Wearing his trademark zip-front Mao jacket, the 58-year-old dictator surprised President Kim by meeting his plane at Pyongyang airport. “Don’t worry....

Such an argument is “not surprising,” legal expert Neama Rahmani told Newsweek. Rahmani is a former federal prosecutor and president of West Coast Trial Lawyers. “It’s really the only viable defense here,” Rahmani said of defendants pointing their fingers at Trump or other government officials.

His yellow card for simulation in the penalty area against Liverpool brought hostility and condemnation from all quarters, putting not only the performances but also the ethics of the 21-year-old under scrutiny.

Brazil are in much better shape, having already qualified thanks to 10 wins from 14 games, but Juventus defender Alves - a former team-mate of Messi’s at Barcelona - is confident both of South America’s big two will advance....
