Trump will be in Arizona on Saturday to headline a Republican “Rally to Protect Our Elections.” His visit to Arizona, a state he lost to President Joe Biden in November, comes as a GOP-led audit of election results in Maricopa County continues. Trump and his allies allege that significant fraud took place during the presidential election in November in a number of states, including Arizona. In a CNN interview yesterday, Hobbs said that Trump’s planned visit to the state is “dangerous”...

The BBC reported Saturday that Thames Valley Police detained the man, who reportedly had an “offensive weapon.” The suspect is 19 years old and hails from Southhampton, according to police. He was arrested within “moments” of intruding on the castle property. “The man has been arrested on suspicion of breach or trespass of a protected site and possession of an offensive weapon. He remains in custody at this time,” Thames Valley Police Superintendent Rebecca Mears said, the Associated Press reported....

But last July, only days before Edward was to return home to Fairbanks following a year of combat duty in Mosul, Tamara learned that his infantry battalion, the 4-23, was being sent to Baghdad to quell violence in the Iraqi capital. The extension was to last four months. That was the moment she snapped, she says. “Everyone has a breaking point, and that was mine,” says Bell. “He was exactly seven days away from coming home....

Embiid had taken a pass on the left wing and gone at Celtics center Aron Baynes. Embiid lowered his shoulder and plowed into Baynes once, then again. Baynes kept his arms vertical until Embiid went up, which is when Baynes brought his arms down. There was contact, but no whistle. Embiid missed the layup, tried a tip-in that missed and, when he came back down with the rebound, was stripped by Celtics guard Terry Rozier and lost the ball out of bounds....

The migrants included nine children and 43 women, and were taken back to the Mabani detention center in Tripoli, according to Safa Msehli, a spokeswoman for the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Msheli added that many of the migrants returned to Libya and the detention center were exhausted and suffering from dehydration. Since Tuesday, seven vessels smuggling migrants off Libya’s coast have been intercepted, Msehli said. Four of the vessels were intercepted on Wednesday....

What Is Arousal? As it sounds, arousal is when a person becomes ‘aroused’ or more alert to some extent during the sleep cycle. It is a change in brain wave activity. It does not necessarily mean waking up, but could just mean a shift out of extremely deep sleep to lighter sleep, from which it is easier to be woken up from. Change in Brain Wave Activity You might notice arousal during sleep....

It wasn’t until last week that the neighbors–and the rest of the country–learned what was going on behind that door. Mike Byrd had seen what he thought was a child pawing through his garbage for food and called the police. The little boy turned out to be Bruce Jackson, a starving 19-year-old. He and the three other boys–9 to 14, and weighing less than 50 pounds each–were subsisting on peanut butter, pancake batter, wallboard and possibly even insulation, according to authorities....

Spain playmaker Santi Cazorla scored second-half goals in a five-minute span for Arsenal in a 2-0 victory over Fulham that keeps the Gunners in the lead by a point. "It was just a question of time and Santi Cazorla delivered two special goals," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. "He was like the team, good in the first half and excellent in the second." City breezed past Cardiff 4-2 to pass the 100-goal mark this season in all competitions after just 34 matches, with Edin Dzeko, Jesus Navas, Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero all scoring in another brilliant attacking display....

WATCH: Ozil blasts Alexis & Monreal Former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas then lobbing Petr Cech after a poor clearance from the ex-Chelsea goalkeeper was the final nail in the coffin for a team who never looked like posing a genuine threat at Stamford Bridge throughout the 90 minutes. If Arsene Wenger’s side continue to put in performances like in this 3-1 defeat then they will be hard pressed to finish in the Premier League’s top four this season....

This wasn’t the School of Science; it was the School of Hard Knocks. Seamus Coleman – who scored the equaliser – tangled with Mesut Ozil as both teams made their way off at the interval and it sparked a mass brawl of sorts. James McCarthy clattered Francois Coquelin with a rude tackle from behind. Where Everton had been standoffish through the opening stages they instead got in the Gunners’ faces....

