The vice president made the remarks in Texas during her first trip to the border since President Joe Biden tasked her with spearheading the administration’s response to the wave of immigrants. Harris has received substantial backlash from Republicans as well as some Democrats for not visiting the border earlier. “The reality of it is that we have to deal with causes and we have to deal with the effects,” she told reporters Friday morning as she arrived at the El Paso Central Processing Center, a U....

Harris was speaking at the 113th NAACP National Convention when she called for steps to be taken in order to protect “fundamental freedoms,” which she said included women being able to make decisions about their own bodies. “On this subject, it’s important to note that to support a woman’s ability—not her government, but her—to make that decision does not require anyone to abandon their faith or their beliefs,” Harris said....

Gaethje said the only time Chandler was able to hit him after the first round was due to a blatant eye poke that the referee failed to notice. In a recent interaction with Jon Anik, Justin Gaethje weighed in on his barnburner with Michael Chandler at UFC 268. Watch Justin Gaethje’s interaction with Jon Anik below: Gaethje beat Chandler via unanimous decision in a potential title eliminator at UFC 268....

Meram was born in the U.S. but has represented Iraq internationally since 2014. He has dual citizenship through his parents, who were both born in Iraq. After Iraq was one of seven countries on the Trump administration’s original travel ban that was struck down by the courts, the nation was left off a revised travel ban that was introduced earlier this week. But despite that exclusion, Meram has still opted against representing Iraq in important World Cup qualifiers against Australia and Saudi Arabia later this month....

The Bianconeri’s tally of 36 league titles is double that of the next two successful clubs in the Italian top-flight (AC Milan and Inter Milan - 18 apiece). During their nine-year Serie A reign, Juventus won four consecutive league and cup doubles and also reached the Champions League final on two occasions. Juventus’ all-time best XI Unsurprisingly, some of the best players to have graced the sport, like Cristiano Ronaldo, Michel Platini, Michael Laudrup and Dino Zoff, to name a few, have donned the Juventus jersey over the years....

The two sides meet in Turin for the opening leg on Tuesday, with Pjanic set to feature against the club he could have joined in 2012. Following Luka Modric’s departure to Real Madrid, Pjanic — then of Roma — was approached about a potential switch to the Premier League, having earlier decided against moving to Arsenal when he was at Lyon. “There was the opportunity but at that moment I told them I was happy where I was and that’s why we didn’t sign the deal,” Pjanic told the Telegraph, while warning his team-mates that Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be a force to be reckoned with....

The last season’s champions were relentless in their pursuit of a breakthrough throughout the first half and it was their incessant inflow of shots that finally broke down a resilient and inspired SPAL goalkeeper Etrit Berisha just before the half-time whistle, thanks to another long-range screamer from midfielder Miralem Pjanic. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was an injury doubt heading into the fixture, started and played a full 90 minutes for the Old Lady and was on target yet again as he took his tally to three goals in five appearances....

The pair played together for the Serie A champions before ultimately deciding to pursue their careers in England. Pogba clinched a second Manchester United spell in the summer of 2016, while ex-Real Madrid man Morata moved to Chelsea a year later to join up with Antonio Conte. Neither player, however, is currently fully content in the Premier League, and Marotta is considering the tantalising prospect of engineering a return. “A return for Pogba or Morata?...

Dybala dismisses Barcelona talk The 21-year-old was forced to pull out of the Croatia squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo and Finland after failing to come through a training session on Monday. Croatia diagnosed Pjaca as having suffered a minor break to his left fibula, but Juve says the injury is not as serious as first feared. “Marko Pjaca has undergone new imaging scans (CT and MRI) at the club’s J Medical facility that have revealed bruising to the distal region of the left fibula with no evidence of fracturing,” a club statement read....

The long-serving centre-half’s current deal with the reigning Serie A champions expires in the summer of 2018. Juventus 3/4 to beat Atalanta Juve are, however, eager to tie the 33-year-old to fresh terms during a period of much change in their famed defensive unit. Leonardo Bonucci departed the club for fierce rivals AC Milan over the summer, while Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Barzagli could head into retirement at the end of the current campaign....

In case you didn’t know… James Rodriguez joined Real Madrid after a stunning World Cup in 2014, and played with Ronaldo for 3 seasons before falling out of favour with the club and subsequently being loaned to Bayern Munich. Furthermore, James Rodriguez was one of Ronaldo’s closest friends at the club, so it would come at no surprise if this plays a role in the Colombian midfielder packing his bags for Turin....

Last month, the Lakers defeated the Miami Heat in six games to clinch a first NBA championship in 10 years and draw level with the Boston Celtics’ all-time record of 17 NBA titles. Two weeks later, the Dodgers broke an even longer drought when they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in six games to win the World Series for the first time since 1988. While the resolutions are a symbolic gesture from the federal government and not particularly uncommon when it comes to celebrate championship-winning teams, many questioned their timing, as they were passed amid a continued spike of coronavirus cases across the nation....

After winning all four league games while Kane recovered from an ankle ligament injury sustained in the January home defeat to Manchester United, Tottenham capitulated at Turf Moor on Saturday, falling 2-1 to Ashley Barnes’ late strike after England forward Kane marked his comeback with the away side’s equaliser. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino effectively conceded his third placed team were out of the race after the loss, which leaves Spurs six points behind leaders Liverpool, but Kane refuses to write off his side’s chances....

He is now in the final year of his Chelsea deal and is free to negotiate pre-contracts with other clubs. According to a recent report by Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich and Barcelona lead the race to sign the Danish defender. Christensen’s Chelsea career finally took off last year Christensen has had a slow rise to the top at Chelsea....

Lautaro Martinez’s agent reveals his client’s stance on future The Argentinian starlet’s agent Beto Yaque has stated that his client remains keen to build his future at Inter. Beto also believed that his client is good enough to pair alongside Mauro Icardi at the front. “His future is Inter and Argentina. Recovery times? Actually I still can’t tell, tomorrow morning we will meet and will certainly be evaluated all these days in training,” he said....

Carlo Ancelotti has set his sights on finding a new striker, with Karim Benzema’s future at the Bernabeu now uncertain, and Vlahovic could be the Frenchman’s replacement. Although he secured the Ballon d’Or after an impressive season with the Madridistas, Benzema’s contract is set to expire in the summer. It is unlikely that Los Blancos will renew the deal to keep the striker at the Bernabeu, but his departure would leave a massive hole in Madrid’s attack....

As evacuation efforts ensued in Kabul following the Taliban’s takeover of the country, two suicide bombings went off as thousands of people gathered trying to leave. The U.S. officials spoke on the condition of anonymity and said a final count of those who died in the attacks might take time. Many others were wounded. In addition, the U.S. said 13 American servicemen were killed. The violence came as the U....

That storyline will take a backseat, however, to the injury suffered to Justin Moore in the victory.

He will undergo surgery this week and miss the team’s Final Four matchup against Kansas.
