The conservative House Freedom Caucus sent a letter to Republican leadership Monday morning laying out eight legislative priorities before the party loses control of Congress. The letter, addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), calls for the passage of a third reconciliation bill, a permitting reform bill, to […]

After three straight defeats, City’s manager says he will use the international break to reassess. Their problems may go beyond tactics Sign up for our free newsletter here Enzo Maresca seemed, if not quite baffled by his side’s Saturday defeat to Nottingham Forest, then at least a little put out. After seven straight wins from the start of the season, that’s now three straight defeats, a pattern so unusual that it’s been recorded only once before in top-flight English history, by Sheffield Wednesday in 1904-05. The three defeats were all different, Maresca said, although in all of them City had had more possession and more chances. In the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa two weeks ago, City had 63% of the ball and had 15 chances to Villa’s eight. In the 1-0 home defeat to Brighton last weekend, they had 62% possession and 21 chances to seven. At the City Ground, it was 79% possession and 12 chances to 11. So Maresca is right in one way: City could look at basic statistics and say they had been unfortunate – although Forest could equally point to the fact that they went into that game third top of the expected goals table but second-bottom of the actual table.

Midfielder’s spectacular strikes rescued a frustrating day, only for celebrations to reignite dialogue that has followed him through his career It was just what they needed at just the right time. For a tricky first half and beyond, Elversberg had been a stone in Borussia Dortmund’s shoe, the promoted side not just keeping the home team at bay but keeping them honest, nourishing ambitions of their own. “The fatigue was clearly visible,” said the sporting director, Ole Book, to Sky after a week which had contained Der Klassiker in Munich and a hard-fought Champions League victory over Betis. “We were a bit too focused on managing the game, which was understandable.” Enter Felix Nmecha. BVB have enjoyed a largely excellent start to the season, are unbeaten and level on points with Bayern Munich at the top; Bayern lead, unsurprisingly, thanks to their superior goal difference. It is a gap which has been widened by Dortmund being far from prolific, a facet which looked as if it might undercut their efforts to roll over their visitors on Saturday, especially in the absence of the injured centre-forward Serhou Guirassy.

Pierre Sage led Lens to second and glory in the Coupe de France last season. A lot has changed in the last six months The Lens striker, Florian Sotoca, was completely motionless as he looked into the middle space from the bench. The game, finely poised at 2-1 with a few minutes remaining, was not beyond his side, but that is not the story his troubled face told. Marseille had just restored their lead thanks to a goal from substitute Keyliane Abdallah. Bruno Génésio’s men would go on to take all three points and continue their unlikely charge up the table, but the atmosphere at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis was morose before Marseille had even stepped on the pitch. The match did little to lift the mood at the end of a week in which Lens made unwanted history. Continue reading...

The City striker hit a WSL hat-trick for the ninth time while Eva Olid’s United have found defensive stability Not only did Khadija “Bunny” Shaw score a record-extending ninth WSL hat-trick, she scored a “perfect hat-trick” for the fourth time in the competition, something nobody else has managed more than once. Against West Ham the Jamaica striker opened the scoring with her left foot, headed home her second off the underside of the crossbar and tucked in her third with her right foot late on. It helped her side towards a 5-0 win that opened up a two-point gap at the top of the table and stretched Shaw’s lead in the race to be the top division’s top scorer to a five-goal advantage over her nearest challenger, Océane Hurtré. Can anybody stop her relentless pursuit of another Golden Boot? It would appear not. Tom Garry Match report: Liverpool 1-2 Arsenal Continue reading...

