Mendy was found not guilty of one count of rape and one of attempted rape by a British court in July after being acquitted of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault in January following allegations made by multiple women. Mendy's lawyer Nick De Marco confirmed he was acting for Mendy in a "multi-million pound claim for unauthorised deductions from wages" in an emailed statement to Reuters. "Manchester City FC failed to pay Mr Mendy any wages at all from September 2021, following Mr Mendy being charged with various offences all of which he was subsequently acquitted of, until the end of his contract in June 2023," the statement added. Mendy, currently at Ligue 1 side Lorient, joined City from AS Monaco in 2017 for a fee of around 52 million pounds ($64.80 million).

The legal team had initially set a Friday deadline. "The ball is on their court, we've been waiting for their response," said Viana, a partner at law firm Vieira Rezende Advogados. His lawyers want Hamilton, who was racing for McLaren at the time to support the claims. He is an honorary Brazilian citizen and very well liked by Brazilians, so I hope he will support us," Viana said. Despite that, Viana said Massa's legal team were confident they had a strong case and enough evidence to bring the Brazilian the championship.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A judge on Wednesday halted a Southern California school district from requiring parents to be notified if their children change their gender identification or pronouns at school. Bonta argues the policy will forcibly out transgender students in violation of their privacy rights and threaten their well-being. Chino Valley contends the policy seeks to involve parents so they can provide support their children need. He also questioned whether elementary school students as young as 4 and 5 years old should be treated the same as high school teens involved in confidential counseling. He then worked with school board members and the California Family Council to draft the policy that was voted on in Chino Valley.

CNN —When all is said and done, it is looking increasingly likely that this iteration of Manchester City will go down as the greatest team in Premier League history. A 'Premier League Champions' banner is revealed outside Manchester City's stadium on Saturday. Catherine Ivill/Getty Images Europe/Getty ImagesIndeed, defender Rúben Dias recently called Guardiola the “main piece” of this City team. Back in February, the Premier League accused Manchester City of more than 100 breaches of the league’s finance rules and referred the club to an independent commission. The Premier League told CNN it had no comment to make on the issue, while Rosen said he wasn’t taking press inquiries.

☆ Fact Check-False claims about the sun and clouds at night shared online
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-18 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

Contrary to online claims, the earth is 93 million miles from the sun, is not flat and there is plenty of night-time footage of the planet taken from space, experts told Reuters. It also says the earth is flat and questions why clouds can’t be seen in nighttime images of the earth taken from space. Orsola de Marco, an astrophysicist at Macquarie University in Sydney, told Reuters that visibility of clouds at night could also depend on camera angle and the light source. Rather than a spacecraft looking directly through a cloud, shooting from an angle makes clouds more visible because more light can be reflected off the clouds, she said. Photos shared by the European Space Station at night showing clouds can be seen (here), (here), and (here).

Athletic Bilbao a câștigat a treia Supercupă a Spaniei din istoria clubului după un meci dramatic cu FC Barcelona, care a fost decis în prelungiri. Partida a început cu o ocazie a "leilor" lui Marcelino, însă șutul lui Ander Capa a fost respins de Marc-André ter Stegen. Formația din Bilbao a mai ratat o ocazie uriașă în minutul 105, însă până la final nu s-a mai marcat. Astfel, Athletico Bilbao a obținut primul trofeu după 6 ani. Ultima dată a câștigat tot Supercupa Spaniei și tot împotriva Barcelonei, scor 5-1 în 2015.

Bascii au restabilit însă egalitatea de fiecare dată, mai întâi prin Oscar de Marcos (42), iar apoi prin Asier Villalibre, în finalul reprizei secunde. Athletic, care a mai intrat în posesia acestui trofeu în 1984 şi 2015, s-a impus prin golul marcat în debutul prelungirilor de Inaki Williams, care l-a învins pe portarul Ter Stegen cu o execuţie superbă de la marginea careului. Punctul culminant al meciului a fost in minutul 121, cand Leo Messi a fost eliminat, pentru prima data in cariera sa la Barcelona, dupa 753 de meciuri in care nu a primit niciodata cartonașul roșu. Argentinianul l-a lovit pe Villalibre la mijlocul terenului, după ce jucătorul lui Bilbao a încercat să îl enerveze, iar Manzano i-a arătat roșu lui Leo, după ce a verificat faza cu VAR.
