Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank said officials made a “huge mistake” in allowing Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike to score and Spurs lost 2-1. Ekitike doubled Liverpool’s lead midway through the second half with a header past Tottenham captain Cristian Romero, but Frank said the striker stuck his hands behind the defender. Sky Sports’ Gary Neville said in co-commentary that it was “not a foul”, but Frank felt it was the worst decision the referee had made in a game where Spurs finished with nine men. “I can’t believe it, it’s a big mistake,” Frank told Sky Sports. “I think there are…
There is no longer hunger in the Gaza Strip, the UN-backed famine watchdog said on Friday, as humanitarian aid poured into the strip following a ceasefire agreed in October between Israel and Hamas. The Integrated Food Security Stage Classification (IPC) stated that “the food security situation in the Gaza Strip has improved following a significant reduction in conflict, a proposed peace plan, and improved access to humanitarian and commercial food deliveries.” “No area is classified as famine,” it added. In August, the world watchdog announced that parts of Gaza were officially suffering from “man-made” famine. However, the organization noted that…

Seoul, South Korea — South Korea wants to join the undersea naval elite – and has received the blessing of US President Donald Trump to do just that. Having Seoul become the seventh country in the world operating nuclear-powered submarines – joining the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom and India – could be a win-win. South Korea could more effectively counter North Korean or Chinese moves in the waters around the Korean Peninsula; and that would free up the US Navy’s nuclear-powered attack subs to concentrate on patrols in hot spots like the South China Sea and…

Manila — The father and son suspected of carrying out Sunday’s Bondi Beach massacre spent most of their month-long stay in the Philippines in November holed up in a hotel, rarely leaving their room and eating fast food, a hotel employee told CNN.

Crystal Palace’s tough week was made worse by a 4-1 defeat at Leeds, who were six points clear of the bottom three, after manager Oliver Glasner’s decision to give his first team a midweek rest backfired. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was once again the star of the show, scoring a superb first-half double and scoring in five consecutive league games, tying the longest streak by a Leeds player in Premier League history. But Palace, who have already qualified for the Conference League play-offs and lost 3-0 to Man City last weekend, continued their dismal post-European form at the worst possible time, with…
