Atletico Madrid hijack Inter's move for Cesar Azpilicueta

Atletico Madrid have made an 11th-hour offer to Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta, 90min understands, with Los Rojiblancos set to beat Inter to his signature. Azpilicueta agreed personal terms with Inter earlier this month and was expected to head to Italy on a free transfer, with Chelsea keen to reward the Spaniard for his 11 years of service by allowing him to decide his future. Now, however, Atletico have muscled their way into the conversation with an offer to take Azpilicueta back to his homeland. A return to Spain is understood to appeal to Azpilicueta and his family and, as a result, Atletico are now expected to land the 33-year-old's signature. Atletico have released former Tottenham right-back Matt Doherty this summer and so there is an obvious vacancy in Diego Simeone's defence which Azpilicueta will fill.

Marianne Williamson is returning to her primary campaign against Biden in earnest after the birth of her first grandchild: She talks Politico report and more Marianne Williamson, the Democratic presidential candidate, popular speaker and bestselling author of self-help books who is mounting a dark horse primary challenge to President Joe Biden, is returning to her campaign in earnest after a monthlong stay in England for the birth of her first grandchild. "Now that I'm back, I'm going to be hitting the ground running," Williamson told ABC News. It's a campaign trail that is markedly different. In that time, Williamson lost a second campaign manager, former President Donald Trump was indicted on federal charges that he denies, the president's son Hunter reached a plea deal with prosecutors and six major candidates entered the Republican primary. As Williamson reappears on the trail, with a slew of events scheduled in New Hampshire, Michigan, Massachusetts and I

Human remains have likely been recovered from the Titan submersible wreckage, US Coast Guard says

The U.S. Coast Guard says it has likely recovered human remains from the wreckage of the Titan submersible PORTLAND, Maine -- Human remains have likely been recovered from the wreckage of the submersible that imploded on a voyage to view the wreckage of the Titanic, the U.S. Coast Guard said Wednesday. The announcement came hours after the announcement that debris from the Titan, collected from the seafloor more than 12,000 feet (3,658 meters) below the surface of the North Atlantic, had arrived in St. John's, Newfoundland. Twisted chunks of the submersible were unloaded at a Canadian Coast Guard pier. Recovering and scrutinizing the wreckage is a key part of the investigation into why the Titan imploded last week, killing all five people on board. The multiday search and eventual recovery of debris from the 22-foot (6.7-meter) vessel captured the world's attention. "There is still a substantial amount of work to be done to understand the factors that led to the catastrop

Ford Motor Co. is going through another round of white-collar job cuts as the company continues to reduce costs amid a transition to electric vehicles DEARBORN, Mich. -- Ford Motor Co. is going through another round of white-collar job cuts as the company continues to reduce costs amid a transition to electric vehicles. The company confirmed Tuesday that it was starting to notify several hundred engineers and other salaried employees that their jobs are being eliminated. The firings come after around 200 Ford contract employees were let go last week. Spokesman T.R. Reid wouldn't give a specific number of Ford jobs that are being cut this week, but said they are not nearly the scale of those made last summer when the company let go of 3,000 white-collar workers and another 1,000 contractors largely in the U.S. Most of the cuts were in engineering, but all business units will see job cuts, Reid said. “Teams that were affected were pulled together yesterday to let them know that ther

Analysis: Donald Trump's war on truth confronts another test with voters

Now seeking a second term even as he fights federal charges, Donald Trump continues to shatter the norms of American politics WASHINGTON -- The cherry tree folklore is too good to be true, but it's no lie that George Washington had a thing for the truth. “I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is the best policy,” he wrote in his farewell address. A few decades later, another future president's reputation for veracity earned him a well known nickname: Honest Abe Lincoln. Then there's Donald Trump, who during his presidency faced questions about business dealings in Moscow. “I have nothing to do with Russia,” he said in 2016. He switched stories when the facts of his decades-long effort to build a luxury tower there emerged. “Everybody” had always known about the project, according to Trump, who suggested only a sucker would drop such a proposal just because they wanted to serve their country as president. “Why should I lose lots

Australian online safety watchdog demands answers from Twitter on how it tackles online hate

Australia’s online safety watchdog has issued a legal notice to Twitter demanding an explanation of what the social media giant is doing to tackle a surge in online hate since Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought the platform CANBERRA, Australia -- Australia’s online safety watchdog has issued a legal notice to Twitter demanding an explanation of what the social media giant is doing to tackle a surge in online hate since Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought the platform. Australia’s eSafety Commission describes itself as the world’s first government agency dedicated to keeping people safer online. The agency said Thursday that it received more complaints about online hate on Twitter in the past 12 months than any other platform and had received an increasing number of reports of serious online abuse since Musk took over the company in October. The Australian agency’s boss, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, said she sent a notice to the San Francisco-based company Wednesday with 36 detailed questions

Foreign companies are shifting investment out of China as confidence wanes, business group says

A business group says foreign companies are shifting investment and their Asian headquarters out of China as confidence plunges following the expansion of an anti-spying law and other challenges BEIJING -- Foreign companies are shifting investments and their Asian headquarters out of China as confidence plunges following the expansion of an anti-spying law and other challenges, a business group said Wednesday. The report by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China adds is one of many signs of growing pessimism despite the ruling Communist Party’s efforts to revive interest in the world’s No. 2 economy following the end of anti-virus controls. Companies are uneasy about security controls, government protection of their Chinese rivals and a lack of action on reform promises, according to the European Chamber. They also are being squeezed by slowing Chinese economic growth and rising costs. Business confidence in China is “pretty much the lowest we have on record,” the European Cha

A man has allegedly shot and killed his three young sons and wounded their mother at their Ohio home MONROE TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- An Ohio man accused of fatally shooting his three young sons admitted to planning the killings and lined them up before executing them with a rifle, prosecutors said Friday. Chad Doerman, 32, who is also accused of wounding the boys' mother at the family’s home, has been charged with aggravated murder, authorities said. Clermont County's chief prosecutor of Municipal Court, David Gast, said during Doerman's arraignment Friday that one of the boys tried to flee into a nearby field but Doerman “hunted” his son down and brought him back to their home before killing him. Doerman's bail has been set at $20 million. Court records did not indicate whether he was represented by a lawyer at his arraignment. He is currently being held in Clermont County Jail.
