Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said on Thursday he was open to talks with the US on drug trafficking and oil, after weeks of an escalating pressure campaign against his government.In an interview with Venezuelan state TV, Maduro said he was ready for dialogue with the US “wherever they want and whenever they want”. He also evaded a question about a statement by President Donald Trump that the US had hit a docking facility in Venezuela – the first such attack inside the country reportedly carried out by the CIA.

Man Utd may never beat their worst January signing ever, but it’s Leeds who bought ‘the most expensive player in football history in terms of cost per game’. Every Premier League club’s greatest January signing is worth a gander too. Arsenal: Kaba Diawara Many see Dennis Bergkamp’s FA Cup semi-final penalty miss as the point Arsenal’s Double became Manchester United’s Treble in 1999, but the sliding doors moment arguably came even later. The two sides were separated by goal difference heading into the final two games of the Premier League season, and both faced difficult fixtures. United had to…
Christmas Day 2023 is one that Dan Baines will never forget. “Ever since seeing one at Silverstone years ago, I’d always wanted a Mégane R26.R,” he says. “Last December, I found a 2009-reg with 44,000 miles for sale. It was being offered by a friend in the trade. I trusted him. I never saw the car and never drove it but we negotiated the price on Christmas Eve by WhatsApp and on Christmas Day I bought it.” The Mégane R26.R is the track-focused version of the regular Mégane R26 and was launched in 2008 costing – are you sitting down?-just…

For at least the 27th time in his still relatively brief Manchester United reign, Ruben Amorim has turned a corner only to find himself down another blind alley. Becoming only the third Premier League team to come away from a game with Wolves carrying anything less than three points in their back pocket would be mortifying enough if it hadn’t come on the back of a win over Newcastle that had some giddy sorts even talking up unlikely title tilts. Eventually, we will all learn that there is no such thing as good form or bad form at Man United.…
Starlink will lower the orbits of roughly 4,400 satellites this year as a safety measure, according to engineering VP, Michael Nicolls. In a post on X, Nicolls wrote that the company is “beginning a significant reconfiguration of its satellite constellation,” in which all satellites orbiting at around 550 kilometers (342 miles) will be lowered to around 480 km (298 miles). The move is intended to reduce the risk of collisions, putting the satellites in a region that’s less cluttered and will allow them to deorbit more quickly should an incident occur.”Lowering the satellites results in condensing Starlink orbits, and will…

According to reports, Liverpool are ‘on the verge’ of completing their first signing of 2026 after Chelsea decided to ‘withdraw from the race’. Liverpool had a remarkable summer transfer window, spending over £400m on signings in a major squad overhaul after winning their 20th Premier League title. Head coach Arne Slot was given a huge budget to build his own team after getting the best out of Jurgen Klopp’s squad, with massive fees spent on acquiring Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. However, it is now clear that the Reds made too many changes in a single window as…
