WTF (20:00) I had to put it in… what goals could justify that at Chelsea FC? Will they win a trophy? Will Thomas Tuchel survive the season? All this so that we have no chance of catching Manchester City in the long run. — C. Smith That’s a Wrap (6:00 PM EST) It’s 11pm in England and the Premier League transfer window has closed (and Ligue 1 — these were the last of the day among the top five)....

Show only key events Please enable JavaScript to use this feature Apparently Edson Álvarez refused to train today, following Chelsea’s offer for him yesterday. Thing is, the Dutch window closed last night, so Ajax wouldn’t be able to replace him and had presumably sold Seb Haller, Antony and Lisandro Martínez, along with Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui. I understand what Jurien Timber is doing about all this. Speaking of City boys, Roméo Lavia, who left for Southampton in July, looks a player – as does Armel Bella-Kotchap, as it happens....

The former president has written a total of 51 “truths” on the social media platform he created after being permanently banned from Twitter, while sharing dozens more posts from other accounts since early Tuesday morning. Among the posts on Trump’s Truth Social were attacks on the FBI, including one claiming the agency told Facebook that the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” story was Russian disinformation “when they knew full well it wasn’t....

The head of the UN nuclear agency said his experts were staying put after crossing Russian territory in Ukraine on Thursday and reaching Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, where both sides are warning of a potential disaster. An International Atomic Energy Agency inspection team braved heavy shelling to reach the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, arriving several hours late in a large motorcade with a heavy presence of Russian soldiers nearby....

Chelsea will pay an initial £70m, with a possible further £5m in add-ons. Fofana signed a seven-year contract with the club. Leicester and Chelsea agreed Fofana’s fee on Saturday, with the defender flying to the US on Monday for his medical. Fofana said: “The last two days have been very long days for me and I’m very happy. I trained this morning with the team and it’s a dream for me....

As ex-Brexit Secretary David Frost is expected to take on union-related issues in a possible Liz Truss government, nine former ministers in governments in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast have spoken about their disputes and frustrations with Westminster in their interviews at the Institute for Government. Michael Russell, Scotland’s former cabinet secretary for the constitution, Europe and foreign affairs, described how ministers in Wales and Northern Ireland used to complain about the intervention of a senior Tory minister who would be “charming in your face”....

With the iPhone X, Apple had to find a solution to put the front camera and Face ID sensors on the front of the phone, since it no longer had huge bezels. So the company “invented” the notch, which is a notch at the top of the screen where all these sensors are placed, plus a microphone and speaker. The notch has definitely become the identity of a new era of iPhone after years of devices with a home button....

Die hierzulande bekannten Redakteure, die eigentlich Lehrer werden wollten, standen Jahrzehnte, nachdem sie bereits im Journalismus tätig waren, noch auf Platz 197 der Warteliste für einen Lehrauftrag. Lehrermangel war in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren ein Fremdwort, das Gegenteil war der Fall. Damals nannte man das Lehrerschwemme. Als Gründe dafür wurden identifiziert: die Attraktivität des Lehrerberufs, viel Freizeit, die Möglichkeit, die prägenden Erfahrungen der letzten Schulzeit beruflich zu nutzen. Umgekehrt versuchte man diejenigen abzuschrecken, die mit dem Lehramtsstudium liebäugelten: Die würden sowieso keinen Job bekommen, sie sollten lieber etwas Sinnvolleres studieren, Jura, Medizin, Wirtschaft, Technik, was auch immer....

Peltola, who is Yup’ik, will become the first Native American woman to represent Alaska in the House. She is also the first woman to hold the seat. Peltola will serve out the remaining months of the late Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young’s term. Young held the seat for 49 years before his death in March. Peltola’s victory, coming in Alaska’s first statewide election, is a boon for Democrats, particularly with better-than-expected performances in special elections across the country this year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v....

Bei RB Salzburg fand auch in diesem Sommer der traditionelle alljährliche Umbruch statt. Während dieses Transferfensters erreichten die Einnahmen aus Spielerverkäufen ein bemerkenswertes und beispielloses Niveau. Knapp 93 Millionen Euro verdienten die „Bullen“ mit Verkäufen (vorher waren es knapp 67 Millionen). Ein großer Teil davon ist auf die Verkäufe von Karim Adeyemi, Brenden Aaronson, Ramus Kristensen und Mohamed Camara zurückzuführen. Im Gegenzug verstärkten die Mozartbewohner das Team für knapp 30 Millionen Euro....

Das teilte der frühere Innenminister Gerhard Baum (FDP) der Deutschen Presse-Agentur am Mittwoch mit. Der Anwalt vertrat gemeinsam mit Kollegen einer Düsseldorfer Anwaltskanzlei die Hinterbliebenen in den Verhandlungen. Lesen Sie auch „Die Vereinbarung ermöglicht auch eine würdige Feier am 5.

The incident occurred just before 1 a.m. at the Holiday Bar in the 2400 block of Whittier Boulevard, where a verbal dispute turned physical before the shooting, according to Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Leticia Ruiz. Officers arrived at the scene to find six victims — four men and two women — suffering from gunshot wounds, an LAPD spokesman said. Bystanders were holding the suspect down. The injured, including a man in critical condition, were taken to hospitals, the spokesman said....

Lorsqu’il a reçu la lettre, Roland Tabart avoue avoir “éclaté de rire” en compagnie de son directeur des services. Signé par un vacancier de la rue du Croisty débarquant au port du Crouesty (attention à la confusion), le message est clair. “La sonnerie des cloches rend la vie très désagréable” pour cette famille de villégiature d’une petite ville. Alors le père écrit au maire pour lui demander de les couper, au motif que sa femme et ses enfants “sont inutilement réveillés le matin”....

Parmi les suspects figure un ancien élu du Front national, figure de l’extrême droite française. Une enquête a été ouverte en août dernier par le parquet de Paris après la transmission de tweets menaçants contre un juge du tribunal administratif qui venait de suspendre l’expulsion de l’imam Iquioussen. Le 5 août, le tribunal administratif de Paris a suspendu l’exécution de l’arrêté d’expulsion visant Hassan Ikuyuchen, accusé de propos “contraires aux valeurs de la République”, réclamé par le ministère de l’Intérieur....

The unemployment rate rose to 3.7%, two-tenths of a percentage point higher than expected, largely due to a rising labor force participation rate.

Mayor Ward Stamer said his community of Barriere has a first responder society with a vehicle that can respond when BC Ambulance Service cannot, but they are not allowed to transport patients to hospital. He said that needs to change as the community faces gaps in service that mean first responders may not be available when someone calls 911. On Sunday, Stamer told CTV News that the family is indigenous and the baby was eight months old....

Bell Media is fighting back against accusations that CTV National News anchor Lisa LaFlamme was fired because of her appearance and that it interfered with the network’s coverage of the fallout. Wade Oosterman, president of Bell Media, said in a letter Monday that any claims the administration violated its policy on journalistic independence in covering the Lisa LaFlamme story are “outrageous.” “Just as the termination of Lisa LaFlamme’s contract had nothing to do with age, gender or gray hair, I can categorically confirm that no actions were taken that violated the policy of journalistic independence....

In his speech at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, Biden unleashed the trappings of the presidency in an unusually powerful and sweeping indictment of Trump, and what he said has become the dominant force in the opposition party. His broadside came just two months before Americans head to the polls in hotly contested midterm elections that Biden calls a crossroads for the nation. “A lot of what’s going on in our country today is not normal,” he told an audience of hundreds, raising his voice to Trump supporters outside the building where the nation’s founding was debated....
