Chelsea, London, UK

The 'Battle of the Bridge' lived upto its hype as it produced one of the most thrilling games of football in the Premier League season 22/23. The temperature raised in such a way that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and Tottenham Hotspurs boss Antonio Conte became involved in brawls twice during the match. ,Kalidou Koulibaly opened the scoring for Chelsea in the 19th minute. He scored his maiden goal for the club. However, the match began to heat up after the second half. ,Also Read: Thomas Tuchel says Chelsea’s 21-22 season would have been All or Nothing must-watch,Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg equalised for Spurs in the 68th minute, following which Conte broke into wild celebrations. The Chelsea manager was not too pleased as he was of the opinion that the goal must be disallowed due to the foul by Rodrigo Bentancur. ,The foul by Bentancur occurred 24 seconds before the goal, and the refereee didn't stop the game, so the goal couldn't have been disallowed. It is then, when the two managers became involved in a tussle, which ended after the referees intervened and gave each of them a yellow card. ,Also Read: Why Premier League players are not taking the knee,However, Tottenham Hotspur's happiness was short lived as Reece James converted from a Raheem Sterling pass in the 77th minute of the game. Needless to say, Tuchel celebrated the goal Jose Mourinho-style, running down the touchline past disgruntled Conte. James scored a goal at Stamford Bridge for the first time since he scored in Chelsea's 4-0 victory over Juventus on November 23, 2021. Sterling also registered his first assist at Stamford Bridge in the game. Also Read: Sorry, sorry Man United: Erik ten Hag seeks responsibility, better players,The pressure was back on the Spurs, especially on Heung Min Son, the league's Golden Boot winner last season. However, Harry Kane scored a last minute header to a Christian Pulisic corner, to give Spurs an equaliser on Saturday. And when it looked that match had given all its surprises, Tuchel and Conte clashed one more time. This time while exchanging handshakes, which all managers do at the end of every match. Since 2018, Chelsea has not suffered a league defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. But at the end of the day, Spurs will be the happier team after salvaging a draw in a match where the were put under immense pressure by Chelsea. Chelsea not only had the larger possession (65%), but also had more passing accuracy (85%).

West Virginia's Medicaid program must provide coverage for gender-confirming care for transgender residents, a federal judge ruled. U.S. District Judge Chuck Chambers in Huntington made the ruling Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by LGBTQ interest group Lambda Legal over treatments for gender dysphoria. Chambers said the Medicaid exclusion discriminated on the basis of sex and transgender status and violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment, the Affordable Care Act and the Medicaid Act. Also read: CWG 2022: Tom Daley to protest LGBTQ+ intolerance at the opening ceremon,Chambers certified the lawsuit as a class action, covering all transgender West Virginians who participate in Medicaid. “Protecting and advancing health care for transgender people is vital, sound, and just, Lambda Legal attorney Avatara Smith-Carrington said in a statement. Transgender West Virginia Medicaid participants deserve to have equal access to the same coverage for medically necessary healthcare that cisgender Medicaid participants receive as a matter of course.”,Also read: Why Biden administration's workplace LBGTQ directives were temporarily barred,The original lawsuit also named state employee health plans. It was filed on behalf of Christopher Fain, who was denied coverage for his testosterone prescription under Medicaid, and Zachary Martell, who is married to a state employee with health care coverage. Both Fain and Martell were denied coverage for a bilateral mastectomy. Last September, two plaintiffs were added to the lawsuit. Transgender women Shauntae Anderson and Leanne James were denied coverage for gender-confirming care, according to the lawsuit. Anderson is enrolled in a Medicaid plan and James was enrolled in a Public Employees Insurance Agency health plan offered by the state. Also read: Mexico's Museum of Memory and Tolerance ushers in Pride month,A settlement with The Health Plan of West Virginia Inc. earlier this year led to the removal of the exclusion on gender-confirming care in that company’s PEIA plans. Remaining claims involving PEIA were dismissed after James died in February, Lambda Legal said. “This decision is validating, confirming that after years of fighting to prove that gender-confirming care is medically necessary, we should have access to the same services that West Virginia Medicaid already provides to cisgender participants,” Fain said in the statement. Transgender West Virginians should never feel as if our lives are worth less than others.”

