Not that you really need the figures, but data from market insight group Springboard (via the Guardian) revealed high-street traffic grew 175% week-on-week on Monday, and 471% year-on-year. But what does this mean for online shopping? We’ve all gotten cozy with buying products online throughout the pandemic. While brick–and–mortar high street icons such as Debenhams have had to shut their doors for good (having been open for over 200 years), online retail has never been stronger....

Renewing his demands to know the identity of the whistleblower, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that the White House is “trying to find out” who the whistleblower is. The president’s demands are resulting in growing concerns for safety of the whistleblower, who filed a complaint after Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a July phone call to investigate his 2020 political rival Joe Biden, just days after he decided to withhold a U....

A little history on Wrestler’s Court – it was created by Dutch Mantell (Zeb Colter for the younger folk) years ago after the murder of Bruiser Brody. Mantell was at the stadium the night it happened. The murder came from a disagreement he had with wrestler Jose Gonzalez. For Mantell, Wrestler’s Court was good way for talent to hash things out with one another so it doesn’t get to that point....

Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov reported a number of blasts in the city, which is some 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of the border with Ukraine. Three people were dead and several others were hurt, including a 10-year-old child and a man who was hospitalized in a serious condition, Gladkov wrote in a post on the Telegram messaging app. At least 11 apartment buildings and 39 houses sustained damaged, including five that were destroyed, he said....

Farah, an enthusiastic Gunner, who won gold medals in both 5000m and 10,000m in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics was present in Thursday’s end-of-season fundraising event at the Emirates Stadium. And Elneny used the opportunity to hook up with the Somalia-born superstar who is regarded as United Kingdom’s most successful distance runner. Meanwhile, Alex Iwobi joined the rest of his teammates to donate their boots for guests to bid on during the event....

Once Republicans won one of the houses of Congress, President Obama responded with unilateral action rather than legislative compromise. “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” he famously said in 2014. “And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.” One thing he would not do? “We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation....

Abdulaziz, who sought asylum in Canada in 2013, said McKinsey prepared a report in 2016 identifying him as one of three influential social media critics of Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the kingdom’s de facto ruler. McKinsey either “furnished” the report to the crown prince or his agents, or “allowed” them to access it, the lawsuit says. The report, which took the shape of a Powerpoint presentation, allegedly characterized Abdulaziz as a “Saudi influencer with high following” that has “a multitude of negative tweets on topics such as austerity and the royal decrees....

Hello to Arms adds all manner of new content to Exit the Gungeon. The biggest addition, however, has to be Arsenal Mode. In this mode, which can be toggled on and off, players will be able to pick up any number of limited-ammunition weapons either as loot or from stores in a much more Enter the Gungeon-like experience. Since there are so many crossover players from the original game, Dodge Role’s working to better appeal to that audience....

Speaking to Sky News on Monday, Dr. David Nabarro, a WHO special envoy for COVID-19, said there was “light at the end of the tunnel” for Britain in tackling the coronavirus. “Looking at it from a U.K. point of view, there does appear to be light at the end of the tunnel…I think that it’s going to be bumpy before we get to the end,” he said. “So even though it’s possible to start imagining that the end of the pandemic is not far away, just everybody be ready for the possibility that there will be more variations and mutations coming along, or that there will be further challenges, other surges of even Omicron coming....

Co-Written by Riley Little & Rob Keyes Last week it was officially announced by Activision that Call of Duty: Black Ops would be shipping with full 3D capabilities and on that same day, Game Rant was present at the Toronto PlayStation Holiday Preview Event to see the 3D first-hand at its unveiling. That behind-closed-curtains first look at two of the game’s levels in 3D wasn’t quite enough though, so Editor-in-Chief Rob Keyes and myself went downtown for a private demo of Black Ops in 3D with Jay Puryear, Senior Manager at Treyarch....

Of course, the hope of any permanent deal was extinguished as manager, Unai Emery revealed in a press conference that the club could only complete loan deals this transfer window, owing to the financial issues the club faced. This revelation angered fans around the world as they all screamed in unison - “Kroenke out!” and many pundits were quick to target Arsenal’s transfer policy and call it ‘a joke’. Furthermore, the signing of a midfielder when the club clearly lacked quality defenders led to more criticism....

MCGUIRE: You haven’t been able to convince Spaniards of the justice of going to war against Saddam Hussein. Why? AZNAR: People don’t want war. If you ask people whether they’re for war or for peace, it’s a question that doesn’t make sense. But Spaniards were more supportive of the war in Kosovo, the war in Afghanistan. Why is there so much more resistance now? I think people perceive the risks differently this time....

Roy Hodgson’s men handed Leicester City a surprise 3-0 thrashing at the King Power Stadium in Saturday’s Premier League tie. Goals from Christian Benteke, the Cote d’Ivoire international and Bakary Sako sealed the Eagles’ maiden maximum points at an opposition’s terittory in the 2017-18 campaign. And the win moved them to the 14th spot in the log with 17 points from 18 games. And Zaha who boasts of four goals in 12 league appearances this term is, evidently, yet to get a grip of himself....

The fan who is to celebrate his 18th birthday on Wednesday when the Foxes visit Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium expressed his admiration for the Super Eagles midfielder and requested for his playing shirt after Wednesday’s league game.

The 26-year-old flaunted the well-trimmed bleached hair as Claude Puel’s men marched to their second successive league victory at home. Definitely not just a new look but a good luck charm for the former Le Havre forward who rose to the occasion again with another laudable display after scoring a goal in Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 defeat on Tuesday. The Sarcelles-born player celebrated his 15th league appearance this campaign with an assist for Demarai Gray’s sixth-minute goal that capped off his man-of-the-match performance against the Clarets....