Efforts to fight climate change, conserve nature and build clean energy have long unfolded on competing tracks. Now, they're colliding — and exposing tough trade-offs for environmentalists. Why it matters: Congress' sweeping permitting debate is forcing those competing priorities into the same conversation, with major consequences for climate action and conservation. Driving the news: The Senate is set to hold an initial procedural vote Monday on a sprawling bipartisan bill that would make it easier to build power lines and energy projects of all kinds, including clean energy and fossil fuels. At the heart of the debate is how much public scrutiny projects should face before they're approved — and how much protection those approvals should receive afterward. Supporters say the current system takes too long, delaying clean energy and other infrastructure. Opponents warn that speeding things up could come at the expense of wildlife, public lands and tribal rights. Between the lines: The dilemma reflects a fundamental tension within the environmental movement: Building the infrastructure needed to combat climate change can threaten nature, while protecting nature can complicate efforts to build that infrastructure. Wind and solar farms, for example, can require large expanses of land, potentially disrupting wildlife habitats even as they help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. "The part of my organization that cares about climate sees great opportunity and the part that cares about nature sees some dangers," said a leader of one organization that focuses on both causes, speaking anonymously to discuss the proposal candidly. The big picture: Both parties broadly agree Washington needs to overhaul federal permitting, a perennial goal that has eluded Congress for years. The question is what reforms can attract enough support to pass both chambers. The bill's bipartisan sponsors and the White House want action before year's end. But some Democrats, emboldened by their midter

The latest in our ongoing series of writers highlighting their go-to comfort films is a reminder of the dark joys that can be found in David Fincher’s devilish thriller “When I think of my wife, I always think of the back of her head,” narrates Ben Affleck in the opening scene of Gone Girl , David Fincher’s 2014 adaptation of the bestselling thriller novel. “I picture cracking her lovely skull, unspooling her brains, trying to get answers to the primal questions of any marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other?” From the outset, Gone Girl probably sounds like quite an odd choice for a feelgood movie. The film follows Nick (Affleck) and Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike), whose once-picture-perfect marriage has become a humiliatingly predictable tale of resentment and infidelity – and when Amy suddenly disappears in suspicious circumstances, it only gets more disturbing. But I find myself being drawn to this film every year when the days start to shorten. There is a strange catharsis (and comfort) in watching a scorned woman get her revenge, one meticulously planned move at a time. Continue reading...
Former Manchester United and Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin has urged Old Trafford chiefs to stick with under-fire manager Michael Carrick following Sunday's thrilling 4-4 Premier League stalemate.

Disgraced comedian was convicted last week and was warned he faces a ‘signficant’ prison term The jury of eight men and four women deliberated for more than eight hours last week to return a unanimous verdict where they found Brand guilty on four of the seven charges. He was found guilty of one count of rape and three incidents of sexual assault. He was acquitted of two rape counts and one attempted incident. He was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman at a colleague’s birthday party in a bar in Soho, London in 2004, but found not guilty of orally raping her in a bathroom. He was found guilty of kissing and groping another woman at a London radio station in 2004 or 2005 He was convicted of anally raping a fan at his home after meeting her backstage at one of his comedy shows in 2009 He was found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman who says the comedian demanded a massage and pressed his face into her groin during an advert recording in 2009.

How did a Uruguayan medic who grew up under an anti-music dictatorship win a best song Academy award? As he looks set to scoop up more prizes at the Latin Grammys, we meet the extraordinary Jorge Drexler It makes sense that a Uruguayan doctor turned singer would write a song that begins: “Long live science! Long live poetry!” Guitar y Vos (Guitar and You) is also the first track that Jorge Drexler performs this afternoon at a music industry event in the basement of Madrid’s Movistar arena. The second is El Otro Lado del Rio (The Other Side of the River), which he composed for the Che Guevara road movie The Motorcycle Diaries. Drexler was still largely unknown when it won the best original song Oscar in 2005, so was not invited to perform at the ceremony. In a classy act of defiance, he delivered a short a cappella version in lieu of an acceptance speech. That’s how he sings it today too, solo under a spotlight on the stairs, before joining his band on stage. Backed by three drummers playing in the Afro-Uruguayan candombe style, Drexler turns a corporate lunchtime gig into a midnight block party. From his latest album Taracá – nominated for eight Latin Grammys at the forthcoming awards on 12 November – comes Ante la Duda, Baila (When in Doubt, Dance). While his lyrics list Spanish kings and colonial governments who have banned various forms of dancing over the centuries, the singer duly shakes his ass and moves us to do the same.
