Ralf Rangnick admitted Manchester United’s plan was in the “dustbin” after Atlético Madrid scored on seven minutes before Anthony Elanga’s second half equaliser snatched a draw for the interim manager’s team in the Champions League last-16 first leg. It means the tie is poised going into the return at Old Trafford next month. Yet Rangnick’s decision to pick a central defender, Victor Lindelöf, at right-back instead of Diogo Dalot or Aaron Wan-Bissaka, regulars in the position, backfired when João Félix’s flying header put Atlético ahead at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. United then struggled to rally before Elanga, a 75th-minute substitute,…

On Thursday, Ukraine said Vladimir Putin had launched a “full-scale invasion”, following the Russian president announcing a “special military operation” in the east of the country. After his televised address, explosions were reported in the outskirts of the cities of Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Mariupol, as well as the capital Kiev. Footage and pictures show smoke rising in areas across Ukraine. Twitter account @gt_lozt posed a video showing smoke rising following an explosion at Ochakiv Port in Mykolaiv Oblast. A video posted by BNO News showed an apartment complex near Ukraine’s Kharkiv hit by an airstrike, causing an unknown number of casualties.…

‘War against Europe’ begun as explosions rip across Kiev THE INVASION of Ukraine has been condemned by Western leaders as “appalling” as Putin begins his attack on the eastern European nation. News of an invasion began around 5AM local time, as reports flooded in of explosions in Kiev. The Embassy of Ukraine to the UK issued a stark update on social media, announcing the beginning of the invasion. They tweeted: “It was 5 o’clock in the morning Kiev time Putin started an unprovoked war against Ukraine, a war against Europe, a war against the whole world.” Western leaders woke up…

PARENTS have expressed their anger at four primary schools allegedly banning the phrase “mums and dads”. It’s said St Luke’s Primary, Elm Grove Primary, Carlton Hill Primary, and Saltdean Primary, all in Brighton, East Sussex, have decided teachers should instead use the term “grown-ups”. They reportedly feel it is more inclusive and caters for children who are not raised by their biological parents or are brought up by two parents of the same gender. But the guidance has been labelled as “woke cancel culture” with parents largely reacting in furore. “How ridiculous! This kind of thing is getting way out of hand,” wrote…

Ukraine has declared a state of emergency across the entire country today with citizens ordered out of Russia and military reserves called up as Kiev prepares to face down the full might of a Russian invasion. The move, approved by the country’s security council, grants President Volodymyr Zelensky extra powers such as the ability to declare snap curfews and marks – for the first time – a direct acknowledgement from Kiev that Russia could now attack virtually anywhere at any time. Ukraine’s border guard service restricted movement around border zones, prohibited video recordings of its forces and banned the use of…

Looking at the positives from Thomas Tuchel’s big selection call, at least Romelu Lukaku has a better understanding of how Chelsea aspire to play now. This was a flexible and smart performance from the European champions, who functioned perfectly well with their £97.5m conundrum watching from the bench for the entire 90 minutes, and on this evidence Lukaku could be forgiven for wondering if his new diminished role is here to stay. After all there is little reason for Tuchel to bring the Belgian back when Chelsea meet Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. It could well be further humiliation…

DONBASS is facing power blackouts, with other parts of Ukraine also experiencing Internet blackouts just minutes after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced tough restrictions on Russia. It comes as Russia has been mounting pressure on Ukraine, with reports that up to 190,000 troops are stationed on the country’s borders. Shchastia, a territory controlled by Ukraine, has reported attacks on the Lugansk thermal power plant. It was forced to close the plant down as a security measure,  leaving the region without electricity and heat for days.  The electric power distribution centre in the Donbass region was reportedly targeted in shelling carried out by the…

Fraud and error are likely to have cost the UK government as much as £16bn across the Covid-19 emergency loan schemes, according to parliament’s spending watchdog, which described the losses as “unacceptable”. A report from the public accounts committee published on Wednesday said the Treasury should by the end of the year come up with estimates of fraud and error losses across the individual schemes and how much it intends to recover. The government guaranteed or gave out loans worth £129bn to people and companies during the coronavirus pandemic to support them financially through lockdown restrictions. However, ministers were warned…

NICOLA STURGEON has told universities to draw up plans to return to online learning, as Boris Johnson unshackles England from Covid rules. The Scottish First Minister contrasted Mr Johnson’s push for freedom by preparing to keep pandemic rules in place indefinitely. An “advice note” sent to higher education institutions by the Scottish government warned “Covid safe behaviours” must continue to be observed. It said face coverings must continue to be worn, one-way systems imposed and preparations made for a “rapid switch to partial or more general online learning should that be required”. The fresh guidance was issued after “concern” that…
