement but provided no other immediate details.

Iran targets a desalination plant and a refinery

The claim came after Kuwait's Mina al-Ahmadi oil refinery came under Iranian attack, and the state-run Kuwait Petroleum Corp. said firefighters were working to control several blazes.

Kuwait also said an Iranian attack caused "material damage" to a desalination plant. Such plants are responsible for most of the drinking water for Gulf states, and they have become a major target in the war.

Sirens also sounded in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia said it had destroyed several Iranian drones, and Israel reported incoming missiles.

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates shut down a gas field after a missile interception reportedly rained debris on it and started a fire.

Activists reported strikes around Tehran and the central city of Isfahan, but it wasn't immediately clear what was hit. A day earlier, Iran said the U.S. hit a major bridge, which was still under construction,killing eight people.

In Lebanon, where Israel has launched a ground invasion in its fight with the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militant group, an Israeli drone strike on worshippers leaving Friday prayers near Beirut killed two people, according to the state‑run National News Agency

More than 1,900 people have been killed in Iran since the war began on Feb. 28 with U.S. and Israeli strikes. In a review released Friday, the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data, a U.S.-based group, said it found that civilian casualties were clustered around strikes on security and state-linked sites "rather than indiscriminate bombardment" of urban areas.

More than two dozen people have died in Gulf states and the occupied West Bank, 19 have been reported dead in Israel, and 13 U.S.service membershave been killed.

More than 1,300 peoplehave been killedand more than 1 million displaced in Lebanon. Ten Israeli soldiers have also died there.

World leadershave struggledto end Iran's stranglehold on the strait, which has had far-reaching consequences for the global economy and has proved to be itsgreatest strategic advantagein the war.

The U.N. Security Council wasexpected to take up the matteron Saturday.

U.S. President Donald Trump has vacillated on America's role in the strait, alternately threatening Iran if it doesn't open the waterway and telling other nations to "go get your own oil." On Friday, he said in a post on social media that, "With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE."

Spot prices of Brent crude, the international standard, were around $109 Friday, up more than 50% since the start of the war, when Iran began restricting traffic through the strait.

Former Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif — a diplomat with long experience negotiating with the West who remains close to a pragmatic wing of Iran's leadership — wrote on Friday in Foreign Affairs magazine that the time has come to end what he referred to as a stalemate.

The U.S. and Iran have proposed dueling plans, and Zarif's proposal included elements of both in a sign part of Iran's leadership might be willing to negotiate.

Iran "should offer to place limits on its nuclear program and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for an end to all sanctions — a deal Washington wouldn't take before but might accept now," he wrote.

It's not clear how much to read into the proposal from Zarif, who has no official position in Iran's government, but would likely not have published such a piece without at least some authorization from senior leaders.

ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia (AP) — Olympic gold medalist Lin Yu-ting won her quarterfinal bout at the Asian boxing championships on Friday in her first event since World Boxing said she passed agene testto confirm her gender.

Taiwan's first Olympic boxing championbeat Thananya Somnuekof Thailand 5-0 in the first round in the 60-kilogram lightweight division earlier this week.

She backed that up Friday with another 5-0 win over Ayaka Taguchi of Japan, the top-seeded woman in the division. Lin won every round on all five judges' scorecards, securing a perfect score of 10 in each round.

The 30-year-old Lin had not competed internationally since winning the women's 57-kg featherweight title at the Paris Olympics in August 2024.

World Boxing took over as the sport's Olympic-level governing body last year, and itimplemented a sex eligibility policyin August requiring all fighters to take a one-time genetic test designed to identify the presence of a Y chromosome.

World Boxing didn't confirm Lin's eligibility until March 19.

It was not clear whether Lin will have to undergo further gene testing if she wants to compete again at the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee announced last weeknew rulesbanning transgender athletes and a mandatory gene test once in an athlete's career.

Lin andImane Khelifof Algeriawon gold medals at Parisamid international scrutiny and misconceptions over both boxers' sex. While both met the eligibility rules followed at the time by the IOC, which ran the Paris tournament, the two fighters' success sparked a politically charged debate over those standards.

Lin is expected to fight in the Asian tournament semifinals on Monday.
