Michael Carrick silences growing doubters as Man Utd close in on Champions League
It took a first home defeat to Leeds since 1981 for the real moans to start.
The calmness previously viewed as an asset became a negative. Inaction was seen as conservative. All week the question has been asked, is Carrick up to the job?
Well, there was nothing aesthetically pleasing about this latest triumph.
But given only Ole Gunnar Solskjaer of all the post-Sir Alex Ferguson bosses had experienced the feeling of winning at Stamford Bridge, style was a secondary element.
Chelsea may have hit the woodwork three times. They may have carried the more consistent threat. But Carrick’s team was the one that delivered.
“It was a game for a result,” he said. “And we managed to find it.”
There was more to it though. There was overcoming the adversity of knowing that on top of the three central defenders he knew would be missing (Matthijs de Ligt through injury and Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire due to suspension), Carrick then lost a fourth, Leny Yoro, to a training ground injury.
That came so late in the week his chosen pairing, Noussair Mazraoui and Ayden Heaven, could only prepare with walk-throughs.
“I love when you see players thrive in those moments,” said Carrick.
Heaven, 19, had not started a game under Carrick, having first been given his chance by Ruben Amorim and then his immediate replacement Darren Fletcher.
“Ayden has not played a lot of football recently, and to come into that environment is not something that you can take for granted,” said Carrick.
“We say the same things to young players all the time. Sometimes they look at you as if to say, ‘yeah, good one’ but in terms of training every day and looking after yourself and being ready ‘because you never know when that chance comes’, he probably wouldn’t have thought it would come at that moment.
“But he was there, he was prepared, and he took it in his stride magnificently well.”
Appeals court allows White House ballroom construction to continue for now
A three-judge appeals court panel is allowing construction of President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom to continue — for now.
In a decision late Friday, the panel granted an administrative stay of an earlier injunction blocking above-ground construction of the White House ballroom.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that Trump can’t build the planned ballroom without authorization from Congress, prompting the White House to appeal the decision.

Leon revised his ruling this week — after the appeals court ruled that he needed to clarify his order — to say that security-related work could go on, particularly below ground.
The White House appealed Thursday’s order and three-judge appeals panel granted a stay of Leon’s order to give the judges time to consider the White House’s emergency motion for a broader, more lasting stay of Leon’s injunction.

“The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion,” the panel wrote in the order.
It’s unclear how long this administrative stay might remain in place. The appeals court has set oral arguments on the matter for June 5.
The White House announced the construction of the 90,000-square foot ballroom in late July, and demolition began suddenly on the East Wing in late October when workers were spotted tearing down the wing of the White House.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit in December seeking to stop the ballroom construction until the project completes the standard federal review process and the administration seeks public comment on the proposed changes to the White House.

Scams have grown more sophisticated, but people are fighting back
As governments across the world restricted the movements of their citizens during Covid lockdowns from 2020, people spent more time online. We bought more online and socialised more online, and this brought us closer to the people who want to scam us. At the same time, realistic video impersonations, voices, websites, and texts became more commonplace, and scammers increased their use of social media including WhatsApp.

Moscow-born gunman dead after Kyiv shooting rampage leaves at least 6 dead, 14 wounded: Zelenskyy
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Russian gunman was killed by special forces Saturday in Ukraine after opening fire at a supermarket in Kyiv, killing six people and wounding 14 others — including a 12‑year‑old boy.
The 58-year-old shooter long resided in the Donetsk region and was born in Moscow, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko.
He took at least four hostages, killed one of them, and fatally shot four others on the street, Zelenskyy said. Another woman died at a hospital from her injuries.
Graphic video captured by witnesses showed the gunman shooting at a victim within close range on the street. Other bodies were seen lying on the pavement and in courtyards.

Ukranian special forces stormed the convenience store after 40 minutes of failed negotiations, according to Klymenko.
At least fourteen people were wounded in the attack, though officials cautioned the number may rise as people continue to seek medical assistance.
Among the injured is a 12‑year‑old boy and a supermarket security guard, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

Zelenskyy said the shooter also set fire to an apartment prior to the attack, though it is unclear if any injuries resulted from the arson.
“My condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims,” Zelenskyy wrote in an X post. “…We wish all the wounded a swift recovery.”
The gunman had previously been prosecuted for criminal offenses, but held a valid weapons permit, according to authorities. Investigators from the National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine are investigating.

NHL star reveals he had a brutal bacterial lung infection during season: ‘I thought I was dying’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York Rangers star center Vincent Trocheck had a harrowing health scare early in the season.
Trocheck, 32, revealed to reporters that his 14-game absence at the start of the season was due to a bacterial infection in his lungs.
“I had some viral bacteria get into my lung and wasn’t sure what it was. This happened, I think, before the first game of the year. I thought I was just having back spasms, and then I played the first game,” Trocheck said.

“Got a little bit worse. Played in Buffalo. I got a cross-check right in that area, and whatever fluid was in there, it’s like bubbles, and I guess the bubble burst and it spread. So, then it just got a lot worse. I had a lot of fluid around my lung, so I had to have surgery to get the fluid removed.”
The two-time All-Star said he had chest tubes inserted and was in the hospital for about a week. He called it weird and wouldn’t call it an injury.
“It was very scary. I thought I was dying,” Trocheck said.

Trocheck, who starred on the penalty kill for Team USA during the Olympics and its gold medal run, said no one knows how the fluid emerged.
The Pittsburgh native played in 67 games this season, scoring 16 goals and adding 37 assists, good for 53 points. Trocheck found himself in the middle of trade talks around the deadline but ultimately was not moved.

While Trocheck wasn’t traded at the deadline, he still could be this offseason as the Rangers look to retool after finishing last in the Eastern Conference.
Trocheck just completed his fourth season with the Rangers and has three more seasons left on a seven-year, $39.375 million contract.
