Relief for Ten Hag as Man United holds Liverpool to 0-0 draw at Anfield

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:06:53 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Manchester United held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw in the Premier League on Sunday as Jurgen Klopp’s team was knocked off the top of the table by Arsenal. Erik ten Hag’s United soaked up the pressure at Anfield and goalkeeper Andre Onana pulled off a string of saves to earn a valuable point in a match that saw Diogo Dalot sent off in stoppage time. Arsenal had provisionally moved to first place after a 2-0 win against Brighton earlier in the day. And the Londoners will now remain top — one point ahead of second-place Liverpool — ahead of their visit to Anfield next Saturday. United was routed 7-0 on its last trip to Liverpool in March and went into this game with speculation hanging over Ten Hag’s position after 12 defeats in all competitions and elimination from the Champions League. But it produced one of its most battling performances of the campaign to frustrate its fierce rival, and had a chance to score a winner through Rasmus Hojlund...

Southwest praised for plus-size policies

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:06:53 GMT

Advocates for overweight passengers are praising Dallas-based Southwest Airlines for its accessible policies for more room on aircraft.Southwest, which has had the policy in place for years, allows for customers who require extra room to buy the needed number of seats before traveling. A traveler on Southwest can then request a refund for the cost after traveling. Travelers also may discuss seating arrangements with a customer service agent at the gate on the day of the flight.It’s a policy that’s been in place for “more than 30 years,” but has recently caught the attention of advocates on social media.“Most importantly, it ensures that all customers onboard have access to safe and comfortable seating,” Southwest’s policy reads.Other air carriers don’t typically publish or offer accommodations for passengers of size, leaving them frustrated and without guidance at the airport when trying to navigate the small legroom and seating size in a typical aircraft. Alaska Airlines has a poli...

Ryland was 1-of-2 on field goals and 2-of-2 on extra points as he made a 25-yarder and missed a 41-yarder.

Wonka waltzes to $39M opening

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:06:53 GMT

NEW YORK — “Wonka” debuted with $39 million in box office sales in U.S. and Canadian theaters over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. That made it a strong start for the Timothée Chalamet -starring Willy Wonka musical that underscored the young star’s draw.Musicals have been tough sells in theaters in recent years, so much so that Warner Bros. downplayed the song and dance elements of “Wonka” in trailers. Instead, the studio emphasized Chalamet, the 27-year-old actor who, with “Wonka,” notched his second No. 1 movie following 2021’s “Dune.” The earlier film recorded a $41 million opening.While “Dune” was a sprawling and star-studded sci-fi adventure, “Wonka” relies chiefly on Chalamet’s charisma.“Wonka,” which cost about $125 million to produce and played at 4,203 locations, was also the first big Hollywood release to launch following the end of the SAG-AFTRA actors&...

Talks on border security grind on as Trump invokes Nazi-era ‘blood’ rhetoric against immigrants

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:06:53 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Negotiators rushed to reach a U.S. border security deal Sunday that would unlock President Joe Biden’s request for billions of dollars worth of military aid for Ukraine and other national security needs before senators leave town for the holiday recess. The Biden administration, which is becoming more deeply involved in the talks, is facing pressure from all sides over any deal. The administration and Senate negotiators had hoped to reach a framework by the weekend, but that’s deeply uncertain. The talks come as Donald Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner in 2024, delivered alarming anti-immigrant remarks about “blood” purity over the weekend, echoing Nazi slogans of World War II to cheers at a political rally.“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump said about the record numbers of immigrants coming to the U.S. without immediate legal status.Speaking in the early-voting state of New Hampshire, Trump, drew on words similar to Adolf ...
