In seven winter windows, Klopp had only broken the £10 million mark twice, to sign Virgil van Dijk and Luis Diaz, in 2018 and 2021, respectively. The latest window will make that three times, the Reds completing a £37m deal for Cody Gakpo. Klopp could pursue further investment, with a new midfielder a priority for him in the second half of 2022/23, perhaps as long-term replacements for Jordan Henderson and James Milner....

Barca hold a 3-0 lead from the opening match - thanks mostly to the enduring genius of Lionel Messi - while Liverpool’s slim chances of reaching a second successive final have been further hit by a double injury blow. After being restricted to a cameo appearance from the bench last week, Roberto Firmino’s groin injury has ruled him out of the return, while Mohamed Salah is also unavailable due to a head injury sustained in the weekend win at Newcastle United....

Liverpool will be looking to make a statement in the 2019/20 curtain-raiser. The European champions come into this tie on the back of a series of poor results in pre-season, where they endured three defeats in five games. Manchester City, on the other hand, enjoyed a terrific pre-season, making a statement in almost every match they played. City banged in 13 goals in the last four fixtures and look all set to start their campaign on a positive note....

The Reds looked to be heading for a damaging home draw after seeing Mohamed Salah’s opener cancelled out by a thunderous Mohammed Kudus strike in the first half. However, Matip rose highest from a corner in the 89th minute to send Anfield wild and ensure a 4-1 defeat at Napoli in the opening game of Group A was quickly forgotten. With no Premier League fixture this weekend, Jurgen Klopp’s men will hope this result and an improved performance can ignite a season to which they have made a stuttering start....

That’s why the Democratic convention in Boston won’t look anything like the recent fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Bill Clinton will speak, but there will be no crotch jokes from Whoopi Goldberg–indeed, no Hillary Rodham Clinton. You’ll see lots of Vietnam veterans, including former senator Max Cleland, the triple amputee, war hero and Kerry friend. At the Republican convention you won’t see Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell in prime time (a mistake Bush’s father made in Houston in 1992)....

Cheney drew Trump’s anger after she led nine other House Republicans in voting to impeach him last year for inciting his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Since then, the congresswoman has been one of the ex-president’s harshest critics, while also condemning fellow Republicans who continue to align with him. Last September, Trump endorsed Hageman, an attorney and former Republican National Committee (RNC) member, in her bid to unseat Cheney, who has represented Wyoming’s at-large district since 2017....

The rapper, who legally changed his name to Ye, told Carlson in an interview that aired on October 6: “Lizzo works with my trainer, a friend of mine, Harley Pasternak. When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots […] on Instagram, they attack her for losing weight, because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal, when it’s actually unhealthy.”...

In the same stadium where he scored his first international goal before a devastating foot injury he feared might have ended his career, Lletget delivered a much happier highlight in front of family and friends who made the short drive down from his native San Francisco. Lletget scored and assisted in his first game back at Avaya Stadium since the injury, leading the United States over Costa Rica 2-0 in an exhibition Saturday that made Gregg Berhalter just the third coach to win his first two matches with the American national team....

In remarks to the House Appropriations defense subcommittee on Thursday, Austin said, “We must not be afraid to try new approaches, to change our minds so that we can truly and fully address the scourge of sexual assault in our force. “Clearly, what we’ve been doing hasn’t been working. The number of sexual assaults are still too high, and confidence in out system is still too low.” Military leaders have acknowledged sexual assault as a big problem but never went forward with prosecutions out of the chain of command....

Doctors have long suspected that AZT might lower the risk of mother-to-child transmission, by reducing the amount of virus in a woman’s blood. But lacking hard evidence-and fearing that AZT might harm a developing fetus-they’ve reserved the drug for women who need it to combat their own advanced illness. In the new study, researchers in the United States and France went a step further. From 1991 to 1993, they identified 477 pregnant women who were HIV-positive but still healthy....

