Barca draw Juventus, Real Madrid face Bayern The Premier League’s joint top-scorer twisted his ankle in the early stages of Spurs’ 6-0 demolition of Millwall in the FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday and had to be withdrawn. Kane missed 10 matches in September and October with a similar problem, although Spurs revealed on Tuesday the current issue is not thought to be as serious. In a media conference on Friday, ahead of Tottenham’s meeting with Southampton at the weekend, Pochettino said Kane was coping well with the latest setback....

Leicester City hero Vardy led the line for the Three Lions and opened the scoring in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Italy at Wembley. Kane is currently rehabilitating from an ankle injury and is set to return to action for Tottenham next month as the World Cup in Russia draws closer. Vardy has generally been seen as an understudy to the two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner but the fluid three-at-the-back formation employed by England boss Gareth Southgate during the international break has opened up the possibility of them playing together as a front two....

At the fourth time of asking this season, Spurs tasted victory in Europe’s premier competition on Tuesday, coming from behind to beat PSV 2-1 thanks to a brace from England captain Kane. Victories over Inter and Barcelona are still required to guarantee Spurs will progress from Group B, but their star striker is keen to add to a story of famous continental recoveries from Premier League clubs. “The Champions League has thrown up some amazing fairytales in the past,” he told the Independent, before evoking Chelsea’s 2012 semi-final victory against Barcelona and Liverpool’s comeback from 3-0 down to lift the trophy in 2005 at AC Milan’s expense....

The dromedary, a species more commonly known as the Arabian camel, had been on the run since Saturday night. She escaped from the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame, where she had been a part of a live nativity scene, after her halter broke. The towering ungulate was subsequently spotted at various locations around the city by amused locals, and law enforcement and animal control were handed the tricky task of detaining her....

Pep going all out for cup glory Kante is one of the front-runners for the Player of the Year awards after his form has helped lift Chelsea from their 10th-place finish last season to first place this term — since he signed for the club in the summer transfer window for £32 million from Leicester City. The Chelsea manager is facing Manchester United on Monday in the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge and admits he was only better than Kante as a goalscorer, while his midfielder is better at everything else....

“To live up to our dream, we must have vision,” West explained in the video. “We as a people will revive our nation’s commitment to faith, to what our constitution calls the free exercise of religion, including, of course, prayer. Through prayer, faith can be restored. We as a people are called to a greater purpose than ourselves. We are not only a beacon to the world, but we should be servants to each other....

But this is how cool Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s retirement has gotten. It’s a long way from the perception of him that existed for years, Kareem the curmudgeon. But never mind that, there’s too much else to discuss. Of all the things that could be asked of him, my fascination with his fascination with Mycroft Holmes is first in mind. MORE: Classic photos of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar We’re talking about his 10th grade teacher, John Hendrickson, who got him to read John le Carre’s classic, “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold,” and set off a lifetime of interest in crime and spy novels....

In her inaugural tweet, Pence said she was excited to help tell the story of Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s leadership, instructing users to follow the page to “keep America great.” Many Twitter users responding to the post accused Pence of religious hypocrisy, highlighting her Christian school’s ban on openly anti-LGBTQ students and staff, Trump’s numerous affairs, and the administration’s child separation policy at the border. Pence teaches at a school in Virginia that does not allow LGBTQ students or teachers, according to NBC News....

The case involved a rural county commission race in Screven County, where several candidates filed a lawsuit alleging incorrect ballots were issued to at least two dozen voters, potentially altering the outcome of a county commission race decided by just seven votes, The Georgia Virtue reported. Several voters, it was later found, had been assigned ballots to districts they did not live in, meaning voters of a certain district were effectively disenfranchised from the vote in their home districts—an argument Lake made after up to 1,000 Arizona voters were provided with incorrect ballots in early voting in the fall....

Lake’s lawsuit challenging her defeat in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election has been expedited and will be heard by the Arizona Court of Appeals on February 1. The Republican discussed the case with Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk in an interview she shared on her Twitter account on Friday. Kirk said that Lake could find it difficult to prove “malice” on the part of election officials because they could say: “Well, I’m just such an idiot, I don’t know how to run it....

"Yep." This happened as Lehtonen's Dallas Stars and the Calgary Flames prepped for a faceoff on the other end of the ice. Lehtonen had an easy enough night thanks to Jamie Benn (one goal, five assists) and Tyler Seguin (four goals). Tough to blame him for being bored.

“It’s not true whatsoever,” Towns told For the Win. “I haven’t had any promises. Believe me if I had any promises, I would right now be getting fat and eating a large ice cream. But right now I’m still just trying to find out what team I’ll play for, and I’m still stressed out waiting for Thursday to come about.” MORE: 2015 NBA Mock Draft | The rise and fall of T....

Sanchez: I know my future The Netherlands international is expected to recover from the operation in time for the new Serie A season, having penned a five-year deal at the club on Wednesday. Roma team doctor Riccardo Del Vescovo explained Karsdorp’s medical uncovered the problem and the 22-year-old will go under the knife on Monday. “We’re doing this because we want to take a closer look at his lateral meniscus after his medical – which was conducted in tandem with Dr Andrea Causarano – revealed findings that called for further investigation,” Del Vescovo told Roma Radio....

Last year, Kahne really didn’t need to win in order to help his Chase for the Sprint Cup chances as he already had two wins. It would have solidified a spot for him, but he didn’t really need it. MORE: Bristol picks | Bristol schedule | Still chasing Hendrick This year, it could be different. At least the stakes are different. Kahne, winless this year, needs a win to make the Chase, which has an expanded field from 12 to 16 driver this year with more of an emphasis on wins....

A spokeswoman for Kaseya, Dana Liedholm, did not say how the key was acquired or whether a ransom was paid, only that it came from a “trusted third party” and the company would share it with all victims. Ransomware analysts said possible explanations for how the master key had appeared, including that Keseya paid, a government paid or victims pooled funds. They said the Krelim could also have seized the key from criminals and handed it over through intermediaries, or maybe the attack’s principle protagonist didn’t get paid by the gang whose ransomeware was used....

The princess debuted the art deco diamond-set brooch on Remembrance Sunday in November. Kate used it to hold in place the three poppies traditionally worn by female members of the royal family to honor the members of the army, navy and air force who lost their lives in the line of duty. Graham Smith, chief executive of British republican pressure group Republic, told Newsweek that the extravagant display by the royals at the state banquet during the current cost-of-living crisis was “no surprise,” adding, “perhaps they could reflect on that before going out flaunting jewels that cost as much as a lot of people’s annual salary....

The royal, who was made Princess of Wales by her father-in-law King Charles III upon his accession to the throne in September, attended the state banquet in honor of the president held in the expansive ballroom of Buckingham Palace, alongside other royals such as the king, Queen Camilla and Prince William. The banquet is the first of the new reign, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II earlier this year, and the first to be held in London since 2019 owing to the COVID pandemic....

The Duchess star Ryan took to her Instagram story to announce on Monday the arrival of her bundle of joy, sharing a snap of herself cradling her baby in bed. Captioning the heartwarming image, she wrote: “I have a really good reason why yesterday’s podcast is late.” With her golden locks pulled back into a sleek style, Ryan looked radiant as she relaxed in a black patterned robe. Ryan has yet to publicly reveal the baby’s name or gender....

The comedian, 61, announced that she was diagnosed with the disease back in August 2021, before revealing in November that she was cancer-free. However, she has since expressed fears that her voice will never go back to normal, after it was altered to a higher pitch than usual as a result of her treatment. On August 18, the Suddenly Susan star shared on Twitter that she had gone for a check-up, one year after her initial diagnosis....
