After Monday’s game between Morocco and Ghana saw the Atlas Lions come away with a 1-0 victory, we were treated to another matchup of expected title contenders, and the result showed one side is far more prepared to push for the crown than the other. Liverpool superstar Salah was entirely locked down, with little to show for his 90-minute effort as Nigeria smothered the Egyptian playmaker. Kelechi Iheanacho’s first-half goal proved the difference as Nigeria fended off a late Pharaohs push to claim all three points....

Speaking at a press conference in London on Wednesday, anti-corruption firebrand Mohamed Ali told reporters that Sisi’s “vicious regime” is inflicting brutal hardships on the Egyptian people and risking a new wave of migration into Europe. Ali has been living in self-imposed exile in Spain since he fled Egypt, where his series of videos detailing corruption within Sisi’s regime and the country’s powerful military went viral. A businessman, his work in the construction industry won him government contracts and access to evidence of vast abuse of power....

According to multiple reports, Manuel will get the nod after Taylor was unable to bounce back from a sprained MCL suffered during last week’s win over the Titans. Taylor is officially listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis this week. MORE: Injury report | Week 6 picks | Bills one of most penalized teams ever | More rehab for Manziel? Manuel took the majority of first-team snaps in Taylor’s place during practice this week with newly signed Josh Johnson behind him....

Walkers Involved in More Falls Than Canes People were 7 times more likely to be injured by a fall when using a walker rather than a cane. Seems counterintuitive, doesn’t it? Further study is needed, but it could be that people who use walkers and canes are more fragile and therefore more likely to fall than those who don’t use them. Approximately 78% of walker-related injuries and 66% of cane-related injuries happened to women....

One of the most successful is a TikTok video made by a group called the Old Gays, to advertise Shake Shack’s new Pride shake—and people online are obsessed with it. The footage, which was shared on June 14, shows the group’s journey of acceptance. It begins with a shot of a vintage photo of a young man. A voice can be heard saying: “Growing up, my father was always trying to out me....

GOP candidates for president can expect to be victorious in 65 percent of future presidential elections and University of Texas at Austin researchers analyzed why “inversions” — where the popular vote winner loses the overall election — has happened twice since 2000. The study authors found that the Electoral College’s winner-take-all approach favors Republicans and has pushed them to victories in 2000 and 2016. The researchers concluded that inversions will occur more and more in 2020 and beyond unless a policy change completely dissolves, rather than reforms, the Electoral College....

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are currently waiting for the final votes to be cast to determine who will be in the White House come January—despite the former prematurely and falsely declaring victory earlier this morning. The presidential candidates are particularly awaiting the results of the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, which have a total of 46 electoral votes and would, at the time of writing, give Biden more than the 270 votes needed to secure the presidency....

And much like President John F. Kennedy’s challenge 60 years ago for the United States to claim a leadership role in space, electrification is an urgent choice worth making. Doing so will align our country behind a goal that is entirely within our reach and can be influential in addressing climate change. With nearly 30 percent of carbon emissions in the United States produced by the transportation sector—three-quarters of that from roadway vehicles—the connection between infrastructure, climate and public health is well understood....

The footage, which was shared to Twitter on May 8, shows a large elephant holding a cricket bat in its trunk and repeatedly hitting a tennis ball. The animal has impressive skills, barely missing any of the bowled balls, and the surrounding men act as fielders to its hits. The video was posted to the social media site by user @Gannuuprem, along with the caption: “Have you seen an elephant playing cricket?...

The DC Defenders wide receiver’s mother, Tranae Jackson, was laid to rest in Miami on Saturday, but her son was in Washington playing a game against the New York Guardians. Asked why he had done so, Rogers told ESPN: “Man, I’m really just thinking about her and what she would want for me. XFL WEEK 2: Results, highlights from Defenders’ victory “We have a certain relationship where she understands that I’m not too fond of certain things....

Elin Nordegren graduated last week from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, and was chosen to speak to her class as the "Outstanding Graduating Senior." According to the Orlando Sentinel, she made references to her former husband and the episode that led her to divorce him in a speech filled with some inspiration and a little humor. "It was right after I had taken 'Communication and the Media' that I was inexpertly thrust into the media limelight," said Nordegren, adding with a laugh, "I probably should have taken more notes in that class....

The Massachusetts lawmaker and former Democratic primary contender was reacting to the court’s 5-3 ruling against the request by her party to reinstate a six-day extension for the receipt of mail-in ballots in the Badger State, to take into account the delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Democrats fear that the ruling may impact more on those who support former Vice President Joe Biden who are more likely to vote by mail in the battleground state which President Donald Trump narrowly won in 2016....

It appeared that there was a possibility that Rick Hendrick might not have a Cup ride available in 2016, and the 19-year-old Elliott wondered about his future. He had just won the Nationwide (now Xfinity) Series title in 2014 and, after trying to defend his title in 2015, the next logical step was a Cup ride. Elliott tried not to worry about it. “I never asked any questions about it,” Elliott said....

Of the 24 players Ellis called in, 18 were part of the team that qualified for the World Cup and won the Concacaf Women’s Championship earlier this month. That means there is room for six new faces: Adrianna Franch, Merritt Mathias, Danielle Colaprico, Allie Long, Andi Sullivan, and Emily Fox. Midfielder Colaprico is receiving her first call-up since 2016, while University of North Carolina defender Fox is the only player on the roster to get her first senior call-up....

Berman, a Republican, has authored a bill that would compel Texas to deny benefits to children of what he calls “illegal aliens.” He knows the bill, which flies in the face of legal precedent, would face immediate challenge. “We want to go into federal court,” Berman says. “The mail on this is running 50 to 1 in support.” The courts, he believes, would agree with his contention that the 14th Amendment, mandating equal protection, “does not apply to foreigners....

The Tesla CEO’s deal to acquire the company, which closed last week following a tumultuous few months of anticipation, has been praised by right-wing figures who have accused the platform of exercising a bias against conservatives. Musk, 51, immediately made big changes behind the scenes by firing several top executives at the social media company, including CEO Parag Agrawal and head of legal Vijaya Gadde—the latter of whom was publicly criticized by the South African-born billionaire....

The decision was not uncontroversial. Some called out Musk’s privilege (“Sometimes I forget that Elon Musk has always been a privileged rich kid”) while others suggested alternative picks (Officer Eugene Goodman, who stopped the January 6 rioters, was popular, as were the inventors of the vaccine) and others still brought up the fact that America’s schoolchildren might have been more apt, given all they had suffered. The controversy evolved further after Musk took the opportunity the day after the announcement to mock Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, calling her “Senator Karen” after Warren tweeted that Musk didn’t pay enough in taxes and comparing her to an angry mother....

In a tweet regarding new Twitter policies, Musk said that the policy “is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.” “Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter,” he wrote. “You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of internet.” In a follow-up tweet, the billionaire added: “Kathie Griffin, Jorden Peterson & Babylon Bee have been reinstated,” spelling both Griffin and Peterson’s first names wrong....

During an impromptu performance at a Cannes restaurant, John sang a portion of the modernized version of his 1971 hit, Tiny Dancer, that he recorded with Spears. Spears teamed up with John to record Hold Me Closer, a reworking of the singing legend’s iconic hit. Perched behind the DJ at the La Guerite restaurant in the south of France, John delighted fans who cheered wildly when the opening refrains of the well-known song started....
