This is the second Tronsmart Android TV box we’ve reviewed, having previously seen the Tronsmart Draco HW80. This one is not only cheaper, at £59.81 from Geekbuying.com, but there are several reasons why we prefer it. (Also see our advice on buying grey-market tech.) Tronsmart Pavo M9 review: Design and build The plastic Pavo M9 is surprisingly better-looking than the metal Draco HW80. A sleek black box with rounded corners, this smaller Tronsmart Android TV box omits the ugly antenna seen poking out of the Draco’s rear....

Bursaspor’s Troost-Ekong and Chelsea wing-back Moses were part of the 30-man nominees announced last month but the defender has been phased out after votes from the necessary quarters to pick the best 11 players. Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane alongside Gabon and Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang are also in the running for the prestigious individual award. Al Ahly and former Nigeria youth international Junior Ajayi made the cut for 10-man shortlist for the African Best Player based in Africa....

Smith was a talented player in San Francisco, being named first-team All-Pro in 2012 along with NFC Defensive Player of the Year, but his off-field issues became too much this offseason. Following his third DUI arrest, the Niners cut ties with Smith in August.

So when Gianluca Vialli helped to launch Tifosy, Stevenage FC super fans seized the opportunity and banded together to invest £600,000 in building a new stand for the club they love. “I’ve lived here for 60 odd years, since 1954, since I was a baby, I’ve grown up here,” Carol Le Grand told Goal. “I just decided to put my money where my mouth was to support local sport.”...

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Seven-times grand slam champion Venus Williams advanced to the third round at Melbourne Park on Wednesday with a 6-3 6-2 win over Stefanie Voegele but conceded she was still troubled by an elbow injury that forced her to pull out of the women’s doubles. The 13th-seeded American, who had been scheduled to team up with sister Serena, was close to tears as she talked about the injury that also saw her skip her only warm-up tournament in Auckland two weeks ago....

“Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq,” the president explained. “Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far!” Initial reports indicate no American casualties from the ballistic missile strikes, which targeted the Ayn al-Assad air base in Iraq’s western majority-Sunni province, and a facility near Erbil airport in the semi-autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan region....

Trump claimed in a radio interview with Brexit Party leader and friend Nigel Farage that “certain aspects” of the current Brexit withdrawal agreement would hinder trade. “We want to do trade with U.K., and they want to do trade with us,” Trump told Farage in a phone call on U.K. radio station LBC on Thursday. “To be honest with you, this deal, under certain aspects of the deal… you can’t do it, you can’t do it, you can’t trade....

The new 837-page rule, which was long pushed by Trump aide Stephen Miller and will go into effect on October 15, is based off wording in the Immigration Act of 1882, which says that the U.S. government can deny access to anyone they deem likely to become a “public charge.” Congress and the federal government, however, never defined what it meant to be a public charge before. This rule changes that....

D’Souza said in a post on Trump’s Truth Social platform that this is because “Christianity redeems nationalism and gives it a gentler, more humane and more universal thrust.” “The Nazis represented godless nationalism which is the foundation of socialist and secular tyrannies everywhere,” he added. D’Souza’s 2,000 Mules,which focuses on the 2020 presidential election, purports to unveil evidence of widespread voter fraud, but fact checkers at the Associated Press, PolitiFact and Reuters have characterized allegations in the film as misleading, flawed or lacking concrete evidence....

These deregulatory efforts have not stopped during the COVID-19 pandemic, with experts telling Newsweek the administration is using the crisis as a cover to push through changes while the nation is distracted. As the country grappled with the worst of the outbreak between March and May, the administration made several significant announcements relating to air pollution regulations that critics say may be damaging to public health. Some studies suggest that poor air quality could play a role in the severity of coronavirus....

The former president on Friday took to his alternative social media platform, Truth Social, with a reaction to the so-called “Twitter Files,” a series of internal messages between leaders at Twitter discussing the botched handling of a New York Post article about Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, in the lead-up to the 2020 election. Despite many pundits concluding that the messages reveal nothing that was not already known, some conservatives, including Trump, insist that they show collusion between Democratic leaders and “Big Tech....

“We’re here to change the course of history,” Trump said during an event at the White House South Lawn to mark the occasion. “This is an incredible day for the world.” The agreements establish peace, diplomatic relations and full normalization between Israel and the two Arab Middle East countries. The nations will establish embassies and appoint ambassadors to each other, Trump said. “They’re going to work together,” Trump said. “They are friends....

Trump appeared on the show to give his opinion of Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and explain his endorsement of challenger Geoff Diehl, but the radio host asked the president his thoughts on the airline’s recent woes—which he suggested were a result of vaccine mandates though officials have rejected these claims. “I think it has a lot to do with a lot of things. I think it has something to do with the election that was rigged,” Trump said....

It would be nice—but it would ignore the elephant in the room. Many regard the U.S. Capitol with the same kind of awe and reverence shown by Jimmy Stewart’s character in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I know I do and, after nearly 40 years of being intimately involved in the political process, I confess a great deal of earnest sentimentalism has managed to survive beneath my hard-shell journalistic cynicism....

Trump, announcing health care updates amid the coronavirus pandemic, referred to “the campaign, which I won by the way,” though Democratic rival Joe Biden has been projected the winner in the race by all major media outlets. Trump didn’t take questions from reporters after his briefing, and he hasn’t since the election. The president has shied away from most public appearances since the election was called on Saturday, November 7....

First, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a statement that said Dorian’s original predicted path did include Alabama. An unnamed NOAA spokesperson said that between Aug. 28 and Sept. 2, “information provided by NOAA and the National Hurricane Center to President Trump and the wider public demonstrated that tropical-storm-force winds from Hurricane Dorian could impact Alabama.” NOAA went on to say the National Weather Service tweet on Sunday morning “spoke in absolute terms that were inconsistent with probabilities from the best forecast products available at the time....

Releasing the jobs report for August earlier today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the unemployment rate fell to 8.4 percent last month, down from a pandemic peak of 14.7 percent in April. The federal agency also found there had been “notable job gains” in the retail, leisure, and hospitality sectors, among others, thanks to the relaxing of lockdown restrictions and resumption of economic activity. A boost to government hiring was further found to have supported the rise in employment numbers....

Trump has said multiple times over the past couple weeks that the U.S. has the “lowest” or “one of the lowest” mortality rates due to the pandemic. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has also made the claim, but the data available to the public does not support this assessment. Wallace confronted Trump over this fact during an interview aired Sunday morning. “Sir, we have the seventh highest mortality rate in the world....

“This is a screaming red siren, but in the daily barrage of crazy, can we hear it? Trump is not only trying to rewrite history of Russia’s intervention in 2016, he is now using the power of the presidency to conceal their 2020 scheme to re-elect him. Dangerous,” Yates–who had previously served as deputy attorney general under President Barack Obama beginning in 2015, and then as acting attorney general briefly for Trump–wrote on Twitter Friday....

“Trump is trying to insert himself in races all across the country where people he’s supporting are crazy,” Hogan told ABC News, adding that the upcoming Republican primaries “are critically important because they are going to determine what the Republican Party looks like.” “It will tell us how much Trump’s influence has waned or not. Has he been diminished? And what does that foretell about the next election two years later?...
