@protect-daniel-james sleuthing under the cut (I typed it in my notes then realised it wouldn’t paste into comments of your post in the app, doh!

Ok, so to preface this when I first found myself crushing on Unai, I was like nope, just going to be chill, not like past crushes, soooo I’m certainly not going to operate a tumblr in his honour or be intrigued about his private life, nope, just admire…

That lasted until it didn’t, because nothing apparently intrigues me more than a mysterious man, so the part of me that digs being an unpaid FBI agent kicked in 😅

I’d read that story (from 2020) the London gf sold to the papers not long after he joined Villa, but (other than the football watching in bed stuff making me like him even more, despite the situation), I didn’t go back to that until mid December last year when curiosity got the better of me…

So there’s Luisa, his first wife, and her name is still out there as such, which is where a lot of the confusion comes from because he obviously openly talked about her and their son loads earlier in his career, then… nothing. I’ve seen her comment on his Instagram posts (usually when he’s pictured with Lander), and it seems like they’re still close and she seems sweet (they apparently quarantined together, I’ll come back to this shortly).

Then there’s Lucila (and for the love of god could he have picked a woman with a more similar name to his ex, didn’t he know amateur sleuths would get confused by this? So inconsiderate 😂). They appear to have been together at least since some point during his tenure at Sevilla (possibly well before that), definitely in Paris (she’s the ‘wife’ mentioned by the press when their apartment was burgled, and the one in that photo with him in the tux that gets labelled as Luisa), and then I guess she must have stayed in Spain or travelled back & forth a lot when he was hooking up with the lady in London. That gf seemed very convinced he was single and just didn’t want to settle down, so he must have been juggling two women & the Arsenal bin fire… (I mean that’s almost impressive tbh… I don’t have enough energy for my own very low key life lol).

A couple of months after the original story dropped there’s that article where its revealed he’d been dating a woman long term back in Spain at the same time, that her name is Lucila, and that friends said they’d been together 10+ years at that point. Now whilst reading through the comments (deranged way to waste time, yeesh) on the Daily Mail version of the London gf’s original story I spotted an interesting one: someone clearly knew his situation well and said they’d lived near him in London, that the reason he hadn’t introduced the gf was because he was long term with Lucila who is Argentinian (this is about two months before any info about her comes out into the press so they clearly knew a fair bit), that she’s rude (I hope not, but they commented on her appearance too so bitter commenter maybe?), that she’d given up on having children because of him, and that they’d been together since he’d split from his wife who he was quarantining with back in Spain at that point.

So yes, I then clocked it’s Lucila in the Hondarribia medal ceremony video, so they obviously patched up after his�� dalliance in London.

Little bit more goss and it’s a big/sweet one:

They have a baby! She must be about a year old now. When I was down this wormhole I was intrigued enough to have a gander on Instagram to see if she had a profile, and it’s private but at the time she had a profile photo of her holding the baby at VP 🥹 When I was at the final game the other week I was fairly close to the tunnel and spotted her hand him the baby as he came off the pitch (I’m honestly surprised no one else clocked that or thought enough of it to post anything on Twitter or whatever).

Annnnd… just to add to the theme… One of Lucila’s surnames is Vila 😂 Of course it is 😂 She has the name Valentina in her profile so I’m assuming that’s the daughter’s name? But I hope that’s the maternal name she’s passed on because how perfect?🥲

I’ve been keeping that under my hat for a while (and will probably delete/private this post in a day or so once you’ve read it). He’s clearly so private and guarded now post Arsenal and all that stuff coming out. Talk about an enigma wrapped in a mystery 👀

If the Matt smith Olivia cooke rumors r true he has legendary game cuz she is like the most beautiful woman I've ever seen

he DOES have legendary game tho dude like this is just a fucking fact atp. Not counting hookups, here are some of the women he's had relationships with:

Billie Piper

Lily James

Daisy Lowe

Mayana Moura

Caroline Brady (who's not only hot af but the VP of a major hedge fund lol so she's clearly smart and shit too)

P sure he also dated/went on dates with:

Emilia Clarke

Alexa Chung

Lili Gattyan

Jeanne Moret

Sophie Russell (could've actually worked idk they were set up by a mutual friend and they could be in the top category where they did have a relationship)

Emma Laird lol

Likely had affairs/hookups with:

Karen Gillan

Claire Foy

THAT'S ACTUALLY JUST WHAT I REMEMBER LMAO THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER RANDOMS DUDES AND THEY ARE ALWAYS HOT AND/OR SUCCESSFUL

THIS DUDE HAS UNSPEAKABLE FUCKING GAME!!!!!

