  Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang said on Wednesday his jaw was injured during a violent armed robbery at his home but he expects to recover "in no time". "On Sunday night some violent cowards broke into our home and threatened my family and my children, just to steal some stuff," Aubameyang tweeted.

  A UK judge on Wednesday discharged the 11-person jury in the domestic violence case against former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs, after it failed to reach a verdict despite days of deliberations. Judge Hilary Manley dismissed the jury of seven women and four men, which had been given the option of delivering a majority verdict, after determining there was no "realistic prospect" of a decision following almost 23 hours of consideration. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which oversees prosecutions in England and Wales, were given a week to decide whether to retry the case following the four-week trial at Manchester Crown Court. "I have permitted the prosecution a short period of time to consider their position," Manley told Giggs shortly after discharging the jurors, adding "more will be clear in a week's time". The CPS must consider the public interest of a retrial of the 48-year-old former footballer, who until recently served as coach of t

  Huge Heffner's girlfriends have come forward to say that while they lived in the famous Playboy Mansion, they had to participate in unprotected sex orgies with him otherwise they would be gaslit and not invited back to Heffner's inner circle and lose their privileges. Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt were both part of Huge Heffner's inner circle and they both dated him and were his "main girlfriends,". According to A&E's 10-episode documentary called "Secrets of Playboy," the playmates had a very different perspective and experience than what people perceived living in the famous mansion meant. Furthermore, both Playboy bunnies opened up at a can of worms on Heather McDonald's "Juicy Scoop" podcast by claiming that they had to have unprotected sex with more people "I was still just gonna watch and then [one of the other Playmates] was like, 'Aren't you gonna go?' It was like, 'You need to go.' And I was

The first episode of Meghan's podcast Archetypes dropped today, August 23. In the podcast, Meghan tells Serena Williams about the horror moment she was told Archie's nursery had caught fire in 2019. Meghan and Harry were visiting the South African township of Nyaga when officials told Meghan "there was a fire in the baby's room". Meghan had just finished giving a speech when she got the news. She and Prince Harry raced home to find their then-nanny - named only as Lauren - in tears. Meghan said: "The moment we landed, we had to drop [Archie] off at this housing unit that they had had us staying in. "He was going to get ready to go down for his nap. "We immediately went to an official engagement in this township called Nyanga, and there was this moment where I'm standing on a tree stump and I'm gi

  The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recognized Togo as the first country globally to eliminate four Neglected Tropical Diseases. The WHO made this known during its Regional Committee for Africa meeting held in Lomé on Monday, August 22. Between 2011 and 2022, Togo has successfully eliminated dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease), elephantiasis (lymphatic filariasis),  human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), and trachoma. NTDs are a group of 20 preventable and treatable diseases, but 1.7 billion people worldwide still require NTD interventions. Many NTDs debilitate, disfigure and disable by preventing children from going to school and adults from being able to work. In a statement by Associate Consultant, Kingsley Ochieng of the Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases, he noted that as the first country acknowledged by WHO as having won its fight against four NTDs, Togo eliminated all four diseases in just eleven years. “Togo previously achieved transmission-free s

  Top boxing promoter,  Eddie Hearn has claimed that Anthony Joshua has 'lost faith in the system' after he threw Oleksandr Usyk's world heavyweight titles out of the ring after his rematch defeat last weekend.  Joshua failed to reclaim his WBO, WBA, IBO, and IBF titles to Usyk which he lost in their first encounter last September at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. After losing a split-decision on the judges' scorecards, an emotional AJ  confronted members of Usyk's team and threw his rival's titles out of the ring before conducting a bizarre post-fight speech. Speaking about the incident, Hearn told IFL TV: “He’s held onto those belts for a long time, and those governing bodies have charged him a lot of money and put a lot of mandatories on him.”  “And I think he’s lost a lot of faith in the system and I think he started to not be interested in fighting for belts anymore. I think he just wants to fight for enjoyment and to challenge himself. “Of course, he

  The federal government of Nigeria and the United States government have reached an agreement on the return of over $23 million of the Abacha loot. The agreement signing ceremony was held in the office of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami on Tuesday, August 23. Mr. Malami signed on behalf of the Nigerian government and the U.S Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard, signed on the behalf of the U.S government. According to Mr Malami, the fund when returned will be invested in three ongoing projects by the Federal Government, including the ongoing Abuja-Kaduna road and the 2nd Niger Bridge.

