Manchester United hopes to break their bad streak when they play West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday. The team has not won a league match since March and has lost six straight games through draws or defeats. They reached the Europa League final on Thursday, but their poor league form remains a problem. A loss would see West Ham move ahead of them in the standings and could push them down to 17th place. Coach Ruben Amorim wants to avoid this situation at all costs.
Andre Onana should return as goalkeeper after Bayindir let in four goals in the last game. The defense will likely feature Yoro and Shaw on the sides, with Lindelof in the middle since Maguire hurt himself against Athletic Club. Patrick Dorgu might play right wing-back as...
Arsenal head to Anfield to play Liverpool this Sunday as they seek points for Champions League qualification next season. The team must compete without Declan Rice, who misses the match because of an injury. Coach Mikel Arteta moved Mikel Merino to the midfield spot and placed Leandro Trossard at the front of their attack. Arsenal did not share how bad Rice's injury is, but his absence could hurt their final matches against Newcastle United and Southampton.
Arteta told reporters that Rice could not train and had to miss the game. The Gunners need just a win to secure their spot in next season's Champions League after Paris Saint-Germain knocked them out of this year's tournament. Arsenal leads Newcastle United by one point for second...
Arsenal travels to Liverpool with two lineup changes—Trossard steps in for injured Rice as Merino moves to midfield. White takes over at right back instead of Timber, who sits on the bench. The rest of the team stays the same from their Paris Saint-Germain match. A win would secure their spot in next season's Champions League.
Liverpool shuffles their lineup with six new faces after losing to Chelsea. Bradley plays right back as Alexander-Arnold prepares for his Real Madrid move. Konate, Robertson, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, and Luis Diaz all return to the starting eleven. Both teams bring strong bench options with players like Tierney and Sterling for Arsenal and Alexander-Arnold and Nunez for Liverpool.
Arsenal lineup: Raya, White...
Apple plans to change how iPhones look when the device turns 20 years old in 2027. The new model will have a screen that reaches every edge with no black borders around it. The face scanner for unlocking the phone will hide under the screen instead of sitting in a cutout. Apple wants the phone to look like one piece of glass, much like the first iPhone from 2007. The design needs special skills to build, which is why Apple will make it in China.
China makes the best iPhone parts, but it costs more money because of taxes added to Chinese goods. India will keep making cheaper iPhones, but lacks the skills for this special model. The complex glass design might raise the price higher than the current models. Apple creates its computer...
Zimbabwe set up new border gates that read faces instead of needing officers to check papers. People with special electronic passports can walk through these machines without talking to anyone. The gates scan faces and passport chips to make sure they match the right person. These machines lock up fast if something looks wrong and call for help. Border officers still step in when the system spots problems.
The country placed seven scanning gates at Robert Mugabe Airport and more at Victoria Falls Airport, Joshua Nkomo Airport, and Beitbridge Border crossing. Right now, only citizens with Zimbabwe electronic passports can use these fast lanes. Officials plan to let foreigners and permit holders use them soon. The system copies what...
Zimbabwe wants to collect 40 tonnes of gold this year as prices reach $3,323 per ounce. The country needs just over 3,000 kilograms more to hit this goal after mining 37 tonnes last year. Success would bring in $4.27 billion from exports at current prices. Teams visit mines every three months to check who follows the rules. These visits help stop illegal mining across the country.
Mines secretary Pfungwa Kunaka believes they can reach their target through better checking. Field teams gather data from legal miners but also look for hidden operations. They can call the police when they find illegal activity. Many registered miners still break rules or fail to report all the gold they find. Local people often help officials find secret...
Eight families face removal from the land they have lived on since 2000 at George Nollen Farm in Bikita. A lithium mining firm claims this area belongs to its business. The families farmed here for over twenty years as part of Zimbabwe's land reforms. Chief Marozva said legal talks continue about what happens next. The mining company promised to pay all costs for moving these people elsewhere.
Resident Caroline Zinyemba worries about fair treatment during the move. Another resident, Loice Tsinyamai, asked the government to help them. They fear officials might side with the mining interests instead. Their local council member reported the case to Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights. Community groups say forcing people off their land...
Zimbabwe opposition groups fight among themselves instead of against the ruling party. The Citizens Coalition for Change once stood strong but grew weak after its leader, Nelson Chamisa, left in 2023. Members care more about fancy cars and money than helping voters. Many people who went to jail supporting these leaders feel let down.
Sengezo Tshabangu kicked out dozens of elected officials, claiming they did not belong in the party. His actions helped the Zanu-PF party win more seats in the government. Some opposition members visited President Mnangagwa at his farm to show support. The ruling party calls the opposition outdated and unable to change with the times.
Political experts say the opposition might disappear completely if...
England cricket team members must avoid golf talk before they play Zimbabwe this month. The team leaders told players to focus on cricket ahead of the four-day game at Trent Bridge. Sam Cook earned a spot on the team after playing well for Essex in recent matches. Chris Woakes will miss the game because he hurt his ankle during earlier play. The cricket match starts on May 22 and ends on May 25 in Nottingham.
