READ MORE: Brazil’s WCQ campaign in full | Brazil to meet Japan on BGT | Casting Call: Tite set to name new squad Around 80% of his panel looks to have already been decided, but with the coach desperate to continue experimenting and evolving ahead of Russia 2018, he may well include some wildcards once again after Arthur, Fred and Diego Tardelli earned unexpected call-ups last month....

Gandhi’s floundering campaign hasn’t helped the Congress cause. The Italian-born widow of one prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, and the daughter-in-law of another, Indira Gandhi, she entered the race with unparalleled name recognition but untested political skills. Her opponents have skillfully made her lack of Indian roots an issue; they regularly refer to her as an “alien.” An embarrassingly public search for a constituency she could easily win produced a wave of negative press coverage....

These are just some of the insults that have been lobbed against 2020 Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg, the millennial mayor from South Bend, Indiana, and first openly gay man to run for president. The small-town mayor initially enjoyed months of media praise after he launched his White House bid in April. The small-town mayor and military veteran was quickly hailed as the next Barack Obama because of his “hope and change” message to voters and flattering cover stories featured him in Time and New York Magazine....

In April 2022, WarnerMedia merged with Discovery, Inc. to become Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., and a lot of changes have begun to take place, the biggest of all being the shelving of the upcoming Batgirl movie, which had completed filming earlier this year. Over the past few weeks, six original Warner Bros. movies, labeled as Max Originals, were removed from HBO Max in an effort to cut costs, Variety reported....

On Monday, Protasevich, 26, appeared in a video shared to a pro-Belarus social media platform to state that he’s cooperating with authorities. “The attitude of the Ministry of Internal Affairs employees towards me has been as correct as possible and in compliance with the law,” he said in the video, as translated by CNN. “I continue to cooperate with the investigation and have confessed to organizing mass riots in the city of Minsk....

The object of the Maastricht meeting is ambitious: to lay out the ground rules for a full economic and political union-an EC with a single currency, a single defense and foreign policy and a parliament that would largely supplant 12 national legislatures. The immediate results will be far more modest; Germans and Italians won’t be paying their grocery bills with European Currency Units any time soon. But don’t be deceived....

The Allbirds Tree Pipers are visually fine, good even. But it’s their leisurely comfort and feel that make them an instant classic. Allbirds, Still Comfortable as Always Even though these shoes aren’t flashy, they are extremely freeing. They don’t tie you down. In fact, most of the time their comfort comes from the shoes’ completely disappearing from thought. This first starts when you take the shoes out of the box and are surprised by how light and airy they feel....

To be clear, here’s what we’re looking for in our flats: first and foremost, comfort. Flats should be commuter-friendly and blister-resistant (duh!). Second, there should be no lack of style. After all, who wants ugly flats? And third—last but not least, of course—they should be somewhat cost-efficient. As in, under $200. Oh, and as a bonus, each of these brands focus on sustainability and make machine-washable flats, too. Ready for our recommendation?...

In a video uploaded on January 14, Kat Marie or @kazmarie13 on TikTok replied to a video asking users to share a company secret. The TikToker received more than 78,400 views but had many users divided in the comments. Marie claimed in the video responding to another TikToker, @princessannafit, that the reason shoppers must give advance notice before buying a cake from the store is because it has to be taken out of the freezer....

WATCH: Cavani’s excellent header Juve went into the match knowing that one point would be enough to secure a record sixth successive Scudetto. Mario Lemina, in as one of six changes Allegri made to the side that booked a place in the Champions League final with a 2-1 win against Monaco on Tuesday, put them on the right track with his first goal of the season. Daniele De Rossi hit back for Roma four minutes later before second-half goals from Stephan El Shaarawy and Radja Nainggolan saw Luciano Spalletti’s side take maximum points....

The customer entered the post office, which is at 8501 Philatelic Road in Spring Hill, at around 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday to drop off a package—and spotted the alligator lying on the ground in the lobby. The reptile had made its way inside through the building’s automatic doors at some point earlier in the night, according to a statement from the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office. The shocked patron called the local authorities, who sent a trapper....

It was initially reported that Gollust, the network’s chief marketing officer, would be staying but she has now left—and released a fiery letter blasting parent company WarnerMedia for its “disastrous handling” of the situation. “WarnerMedia’s statement tonight is an attempt to retaliate against me and change the media narrative in the wake of their disastrous handling of the last two weeks,” Gollust wrote in the letter sent to colleagues, according to a CNN report....

The sport produces amazing moments and improbable occurrences. And sometimes it produces things that are nearly impossible to believe, like this: There have only been three players in MLB history with the first name Aurelio, and all three died in car accidents. That’s crazy, right? The only three players in major league history to share this particular first name also share the same basic cause of death. Sadly, it’s true....

Isaias is expected to approach Florida’s southeast coast late Saturday and continue into Sunday, according to an advisory from the U.S. National Hurricane Center as of Saturday morning. The storm was about 50 miles south of Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, and reporting 85 mph sustained winds. Category 2 hurricanes must have at least 96 mph sustained winds. The storm will continue moving northwest at 12 mph and some decrease in forward speed is expected, forecasters said....

The first task is to clarify what changes we’re talking about. Even the most successful presidents accomplish only two or three big things in eight years. Obama and Clinton have the same Big Three priorities: end the war in Iraq and restore America’s standing in the world; fundamentally reform the health-care system so that it’s cost-efficient and covers everybody, and transition to a “green economy” that cuts carbon emissions and creates jobs at the same time....

Isaiah, starring as NBA legend and 1980s Los Angeles Lakers superstar Magic Johnson, was a Hollywood newcomer prior to landing the iconic role. “I did have an IMDb page, it was just blank,” Isaiah told Newsweek earlier this month. “But that’s part of it, you know? It’s like, creating your own opportunities and really trying to speak it and push things into existence before they’re there, and inventing yourself,” he added....