So yes I buy the Olivia Cooke thing lol also because with Lily, Emilia, Emma Laird, Claire and Karen he met them all through work and I think he and Emilia did try actually date and he and Claire had an affair vibe and him and Karen were hooking up FWB style and him and Emma I think went on a date or two or three or whatever but yea idk he shits where he eats regularly.

also I’ve had arguments with people saying he was just friends with Claire and Karen and Emilia but he’s… seemingly not friends with any of them anymore lol? Karen and him I don’t think were ever official or trying to be, I legit think they were just hooking up/FWB, but they were very fucking close - not just when they were on the show but even after. Like in fact even after he went off the show completely and Peter took over, they still went to each other’s houses all the time and knew each other’s families really well and also used to be like crazy physically intimate with one another - and then he wasn’t at her wedding which… given they were legit like besties and all over each other in very very stalker pap type pics (drunk Spain night lol you will forever be in my dreams) is weird to me. You can drift apart from someone obv but if you were such close friends for a good few years, you generally make an effort to make their wedding lol. Unless you were besties who also banged. In which case yes kinda weird for u to be at the wedding.

But also what’s so funny to me is for like the last 5 years he's been saying he wants to get married and have kids and I'm like DUDE maybe STOP BANGING SO MANY WOMEN if that's legit what you want???? Fucking fuckboi of note lol.

Tony Stark x Southern reader 18+

This one took forever to write! If there's something wrong with the last two paragraphs it's cause I was trying to fall asleep while writing. Anyways this one's kinda long but it should be a fun read for yall.

18+ Under the cut

------------------------------

Tony wasn't happy right now. In fact he dreaded this trip down south. Pepper had told him this was a "mandatory" meeting with VP's in North carolina but he knew better. Really she just wanted him to relax some from his stressful jobs as both a CEO and the head of the Avengers. If he wanted a vacation he would've gone to Bali or Spain for the week not some city in North carolina of all places! When he Stepped out of the jet the air felt like pea soup. It was extremely humid out just having rained. He quickly got into the car to head to the company office.

The meeting was boring to say the least. He mainly just sat through it not paying much attention to what they were saying. After everything was taken care of and the meeting concluded they invited him for drinks. He reluctantly went along with them and after two fancy drinks he decided to leave the high end lounge bar. He took a stroll down the street and a few minutes later he spotted a bar with a big neon guitar above the entrance. With his curiosity peaked he crossed the street and walked inside getting a bunch of weird looks from the patrons. It made sense though as he was still in his expensive suit with his hair slicked back. He sat on one of the well used bar stools at the long wood bar and shucked off his suit jacket. With the jacket on his lap he removed his shades slipping them in his shirt pocket.

The old juke box was playing soft country music at the back of the room. You walked over and handed him a menu of more high end options expecting him to get something fancy but all he asked for was a whiskey on the rocks. "Where ya from Mr?" "New York city, how about you? You from around here?" "Not here specifically, I was born and raised in a small town about a two hour drive from here." You were gorgeous with your long hair and little to no makeup. You were wearing a tight T-shirt with the bar name across the front. "What's your name gorgeous?" "I'm y/n how bout you?" "Tony." "Well it's nice to meet ya Tony." When you said his name it was like the word was dripping honey. Your thick drawl was only something he'd ever heard in movies but even they didn't hold a candle to how nice you sounded when you talked. "By the way nice T- shirt. You think I could talk you out of it?" You smile while preparing his drink.

Pushing his drink to him you lean over the bar, your chest showing in the v-neck of your shirt. "Honey if you wanna ride this Bronco you'll have to try harder than that." Your eyes had a sparkle to them and they drew him in. For the first time in a long time he was speechless. Another patron walked in and sat at the bar a few seats down interrupting your little moment. As he watched you taking their order he loosened his tie and took a sip of his whiskey, the burn travels into his chest warming him up a bit. You turned around and bent over to the mini fridge that held craft beers taking one and handing it to the guy. The guy grabbed a hold of your wrist grinning at you. "Ain't you a purdy little thing." The man was rough looking to say the least, he was missing some teeth and by the looks of him a heavy smoker. You smiled at him politely and tried to pull your hand free but he wouldn't let go. "Maybe we can go have some fun later just you and me huh?" Tony bristled in his seat his fist clenching as he debated wether he should intervene. When he saw the disgust and panic on your beautiful face his body took over. He walked over and grabbed the man's wrist that gripped yours making the guy let go. He fisted the man's shirt almost pulling him out of his seat and got in his face. "You touch her again and I'll personally shove that can up your a**!" The man nodded fearfully and fell out of his seat to the floor. He scrambled to his feet and without a second glance ran out the door.

