A less-fancied side was paraded by coach Zinedine Zidane a fortnight ago against the third-tier club at the Estadio Fernando Torres, and although Madrid struggled throughout the game, two second-half goals from the spot by Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez were enough for the La Liga team to put one foot in the next round. Annor, 19, came on in the second-half but couldn’t find the back of the net after several attempts....
The Irving Police Department in Texas posted the anonymous letter to its Facebook page, stating that it was aware of the letter “received by a member of the community.” The letter posted by the department begins by addressing the community members as “a**holes.” “American citizens in IT industry and other professional fields have lost their jobs to many Indians and Chinese,” the letter says. “We asked you to leave the country without further delay....
Both Hagel and McCain, contenders in the 2008 race for the White House, realize that Iraq is going to be a make or break issue for the presidential elections next year and are staking out their positions. McCain was apparently trying to shore up the conservative base on his visit by highlighting security improvements in Baghdad–a tactic that backfired when he admitted that a huge security detail had escorted him throughout the city....

This description will be redundant to the millions of readers of the fifth installment of Harry’s adventures—an 870-page epic that had to shed many pounds to squeeze into a two-and-a-quarter-hour movie. Those who have not read the book, however, may wonder how J. K. Rowling could have devoted so many pages to what seems, on screen, the slightest, most water-treading of the series. A new screenwriter, Michael Goldenberg, replaces Steve Kloves, and the British TV director David Yates has taken the reins....
All the latest rumours Menez only joined Les Girondins in August 2016 after being released by AC Milan, but his solitary season at Stade Matmut Atlantique was disrupted by numerous injuries.

Antalyaspor announced Menez’s signing with a short video on their official Twitter account which showed the 24-times capped France international saying “we are Antalyaspor”....
Computer simulations suggest the protective buffers, each several hundred meters thick, are disappearing at an accelerated rate. They accounted for an often-overlooked narrow ocean current along the coast. It shows rapidly flowing freshwater trapping the dense warm ocean at the base. This causes it to liquefy even more, threatening its ability to stop the ice sheet from falling in. It would mirror the plot of the disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow....

Davis was ruled out of Game 5 because of a left groin strain that he suffered earlier in the first-round series.

“There’s a vacuum of leadership inside the White House,” Scaramucci, who has become one of Trump’s harshest critics, despite formerly fundraising and working for the president, said during an interview with CNN. “He’s more or less moved out everybody that could potentially disagree with him or offer some level of dissent,” he added, as he discussed the president’s response to a weekend drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil fields....
A video of the incident was posted on social media by Twitter user Fifty Shades of Whey with a caption that read, “COVID-deniers in Los Angeles shine strobe lights onto the home of LA County’s Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer.” While the caption suggests the protesters were outside the home of Los Angeles County Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer’s home, the Los Angeles Department of Health told Newsweek that it was Mayor Garcetti’s home....

But the timing is no coincidence. The $50,000 ad-purchase that is set to run in Michigan and nationally on Fox News, as well as digital ads online, is a direct rebuke to Trump—it will come during his trip to a Ford Motor Co....
The event began in Brooklyn at the headquarters of the New York City Department of Education (DOE). The DOE’s recent employee mandate gave teachers until this past Friday to receive at least one dose of a COVID vaccine, or else they would not be allowed to return to work.

Beasley admitted the league had fined him the same amount for a similar undisclosed violation....
The message was shared toward the end of the rivalry game between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday. It read: “Kanye is right about the Jews.” West, 45, who now goes by Ye, has recently made a series of antisemitic remarks, including that he was “going death con 3 on Jewish people.” His comments led Adidas to terminate its business relationship with the musician, which saw his net worth plummet from $2 billion to $400 million within a few days, according to Forbes....
In Week 12, the Chiefs upended the Buccaneers 27-24 in, what would be, a Super Bowl preview.
