The shooting, which civil rights and gun rights groups have called preventable, has put increased scrutiny on the no-knock warrant, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey deciding to temporarily suspend them last week. The warrant’s release will also show who signed the warrant, as Newsweek previously reported Judge Peter Cahill, who presided over former officer Derek Chauvin’s trial, was reportedly the judge on duty when it was signed.

The Super League match between Melaka United and Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) last week produced some pulsating football, as well as late-match and post-match drama. Woo-Young Jeon netted the home side’s equaliser two minutes from the end of fulltime, to earn them a 1-1 draw against the league leaders. But it also produced a moment of pure hilarity, and luckily for the fans it was captured on video. Trying to run out the clock following the equaliser, Melaka’s star striker Ilija Spasojević tried shielding the ball near JDT’s left corner flag, and JDT’s Mahali Jasuli, Kunanlan Subramaniam and Shakir Shaari immediately cornered the Montenegrin, sending him sprawling onto the pitch....

The October update for Madden 21 fixes some gameplay issues, especially a bug that caused user-controlled quarterbacks to automatically throw to a receiver following a snap.

The story was featured on Netflix’s Making A Murderer, a true-crime documentary that argues the wrong men are in prison for her killing.

The Spain captain was responding to the 57-year-old who, earlier in the week, said the Real Madrid defender was not as good as his Atletico Madrid rival Diego Godin. Ramos, 32, was speaking after Spain’s 1-0 win over Iran at the World Cup on Wednesday and made it clear his Barcelona rival was far superior to Maradona. “In Argentina they know that Maradona is light years away from the best Argentine player in history which, for me, is Lionel Messi,” he said....

The multiplayer title is developed by Camelot Software Planning, who have become the go-to studio for Mario’s numerous sports-themed offshoots. As well as developing multiple golf spin-offs, they were also responsible for 2018’s Mario Tennis Aces and 2017’s Mario Sports Superstars, the latter of which saw challengers from across the Mushroom Kingdom competing in a variety of athletic minigames.

Video of the reptile was posted to Facebook on Monday by the relocation service Snake Catcher Noosa, after wrangler Luke Huntley was called to remove it from a home in Sunshine Beach, a coastal town in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland. In the cell phone footage, Huntley takes a plant out of the circular pot before instantly spotting the carpet python, which was tightly coiled up inside. Huntley suggested that the snake may emerge by itself, but ultimately resorted to pulling it out by the head and placing it into a bag to be safely located in the wild....

The Cameroon international forward turned out with the Argentine at Camp Nou from 2004 until 2009 and saw at first hand the talents that carried him to five Ballons d’Or. He believes that Mbappe, who signed for Paris Saint-Germain on loan from Monaco last summer with a clause that will take him permanently to the French capital as of next season, is capable of picking up Messi’s mantle. “He’s the future Messi if he manages his status, if he understands what is happening around his name,” the Konyaspor forward, who scored over 100 times for the Camp Nou club, said of the 19-year-old to France Football....

The Blues will face the five-time Ballon d’Or winner once again when they host the Catalan side for the first leg of their last-16 clash at Stamford Bridge on February 20. Although Messi has some bad memories of trips to Chelsea, having missed a penalty against them in the 2012 semi-final that saw the Premier League side advance to the final with a 3-2 aggregate win. Messi may have been left devastated by that incident, but Morata has warned Antonio Conte’s side that containing the Argentine icon is dangerous enough to leave Chelsea in tears next week....

“It’s not #MeToo that railroaded Harvey Weinstein,” attorney Donna Rotunno, who joined the case Thursday morning alongside fellow defense attorney Damon Cheronis, told Newsweek. “It’s the emotion that surrounds it.” “If we look at #MeToo only in the context of Harvey Weinstein, I find it to be extremely dangerous,” she added. “If we’re talking about the larger sense, I see positives to it. But I’m not a subscriber to it....

Why Mom has been canceled The departure of Anna Faris from the show may have been a significant factor in the cancelation of the sitcom, as ratings on the series remain respectable—though around a fifth of viewers have stopped watching the show this season, which began with Faris’ character Christy starting at Georgetown Law School on a scholarship. Faris had surprised many by announcing she was not returning for Season 8 just weeks before production was set to start on the current set of episodes....

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte experimented with a new formation in Thursday’s 2-1 success at Turf Moor as January signing Giroud was partnered with last summer’s big-money capture Morata. The pair had played together from the bench, but never from the start, and Giroud was impressed with his link-up with the Spain international. “We haven’t played together much, but it is easy to play with this kind of player,” Giroud said at Turf Moor....

Mou’s Reds 21/10 to beat Chelsea Despite leading the Red Devils to three trophies in his first season at the helm and forcing them into Premier League title contention this term, the Portuguese continues to face criticism. He has been accused of being too conservative in big games, with a 0-0 draw at Liverpool in October held up as a perfect example of that mindset. Some narrow victories since then have done little to change the opinion of some....

Ali, the show’s creator, head writer and executive producer, spoke to Newsweek about where she’d like to see Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) go in the MCU, saying she’d make a great leader for the Young Avengers. “This is not Marvel canon, this is Bisha canon not kind of sanctified by Marvel, but I would love to see her kind of put together this team of […] these new characters that are coming up,” Ali said....