Keane tipped to ‘do a Pogba’ at Man Utd The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the biggest talents to come out of the Chelsea academy, but has made just six appearances in all competitions in 2016-17. Antonio Conte vetoed a loan move in the January transfer window, though, and Loftus-Cheek is hopeful he will soon get more playing time. ‘I told Klopp to sign Sane’ “At my age I just want to be playing, so for Conte to say he wanted me to stay gives me confidence that the chances will come,” Loftus-Cheek told the club’s official website....

Initially a YouTuber, Logan Paul has grown into one of the most influential figures in the world. Forbes has Paul ranked ninth on their list of highest-paid YouTube stars in 2021, with over $18 million and a net worth of $45 million. His brother Jake was ranked second with $45 million. On October 29, Jake beat MMA legend Anderson Silva in a boxing ring. Logan will look to continue the Paul takeover as he faces Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WWE’s Crown Jewel event on November 5....

The fourth episode of Loki starts to really peel back the layers of the Time Variance Authority after Sylvie’s bomb drop last week. While Loki and Sylvie are held and interrogated, members of the TVA start to wonder if Sylvie and Loki are telling the truth. Even Mobius, who is ready to declare Loki one of his friends, comes to believe Loki and Sylvie. While members of the TVA like Mobius and B-15 start to come around, however, Ravonna Renslayer attempts to put a stop to anyone uncovering the TVA’s secrets....

The first three episodes of Loki, the third original series from Marvel Studios to date, follow the alternate version of the God of Mischief who escaped captivity after the Battle of New York during the Avengers’ time-traveling heist in Endgame. Apprehended by the Time Variance Authority, an organization created by the Time Lords to prevent the sacred timeline from diverging into an endless stream of multiverses, Loki is tasked with helping the TVA track down another variant of himself under the supervision of Owen Wilson’s Mobius M....

Bainbridge has five separate narrators tell their stories of what happened-the captain; “Uncle Bill,” the ship’s doctor and scientist; two officers, and a petty officer. This is not “Rashomon”; every anecdote is told just once, even when two or more of the narrators are present in a scene. It quickly becomes clear that the officers and crew were ill prepared for the brutality of Antarctica. But they describe without complaint the cruelty of the wind, the ice and bitter cold....

JDT are in a rich vein of form, having won their last three matches, including two top of the table clashes. Now 10 points ahead of Perak who are in second place with only seven matches left to be played for JDT, it does seemed that The Southern Tigers have one hand on the trophy. While mathematically it is still possible for the likes of Perak and even Pahang to chase down JDT, the likelihood of that happening is minimal....

Thomas, who worked as the evening anchor at KXII, a CBS and Fox affiliate in Sherman, Texas since 2014, was told by his doctor earlier this month that he can’t take the shots because he is allergic to two of the ingredients in the COVID vaccine. But, despite this medical exemption, he was fired. Gray Television, which owns KXII, has required all its employees to get vaccinated against COVID, according to Adweek....

MORE: Say hello to the “Wait, what?” All-Stars — Matt Carpenter, a three-time All-Star in the prime of his career, is batting .216 this season but still sports a nice .351 on-base percentage, thanks to a top-10 walk rate. An everyday player has posted an average that low and an OBP that high over a full season just once — the incomparable Desi Relaford in 2000. Moved to first base this year, Carpenter has also been hitting in the three-hole, but his production hasn’t merited it....

Loop Hero is also filled with different types of enemies that will pose unique challenges for players and potentially drop different rewards. Experimentation is extremely important, as there are some enemies that players are unlikely to find through the natural course of play. The Dark Slime is one such enemy. RELATED: Loop Hero: How to Summon the Secret Boss Dark Slimes will only be created by using a particular tile combination at a very specific time....

Lopetegui was dismissed on Monday following a meeting of the board of directors, who concluded there had been a “great disproportion between the quality of the staff of Real Madrid…and the results obtained to date”. Santiago Solari, the club’s B team coach, has been put in temporary charge and is now expected to lead Real for their Copa del Rey game against minnows Melilla on Wednesday. The Argentinian could also remain in post for Saturday’s La Liga match at home to Real Valladolid....
