Chelsea to launch legal complaint over Man City’s interest in former coach, Enzo Maresca

Image
  Chelsea are set to launch a legal complaint over Manchester City’s pursuit of former head coach Enzo Maresca, unless the Manchester club cough up some compensation.   Allegations were made against Maresca that he had spoken with City while still at Stamford Bridge, which left Chelsea officials furious.   Now, with Maresca primed to replace the outgoing Pep Guardiola, action may be taken if the two clubs cannot agree on compensation. If they don’t agree, Chelsea could complain to the Premier League, which would investigate the matter. Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali said at a sports congress: “The change wasn’t the club’s decision, for reasons I can’t speak about legally. I think the reasons will become kind of clear in due course. But no, it’s not a change we wanted to make.” He also conceded that the upheaval has disrupted performances on the pitch. “It’s a change that’s had a bit of a negative impact on the season, when you’re changing systems and personnel,” Eghbali ...

WHO chief concerned over 'scale and speed' of Ebola outbreak in Africa

Image
  The head of the World Health Organization has expressed concern over the "scale and speed" of an outbreak of a rare type of Ebola known as Bundibugyo in eastern Congo, where authorities reported 134 suspected deaths and more than 500 suspected cases. The virus spread undetected for weeks after the first known death as authorities tested for a more common type of Ebola and came up negative, health experts and aid workers said. The Bundibugyo virus has no approved medicines or vaccines. In Bunia, the site of the first known death, health workers in protective gear moved among residents wearing fabric masks.   “I know the consequences of Ebola, I know what it's like,” said a worried resident, NoĆ«la Lumo.   Congo was expecting shipments of an experimental vaccine for different types of Ebola, developed by researchers at Oxford, said Jean-Jacques Muyembe, a virus expert at the National Institute of Biomedical Research.   “We will administer the vaccine and see who devel...

U.S. government forever barred from examining Trump, his sons and the Trump organization's tax

Image
  The U.S. government will permanently drop tax claims against President Trump, according to a settlement document made public Tuesday, May 19, in an extraordinary use of executive power that could effectively help shield the president from further examination of his finances and legal conduct. As part of the settlement deal meant to resolve Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns, the U.S. is "forever barred and precluded" from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons and the Trump organization's current tax examinations, according to a one-page document posted to the Justice Department's website. The government is also barred from looking into Trump's family, affiliates and others, according to the document, which is signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. That document is a separate addendum from the original settlement announced Monday, and was quietly added to the Justice Department website...

Mikel Arteta has broken his silence after Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions.   The Gunners became champions for the first time in 22 years thanks to Manchester City drawing 1-1 away at Bournemouth on Tuesday.

I cannot be happier, prouder for everybody that is involved in this football club. Let's enjoy the moment." The club's most recent title-winning boss before Arteta, the iconic Arsene Wenger, said in the same film: "You did it. C...
