Any doubts that "Succession" was based on Rupert Murdoch's family are quickly dashed in this seven-part documentary that's obsessed with figuring out which of his children will inherit the mogul's media empire. The real-life soap opera, based on an extensive investigation by The New York Times, uses a wide range of journalists to try to solve the mystery. Along the way, viewers get plenty of reasons why Roger Stone calls him "the most ruthless businessman in history." 9 p.m. ET Sunday, CNN

Tropical Depression Talas has unleashed fierce rainfall in parts of Japan, setting off landslides, halting trains and killing a man after he crashed his car into a pond. Police say the man who drove into the pond in central Japan's Shizuoka prefecture was rushed to a hospital but died. In another part of Shizuoka, rescue efforts are underway Saturday after a road collapsed from the heavy rainfall. The storm is the latest to batter Japan after typhoons have caused several deaths and damage in recent weeks. Talas is headed toward Tokyo and hammering a wide area around the capital with heavy showers.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — When Patrick Cantlay drained a putt from deep on one of the toughest par-4s on the course, Hideki Matsuyama and Tom Kim shook their heads and exchanged a smile as if to say, “What else can we do?”

ATLANTA — Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Friday that he will replace voting equipment in Coffee County after supporters of then-President Donald Trump and their computer analysts copied confidential data following the 2020 election.

Embattled Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee has resigned at the request of the city’s mayor Lauren McLean. The announcement came Friday afternoon amid complaints from officers, reported by KTVB this week, and after an investigation into an allegation that he injured a subordinate in a neck restraints demonstration last year. Boise City spokesperson Maria Weeg said “It became clear to the mayor the department needed different leadership.” City officials say Lee’s resignation will take effect Oct. 14, but he will be placed on leave until then. McLean appointed retired officer Ron Winegar as acting chief.

Craig Kimbrel won't be closing any more games for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts says Kimbrel will be used in different innings and different situations over the final two weeks of the regular season. Roberts isn't naming a replacement for Kimbrel in the ninth. The manager was noncommittal about Kimbrel's situation in the postseason. Kimbrel has struggled in his first season with the Dodgers. He has a 6-6 record and a 4.14 ERA. Kimbrel's career ERA is 2.33 over 13 seasons with six teams.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.1 has struck in the Pacific off southern Chile, but there are no early reports of damage. The U.S. Geological Survey says the epicenter of the quake Friday evening was 6.2 miles below the surface. It was 88 miles west of Ancud, a town 696 miles south of the Chilean capital, Santiago. Chile's National Emergency Office says authorities are checking for any “possible damage to people, alteration of basic services or infrastructure.” The Chilean navy’s Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service has ruled out the possibility of a tsunami.

Billy Horschel raced over to Max Homa on the 18th green and chest-bumped his playing partner after Homa’s birdie putt gave the United States a 1-up victory over the International team at the Presidents Cup and a commanding 8-2 lead after the second day of play. Then, as he walked away Horschel privately pumped his fist in the air, his own little bit of satisfactory celebration. The 35-year-old Horschel has always wanted to play for the US in a team format in an international competition but has never had the opportunity. So Friday was a dream come true for the fiery 2014 FedEx Cup champion.

Public school advocates who oppose a massive expansion of Arizona’s private school voucher system have filed enough signatures to block it from taking effect. The law extends the program to every child in the state. It will be on hold instead of taking effect Saturday. If a review finds that Save Our Schools Arizona has met the requirement for nearly 119,000 valid signatures it will remain blocked until the November 2024 election. Save Our Schools director Beth Lewis says the group turned in just under 142,000 signatures on Friday. Voters rejected an earlier  attempt to expand the voucher program by a 2/3 majority in the 2018 election.

After Minnesota went 1-7 on its road trip and fell out of contention in the AL Central, the team made the decision to shut down Buxton for the year.

Buxton, who was an All-Star for the first time this season, has been out since Aug. 23 due to a right hip strain.

The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was listed as questionable on the injury report after not participating in practice Friday. Herbert sustained a fractured rib cartilage after taking a hard hit from Kansas City defensive lineman Michael Danna during the fourth quarter of last Thursday night’s game against the Chiefs. Herbert was limited on Wednesday and went through most of his usual workload  Thursday as the Bolts prepare to host the Jacksonville Jaguars. Herbert said he felt good going through Thursday’s workout. He plans to get plenty of rest before testing his injury in pre-game warmups Sunday.

Republican J.R. Majewski insisted Friday that he would stay in the race for a competitive northwest Ohio congressional seat after The Associated Press reported earlier this week that he misrepresented key elements of his Air Force service. “I flew into combat zones often, specifically in Afghanistan and I served my country proud,” Majewski said at a news conference. The comments came amid growing fallout for Majewski, who repeatedly said he deployed to Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, but instead served a six-month stint loading and unloading planes while based in Qatar, according to records obtained by the AP through a public records request.

The matches were close at the end. The outcome was not. Max Homa delivered two late birdies for another U.S. win. The Americans won another session at the Presidents Cup by a 4-1 margin. That makes the lead 8-2 going into the weekend. And it makes another U.S. victory in these one-sided matches start to look inevitable. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were on hand for the action. The lone International point came from two ties. It's the second time on American soil they have a mathematical chance to end it on Saturday.

The U.S. Justice Department said 23-year-old Axel Cox chose to burn a cross in front of a Black family because of their race. He also allegedly addressed the family with racially derogatory language. A grand jury indicted Cox in September. The Gulfport, Mississippi, man is accused of violating his neighbors’ housing rights. Cox is being held without bond pending a Nov. 7 jury trial. His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Oregon state Rep. James Hieb will not face charges in connection with his August arrest for alleged disorderly conduct and other charges at Clackamas County Fairgrounds. A memo obtained by KOIN 6 News says the Clackamas County district attorney is declining to pursue charges based on a lack of evidence and a recent change in Oregon law. The Republican lawmaker from Canby previously said the incident happened after he had consumed four beers and then lit a cigarette. He says a woman asked him to put it out and then summoned officers. The district attorney determined Hieb’s behavior did not rise to the level of creating a disturbance to qualify for disorderly conduct.
