President Joe Biden hit back at Vladimir Putin on Tuesday evening, blasting his claim that U.S. wanted to ‘destroy Russia’ and saying that the war in Ukraine was entirely the Russian president’s doing. He dismissed Putin as a dictator who was bound to lose as he delivered a speech in Warsaw, Poland, to mark the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine and rally support for the fight against Russia. ‘The United States and the nations of Europe do not seek to control or destroy Russia,’ Biden said to cheers in the grounds of Warsaw’s Royal Castle. ‘The West was not plotting to attack Russia, as Putin said today…

A female White House staffer took a dramatic tumble down the steep steps of a government jet during President Joe Biden’s trip to Poland. The moment, which was filmed and broadcast on a Polish TV station, shows a person stumble down the steps on Tuesday morning. And at one point, they slide the rest of the way down. The female staffer, who has not been identified, was wearing a backpack which cushioned her fall. The person is understood to be part of the White House support staff who arrived in Warsaw on Tuesday morning. It came after Biden’s surprise hours-long trip…

Russia carried out an intercontinental ballistic missile test on Monday while Joe Biden was in Ukraine, according to a report – but warned the U.S. in advance. Moscow was told several hours before Biden arrived in Kyiv that he would be there, and warned not to attack the city during that time. The bold visit, designed to emphasize U.S. support for Ukraine as the first anniversary approaches, was not publicized in advance. But on Tuesday, two sources told CNN that Russia has tested an ICBM known as Satan II while the president was meeting his Ukrainian counterpart. Moscow warned Washington in advance, and the U.S. officials told…

Mohamed Salah has broken two Champions League records and equalled another after contributing to both of Liverpool’s goals in a 5-2 home defeat against Real Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday. Liverpool – who were seeking revenge over Real Madrid after losing last season’s final against the Spanish giants – raced into a two-goal lead at Anfield when Darwin Nunez and Salah both found the net within the opening 14 minutes. Salah played a perfectly-weighted pass towards Nunez who audaciously flicked the ball beyond Thibaut Courtois from inside the area to open the scoring in the fourth minute. In doing so, Liverpool’s Egyptian king registered his 13th…

On the eve of the club’s arrival in England this week, Real Madrid’s young France midfielder Eduardo Camavinga talked about the spirit that infuses the champions of Europe. He talked about how La Remontada, or the comeback, is part of Real Madrid lore. ‘People think Madrid are dead,’ Camavinga said, ‘but Madrid are never, never dead..’ He was talking partly about last season when Carlo Ancelotti’s side conjured a series of epic recoveries on their way to the Champions League final against Liverpool. Two goals down with half an hour to go against PSG in the round of 16, they…

RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose accepts his side have a tough task to stop a player ‘crazy about scoring’ in Manchester City’s Erling Haaland. Rose’s side come up against the formidable English outfit and the prolific Haaland in the Champions League on Wednesday. Rose knows Haaland well having coached the Norwegian at Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund. ‘He has improved his game a lot, his technical side, his movement and things around. Now he is playing for one of the best teams in the world and he is a world-class player. ‘But I have great confidence in my team. We want to compete against…

Neither Kevin De Bruyne nor Aymeric Laporte will travel to Germany for Wednesday night’s crucial Champions League last-16 showdown with RB Leipzig. Pep Guardiola is set to shuffle the pack but will be without two of his most crucial stars for the trip, perhaps with an eye on Saturday’s clash with Bournemouth as they look to reignite their Premier League title bid. The champions dropped two points on the road at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, allowing Arsenal to regain the lead at the top with a two-point advantage over their rivals. However, despite being a vital component of the title-winning sides since his 2017 arrival, Laporte has managed only 15 games…

MARCUS RASHFORD has put Chelsea to shame with his incredible goalscoring exploits since the World Cup. The forward travelled to Qatar having scored four goals in 14 Prem appearances this term. But he has taken a huge leap since returning from the Middle East. Rashford’s double against Leicester on Sunday made it 16 goals in 17 appearances in all competitions since English football’s resumption. This is a huge contrast to goal-shy Chelsea. Graham Potter’s side are on a dismal run of just two wins in their last 15 games, stretching back to before the World Cup. In their 11 matches since Qatar, the…

N’Golo Kante is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract at Chelsea, with the midfielder closing on a return to first term action following a long-term injury. Kante’s current deal at the club expires at the end of the season, and the two parties have been engaged in discussions for months regarding his future at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are confident an agreement is now close, according to the Telegraph, with Kante reportedly settled in London. Talks over a new contract have been taking place as Kante recovers after surgery on his hamstring in October, which ruled him out of action for…

MANCHESTER UNITED could be without Harry Maguire, Antony and Anthony Martial ahead of the second leg of their Europa League play-off against Barcelona. The trio were all absent from United’s 3-0 win over Leicester on Sunday at Old Trafford. Former Foxes defender Maguire missed out with a knee injury, while Marital and Antony haven’t played since the start of February. It’s been another injury hit campaign for Martial with the Frenchman currently nursing a hip problem with summer signing Antony still out with a muscular problem. United play Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday and Erik ten Hag had hoped Antony, Martial along with Scott Mctominay…

Erik ten Hag’s use of Jadon Sancho and Wout Weghorst in his Manchester United team is fascinating, with a video breaking down the duo’s roles going viral. United are currently third in the Premier League table thanks to a sensational run of form in the post-World Cup break. The Red Devils have only lost one game since then and are five points behind league leaders Arsenal. He’s got the full buy-in of his entire squad. Ten Hag perhaps hasn’t managed any as well as Sancho. The 22-year-old joined United from Borussia Dortmund for £73 million in 2021, struggling to make an impact…

