CNN —England soccer star Raheem Sterling is returning home from the World Cup in Qatar after armed intruders broke into his home while his family were inside, a person with knowledge of the situation told CNN. The incident happened on Saturday evening, the individual told CNN, and Sterling is said to be “shaken” and “concerned” about the well-being of his children after the break-in. “Police were contacted just before 9pm on Saturday December 3rd after the occupants of the property came home and discovered a number of items including jewellery and watches had been stolen,” a spokesperson from Surrey Police told CNN. We’re obviously mindful of him being allowed space and privacy respected so we don’t want to talk in too much detail. The Chelsea forward played in England’s first two games in the group stages of the World Cup and scored in the team’s 6-2 victory against Iran.

☆ Fact Check-Election graphs published by Mike Lindell do not indicate U.S. voter fraud

A series of graphs published by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell on his social media channels and livestreams appearing to show real-time U.S. midterm election updates do not indicate or prove fraud, experts told Reuters. Lindell published four graphs on his Instagram account purporting to show real-time vote counts during the elections. But such ‘spikes’ seen in graphs using unofficial election data do not indicate or provide proof of fraud, with races rarely officially called on election night (here). The four graphs appearing to show real-time midterm election data do not point to fraud or nefarious activity. Visualizing unofficial vote counts in real-time where the incoming data may be non-uniform in distribution can lead to apparent “spikes” in graphs, experts told Reuters.

Elon Musk would get very angry when staff at his first company, Zip2, weren't working after 9 p.m.A former Zip2 worker, Jim Ambras, told a new BBC documentary that Musk's face "would turn red." The Elon Musk Story uses interviews with his family, friends, employees – and enemies – to explain his rise to become the world's richest man. It was bought by Compaq four years later to boost its AltaVista search engine and netted Elon and Kimbal $22 million and $15 million respectively, according to Ashley Vance's 2015 book "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future." Branden Spikes, a systems engineer at Zip2 also interviewed for the documentary, described Musk as an "unusual fellow" who would work late and then sleep under his desk. Elon Musk's mother, Maye, who also appears in the BBC documentary, said that when he was young she would struggle to wake him up in the morning because he would stay up all night reading books.
