Carabao Cup predictions: Round 4

Image
We've arrived at the fourth round stage of the Carabao Cup which means just 16 teams remain in the competition. While it feels like the com Pet ition has barely begun, teams are already beginning to think about a possible trip to Wembley. The exit of Manchester City in the third round has only added to the potential excitement, although four of the supposed 'Big Six' did progress into the fourth round. There are eight fixtures to enjoy over the next two days, including four all-Premier League affairs. Here are 90min's predictions for the Carabao Cup fourth round.

A Japan court says North Korea is responsible for the abuses of people lured there by false promises

A Japanese high court on Monday said the North Korean government was responsible for the human rights abuses of plaintiffs who said they were lured to the North by Pyongyang’s false promise of living in the “paradise on Earth." TOKYO -- A Japanese high court on Monday said the North Korean government was responsible for the human rights abuses of plaintiffs who said they were lured to the North by Pyongyang’s false promise of living in “paradise on Earth,” a decision praised as a victory by survivors and their supporters. “The ruling showed that a Japanese court can rule on North Korea’s human rights violations, one that could have a significant impact,” said a lawyer for the plaintiffs, Kenji Fukuda. The four plaintiffs, including ethnic Koreans and Japanese, moved to North Korea with thousands of others under a 1959-1984 program in which the North promise d free Health care, Education , jobs and other benefits. But they said none of that was available and they were mostly assig

BREAKING🚨: AI Built To Find Aliens Just Picked Up EIGHT Aliens Radio Signals From Outer Space

Image
Thanks to a new artificial intelligence-trained system, eight unexplained radio signals have already been found, which experts think may speed up the hunt for extraterrestrial life. After using the program to examine 820 stars in a region of space that was previously believed to be devoid of any possible alien activity, experts led by University of Toronto student Pet er Ma uncovered the surprising finding. Earlier analyses of the data had missed uncertain indications. Part of the reason for this, Ma explains, is that ‘in many of our observations, there is a lot of interference. ‘We need to distinguish the exciting radio signals in space from the uninteresting radio signals from Earth.’ Strange: This graphic shows the eight signals of interest. They are the ones that appear orange Ma created a new machine learning method that may more effectively distinguish possible extraterrestrial signals from all the background noise on our planet, workin

Here's what the UAW deal with Ford means for General Motors and Stellantis

Image
"The other automakers will be quick to follow," one expert said. Tens of thousands of Ford employees will soon return to work as part of a tentative agreement that ends one section of a work stoppage mounted by the United Auto Workers against the Big 3 U.S. carmakers. The deal focuses attention on nearly 100,000 union members still without a contract at the other two -- General Motors and Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep and Chrysler. That ongoing walkout could end within days, labor experts told ABC News, pointing to a likely acknowledgement among the union and carmakers that the Ford contract would set the terms for the outstanding agreements. Eager to avoid further damage to output and revenue, the companies will likely seek a resolution as they watch Ford return to full capacity, the experts added. "I would be totally flabbergasted if GM and Stellantis don't sign an agreement very, very similar to that reached at Ford, and I think that will occur within the

NBA salaries: Who are the highest-paid players in the 2023-24 season?

As the 2023 NFL season approached, several young quarterbacks have signed new contract extensions worth over $250 million , breaking the $50 million per year threshold. This underscores the importance of a quarterback position in the NFL and how teams are willing to pay top dollar for a reliable and talented signal-caller. In the NBA, however, players can secure massive contracts even without an All-Star appearance on their resume. This is due to the “max deal” concept , which guarantees that young, talented basketball players are arguably overpaid. At the same time, the league’s biggest superstars are prevented from earning a salary that reflects their actual value. For the 2023-24 NBA season, the salary cap has risen to a record $136.021 million , as teams are spending more than ever to lure top talent to their cities. Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, who signed a four-year, $215 million extension in 2021 for the third year in a row, has topped the list of the season

Man Utd loanee Mason Greenwood could face fine after being spotted at Burger King

Getafe forward Mason Greenwood was allegedly spotted purchasing a meal from Burger King after head coach José Bordalás had banned his players from eating junk food.

Russian forces make renewed push to take eastern Ukraine towns with drones, missiles and mortars

Ukrainian officials say at least two civilians were killed and others wounded across Ukraine in the past 24 hours as Russian forces continued to shell areas across the country and pushed forward near an embattled eastern city KYIV, Ukraine -- At least three civilians were killed and others wounded in Ukraine on Friday and Saturday, as Russian forces continued to shell areas across the country and pushed forward near an embattled eastern city, local Ukrainian officials reported Saturday. A man died as Russian forces shelled the Ukrainian-held town of Nikopol from their stronghold at Ukraine's largest nuclear plant, according to Ukrainian local Gov. Serhii Lysak. Lysak said that emergency services in Nikopol were working to assess the damage. Russian troops took over the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant early in the war, sparking intermittent fears of a radiation incident as shelling persisted near the site, often targeting Ukrainian-controlled settlements across the Dnieper River.

Long lines at gas pump unlikely, but Middle East crisis could disrupt oil supplies

Fifty years after the 1973 Arab oil embargo, the current crisis in the Middle East has the potential to disrupt global oil supplies and raise prices WASHINGTON -- Fifty years after the 1973 Arab oil embargo, the current crisis in the Middle East has the potential to disrupt global oil supplies and push prices higher. But don't expect a repeat of the catastrophic price hikes and long lines at the gasoline pump, experts say. The Israel-Hamas war is “definitely not good news” for oil markets already stretched by cutbacks in oil production from Saudi Arabia and Russia and expected stronger demand from China, the head of the International Energy Agency said. Markets will remain volatile, and the co NFL ict could push oil prices higher, "which is definitely bad news for i NFL ation,” Fatih Birol, executive director of the Paris-based IEA, told The Associated Press. Developing countries that import oil and other fuels would be the most affected by higher prices, he said. Internationa