The Gunners valued £35 million at Alexis Sanchez from Manchester United and in return get Mkhitaryan in one of the highest-profile swap deals in Premier League history. Alexis, who will earn £450,000 per week at Old Trafford, will complete his Red Devils medical on Saturday night and be revealed as a new signing shortly afterwards. Malcom reveals Premier League ‘dream’ Bordeaux star Malcom has admitted he would relish the chance to play in the Premier League....

Ozil, whose contract with the Gunners expires next summer, recently confirmed Goal’s exclusive story from October that he will wait on the future of manager Arsene Wenger before committing to a new deal. Arsenal trio sign fresh terms The 28-year-old was pictured alongside Josh Kroenke, son of Arsenal majority shareholder and Denver Nuggets owner Stan, after he was invited to the O2 for the NBA match along with several other first team stars....

The Gunners will be hoping to negotiate their way past the Rojiblancos when they visit the Wanda Metropolitano for the second leg of their semi-final fixture. It ended 1-1 at the Emirates Stadium last Thursday after Alexandre Lacazette’s opener was neutralised by Antonio Griezmann’s 82nd-minute effort. However, Aubameyang, cup-tied for the competition this season, has charged the team with ‘positive energy’. “Giving my positive energy to my boys. Good for today, Arsenal,” Aubameyang wrote on Instagram....

Goal understands that, while no contract has yet been signed, the announcement of Arteta’s return to the Emirates Stadium will be made in the coming days. The Spaniard is currently assistant coach to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and played a huge part in guiding them to their record-shattering Premier League title success this season. Arteta is highly regarded by Gunners chief executive Ivan Gazidis, who believes a younger coach will slot into a modern European football structure, complemented by head of recruitment Sven Mislintat and new head of football relations Raul Sanllehi....

Christopher, who goes by @xoradmagical on TikTok, has gone viral for his “schizophrenia simulators” that simulate how he feels when he has a schizophrenic episode. He has received more than 11 million views on a simulation video from October and more than 9 million views on one from December 20. In his most popular video, which was posted on October 9, Christopher showed an altered version of his bedroom with many voices whispering in the background....

Biden is now leading Trump in Nevada, Arizona and Georgia, and is fast closing the gap in Pennsylvania—where his campaign is confident of a comfortable win. Though the president is expected to take North Carolina and Alaska, these will not be enough to win a second term. Biden is now the overwhelming favorite to be president come January, though the Trump campaign is expected to continue its disinformation campaigns and legal challenges to stop him....

The basic issue: spend the world’s leading cryptocurrency now or buy and hold, betting on continued price appreciation? Prakash Chand, managing partner of FD7 Ventures, a billion-dollar global cryptocurrency investment fund based in the United Arab Emirates, believes Bitcoin’s market cap will reach $10 trillion in a few years, or about ten times its current valuation. “(Bitcoin is) a great store of value, with an excellent brand name behind it, but that is pretty much it where it stops,” Chand said in a statement....

News of the Trump appointee’s proposed three-day visit to Taipei in the week of December 5 riled China, which reacted equally threateningly to three trips made by U.S. officials since August. Taiwan regretted the cancelation of Wheeler’s Taiwan visit, which the EPA said was due to a change in the administrator’s itinerary, Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu told reporters after a committee meeting. Taipei said it would continue its environmental cooperation with the United States and facilitate any future visits under President-elect Joe Biden....

Florida, which outlets like the Palm Beach Press have labeled the “epicenter” of the current COVID-19 resurgence, leads Texas by a wide margin in case numbers for the last seven days, at 73,181. That puts the Sunshine State at 340.7 cases per 100,000 residents, landing in the CDC’s most severe category for cases-by-population. Texas, meanwhile, has seen 31,521 new cases in the last weeks. Given its considerably larger population relative to Florida, it is only in the second-to-most severe cases-by-population category, with 108....
