City lost 1-0 to a Kai Havertz strike and the manager received criticism for his selection. On Tuesday he was asked whether this…

Children’s doctors are calling for an outright ban on disposable vapes to reduce their popularity among young people as the long-term impact on lungs, hearts and brains remains unknown. The government should ban single-use disposable vapes, which can be bought for just £1.99 and are most popular with young people, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has said. This would reduce their environmental impact and discourage children who have never smoked from taking up vaping and risking long-term addiction and lung damage. Dr Mike McKean, the RCPH vice-president and a paediatric respiratory consultant, said the college had made a “very…

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) says the FBI has failed to produce an unclassified document alleging that President Joe Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme and that Republicans in turn will move to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings.
