While testifying, Musk said “I expect to reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time,” according to multiple media reports. Overnight, Musk sent an email to the remaining staff at…

Ivan Toney could be banned from playing for months after he was charged by the Football Association with 232 alleged breaches of its gambling laws. The Brentford striker, who has been in scintillating form for his club and had hoped to be included in England’s 26-man World Cup squad, was charged on Wednesday after the FA concluded an investigation into activity which covered a period of nearly four years. “Ivan Toney has been charged with misconduct in relation to alleged breaches of the FA’s betting rules,” the FA said in a statement. “It is alleged that the Brentford FC forward breached FA…

A bilateral meeting between the UK and China at the G20 summit – billed as the first such talks between the countries in five years – has been cancelled because of emergency meetings among world leaders in the aftermath of a missile strike in Nato-member Poland near the border with Ukraine.

It means a British…

Joel Glazer will make the final decision about Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at the club after the forward’s incendiary TV interview, according to sources close to the Manchester United co-owner. Ronaldo’s position at United is considered untenable after saying in an interview that he felt “betrayed” and that the Glazer family do not care about the club. The 37-year-old forward also said he has no respect for the manager, Erik ten Hag, and singled out two former United teammates, Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, after they criticised him. But a person with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press on Tuesday that…

There has been a higher than expected leap in the rate of inflation, to a 41-year high of 11.1% last month, led by the latest rise in energy bills. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed the increase, from 10.1% in September, to 11.1% in October as the cost of light and heating for homes rose further despite help from the government’s energy price guarantee that limits wholesale charges for gas and power. Food was cited as the other major element adding inflationary pressure during October, rising at the fastest annual pace since 1977. The ONS estimated that the 11.1%…

Poland is considering calling on NATO to invoke Article 4 after a “Russian-made missile” hit a village inside its territory near the Ukrainian border on Tuesday, killing two Polish citizens. “A moment ago we decided to verify whether there are grounds to launch procedures under Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty,” government spokesman Piotr Muller told reporters on Wednesday. Poland is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Article 4 allows NATO members to call a meeting to discuss any issue of concern, particularly if that issue is related to the security of a member country within the North Atlantic Council. Specifically, Article 4 of the NATO charter states that…

The Nevada Supreme Court on Nov. 14 turned down a request to halt hand counting of ballots in a rural county. The hand count, which is taking place after all ballots cast in the midterms were tabulated with machines, is essentially a recount or an audit, neither of which are allowed under state law, the Brennan Center for Justice and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said in an emergency motion on Monday. “Unless enjoined by this Court, this hand count will set a dangerous precedent for future elections by encouraging local officials to make up and implement their own vote counting processes that violate…

After retreating and abandoning the southern city of Kherson city, Russian forces have now made the port town of Henichesk, which sits along the Aov Sea, a “temporary capital” of the occupied region.

SpaceX has bought an advertising package on Twitter for its satellite internet service Starlink, said Elon Musk, who owns the rocket company and the social media platform. “SpaceX Starlink bought a tiny—not large—ad package to test effectiveness of Twitter advertising in Australia & Spain. Did same for FB/Insta/Google,” Musk wrote on Twitter on Monday. Twitter, which generated more than 90 percent of its second-quarter revenue from ad sales, has seen advertisers suspending Twitter spending due to concerns that Musk would change the company’s content moderation rules.
