It was a still and sultry night in Qatar’s capital: the grass a little greasy to the touch, the stadium bouncing and jiving, the football from a brighter and less troubled world. And there were times when watching Brazil’s symphonic demolition of South Korea when it was briefly possible to leave behind earthly cares, partake of the simpler pleasures in life, lose oneself in the pure, riotous joy of football. Brazil really were that good. For the first 40 minutes, as they waltzed and wove their way to a four‑goal lead, they played the sort of football we have not seen from…

More than 10,000 NHS patients have been given faulty knee replacements, it was revealed last night. The National Joint Registry said 350 people needed a second operation within ten years due to ‘aseptic loosening’. The Nexgen implant, made by US firm Zimmer Biomet, was withdrawn from the market in October. The implant has failed in up to 7 per cent of patients over the past decade – twice the accepted failure rate set by the registry, which monitors hip and knee surgeries. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said it would issue a ban on the implant, which has been…

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s deposition, taken as part of a lawsuit alleging collusion between the U.S. government and Big Tech to censor people, was released on Dec. 5. The 446-page document shows the questioning of Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser. Fauci was under oath on Nov. 23. Here are some takeaways: Fauci Relied on Others to Dismiss Lab Leak Theory Fauci said he did not have the expertise to determine whether COVID-19 came from nature or a laboratory, despite repeatedly dismissing the theory that it originated in a Chinese lab.…

Lara Trump will no longer serve as a contributor to Fox News, the network confirmed on Dec. 3. The parting of ways follows former President Donald Trump’s Nov. 15 announcement that he will seek presidential office again in 2024. “We appreciate Lara’s valuable contributions across Fox News Media programming,” a Fox News spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times on Saturday in a statement. Lara Trump, who served as a senior adviser to her father-in-law’s 2020 campaign, joined Fox News in March 2021. At the time, she was also considering a run for Senate in North Carolina—a move she ultimately decided against, citing familial obligations. “I am saying no for now,…

Former President Donald Trump responded to the release of “The Twitter Files” this weekend, decrying what he described as official corruption across the federal government and in big tech firms. “The same level of Fraud took place with the other Big Tech companies, if not even worse (if that’s possible?),” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We are living in a VERY CORRUPT COUNTRY &, AS THEY ARE SAYING ALL OVER THE INTERNET, ‘NOTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT & FBI ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT.’ But they’ll keep investigating ‘boxes’ that were legally & openly taken from the W.H.” “Does anybody notice…

Raheem Sterling is returning home from the World Cup in Qatar after armed intruders broke into his home on Saturday night. The England forward missed the 3-0 win against Senegal in the last‑16 tie on Sunday and Gareth Southgate said it was unclear whether Sterling would return. England play France in a quarter-final on Saturday. Southgate said Sterling would be allowed “as much time as he needs” to deal with the emergency, which has left him shaken and concerned for his children. The England head coach was asked whether Sterling would come back and told ITV: “I really don’t know because at the moment…

Plans to overhaul NHS pension rules have been set out by the government in an attempt to retain more senior doctors in the health service. Launching an eight-week consultation, ministers said the proposed changes would also remove barriers to retired clinicians returning to work. They include new “flexibilities” to allow retired and partially retired staff to return to work or increase their working hours without having payments to their pension reduced or suspended. Officials said it would allow staff to claim a portion or all of their pension benefits but continue working and contributing to their pension. Ministers hope that by encouraging…

From first to last, the drum beats were relentless from the small section of Senegal supporters. They pounded in the temples of everybody present, creating an oppressive backdrop to this high-stakes occasion. It was one in which England had to show their concentration, their resilience, their quality. How they succeeded, lengthening their stride after a sticky start to set up a mouthwatering quarter-final against France on Saturday back here at Al Bayt. England stayed calm when Senegal threatened to turn the first half into an ordeal for them and, when they had their opportunities, they made them count. Jordan Henderson does not…

Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk and independent journalist Matt Taibbi on Friday unveiled what drove former Twitter executives to suppress the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election. Dubbed “The Twitter Files,” Taibbi published his reporting in a thread on his Twitter account, which he said was based on “thousands of internal documents obtained by sources” from the social media platform. The series of posts on Twitter contained communications amongst Twitter employees as they grappled with how to excuse their decision to censor the Hunter Biden report. Musk, who has championed transparency at the company…

Officials from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security frequently met with major social media companies ahead of the 2020 election and pointed out users and pieces of content for removal, according to information from a deposition of a senior FBI agent revealed by a state Attorney General. “We found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech—from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns,” said Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt in a Dec. 2 series of tweets, three days after deposing Special Agent Elvis…