You had a relieved expression on your face as you looked at him. "Thank you darlin' !" "No problem gorgeous." That made you chuckle giving him a boost of confidence. Would you like to go out somewhere tomorrow, with me? Trust me I'm not anything like that creep." A small blush formed on your cheeks and you fiddled with the hem of your shirt. "I'd love too Tony." That made him beam with happiness. "Where would you want to go? Anywhere in particular?" "Um...yeah actually, I know a place just outside of town." "Great I'll give you my number so you can call me. When would you want to go?" "I'd say around 6pm is that alright with you?" "Yeah that's perfect actually. I'll call and get your adress then." You hand him a napkin with your number. He leans over the bar and takes your hand giving it a kiss. "Have a goodnight y/n." With that he finishes his drink and hands you the money before walking out. His jacket slung over his shoulder.

He called Happy letting him know that he needed to be picked up and waited on the sidewalk. The drive to the hotel was uneventful and he was ready to sleep off his minor jet lag. Tomorrow he had another meeting though it was for charity so he wasn't as mad about that. As he got into bed he took out the folded napkin and put in your number adding it to his contacts. Satisfied he finally settled in and whent to sleep.

The next day at the charity event all he could think of was his date with you in the evening. He was curious as to where you wanted to go. You hadn't specified then, but he'd ask again later.

When the event ended he had a few hours to kill so he did what he usually did. Working on his suits. But he had a hard time focusing, his mind kept wandering back to you. By the time he needed to call you he hadn't gotten much done. He dialed your number and waited for you to pick up. "Hey Tony!" "Hello beautiful." You gave him your address and after a bit of a talk you both hung up. You told him to wear something laid back and casual so he pulled out one of his band T's and a red plaid button up along with dark jeans. He had ordered a rental car that wasn't too expensive or fancy looking which had been dropped off an hour ago. Jarvis helped him get to your place and as soon as he pulled into the driveway you stepped out of the house. You had your own band T on and some well used bell bottom blue jeans. Your boots thudded on the concrete as you jogged to the passenger side door. He reached over and pushed the door open for you. Once you were buckled up he reversed out the driveway. "So where did you want to go? You didn't say yesterday."

"Oh right it's a country bar not far from here. You told him the name and Jarvis pulled up the directions. It was easy enough to get there. As soon as you saw the familiar neon cowboy sign you grew excited. The parking area was made of gravel with wooden bumpers marking the parking spaces. He pulled into a spot under the lone light pole that lit up most of the parking lot. You didn't bother to wait for him and you walked up next to the trunk of the car. The music was loud enough for you both to hear outside. He hooked his arm with yours and headed inside. There was a good number of people. Some dancing to the band on the small stage and others at the bar or tables drinking and conversing. You pulled him over to an empty table in the corner and waved over one of the waitresses. The older woman handed you both menus and utensils asking what you'd like to drink. "I'll have a sweet tea." "And I'll have coke." The lady nods and walks away leaving you to look at the menu. A little while later you're both eating and enjoying the music. "I've got to hand it to you this was a great choice for a date. Usually women want something fancier." "Well I ain't most women."

You tossed a fry into your mouth before loud hollering caught your attention. Excitedly you hopped off your stool pulling Tony along with you to the crowd gatherd in front of the stage. The band started to play the familiar tune of (Jason Aldean- that's my kinda party). Swaying your hips you turned to Tony and took his hands in your's. It took him a minute to get into the rhythm but he soon got the hang of it. He spun you pulling you to him by the waist. The song was winding down and with a few more moves he took you by the waist and dipped you like some of the other couples had done earlier. You giggle at his grinning face. The band started to play (Midland- Mr.Lonely). Everyone got into line's on the dance floor and started to line dance. It was a simple enough dance and you showed Tony how to do it. By the end of the song you both were tuckered out. You took your seats back at the table and finished your food, talking about random topics you found interesting. Having finished your food and a couple of beers it had gotten late. The bar was a bit more empty and the atmosphere had wound down. The band had started to play softer music and the next song caught your attention. (Jason Aldean- Tonight looks good on you). "Come on Tony let's dance again!" The slow song relaxes you and Tony pulls you into him by the waist, one hand in yours as you sway along.

