Russia is tightly bound to President Donald Trump’s political career, having meddled in the 2016 presidential election to undermine his opponent Hillary Clinton. Allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin have loomed over Trump’s time in office, magnified by the president’s apparent personal affinity for President Vladimir Putin. Biden has characterized Russia as the greatest international threat to the U.S., and repeatedly admonished Trump for being too soft on Putin....

Moses’ sending-off proved pivotal as Antonio Conte’s side lost steam to mount a comeback against the Gunners, despite Diego Costa hauling the 10-man Blues level. Pogba makes pilgrimage to Mecca The 26-year-old has enjoyed a great season under the Italian coach as he emerged as his chief right wing-back after two years away from the club on loan at Liverpool, West Ham United and Stoke City. Outgoing Chelsea captain John Terry revealed that the dressing room tried to pick the Nigeria international up after his dismissal on Saturday....

Diego Costa’s 10th league goal of the season at the Riverside Stadium gave Antonio Conte’s side a sixth top-flight win in a row and took it a point clear of Liverpool and Manchester City in the standings. And Moses, who was named man-of-the-match as he continued his exceptional run of form, is determined to stay ahead of the chasing pack between now and next May. “The Premier League is harder every season, so we just want to make sure we stay on top now,” he told Sky Sports....

A poll released Tuesday by Morning Consult and Politico found that 53 percent of respondents would choose Trump as the GOP nominee in the next election. Vice President Mike Pence was a distant second choice with 12 percent support, while the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., was the third favorite at 8 percent. Other names appearing in the survey were even further away from the pack. Sen. Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, was tied at 4 percent with both Sen....

A Yahoo News/YouGov poll published on Wednesday found that 52 percent of Democrats favor Congress “investigating the classified documents found at Biden’s home and post-vice-presidential office.” Special Counsel Robert Hur has been appointed to investigate the matter after classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president were discovered in his former office at the Penn Biden Center, a think tank in Washington, D.C.

According to police, Libby Adame, 51, and her daughter, 23-year-old Alicia Gomez, had been illegally performing buttock augmentations from a private residence in Encino, California. They recruited clients through Instagram and had been performing these surgeries for years, police said. Buttock augmentations, more popularly known as Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), have seen a rapid rise in popularity the past several years—but the notoriously problematic surgeries, which typically transfer fat from one part of the body to the buttock via injection, are known for their relatively high rates of complication and death....

The behavior, which is highly unusual for reptiles, was observed in southeastern Australia’s Snowy Mountains by husband-and-wife research team Greg Watson and Jolanta Watson from the University of the Sunshine Coast. Using cameras and thermal imaging, the pair documented a mother lizard of the species Egernia cunninghami—better known as Cunningham’s skink—aggressively attacking an eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis) by biting the serpent and remaining attached to it for several seconds before releasing her grip....

Ibrahimovic sat out Tuesday’s first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final against Hull City at Old Trafford, where second-half goals from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini secured a 2-0 win for United. Mourinho takes swipe at Man Utd fans Veteran striker Ibrahimovic, who has 18 goals in 28 games across all competitions this season, was laid low through illness, although Mourinho does not foresee this being an issue when he attempts to take a chunk out of the five-point gap between Jurgen Klopp’s second-place side and his own men in sixth on Sunday....

Ahead of Saturday’s derby Pep Guardiola claimed Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, had given City the chance to take the Frenchman – alongside Henrikh Mkhitaryan – during the January transfer window . The claims come at a time in which Pogba is reportedly unsettled at Old Trafford, amid rumours he could leave United in the summer for Real Madrid. The France international, however, was given a starting role by Mourinho for Saturday’s Manchester derby, where a win for City would seal the Premier League title....

Mourinho right to play reserves Second-half goals in the space of three minutes from Granit Xhaka and United old boy Danny Welbeck condemned United to a first defeat in 26 Premier League games. The result left United in fifth spot, four points behind local rivals Manchester City, with just three games to play and Mourinho has written off his side’s prospects of qualifying for the Champions League via the domestic route....

The duo were rested in Saturday’s FA Cup win over Reading and reports suggested they could also miss the game against Hull with an eye on next week’s Premier League match versus rivals Liverpool. Mou: Rooney’s best day yet to come Nevertheless, Mourinho has stressed both Pogba and Ibrahimovic will feature in Tuesday’s first leg at Old Trafford. “I will play with the players that did not play against Reading,” Mourinho told reporters when asked about his line-up against Hull....

Poor starts by United this season against Crystal Palace, Manchester City, Tottenham and even Chelsea turned out to be only the platform from which spectacular comeback wins would be recorded. But Mourinho couldn’t coax another out of his side in Saturday’s showpiece as his decision to focus more on stopping Chelsea than unleashing his own players left United chasing shadows for the majority of the first half. There was little cohesion about their play, and by the time they released the shackles somewhat after half-time they had given Chelsea all the head start they needed to see out the game....

The Ivory Coast international clashed with the Middlesbrough striker in the second half of the meeting at the Riverside Stadium, with the two exchanging shoves before Gestede puts his face to Bailly’s neck area. Fellaini & Lingard silence haters While former Aston Villa forward Gestede clearly makes no contact on Bailly with his mouth, United fans on social media have still asked the question and whether that was what he was initially intending....
