MATCHDAY: City hosts West Ham, Lazio can delay Napoli title

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:23:02 GMT

A look at what’s happening in European soccer on Wednesday:ENGLANDFirst-place Manchester City hosts West Ham, and striker Erling Haaland needs one goal to set a new record for the most goals scored in a Premier League season. He has 34 and shares the record with Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. City has six games remaining so it seems certain Haaland — who has 50 goals in all competitions — will set a new benchmark. “The magnitude of a record is because for a long time it was not broken,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. “All records will be broken one day.” Liverpool hosts Fulham with the fifth-placed Merseyside club looking to strengthen its bid for Europa League qualification and keep alive its slim Champions League hopes.ITALYNapoli could be crowned Serie A champion without even kicking a ball — if second-place Lazio fails to beat Sassuolo. If Lazio wins, Napoli’s 33-year wait for the league title will extend at least another day when it plays at Udinese. Lazio has lost i...

UK ministers hold fire on ex-official Sue Gray’s controversial Labour job

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:23:02 GMT

LONDON — The British government is mulling “next steps” in its inquiry into Sue Gray, the former senior civil servant who raised eyebrows by leaving Whitehall to take up a top job with the Labour opposition.Cabinet Office Minister Oliver Dowden told MPs Tuesday he was “unable at this stage to provide further information relating to the departure of Ms Gray whilst we consider next steps.” The inquiry into her controversial exit had, the Guardian reported Tuesday night, been paused following “intense negotiations” between ministers and Simon Case, who heads up the civil service.Tuesday’s relatively sparse update from Dowden came despite earlier media reports that Gray — a much-respected and much-feared civil service veteran who is in line to become Keir Starmer’s chief of staff — would be criticized for the job change.Gray’s flight to the opposition angered Conservatives, who pointed to her role as the independent mandarin tasked w...

Hungary embarks on judicial reform hoping to unlock EU cash

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:23:02 GMT

The Hungarian parliament on Tuesday started debating a judicial reform which, if passed, would unlock over €13.2 billion in EU funds for the country at a time when its economy is suffering from low growth and high prices.At issue is the independence of the judiciary, which EU officials claim has been hindered by the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. A proposed reform, however, aims to strengthen independence in several ways, for example by ensuring that the National Judicial Council, a judiciary watchdog, remains independent as well as by reforming the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court to shield them from political influence and to allow cases to be referred to the European Court of Justice for preliminary rulings.The Hungarian parliament is set to vote on the reform on Wednesday.“If the judiciary independence case is settled, it unlocks the huge majority of the cohesion programs,” EU Budget Commissioner Johannes Hahn told a group of journalists last week.Buda...

EU capitals propose Chips Act for medicines

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:23:02 GMT

A majority of EU countries have rallied behind a proposal to create a “Critical Medicines Act” that would replicate European efforts toward self-reliance in microchips. The act would encourage production of key medicines, as well as pharmaceutical ingredients and more basic chemical inputs, reducing dependencies on major producers like China and India.The idea is put forward in a position paper dated Tuesday, drawn up by the Belgian government and backed by 18 other countries, including France and Germany. The EU capitals point out that 40 percent of all pharmaceutical ingredients globally are sourced from China, and that production for many of these products is concentrated in just a handful of manufacturing sites. “As a result, Europe (and the world) depend on a few manufacturers for a large bulk of their medicines supply,” notes the paper. It doesn’t spell out in detail how this would be achieved, but states that future legislation should follow the ...

(CNN) — Officials in Davis, California, have lifted an overnight shelter-in-place order after they were unable to find a suspect in a knife attack late Monday — the third such incident following two fatal stabbings in less than a week near the campus of the University of California, Davis.The startling advice for students not to venture out followed Monday’s stabbing, which left a woman in critical condition. That attack was preceded by the killings Saturday evening of a UC Davis senior and Thursday of a 50-year-old man at different parks near campus. About 40,000 students are enrolled at the public university in Davis, a city of some 68,000 people about a 20-minute drive west of the state capital, Sacramento.It’s still too early for authorities to definitively link the three attacks, Deputy Chief Todd Henry of the Davis Police told CNN Tuesday, adding police had received “hundreds” of tips. “But the pattern of the attack...