In the low light of the bar his arc reactor shines through the fabric of his shirt. Curiously you lightly touch the raised material with your fingers. The dim blue glow shines on your face and he's mesmerized by you. When you look up to him your eyes lock with his, the dark green pulling you in. He pulls you flush against him and your lips connect. His hand comes up to caress your jaw. His thumb brushing across your cheek. The kiss is deep and full of passion. You slowly pull away eyes half lidded and blushing. "What do you say we get out of here?" You smile and rest your head on his chest as he holds you close. "Hmm... yeah let's go." You hold onto his arm as you leave and he opens your door for you like a perfect gentleman. He places his hand on your thigh as he drives back to your place. His hands are on you as soon as the door locks, pressing you against the wall his lips on yours. You hook your arms around his neck pulling on his short black locks. He breaks away to take off his button up and shirt leaving his torso bare. You remove your own top allowing him to remove your bra for you. The release of tension from the bra makes you sigh contentedly. You let your hands roam over him tracing the ring of his arc reactor. He shudders at the sensation and you kiss his neck leaving a mark.

With you pulling at his waist band he unbuttons and shucks off his jeans. You remove your own leaving the two of you in your underwear. He gripps the backs of your thighs and pushes you against the wall again. His tongue glides across your teeth as he kisses you asking for entrance. You grant him access and his tongue wraps around yours. He grinds his hips into you making you gasp. With you clinging to him he moves to the couch gently laying you down. He slips your underwear off and places a kiss to your knee, his hand caressing your thigh. Pushing your legs apart he goes down on you, expertly lapping his tongue through your folds. Your hands tangle in his hair as your back arches off the couch. "To-Tony! Don't stop!" He loves the sound of your voice and that strong drawl that only seems to get stronger with his ministratons. Moans rumble in his throat when you pull his hair adding to your pleasure. When he runs his tongue over your button you mewl in bliss. He suddenly sucks your sensitive bud into his mouth gently rolling it on his tongue.

You see white as your body locks up white hot pleasure shoots through you. It's so intense that you can't even scream. When he feels your body tense he moves to lap up the juices pouring from you like aquarius' hydria. When your body relaxes and your juices stop flowing he gently cleans you then sits up. When you see his face you let out a tired laugh. His chin is shiny with your slick, and he licks his lips trying to clean himself up a bit. Satisfied he pulls down his underwear and gets back on top of you. You wrap your arms around him and pull him down to kiss you, tasting yourself on him. He slips on a condom from his pants and gathers some of your slick on him. Once he's sure he's well lubricated he gently pushes his tip past your entrance, hissing at the heat and pressure slowly enveloping him. His hands on your hips grip you tight as he pushes into you. You hold him tight to you, moaning in his ear. He fully sheaths himself in you and allows you to adjust. Nuzzling into his neck you give him the ok to move. He kisses your racing pulse and licks your throat making you squeeze around him. Grunts and growls tumble from his lips as he thrusts into you. Those animalistic sounds drive you closer to the edge again. He finds a rhythm that you seem to prefer and sticks to it trying to give you as much pleasure as possible.

You mewl and moan in his ear as he thrusts a bit sharper, adjusting to hit you at a different angle. He curses as you squeeze around him tighter and rake your nails across his back. He'll definitely have scabs on his back by tomorrow. With a few well angled thrusts he feels you tense up under him, your core pulsing and massaging his length. When you mewl in bliss he releases filling the condom with hot white ropes. You moan at the heat filling you, digging your nails into his skin. "AH! TONY!" He growls in your neck possessively, nipping at your skin. When he stops pumping into you he relaxes on top of you. You're both spent and just want to sleep. Tony reluctantly pulls out of you and goes down the hall to the bathroom to toss out the condom. He brings back a warm damp washcloth and gently cleans you up before carrying you bridal style to your bedroom. With the covers over your naked bodies you snuggle up and fall into a deep sleep.

