The measure came into place at 9 a.m. GMT Thursday, and reflected an “increased risk from a new strain of coronavirus” named 501.V2, according to a Department for Transport news release. Travelers who had passed through South Africa in the past 10 days were included in the ban. The news came as the U.K. tried to deal with a separate strain of the coronavirus, B.1.1.7, that is thought to be better at spreading than previous forms, and has triggered lockdowns in London, parts of the south east, and the east of England....

The Spain international has been at Old Trafford since 2014 and is tied to terms for another 12 months. He was named United’s Player of the Year in 2016-17, having been transformed into a dogged holding midfielder by Jose Mourinho. Added competition for places has restricted his game time in the current campaign, but he remains an important part of the Red Devils squad and they have moved to retain his services past 2019....

The Republican U.S. Senate candidate for Georgia said that he spent time with Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. while they were growing up and was responsible for their intelligence. Walker made these statements while speaking to civilian staff members and military personnel at the Joint Base Lewis-McChord in the state of Washington in 2019, before his leap into politics, according to a report by multimedia company Black Enterprise....

MORE: Spector: Nationals have had best drafts of the last 10 years | Harper tossed from game vs. Yankees “It’s just something to top off a good win,” said Ace Max Scherzer, via ESPN.com. “Chocolate sauce is the perfect topping for ice cream, so might as well top off a game and give that person in the on-the-field camera interview a little something to taste.” Scherzer started the tradition last month when Dan Uggla hit a three-run homer against the Braves in the top of the ninth inning to win the game, 13-12....

“This is why you come to Tennessee and want to be in this league,” he said to start his news conference. Was Heupel buying in to the circus that will envelop Knoxville, complete with ESPN’s “GameDay” crew? Was he acknowledging that his red-hot team was primed for its best chance to end No. 1 Alabama’s decade-plus mastery of the orange and white? Not exactly.

“S-E-C! S-E-C!” We haven’t heard that for two years now. Suddenly that isn’t the most ear-curdling rallying cry in college football. It’s been shelved by the four-letter word that enveloped AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Columbus and just about every corner of the country where Ohio State’s militant fanbase resides. They will let you know exactly where they came from. “O-H!” “I-O!” Ohio State’s 42-20 deconstruction of Oregon in the first College Football Championship game still might be the second-sweetest win for the Buckeyes this season....

Many of these are easy to miss if one is focused on the story, but avid, observant fans should have been able to find them. Given the jaw dropping attention to detail present in this game, it makes one wonder how the sequels will tackle the other iconic locations like Wutai, Costa del Sol, Rocket Town, and Cosmo Canyon. 10 Bahamut Players unlock summons by fighting them in a virtual reality simulation presented by Chadley....

How Does Hypertension Impact Headaches? It has been noted for decades that some people with high blood pressure may experience more frequent and severe headaches. However, the research is inconsistent. For example, a research study from Norway suggests that people with high blood pressure may actually have fewer headaches than those with normal blood pressure. The science and physiology behind headaches help explain why the relationship between blood pressure and headaches isn’t straightforward....

Fourteen-year-old Cenayia Edwards—who is a black student at East Wake High School in Wendell—infiltrated the chat late last month after learning about its existence from some white friends, The News & Observer reported. In order to gain access the group—which contained two members from her school and five from Corinth Holders High School in Johnston County—she changed her avatar to a white face. Once inside, she discovered several disturbing remarks including “#BringSlaveryBack,” as well as discussion of “pulling triggers and shooting” black people, murdering black babies and repeated use of the N-word....

Ekto VR has revealed a pair of boots intended to make VR worlds feel much more immersive and less nauseating to walk around. It’s one of a growing number of gadgets designed to make VR feel more realistic as the technology advances. “VR is inherently spatialized and embodied, but at the current moment in its evolution, it is primarily only engaging the visual and auditory senses, which limits the depth of immersion for the user,” Amir Bozorgzadeh, CEO of VR company Virtuleap, told Lifewire in an email interview....

Rhodes-Conway released a statement about the suspected Highland Park shooter’s visit hours after authorities shared details of what investigators believe Crimo did while in the area.

RELATED: Hilarious Comedy Sci-Fi Games You Can Play On The Nintendo Switch Some character deaths, however, can evoke an entirely different emotion. Whether it’s due to how they meet their end or the way others react to it, the death of a video game character can sometimes be much funnier than developers intended it to be.

Warning: This post will have MAJOR SPOILERS. At the same time, players can always challenge and directly compete with each other in the game’s PvP mode. Players have three options: direct conflict, invading another player’s world, and cooperative play. In PvP battles, players frequently employ complex strategies, yet their designs often fail, like in the case of the Elden Ring player who applied multiple buffs but still fell nearly immediately....

Clinton served as secretary of state under former President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2013, when Biden was vice president. In a Friday interview with MSNBC, Clinton—who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2016—was asked about Biden’s April announcement that all U.S. troops would be withdrawn from Afghanistan by September 11. The former top U.S. diplomat raised concerns about the potential fallout from the withdrawal, but did not say whether or not she viewed it as a good call by the president....

I’m no good at math either, but with the help of Slate’s Delegate Calculator I’ve scoped out the rest of the primaries, and even if you assume huge Hillary wins from here on out, the numbers don’t look good for Clinton. In order to show how deep a hole she’s in, I’ve given her the benefit of the doubt every week for the rest of the primaries. So here we go: Let’s assume Hillary beats expectations and wins Ohio tonight 55-45, Rhode Island 55-45, Texas, 53-47 and (this is highly improbable), ties in Vermont, 50-50....

Clinton’s aides spent Friday arguing three things. First: the books are not newsworthy. Second: the senator was extensively briefed on the NIE before casting her vote. And third: lots of other senators didn’t read it, either. Maybe so. But until now the senator has brushed off Democratic criticism of her vote–and her refusal to call it a mistake–by saying that she takes responsibility for her vote, while President Bush is responsible for the conduct of the war....

A trip to the Potteries is regularly cited as one of the toughest tests in English football, but Premier League leaders United are high on confidence as they seek a fourth successive victory to start the campaign. Spain international Herrera has his fingers crossed for a positive forecast as United bid to overturn a poor recent record at Stoke, where they have taken just two points in four Premier League visits since 2013....

Obama has been conducting some late-hour campaigning for Democrats ahead of the fast-approaching midterm elections on November 8. During a Friday stop in Georgia, where Walker is running against incumbent Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, Obama criticized the former NFL player as “a celebrity that wants to be a politician.” “Some of you may not remember, but Herschel Walker was a heck of a football player. But here’s the question. Does that make him the best person to represent you in the U....

Walker, a Republican challenging Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, spoke on Fox News’ Hannity on Monday following a report from The Daily Beast that claimed Walker had paid for the abortion of unnamed woman more than 10 years ago. Host Sean Hannity asked Walker about an alleged check paid to the woman, saying: “What about the $700 check? Is there anybody you can remember sending that much money to?...

Walker, during a Tuesday interview on conservative podcast The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, urged Abrams to leave Georgia and go to one of the “51 more” states to live in. Abrams controversially called Georgia the “worst state in the country to live” last month. Walker, a former NFL star, said that he found Abrams’ remark to be “insulting.” “It was totally insulting,” Walker said of Abrams’ remarks. “You said it was the worst state that you know of, and yet you’re running for office here…....
