Their chanting means: “Death to Mulayam Singh!” and “Noida police, shame! shame!” Many of the lower-middle-class demonstrators hold aloft handmade flyers emblazoned with the photographs of schoolchildren, some in uniforms, some in poorly knotted neckties, others in colorful salwar kameez. The kids on the flyers have one thing in common. They have all disappeared without a trace, some of the approximately 45,000 children reported missing each year in India. And now, behind a block-long screen hastily erected to thwart rubberneckers, a backhoe and a team of forensic investigators are digging up their small bodies....

Man Utd told to pay more for Morata Witsel incurred a storm of criticism in January when he opted against a transfer from Zenit to Juventus in favour of the riches on offer in the Chinese Super League.

Wizards star Bradley Beal is the latest to join the squad, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. He’ll play along with Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and Warriors forward Draymond Green, the three other players that have committed to play for Gregg Popovich this summer. It’s not surprising to see Beal join Team USA. He’s coming off a great season and he is close friends with Tatum, who he relished the opportunity to play with at the 2021 NBA All-Star Game....

“If I can’t move and I need more time then I won’t [play Sunday],” Wall said, per the Washington Post. “But it’ll be frustrating not to.” MORE: Ranking every player in the All-Star Game | PHOTOS: All-Star jerseys and swag Wall suffered the injury in the first quarter in Milwaukee when he and Bucks guard O.J.

So it was somewhat strange when, 10 years ago this week, Kelly Oubre Sr. had a notion that something was going to be different about the new storm threatening New Orleans, his hometown. New Orleans’ fortune with dodging hurricanes had metastasized into a complacency within the city, many locals rolling their eyes at suggestions of evacuation and politicians shrugging off dealing with faulty levees until some other day. When he saw reports about Hurricane Katrina, though, Oubre perked up....

With the NBA Finals wrapped up and the Raptors bringing home the first championship in franchise history, the Wizards are expected to reach out to seek formal permission to meet with Ujiri, 48, and, per ESPN, “offer a staggering financial package that would include running the Wizards’ basketball operations and, perhaps, taking on a larger leadership role in the Monumental Sports and Entertainment company that oversees the Wizards and NHL’s Capitals, league sources said....

The CCP didn’t pay a price for its malevolence then, and if America’s business community has its way, it won’t pay a price for its malevolence now either. During an 18-month-and-counting period in which a CCP-controlled China most culpable for the coronavirus pandemic has made not faraway democracy protesters, but every American, to one degree or another, its victim, more than 30 business groups from the Chamber of Commerce to the Business Roundtable, covering industries from agriculture to financial services to semiconductors, are calling for fostering still-closer economic ties with China....

Such success came as a result of a variety of factors. Firstly, as the result of a large-scale financial takeover in 2016, Wolves have benefited from an array of juicy transfer signings and loan deals, ranging from playmakers such as Joao Moutinho to first-choice goalkeeper Rui Patricio, not to mention club record signing Adama Traore from Middlesbrough. Secondly, the appointment of current manager Nuno Espirito Santo saw a change in attitude and tactics, with a defensively-impenetrable 3-4-3 formation being adopted where Jonathan Castro and Matt Doherty are regularly utilized as hard-working wingbacks....
