Jurgen Klopp’s men are 25 points clear at the summit and need only two more wins to clinch a first top-flight title since 1990. The Premier League has been suspended since March because of the coronavirus pandemic but there are hopes it will be able to resume next month. Clubs were permitted to return to training in small groups while observing social distancing this week, and Henderson believes Liverpool will be in peak condition to pick up where they left off....

Serie A has been postponed since March due to the COVID-19 crisis, though most teams are returning to individual training this week. Spadafora has previously reiterated that team training will not resume before May 18, despite the government allowing players to return to club facilities. With Germany’s Bundesliga set to restart its 2019-20 campaign later in May, Spadafora said on Wednesday: “The [Italian Football Federation] FIGC has proposed a protocol, which the technical-scientific committee will evaluate tomorrow [Thursday]....

Following LaLiga’s coronavirus hiatus, players were allowed to resume individual work on May 4 as the country began to de-escalate its lockdown measures. Although strict guidelines are set to remain in place for Madrid and Catalonia over the coming weeks, the lockdown is being eased in many other regions of Spain, with Saturday’s COVID-19 death toll dropping to 102, the lowest daily figure for two months. But in accordance with government regulations and protocols, clubs will be able to resume group sessions at their training bases from Monday....

The league issued a statement on Monday which stated that the Independence Day weekend caused logistical delays and that all results from players’ initial tests would be completed by the end of the day. It comes as some teams have had to skip team workouts or delay the beginning of their training camps just weeks before the scheduled start of the shortened season. “Our plan required extensive delivery and shipping services, including proactive special accommodations to account for the holiday weekend,” the statement said....

The Eredivisie and Ligue 1 have ended their 2019-20 campaigns because of COVID-19, but the Premier League, along with Serie A, LaLiga and the Bundesliga, intends to resume when possible. That will almost certainly involve games behind closed doors and potentially at neutral venues, although the prospect of resuming leagues at all while countries remain in lockdown appears unfathomable. That was highlighted earlier this week when Bundesliga club Cologne reported three positive coronavirus tests, while Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero claimed some players would be “scared” to return for fear of contracting the virus and passing it on to family members....

Diego Simeone’s squad resumed duties at the club’s facilities last Saturday, though the Brazilian was absent amid media speculation he had tested positive for coronavirus. Atleti made no official announcement but seemed to confirm the story by posting a picture of the absent left-back on Twitter with the caption: “Renan Lodi salutes you from home. See you soon on the pitch!” However, media reports in Spain say the defender has since returned two negative test results for COVID-19, clearing him to make a comeback....

Economists told Newsweek that the Families First Coronavirus Response Act signed into law on Wednesday night covered very few workers who might need to take time off and isolate themselves if they catch the novel coronavirus. One economist also said that everything in the bill needed to be “scaled up further” to ensure Americans had money to pay rent and put food on the table. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act was first passed by the House on Saturday morning, and was later changed on Monday night before being passed onto the Senate....

Berbatov has dropped down manager Alex Ferguson’s strikers pecking order to number four, which isn’t the best for a striker of his class who scored 21 goals for Manchester United last season in the English Premier League. Now reports say that Berbatov’s former club Bayer 04 Leverkusen are interested to bring the seasoned striker back to the German Bundesliga. If the striker would be available on a free transfer, then Leverkusen could be tempted to bring Berbatov back as he was a sensation from 2001 to 2006 in the Bundesliga with 69 goals in 154 matches before he moved to Tottenham Hotspurs....

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the eruption began Sunday night. The volcano, which stretches more than 13,000 feet above sea level, is not threatening downslope communities at this time as lava flow is constrained to the caldera summit. But some are worried that the activity on Mauna Loa could trigger one of the island’s other four volcanoes. Mauna Loa is one of five volcanoes on Hawaii’s big island....

Pence and Trump have had a tense relationship since leaving the White House because of their opposing views on the former vice president’s decision not to interfere with the certification of President Joe Biden’s win on January 6. While Trump’s comments about January 6 and the “stolen” presidential election have irked some prominent Republicans, when it comes to GOP voters in general, polls indicate that Trump has the numbers on his side....

Several sources reported that on a flight leaving San Francisco International on Wednesday, Tyson threw several punches at a passenger who was reportedly irritating him.

AMD would have you believe that next-generation visuals will be on par with Avatar. Others like Silicon Knights want to see 3D explode in the coming years. But perhaps the biggest surprise of them all: the next generation of consoles could be the last one you ever see. That’s the forecast seen by Fredrik Wester, CEO of Swedish developer Paradox Interactive. According to StrategyInformer, Wester made the assertions during his company’s annual showcase, in which he went on to predict the decline of boxed products as they give way to more “open” forms like the PC, and mobile and social networks....

The counterprotest, which organizers titled “No Rooms for Fascists,” was set for 3 p.m., but less than an hour before then the event was canceled after organizers said they “received credible threats” from Proud Boys members. Counterprotest participants originally aimed to “expose the Holiday Inn’s preference for white supremacists,” according to a digital flyer, shared to Instagram on Monday morning, that included information about the event. “Holiday Inn Alexandria is hosting violent white supremacists and neo-Nazis on the week of Jan 6,” the flyer said, referencing reports that members of the Proud Boys and other far-right groups secured accommodations there....

As the deadline drew closer last week, the West was at pains to maintain solidarity. It wasn’t easy. At one point, NATO’s ultimatum began to look negotiable, faltering on a definition of U.N. “control” of weapons. The Serbs balked at giving up their guns, insisting that the Muslims first withdraw their infantry. Then, in rolled the Russians, pulling off a surprise diplomatic coup. Only four days short of the deadline, they persuaded the Bosnian Serbs to start moving their big guns and tanks out of the exclusion zone (map) – in exchange for a Russian troop presence around Sarajevo....

This pledge was part of the COP26 Health Program and the United Nations Climate Change Summit that was held in Scotland from October 31 through November 12.

The goal is to achieve what is called “net zero” emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases....