In 2020, the US and Jersey also agreed to return over $308 million in confiscated funds to Nigeria.

  Arsenal have been placed on the FFP watchlist by UEFA after reporting a loss of £213million over the past three seasons. UEFA rules only allow € 30 million (£25million) over a three-year period, but UEFA allow covid-related losses, and 'healthy' spending on women's football and the academy to be written off. The Gunners have spent heavily over the past two seasons. Last summer, Arsenal were the Premier League's top spenders, parting way with over £150million on Ben White and Aaron Ramsdale among others. This summer, Arsenal have purchased Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Fabio Vieira. The Daily Mail are reporting 20 clubs across Europe have been identified as potentially breaking FFP rules for the 2021/22 season by UEFA. However, UEFA are still yet to receive the final accounts from teams, meaning it's  unclear what sort of punishment Arsenal could receive. PSG and Barcelona are also set to be handed punishments for their accounts up to 2020/21.

  Riders of the San Francisco Bay Area metro system in California may have seen a new station guard recently. Pac-Man, a 5-year-old Harris’s hawk, has occupied the perch at El Cerrito del Norte station and is keeping an eye out for pigeons rather than fare-evaders. Pac-handler Man’s Ricky Ortiz, a falconer with Falcon Force, started patrolling the station with the bird this summer under a contract with BART to keep pigeons at bay and shield riders from pigeon poop. The squad patrols three days a week, beginning their day at the entrance on the ground floor before surveying the platforms and chasing away any pigeons that could be perched on ledges or on the station’s interior scaffolding. Ortiz has thus far observed a significant difference. He said, “There was probably less than half of the pigeons here after the week of us flying.” Ortiz makes an effort to prevent Pac-Man from devouring the pigeons or neighborhood rodents by providing him with food throughout the day to keep his feath

  The producers of the “Oprahdemics” podcast are being sued by Oprah Winfrey’s firm, which claims that the podcast misleads listeners into believing that she has endorsed or approved it. Winfrey’s Harpo Inc. claimed in a complaint submitted late on Tuesday to Manhattan federal court that it is neither suing “Oprahdemics” authors Kellie Carter Jackson and Leah Wright Rigueur for profits or damages nor attempting to halt the podcast. It instead requests a name change, claiming that the podcast and associated live events tarnish Harpo’s “Oprah” and “O” trademarks and improperly profit on the reputation that Winfrey has worked so hard to establish over the years. The “Oprah Effect” or “The O Factor” is the term for the “exponential” increase in sales that results from simply being connected with the “Oprah” brand, according to Harpo, which is Oprah spelt backward. According to the “Oprahdemics” website, Jackson and Rigueur are historians and friends who analyse historic Winfrey talk show e

  R. Kelly’s inmate commissary fund has reportedly been sized by the feds. According to Bloomberg reports, Prosecutors requested a federal court to seize over $28,000 from his inmate commissary fund after R. Kelly failed to pay $140,000 in court-ordered fines. The letter sent on August 4 read, “the defendant had accumulated substantial funds in his inmate trust account.” The Bureau of Prisons consequently froze the funds, leaving him with $500. The same day, Jennifer Bonjean, Kelly’s attorney, tweeted that the government was acting unethically. She explained, “After seizing his funds and after sending this email, @EDNYnews decided to file a motion to confiscate his trust account money.

