As the second half started, Christian Pulisic suffered an apparent hamstring injury, ending his day. Later in the second half, Mateo Kovacic picked up a second yellow card, leaving Chelsea down a man as play resumed down the stretch.

A spokesperson for the streaming platform told Newsweek on Wednesday that neither Netflix nor any of the show’s hosts were involved in the retail chain’s staffing choices. The spokesperson also noted that one employee featured in filming was not white. “Queer Eye’s hosts, producers and crew had no knowledge or influence on Old Navy staffing choices while filming in a Philadelphia-based store this past week,” the statement said. “While filming, production featured one female employee, an African American manager, who completed an on-camera styling consultation and also served as a point of contact for our crew....

The Brazil international suffered disappointment at the hands of PSG as Monaco lost the Coupe de la Ligue final 3-0 on Saturday. Fabinho has been linked with a switch to the Parc des Princes but, although Monaco have little to play for beyond finishing second to PSG in Ligue 1, he remains focused on matters on the field. “Speaking the truth, I have had no contact with any team and I do not even care at the moment,” Fabinho told Globo Esporte....

Guy Rosen, VP of integrity at the company, spoke highly of Facebook’s ongoing efforts after analysis was released by the European Commission on Tuesday, showing how the platform’s enforcement was comparing to YouTube and Twitter. The findings were based on a study of hate speech notifications during a period of six weeks, between November 4 and December 13, officials said. Facebook defines hate speech as an attack on people based race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, orientation, sex, gender identity and serious disease or disability....

Cunanan was a skillful fraud. He knew enough, was practiced enough, to fake his way into glittery worlds far beyond his means or station. In 1990 he was standing in a crowd of partygoers in the VIP room of Colossus, a San Francisco club, when the fashion god Gianni Versace, in town to be feted for the costumes he designed for the opera ““Capriccio,’’ made his entrance. Spotting Cunanan from a distance, Versace walked over and greeted young Cunanan, who was then 21....

The company endured grueling bipartisan questioning on Tuesday and Wednesday during Congressional hearings, as legislators asked why the public should trust Facebook given the company’s history of scandals and record of playing fast and loose with the rules. Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown summarized public skepticism in searing comments. Speaking to Facebook vice president David Marcus on Tuesday, Brown compared Facebook to “a toddler who has gotten his hands on a book of matches” and said the company “has demonstrated through scandal after scandal that it doesn’t deserve our trust....

The source of controversy is the invitation card for the festive bash, scheduled to be held in downtown Phoenix and to include Blake Masters, Rep. Madison Cawthorn and Rep Louie Gohmert among speakers and attendees. The Claim An image of the GOP Christmas party invitation circulating on social media appears to show a typo. The festive card is stylized after a poster for the 1946 film It’s A Wonderful Life, including the same drawing of a man holding a woman....

After hours of speculation, it was confirmed that Cruz was on the trip. Cruz said he flew there for the night to drop off his daughters on a trip with friends. He later called the trip “a mistake.” “With school canceled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends.

This comes in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022, removing the legal protection of abortion rights across the U.S. Now, states can make abortions illegal if they choose: as of September 28, 17 states have banned or restricted abortion, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia....

The Claim Georgia Governor Brian Kemp spoke about vaccine mandates in the context of COVID during an appearance on the Erick Erickson Show podcast. While doing so, he mentioned an “AIDS vaccine” and suggested one had been mandated. “We should focus on being civil and educating people about the vaccine and not trying to bully them into taking it and work at it that way,” Kemp said. “I mean that’s basically how the AIDS vaccine worked, you know people wouldn’t take it early on ‘cause it was mandated, they started educating people and now it’s doing a lot of good out there....

Permafrost is land that has been continuously frozen for two or more consecutive years. Two years is the minimum; some areas in Siberia have been frozen for millennia, since the last Ice Age. However, as global temperatures continue to rise, this ancient soil is beginning to thaw. As well as sequestering greenhouse gasses, permafrost contains an unexplored diversity of unfamiliar microbes, many of which, called extremophiles, are able to survive through extreme conditions....

Now, that last method might be out of the bag, after a team of thieves reportedly stole an 800 kg steel sphere full of gin, hidden underwater and due to be shipped for the holidays. Confused? So were we, with few details of what a gin ball was, how it went missing, and crucially, whether the whole thing was a publicity stunt or even completely made up. The Claim...

The president got behind the wheel of the truck, alongside a Secret Service member, to take it on a short drive. “This sucker is quick,” Biden said after pulling up beside reporters on the test track. Biden also said that the vehicle manages to go from 0-60 mph in around 4.4 seconds—information he was perhaps not meant to reveal. “I should be quiet,” Biden to a Ford representative off-screen....

One of the unevidenced narratives that continues to surface purports that a shady network of elite operators are behind a global pedophilia ring. The conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell may have reignited this belief recently and even spurred on new claims that have appeared online since. The Claim A tweet, posted by former skater and prominent conspiracy theorist Jamie Sale on August 20, 2022, claims that Paul Walker, Anthony Bourdain, Anne Heche, and cinemaphotographer Halyna Hutchins were all working on documentaries about human trafficking and pedophilia before they died....

The president said he hoped 600 million COVID vaccines would be available to Americans by the end of July—enough to cover almost the entire population with two doses. He also said his administration did not have COVID vaccines when it took over from Trump’s, drawing criticism from former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. The Claim Biden said in the town hall that “we didn’t have” a COVID vaccine when his administration came into office....

Clinton claims to have “negotiated open borders” in Macedonia to fleeing Kosovar refugees. But the Macedonian border opened a full day before she arrived, and her meetings with Macedonian officials were too brief to allow for much serious negotiating. Clinton’s activities “helped bring peace to Northern Ireland.” Irish officials are divided as to how helpful Clinton’s actions were, and key players agree that she was not directly involved in any actual negotiations....

Bruno Metsu’s men put up a strong display against the Indomitable Lions, but surrendered the trophy to the defending champions 3-2 on penalties after scores stood 0-0 after extra time. But it’s not the game – which is the Lions of Teranga’s best finish in the tournament’s history - that Fadiga feels is his most memorable. It’s actually the 2-1 semi-final defeat of Nigeria at the Stade Modibo Keïta, Bamako in the same competition, that delivered the final slot to Senegal, with the 42-year-old admitting they came into the game as underdogs....

Rick Hendrick, owner of four full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams (Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Kasey Kahne), loaned $800,000 to DesignLine in 2010. MORE: Photos of NASCAR families | NASCAR nicknames DesignLine issued three separate payments of $100,000 to Hendrick before folding and amended the remaining $500,000 into a promissory note in 2012. The company has since filed for bankruptcy and is asking Hendrick to repay the payments the failed company made to Hendrick because DesignLine said it “received no benefit” from the borrowed money, the Charlotte Business Journal reported earlier this week....
