The Algeria international handed in a transfer request after Pep Guardiola’s side tabled a bid worth £60 million for his services. However, it is understood that the Foxes demanded in excess of £95m for the winger, who this season has returned to the form that saw him become an integral member of Leicester’s title-winning team. Indeed, Mahrez has scored eight goals and provided eight assists in 24 Premier League outings thus far this season and now appears to be back in favour at the King Power Stadium....

Italy’s Inept Rulers Your Feb. 25 cover story on “Italy’s Mess” highlighted the country’s current bleak economic and political plight. These effects have started to take their toll on people’s lives to such a degree that they can’t be ignored. Economic data released by reliable, unbiased international watchers, showing a decline in all major economic indicators, have been almost completely ignored by the ruling political parties over the past decades....

Another Evil Despot I read with interest your article on Kim Jong Il and the rising anti-American sentiment among Koreans (“North Korea’s Dr. Evil: Is Kim Jong Il a Bigger Threat Than Saddam?” Jan 13). It is true that some Koreans hate America and want U.S. troops to leave South Korea because, they say, U.S. forces are an obstacle to reunification of the two Koreas. And although that radical minority gets much media attention, you should know that the silent majority of Koreans are still for the U....

The TikTok, captioned, “Have I stumbled on a love story, this was my special 2/22/22 moment,” has been viewed over 275,000 times since being posted on February 23. In the short 11-second clip posted by user @genevieveabell, or Genevieve Abell, a mailman, who had mail in his hand and a mail bag on the other shoulder, stopped to interact with the TikToker’s cat named Moose. The TikToker captured the moment some feet away, and the cat sat outside near the mailbox as music from Glass Animals’ Heat Waves played and the carrier reached toward the cat....

Despite airing its final episode back in 2019, Game of Thrones has several projects in the works. The Targaryen-centered series, House of the Dragon, is set to premiere in late August, set roughly 300 years prior to the events of Game of Thrones. A Game of Thrones spin-off is also being reported, with Kit Harington set to reprise his role as fan-favorite as Jon Snow. The fate Game of Thrones’ final season dished out to Jon Snow was massively criticized, as was a development in Arya Stark, another Game of Thrones fan favorite....

Maison Des Champs, who refers to himself as a “pro-life Spiderman,” was spotted climbing the Devon Tower in Oklahoma City, according to KFOR. The outlet reported that Des Champs has completed similar climbs in other cities, including San Francisco and New York. The abortion debate has been a hot topic following the leak of a draft opinion from the Supreme Court in which it shows the court could potentially overturn Roe v....

During the Packers’ NFC North battle with the Vikings on Sunday, a squirrel managed to work its way onto the field during the first quarter. How the little fella plucked up the courage to storm a grassy area filled with enormous human beings all by his lonesome, we’ll never know. But he sure made it look like he belongs.

As an 88-year-old, longtime subscriber, I would like to congratulate Newsweek on the Nov. 8 cover story about HMOs (“Critical Condition,” Focus on Your Health). Too often, the media seem unwilling to take on powerful business interests, and health insurance has become very big business indeed in a few short years. Doctors are no longer entrusted with many life-and-death decisions; hospitals are no longer able to keep patients until they are strong enough to go home; sick people who go for help are no longer asked, “What can we do for you?...

The most recent in a series of graphical overhauls designed to breathe new life into the nearly nine year old tundras and taigas of Skyrim, modder Iconic’s Project Clarity - Effects Textures Redone project targets and overhauls the game’s various particle effects via an AI-upscaled HD texture pack. This mod effectively sharpens the existing effect textures used in-game, removing the subtle blurriness of the stock textures that serve to date the game especially when other graphical improvement mods are used in conjunction with this mod....

The polling by NBC News/Wall Street Journal showed that 51 percent of respondents believe Confederate statues should be taken down, while 47 percent disagree. That represents a significant shift from 2018, when a clear majority (63 percent) of Americans said that the monuments should remain, while just 35 percent said they should be removed. At the same time, only a small minority (10 percent) of Americans believe that the statues should be destroyed completely....

Rebuking any hypothetical talk about Trump running for president again in 2024, most Americans would prefer to see him disappear from the public eye altogether. The latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey released Friday evening found wide partisan divides on this sentiment—with 81 percent of Democrats wanting Trump to vanish entirely, compared to just 26 percent of Republican voters who feel that way. Smaller minorities of frustrated GOP voters want to see Trump either start a third party or remain active in politics, just not with any direct allegiance to either party....

Noble, 17, suffered a spinal cord injury on September 20 while performing a gymnastics exercise known as tumbling, which involves flips, twists and jumps. Her recovery progress has captivated thousands, with the cheerleader receiving an outpouring of support from people around the world. Since her accident she has become able to move her arms, talk to the camera, confirm feeling in her legs and toes and recently, get off of supplementary oxygen....

For the nervous investor it seemed like one more ugly portent. Wasn’t boo once a candidate for a stock-market listing and reckoned to be worth more than $350 million? If a venture supported by the Benetton family and luxury tycoon Bernard Arnault could fold, how about the rest of Europe’s new crop of start-ups? A study last week by accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers suggested that a quarter of Britain’s listed Internet companies would run out of funds within the next six months....

With two fledgling side ventures, though, Adams is inching perilously close to the cliff’s edge. To launch a line of meatless, vitamin-packed burritos called the Dilberito–likely to show up in grocery stores in the next month or so–he set up Scott Adams Foods and hired a food-industry consultant, Jack Parker, as its lone executive. And last year Adams opened his own eatery, Stacey’s Cafe, in Pleasanton, Calif. A former restaurant manager, Stacey Linkhart, is running it....

The Bosses Bill Clinton is the man everyone in Washington thought would buckle. He hasn’t. But his resistance may be crumbling. He’d like to claim credit for a balanced-budget agreement during the campaign. In the opposing camp, Newt Gingrich desperately wants a budget deal to certify his leadership. But last week he spooked the financial markets when he said no deal would likely be struck until after the November elections....

This information comes from divorce filings filed by David’s parents Richard and Elizabeth Katz. According to the divorce filings, David played video games “obsessively” to the point where he “refused to go to school or bathe.” David’s mother Elizabeth claims that her son exhibited poor hygiene, not washing his hair for days, and when she confiscated his video games, she would find him “just walking around the house in circles....

Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner hit a single into left field. Shortstop Charlie Culberson raced around third base to force a play at home plate. He was initially ruled out having never actually touched the plate, but the play was reviewed and overturned because Cubs catcher Willson Contreras blocked Culberson’s path to the plate before he had the ball. An irate Maddon stormed onto the field to argue, furious at the decision, and he was ultimately ejected....

In the developers’ recent game update, a Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness trailer was unveiled, and it was announced that the official release window of the title is Fall 2022. The trailer showed snippets of story cutscenes, character creation, and the in-game battle system. Fans will likely appreciate that the game will have an original story by the manga’s author, Akihito Tsukushi, and that it still follows the adventures of the manga’s protagonists Riko and Reg, to some extent....
