Chelsea announced Mykhailo Mudryk as their fifth signing of the January transfer window after the Ukrainian winger completed his move from Shakhtar Donetsk to the Premier League club. In a statement, Shakhtar said they “will receive 70 million euros ($76 million) for the player and another 30 million euros is envisaged as a bonus payment.” The 22-year-old has signed on an eight-and-a-half-year contract. In a busy transfer window, Chelsea have already signed defender Benoit Badiashile, striker David Fofana and midfielder Andrey Santos, while forward Joao Felix joined the London club on loan from Atletico Madrid earlier this month. Mudryk, who…

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is poised to block Scottish laws that make it easier for people to change their gender. New legal advice could pave the way for the government to stop Sturgeon’s gender recognition laws from getting royal assent this week, though it was unclear what that advice was. Sunak will make a final decision with Scotland Secretary Alister Jack this week on invoking section 35 of the 1998 Scotland Act, which will prohibit Holyrood’s presiding officer from submitting the bill for royal assent, the report added. Scotland passed the bill last month, making it the first region…

There are no logs of who has visited President Joe Biden’s house in Delaware where classified documents were found, according to the White House. “Like every President in decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal,” White House spokesman Ian Sams said in a statement to media outlets. The U.S. Secret Service, which provides security for the president, doesn’t keep logs for any facility—including private residences—according to Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the agency. The service screens visitors but doesn’t keep records of who is vetted, Guglielmi told The Epoch Times. There are no plans to change that because each person would…

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to his newly acquired social media platform over the weekend to make a series of quips aimed at the global organization, the World Economic Forum (WEF). The WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland—which features a host of international leaders, central bankers, Wall Street executives, and celebrities—began on Monday and will continue throughout the week. “I guess there’s value to having a mixed government & commercial forum of some kind. WEF does kinda give me the willies though, but I’m sure everything is fine…” Musk said via Twitter on Sunday evening, responding to a Substack article co-written by independent journalists Michael Shellenberger and Izabella Kaminska. The…

Britons are waking up to blankets of snow this morning after the arrival of an Arctic blast sent temperatures plunging overnight, kicking off a five-day sub-zero freeze that could bring lows of up to -10C. The Met Office warned of rush hour chaos from today due to treacherous conditions on roads, while the majority of the country remains under a yellow weather warning for snow and ice. The northern parts of Wales and Scotland and the south-east and north of England are expected to see the most snowfall, with sheets of the white stuff already seen in the likes of Kent, Northumberland, Carlisle…

Nicola Sturgeon has been accused of being ‘in a muddle’ over Scottish independence after backtracking on a pledge to turn the next general election into a de facto referendum. Last year, the First Minister vowed to treat the next UK election as an independence vote if the Supreme Court ruled – which it did – that she couldn’t call a poll without Westminster’s consent. But yesterday the SNP said it will give members two options at a conference in March. Either, Ms Sturgeon can use a good result at the next general election – which must be held by January 2025 – to pressure No…

The black box and cockpit voice recorder from the Yeti Airlines plane that crashed in Nepal have been located, as the country observed a day of mourning on Monday for the victims of its deadliest aviation disaster in three decades. Teknath Sitaula, a Kathmandu Airport official, said the so-called black boxes were “in a good condition now. They look good from outside.” The development came after 68 people were confirmed to have been killed in the plane crash and police said they did not expect to find any more survivors. The Yeti Airlines ATR 72 plummeted into a steep gorge, smashed into pieces and…

The target on Arsenal’s back has got bigger and bigger, as Antonio Conte had noted on Friday, but hardly anyone has been able to hit it over the first half of the Premier League season. Certainly not Conte’s Tottenham, who suffered another stinging derby-day reverse. The 3-1 loss at the Emirates Stadium last October was bad or maybe it was just explicable, more expected. This one was worse, mainly because of the first half, when Arsenal called the tune so completely and put the game to bed with two goals – the first on a calamitous Hugo Lloris handling error; the second a sweet…

A state Supreme Court judge in Syracuse, New York, struck down a statewide mandate for medical staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19, ruling that Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state’s health department overstepped their authority. In a landmark ruling issued on Jan. 13, state Supreme Court Judge Gerard Neri declared the statewide COVID-19 vaccine mandate for medical staff “null, void, and of no effect.” Hochul and the state Department of Health exceeded their authority by sidestepping the state legislature in imposing a permanent COVID-19 vaccine mandate for medical professionals, the judge wrote in the order (pdf). Neri also found that the mandate was…

Rishi Sunak has refused to back calls to boost the health service budget in an attempt to alleviate staffing pressures that have already led to strikes by nurses and ambulance workers, and could soon prompt junior doctors to strike as well. Asked on BBC’s Good Morning Scotland whether there was scope for a one-off increase in health spending, the prime minister added: “There is record funding already going into the NHS … in spite of the difficult decisions we have had to make to get a grip of borrowing and tackle inflation.” His comments on Friday reflect the Treasury’s refusal to provide…