He wasn't so mad about coming on this trip now.

One of the presidential candidates in Spain (pray that we don't fall to fascism soon lmao) said that she wants to reduce the work week to 32hrs/week without reducing pay, and you know, electoral promises that probably won't come through (though this candidate has a good track record as a former minister and VP in labour matters) and idiots for some reason are arguing against that? Like working class overexploited people who make minimum wage??? Why would you argue against working LESS?

Kudos to Spain for recognising the state of Palestine. There is a growing voice in the German Parliament to do the same, which is a good thing. But I doubt Spain's VP has thought the usage of the phrase "from river to see, Palestine will be free" through.

A two state solution is the only viable option for an enduring, if tense peace between Israel and Palestine. The phrase "from rive to see..." does not appear to consider such a solution.

#CEASEFIRE NOW!#TWO STATE SOLUTION NOW!#Fuck Netanyahu #Fuck Hamas #while not exactly the same situation #I do recommend y'all read up on The Partition of India into a predominantly muslim Pakistan; and a predominantly hindu India

[ad_1] Source ( LET) New Delhi, October 10, 2024:* The current Ladies European Tour Order of Merit leader, Chiara Tamburlini of Switzerland, heads a strong field for Hero Women’s Indian Open 2024, which will be held from October 24-27 at the DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram. The region’s premier event, offering a total purse of US$ 400,000, will witness the return of nine players who secured spots within the Top 10 during the 2023 edition. The international field will face a formidable challenge from the strong Indian contingent, comprising Diksha Dagar, who secured third place last year, and Gaurika Bishnoi, who finished eighth. The three former champions in the field are Christine Wolf (2019), Camille Chevalier (2017) and Caroline Hedwall (2011). The field is further bolstered by the participation of several notable players, including Trichat Cheenglab of Thailand, the winner of the 2023 Order of Merit. Another former OOM winner, Lee Anne Pace of South Africa, who claimed the LET top spot in 2010, will also be competing. Additionally, the 2010 winner, Caroline Hedwall, who received the honour of Players Player of the Year in 2011, will be present. Swiss golfer Tamburlini is making waves in the world of golf as an exciting prospect. During her rookie year, she achieved remarkable individual success claiming two victories: Joburg Ladies Open in April and the Lacoste Open de France just two weeks ago. Most recently, Tamburlini showcased her leadership skills as she guided her team to victory at the Aramco Team Series Shenzhen, securing the team honours. The Hero Women’s Indian Open, established in 2007, anticipates a formidable challenge from Indian participants who aim to capitalize on their remarkable performance in the 2023 edition, where three Indian golfers secured positions within the top 10. Among the top ten Indian finishers in 2023, Diksha, a two-time winner on LET, and Gaurika Bishnoi, a multiple winner on the Hero WPG Tour in India, are notable. Additionally, amateur Avani Prashanth, who tied for fifth place last year, also made the list. Avani, who has previously competed numerous times as an amateur, returns to her beloved event for the first time as a professional. She has been bestowed the honour of a special invitation to the event, where she will make her professional debut. A lot of winners from the ongoing 2024 season have confirmed their entries. They include a talented duo from England: Alice Hewson (VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open winner), and Amy Taylor (Ladies Italian Open victor). Also joining the field are Perrine Delacour from France (Dormy Open Helsingborg), Belgium’s Manon De Roey (Investec SA Women’s Open champion), and Shannon Tan from Singapore (Magical Kenya Ladies Open champion). The seven-time LET winner, Caroline Hedwall, who won last in 2022 at Andalucia Costa Del Sol in Spain, is one of the most prominent returnees, having won the event in her rookie year in 2011. She has since then finished runner-up three times – in 2012 (to Pornanong Phatlum), 2018 (tied second with 3 others) and 2022 (tied second with India’s Amandeep Drall). Hedwall, who has also played the Solheim Cup, calls Hero Women’s Indian Open title as one of her favourite events, one of the four wins she had in her rookie year in 2011. While Hedwall won once and was runner-up three other times, Christine Wolf was T-2 in 2018 and then won in 2019. A number of players in this field will be looking to snatch their first Hero Women’s Indian Open title after having finished runner-up in the past. Other players in the field who have finished second or tied second but never won include Sara Kjellker (2023), Amandeep Drall (2022), Marianne Skarpnord (2019), Michelle Thompson (2017) and Hannah Burke (2014).

