George W. Bush likes to preach “moral clarity” in his foreign policy. And the moral imperative in Liberia, it seems, could not be clearer: step in and stop the killing. For a month now Bush has indicated he will, but on his own terms and in his own time: when the savage Taylor leaves the country for exile in Nigeria, and when a ceasefire is in place. Meanwhile the killing goes on, as a tenuous truce is broken again and again, and a besieged Taylor–the man once responsible for directing troops who hacked limbs off children–fights off rebels....

“There’s been a time for extreme experimentation in crypto, and that’s why it’s so important to get proper regulation, especially in the U.S.,” Harrison told CNBC’s Squawk Box program on Thursday. “Hopefully, one thing that we’ll get from this current crypto winter is coming out much stronger with better risk management, more reliable systems and companies,” he said. The cryptocurrency market has tumbled in recent weeks, an unexpected twist for investors who had been on a hot streak up until early this year, when a multitrillion-dollar slump in prices saw companies collapse and thousands of jobs disappear overnight....

A few days ago, Kotaku posted an article including a statement from game producer Ron Rosenberg that details the struggle of the iconic protagonist and femme fatale, Lara Croft. One thing led to another, and a slip of the tongue on Rosenberg’s part put “attempted rape” on the list of challenges Lara is to face in the prequel. His wording – specifically the part about Lara needing to be protected, as opposed to kicking ass – sent players into a flurry of angry rants about the game’s content, which is still almost a year from release...

Selhurst Park is always a difficult place to get a result and Manchester United will be wary of the threat Crystal Palace possesses.

They have the likes of Wilfred Zaha and Andros Townsend, who can punish the opposition with every opportunity they get....

Both teams will have different mindsets going into this game. CSK, who have already been eliminated, will look to give chances to the youngsters in their squad. However, this is a must-win game for KKR as the battle for the IPL 2020 playoffs is heating up, and the team doesn’t have such a good net run rate. The CSK bowlers read the pitch perfectly against RCB and bowled tight lines with no extra pace....

Having lost the previous two tosses, CSK skipper MS Dhoni’s luck with the coin changed as he put RCB in to bat first on a pitch which is again touted to not live up to Mumbai’s reputation for throwing up high-scoring encounters. CSK, who are on a three-match winning run, have made two changes to the line-up which got the better of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 18 runs on Wednesday....

“We condemn the US announced hypocritical and cynical designation of #Cuba as a State sponsoring terrorism,” Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez wrote Monday in a tweet referred to Newsweek by Havana’s embassy in Washington and permament mission to the United Nations in New York. “The US political opportunism is recognized by those who are honestly concerned about the scourge of terrorism and its victims,” he added. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the move in a statement published earlier Monday, just over a week before President Donald Trump’s term was set to end, bringing President-elect Joe Biden to office....

The park’s bleacher section was dismantled this offseason as part of the first phase of a $575 million renovation plan, bringing patio party sections, two jumbo video boards and advertising signage into the fold.

The All-Star shortstop has made quite an impact in his time with the Cubs, though. He was good enough at 21 years old to dislodge Starlin Castro from the shortstop position at Wrigley Field, and at 22 years old, he hit 21 homers and had 95 RBIs, made the All-Star team and helped the Cubs claim the franchise’s first World Series title since 1908. And, you might remember, Russell had a home run and six RBIs in that win-or-go-home Game 6 in Cleveland during that World Series....

The two heavyweights of Group D meet on Thursday, with Argentina having drawn 1-1 with Iceland in their opener and Croatia beating Nigeria 2-0. Neither game will be remembered as a classic encounter, but a win for Kovacic’s side against Argentina could potentially see them through to the knockout stages as group winners. That would be something of a shock given the pre-tournament billing given to Argentina, in particular Barcelona’s talisman Lionel Messi....

The 21-year-old was stretchered off in the second half of a 3-0 friendly defeat in Tallinn on Tuesday and following scans, Croatia released a statement detailing the need for surgery and an absence of “several months”. “After medical exams, we can confirm Marko Pjaca suffered a hard knee injury,” the statement read. “His cruciate ligament is damaged and he has to have surgery and several months’ recovery.” Pjaca has started just three games in all competitions in his first season with Juve, scoring once at Porto in the Champions League last 16....
