1 month ago Gulf Daily News

THE Premier League title race took another twist yesterday as Arsenal climbed back to the top of the standings with a 4-2 win at Aston Villa while champions Manchester City slipped up at Nottingham Forest. Despite dominating the match, City conceded a late equaliser at Forest to draw 1-1 and now trail Arsenal by two points having played one game more. Arsenal reinvigorated their push for a first Premier League title in two decades with two stoppage-time goals giving them a thrilling win at Villa Park. “If you want to be at the top, you are going to have to win games in many different ways,” coach Mikel Arteta said. Chelsea had 17 attempts at goal, five on target, their highest shot tally without scoring at home in the Premier League since May 2021.

World News: Boris Johnson arrives back in Britain to attempt rapid political comeback

Boris Johnson arrived back in Britain on Saturday as he considers an audacious attempt to win a second term as prime minister only weeks after he was forced to step down, with some colleagues warning his comeback could create more political chaos. He has received the support of dozens of Conservative lawmakers, but needs to secure 100 nominations to be considered. For some Conservative lawmakers, Johnson is a vote winner, able to appeal across the country not only with his celebrity but also with his brand of energetic optimism. Dominic Raab, a foreign minister under Johnson, said the party risked going "backwards" if he returned. The contest to become Britain's fourth prime minister in four years has been accelerated to take only a week.

Football: GUNNERS ON TOP!: Arsenal closed out 2022 with a 4-2 win over Brighton

ARSENAL closed out 2022 with a 4-2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion yesterday that gives them a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League after title rivals Manchester City and Newcastle United both dropped points. The victory leaves Arsenal in pole position on 43 points from 16 games with champions City on 36, Newcastle on 34 from 17 and Manchester United on 32 from 16. Newcastle United also dropped home points as a 0-0 stalemate with Leeds United deprived Eddie Howe’s side of a seventh successive league win. Newcastle’s Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes wore a yellow shirt with the number 10 on the back during a minute’s applause for compatriot Pele who died on Thursday as the Premier League paid tribute to the iconic player. But he was unable to inspire his side to a victory against a resolute Leeds side who hung on for a point.

World News: IN PICTURES: World rings in New Year with dazzling fireworks display

Sydney, one of the world’s first major cities to welcome in the New Year, did so with a typically dazzling fireworks display, which for the first time featured a rainbow waterfall off the famous Harbour Bridge. However, curbs on celebrations were lifted this year after Australia, like many countries around the world, re-opened its borders and removed social distancing restrictions. The display in Sydney featured thousands of fireworks launched from the four sails of the Sydney Opera House and from the Harbour Bridge. Days after Hong Kong lifted limits on group gatherings, tens of thousands of people gathered near the city’s Victoria Harbour for a countdown. Celebrations at the country’s famous Petronas Twin Towers were pared down with no performances or fireworks.

World News: China's Covid cases overwhelm hospitals

Bernstein's account reflects similar testimony from medical staff across China who are scrambling to cope after China's abrupt U-turn on its previously strict Covid policies this month was followed by a nationwide wave of infections. In the past month, Bernstein went from never having treated a Covid patient to seeing dozens a day. Elsewhere in China, medical staff told Reuters that resources are already stretched to the breaking point in some cases, as Covid and sickness levels amongst staff have been particularly high. The National Health Commission did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the concerns raised by medical staff in this article. "If they're dying now with Covid it's because of Covid.

World News: China defends its Covid response after WHO, Biden concerns

China reported one new Covid death in the mainland for Wednesday, compared with five a day earlier, bringing its official death toll to 5,259. DATA GAPSWith one of the lowest official Covid death tolls in the world, China has been routinely accused of under-reporting for political reasons. In December, the WHO said it had received no data from China on new Covid hospitalisations since Beijing's policy U-turn. Methods for counting Covid deaths have varied across countries since the pandemic erupted in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019. British-based health data firm Airfinity has estimated about 9,000 people in China are probably dying each day from COVID.

World News: US and Japan agree to step up security co-operation amid China worries

WASHINGTON: The United States and Japan on Wednesday announced stepped-up security cooperation in the face of shared worries about China, and Washington strongly endorsed a major military buildup Tokyo announced last month. Austin is to meet Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada again on Thursday at the Pentagon ahead of a meeting between US President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday. "We applaud the commitment to increase investment, to enhanced roles, missions and capabilities ... to closer cooperation not only between the United States and Japan but as well with other allies and other partners," he said. Japan hosts 18,000 US Marines, the biggest concentration outside the United States. The large US presence has fueled local resentment, with Okinawa's government asking other parts of Japan to host some of the force.

World News: UK's Sunak shuffles cabinet to bolster pledges on economy

LONDON: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reshuffled his cabinet on Tuesday, breaking up two departments to better suit his pledges to spur the economy, reduce energy prices and turn around his party's fortunes before an election expected next year. "The government needs to reflect the priorities of the British people and be designed to deliver for them," Sunak said on Twitter.

World News: Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak lead race to become Britain's next prime minister

LONDON: Boris Johnson and former finance minister Rishi Sunak were leading the potential contenders to replace British Prime Minister Liz Truss on Friday, with candidates canvassing support to become Conservative Party leader in a fast-tracked contest. In what would be an extraordinary comeback, Johnson, who was ousted by lawmakers just over three months ago, was running high up the ranks alongside Sunak to be crowned the next prime minister. "Boris Johnson is the character the Labour Party fears, Boris Johnson can win the next general election," he said. But Will Walden, who also worked for Johnson, told Sky News the former prime minister was returning from holiday and was taking soundings. Running in third is Penny Mordaunt, a former defence minister popular with Conservative Party members.
