Novak Djokovic has said he has been given “positive signs” that he will be allowed to enter Australia and compete in the Australian Open in January despite being under a three-year visa ban. The Serbian, whose ban was imposed along with his deportation for his potential to cause “civil unrest” as a “talisman of anti-vaccination sentiment”, said these indications were on an “unofficial” basis. He added that he should have confirmation in “the next few weeks” of whether he will be allowed in. Djokovic was the world No 1 when he landed in Melbourne believing he had been granted exemption from the…

The final whistle was celebrated with a rasp of relief, hugs and handshakes, an exhausted but elated Jude Bellingham sinking to the turf, a stirring curtain call in front of the Yellow Wall. It meant something to Borussia Dortmund, at least. They qualified for the last 16 with a performance of maturity and ambition, one that might even – with a little more poise and penetration in the final third – have ended with all three points. That their opponents were largely going through the motions was of only the barest relevance. Of course Manchester City came to win. It’s just that if…

NHS trusts spent close to a half a billion pounds on interest charges from private companies for private finance initiative (PFI) contracts last year – equivalent to the salaries of 15,000 newly qualified nurses. Hospital groups spent £2.3bn on legacy PFI projects in 2020-21, of which just under £1bn went on costs for essential services such as cleaning and maintenance. A third of the remaining PFI spend – £457m – went purely on paying off interest charges. PFI is a method of funding infrastructure projects such as NHS hospitals, which uses private funding to pay for upfront costs such as…

Aston Villa have named Unai Emery as their new manager after the Premier League club paid the Spaniard’s €6m (£5.25m) release clause at Villarreal. Villa approached Emery as they looked to make a quick appointment following the sacking of Steven Gerrard last week. Emery will take over from 1 November after his work permit formalities are completed, meaning Villa’s caretaker manager, Aaron Danks, will remain in charge for the visit to Newcastle on Saturday. Villarreal had retained hope that Emery would stay on, as he did when he turned down Newcastle’s advances last year, but the club confirmed his departure on Monday evening.…

Rishi Sunak will return the Conservative party to the policies of the 2019 manifesto, one of his key allies has said, acknowledging it had been a “brutal six weeks in politics”. The former Home Office minister Victoria Atkins, tipped to get a high-profile role in Sunak’s administration, said the outgoing prime minister, Liz Truss, would agree she “stepped away from the 2019 manifesto” that won the Tories an 80-seat majority. Truss will depart No 10 for Buckingham Palace on Tuesday morning after her final speech as prime minister and the king is expected to make Sunak prime minister shortly afterwards.…

In March, Lt. Col. William P. Anton, along with several other service members, submitted a 100-page report to members of the U.S. House and Senate. The report included statements from various military pilots and other injured service members concerned about the Department of Defense (DoD) vaccine mandate and its alleged negative effects on their health and the nation’s security. Having served in the military for more than 20 years, Anton said that he is “shocked and frustrated to have only received lukewarm responses from a couple of senators and their staffers.” “For the most part, there hasn’t really been any action,” Anton told The Epoch…

Unilever United States issued a voluntary recall of several brands of dry shampoo aerosol products due to “potentially elevated levels” of benzene, a human carcinogen. According to a company announcement posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, brands include Dove, Nexxus, Suave, TIGI (Rockaholic and Bed Head), and TRESemmé. The recalled products were produced before October 2021, and have been distributed nationwide. Benzene, a human carcinogen, can be found in many places in the environment. People are exposed to the agent daily, both indoors and outdoors, by inhalation, orally, or through the skin. Exposure can result in cancers, including leukemia, blood cancer of the…

Speaking at a political rally in Robstown, Texas former U.S. president Donald Trump mentioned getting a subpoena to testify to the House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters. The committee said it had sent a subpoena to Trump requiring documents to be submitted to the panel by Nov. 4 and for him to appear for deposition testimony beginning on or about Nov. 14. Trump, who regularly refers to the panel as the “unselect committee,” has accused it of waging unfair political attacks on him while refusing to investigate his charges…

This was a reality check for any title pretensions Arsenal hold, although they can still stew from on top of the pile. For the second successive Sunday they wobbled away from home and this time there was no repeat of their fortune at Elland Road, where they scraped through a chaotic second half to win. Another sloppy performance after the interval was punished by a beautifully worked equaliser from Stuart Armstrong and Southampton, who looked well beaten in the opening half-hour, could feel they were worth a point. Arsenal had not drawn since their stalemate with Burnley in January and the…

Boris Johnson has dramatically pulled out of the race to become Conservative Party leader, leaving former Chancellor Rishi Sunak in a dominant position to win the contest and become prime minister. The former prime minister had raced home from a holiday in the Caribbean to try and secure the backing of 100 Tory MPs to enter the ballot to replace Liz Truss, who was forced to resign on Oct. 20, just six weeks after replacing Johnson in 10 Downing Street. But in a statement issued on Sunday evening, Johnson said he was pulling out, despite having secured enough nominations, because he…
