As the “Bodak Yellow” singer explained her name, Fallon tried and failed to keep a straight face as the Bronx native spoke with her trademark “zing” sounds.

A recent BBC radio programme addressed Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination and what it reveals about Malta. In that hushed observer’s voice usually associated with wildlife programming (“now, we can see the cheetah watching the zebra”), the presenter told the World Service listeners about “the two Maltas” all around him.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Wofford coach Mike Young walked into his postgame news conference wearing a soaked dress shirt and sheepishly drying himself with a towel.

Beating fifth-ranked and reigning national champion North Carolina — on the road, no less — deserves a hearty celebration. Fletcher Magee scored 27 points to help the Terriers stun the Tar Heels 79-75 on Wednesday night, snapping UNC's 23-game home winning streak. Читать дальше...

As the US moved the knight into check, she realised she was playing a game she should not have entertained. For thousands of years empires have risen and kingdoms have fallen in the Middle East and the world, and the US has now interfered in one of the most difficult games in history, solving Jerusalem; a gambit that reminds the world that the US, for now at least, is the only hyper power with a presumption, as all empires had in history, that they will always rule supreme. That said, Russia, Saudi... Читать дальше...
