Manchester City have been dealt a double injury blow with Kyle Walker and John Stones both ruled out of Sunday’s title showdown with Arsenal. The pair were injured while on international duty with England and looked set to be last-minute fitness decisions, but on Friday afternoon the City boss ruled both out of contention for the Etihad clash. In brighter news for the Spaniard, Jack Grealish was back on the training ground and looks set to be available for the first time in a month. And there was a further encouraging development as Ederson also trained with team-mates and is…

Jurgen Klopp says he understands Xabi Alonso’s decision to remain at Bayer Leverkusen having himself turned down a chance to join Bayern Munich. Alonso’s Friday announcement disappointed fans of both Bayern and Liverpool who had hoped that European football’s brightest managerial talent was tempted by the vacant posts at clubs he represented as a player. Unsurprisingly, it was the first topic of conversation when Klopp faced the media on Friday afternoon and while the German would not be drawn on the issue of his own replacement, he was happy to draw parallels with a similar situation in his own career. “I can speak…
References from conservative justices to a long-dormant chastity law during the Supreme Court’s arguments in a major abortion pill case this week are bringing new attention to the 19th century statute, which prohibits the mailing of drugs used for abortions among other “obscene, lewd, lascivious” or “indecent” materials. The Comstock Act, as the law is known, is not central to the current Supreme Court case. However, comments from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito showcase how the law is shaping up to be both a flashpoint in the legal battle over abortion and a potential election-year issue for voters. There…
A sitting federal judge on Thursday harshly criticized Donald Trump’s attacks on the judge overseeing the former president’s criminal case tied to alleged hush money payments, telling CNN that such statements threaten the viability of the American legal system. US District Judge Reggie Walton spoke with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” in the wake of Trump’s attacks on Judge Juan Merchan, which helped prompt the New York judge to issue a gag order on the former president earlier this week. It is unusual for federal judges to speak publicly, especially about specific political or legal situations. “It’s very disconcerting to have someone making…
The Kremlin’s security services were aware of an ISIS threat days before a deadly attack on a concert hall near Moscow, Russian intelligence documents obtained by a UK-based investigative organization suggest. According to the London-based Dossier Center, the documents showed ethnic Tajiks radicalized by ISIS-K – the Central Asian offshoot of the terror group ISIS – could have been involved. At least 143 people were killed last Friday in the deadliest attack on Russia in decades, when assailants stormed Crocus City Hall with guns and incendiary devices, just before a concert was to be held. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack with statements, photos, and a…

New-generation weight-loss drugs can retail for about $1,350 a month, but a new study from Yale University suggests they cost just $22 to make. Similarly, life-saving insulin can be manufactured for well under $250 a year, the study found, but it took pressure from the Biden administration to bring out-of-pocket costs for many Americans down to about $420 annually. Everyone likes to complain about how much drug companies are overcharging for medications, but it’s been nearly impossible to know how much it actually costs to get a dose from a laboratory bench to a patient’s bloodstream. Now, a Yale postdoctoral researcher has provided rare transparency on the…

Barack Obama and Bill Clinton joined President Joe Biden Thursday night in New York at the most lucrative fundraiser of the 2024 campaign, warning fellow Democrats that Donald Trump must be defeated while making forceful cases for Biden’s reelection. “Joe is absolutely right that we’ve got not just a nominee, but frankly a party and an entire infrastructure that increasingly seems unconcerned with the essence of America,” Obama said of Trump and Republicans. “The idea of self-governance and the possibilities of us all fully operating and bridging our differences and moving forward. “But we also have a positive story to tell about the future,” Obama…

Details from the moments leading up to the devastating Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse were discovered in the cargo ship’s “black box” voyage data recorder (VDR) as the pilot tried to alert authorities to the oncoming disaster. The Dali, 984-foot Singapore-flagged vessel, reportedly lost power while transitioning out of Baltimore Harbor and struck the bridge at about 1:27 a.m. Tuesday, the National Transportation Safety Board said. The bridge, a nearly 2-mile critical artery in East Coast shipping, crashed into the Patapsco River within seconds. Local, state, and federal officials established a Unified Command in response to the collapse. On Thursday, the command announced it had paused dive operations and…
More than 200 people died in road crashes during the Easter weekend last year in Limpopo, South Africa A bus heading to an Easter festival veered off a bridge and fell nearly 200 feet in South Africa on Thursday, killing at least 45 passengers, authorities said.

Miraculously, not everyone on board the bus at the time of the crash perished. The…
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd describes straight-to-jail approach for squatters A tough-on-crime Florida sheriff didn’t mince words when it came to squatters, promising to give the freeloaders a new place in the county jail if they try their “gimmicks” in his jurisdiction. “When you come to this community, and you violate the state laws, the people’s laws will lock you up,” Sheriff Grady Judd said in an interview with Fox News Digital. Judd, who has made headlines for telling gun-owning residents to turn robbers into “grated cheese,” oversees law enforcement for the 725,046 residents of Polk County. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Wednesday that…
FROM FEMI ADEBAYO’S WIFE: You all are quick to bring people down. How does the person who present an award be blamed for it? So if AMVCA gives an award to someone you believe is not deserving, you’ll blame the presenter of the award and not the AMVCA or judges?!!! Where are your brains? Well I don’t blame you all, I blame the so called colleagues (enemies disguised as friends) Who find it easier to publicly call you out at every opportunity rather than putting a call through to you! Femi is damn too hardworking and supportive! Madam, karma will…
