Chelsea and Inter are approaching an agreement over striker Romelu Lukaku, 90min understands. Lukaku has turned down a move to Saudi Arabia and is adamant that he only wants to play for Inter next season - a stance which has only endeared him further to the Serie A side. Chelsea are happy to part ways with Lukaku this summer but have rejected Inter's attempts to secure another loan deal, with the Blues pushing for a commitment from Inter to purchase the striker outright. The stumbling block, however, has been Inter's precarious financial situation. The Nerazzurri do not currently have the money to fund a permanent transfer but are instead looking at a loan deal which would include an obligation to sign Lukaku next summer. While Chelsea would prefer a permanent sale now, sources close to the negotiations expect a compromise to be reached imminently, with all three parties keen to see Lukaku playing for Inter next season.

A 32-year-old Boston woman is facing criminal charges for allegedly enrolling and posing as a student in three Boston high schools, court records show. A 32-year-old Boston woman is facing criminal charges for allegedly enrolling and posing as a student in three Boston high schools, court records show. Shelby Hewitt, of Canton, Massachusetts, reportedly went by the name Ellie and had recently enrolled at English High School, before school administrations uncovered issues with her enrollment paperwork in mid-June, according to a police incident report. Administrators began investigating the case after a man who claimed to be the father of Ellie said he was withdrawing her due to bullying, according to the police report. The administrators found that "odd" because she had enrolled the week prior and were "concerned that there may be some sort of custodial issue with the parents," according to the report. In this screen grab from a video, The English High School is s...

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of midfielder Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea.

For the first time since 2019 (and for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic), Major League Baseball has headed back to London. On the heels of a 2- Game set between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox 4 years ago, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals are playing a pair this weekend.

Asian shares have fallen sharply after several central banks around the world cranked interest rates higher in their fight against inflation BANGKOK -- Asian shares sank sharply Friday after several central banks around the world cranked interest rates higher in their fight against inflation. Hong Kong and Tokyo shed nearly 2% and most other regional markets declined. U.S. futures and oil prices also were lower. Japan reported its inflation rate was higher than expected, adding to expectations the central bank might adjust its policies to reflect upward price pressures, which have pushed the dollar's value against the yen sharply higher. The Bank of Japan has kept its benchmark interest rate at minus 0.1% for a decade as policymakers keep credit cheap to encourage more investment and spending. The core inflation rate, excluding volatile energy and food prices, was 3.2% in May, above the official 2% target for a 14th straight month, the government reported. “We think there are signs...

Speakers at the Writers Guild of America's WGA Strong March and Rally for a Fair Contract on Wednesday emphasized the broad support for their cause shown by other Hollywood unions — including actors in their own contract negotiations — and labor at large. “We’re all in it together, we’re all fighting the same fight, for a sustainable job in the face of corporate greed,” Adam Conover, a writer and a member of the guild’s board and its negotiating committee, told a crowd at the end of the march at the La Brea Tar Pits. “We are going to win because they need us.

A series of threatening letters containing a mysterious white powder is raising concerns that Republican lawmakers in Kansas are being targeted. A series of threatening letters containing a mysterious white powder is raising concerns that Republican lawmakers in Kansas and across the nation who received them are being targeted by someone cryptically calling themselves "your secret despirer," according to authorities and recipients of the letters. Since Friday, about 100 letters have been received by Kansas GOP lawmakers and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, who is also a Republican, officials said. The list of intended recipients of white powder letters is growing and expanding beyond Kansas, federal law enforcement sources told ABC News. Similar letters containing a cryptic note and a “suspicious powdery substance” were addressed to former President Donald Trump, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and other high-profile individuals, though the U.S. Postal Inspection Se...

HONG KONG -- Chinese consumers snapped up billions worth of items in China's first major online shopping festival after emerging from the pandemic as merchants slashed prices, but analysts say that consumer confidence still remains weak. Chinese merchants offered customers steep discounts during the 618 shopping festival , which ran on China’s major shopping platforms from the end of May until June 18, in the hopes of shoring up sales amid a weaker-than-expected recovery in consumption. Major shopping festivals, like e-commerce retailer JD.com’s 618 and Alibaba’s Singles’ Day, are typically barometers of consumption in China, and Chinese e-commerce platforms often participate by offering discounts and incentives to consumers. ...
