There is also every chance that the man filling the No. 1 berth on the teamsheet will be a towering presence who has previously impressed while on the books at Atletico Madrid. ‘Madrid should move for Courtois’ The only question at this stage is whether the Blues’ last line of defence will be Thibaut Courtois or someone else. With the Belgian continuing to be heavily linked with a summer switch to Real Madrid, suitable cover may be required at Stamford Bridge when the transfer window re-opens....

He defeated the Dane 7-5 6-3 to cap off an eventful season and now sits level on six ATP Finals titles with Roger Federer in the all-time list. Rafael Nadal had failed in his bid to win a first ATP Finals trophy but went out on a high and ensured he did not lose to a top-five ranked player in 2022 with a closing victory against Ruud during the group stage....

No, it’s not great. “Star Wars: Episode II–Attack of the Clones,” the fifth and penultimate installment in George Lucas’s series, has arrived. Will it be successful? Hey, will people go to church on Sunday? Lucas’s enterprise has long since passed out of the arena of mere entertainment and into the realm of pure faith. You’re either a true believer or an agnostic. To the former, its value is beyond debate, and all criticism a form of heresy....

U.S. and Saudi security officials, assisted by a team of FBI forensics experts sent out by Washington, launched an all-out investigation of the bombing-but despite competing claims of responsibility from three previously unknown Mideastern groups, the trail seemed to lead nowhere. At the weekend, speculation centered on the usual suspects: Iran, Iraq and Sudan, all hostile regimes that would be happy to shake the House of Saud. King Fahd ibn Abd al-Aziz al-Saud, the desert kingdom’s 72-year-old monarch, was described by one U....

‘RAW’ thoughts Am I the only one who … … thought the promo segment with Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker was the best thing on the show? Don’t get me wrong: I still have no interest in seeing the match between The Undertaker and Triple H at “Super ShowDown” from Australia on Oct. 6, but the verbal confrontation between old rivals “The Heartbreak Kid” and “The Dead Man” was compelling. It also planted a seed for another match between Michaels and Undertaker....

The video can be seen in full here. Highways across the city had been shut as a consequence of the heavy rainfall, and many drivers were forced to leave their cars at the side of freeways in order to be rescued by emergency services. The worker could be seen stepping over tornado debris while carrying parcels to be delivered. An emergency Servpro van was parked up behind him while workers were sorting through the rubble....

Search and rescue efforts are still underway early Saturday morning, with an evacuation taking dozens of workers via bus to a local police station to a local Pontoon Beach Police Department station. It was not immediately clear how many people are still inside the warehouse. The City of Edwardsville issued a statement to Newsweek on Saturday morning confirming “fatalities at the site.” “Efforts are being made to notify next of kin at this time,” the statement said....

Producers are currently facing a fan petition, topping 4.5 million signatures, to remove Amber Heard from the new Aquaman movie (already shot and due for release in 2023) after the recent trial between her and ex-husband Johnny Depp ended in Heard having to pay him significant damages. Depp himself lost the role of Fantastic Beasts’ Grindelwald to Mads Mikkelsen after he lost a defamation suit against U.K. newspaper The Sun who called him a “wife beater....

During the week’s long defamation trial between Heard and her ex-husband Johnny Depp, it emerged that Heard had not yet donated the full settlement to charity, as she had previously pledged. Guthrie questioned Heard about being “caught in a lie” and questioned whether this raised doubts about her “credibility” to the jury. “Do you think to the jurors sitting there that was you getting caught in a lie?” Guthrie asked....

As Heard embarks on her appeal to overturn the defamation suit she lost against ex-husband Johnny Depp, the screen star has hired two new lawyers: David L. Axelrod and Jay Ward Brown of the firm Ballard Spahr. Bredehoft, who represented Heard during the recent trial in Fairfax, Virginia, said in a statement shared with Newsweek that it’s “the perfect time to pass the baton.” “I have pledged to Amber and her appellate team my complete cooperation and assistance as they move forward on a path towards success,” Bredehoft added....

The aggressive Australian dueled early with Kyle Busch to fall off the pace in the NASCAR Nationwide race, then was flawless the rest of the way Saturday, holding off a hard-charging Busch at the end to win the race for the fourth time in his last four starts. “It’s just something special. I’m just so thrilled for the guys,” Ambrose said. “I had my tongue hanging out the whole day....

“Every time there’s a problem, people try to figure out how to fix it,” Dr. Robert Hebner, the director of the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Electromechanics, told Newsweek. “But the question is, how do we get ahead of these? The question is, who in this country is smart enough to make a billion-dollar investment to get ahead of a weather problem we’ve never had before?” Extreme weather has mounted a growing and frequent threat to Texas’ independently-operated electrical grid....

The obesity epidemic impacts over 42 percent of all Americans, and the numbers are even higher in the Black and Hispanic communities—with obesity rates of nearly 48 percent and nearly 45 percent, respectively. Overall, more than 70 percent of American adults are considered overweight. Recent studies clearly demonstrate that people with obesity and COVID-19 are at higher risk of getting seriously ill and hospitalized. One study out of the U....

Each year the American Institute of Architects singles out the nation’s Top Ten Green Projects, based on the incorporation of so-called sustainable design concepts. Is the project energy-efficient? Does it employ natural light and conserve water? Is the building designed to promote community interaction? In short, how does what we build have an impact on the world around us? Here, we spotlight four of 2006’s winners. A headquarters building is more than a roof over the head of the CEO; it’s a three-dimensional billboard advertising corporate values to the world....

Generally, the conversations surrounding who built America are based on theorized summations of it—the Lincolns, the Washingtons, the Roosevelts of the world whose names echo in textbooks and government buildings across the states. Their building and construction of America speaks to the mythology of law, order, democracy and power that surrounds how the country was founded. The idea of American fortitude, the ideal that rests on hard work and diligence; that these and these alone—not inherited wealth, stolen properties or gender and class and racial biases—will get you ahead in life, is very much the groundwork for modern racism as we see it....

More than 100 flights American Airlines that were due to depart on Tuesday or Wednesday have been canceled, according to the Flight Aware website. Tropical Storm Elsa, which is set to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday before moving on to Georgia and South Carolina, has already caused major disruption including the closing of airports such as Tampa International Airport and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. A number of flights coming in and out of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) were in the batch of canceled flights, with an American Airlines spokesperson confirming to Newsweek that this was weather related....

Their endorsement of the nationwide policy coincides with a federal appeals court in Florida considering whether the state can require former felons to pay hundreds to thousands in legal fees before having their right to vote restored, something advocates say amounts to a poll tax on poor people. “The American Bar Association urges federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to: repeal laws that disenfranchise persons based upon criminal conviction… [and] assure that no person convicted of crime is disenfranchised because of nonpayment of a fine, court costs, restitution or other financial obligations imposed as a result of a criminal conviction,” the resolution read....

Project Dynamo is a nonprofit organization of volunteer humanitarians, veterans and Gold Star family members. According to the group, it is working to get Americans out of Ukraine, where as many as 30,000 Americans live, according to Fox13. The group said that last month it began planning rescue operations for Ukraine by placing team members in the country. The group said the Biden administration’s warning for Americans to leave the country and the declaration that the government would not provide assistance served as the catalyst for the planning....

The latest poll, conducted by Pew from March 19 to March 24, found that two-thirds of U.S. adults believe COVID-19 poses a major threat to the health of the U.S. population, up from 47 percent the week prior; 88 percent of respondents said the virus poses a major threat to the economy, up from 70 percent the week prior. Nearly half of Americans think that a recession will occur due to the outbreak....
