guardianworldnews_feedSix arrests made after crowd hurled fireworks and other missiles at officers during protests following alleged sexual assault on a young girl
Six people have been arrested after Irish police battled hundreds of protesters outside a Dublin hotel used to house asylum seekers after an alleged sexual assault on a young girl.
The crowd burned a police vehicle and hurled fireworks and other missiles at officers outside the Citywest hotel on Tuesday night.

No major bank has yet committed to stop funding new oil and gas fields or coal capacity, research has found.
Most banks that have recently updated their climate policies have weakened them, according to the research by the TPI Global Climate Transition Centre (TPI) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

La Liga laments outcome in push for league’s growth
La Liga has announced it will no longer stage Villarreal v Barcelona in Miami this December, blaming “uncertainty” caused by the critical response to the plans in Spain.
The Spanish top flight had set great store in staging some of its fixtures abroad and bemoaned its inability to follow through with the plans in a lengthy statement released on Tuesday night.

Brandon Thomas-Asante’s double secured Coventry a fifth successive victory as Frank Lampard’s side extended their lead at the top of the Championship table by defeating Portsmouth 2-1.
Thomas-Asante converted his seventh and eighth goals of the season to move the unbeaten Sky Blues four points clear, before Middlesbrough visit Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday.

It was only one, which is not many for a man on 24 in his past 14 matches for club and country, but his early strike opened the way towards a win sufficiently dominant to suggest that a team is emerging once again. Pep Guardiola said: “We have the feeling that again we can control the games … that in many things you are coming back to what you were in the past.”
If Haaland is inevitable, he is not alone. Bernardo Silva added the second towards the end of a first half of notable superiority, before there were brief moments in which Manchester City allowed their hosts the illusion of making a game of this when it was gone.

Yet in lauding the terrifying pace of Howe’s wingers, not to mention his team’s aggression and organisation, Benfica’s manager was perhaps not being disingenuous after all. By the end his insistence that Newcastle’s modest Premier League position is false certainly rang true.
At the final whistle no one doubted Mourinho’s sincerity as he strode up to Anthony Gordon and informed the England left-winger that he had been “absolutely brilliant”.

Older people who only walk 4,000 daily steps once a week still reduce their risk of dying early by a quarter, a study suggests.
Staying active is known to bring a wide range of health benefits. But many people in their 60s, 70s and beyond may struggle for a variety of reasons to maintain the step count they used to reach. Until now it has been unclear how much people need to do as they age to reap the rewards.

Brandon Thomas-Asante’s double secured Coventry a fifth straight victory as Frank Lampard’s side extended their lead at the top of the Championship table by beating Portsmouth 2-1. Thomas-Asante converted his seventh and eighth goals of the season to move the unbeaten Sky Blues four points clear, before Middlesbrough visit Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday.
The Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth surpassed Horace Pearson’s club-record streak of 608 minutes without conceding – a mark that had stood since 1934 – before his goal was finally breached by Makenzie Kirk’s delightful lob in stoppage time.

Kosovo has become the first country to indicate it will accept Britain’s refused asylum seekers as part of government plans to set up “return hubs” in third countries.
Albin Kurti, the prime minister of Kosovo, said he “wants to help the UK” and confirmed discussions were taking place with officials from the UK, the Times reports. The plans would seek to send people whose asylum claims had been turned down to foreign detention centres once they had exhausted all avenues of appeal.

An investigation is ongoing after federal agents shot a man in the elbow and a deputy US marshal was hit in the hand by a ricochet bullet during an immigration enforcement operation in south Los Angeles, police said.
The Los Angeles police department said the incident was reported shortly before 9am and involved a federal agent being shot.

If Haaland is inevitable, he is not alone. Bernardo Silva added the second towards the end of a first half of notable superiority, before there were brief moments in which Manchester City allowed their hosts the illusion of making a game of this when it was gone. When Haaland was withdrawn with five minutes left, there were whistles and relief; he had just fired two more shots at them, each saved by Luiz Júnior, but now at least he could do no more damage. He had already done enough.
Continue reading...guardianworldnews_feedThe crazy thing was that Atlético Madrid were well in this Champions League match until the 57th minute. Diego Simeone’s team had defended robustly. They had just hit the crossbar through Julián Alvarez. But then they were not, and it was the speed and brutality with which Arsenal moved the game away from them that took the breath.
There were more set-piece goals, inevitably – for the breakthrough and No 4. It was Declan Rice to Gabriel Magalhães and then a repeat of the link‑up, the only difference being that Gabriel headed square for Viktor Gyökeres to bundle over the line rather than scoring himself. It feels as though nobody can contain Gabriel when he begins his runs and Rice delivers.

kaberettI have, today, made my first Soup of the autumn: carrot and leek and celery and a couple of potatoes for good measure (and I then added frozen peas to my portion, because I like them cold and not at all cooked and definitely not reheated repeatedly over the course of a week). Bread and cheese, fruit to follow. I didn't manage Monday Morning Soup Ritual this week, as you can tell from the fact that it's Tuesday, but. Soup.
Some other bits and pieces: I have reached the stage of Squash Week where I have more recipes I want to make than I have squash with which to make them (... and one spaghetti squash) (for which I have at least some open EatYourBooks tabs). I hit refresh in my Oxfam tab aaaaaand the sale has cycled around to 30% off 3+ books. I have a chilli order ready to go as soon as my new debit card arrives OR I get over myself and see whether the credit card is actually behaving. There is a batch of onions caramelising in the Instant Pot. The current pain book is abruptly unexpectedly absorbing -- it's much more Sociology Of Pain than I'd quite been expecting, but it's potentially building to making at least some of the argument I want to from a refreshingly different angle to everything else I've come across in my background reading so far, and in the meantime in spite of my frustrations with it it's prompting lots of Useful Thoughts.
And I am wearing my Seasonal Leggings (courtesy of Mardy Bum, findable primarily on Facebook, or Instagram for a bit of an idea) and my Extremely Enthusiastic Slippers, like so. ( Read more... )
cosmolinguistCaught up with my mom today. It'd been an eventful few weeks; I know they were closing on Grandma's house a week ago, and for most of the intervening time my parents had been visiting our Wisconsin family. Now that they're back, today my parents picked up the check for their share of the house, and deposited it, including a big chunk for me.
I tried to refuse it, I really want my parents to have it because they have less money than I do, but they also have a huge aversion to believing themselves to have less money than I do. And I think this might help them pay less taxes, so: fine. (I'm normally in favor of paying taxes but not federally right now! ugh.) And some of it is a little sentimental for my mom. And me too. I miss my grandma.
I'd trade all the money for the lefse spatula and rolling pin that I never got, and I may well have to buy myself another one. Maybe I'll make a batch at Christmas. It won't be the spatula with the blue handle and the hand-painted yellow flowers and the decades of use, but at least I can have some lefse.
Having heard today too that the U.S. government shutdown has reached the point of stopping SNAP (food for poor people) and knowing online a bunch of people who are reliant on that and scared about how they're going to survive, I just want to give all the money away. I feel so uncomfortable that I have this useless money when others could use it so much.
