Rooney claimed coach lacked ‘aura’ to manage club
‘Jürgen Klopp and me both won the league’
Arne Slot has responded to Wayne Rooney’s claim that the Liverpool head coach does not have the “aura” to manage the club by pointing to his Premier League title success last season.
Rooney questioned Slot’s suitability for the job, telling The Overlap: “I have met him a few times. He was a nice fella but I just don’t think, for Liverpool, he’s got that aura about him. Maybe this is because you have just come off the back of Jürgen Klopp and it’s going to be difficult for anyone to have that, but I just don’t think there’s that aura about him.”

Arsenal visit Tottenham in Premier League on Sunday
Mikel Arteta has insisted the word “bottlers” is not in his vocabulary and that Arsenal must take criticism “on the chin” after surrendering a 2-0 lead against the bottom side, Wolves, in midweek.
With Manchester City facing Newcastle on Saturday night, the Premier League leaders could have their advantage over Pep Guardiola’s side cut to two points by the time they play at Tottenham on Sunday.

Tudor insists ‘we have enormous quality in the squad’
Igor Tudor has said Tottenham are in “an emergency situation” but issued a guarantee that his new team would escape relegation.
Tudor is a veteran of short-term appointments and has performed rescue jobs at Udinese, Verona and Juventus. He offered a curt “100%” in response to questions on his confidence in Spurs’s survival. The Croat’s tenure begins on Sunday with a north London derby at home to the wobbling Premier League leaders, though a lengthy injury list leaves him with only 13 fit senior players.

The US’s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has contended to the podcaster Tucker Carlson that Israel has a biblical right to take over the entire Middle East – or at least the lion’s share of it.
“It would be fine if they took it all,” Huckabee said to Carlson during an interview posted on Friday. The Trump administration appointee and former Arkansas governor discussed with Carlson interpretations of Old Testament scripture within the US Christian nationalist movement.

A federal judge in Virginia on Friday declined to immediately rule on the Washington Post’s request for the government to return devices seized from reporter Hannah Natanson in a January raid of her home.
But the judge, William B. Porter of the eastern district of Virginia, acknowledged the enormity and significance of the seizure during the afternoon hearing. “Ms Natanson has basically been deprived of her life’s work,” he said.

A Republican mayor in Ohio is facing criminal allegations after authorities say he was recorded on a concealed camera smelling an underage girl’s underwear.
An incident report from the Richland county sheriff’s Office details the accusations against Wesley Dingus, 48, who serves as mayor of Butler. The claims came from a juvenile who had been staying at his residence.

It is refreshing to witness the US supreme court recover its spine and stand up to Donald Trump’s most extreme caprices. The 6-3 decision on Friday to strike down his barrage of tariffs on imports from virtually everywhere based on the preposterous argument that they addressed national emergencies will reassure the world that the US’s system of government – based on the separation of powers, checks and balances, and the rule of law – has not collapsed entirely.
But let’s hold the (imported) champagne. The court’s ruling will not restore the United States to its former place as a reasonable, trustworthy player in the world economy. The rules-based economic architecture that underpinned the integration of the world economy over the decades that followed the second world war remains fractured. Trump is still intent on its disintegration. And he retains power to do so.

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De Nationale Politie heeft de kritische blik van Bits of Freedom gebruikt om de werkwijze aan te passen. Dat zei plaatsvervangend korpschef Wilbert Paulissen in een videoboodschap bij de uitreiking van de Big Brother Awards, de 'prijs' voor de grootste privacyschenders van 2025.
"Je bent nooit blij dat je een prijs als deze wint, maar het is altijd goed dat er kritisch meegekeken wordt naar het handelen van de politie. En ik vind het ook mooi om hier te melden dat we op basis van die kritische blik onze werkwijze aangepast hebben en hier nu anders mee omgaan", aldus Paulissen. "Het gaat over het evenwicht tussen de bescherming van de privacy van mensen en onze taak als het gaat over het waarborgen van de veiligheid. Daar zit een soort spanningsveld tussen."
De Nationale Politie won met 30 procent van de stemmen de publieksprijs. Aanleiding was het monitoren van activisten via sociale media en ze vervolgens thuis opzoeken zonder wettelijke grondslag. Intimiderend, vindt Bits of Freedom.