In an emotional op-ed for Vogue Magazine‘s latest issue, Serena Williams announced that after the US Open which begins August 29th, she’ll be “evolving away from tennis”. “…I’ve been reluctant to admit to myself or anyone else that I have to move on from playing tennis. Alexis, my husband, and I have hardly talked about it; it’s like a taboo topic. I can’t even have this conversation with my mom and dad. It’s like it’s not real until you say it out loud. It comes up, I get an uncomfortable lump in my throat, and I start to cry. The only person I’ve really gone there with is my therapist! One thing I’m not going to do is sugarcoat this. I know that a lot of people are excited about and look forward to retiring, and I really wish I felt that way,” Williams wrote in the emotional piece. Below are some e

  Toyota has issued a warning to owners of its BZ4X electric SUV that they should stop driving the vehicle and have it transported to a dealership because of a severe problem: the wheels could fall off while driving even after just a short time on the road. Toyota did not know why this was happening, but the automaker said it would investigate and have the problem corrected once engineers understood why the wheels were coming loose. Now, over a month later, Toyota has not yet identified the issue and is offering to simply buy back the SUVs from customers who no longer want to wait for the problem to be resolved. Because the issue became evident soon after the SUVs went on sale, there are only about 260 BZ4X owners in the United States facing this situation. There are more who had ordered the SUV but not yet had it delivered when the "Do not drive" warning was announced. Those customers have never been able to accept delivery of their SUVs. The automaker has offered a number o

  The battle over Prince’s $156 million estate has finally come to an end six years after the music legend’s death. A Minnesota state judge on Monday split cash, music rights and other assets belonging to the late icon evenly between two holding companies ― Prince Legacy LLC, controlled by a group of three half-siblings and their advisers, and Prince Oat Holdings LLC, controlled by three other half-siblings and the music publishing company Primary Wave. Prince, who died of a fentanyl overdose in 2016, hadn’t written a will and his half-siblings were named legal heirs due to his lack of kids and a spouse, according to Billboard. L. Londell McMillan, one of two advisers who control an “undisclosed stake” in the estate and are partnered with Prince Legacy LLC, suggested the settlement will open the door to a wave of Prince-branded enterprise, including at his famed Paisley Park home outside of Minneapolis. “I represented Prince for over 13 years and we led with innovation to reform the mu

He winds up defending the club and the town from corrupt local business magnate Brad Wesley, originally played by Ben Gazzara.

  Just Few Days after removing an insensitive remark from “Heated” on her most recent album “Renaissance”, Beyoncé has taken out an interpolation of Kelis’ song Milkshake from her new single Energy. Days after Kelis publicly criticized Pharrell Williams and the “Love On Top” singer for allegedly failing to inform her that a sample of her 2003 single would be interpolated on “Energy,” the fifth track from Beyoncé’s new album. The interpolation is reportedly no longer audible while being streamed on Apple Music and Tidal. However, as BuzzFeed pointed out, the sample is still there in the song’s lyrics video, which was first posted to YouTube on July 28.

It’s uncertain whether it will be modified to reflect the song’s revised version. Beyoncé’s seventh studio album, Renaissance,

  The Federal Government of Nigeria today justified the approval of N1,145,000,000.00 for the purchase of vehicles for neighbouring Niger Republic. There had been outrage over the Federal Government’s largesse to the neighbouring country, as some have questioned why such money should be given to Niger Republic when public universities in Nigerian remained closed for about five months over the inability of the government to meet up with the demands of staff. The outrage began after journalist and social media influencer, David Hundeyin, exposed the Federal Government’s gift to Niger Republic. However, the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, when asked to confirm the reports, argued that even though Nigerians have the right to question the approval, President Muhammadu Buhari, who approved the purchase also has the right to make his own assessment on situations and act accordingly. Responding to questions at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Counci

  Eleven golfers from the fledgling LIV Golf Invitational Series filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour, arguing that their careers were hurt when the Tour suspended them after they joined the Saudi-funded breakaway league. The move has been expected since LIV emerged earlier this year to challenge the PGA Tour’s professional golf supremacy. Unlike some of the other players who left for LIV Golf, the 11 players who filed the lawsuit — Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford, Matt Jones, Ian Poulter, Abraham Ancer, Carlos Ortiz, Pat Perez, Jason Kokrak and Peter Uihlein — have not forfeited their PGA Tour memberships, meaning they still hoped to play on both tours. But the PGA Tour did not give them permission to play in LIV tournaments and issued multiple-year suspensions after they did so. The lawsuit alleges that the PGA Tour has not only threatened golfers who sought to play in LIV tournaments, it also “threatened sponsors, vendors, and agents