Secuoya Studios President and Former Ambassador Discusses Spain’s Journey to Become Europe’s Hollywood

James Costos, President of Secuoya Studios and former U.S. Ambassador to Spain, recently participated in a panel at the Iberseries & Platino Industria event in Madrid, where he addressed Spain's ambition to become the "Hollywood of Europe." Costos, along with industry leaders, discussed Spain’s evolving entertainment landscape and the opportunities within the Ibero-American market.

During the panel, questions regarding the appeal of the Ibero-American market for U.S. studios were raised, touching on aspects such as lower production costs, collaboration with local talent, and potential co-production agreements. Costos expressed optimism about Spain’s trajectory, which was highlighted by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's earlier aspirations for the country.

He noted, “Spain has a wealth of natural beauty, diverse locations, and favorable weather, making it an attractive destination for filming.” Costos emphasized that significant reforms in fiscal incentives are necessary to spur economic growth and job creation, benefiting both Spain and U.S. companies looking to invest there. He praised the government's efforts to streamline bureaucracy and expedite shooting permit approvals.

Secuoya Studios is actively promoting Spain as a premier production destination, offering top-notch infrastructure and a variety of projects, from films and scripted series to unscripted content. Costos underscored the importance of attracting as much business as possible, stating, “We want that business to land here,” highlighting the increasing interest from U.S. companies over the past four years.

Additionally, Costos described Spain as “a goldmine for developing localized stories,” noting the talent and skills available in the country. However, he cautioned that Hollywood's pre-existing relationships in other regions sometimes lead to shortcuts that overlook Spain's potential.

Georgina Gonzalez, VP of Global Scripted Series at Universal International Studios, reiterated the significance of creating content that resonates with Spanish culture from the outset. She cited upcoming projects, including The Day of the Jackal, featuring notable talents like Eddie Redmayne and Money Heist star Úrsula Corberó.

Reflecting on the success of Money Heist, Costos explained that the show's universal themes and authentic Spanish roots contributed to its global appeal. He concluded, “It resonated because it had themes that connected with audiences beyond Spain, offering a unique cultural experience.”

As Spain continues its quest to solidify its status as Europe’s entertainment hub, industry leaders remain hopeful about the collaborative potential and growth opportunities within the region.

Tim Walz — a source said. Other candidates being considered are Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. So what does Harris want in a running mate? The campaign wants someone who will appeal to the same voters whom President Joe Biden would have brought to the table (such as white men and suburban women), as well as someone who can appeal to white men who don’t like former President Donald Trump but question whether they want to vote for Harris, sources said.Read the full story here, and follow our live blog for updates from the 2024 election.Read more: A women’s floor final full of twists and turnsThe final week of the 2024 Olympics are already off to a memorable start, with a few shockers to cap the women’s gymnastics competition and final lineups set in track and field, soccer and more. Simone Biles won the silver medal in the floor exercise, bringing her final Paris medal count to four: three golds and one silver. She failed to medal after falling off the balance beam (teammate Suni Lee also fell off the beam, ending her run in Paris without one last medal). Despite retirement rumors, Biles left open the possibility of competing in Los Angeles in 2028. And in a dramatic twist, Biles’ U.S. teammate Jordan Chiles won the bronze in the floor exercise after appealing her original score. She initially placed fifth but submitted an inquiry to the judges about a skill called the Gogean (a split leap with a 1.5-turn) and received a tenth back on her final score. The risky move was enough to get her a spot on the podium and her first individual Olympic medal. Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade ultimately earned the floor exercise gold to become her nation’s most decorated Olympian. (See her routine here.) Her triumph gave way to one more moment to remember: During the medal ceremony, Biles and Chiles bowed to Andrade in a show of admiration.

In men’s soccer, Spain and host country France will square off for gold after Spain’s come-from-behind win over Morocco and France’s two game-sealing goals in extra time versus Egypt.

Yesterday, an official said Israel was bracing for a multiday attack, and Biden convened his national security team to discuss how to prevent a wider Middle East war. Here’s what else we know.

The long-awaited decision is a victory for regulators, who argued that the tech giant controls certain markets by coercing users to make Google their default search engine and overplacing its own ads in search results.In its ruling, the court said that these methods have created impassable barriers for rival companies to compete in the search space and allowed Google to sustain its dominance.
