The former Black Cats striker, who developed a close friendship with the six-year-old, left Bournemouth’s pre-season training camp in Spain in order to attend the service in Blackhall, County Durham. Thousands of people lined the streets and applauded as the funeral procession passed, with Bradley’s coffin travelling in a horse-drawn carriage draped in Sunderland colours. Friends and relatives walked behind dressed in superhero costumes and a variety of football shirts, some bearing ‘Bradley’ and the number six, while balloons were released from within the crowd....

"Like he always (does) — very professional, very calm … other than the other night," Poile said. Nashville's general manager was referencing the brutal butt-kicking Klein delivered to Dallas' Antoine Roussel on Monday night. As for the actual trade — Klein to the New York Rangers for Michael Del Zotto on Wednesday afternoon — Poile appears to have won something of his own. The logic behind it is clear enough: Nashville needed a lefty and wanted a puck mover....

Delano Burkes, 26, enjoyed a night out with friends on Saturday, November 12, and he was last spotted in the early hours of November 13 in Houston, Texas. The group had enjoyed drinks earlier in the evening, and were in Burkes’ car with one of his friends driving. They pulled over so Burkes could use the bathroom at McIntyre’s Bar near West 19th Street, but he didn’t return and they left without him....

Carr, one of only two NBDL players who didn't play in college, originally committed to Seton Hall but later served a short stint overseas in China. In his time with the 87ers, Carr averaged 10.7 points, 1.9 assists, and 1.2 steals in 13.8 minutes over 10 games. Carr was one of the most highly regarded high school players after putting up big numbers at Patterson in Baltimore despite his 5-foot-6 stature....

Around midnight some unannounced guests show up. They are led by a sturdy man in a baggy T shirt and goatee. Standing in the Grota, the slum’s potholed main alley, Valdecir Baiense could pass for a drug hoodlum himself–except that his head is bowed in prayer. “My Lord!” he beseeches. “Let there be tranquillity here! Let there be peace!” At his back is a small group of Evangelical Christian missionaries....

“Since the bill’s inception, Delta joined other major Atlanta corporations to work closely with elected officials from both parties, to try and remove some of the most egregious measures from the bill,” Bastian, the CEO of the Atlanta-based airline, wrote in the memo. “We had some success in eliminating the most suppressive tactics that some had proposed. However, I need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values....

Delta said in an email statement on Monday that the new cleaning procedures at Shanghai Pudong International Airport “require significantly extended ground time and are not operationally viable for Delta.” As a result, some passengers on the nearly 13-hour flight were left with expired U.S. visas and COVID-19 test results, Chinese media reported. China requires travelers to have a negative PCR and antibody test within 48 hours of the flight....

Published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the study stated that “based on the estimated transmission advantage of the Delta variant and using modeling forecasts,” 70 percent of new COVID-19 cases are projected to be of this variant in the European Union (EU) by early August, and 90 percent of infections by the end of that same month. ECDC said in the report that the Delta variant (B....

The Cowboys running back has a broken hand , but still suited up Sunday against the Colts. One person who’s not concerned about Murray’s hand is former MLB pitcher Jim Abbott.

But after reports broke Thursday that the Eagles had signed quarterback Carson Wentz to a four-year extension reportedly worth up to $144 million, the Cowboys Pro Bowl defensive end left this interesting nugget on his Twitter account: “The richer they get, the better it feels when we humble they a**.” It might have just been a coincidence that Lawrence, whose Twitter account profile calls him the “Sack master of the Dallas Cowboys,” tweeted that on the same day Wentz signed his lucrative deal....

The start of Dembele’s Barca career has been heavily disrupted by a hamstring injury, but the Catalans’ march to top spot in La Liga and Philippe Coutinho’s arrival for a fee which outstrips his could help ease the France international back into action. He successfully completed 100 per cent of his passes in a composed return as Barca beat Levante 3-0 on Sunday to restore their nine-point advantage over Atletico Madrid....

The €105 million signing from Borussia Dortmund has replaced Neymar at the Camp Nou club and has also claimed the Brazilian’s squad No.11. Barca 7/5 to win La Liga with dabblebet Neymar left Barca in acrimonious circumstances when he moved to Paris Saint-Germain in a world record €222 million deal, leaving vacant his position in the side and the shirt. Dembele will be charged with filling both. He arrives in Catalunya having initially taken the No....

It makes sense to wonder how Americans will respond if various plausible scenarios transpire. What if there is another insurrection—but with more participants? What if a mob effort to prevent a state legislature from functioning—like those in Michigan and Oregon—gains strength and triggers a counter-reaction? What if state officials hand elections to candidates who receive fewer valid votes in 2024? We can picture how highly engaged Americans would respond. We can be pretty sure Americans who are settled in their views and confident in their knowledge will line up with their side....

Buttigieg, who is gay and married to a man, made the remark during an interview with CNN’s State of the Union, after he was asked for his perspective on fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke’s assertion that he would revoke the tax-exempt status of churches and other religious institutions opposed to same-sex marriage. The South Bend mayor said he disagreed with the former congressman from Texas. “The idea that you’re going to strip churches of their tax-exempt status if they haven’t found their way towards blessing same-sex marriage, I’m not sure [Beto O’Rourke] understood the implications of what he was saying,” Buttigieg said....

The president’s refusal to accept the projections of media vote counters that he has lost the election, as well as his claims that the election is being stolen from him, is being put down as more than just poor sportsmanship. He is accused, along with many of the 71 million Americans that voted for him, of spreading “disinformation” about claims of voter fraud about officials in Democratic-run cities and states allegedly wrongly influencing the count and undermining the integrity of the election....

Critics charge that Democrats seek to use the Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, to funnel billions in aid to state and local governments. Opponents argue that such a move would, in effect, be a transfer of wealth from low-tax, well-governed states to high-tax, profligate states. Senator Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican, said he wants to redirect about $429 billion in unspent money from the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) to cover nearly 50% of the cost of the proposed new spending....

“Simply put, Mr. Miller is unfit to serve in any capacity at the White House, let alone as a senior policy adviser,” the group of lawmakers, including California Senator Kamala Harris, wrote in a letter that is expected to be sent to the White House on Monday. The letter was first reported by Huffpost. Miller has served as a senior adviser for policy since the start of the Trump administration....

The governor’s seat flipped to Democrats in 2018 after nearly two decades of Republican control, giving them their first statehouse trifecta since the early 1990s. Senator Jackie Rosen joined fellow Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto to give Democrats control of both of the state’s seats in the U.S. Senate for the first time in decades, giving Nevada just its third Democratic duo since 1954. But with Cortez Masto facing re-election this year, warning signs are emerging that Democrats’ momentum could be in jeopardy amid an apparent exodus of members from the party that have so far gone unmatched among Republicans....

Senate Democrats have enough votes to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, if they stick together and Sen. Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico, who has been out recovering from a stroke, returns to the Senate as he said he would to vote for the Supreme Court nominee. But few if any Republicans are expected to support Jackson, and she would not alter the ideological makeup of the high court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority....
