In a letter Tuesday notifying lawmakers of Durham’s appointment, Barr said that he originally intended for Durham to complete his report this summer but that it had been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. He named Durham special counsel in October “to provide him and his team with the assurance that they could complete their work, without regard to the outcome of the election.” Barr’s order gave few details about the ongoing probe, stating that it focuses on potential crimes by federal officials or others who might have violated the law “in connection with the intelligence, counter-intelligence, or law enforcement activities directed at the 2016 presidential campaigns” as well as the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane operation and the investigation of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller....

In a viral video posted to Facebook over Father’s Day weekend, on June 21, a man at Delaware’s Cape Henlopen State Park Beach can be seen with his arms wrapped around a shark in what looks to be fairly shallow water. While the man in the video is unknown, the woman who filmed and posted the video is named Rachael Foster. In an update to her original post, she wrote that a friend of the man in the video hooked a shark while fishing, and the man was helping to remove the hook and later took the shark to deeper water and released it....

But it sure doesn’t feel like peace to many people who live there. The violence and mercilessness that the two sides have long shown each other continues. That raises serious questions about the peace plan’s viability. A partial list of the dirty tricks of both sides: Palestinian gunmen who oppose the peace accord have fired on Israeli soldiers at least 10 times since the signing. Six grenades were thrown at Israeli units in the second half of September–two more than were recorded in all of August....

Since its founding in 2018 by two men based in Henderson, Nevada—John Matze and Jared Thomson—the platform is now attracting a variety of right-wing commentators, politicians and Donald Trump supporters, while also providing a safe haven for anyone too extreme, racist or offensive for Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Like Gab before it, Parler is filled with the posts of those who have been removed or suspended from mainstream social platforms for violating their guidelines....

With a new season comes a new school term…and some fresh faces on campus. Among them is Moordale High’s new headteacher Hope (Jemima Kirke), who is determined to change its reputation as “Sex School”, and Cal Bowman (Dua Saleh), an American student whose parents moved them to the U.K.. While Headmistress Hope promises to revive the school’s integrity and be a cooler principal than Mr Groff (Alistair Petrie), it soon becomes apparent that in her quest to quash any negative headlines associated with the school, she ruthlessly sacrifices the fundamental rights of her students to achieve the desired result....

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, no fans will be in attendance when the Raiders host the Saints for their first home game after relocating from Las Vegas in the offseason. That’s bad news for the Raiders in terms of their lack of a home-field advantage, but at least TV viewers will get a look at the masterpiece of a stadium Monday night.

MORE: Packers vs. Eagles live updates and highlights On one hand is Philadelphia, a team that has an NFL-best 9-1 record and is squarely atop the NFC playoff standings.

This week, we’re getting an interconference matchup between an AFC North and NFC North team. Both are in the thick of the Wild Card races. The AFC North team, the Steelers, is closer to getting in than the NFC North team, the Vikings. Pittsburgh is coming off a 20-19 win over the Ravens during which they came from behind to surprisingly beat their divisional rival. Rumors about Ben Roethlisberger’s future are starting to swirl, but he is focused on taking things “one game at a time” moving forward....

Nazem Kadri’s overtime winner in Game 4 has pushed the Lightning to the brink of elimination, as the Avalanche own a 3-1 series lead. It’s been a sensational run in the playoffs so far, and the Avalanche have the chance to cap it off in Denver. If the Avs pull out a win, not only will the Stanley Cup be handed out, but so will the Conn Smythe Trophy rewarding the NHL playoff MVP....

On Sunday, Cuomo was called “Fredo,” during a confrontation with a heckler, a name that the CNN host characterized as an “Italian aspersion,” and equated to the N-word. He reiterated that it was an insult to Italian people and threatened to throw the heckler down the stairs. While some criticized Cuomo for the behavior and relating being called “Fredo” to the N-word, his network, and Fox News’ Sean Hannity defended the CNN host....

She was born María Joaquina de la Portilla Torres in León, central Mexico, in the late 19th century. Her mother was Mexican and her father was Spanish and, as a child, she moved to Seville, Spain, where she studied English, French and music. Grever’s musical talent became apparent early on. She is said to have composed a holiday carol for her school at the age of four, according to The New York Times, an achievement that persuaded her father to hire composers Claude Debussy and Franz Lehár to tutor her....

There had already been a major schedule shake-up to the ABC ballroom competition this week after it was confirmed there would be two episodes: one on Monday, October 17, and the other on Tuesday, October 18. The surprises didn’t stop there as one of the couples announced they were stepping down from the show during the latest episode, which streamed on Disney+. The overall theme for Dancing With the Stars this week is “Stars’ Stories Week,” and Monday’s specific theme was “Most Memorable Year....

The hour-long televised debate at Oakland University kicked off with a question about abortion, a topic that has dominated the race since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June. Whitmer, who’s seeking re-election after her first term in office, has made abortion rights the focus of her campaign and pledged her support for Proposal 3—a citizen-initiative measure placed on the November ballot which would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution....

Mbappe and Lionel Messi battled out arguably the greatest World Cup final of all time, as Messi’s two goals were upstaged by Mbappe’s incredible hat trick in Lusail. However, despite Mbappe’s game-changing moments, he ended up on the losing side, as Messi lifted the World Cup for the first time. As Messi departs the World Cup stage, the 23-year-old Mbappe’s eight goals in Qatar underlined his potential as the 35-year-old Messi’s successor, as the PSG speedster became the first player since 1966 to score three World Cup final goals....

Sanders’ campaign has momentum, money and an extensive volunteer operation across multiple states. He earned center stage tonight and fended off heated attacks from all directions. The two-hour debate was chaotic. With the moderators unable to keep the candidates to their speaking times, unable to stop them from speaking over each other and unable to keep control of the conversation, they are the clear losers tonight. The exchanges that took place were fiery, however, nothing that was said will likely change the dynamics of the race, a situation that will benefit frontrunner Sanders....

Mnuchin was hopeful the two sides of the table could reach an agreement on every provision in a forthcoming plan, but they failed to strike a deal after a lengthy meeting on Wednesday. House Democrats planned to pass a $2.2 trillion package—which would likely fail in the Senate—but held off voting on it until at least Thursday to give a bipartisan plan that could pass both chambers another shot....

Diab also mentioned that recovering from delivery has been a journey that she was not going to share anything about as it is very personal to them.

The radio and TV host continued: Nessa ended the post by thanking everyone for their support....

This is the fourth of six articles analysing six cryptic videos that have aired over the past few weeks, leading up to the return of a WWE superstar on January 2nd, 2012. We’ve been pondering over ‘It Begins’, ‘Second’ and ‘Look Within’ for the past three days, still without substantial claim to vouch for a superstar’s return in 2 days.

The 77-year-old Massachusetts native has long been at the forefront among NFL owners, whether supporting commissioner Roger Goodell in various endeavours or clashing with him amid controversy over accusations of his team cheating via deflated footballs. Kraft was in the headlines again on Friday when police in Jupiter, Florida, charged him with two misdemeanour counts of soliciting prostitution as part of a wide-ranging probe into a massage parlour targeted in a human trafficking investigation....
