Ole Gunnar Solskjær put a quartet of recent semi-final stumbles behind him as Manchester United routed Roma to all but book a place in next month’s Europa League final. “We don’t feel the job is done but this was a good job done,” said Solskjær after a sometimes surreal first leg at Old Trafford, where United trailed 2-1 at the interval but ended up winning 6-2 after an apparently stern half-time homily from their manager. “I told them I wasn’t happy with the first half. We’d forgotten we have to [sometimes] run back. For five or 10 minutes before half-time we didn’t…

The Electoral Commission has launched an inquiry that has the potential to imperil Boris Johnson’s premiership as the “cash for curtains” row increasingly engulfed the prime minister. With sweeping powers to call witnesses and refer matters to the police, the watchdog said its probe was necessary because it already believed there were “reasonable grounds” to suspect that payments for expensive renovations to Johnson’s Downing Street flat could constitute several offences. Though Johnson has insisted he has done nothing wrong, he was goaded into a fury at prime minister’s questions as Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, interrogated him by asking pointed questions that Johnson mostly…

A lawyer for Rudy Giuliani said federal investigators executed a search warrant at the home of the former New York City mayor and attorney to former President Donald Trump and seized electronic devices. Giuliani’s attorney Robert Costello told Fox News that seven FBI agents arrived at his Manhattan apartment at 6 a.m. on April 28 and remained there for about two hours. They seized laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices, Costello said. “This is totally unnecessary,” Costello told Fox News, adding that the raid was carried out to “make him look like he’s some sort of criminal.” The New York Times was the first to…

Well, that de-escalated quickly. On a night of thrilling, see-sawing fortunes something strange happened at the Parc des Princes. For 30 first-half minutes Paris Saint-Germain threatened to swagger their way through an oddly fearful and muddled Manchester City team. At which point PSG simply collapsed like an over-inflated macaron in the face of a brilliantly assertive second half showing from a rejigged City – led by an alpha-dog performance from Kevin De Bruyne in central, right, left midfield, and pretty much every other position on the pitch. This 2-1 away win was a triumph also for Pep Guardiola, who did that thing here…

An Arizona judge on April 28 rejected an attempt by the Arizona Democratic Party to immediately halt an audit of the 2020 election in the state’s largest county. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin said Democrats didn’t provide “substantive evidence of any breaches or threatened breaches of voter privacy.” The lawsuit, filed just before the audit started last week, may ultimately succeed, the judge added. But it fell short of the “strong likelihood” of succeeding standard required for a temporary restraining order. Martin also expressed doubt that the balance of hardship in the case or public policy favors the plaintiffs—two factors that are…

NICOLA Sturgeon’s independence dream has been dealt a hammer blow by a new poll indicating barely four in ten voters now back a Scotland breakaway. The poll of 1,001 adults found 42 percent backed independence, 49 percent were opposed, and eight percent were undecided. Once the undecideds were removed from the equation, the 54-46 split was strikingly similar to the result seven years ago. Back in December 2019, 38 percent of those polled by YouGov for the Times backed independence with the lead for Yes as high as 13 percent in an Ipsos MORI/STV poll in October 2020. Other findings…

s the rain fell on a wild night in Madrid’s northern suburbs, as the shapes and angles whirred past in front of him, Thomas Tuchel could be seen crouched on his touchline, overcoat gleaming wet, arms describing abstract shapes in the air. How Tuchel enjoyed the opening hour of this game. But then this was a Champions League semi-final first leg so tight, so condensed with miniature drama, it seems possible even young people (demographic: 17-23) might have enjoyed watching it. Although perhaps not as much as Tuchel, who showed once again how good he is at managing these one-off occasions, the…

MEPS have voted in favour of the post-Brexit trade deal between the UK and the EU by a landslide number of votes. MEPS voted on whether to approve the EU-UK agreement, that was struck on Christmas Eve last year, last night. The vote was announced shortly after 8am this morning, which saw lawmakers overwhelmingly back the deal with 660 voting for, five against and 332 abstentions. European Commission President Ursual von der Leyen has welcomed the news, which brings over four years of acrimonious negotiations between the two sides to a formal end. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said…

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said on Tuesday it had voted to approve a SpaceX plan to deploy some Starlink satellites at a lower earth orbit than planned as part of its push to offer space-based broadband internet. Elon Musk’s SpaceX had asked the FCC for approval to fly 2,824 satellites at a lower orbit as part of the plan to provide high-speed broadband internet services to people who currently lack access. The change in altitude would improve space safety, reduce power flux density emissions to improve the interference environment and lower “elevation angles to improve the customer experience,” SpaceX told…

Professional services giant PwC, based in the City of London, claimed the bloc “needs London” because of the UK’s position on the world stage. And John Garvey, PwC’s global head of financial services stressed any deal on financial equivalence would happen in the long term. Responding to comments made by the EU’s Commissioner for Financial Services Mairead McGuinness, Mr Garvey said: “There’s going to be a strange relationship developing over time where the Europeans realise they need London. “So, I think there will be some kind of deal because the continent will need access to the London market. “I know…
