The current affairs show will air in the U.K., U.S. and Australia in what is a global deal with News Corp and Fox News Media. Morgan, who left his job hosting Good Morning Britain earlier this year said he is “thrilled” with the new opportunity. “I’m thrilled to be returning to News Corp. which is where I began my media career more than 30 years ago. Rupert Murdoch has been a constant and fearless champion of free speech and we are going to be building something new and very exciting together,” he said in a statement per News UK....

But he does exist, inasmuch as anything exists on a metaphysical level, and he's reportedly 100 percent entering spring training.

There’s always been a perverse pleasure in entering Pinter’s implacable universe, watching him strip away illusions as we listen to his disquieting dialogue. He brought a new sound to the stage, an up-side-down poetry crafted with fierce precision out of innuendo, insinuation, invective. Pinter’s notorious pauses create a negative music, a syncopated silence, like a heart skipping a beat under the pressure of its bad faith. “Moonlight” resonates strongly with this strangely seductive music....

Zidane has said Real Madrid will not give the Catalans the customary show of recognition ahead of the La Liga meeting at Camp Nou in May, assuming Barca have won the title by then. The Frenchman this week accused Barca of breaking tradition when they refused to hold a guard of honour following Madrid’s Club World Cup win in December. But Pique, speaking after his side’s 3-1 win over Leganes on Saturday, did not appear unduly affronted by Zidane’s decision....

Joel Pereira - Man Utd’s next No.1? Photographs emerged on Friday of the Spain international speaking to police through the window of his car on the hard shoulder of a busy main road in Catalunya. The images were published by the online versions of a number of UK-based newspapers, who said that Pique had allegedly been pulled over for speeding and reckless driving. Pique insists the allegations were drummed up by a paparazzo hoping to sell photographs and says he is “fed up” with what he claims is a persistent misrepresentation of the truth within some sections of the media....

The blue. The gold. The script “Pitt” on the helmet. Now that the Panthers have brought that Crayola combination back for good, the fourth-year coach hopes that design coincides with a program revival. Pitt reached the ACC championship game for the first time in 2018, but also lost its last three games of the season. “Those colors — again, a uniform is not going to win us any games — but they talk about, ‘Look good, play good,’ and I love the colors,” Narduzzi said at the ACC Kickoff on July 18....

Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi posted a video of Conner going through team drills with a surgeon’s mask covering his face. MORE: Athletes and other sports figures battling cancer After his diagnosis, Conner vowed to not let cancer rule his life and to get back on the field, saying “I will be at Heinz Field again.

Narduzzi replaces Paul Chryst, who left to coach Wisconsin. Narduzzi served as Michigan State’s defensive coordinator from 2007-2014 and had success, as his defenses ranked in the top 10 nationally in each of the last four seasons. “I am very honored to be the new head football coach at the University of Pittsburgh,” said Narduzzi, according to College Football Talk. “I want to thank Chancellor Gallagher, Executive Vice Chancellor Jerry Cochran, Dr....

That’s the question two scientists have posed in a new paper published in the online pre-print website arXiv. Five years ago, a study was published indicating the presence of a large, hypothetical world tens of millions of miles from the Sun, which has come to be known as “Planet Nine” or “Planet X.” The scientists who predicted the planet’s existence did so based on the strange, highly elliptical orbits of around 30 so-called Trans-Netpunian objects (TNOs....

In 1963, Jewish philosopher and writer Hannah Arendt, who had fled Germany as Hitler came to power, coined the phrase “banality of evil” in her reporting on the trial of Adolf Eichmann. One of the principal architects of the Holocaust, the balding, bespectacled Eichmann looked more like an everyday bank clerk than an executioner responsible for genocide. He claimed to have no particular hatred for Jews. In fact, he insisted he had just been obeying orders as he helped design the “Final Solution” to murder millions of innocent men, women and children....

The antisemitic messages are the latest of several that have been reported in the Bay Area and across the country since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Berkeley police said in a Monday news release. Many of the antisemitic messages, including those found Sunday by residents of a Berkeley Hills neighborhood, contain language that blames Jewish people for COVID-19. Berkeley police said the messages were found inside plastic sandwich bags that were left overnight on driveways and doorsteps for residents to find Sunday morning....

We’re. Still. Here.

That should be nothing unusual to the Mets and their fans, who usually take a backseat to the Yankees, but at least in that regard, you can see change afoot, and the change on the New York baseball landscape is fascinating.

That made sense when the move was made in 1985, when travel between, say, Boston and Los Angeles was difficult, and newspaper writers had to transmit stories under tight deadlines. Much has changed, though. And by a unanimous vote, the league’s Board of Governors on Wednesday changed its Finals format back to 2-2-1-1-1. “The Competition Committee felt strongly that a consistent format should be used for each round of our playoffs,” Rod Thorn, president of the league’s Basketball Operations, said....

Ask experts why Argentina is in disarray, and many will point a finger at the nation’s antiquated and corrupt provincial system. Despite regional differences, nearly all have the same problems as Corrientes–an impoverished population, padded state payrolls, financial mismanagement and political cronyism. The 24 provinces account for 3 percent of Argentina’s economic output but suck up half of all federal spending. While the nation is struggling to recover from a debilitating depression, the provinces have run up a collective $2 billion budget deficit....

Driving the change is the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services, which wants to create “patriots” and not just naturalized residents out of the more than 500,000 immigrants who become citizens each year. “What’s at stake is really the survival of our democracy,” says Alfonso Aguilar, head of the Office of Citizenship. “If we don’t strengthen our assimilation efforts, then 20 or 30 years down the road we may have a dysfunctional society....

Only one victory from their opening four games in Group E has left Tottenham third on four points, two adrift of Bayer Leverkusen and four behind leaders Monaco. Defeat at the Stade Louis II on matchday five and a victory for Leverkusen over CSKA Moscow would end their hopes of reaching the last 16. Morale is high within the Spurs squad, though, after they twice came from behind to beat West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday, ending a seven-game winless run in all competitions....
