Part of the problem lies with the man himself. Hussein Kamel was so closely identified with Saddam – whether building weapons of mass destruction before the gulf war or brutally crushing the uprisings afterward – that few of Saddam’s old enemies feel comfortable supporting him. “He thought everyone would rally around and say, ‘Here’s your white horse’,” said one State Department official. Nothing of the sort happened. “That doesn’t mean he’s not useful,” says the source, “it just means the starring role is not his....

He told Kurdish Rudaw media that France and Britain ignored their calls for help....

Chances were few and far between at both ends. The Tartan Army saw a goalward effort cleared off the line by Reece James, while Harry Kane headed just inches wide off target. Being the world’s oldest derby, expectations from the game were high. However, the game failed to live up to its pre-match billing, as it turned out to be a drab encounter in the capital. The draw blows Group D wide open as Gareth Southgate’s team now trail the Czech Republic on goal-difference ahead of their clash on matchday three, as the latter held Croatia earlier in the day....

But Sri Lanka are expected to prove much tougher opposition when a three-Test series begins next month, England’s first for 12 years without their retired opening rock Alastair Cook. The world’s number one ranked 50-over side, England are favourites despite a historically poor record on the island. England beat India 2-1 in July to record their eighth consecutive bilateral ODI series win with just a loss in a one-off match against Scotland tarnishing their record over the past 18 months....

On an unlikely Oval green-top, sporting live damp grass, Alastair Cook won the toss and put the Indians in. With the rain the previous week, the previous night and then some in the morning, the conditions couldn’t have been more testing. The square resembled a village green ready for a Saturday fixture of the local league early in the season. England retained an unchanged side, walked in confidently, knowing they had a real chance to push India into a corner early....

India are now 240/7 at Lunch courtesy a valiant fight put in by two players who were drafted into the XI for the first time this tour. Ravindra Jadeja and Hanuma Vihari walked in at the crease with the conditions at Oval still swing-friendly but they showed great temperament in countering spells of both Anderson and Broad. The English swing stalwarts moved the ball both the ways but couldn’t reap any rewards for both Jadeja and Vihari had put a big value on their wicket....

There are some things which India did differently from the first two matches. Here we bring you three of them: #1.

There were several players from both sides who had a memorable outing in the ODIs while there were others who didn’t quite get going either with the bat or with the ball. Here are the hits and misses from the series: Joe Root The mainstay of the England batting unit roared back to form after a poor start at Trent Bridge, scoring back-to-back hundreds at Lord’s and Headingley to help his side win the series....

The last time England peaked in the one-day game was during the heyday of Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen, and co., led by a spirited Michael Vaughan. Following a superior run in 2004-05, pickings have been thin for the England team. The present team, however, appears to be liberated like never before, right from the front-leg-clearing openers to the bowlers for whom the 50 overs format seems to be well suited....

Just a couple of hours after Smith was named one of the 12 running backs of all-time in the National Football League, his son, E.J.

According to an Internal Affairs investigation, authorities were never able to locate 28,352 rounds for .38-caliber revolvers brought to the department’s Central Armory in 2017 and set for disposal, according to the Democrat-Gazette.

A lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday claimed that Aurora Pro Services, a home repair company based in Greensboro, North Carolina, required all employees to attend daily Christian prayer meetings from at least June 2020. The company owner led these sessions, which included “Bible readings, Christian devotionals, and solicitation of prayer requests from employees,” according to the EEOC’s complaint. At times, prayers were requested for “poor performing employees who were identified by name....
