Sunak, 42, was the only leadership candidate to cross the threshold of public support from 100 members of parliament (MPs) to get on the ballot to be considered as Britain’s next prime minister. Penny Mordaunt, the only other challenger, did not pass this threshold, so Sunak is likely to become the next leader. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who resigned in July following a series of scandals leading to him being unable to form a government, considered running, but failed to gather enough public support from MPs....

As gaming enters the next generation of consoles, Bethesda is undergoing a significant change as well. This has left the fate of Fallout 5 in particular in question. Considering things like the Microsoft acquisition and introduction of a new IP like Starfield, many may wonder if Fallout 5 is in development, and if so, when fans might be able to expect the next game in the post-apocalyptic roleplaying series....

Blame the Beyonce backlash. Ever since two of the original Destiny’s Child girls quit the Grammy-winning group, claiming nepotism by its manager (who happens to be Beyonce’s father, Mathew), she has been accused of having a Diana Ross complex. But in person, she doesn’t seem much like a diva. With a giggle that would suit a 16-year-old at a Lil Bow Wow concert, Knowles is hardly the bootylicious, independent woman of her videos....

Asked about his Bosnia gaffe today in Terra Haute, Indiana during a visit to the charred remains of his wife’s local campaign headquarters, which burned down last night, Bill Clinton finally said something that made sense: I’ll let people who actually were there and knew what happened to talk about it. But I think the fact that Hillary made a factual error in her account and acknowledged it shouldn’t obscure the fact that she did go into an area not free of danger and was there advocating for the troops… I regret that people like you [reporters] care more about that than whether she served the troops, and whether she’ll put people back to work and whether she’ll do the best job of getting people out of Iraq… Let’s don’t make one more mountain out of a molehill when the facts are pretty clear....

I am looking for suggestions about projects that I could do with the spare parts. Preferably projects that are cheap! Thank you.

The latest in the saga F9 is due to hit theatres later this month and the rapper confirmed her casting in a brand-new featurette for the highly anticipated new installment. The “WAP” rapper—whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar—revealed that Vin Diesel himself reached to her to get her on board. “He was talking about a role and I was like, ‘It’s freakin’ Fast & Furious. Get me there! Put me on a plane!...

The Dolphins (8-3) have yet to lose when Tua Tagovailoa plays a full game this season, and they find themselves leading the Bills by a tiebreaker atop of the AFC East with six games remaining. MORE: Updated NFL playoff picture for Week 13 Miami runs into a juggernaut in Week 13.

Kyle Shanahan’s squad is fresh off a dominant win over another NFC South team — the Panthers — last Sunday. Niners fans took over Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte as Jimmy Garoppolo threw for two touchdowns and Jeff Wilson ran for 120 yards and a touchdown.

The Frenchman has stayed loyal to Arsenal since joining them in 1996, although former United chairman Martin Edwards has revealed that the Red Devils offered him the chance to replace Sir Alex Ferguson. Arsenal 7/1 to win Europa League Edwards claimed in his autobiography: “Our first choice was Arsene. Since joining Arsenal in 1996 Wenger had been greatly successful, especially in his first full season in charge when he won the Double....

Portland sent Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver and two second-round picks to Sacramento in exchange for Trevor Ariza, Caleb Swanigan and Wenyen Gabriel. Unfortunately for Gabriel, early reports misnamed him and had to be quickly corrected. Perhaps ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes were victims of the autocorrect feature? NBA TRADE DEADLINE: Latest news, rumors, targets The 22-year-old took it in stride, saying he “got Woj’d” on Twitter....

West Ham are 14/1 to achieve a top-six finish The 21-year-old signed a four-year contract after finalising terms with the Championship club on Thursday. Fletcher follows Darren Randolph in leaving West Ham for Boro, the goalkeeper having completed a £5m switch last week. He is Boro’s 11th signing in what has been a hectic transfer window for Garry Monk’s side. The England youth international progressed through the Manchester United academy but signed a four-year deal with West Ham in July last year, having impressed during a six-month loan spell with Barnsley....

The Daily Mail claimed to have seen emails from Henry speaking disparagingly about players from Africa, recalling difficulties the club had with Senegalese striker Diafra Sakho. It was reported that Henry had said African players “cause mayhem” when not selected in the team. Sakho was sold to Rennes in January, ending a tough time at London Stadium affected by injury. It was announced on Thursday that Henry had been suspended....

Ahead of Saturday’s matchday 11 clash with Liverpool, the Hammers sit 16th on the table, only two places and one point above the relegation zone. Among other experienced lads, Ayew is expected to lead the club’s renaissance, having netted three times in his last two games in all competitions. “People like Toni Martinez and Martin Samuelsen – they were with us in the last pre-season. They are doing well. I like young players....

Possibly named the ‘Mahindra Stadium’, the Indian conglomerate will pay the Premier League club around £6 million a year of which £1 million will go to the club – as agreed when they signed the tenancy agreement which dictated that they’ll receive half of the sponsorship amount worth above £4 million. West Ham secured the ‘deal of the century’ – often what it’s called – after a lengthy legal battle which ended a few months ago....

CWI have contacted players who come under their central contract system and those who don’t come under it as well. The catch here, however, is that the additional incentive which CWI has promised their players will be provided to them by PCB as the series does not come under the Future Tours Programme(FTP) system. Under this agreement, West Indian players will be paid up to double their regular salary depending upon their contract status....

Although India head into the first Test as strong favorites, they should not take the hosts lightly, with the West Indies proving in recent times that they are a strong side in home conditions. West Indies’ pace bowling attack of Kemar Roach, Shannon Gabriel, and Jason Holder are more than a match for the number one Test side in the World. The trio can be more than a match against any batting line up....

During a ceremony honoring military graduates and senior officers, Lukashenko said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin “discussed this in detail” on Monday, when the Kremlin said the pair met to talk about the strengthening of Russian-Belarusian relations, among other issues. “Strategic plans for an attack against Russia are being developed,” the Putin ally said, Belarusian news outlet BelTA reported. “And the main direction of the strike—history repeats itself—is through Ukraine and through Belarus....

There are few science-fiction series that continue to operate on the prestige scale that Westworld does. For three seasons, the HBO series has asked intriguing questions about artificial intelligence, androids, and society’s increasing reliance on technology. Westworld’s namesake comes from the amusement park the plot begins in, a Wild West-themed adventure full of excitement and danger. While the plot of the show has left the world of the park behind, it is the genesis for the shape of the series — thanks in no small part to Arnold Weber, the co-creator of the android “hosts” that keep the park running....
