Mikel Arteta believes that Arsenal are in Premier League title contention – for the moment, at least – after watching them produce a dominant performance in the 1-0 win at Chelsea on Sunday which took them back to the top of the table. Arteta said that Manchester City, who are two points back in second place, remain the favourites but he did concede that his club are in the mix. “We are today,” Arteta said. “But in football, today and tomorrow is very different. So let’s enjoy the time. “Do something: just look at the last six years, what Manchester City have…

Elon Musk has said that any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be “permanently suspended”, issuing the warning after some celebrities changed their display names and tweeted as “Elon Musk” The new Twitter CEO tweeted on Sunday night: “Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning.” “Any name change at all” would result in the temporary loss of a verified checkmark, Musk said. On Sunday evening, several accounts that had changed their name to Elon Musk or approximations of Elon Musk appeared to be suspended or…

BERLIN—Swiss drugs regulator Swissmedic said on Wednesday it is examining potential risks in connection with bubbles that appeared in vials of COVID-19 vaccine boosters retooled to target the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. Swissmedic said it had been informed by vaccination centers of the appearance of bubbles during the preparation of the updated vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech targeting the original version of the coronavirus and the BA.1 Omicron variant that led to a record surge in cases last winter. “Vials of the batch concerned contained bubbles after being removed from the fridge,” said Swissmedic, adding that the phenomenon seems to be accentuated when…

The Bank of England has warned the UK risked being plunged into the longest recession in 100 years after it pushed up the cost of borrowing to 3% in the biggest single interest rate rise since 1989. A 0.75% increase, the latest in a series of eight interest rate rises since last year, would not be enough to guarantee victory in the war against double-digit inflation, the Bank said, as it cautioned further action would be needed. The UK economy faces a “very challenging outlook”, with a recession that began this summer now expected to last until the middle of 2024. With…

A first goal for 18-year-old Alejandro Garnacho was enough to defeat Real Sociedad but was not enough to progress as winners of the group, so Erik ten Hag’s team will be thrown into a playoff against one of those “failed sharks” from the Champions League: one of Ajax, Barcelona, Juventus, Leverkusen, Salzburg, Sevilla, Shakhtar or Sporting CP will have to be overcome to continue in this competition. That may not be too terrifying but it was not the way United wanted it. Two more games in the spring are not what they wanted either. Garnacho’s superb strike after quarter of an hour…

JERUSALEM—Israel Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Thursday congratulated Benjamin Netanyahu on his election win as final results confirmed the former premier’s triumphant comeback at the head of a solidly right-wing alliance. Netanyahu’s victory is set to end an unprecedented stalemate in Israel after five elections in less than four years. This time Netanyahu, the dominant Israeli politician of his generation, won a clear parliamentary majority, boosted by nationalist and religious parties. Tuesday’s ballot saw out Lapid, and his rare alliance of conservatives, liberals and Arab politicians which, over 18 months in power, made diplomatic inroads with Turkey and Lebanon and kept the economy humming. With…

Rishi Sunak is set to ditch his flagship Conservative leadership campaign pledges, as No 10 admitted there would be a review to assess whether they were still “deliverable” as a result of the worsening economic backdrop. It means Sunak is likely to abandon key promises on immigration in a week when both the prime minister and the home secretary have come under criticism for dangerous overcrowding at an immigration centre. The prime minister’s press secretary said ministers “need to look again” at a slew of promises made over the summer during Sunak’s losing battle with Liz Truss for the Tory…

The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) confirmed Nov. 2 that it monitors cameras at the home of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)—and that the cameras were not being monitored when a man broke in on Oct. 28 and attacked Pelosi’s husband. The cameras are not “actively monitored” unless Nancy Pelosi is at home, the USCP said. The speaker was in Washington on Friday with her protective detail. Personnel at the USCP’s Command Center did not notice anything was amiss at the Pelosi residence until they noticed police activity at the home. They then “used the feeds to monitor the response and…

Mortgage rates are expected to jump on Thursday in response to the largest increase in the Bank of England’s base rate since 1989, as the central bank tries to bring down an inflation rate expected to remain in double figures until at least next spring. Marking the eighth consecutive interest rate rise, the Bank of England is expected to push the base interest rate up by 0.75 percentage points to 3% after what is likely to be a tense meeting of the monetary policy committee (MPC). With economic figures showing that Europe and the US will be in recession next year, members of…

Graham Potter has admitted Ben Chilwell’s hopes of being fit for the World Cup appear bleak after the England defender pulled up with an injury which marred Chelsea’s victory against Dinamo Zagreb. Chilwell appeared to pull his hamstring during injury time at Stamford Bridge and with England’s first match against Iran on 21 November it looks highly unlikely the defender will recover in time to be considered for Gareth Southgate’s squad. It is the latest blow for Chilwell after he injured his anterior cruciate ligament last November which had kept him out until May. When asked how serious the injury looks,…
