In the very last journey of a season filled with heartening, significant progress and understandable frustration alike, Andy Murray rose to produce perhaps his best result of the year, defeating Jannik Sinner, 7-6 (4), 6-3, in the second round of the Stockholm Open to reach his second quarter-final of the season. Murray’s victory over Sinner, the top seed and world No 10, is his second top 10 win of the season. Sinner, one of the best young players on the tour, has won two indoor titles in recent weeks. “I’m convinced I can play … well, I can. I’m playing at the top…

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk sold about $5 billion in shares, the billionaire reported in filings on Wednesday (November 10), just days after he polled Twitter users about selling 10 percent of his stake. In his first share sale since 2016, Musk’s trust sold nearly 3.6 million shares in Tesla, worth around $4 billion, while he also sold another 934,000 shares for $1.1 billion after exercising options to acquire nearly 2.2 million shares. The 4.5 million shares equate to about 3 percent of his total holdings in the electric vehicle manufacturer, which makes up the vast part of his estimated $281.6 billion fortune, according…

A top infectious disease doctor has raised alarm about COVID-19 vaccine mandates despite top federal officials recommending them for businesses, schools, and other institutions. Dr. Matthew Memoli, who runs a clinical studies unit within the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci—is scheduled to argue against COVID-19 vaccine mandates during a Dec. 1 seminar hosted by the agency, according to David Wendler, a senior NIH bioethicist who is planning the seminar. “There’s a lot of debate within the NIH about whether [a vaccine mandate] is appropriate,” he told The Wall Street Journal. “It’s an important, hot…

There will be no school on Nov. 11 and Nov. 12 for students at Seattle Public Schools (SPS) because of a staff shortage, the school district said. The SPS, which serves more than 52,000 students, said Tuesday in a district-wide message that there is an unusually large number of school staff taking leave following Veteran’s Day, and that it’s unlikely there will be enough people to keep schools open. “There will be no in-person or remote instruction on these two days,” the district told parents and community members. “We are aware of a larger than normal number of SPS staff taking leave on Friday,…

A fully vaccinated player on the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings was taken to a hospital’s emergency room due to trouble breathing after contracting COVID-19, said head coach Mike Zimmer on Wednesday. “One of our players that was vaccinated, he had to go to the ER last night because of COVID. It’s serious stuff,” Zimmer told reporters, without naming the player. “Like 29 guys are getting tested because of close contact, including myself.” When asked if the individual’s condition was due to the vaccine or COVID-19 itself, Zimmer said that “it was COVID. I’m not a doctor, but it was COVID pneumonia or something … he…

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the second-largest school district in the nation, is facing another lawsuit against its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for employees. Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF), a non-profit organization based in Wyoming, and six members of California Educators for Medical Freedom filed a lawsuit last week to challenge LAUSD’s mandating all teachers and staff members to complete vaccination requirements by Oct. 15. The defendant will be served this week, according to HFDF’s statement. “Health Freedom Defense Fund opposes laws and regulations that force Americans to submit to the administration of medical products, procedures, and devices against their will,” HFDF stated. John…

RISHI SUNAK has set out his vision for ripping up bureaucratic EU rules to unleash the potential for the UK’s financial services. The Chancellor wants a new framework for financial regulation in the UK. It seeks to remove laws originally imposed by Brussels to give British firms more flexibility to boost the national economy. When the UK left the bloc, EU law was automatically rolled over. Ministers are eager to now go through the laws one by one and eradicate all those that are deemed unnecessary. The proposals outlined would give the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority…

Aston Villa look set to approach Rangers in the next 48 hours for permission to speak to Steven Gerrard, after the former Liverpool man was identified as their No 1 choice to succeed Dean Smith as manager. Gerrard, who is under contract until 2024 at Ibrox, is reportedly interested in a potential return to England should Rangers grant permission for talks. A compensation package of around £2m is unlikely to be a stumbling block for Villa’s owners, Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens. The 41-year-old has long been talked of as Jürgen Klopp’s successor at Anfield and, somewhat coincidentally, their current contracts end in…

The National Football League (NFL) has denied a comment from Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers that he was told by a league doctor that people who take a vaccine for COVID-19 will not catch or spread the disease. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told news outlets in an emailed statement, “No doctor from the league or the joint NFL-NFLPA infectious disease consultants communicated with the player. If they had, they certainly would have never said anything like that.” The statement counters what Rodgers said in an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Nov. 5. “One of the main docs said it’s impossible for…

Iain Duncan Smith is facing questions over his £25,000-a-year second job advising a multimillion-pound hand sanitiser company after he chaired a government taskforce that recommended new rules benefiting the firm. The MP and former Conservative party leader chaired the Task Force on Innovation, Growth, and Regulatory Reform, which reported back in May after he and two other MPs were asked by Boris Johnson to recommend ways of cutting supposed EU red-tape. However, the fresh spotlight on moonlighting by MPs has now prompted questions about the taskforce’s recommendations that alcohol-free hand sanitisers should be formally recognised as suitable for use in the…
