Judge Ware’s lies came to light last week. The James Ware whose brother was killed that day in 1963 is actually an unassuming Birmingham coal-company worker; he has never met the celebrated jurist nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals who shares his name–and borrowed his life story. After the deception surfaced in The Birmingham News, forcing Judge Ware to withdraw his name from consideration for the nation’s second highest court, the other James Ware told NEWSWEEK, ““I can’t understand why he wanted to do this ....

Signs of the Iranian people’s dissatisfaction with the regime are unmistakable and, of course, fully warranted. In the face of rampant corruption and abuse, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei maintains the absurd pretense that governance in Iran is rule‐based and embodies the will of the people. This falsehood is validated with regular and clearly manipulated electoral victories. But in the February 2020 legislative elections, turnout was a record low—even by Iran’s propaganda-driven standards....

But the Portuguese star wasn’t the only reason Real Madrid appear set for the final after a 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ronaldo hat-trick sees him match Messi’s CL record Madrid’s clean sheet ended a run of 11 straight Champions League matches in which they’ve conceded, dating back to last season’s semi-final against Manchester City. Zinedine Zidane’s side posted clean sheets in both legs of that tie, en route to a 1-0 aggregate win and a final date with Atletico that saw them win their 11th Champions League title....

Ronaldo used the interview to break his silence about his situation at Manchester United and it led to the club terminating his contract. He is now officially a free agent in search of a new club. The 37-year-old had previously been eager to leave Old Trafford over the summer, but was unable to secure an exit and he struggled to form a good relationship with United’s new manager Erik ten Hag....

His age also unfortunately means that the 2018 World Cup will likely be the last appearance at the international tournament in his prime athletic years. While he’s found success at the international level, Portugal won the 2016 Euros, the World Cup’s golden trophy is one of the biggest absences in his cabinet. All eyes will be on the world’s most famous player as he tries to capture it for likely the final time....

’Messi ahead of great Ronaldo’ The Portuguese superstar opened the scoring after 10 minutes with his 367th league goal to take him past former England international Jimmy Greaves. Ronaldo collected a pass from Isco on the edge of the area before rifling a left-footed shot inside the post to set another personal landmark. At the weekend, Ronaldo’s first goal against Sevilla took him to 400 goals for Madrid and his second in that game drew him level with Greaves on the all-time list for league goals....

Additionally, the prolific attacker played an integral part in the Santiago Bernabeu side’s Copa del Rey win by netting three goals in six appearances, even if he missed the final against Barcelona due to injury....

The two heavyweights of Group D meet on Thursday, with Argentina having drawn 1-1 with Iceland in their opener and Croatia beating Nigeria 2-0. Neither game will be remembered as a classic encounter, but a win for Kovacic’s side against Argentina could potentially see them through to the knockout stages as group winners. That would be something of a shock given the pre-tournament billing given to Argentina, in particular Barcelona’s talisman Lionel Messi....

The third place game — or bronze medal match — pits the two losing semifinal sides against each other after missing out on the final. Croatia vs Morocco LIVE: World Cup score, highlights, result from 2022 third place match It remains one of the odd quirks of a FIFA World Cup schedule and Zlatko Dalic and Walid Regragui are expected to give their squad players a run out in Al Rayyan....

Roberto Martinez’s side laboured to a 1-0 win in their tournament opener against Canada before being overwhelmed in a 2-0 defeat to Morocco. If Canada shock Morocco, Belgium can still progress with a draw depending on the goal difference equation, although they realistically need a win. Croatia returned to their swaggering best in a 4-1 win from behind against Canada and, with four points from their two matches, can progress with a draw....

Crouch became the first player in Premier League history to score 50 headed goals when he netted Stoke’s winner in a 1-0 victory at Southampton, and after the final whistle he made a beeline for the stands.

On Wednesday, the high court will hear arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case seeking to revive a 2018 Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The stakes are high as Mississippi is asking the court to use the case to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that established a nationwide right to terminate a pregnancy. The arguments can be heard live on the Supreme Court’s website, starting at 10 a....

Man Utd sign teenage Gundogan The Premier League’s finest had topped the standings at the end of deadline day in England, on January 31, with £222.32m (€261.55m) having been spent on new talent. However, the CSL window remained open until Tuesday, February 28, allowing China’s top teams to surge clear thanks to a succession of high-profile deals. The CSL announced itself as football’s newest financial superpower 12 months ago with a stunning outlay of £292....

That had to be a strange sensation. The 32-year-old Sánchez’s fearlessly critical blog, Generación Y, has won rapt attention from Cuba watchers in recent months, making her an unofficial spokesperson for the island’s young people. While the party newspaper, Granma, devotes its front page to ponderous “reflections” by the ailing, 81-year-old Castro on climate change, Sánchez writes stinging accounts of daily ordeals in Cuba—like the food shortages at her 12-year-old son’s school, or the obstacles facing a young couple who want a place of their own instead of a room with their parents....

Thousands of Cubans are protesting against the nation’s Communist government amid a major economic crisis in one of the largest demonstrations in decades. Citizens are taking to the streets in areas such as the capital of Havana to protest food shortages and high prices as COVID-19 cases surge, the Associated Press reported. Díaz-Canel said “the campaign against Cuba was growing on social media in the last weeks.” “As if pandemic outbreaks had not existed all over the world, the Cuban-American mafia, paying very well on social networks to influencers and YouTubers, has created a whole campaign…and has called for demonstrations across the country,” Díaz-Canel told reporters....
