A Premier League title bid has started to unravel at the Etihad Stadium, with just four points taken from the last 12 on offer. Kompany ‘fit and ready’ for Palace A narrow defeat at Liverpool saw City end 2016 on a low note, while they were thumped 4-0 upon their return to Merseyside at Everton and threw away a two-goal lead last time out against Tottenham Hotspur. No side in the top eight has been breached on more occasions through 22 fixtures, with Guardiola’s men now perched fifth in the top-flight standings....

That isn’t what the junta had in mind a few weeks ago. The accord signed with former president Jimmy Garter only called for them to leave office, but both Aristide’s government and the Americans made it clear that Cedras and Biamby should quit the country altogether. And instead of the general amnesty envisioned in the Carter agreement, the Haitian Legislature last week enacted a limited amnesty covering only political crimes committed in the coup–not the many human-rights offenses since then....

With tensions high over Russia’s military buildup by its neighbor, Carlson accused President Joe Biden of whipping Americans into a “frenzy” about the prospect of war. In a segment on Friday, Carlson referred to a report that Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelenskiy appealed to Biden to ease his message that a war was inevitable. “What can we infer from this? It’s simple. If you’re not terrified about the prospect of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the question is whose side are you on here?...

Many of them had decided to join the lawsuit only after a federal judge ruled last week that any suits filed against the Port Authority could be left dormant while relatives decided whether to go ahead with their legal action or instead join the federal Victim Compensation Fund (initially they had been asked to choose one or the other by the one-year anniversary). More than three times as many relatives of victims of the attacks have also joined a separate lawsuit against the Sudanese government, three members of Saudi Arabia’s royalty, and Saudi banks and charities for allegedly funding Osama bin Laden’s terror network and enabling the attacks....

The Emirati side proved unexpectedly tough opposition for Madrid, who even went behind when Romarinho opened the scoring. Cristiano Ronaldo eventually made the breakthrough with a second-half equaliser before Bale jumped off the bench and scored with his first touch to secure a 2-1 victory. It was the Wales international’s first taste of first-team action since suffering a hip injury in October, and he was pleased to be back in the Madrid line-up....

Blending Grand Theft Auto-style open world mayhem with a fully-hackable environment, Ubisoft raised a lot of eye brows when the game was first announced at E3 2012. A six month delay into 2014 briefly stifled Watch Dogs’ momentum, especially for day one PS4 and Xbox One buyers but, despite minor hiccups, interest in the new IP has remained high....

The Clinton administration finally acknowledged, in effect, that Bosnia’s Muslims had lost the war and that the only way to win it for them was to send in U.S. ground troops – ““several hundred thousand’’ of them, ““involving significant casualties,’’ warned Defense Secretary William Perry. The Americans weren’t about to make that commitment, and the Europeans, who already have thousands of U.N. peacekeepers in Bosnia, were more interested in getting out than getting in deeper....

The defender says staying on the road for hours to honour away fixtures has taken a huge toll on the team. “I think what is affecting the team is fatigue,” Anaekwe told Goal. “We are tired.

The two meet by coincidence and then begin their warlike chemistry, which transcends into a shared journey of self-growth and healing....