The Manchester United ace has explained how Wout Weghorst is still contributing to the club’s fine form despite the fact that he is yet to score a Premier League goal for the Red Devils Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has leapt to the defence of Wout Weghorst after Richard Keys claimed it was like the Red Devils were playing with 10 men when the Dutchman is on the pitch. The Netherlands international arrived at Old Trafford last month on loan for the remainder of the campaign from parent club Burnley. He was actually at Turkish outfit Besiktas at the time but cut short his loan there to try and make a…

Twitter is facing a barrage of lawsuits with claims from landlords, consultants, and vendors piling up, all of whom are alleging bills have been left unpaid. It comes as the social media company is attempting to cut costs and achieve a break-even point since billionaire Elon Musk’s $44billion takeover. So far, the complaints, total more than $14 million, plus interest according to nine lawsuits seen by the Wall Street Journal. They include a $7,000 bill issued by Twitter’s marketing department for a ‘swag gift box for Elon’ shortly before the $44 billion deal closed on October 27, with the vendor who provided the box still…

Manchester City have unusually deployed Bernardo Silva at left-back in their recent matches. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola raised a few eyebrows when allowing Joao Cancelo to leave on loan for Bayern Munich during the January transfer window, but that was nothing compared to when selecting one of his stop-gap replacements further down the line. Even in a dressing room as star-studded as the one City boast, Cancelo had been a shining light over the past two or three seasons, even if he struggled for game-time following the World Cup break. But the choice was made and Cancelo promptly boared a flight…

MANCHESTER CITY keeper Ederson is desperate for Champions League glory — to avoid getting the hairdryer from his wife. The Brazilian, 29, has been preparing to face RB Leipzig away in tomorrow’s first leg of their last-16 tie. And if he makes a mistake, wife Lais will let him know when he gets home. Ederson said: “When she thinks she must scold me, she does. When she feels like making a compliment, she does that. “She is not the kind that goes, ‘Calm down, you’ll get it right in the next one’. “Many times she goes, ‘You should have done that, you should…

The last time President Joe Biden spoke from the courtyard of the Royal Castle in Poland, the content of his 27-minute speech was mostly obscured by what he ad-libbed about Russian President Vladimir Putin at the end. “For God’s sake,” he proclaimed, “this man cannot remain in power.” Nearly a year later, Biden returns to the Royal Castle this week to mark the anniversary of a war that has increasingly put him directly at odds with the Russian leader, a Cold War dynamic underscored by Biden’s highly secretive visit to Kyiv a day earlier. Standing alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Biden used his…

The US has recently begun seeing “disturbing” trendlines in China’s support for Russia’s military and there are signs that Beijing wants to “creep up to the line” of providing lethal military aid to Russia without getting caught, US officials familiar with the intelligence told CNN. The officials would not describe in detail what intelligence the US has seen suggesting a recent shift in China’s posture, but said US officials have been concerned enough that they have shared the intelligence with allies and partners at the Munich Security Conference over the last several days. Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised the…

While she is both very talented and extremely beautiful, over the course of her career, we’ve seen her make some pretty questionable choices. Scarlett Johansson is, without a doubt, one of the most attractive Hollywood celebrities at the moment. She had always wanted to become an actress from a very early age and that is exactly what she did. Born and raised in New York, her mother used to take her to all kinds of auditions and it paid off when Scarlett made her acting debut at the age of eight. After a bunch of minor roles, she gained a lot…

Superstar Scarlett Johansson has never been shy about her tattoos. She’s got nine altogether, ranging from barely-there micro ink to a huge piece on her back that made headlines when she showed it off for the very first time. Here’s a comprehensive list of Johansson’s collection, from a tiny A to the tattoo that connects (almost) all of the Avengers. Unfortunately for anyone looking for deep insight into each of her tattoos, Johansson’s kept quiet behind the meaning of most of them. A few are easy to interpret, however — especially if her Avengers co-stars blab. Interlocked Circles With the Letter A One of…

The 33-year-old was recently named the world’s highest paid actress and has spent some of her money on a new property SCARLETT Johansson has splashed £3 million on a New York mansion, located in secluded hot spot. The 33-year-old, who was recently named as Forbes highest paid actress, purchased the home called The Ivy House, in the Snedens Landing enclave in New York State’s Rockland County. The stunning four bed property,  which is about an hour’s drive outside Midtown Manhattan, was designed by late architect and Sneden’s resident Eric Gugler, who was hired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to design the…

Phil Foden returned to the Manchester City side after injury issues and played on the right against Nottingham Forest this week. When Phil Foden was replaced on the hour mark at Old Trafford just over a month ago, he will have hoped his fourth start in a row would kick-start his season after the World Cup. Foden had only been given one Manchester City start in four after the World Cup, in his favoured left-wing position, and followed that up with a goal against Chelsea in the FA Cup from a more central midfield role – one he reprised at Southampton a few…

Manchester City star Ederson has compared Erling Haaland to Arsenal centre-forward Gabriel Jesus during a recent interview Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has compared Erling Haaland to Gabriel Jesus, claiming that the Arsenal man is better in a couple of areas. Jesus joined the Gunners from City during last summer’s transfer window before hitting the ground running at the Emirates Stadium. The Brazilian international netted five Premier League goals and provided a further five assists in his first 14 Premier League outings before suffering a knee injury during the 2022 World Cup. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since, with a return to action…