LeBron James, nicknamed ‘King James’ is one of the most well recognised basketball players in the world, and considered by many as one of the greatest players of all time. ,He has won 4 NBA Championships, 2 Olympic gold medals, 4 NBA MVP awards, and 4 NBA Finals MVP awards, among a plethora of other accolades in a glittering career that started in 2003. ,James was born in Akron, Ohio on 30th December 1984, and even while at high school was touted as the next big NBA superstar. He entered the 2003 NBA draft straight out of high school, and the Cleveland Cavaliers snapped him up immediately as the first pick of the draft. ,Also read: Steph Curry joins select list of athletes to host prestigious ESPY Awards,James immediately made himself at home in the NBA getting named the 2004 Rookie of the Year and thereafter established himself as one of the elite players of the league. Having failed to win the NBA championship with the Cavaliers, he ultimately decided to seek fresh pastures and signed for the Miami Heat as a free agent in 2010. The NBA championship arrived soon after just as he had aimed for, as he led the Heats all the way in 2012 and 2013, winning back-to-back NBA Championships. He was named the league MVP as well as the Finals MVP in both these seasons. ,Also read: NBA: Top 5 Power Forwards heading into the 2022-23 season. With his thirst for the Championship satiated, he moved back to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014 in order to taste success with his home team. He was once again successful as he dragged the Cavaliers back from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals to win the Cavaliers their first ever NBA championship in history. Since 2018, he has been with the Los Angeles Lakers where, in 2020, he won his 4th NBA championship. In the midst of all of this, the 6’9” star has enjoyed unprecedented success on the international stage as well. The US went unbeaten in the 2008 Olympics as James collected his first Olympics Gold, and in the 2012 London Olympics, he repeated the feat with his country, in the process becoming only the second player after the legendary Michael Jordan to win the NBA championship, NBA MVP award, NBA Finals MVP, and Olympic gold medal in the same year. He also became the all-time leading scorer in US men’s basketball history. ,Also read: NBA: Top 5 Small Forwards heading into the 2022-23 season,The list of records that James has to his name would warrant its own little booklet, but there are some that truly stand out amongst the rest- some which might stay unbroken for generations to come. James has been the youngest player to reach 4-digits in the career scoring column, achieving the feat at the tender age of 19 years and 41 days. Two years later, he also became the youngest ever to hit the 5,000 mark, and a further two years later, the 10,000 mark. To put this into perspective, only 329 players in NBA history have reached 10,000 career points- something James achieved at the age of 23 years and 59 days! ,He has continued on at a relentless pace- becoming the youngest to score 15,000, 20,000, and 25,000! He is now the all-time record holder for the most points scored in league history, regular season and playoffs combined- at a mammoth 44,152. In 2022, he also became the only player in NBA history to record at least 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists.

