Why Reus is perfect for Arsenal The 57-year-old succeeded Pep Guardiola at the Allianz Arena ahead of the 2016-17 campaign, signing a three-year deal with Bayern. While his side have been criticised for their relatively slow start to the season, Ancelotti’s men now sit three points clear of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, having won each of their last seven competitive matches. Nagelsmann, 29, however, is generating discussion in the football world as his side sit third in the German top flight and remain unbeaten....

Why is NCIS not on tonight? With the TV season running for 39 weeks a year, and most network shows having between 20 and 24 episodes, series have to take a number of breaks during the year. The longest of these is the midseason break, when shows take a number of weeks off during the holidays, traditionally a time when people watch much less TV. However, shows also have to take a few more weeks off across the year so as to spread out episodes across the season....

Acting alongside the likes of Nicole Kidman, Michael Shannon, Melissa McCarthy and Luke Evans, Van Patten’s character has unexpectedly taken center stage in the plot of the show. Ahead of the final episode, “Ever After,” Newsweek spoke to Van Patten who shared hints about what to expect as the story wraps up. Nine Perfect Strangers’ “trippy” finale Micro-dossing and the effects of hallucinogenics has been the driving force of Nine Perfect Strangers, and Van Patten says there’s still more dramatic wackiness to come from the final episode on Hulu....

Whitty said: “The doubling time at the moment is slower than it was in March when it was three or four days. One of the problems we had in the first wave was we initially underestimated how fast the doubling was occurring at that stage and it’s very important we don’t do that for a second time. “Once exponential growth starts… things go very quickly. We are going up from a base, the tail of the first wave, in terms of deaths still occurring and these deaths on top so it’s not a straight like-for-like comparison....

In a viral Reddit post published on r/mildlyinfuriating, one Redditor (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) shared a photo of two cars parked directly in the middle of a cul-de-sac, and explained what exactly is happening in the image.

The lawsuit calls the categories, established by the state’s various circuit court clerks, “unscientific, highly controversial, misleading, useless, and tainted,” further alleging that the requirement infringes on applicants’ free speech and due process rights under the U.S. Constitution. In addition to the procedural complaints brought forth by the Virginia couples, their action also disparages the categories as rooted in a history of racial subjugation, describing the process where racial labels were added to Virginia marriage licenses in order to help enforce laws banning miscegenation....

Some baseballs marketed and sold as official 2019 postseason and World Series balls did not meet the requirements to qualify as an official, on-field ball, according to a report in The Athletic that quotes the COO of Rawlings, the company that manufactures the balls.

As part of her research, Wills purchased a batch of “official” 2019 postseason and World Series balls directly from Rawlings....

Already there have been questions over judicial jurisdiction. Spain, for example, has been reluctant to hand over 14 recently arrested suspects to the United States because of the Bush administration proposal to set up secret military tribunals. Some have suggested that terrorist suspects be tried in an international court instead. International crimes tribunals were set up to try war criminals in the Balkans, Rwanda and Sierre Leone. But David Scheffer, who played an integral role in establishing those tribunals, says they are not the best forum for dealing with terrorists....

Mourinho: Pogba doesn’t give an ass The Uruguayan won a vital spot kick for the Catalans as they made an astonishing comeback from a 4-0 first-leg deficit to beat PSG 6-1 at home, but evidently not everyone was left impressed as his action has inspired the Swedish side to take action. “It’s nothing we’ve decided overnight, but it was brought up by the context of the Barcelona match,” Johan Lindberg, a director of the club said....

In a post shared on Reddit last Thursday, under the username u/Age_Philosophy3776, the woman explained that her husband was supposed to spend Christmas with his family, who didn’t invite her over because she doesn’t have “the same level of respect” for her husband as they do—but he missed his flight because she didn’t wake him up. “The way I see it [they] treat him like royals, call him ‘heir,’ gift him expensive stuff....
