Or at least he will if he is the player who left Real Madrid last summer rather than the player who moped his way through the second half of last season for Manchester United. He had been the key man for Madrid in both the semi-final and the final of the Champions League, showing a fine sense of timing as he led breakaway after breakaway, and it’s easy to forget how well he started the season for United....
Angelique Kerber entered the final of the Family Circle Cup tennis tournament beating defending champion Andrea Petkovic in an all-German semi-final match here. No.3 seed Petkovic seemed like an on-paper favourite against Kerber but the No.5 seed was the more dominant player on Saturday, winning 6-4, 6-4. “I’m so close with Andrea. We’re really good friends. It’s always tough to play against someone like that,” Kerber said after the match....
The remains belong to two species of the genus Phoebodus—a primitive group of now-extinct species which researchers previously only knew about due to the discovery of isolated teeth and fin spines, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. While ancient shark teeth are commonly found around the world, the latest find is surprising because shark skeletons are made of cartilage—a rubbery tissue that doesn’t preserve as well as bone....
In a small part of it anyway. The 72-year-old rebel’s immediate domain is a hallway the length of a football field, a clutch of aides and advisers, an office and an adjoining bedroom. The man who once racked up frequent-flier miles faster than a corporate executive now can’t venture farther than the grimy edge of Ramallah in the West Bank. Israel keeps its tanks parked just 100 yards from his office, their barrels trained in his direction....
Cooper made the remarks on the Monday night edition of his show Anderson Cooper 360. He said that Trump was using the daily briefings to “rewrite history” and cover up his “reprehensibly irresponsible” early response to COVID-19 while promoting himself politically. “What the president showed us today is what the nation’s top scientists have to deal with every day,” said Cooper. “A president who now uses these briefings as a re-election platform....
Andor, the highly-anticipated prequel series based on Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, has been enjoying a bit of a news dump lately along with the other Star Wars series set to premiere in the next couple of years. But a new interview with showrunner Tony Gilroy seems to shed some light on not only how the show begins in terms of Andor’s story, but also how it interacts with the canon....
Stoica discovered martial arts thanks to his father who was a former boxer. Alongside his brother, they sparred with each other during their younger years. Later on, he saw a movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme which inspired him to become a kickboxer. On 6 December at ONE: MARK OF GREATNESS, Stoica will face Anderson “Braddock” Silva in a welterweight kickboxing match at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur. He recalls how he got to this point in his life, and what fans can expect from him moving forward....
Now, the governor faces allegations that he and his team tried to hide the true extent of nursing home COVID deaths in New York to protect his reputation—despite the governor extolling the value of transparency in his own book. In the book, American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic, Cuomo wrote that he wanted all of his briefings to provide the public with “unbiased factual evidence” that explained the coronavirus, and its spread through the state....
The new program, called “Kid Detention,” is expected to be ready for broadcast in time for November sweeps, with the following promotional slogan: “One detention camp. Forty kids. No lawyers.” CBS said that filming would begin as soon as 40 children are “randomly rounded up.” Within hours of its announcement, CBS found itself under fire from Amnesty International. The organization warned of possible human-rights violations that could occur once the children arrive at Guantánamo....
Osaka, who also revealed she had been suffering from depression since 2018, went on to withdraw from the upcoming Wimbledon as well. In a recent interview, former World No. 1 and three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray voiced his support for Naomi Osaka. The Brit claimed that in his early years he was similarly unprepared to deal with the pressure of being a top athlete in the spotlight. Murray claimed he found it very hard to go from a relative unknown to the center of attention in the tennis world, and admitted he struggled to “deal with the press side of things”....
The discoveries were made at a location to the west of Chryssi, a small island near Crete, where ancient carved fish tanks can still be found preserved on the beach. According to the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports, the site, a large multi-room dwelling, would have been involved in the craft production of Tyrian (or “royal) purple dye, an extremely expensive and highly prized commodity, in the Late Minoan period circa 1800 to 1500 BCE....
Three days before Christmas, Onyekuru, while turning out for Anderlecht against his former club Eupen, suffered a knee injury. The forward was ruled out of action for up to six months, thus, leaving his chances to don the Super Eagles’ jersey at the global showpiece in huge doubt. But having returned to training earlier than expected, the Everton loanee is hoping to gatecrash Gernot Rohr’s plan for the tournament....
The Portugal international midfielder has endured a tough time at Camp Nou following a €35 million move from Valencia in the summer of 2016. His struggles have sparked talk of another switch, with Premier League giants United reported to be leading the chase and Serie A heavyweights AC Milan also in the hunt. Gomes was, however, to put in arguably his best performance for Barca during a 3-1 victory over Leganes on Saturday and is reluctant to be drawn into a debate on his future....
Cuomo has faced pressure to walk from his post amid allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior made by several women. A number of high profile Democratic lawmakers have urged Cuomo to quit. However, Biden did not join these calls when asked on Sunday if the New York governor should resign. “I think the investigation is underway and we should see what it brings us,” when asked whether Cuomo should walk....
The hearing is tied to a misdemeanor complaint filed by former aide Brittany Commisso, where she alleges the former New York governor fondled her during his tenure in office. Cuomo has denied the charge. Alongside Cuomo, prosecution and defense lawyers will also be required to meet virtually. Commisso alleges Cuomo once reached up her blouse and fondled her breast while they were alone. She is one of 11 women who have accused him of sexual harassment, according to a report released in August 2021 by state Attorney General Letitia James....
According to Colts coach Frank Reich, he wants Luck to rest and be as healthy as possible before the start of the season. “During the training session, just a little tweak, a little strain,” Reich told reporters Tuesday. “So my whole mode — and our whole mode — is going to be during this session just to be real conservative with anybody who has any issue whatsoever. “Where we’re at right now … we’ll just say, ‘Hey, play conservative this week....

So far we’ve had Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow and Nougat. The latest OS update is Oreo. When is the Android Oreo release date? Google unveiled the Developer Preview of Android O in March 2017, ahead of its May Google I/O Developer’s Conference....
In total, 1,893 Kentuckians are hospitalized, 529 are in an intensive care unit, and 301 are on a ventilator with the virus Monday, he said during a press conference. The state reported 2,596 new cases, an increase from 941 cases one month earlier. “They are sick enough to where they need hospitalization,” he said. “Not monitoring, but an actual staff hospital bed.” He said the state reached this point “so much quicker” than at other points in the pandemic and warned that the number of people becoming seriously ill from the virus will continue to grow....
Murray went down 6-4, 6-4 to Gasquet in his first singles match since January after undergoing hip resurfacing surgery, which left his career in doubt. The three-time grand slam champion was rusty and struggled with his serve just two weeks before the final grand slam of the year starts at Flushing Meadows. Murray later revealed that he will not be in the singles field in New York but plans to play in both the doubles and mixed doubles....
