GOAL! Coventry 2-1 Leicester. Coventry have done it again! Substitute Tatsuhiro Sakamoto links up with fellow super sub Haji Wright – the latter scoring from close range. A huge goal for Frank Lampard’s team.

GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 Manchester. Manchester United extend their lead through Patrick Dorgu. United work in down the right before Matheus Cunha whips in a cross. Dorgu attacks it, getting to the ball before City’s defenders, and side foots his finish into the back of the net.

Nathan Chasing Horse, who had part in Dances with Wolves, accused in trial that spotlights influence of ‘medicine men’

After learning she was of Lakota descent around 1996, Melissa Leone, who was adopted, hungered to connect to her Native American tribe.

“I was grabbing a hold of any and all connections that felt good or safe,” she said.

On 64 minutes Michael Carrick’s second tenure went electric as Manchester United scored a classic breakaway goal by Bryan Mbeumo that sent the interim head coach berserk in the technical area.

After a clearing Harry Maguire header, the ball evaded Rayan Cherki and Bruno Fernandes galloped forward. He had Amad Diallo to the right and Patrick Dorgu and Mbeumo on the left; United’s streetwise captain delayed the pass expertly, then found the Cameroonian, whose finish beat Gianluigi Donnarumma with ease.

Vincent Chan, who already pleaded guilty to 26 offences, accused of possessing indecent images of children

A nursery worker who was convicted of dozens of sexual attacks on children left in his care has been charged with a further 15 offences.

Vincent Chan, 45, previously pleaded guilty to 26 offences between 2022 and 2024, including sexually assaulting four girls aged between two and four at the north London nursery where he worked, and offences relating to more than 25,000 indecent images of children.

The Trump administration’s immigration policies hearken back to the racist 1924 Immigration Act, meant to whiten the US

On 14 January, the Trump administration announced a stop on issuing immigrant visas for applicants from 75 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as 10 countries from eastern Europe. The Department of Homeland Security justified the decision by claiming that immigrants from these countries are at “high risk” of reliance on welfare and becoming a “public charge”.

As an immigration scholar, I was immediately struck by the falsehood of this economic justification. The vast majority of immigrants have been legally disqualified from cash welfare since 1996. Those who do qualify for benefits like Snap and Medicaid use them at much lower rates than non-immigrants. Through their taxes, immigrants are net contributors – especially undocumented immigrants who are excluded from federal benefits.

The cost of producing milk is higher than that being paid by milk processors, leaving farmers operating at a loss

“Every morning that I roll out of bed at 4.40am, I know I’m losing £1,800 that day, just by getting up.” This is the stark daily reality for Paul Tompkins, as he and his fellow dairy farmers struggle in the face of plummeting milk prices.

Tompkins, who is the third generation to run his family’s 234-hectare (600-acre) farm in the Vale of York, can produce milk for about 40p a litre from his 500-strong herd of black and white Holstein cows. However, he is being paid only 29p a litre by his milk processor, leaving him operating at a loss, despite trying to run his business as efficiently as possible.

Despite injuries, walkers and pet dog continue trek to promote ‘peace, loving kindness and compassion’ in the US

A group of Buddhist monks has passed the halfway mark on a 2,300-mile Walk for Peace, as they seek to raise awareness of “peace, loving kindness and compassion” in the US and the world.

The 18 monks, two of whom are following a Buddhist practice of never lying down during the three-month journey, were in North Carolina on Saturday, their 83rd day on the road. Led by the Venerable Bhikkhu Paññākāra, who is conducting the walk barefoot, they have already overcome a serious injury to one member of the group as they head towards Washington DC.

Focusing on the ex-president won’t distract Americans from the Trump administration’s foot-dragging on the Epstein files

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that, somewhere in a makeshift situation room in Mar-a-Lago, there’s a whiteboard with “very high IQ strategies to distract everyone from Jeffrey Epstein” written on the top.

We asked some of those who have family in Iran to tell us their views on the current crisis

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s former shah, has called on the west to help unseat Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader.

Speaking on Friday at a news conference in Washington, Pahlavi said: “The Iranian people are taking decisive action on the ground. It is now time for the international community to join them fully.”

Hardline Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami is not alone among regime voices calling for harsh response to unrest, say rights groups

A senior Iranian cleric has demanded the execution of protesters after a brutal crackdown raised the death toll in Iran and quelled the nationwide protest movement.

In a sermon on Friday, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami railed against demonstrators, saying “armed hypocrites should be put to death”. He described protesters as “butlers” and “soldiers” of Israel and the US, vowing that neither country should “expect peace”.

• FSF protests about security and accommodation concerns

• Training facility and insufficient ticket worries also raised

The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has accused Morocco’s local organising committee of undermining their preparations for Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final against the hosts. In a statement on social media, the FSF protested about a lack of adequate security on arrival, inadequate accommodation, confusion over training facilities and insufficient tickets being provided for Senegal fans.

Having beaten Egypt in Wednesday’s semi-final in Tangier, the Senegal squad made the 75-minute journey south to the capital on the Al-Boraq high-speed train. On arrival in Rabat they were surrounded by fans and local people demanding selfies and videos released on social media show them being jostled as they made their way through the station to the team bus.

Kaden Rummler and Britain Rodriguez tell KTLA and LA Times of being shot at close range during California protest

Two protesters have been blinded by so-called “less-lethal” munitions deployed by federal officers during an anti-ICE protest last week in Santa Ana, California, according to reports.

The blindings come amid rising scrutiny of federal authorities’ use-of-force policies, after the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer set off nationwide protests.