Paul McCartney, full name Sir James Paul McCartney, born on June 18, 1942 in Liverpool, England is a British vocalist, songwriter, composer, bass player, poet, and painter. His work with the Beatles in the 1960s helped elevate popular music from its roots in the entertainment industry and transform it into a creative, highly commercial art form. He is also one of the most prolific solo singers of all time, both in terms of album sales and concert attendance. McCartney's father, James, worked at the Liverpool Cotton Exchange, and his mother, Mary, was a midwife who helped deliver babies and rode on her bicycle at all hours. Her death from breast cancer in October 1956, at the age of 14, had a great impact on McCartney's life and served as the inspiration for his ballad Let It Be (1970). Michael, his younger brother, eventually changed his name to Mike McGear and had several hits with the satirical rock band Scaffold. Also read: Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein talk Watergate, Nixon, Trump, media, and more,McCartney, like other Beatles George Harrison and Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey), grew up in a fairly typical north of England working-class culture, with an extended family frequenting the house at 20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool's Allerton neighbourhood on a regular basis (the house is now owned by the National Trust). His father had been the frontman of Jim Mac's Jazz Band, and the family often assembled around the piano in the evenings, an experience McCartney drew on for sing-along songs like When I'm 64. (1967). The Beatles,On July 6, 1957, he met John Lennon at the Woolton Village Fete and entered his skiffle group, the Quarrymen, which later became the Beatles after multiple name changes. When John Lennon's mother was killed by a speeding police car in 1958, McCartney was able to empathise with the grieving 17-year-old, forming a link that became the foundation of their iconic relationship. McCartney and Lennon quite quickly set up themselves as the group's songwriters, and by the time the Beatles signed with EMI-Parlophone in 1962, they had written the majority of their own works. Also read: Watergate 50th Anniversary: Best movies to watch on the scandal,By their third album, the band had ceased producing covers. Even in 1969, when they were allegedly split over economic concerns and not interacting, Lennon brought McCartney his song The Ballad of John and Yoko and they collaborated on the middle eight (the stand-alone section that often comes midway in a song). Their music surpassed their own delineations. Though mainly concerned with ballads and love songs, McCartney was also liable for many of the Beatles' harder rock songs, including Lady Madonna, Back in the USSR, and Helter Skelter (all 1968), but moreover, he has an invaluable resource for melodies and occasionally tags an altogether fresh one on to the end of a song, as he did with Hey Jude (1968). This ability stretches to his bass playing, which is known for being melodious but generally disregarded. McCartney was a multi-instrumentalist who played drums on several Beatles tracks and all the arrangements on some of his solo albums, as well as lead guitar at performances. Also read: 'Parenthood' stars Lauren Graham-Peter Krause split: Relationship timeline,Career after The Beatles,The Beatles stopped performing live gigs in 1966. Following their split in 1970, McCartney released two solo albums, McCartney (1970) and Ram (1971), before joining Wings with his wife Linda (previously Linda Eastman), an American photographer and musician whom he married in 1969. He had her with him at all times, and having her on stage eased many of the challenges that couples face in the popular music industry. Wings toured the world and was the best-selling pop act of the 1970s, with 27 U.S. Top 40 songs (two more than Elton John) and five straight number one albums, including the critically lauded Band on the Run (1973) and Wings at the Speed of Sound (1974). (1976). Security issues resulting from John Lennon's assassination in 1980 kept McCartney from performing for a decade, and he instead focused on studio recording and writing and appearing in the poorly panned 1984 film Give My Regards to Broad Street. Nonetheless, critics adored Flowers in the Dirt (1989), which corresponded with his return to live performance, and Flaming Pie (1997) was even more lauded. Queen Elizabeth II knighted McCartney in 1997 for services to music. Linda died of cancer the next year. McCartney married and divorced actress and activist Heather Mills in the 2000s. He married Nancy Shevell in 2011. Also read: Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen join Paul McCartney for tour finale,In 1999, McCartney released Run Devil Run, a well-received collection of largely early rock-and-roll tunes that he recorded with Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. Driving Rain (2001), Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (2005), Memory Almost Full (2007), New (2013), and Egypt Station, which premiered number one on the Billboard 200 list in September 2018, were among his pop albums released in the early twenty-first century. McCartney's interests extended beyond mainstream music. He began painting in the late 1970s, inspired by a visit with Willem de Kooning, and by the late 1980s, he was dedicating much of his time to it. His work was first displayed publicly in May 1999, at a retrospective in Siegen, Germany. McCartney's semiautobiographical classical instrumentation Liverpool Oratorio, written in collaborative efforts with American composer Carl Davis, was first performed in 1991 by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra at Liverpool's Anglican cathedral, where McCartney had once failed his audition as a choirboy. He later oversaw the recording of his other classical compositions, such as Standing Stone (1997), Working Classical (1999), and Ecce Cor Meum (2006). Also read: Why Vince McMahon is stepping down as WWE CEO,Blackbird Singing, a collection of his poetry that also included some song lyrics, was published in 2001. He also wrote the score for Peter Martins' ballet Ocean's Kingdom (2011). McCartney wrote a number of children's books, including Hey Grandude! (2019). McCartney is perhaps the most financially successful performer and composer in popular music, having amassed 60 gold records and sold over 100 million singles during his career. The Beatles' 1965 single Yesterday (written entirely by McCartney and performed solo with a string quartet) has been played six million times on US radio and television, considerably outnumbering its nearest competition. Furthermore, with over 3,000 cover versions, it is the most-recorded song of all time. McCartney earned the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the United States Library of Congress in 2010, and he was awarded a Kennedy Center honoree later that year. In 2018, he was appointed a Companion of Honour. McCartney is a staunch supporter of vegetarianism and animal rights, and she is actively involved in projects to reduce debt in developing countries, eliminate land mines, and oppose seal culling. McCartney is now seen as a British institution, alongside warm beer and cricket.

An official 30-page report by Michael Cadot produced for the French Prime Minister has controversially revealed that riot police were deployed in large numbers at the Champions League Final in Paris due to an association of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster with hooliganism. Police violence had marred the Champions League Final last month as heavy-handed police personnel attacked match-going fans with riot gear and tear gas, many of whom had shelled out thousands of pounds to watch their teams play in what is the most decorated club game on the global calendar. ,Also read: Champions League Final fracas: Footage from the Stade de France destroyed,Numerous eye-witness accounts have documented the gross mismanagement in the French capital, where fans were made to wait for hours on end for their turns to enter the stadium. This resulted in a huge overload of bodies at bottlenecks created by the Police, especially in the areas surrounding the Liverpool end, and led to the disturbing scenes.

