Manchester City delivered a dominant derby performance at the Etihad, sweeping aside Manchester United 3–0 to move four points clear at the top of the Women’s Super League. Goals from Rebecca Knaak, Bunny Shaw and Lauren Hemp capped a blistering first-half display that saw City score three times in 21 minutes against a United defence that had conceded only six league goals all season. The win reinforces City’s title credentials and marks another milestone victory after their earlier triumph over Arsenal. United, meanwhile, suffered back-to-back WSL defeats for the first time since 2024. Marc Skinner’s squad, stretched thin by their…

Judge Brings Long Legal Battle to a CloseA bankruptcy judge approved a $7.4bn settlement on Friday, requiring Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family to pay for their role in the US opioid crisis. The ruling ends years of litigation to hold the OxyContin-maker and its owners accountable. It also releases long-delayed funds to help people struggling with addiction. Purdue filed for bankruptcy in 2019 after thousands of lawsuits accused the company of fueling the opioid epidemic. Settlement Exceeds Earlier ProposalThe new agreement increases payments by over $1bn compared with a previous settlement rejected by the Supreme Court last year. Purdue…

Celtic are advancing negotiations with Wilfried Nancy, the Columbus Crew manager, as they move closer to appointing him as Brendan Rodgers’ successor. The Scottish champions notified the MLS club on Friday of their plans, with compensation not expected to be an issue. Nancy, who is keen on the move, is viewed as an ideal fit for Celtic’s model — a progressive coach open to working within their transfer structure. The club hope to have him in place before next weekend’s trip to St Mirren, ending Martin O’Neill’s brief caretaker spell. Rodgers’ second spell at Celtic ended in late October amid…

Apology Sparks Major ControversyThe national broadcaster apologises to US President Donald Trump after Panorama producers stitched together sections of his 6 January 2021 speech.

Patrick Bamford has joined Sheffield United, just seven months after leading a derogatory chant about manager Chris Wilder during Leeds United’s promotion celebrations. The 32-year-old striker, a free agent since leaving Leeds in August, has signed a short-term deal with the Championship club until January as Wilder looks to boost the league’s lowest-scoring attack. Bamford, who earned one England cap, was filmed leading an abusive chant about Wilder back in April. However, both he and Leeds boss Daniel Farke phoned the Blades manager the following day to apologise — a gesture Wilder said he appreciated. “Had a conversation with Pat…

President Donald Trump has approved a temporary spending bill that ends the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. He signed the measure just hours after the House of Representatives voted 222 to 209 on Wednesday night. Two days earlier, the Senate narrowly passed the same bill following intense debate. In the Oval Office, Trump said the government would “resume normal operations” after “people were hurt so badly” during the 43-day closure. Since October, many federal agencies had suspended operations. About 1.4 million federal employees were either on unpaid leave or working without pay. Food assistance programs froze, and nationwide air…

The U.S. housing market is showing signs of improvement for both buyers and sellers. Recent trends indicate that easing mortgage rates and growing inventory are creating more balanced conditions. Analysts say that as borrowing costs decline, buyers gain better access to homes, while more available listings provide greater choice. This combination helps address the supply-demand imbalance that has challenged the market in recent years. For homeowners looking to sell, the current shift is encouraging. While prices remain competitive, increased buyer interest can lead to faster sales and potentially better offers. Sellers may find opportunities to reach serious buyers who were…

The Audit Office of Cyprus exposed major flaws in water management amid rising scarcity and climate change pressures. Officials must act immediately to protect national reserves. The Water Development Department (DWD) now bears critical responsibility for overseeing and safeguarding the country’s water resources. Failures in Monitoring and Billing Auditors found gaps in metering, billing, and verification processes. Two intake points supplying 64% of Nicosia’s water lacked regular inspections. The DWD could not access Limassol’s meters or Larnaca’s telemetry system, raising doubts about invoiced volumes. Inspectors noticed unexplained meter discrepancies but did not investigate them. Staff also inconsistently completed forms. The…

Speaking to Fox News, he claimed the edit “butchered” his words and “misled” viewers.