Atlas Lions face Senegal in final of Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday and Moroccan diaspora scents victory

London’s Little Morocco is brimming with pride and anticipation. The Moroccan diaspora in North Kensington is in no doubt that on Sunday the Atlas Lions will triumph against Senegal in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations.

“There’s not just an excitement, it has completely taken over everything else,” said Souad Talsi, who runs the Al-Hasaniya Moroccan women’s centre at the base of 31-storey Trellick Tower, at the north end of Golborne Road.

In harrowing documentary My Underground Mother, a woman finds out what really happened to her mother in the war

When journalist Marisa Fox was a young girl, her mother would regale her with stories of her own youth, all of which roiled with drama and consequence. When she was a 13-year-old girl living in Poland in the late 1930s, on the brink of the Nazi occupation, her mother told her she was pulled away from her mother and put on a boat to Palestine where she spent the rest of the second world war. As a teenager in that country, she said she became part of a radical Jewish underground group for whom she acted as a spy and a saboteur, smuggling bombs and guns which they used against the British army who ran the country at the time and who they very much wanted to force out. “I was a hero,” her mother would often boast, “never a victim.”

Stories like those both dazzled and horrified the young Fox, but by the time she was nine she began to realize that certain parts of the tale didn’t add up. “I would say to her: ‘Wait a minute, if you were born in 1935 and [the second world war] started in 1939, you would have been four, not 13,’” Fox said. “Whenever I would say that, she would say: ‘No more questions.’”

Chocolate treats reduced in size or weight as higher price of cocoa drives new wave of ‘shrinkflation’

Chocolate eggs are looking smaller than ever this year and it is not just because Easter is still so far away.

Many of the Easter eggs already out on supermarket shelves this month not only cost more, but have been reduced in size or weight as the price of cocoa has driven a new wave of shrinkflation.

⚽ Premier League updates from the 12.30pm GMT kick-off
⚽ Live scores | Latest table | And follow us over on Bluesky

Michael Carrick is the first manager of United or City to begin a spell in charge with a Manchester derby.

This is how Man Utd’s post-Fergie managers fared in their first derby; all were Premier League games.

David Moyes 1-4 (A) 2013-14

Louis van Gaal 0-1 (A) 2014-15

Jose Mourinho 1-2 (H) 2016-17

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 0-2 (H) 2018-19

Ralf Rangnick 1-4 (A) 2021-22

Erik ten Hag 3-6 (A) 2022-23

Ruben Amorim 2-1 (A) 2024-25

[On Man Utd’s tactics] No, I don’t know. They could play with a four or a back five; they could play with a false nine or Mbeumo up front. I’d love to know but we have to focus on ourselves.

[On the importance Rodri’s return] It’s not news! He’s so important. He was out for a long time, then he had a setback. We’re trying to manage his recovery.

I was a child actor, exploited by strangers on the internet. Now millions of children face the same danger

When I was a little girl, there was nothing scarier than a stranger.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, kids were told, by our parents, by TV specials, by teachers, that there were strangers out there who wanted to hurt us. “Stranger Danger” was everywhere. It was a well-meaning lesson, but the risk was overblown: most child abuse and exploitation is perpetrated by people the children know. It’s much rarer for children to be abused or exploited by strangers.

Progress of artificial general intelligence could stall, which may lead to a financial crash, says Yoshua Bengio, one of the ‘godfathers’ of modern AI

Will the race to artificial general intelligence (AGI) lead us to a land of financial plenty – or will it end in a 2008-style bust? Trillions of dollars rest on the answer.

The figures are staggering: an estimated $2.9tn (£2.2tn) being spent on datacentres, the central nervous systems of AI tools; the more than $4tn stock market capitalisation of Nvidia, the company that makes the chips powering cutting-edge AI systems; and the $100m signing-on bonuses offered by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta to top engineers at OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.

Megan Jayne Crabbe was diagnosed with anorexia at 14. When she hit her ‘goal weight’ and still didn’t feel happy, a supportive online community showed her a new way to live

Megan Jayne Crabbe’s transformation goes beyond the physical. “My ‘before’ was trying to make myself as small as possible in every conceivable way: my body, voice, emotions, opinions,” she says. “My ‘after’ is allowing myself to be my biggest self, however that looks.”

Crabbe, 31, became aware of diets before she turned 10. As she entered puberty that intensified and she became fixated on magazine articles about how to change her body, eating as little as possible as a way to manage anxiety about school and growing up.

M&S, Morrisons and Ocado among retailers bringing out ranges targeting shoppers taking Wegovy or similar

Veganuary and dry January are among the new year health kicks enthusiastically endorsed by supermarkets, but this year the buzz is around “Jab-uary” as pricey diet foods aimed at people on weight-loss drugs hit the shelves.

Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Asda, Ocado and the Co-op are among the big names targeting shoppers who use weight-loss injections, known as GLP-1 agonists, but better known by brand names such as Wegovy and Mounjaro.

Classrooms have emptied, shops have shut, and the mood is tense – but as the federal operation has ramped up, so has residents’ response

At 6.15am, Jac Kovarik revs up their SUV and snakes through the iced-over streets of south Minneapolis, eyes scanning for federal immigration agents.

The neighborhood where Renee Good was killed by a federal officer has been eerily quiet. The bus stops are depleted of early shift workers.

Strong media presence in Minneapolis has ensured Renee Good’s shooting, and its fallout, has received wide coverage

After a federal immigration agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with grisly videos quickly going viral on social media, news organizations from around the state, country and world dispatched correspondents and anchors to the scene.

In the days since, that media presence has ebbed and flowed – though a well-resourced local news corps and many national journalists have remained, including reporters for the Guardian, covering additional clashes between police and protesters.
