The Brazilian winger caught the attention of the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham in the January window, but opted to stay in France for the remainder of the season. Malcom, 20, has suggested he will be looking for a new club ahead of next season, however, revealing that Bordeaux have “promised” he can leave in the summer, and Bayern are expected to be in for him when the transfer window opens again....

The Gunners duo have become regulars in Arsene Wenger’s starting XI over the last year, with Bellerin cementing the right-back spot as his own and Iwobi impressing on either flank throughout last season. Wenger is keen to reward both players for their efforts on the pitch and believes 20-year-old Iwobi’s increasingly influential performances in attack warrant a further pay raise after signing a new contract as recently as six months ago....

Wenger, who will step down at the end of the season, made an emotional farewell to Gunners fans on Sunday as his final home game in charge of the club ended in a 5-0 win over Burnley. Speculation persists over who will replace the 68-year-old, with former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri and Liverpool assistant Zeljko Buvac among the favourites. Djourou admits replacing Wenger is an almost impossible job, but he believes Arteta, who has worked alongside Pep Guardiola at Manchester City for the last two years, could be a shrewd choice....

Arthralgia can be experienced anywhere you have a joint—the point of connection between two bones—such as the wrists, knees, ankles, or elbows. The pain can be described as sharp, dull, stabbing, shooting, burning, or throbbing, and it can range in intensity from mild to severe. Because arthralgia is usually a symptom of a larger condition happening in your body, you may need additional medical testing before your healthcare provider can determine the underlying cause of your joint pain....

Using a tractor, a plow and a rotary harrow, Gambarin carved larger-than-life artwork into dry corn and wheat fields, urging Italians to conserve water, Euronews reported. The message, said the network, comes amid the worst drought Italy has experienced in 70 years. According to the BBC, the drought—caused by hotter-than-usual temperatures and little rainfall—“threatens more than 30 percent of Italy’s agricultural produce.” With that in mind, the government declared a state of emergency on Tuesday in five northern regions surrounding the Po River: Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto....

Dani Ploeger traveled to Ukraine several times in recent years as tensions remained high in the country after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. A veteran activist and artist, he was no stranger to living in conflict zones and decided to try to reflect the “suspense” of war. Ploeger created the work called Line of Contact and used Virtual Reality (VR) technology to help bring attention to an “aspect of warfare” that is often not understood or even imagined, he told Newsweek....

U.S. and British officials have grown increasingly disenchanted with Karzai, who is now viewed as isolated in Kabul and surrounded by corrupt or incompetent ministers. Things are not much better next door in Pakistan, where militant Islamist groups have grown bolder and the embattled Musharraf is under pressure to step down. Like Karzai, Musharraf has begun lashing out publicly against what he sees as Western interference. Khalilzad had a successful stint as U....

ESPN first reported the suspension, without giving a reason. The NFL announced that it was for another substance-abuse violation. After his suspension in May, Alexander admitted he failed a drug test and apologized to the Panthers and their fans “for the effect of my mistake on the team.” The last game of his original suspension had been Sunday’s loss in Baltimore. He rejoined the team Monday, and his return was being hailed as a relief for a defense that will be missing defensive end Greg Hardy indefinitely while he awaits a jury trial on domestic-violence charges....

Friday marks the fourth day of an intense standoff between law enforcement and protesters who have set up an around-the-clock eviction blockade in front of the house, equipped with makeshift barriers and onsite camping. The demonstrators are fighting to take back ownership of the home that previously belonged to the Kinney family for 65 years. “We refuse to let another eviction happen. Outraged at the treatment of this Afro-Indigenous family, the Portland community has united to save the Red House on Mississippi, rallying support around the family to reclaim the house and hold the land in a 24/7 eviction blockade,” the organizers wrote on their GoFundMe page....

Azerbaijan and Armenia, two former Soviet nations, began fighting at their shared border on Tuesday and both sides say the other is to blame for the fighting. Meanwhile, Kyrgyzstan accused Tajikistan on Friday of new shelling after the two ex-Soviet states reached a ceasefire deal in another dispute, Reuters reported.

The State Department announced Wednesday that a delegation headed by Deputy Secretary Wendy Sherman met with a Russian team led by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov in Geneva to mark the beginning of the U.S.-Russia Strategic Stability Dialogue, which was outlined in last month’s summit between U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin. “The U.S. delegation discussed U.S. policy priorities and the current security environment, national perceptions of threats to strategic stability, prospects for new nuclear arms control, and the format for future Strategic Stability Dialogue sessions,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement....

With that in mind, the team made certain concessions — he would sit the second half of back-to-back games, he would miss practices and he would forego shoot-arounds. Regardless of these preparations, Miami’s worst fear with Wade became a reality. His age and bad knees caughtup to him, and the Wade we’ve come to know was reduced to little more than a complementary player — even if he was complementing the best player in the world....

Paine called right under blue skies in London, where the opening day was washed out due to rain. England captain Joe Root revealed he would also have bowled first if the coin had come down on the other side.

In a series of tweets, the World Cup champion reacted to North Carolina Courage defender Jaelene Hinkle’s claim she was denied opportunities with the team because of her Christian faith. “Your religion was never the problem,” Harris wrote in a tweet. “The problem is your intolerance and you are homophobic. You don’t belong in a sport that aims to unite and bring people together.” Harris’ clapback referenced a 2018 interview of Hinkle in which she explains her choice to withdraw from a 2017 USWNT invitation....

The motive behind the three shootings is not yet known, but the shootings all took place in businesses where most of the employees are Asian, legal authorities reported.

Five of the people were shot inside of Young’s Asian Massage Parlor around 5 p.m., The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports. Two died at the scene. Of three injured individuals transported to the hospital, two later died from their injuries....

Fibroids are benign, which means they are not cancerous. However, they can grow, leading to several potential problems over time. A person with a uterus who didn’t have symptoms may gradually start developing them, including heavy bleeding during periods, severe cramps, and fertility issues. When fibroid growth is gradual enough, people may normalize their symptoms, delaying diagnosis further. Jessica Shepherd, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Verywell Health and a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, discusses fibroids and explains why they may go undiagnosed until long after they’ve become an issue....
