Following an accomplished Premier League campaign last season, Maguire’s authoritative performances for England at the World Cup won him further admirers. United are rumoured to be readying a bid that would make the 25-year-old the most expensive defender in football but Puel has sought assurances from the Leicester board that none of his prized assets will be leaving before Thursday’s deadline. “It’s a good thing for Leicester to keep our valuable players, like Maguire, [Jamie] Vardy, [Wilfred] Ndidi - all these are very good players for us,” he told Sky Sports ahead of Friday’s season opener at Old Trafford...

Redmond and Saints team-mate James Ward-Prowse were included in Gareth Southgate’s 26-man squad for matches against Germany and Lithuania, having impressed in extensive Under-21 international careers under the same coach. Walcott’s England omission just bizarre But the pair did not see the news coming when Saints boss Puel mischievously called them into his office on the pretence they were to be reprimanded. “I found out about it when the manager pulled me and Prowsey in and told us he’s not happy with us,” Redmond told the club’s website....

Number 500 came off of Nationals pitcher Taylor Jordan in the top of the fifth inning and put the Angels up 6-2.

Purdue linebacker Jalen Graham found out the hard way on Saturday that excessive fun will not be tolerated in the Boilermakers’ 17-9 victory over Northwestern. He intercepted Wildcats quarterback Cole Freeman at the 50 in the third quarter and began the return down the right sideline. As he was heading down the sideline, seeing a wide-open lane, he began high-stepping from 35 yards out. But six points and a 20-3 lead wasn’t to be: Officials called Graham for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, pulling back the touchdown and setting up Purdue at the Northwestern 35....

The Master lived to fight again, capturing the heavyweight title and a design award two weeks ago at the second annual Robot Wars, a mechanized battle in which radio-controlled warriors armed with buzz saws, drills, you-name-it, go at each other until one can go no more. Marc Thorpe, who used to build models for George Lucas’s Industrial Light & Magic, conceived the contest while tinkering with his radio-controlled vacuum cleaner....

In general, a studio pays for a movie and gives a major star 25 percent of the film’s ticket sales. The studio keeps the rest, including all DVD revenue. Gibson flipped that model on its head, paying for (and therefore owning) his movie himself and giving Newmarket Film Group 10 percent of the gross. That decision could ultimately put as much as $300 million in his pocket. “It’s a huge risk,” says one agent....

Hertling’s comments came after Putin said in late September that Russia is willing to use nuclear weapons amid the war in Ukraine if it feels its “territorial integrity is threatened.” The Russian president stressed his remarks were “not a bluff.” This week, President Joe Biden said Putin is “not joking” about his threats to use nuclear weapons, warning such a response could result in Armageddon. Appearing on CNN International, host Michael Holmes asked Hertling: “How much of a wild card is someone like Putin, especially when cornered?...

Panelists on the Russia-1 program, Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov, talked about the need for the Kremlin to interfere with Western elections, including in the U.S., with the anchor saying, “bring on Trump” because “California will go nuts.” Anchors and pundits on Russian state television have previously described their preference for Trump and framed Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as a confrontation with the West and a way to reshape the global order....

The footage was shared to Twitter on Friday by Alex Kokcharov, a London-based risk analyst who focuses on Russia and Ukraine. “In this video from #Grozny, #Chechnya, south #Russia, 16-yo son of Chechnya head Ramzan Kadyrov is “gifting” to his father three Ukrainian POWs captured in #Ukraine. If this is not a theatre but real life situation, this is modern slavery,” Kokcharov tweeted. The video appears to show Russian soldiers walking towards Kadyrov, a staunch supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the prisoners....

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) on Wednesday published research concluding that Putin is likely responding to disapproval at home over Russia’s war in Ukraine by setting up Shoigu as a scapegoat. Putin is also growing closer to “radical” elements of his base, the ISW found. The research follows growing public criticism in Russia of Putin after his mobilization order has been marked by administrative gaffes and Russians fleeing the country....

Ahead of the final in Moscow between France and Croatia, Putin has met at the Kremlin with Qatar’s emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Putin says Russia’s World Cup has been a success and “I am sure that our friend from Qatar will succeed at holding the FIFA 2022 World Cup at the same highest level.” Putin ceremonially handed a football to the emir to mark the transfer to Qatar, which will be the first Arab country to host the tournament....

Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, hoping for a quick victory against his Eastern European neighbor. However, his military, which has been plagued by a myriad of issues in recent months, was met with a stronger-than-expected defense effort from Ukraine. Six months later, the Ukrainian military, bolstered by military aid from allies including the United States, forced Moscow’s troops to retreat to the most easternmost parts of Ukraine, where fighting continues with no clear end in sight....

Russia needs a lot more soldiers for the war. What he didn’t say is that he must compel them since they’ve stopped signing up voluntarily. He is willing to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia if he thinks it is threatened. The threat itself was never defined. He alleged, without evidence, that the West is using nuclear blackmail against Russia. The exact opposite is true. He is using nuclear blackmail against NATO countries, which are supplying Ukraine with modern weaponry....

The estimation was reported by Ivan Rusev, a Ukrainian biologist and the head of the scientific department of the Tuzly Lagoons National Nature Park, located in southern Ukraine. He said in a Facebook post that the number of dolphins thought to have died since Russia invaded Ukraine in February was much larger than previously thought. This is thought to be due to the presence of Russian ships and submarines. The noise the ships give off can cause dolphins and other marine life to become disorientated....
