SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT). - U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes has named a 26-player January training camp to be held at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. The camp will conclude with matches against Paraguay on Jan. 24 at DHSP and Jan. 27 against Chile at Harder Stadium in Santa Barbara, Calif. Tickets for both matches are available on ussoccer.com.

Roughy 11,000 tickets have already been sold for the match at UCSB.

The roster features the return of forward Trinity Rodman, who played in just one USWNT match in 2025, a 2-0 victory over Brazil at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. In that match, she scored the game-winning goal. Rodman, 23, has the most caps (47) and goals (11) of anyone on the roster. The other 22 field players on the roster have a combined 17 international goals. That match against Brazil was Rodman’s only USWNT appearance since the 2024 Olympic gold medal match on Aug. 10, 2024. Rodman is a Southern California native, growing up in Orange County, not far from DHSP.

As the January training camp falls outside a FIFA competition window, Hayes named a roster made up entirely of players from the National Women’s Soccer League, with Rodman currently unattached, including four first-time call-ups in forwards Maddie Dahlien (Seattle Reign FC) and Reilyn Turner (Portland Thorns FC) and midfielders Riley Jackson (North Carolina Courage) and Sally Menti (Seattle Reign FC). Dahlien and Jackson featured in all five U.S. U-23 WNT events in 2025 and were on the roster for the January 2025 Futures Camp in Florida. Menti was in two U.S. U-23 WNT camps last year.

Dahlien and Jackson also played key roles in the USA’s third-place finish at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, a team that featured four additional players on this USWNT roster in defenders Jordyn Bugg and Gisele Thompson, midfielder Claire Hutton and forward Ally Sentnor, who returns from the senior team roster after helping lead the U.S. Under-23 WNT to wins over the Slovakia WNT (1-0) and England’s U-23s (4-2) during the last FIFA window. Sentnor scored in both matches.

(CNN) — If you’re hoping to file your 2025 federal income tax return as soon as possible, the first day the IRS will start accepting returns is January 26, the agency said on Thursday.

Not an early bird? No problem. You have until Wednesday, April 15 to file your return and pay any remaining taxes you still owe for last year.

But if you think you’ll need more time to file, just request an automatic six-month extension to avoid a failure-to-file penalty. Remember, though, that you still must pay any remaining taxes you owe to the IRS no later than April 15 to avoid the failure-to-pay penalty.

Filers who live or do business in a federally declared disaster area may get an automatic extension to file their 2025 taxes – but their new, extended deadlines will vary depending on when and where the disaster was. This page on the IRS site will have the latest information by state.

In any case, whenever you decide to prepare your 2025 tax return, you may want to take a little more time than usual doing so, because a number of tax changes were made under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that was signed into law last July. And at least a few of them will affect you directly. [Here’s a rundown of the some of the most notable changes for individual filers that went into effect for 2025.]

“IRS information systems have been updated to incorporate the new tax laws and are ready to efficiently and effectively process taxpayer returns during the filing season,” said IRS CEO Frank Bisignano.

(CNN) — Protests fueled by crippling economic conditions have swept across Iran’s provinces, as authorities revert to their tested playbook of cracking down without offering viable solutions to grievances driving public anger.

Millions of Iranians are grappling with rampant inflation and a plummeting currency, as thousands took to the streets in demonstrations that turned violent after the deployment of government security forces.

What began last month as organized protests in Tehran’s bazaars and universities has gradually spread to cities nationwide. Experts said the leaderless and uncoordinated movement turned violent as economic protests intertwined with political ones.

“This feels different because it’s about the people’s buying power and people really can’t afford anything,” said a 30-year-old Tehran resident who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “Prices keep going up almost hour-by-hour at this point, but how it ends no one really knows. … Everyone feels worried.”

How did the protests start?

When shopkeepers in the narrow streets of Tehran’s Grand Bazaar protested the government’s failing economic policies last week, their chants rattled the regime.

Exacerbating the situation, the central bank decision last week to end a program allowing some importers to access cheaper US dollars compared to the rest of the market – a decision that led shopkeepers to increase prices.

Prices of basic goods like cooking oil and chicken dramatically spiked overnight and some products vanished all together. The volatility pushed the bazaaris to close shop, a drastic measure for a group traditionally supportive of the Islamic Republic.

After days of protests and crackdown, the reformist-ruled government attempted to alleviate the pressure by offering direct cash handouts – almost $7 per month, saying at the same time that it alone cannot solve the crisis.

“We should not expect the government to handle all of this alone,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a televised speech Monday.

How big are the protests now

Iranian provinces as far west as Ilam, a Kurdish-majority region bordering Iraq, and Lorestan, have emerged as restive hotspots. Fueled by ethnic division and poverty, crowds set fire to the streets and chanted “Death to Khamenei,” directly challenging Iran’s Supreme Leader, who holds ultimate authority over the nation’s religious and state affairs.

The city became a focal point this week after wounded protesters were taken to a hospital, only for security forces to subsequently raid the facility and arrest them in an incident that sparked widespread condemnation from human rights groups and prompted the government to promise an investigation.

Iranian state affiliated Fars news agency said 950 police forces and 60 personnel from the paramilitary Basij force have been injured in the protests mostly in confrontations with “rioters” in western provinces “equipped with firearms, grenades, and weapons.”

People in more than 100 cities have taken to the streets since demonstrations began 11 days ago, including the capital Tehran.

At least 38 people have been killed and over 2,000 arrested in the ensuing crackdown, human rights organizations based outside Iran claimed. CNN could not independently verify the numbers of those killed and arrested, and Iranian state news organizations have sometimes reported individual deaths without reporting a comprehensive tally.

How are protests different this time?

The ongoing protests are the biggest since the large scale and deadly protests that were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa A
