“Today it is Pakistan, tomorrow it could be another country,” Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Munir Akram, told Newsweek, “so we all need to act in solidarity and find collective ways of how to address this existential threat.” While much has been said by nations regarding combating climate change, and commitments have even been made at the national and multilateral levels, Akram said that now “we need action....

Netanyahu is the country’s longest-serving leader, having held the office for more than 13 years. This year though, has been a tumultuous one for “Bibi,” as he is colloquially known. Two inconclusive elections have left Israel in limbo, with neither Netanyahu nor main rival Benny Gantz able to form a coalition government. Netanyahu’s domestic travails come in spite of unprecedented support from the U.S., spearheaded by President Donald Trump. Washington has unquestionably stood behind Israel on thorny issues like Iran, the Gaza Strip and Israel’s illegal settlements in the Palestinian West Bank....

The £52 million Colombian striker netted a brace in the second half as Spurs conceded four goals, having only been 1-0 down at the half-time. A painful evening for Andre Villas-Boas got worse when Jermain Defoe pulled out after just 10 minutes with a hamstring injury. The England international was replaced by Harry Kane. The first goal of the match came via an error from Hugo Lloris who fumbled Andrea Raggi’s volley which bounced and then went in at the France captain’s near post....

The news comes on the heels of California Governor Gavin Newsom’s annual State of the State address, during which the Democrat projected optimism about his state’s recovery and encouraged residents to remain patient as the COVID-19 vaccination rollout continues. Dee Dee Myers, the director of the governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, celebrated the promising economic predictions in a statement shared with Newsweek. The forecast “reiterates the strengths of California’s economy and a reason for us to have optimism as we emerge from the pandemic,” Myers said....

Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive, disappeared on her walk home from a friend’s South London residence on the evening of March 3. The search for the young woman garnered global attention, spurring countless testimonies by women on fears and experiences of harassment and assault while engaging in activities as simple as venturing outdoors. Across social media networks, women described bare-bones safety precautions they take while walking alone at nighttime. Many have faked phone calls to thwart potential attackers, avoided the use of earphones so as to be fully aware of their surroundings, and held keys so they stick out between their knuckles in case self-defense is necessary....

After a spat of unarmed clashes along his country’s roughly 2,100-mile with China last month, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke Tuesday with President Donald Trump on “the situation on the India-China border,” according to a readout. The U.S. leader had offered to mediate the feud, but both New Delhi and Beijing have rejected the offer and maintained the situation was under control. “At present, the overall situation in the China-India border areas is stable and controllable,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian told reporters in Beijing on Wednesday....

In case you didn’t know… Emery has been heavily reported to be working with a meager £45 million summer transfer budget after failing to inspire the Gunners to a Champions League return. The side finished at fifth place in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final to London rivals, Chelsea. A meeting with Arsenal owners in the United States last week has, however, appeared to work in the manager’s favor as the funds look to have increased significantly for the remaining days of the transfer window....

It would be Arteta’s third match as the Arsenal manager, and he would definitely look to earn at least a point from it. Arsenal squandered a 1-0 lead to concede two late goals against Chelsea last Sunday, and would try to put that heart-breaking defeat behind themselves. The improvement in their performance under the new manager was quite evident, but it can not be forgotten that they are at the 12th position in the league table with 24 points from 20 matches....

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his 50th Premier League, capitalising on a mistake by Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul. Arsenal dominated possession, with midfielder Dani Ceballos, in particular, having a good game. Midfielder Granit Xhaka scored the second goal for Arsenal off a fluid move that ended with the Swiss drilling a low shot past Krul into the bottom corner. Norwich’s chances in the first half were few and far between, with a searing 30-yard shot from centre-back Ben Godfrey hitting the post....

Premier League is all set to become the first league in the world where goal-line technology will be used. An inauguration ceremony was held at the Emirates Stadium to unveil the newly inducted technology. Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger though has raised eye-brows over the use of the technology. He has asked about the solution in a case where a player is fouled before the ball crosses the line. Referee Anthony Taylor told Wenger that a training day on Monday will be spent working through “anomalies like that....

The Frenchman, 67, signed a new two-year deal in May after winning the FA Cup. That ended a turbulent season that had seen intense pressure on Wenger as Arsenal missed out on a Champions League place for the first time in 20 years. And Wenger acknowledges the Gunners’ poor form did play a part in his thought process during his contract saga towards the end of 2016-17, where he repeatedly refused to reveal his intentions....

Arter’s footing seemed to slip as he ballooned his 77th-minute spot kick, awarded after Ryan Bertrand had fouled Ryan Fraser, high and not very handsome over Fraser Forster’s goal. Both sides hit the post, Dusan Tadic curling one for Southampton while Adam Smith’s low drive came desperately close for the visitors. Andrew Surman also had a chance cleared off the line by James Ward-Prowse as the two sides now stand locked on 34 points in mid-table....

*All stats are prior to Barcelona’s game against Rayo Vallecano last Saturday Barcelona paid Gremio €40 million to secure the services of Arthur. He probably was almost unknown to the common football fan but Arthur had already managed to make a name of his own prior to his arrival at Catalonia. In fact, the Brazilian was a key part of Gremio winning the Copa Libertadores and the Campeonato Gaucho....

There are plenty of suits to unlock in-game, but some fans have gone as far as to create their own suits, taking inspiration from the comic books or other Spider-Man suits. Mosheeno is one artist who takes inspiration from other popular franchises/characters to design special suits that give Spider-Man a completely new look. He’s been creating suits for the web crawler since the game’s launch, and he is still going strong with the latest ninja suit inspired by Mortal Kombat’s popular ninja....

Dani Ploeger traveled to Ukraine several times in recent years as tensions remained high in the country after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. A veteran activist and artist, he was no stranger to living in conflict zones and decided to try to reflect the “suspense” of war. Ploeger created the work called Line of Contact and used Virtual Reality (VR) technology to help bring attention to an “aspect of warfare” that is often not understood or even imagined, he told Newsweek....

It seems that players will not have to wait long as ARURF is set to arrive with League of Legends’ 12.2 patch update. However, the mode will be made available from January 26, 2022, instead of arriving on the day of the patch. This time, ARURF will also come with a few surprises. The developers are introducing a few changes to certain runes which are going to make the summoner’s rift in ARURF even more interesting....

ESPN first reported the suspension, without giving a reason. The NFL announced that it was for another substance-abuse violation. After his suspension in May, Alexander admitted he failed a drug test and apologized to the Panthers and their fans “for the effect of my mistake on the team.” The last game of his original suspension had been Sunday’s loss in Baltimore. He rejoined the team Monday, and his return was being hailed as a relief for a defense that will be missing defensive end Greg Hardy indefinitely while he awaits a jury trial on domestic-violence charges....