Former US President Donald Trump's lawyers, who are seeking to reverse their client's $10,000-per-day contempt fine, provided a New York judge on Friday with an affidavit in which Trump claims he did not turn over subpoenaed documents to the state attorney general's office because he does not have them. The judge was unmoved and refused to lift sanctions he imposed on Trump on Monday. Also read: In Musk’s Twitter, an Indian-American lawyer is under fire. Here’s why,Judge Arthur Engoron criticised the lack of detail in Trump's affidavit, which amounted to two paragraphs, saying that he should have explained the methods he uses to store his records and efforts he made to locate the subpoenaed files. In the affidavit, which bore Trump's signature and Wednesday's date, the former president said that documents sought in Attorney General Letitia James' civil investigation into his business dealings weren't in his personal possession. Trump, who is appealing the contempt ruling, said he believed any documents would be in the possession of his company, the Trump Organisation.

Andrew Amer, a lawyer for the attorney general's office, said in a court filing that while the affidavits “provide some additional information” about Trump's efforts to comply with the subpoena, more extensive searches were needed — including of Trump Tower, his residences and electronic devices — before the judge should consider reversing the contempt finding.

A New York judge has found Donald Trump in civil contempt for failing to cooperate with a subpoena for papers as part of the state's probe into the former President's corporation. Judge Arthur Engoron stated that Trump failed to comply with his order to comply with the subpoena, and that his counsel failed to disclose how a search of Trump's materials was done. Trump will be penalised $10,000 per day until he complies, according to Engoron. Also read: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis tests limits of his combative style in Disney feud,Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously and I take mine seriously. I hereby hold you in civil contempt and fine you $10,000 per day until you purge that contempt, Engoron stated this during a hearing on Monday. The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James has been investigating the Trump Organization for more than two years, and she previously stated that her office discovered numerous misleading or fraudulent misstatements and omissions in the Trump Organization's financial statements, which were provided to lenders and insurers, among others, as part of its investigation. The attorney general's office's Andrew Amer stated that Trump has failed to submit even a single responsive document in response to a subpoena sent to him in December. Also read: Kim Jong Un, Moon Jae-in exchange personal letters in sign of 'deep trust',We are being hampered in our efforts to have a complete understanding because we don't have evidence from the person who sits at the top of the organization, Amer said. The attorney general's office's Kevin Wallace said it's been like pulling teeth in some cases to obtain records needed for the probe, and he described the Trump Organization as a closely-held family business with 500 organisations and millions of dollars going around. According to Alina Habba, Trump's attorney, the former president does not believe he is above the law, but simply does not have the types of written conversations demanded by the subpoena, despite the fact that he supplied hundreds of thousands of papers through his subordinates. Habba stated that she personally searched Trump's heard copied calendars and physical file locations, and that she even questioned Trump in Florida. President Trump does not email. He does not text message. And he has no work computer at home or anywhere else, Habba said. Also read: Watch: Giuliani's unmasking prompts judge to walk out of 'The Masked Singer',I took it upon myself to get on a plane and flew down and asked him one by one if there was anything that he had on his person that he had not given me I would need that. And he did not, she said. The court questioned Trump's refusal to sign an affidavit certifying that he complied with the subpoena. Habba stated that he would do so. My client is an honest person, much to the dismay of certain people in this room, Habba said. In court filings, James' agency stated that the Trump Organization is being investigated for engaging in false or misleading activity in connection with assessments and financial statements. The office has subpoenaed papers pertaining to the probe from both the former president and his company.

Atlanta helped with some sloppy play and committed seven turnovers, four by Young. But once he started taking care of the ball, and making shots, there was no stopping him.

Frank James, who was named as a suspect in the shooting incident that took place on a Brooklyn subway car in New York City on Tuesday, has been taken into custody. Twenty-nine people were injured, including 10 who were shot. Late Tuesday, the New York Police Department named the suspect saying that he is a man of heavy build, wearing a neon orange vest and a gray sweater. The suspect was at large at the time. Police said that James, 62, had rented a U-Haul van in Philadelphia, according to the New York Times. Other items, such as a Glock 9-millimeter handgun, three ammunition magazines, a hatchet, fireworks and a liquid believed to be gasoline, were also found at the scene.

Before the attack, the suspect posted several rambling conspiracy-laden YouTube videos, slamming the city’s mental health services, complaining about race issues and speaking violently against people he believes wronged him.

