Scores and latest updates including Burnley vs Newcastle United

Vincent Kompany insists he will not “overthink” the end of the season as Burnley continue their fight for Premier League safety with the visit of Newcastle today. Burnley’s recent upturn in form has propelled them to within two points of safety, with their latest impressive performance earning a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend. The 19th-placed Clarets have struggled on their own patch for much of the campaign but, since their 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth at the start of March, they have gone unbeaten in their last three at Turf Moor. Newcastle have scored nine goals in their last three games but Burnley boss Kompany says there is no reason to change things with three matches to go. He said: “You have to respect their attacking capabilities but at the same time it’s Saturday at Turf Moor. It’s a different day, different opponent, anything can happen, that’s the mindset and we’ve played good players all season so why start to overthink it now? If they are better than us well done, …

The best workout playlist demands these soundtracks and scores

The best workout playlist demands these soundtracks and scores

Whether it’s an expertly curated soundtrack or a meticulously composed score, music for film and television plays a huge part in how we experience what we watch. But enjoying the work of music supervisors and composers doesn’t have to end when the credits roll. It can also double as a pulse-pounding playlist for a workout. If you love mixing up the music that fuels your fitness, songs from these movies and TV shows will give you more options for the next time you’re ready to sweat.  Ranging from hip-hop to hard rock, electronica to orchestral arrangements, there’s something for everyone and every type of workout on this list. But remember: Movies — and their music — don’t maintain their energy level at 11 for their entirety for reasons like pacing and budget. Not every song on these albums may be what you need at a particular point in your workout, so feel free to skip them.  Here are the best soundtracks and scores to add to your workout playlist, plus the type of exercise they …

UK & US scores drop amid layoffs

UK & US scores drop amid layoffs

A world map shaded to indicate how countries scored on the RSF Press Freedom Index 2024. The map is overwhelmingly red, with much of Asia coloured darkly red indicating a “very serious” press freedom situation. The Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Press Freedom Index scores for both the UK and US have dropped, driven in part by financial difficulties resulting in widespread job cuts. The UK’s score was largely flat compared to 2023, but it suffered a five-point drop to 69.4 out of 100 in its economic indicator and therefore moved from a “satisfactory” to a “problematic” classification. The UK improved by three places in the 2024 ranking to 23rd of 180 countries, despite losing one point. This put it just behind Samoa and ahead of Jamaica. RSF UK bureau director Fiona O’Brien told Press Gazette: “While overall, the ability of journalists to work freely in the UK remains stable, it is worrying to see the economic indicator slip into the ‘problematic’ zone, reflecting a challenging economic environment. “This has been a tough year for the …

Police Arrest Scores of Pro-Palestinian Protesters on US University Campuses

(Reuters) – Pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested on a handful of U.S. university campuses on Saturday, as activists vowed to keep up the movement seeking a ceasefire in Israel’s war with Hamas among other demands. The Indiana University police department in Bloomington said in an emailed statement that 23 protesters were arrested there. Indiana State Police along with Indiana University police told demonstrators they could not pitch tents and camp on campus. When the tents were not removed, police arrested and transported protesters to the Monroe County Justice Center on charges of criminal trespass and resisting arrest. War in Israel and Gaza “The Indiana University Police Department continues to support peaceful protests on campus that follow university policy,” the police statement read. Pro-Palestinian protests have spread to college campuses across the U.S., stoked by the mass arrest of over 100 people on Columbia University’s campus last week. In addition to a ceasefire, protesters are demanding that their schools divest from companies involved with Israel’s military and seeking an end to U.S. military assistance for Israel along …

Scores and latest updates including Man Utd vs Burnley

By Reuters Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will have Mason Mount back for this afternoon’s Premier League game against Burnley and is hopeful Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial and Lisandro Martinez will return before the season’s end. Mount, who has started just seven matches this season across all competitions, had just returned from a three-month injury layoff when he suffered a setback in United’s FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry City last Sunday. Their 4-2 win over Sheffield United on Wednesday has Ten Hag’s men sixth in the standings, seven points behind Tottenham Hotspur who have a game in hand, and so the manager could use all the reinforcements he can get. “I think we are going to see those three this season,” Ten Hag said of Shaw, Martial and Martinez. “All three returned to the pitch. Next week they have to step into team training but next week, they can step in for the last weeks. They progress well.” United’s defending has been an issue all season due to injuries, with the side conceding …

Anthony Edwards Scores 36 Points, Timberwolves Beat Suns 126-109 for 3-0 Series Lead

PHOENIX (AP) — Anthony Edwards hit a jumper late in the fourth quarter and snarled as he ran down the court, pounding his chest with his fist for emphasis as Minnesota pulled away for another dominant playoff win. The Timberwolves are the undeniable alpha dogs through three games of this increasingly lopsided series. Edwards scored 36 points, Rudy Gobert added 19 points and 14 rebounds and the Timberwolves used a hot-shooting third quarter to beat the Phoenix Suns 126-109 on Friday night and take a 3-0 lead in the first-round matchup. “We’re just embracing the moment,” Gobert said. “We have only one goal in mind and we’re trying to make sure we don’t get distracted by the success or the ups and downs. We’re just locked in.” Minnesota goes for the sweep in Game 4 on Sunday in Phoenix. The Wolves never trailed on Friday. Photos You Should See – April 2024 “This is a team you need to dictate terms with,” Minnesota coach Chris Finch said. “You don’t want to get behind big on …

Deprived schools more likely to see scores fall

Deprived schools more likely to see scores fall

Analysis comes as Covid impact and potential Labour changes may spell end to measure in its current form Analysis comes as Covid impact and potential Labour changes may spell end to measure in its current form More from this theme Recent articles Schools with the poorest intakes are more likely to have seen their progress 8 scores drop over the past eight years, new analysis suggests. FFT Education Datalab analysed progress 8 scores by school type, region and demographics between 2016 and 2023. It comes after the government announced that it won’t implement alternative progress measures in the next two academic years. The next two GCSE cohorts do not have key stage 2 SATs results because of the Covid pandemic. This, coupled with Labour’s pledge to reform the measure, means “it’s possible that 2024 will be the last time we see progress 8 in its current form,” said Datalab’s Katie Beynon. The organisation took public progress 8 data, and divided schools into five equal “quintiles” based on the proportion of year 11 pupils who had …

Sudan’s Hotel Rwanda: the man who saved scores of people during Darfur violence | Sudan

Sudan’s Hotel Rwanda: the man who saved scores of people during Darfur violence | Sudan

Every night, for weeks at a time last year, Saad al-Mukhtar put a small group of people in the back of his Toyota Land Cruiser and drove them under the cover of darkness from his home in the Sudanese city of Geneina across the border and into Chad. The operation was an extraordinary act of bravery and selflessness: Mukhtar is an Arab, and the people he was smuggling to safety were members of the darker skinned Masalit community who were being targeted in a vicious wave of ethnic violence perpetrated by Arab militias. “I helped everybody who knocked on my door,” Mukhtar said. “I didn’t know the majority of them.” The name is a pseudonym – he said if his real name was used his life and those of his relatives would be in danger. Over the course of last year, after the outbreak of war in Sudan in April, hundreds of thousands of Masalit people fled from Geneina and the wider West Darfur state into Chad. The war, pitting the Arab paramilitary group the …
