Feb. 03, 2018 Barcelona have a narrow lead going into next week's Copa del Rey semifinal second leg after they beat Valencia 1-0 at Camp Nou on Thursday. Luis Suarez scored the only goal of the game in the second half, heading home Lionel Messi's cross at the far post. Positives Ernesto Valverde spoke of the need to keep a clean sheet in his pregame news conference, and the fact that Valencia failed to register an away goal will have pleased him. It means that if Barca can score at the Mestalla next Thursday, Valencia will have to score three to reach the final. Samuel Umtiti was another big plus. The centre-back has been feeling his way back into action following a hamstring injury, but his performance was exceptional. Negatives Barca were good, but they were not good enough in the final third. They completed 438 passes in the first half (and had 79 percent possession) but failed to find the back of the net. It was a similar story in the second half, and they will ...

JC News | Feb. 02, 2018 (Reuters) - Carmakers that try to cheat vehicle emissions tests could face unlimited fines and criminal charges under proposals set out on Thursday by the British government. The announcement is aimed at addressing criticism that the government was toothless in dealing with Volkswagen after a scandal that affected 1.2 million cars in Britain. The German carmaker admitted in 2015 to using software to cheat diesel emission tests in the United States and has since paid out compensation to U.S. motorists, but has refused to do so in Europe, arguing the software was not illegal there. "We continue to take the unacceptable actions of Volkswagen extremely seriously, and we are framing new measures to crack down on emissions cheats in future," said junior transport minister Jesse Norman in a statement. “Those who cheat should be held to proper account in this country, legally and financially, for their actions.” Under the proposals, companies could f...

The find allowed the researchers to map the outlines of what they describe as dozens of newly discovered Maya cities hidden under thick jungle foliage centuries after they were abandoned by their original inhabitants, according to a statement issued on Thursday by Guatemala's PACUNAM foundation.

An Arizona man was once considered a "person of interest" in the Oct. 1 Las Vegas shooting because his name was found on a box of ammunition inside the gunman's hotel room, a law enforcement official said this week. But now authorities believe Douglas Haig, of Mesa, had no involvement in or knowledge of gunman Stephen Paddock's rampage that left 58 people dead, said the official, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Information on why authorities considered Haig a person of interest was not disclosed in the documents. ...

The bureau's public call for the White House to halt publication of a Republican memo condemning its conduct in the Russia investigation puts FBI Director Christopher Wray in open conflict with the President -- and his job on the line. The statement expressing "grave concerns" about the release of the memo, possibly as soon as Thursday, was more significant than the usual wrangling inside the US government over the release of intelligence material. It represented a strong statement of independence from Wray, and a firm defense of his bureau that comes at the risk of infuriating the President, who has a record of demanding personal loyalty from top intelligence officials. "He is putting his job before loyalty to the President," former US Attorney Preet Bharara told CNN, outlining a scenario t...