A spectre is haunting New York, the spectre of subway violence. Tuesday’s shooting on a Brooklyn subway train has made many of New Yorkers’ worst-fears come true. At least 23 people were injured, of them 10 by gunfire, after a man wearing a gas mask fired 33 times; the gunman is still at large. ,It was the typical Tuesday morning New York rush. The express N train was between the 59th Street and 36th Street in the Sunset Park neighbourhood, when the gunman, wearing a construction vest and a gas mask, opened fire. Also Read | Anxieties resurface as gunfire erupts in New York City subway,Chis Focco, who was on an R train to Manhattan, told The New York Times that he noticed smoke coming out of the train as the N train arrived at the station and the doors opened. ,“I was supposed to get off to go across the platform to get on my next train, but I couldn’t get through because hordes of people were crying, hysterical and panicked,” he said. Sam Carmano, who was on the N train and spoke to 1010 WINS radio station, said: “My subway door opened into, just like calamity, and then it was people, just running to get away from whatever was happening, and then it was smoke and blood and people screaming.”,Also Read | NYC Mayor felt 'unsafe' on subway trains, 'saw homeless people',The gunman escaped the scene of crime and as police arrived, they shut down the locale. The transportation authority suspended service for the N, R and D trains in the area. ,As the hunt for the gunman began, it was discovered that a security camera that could have captured images of the crime, was not in operation, a law enforcement official told NYT. ,Passengers on the N train were taken to the next stop on the 25th Street as cops barricaded stations from the 36th to the 25th. ,As things stand, police have identified a ‘person of interest’ – Frank R James. James was driving a U-Haul van that was found miles away from where the shooting took place. The keys to the van were found on the train, as were found: a 9-mm handgun, ammunition, a hatchet, fireworks, and a liquid believed to be gasoline. Cops have not called him a suspect. ,What we know of James so far is that he has two addresses, one in Philadelphia and another in Wisconsin. One of his neighbours, a Keilah Miller, described him as a gruff man, and a “weird neighbour”. ,Frank R James has posted several videos on YouTube where he is seen criticising New York mayor Eric Adams’ subway safety policies. A day before the shooting, he posted a video where he said he wanted to kill people and “to watch people die.”

Luka Doncic scored seven of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, Jalen Brunson added 22 points and the Dallas Mavericks rallied for a 109-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. Dorian Finney-Smith had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Mavericks, who hung on for their eighth win in 10 games after blowing a huge early lead on the struggling Lakers. Also Read | NBA: Towns scores 39 as Wolves inflict Warriors' 6th loss in 8 games,Dallas trailed 100-94 with seven minutes to play before scoring 11 consecutive points in a rally kicked off by Brunson's fourth 3-pointer. Doncic went 9 of 21 and looked significantly less sharp than in most previous games during his monthlong scoring tear, but made enough big baskets to win it. LeBron James scored 26 points and Carmelo Anthony had 20 for the Lakers, who took their sixth loss in seven games despite erasing a 21-point deficit in just over 12 thrilling minutes spanning halftime. Despite giving a much better effort against Dallas than in its most recent games, Los Angeles has lost 15 of 21 to slide a season-worst seven games below .500, with even its position in the postseason play-in tournament looking increasingly tenuous. Los Angeles is 0-3 since the All-Star break. Also Read | NBA: Jayson Tatum shines as Boston Celtics down Atlanta Hawks 107-98,Two nights after the Lakers were booed by their home fans in a lifeless blowout loss to New Orleans, James and his teammates had the crowd applauding their effort and comeback — but the result was the same. Dallas wrapped up a five-game road trip with four victories, but only after surviving a largely poor second half. The Mavs jumped to their big lead during a first half highlighted by Doncic's incendiary one-handed putback dunk over Dwight Howard late in the first quarter. The first half looked like another wreck for the Lakers, who got three technical fouls for arguing amid their missed shots and lapsed defense. Coach Frank Vogel, Kent Bazemore and Russell Westbrook, who missed eight of his first nine shots, all got rung up. Also Read | NBA: Bucks' 44-point 2nd quarter leads 130-106 win over Hornets,But Los Angeles made a 22-7 run out of halftime and pulled even with cold-shooting Dallas on James' 3-pointer. SWITCHING DJs,After essentially standing pat with an ugly hand at the trade deadline, the Lakers on Tuesday waived disappointing center DeAndre Jordan and signed veteran point guard D.J. Augustin and journeyman forward Wenyen Gabriel. The newcomers weren't yet in town, but should be available later this week. TIP-INS,Mavericks: Dallas avenged a loss at home to the Lakers in December while Doncic was sidelined with an ankle injury. ... Spencer Dinwiddie had 14 points and nine assists. Lakers: They also waived two-way forward Sekou Doumbouya to create a second roster spot. ... Avery Bradley missed his fourth straight game with a right knee injury.
