Mourinho blasts 'not human' Manchester United schedule
Jose Mourinho described Manchester United's jammed-packed schedule as "not human" after a growing injury list threatened to wreck hopes of a place in next season’s Champions League. A 1-1 draw with Swansea on Sunday was a sixth stalemate in eight games at Old Trafford and harmed hopes of finishing in the top four. To make matters worse for United, Luke Shaw and Eric Bailly also suffered game-ending injuries, leaving Mourinho with a major personnel crisis ahead of Thursday's Europa League first leg semi-final visit to Celta Vigo.

Trump says North Korea's Kim is 'a pretty smart cookie'
US President Donald Trump offered some backhanded praise for North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, calling him "a pretty smart cookie" in a television interview that aired Sunday. Trump's almost admiring remarks came amid soaring tensions with North Korea over its missile and nuclear programs, with an alarmed Washington looking to China for help in reining in Kim. Trump said he had "no idea" whether Kim was sane or not, but said the North Korean leader had faced a formidable challenge in taking over the country at a reported age of 27 after his father's death in 2011.

Accidental cult star Kurt Russell enjoying renaissance
If not for Kurt Russell's mainstream, boyish good looks, the phrase "cult star" would work for this unpredictable actor whose career includes some of history's best-loved box office flops. Picture the 66-year-old's performances in comedy crime caper "Big Trouble in Little China," sci-fi horror film "The Thing" or buddy cop movie "Tango and Cash," and it's easy to see why he has just about attained "national treasure" status. "I've done things that I loved that didn't get a very good release or were ill-timed or that people didn't want to see, but then got found and became cult movies," Russell told AFP in an interview in Los Angeles.

Sudden collapse of Alitalia would be a shock to Italy's economy - minister
A sudden collapse of loss-making national airline Alitalia [CAITLA.UL] would be a great shock for Italy's economy, Industry Minister Carlo Calenda said on Sunday. Rome has thrown the crisis-hit airline a short-term lifeline, a bridging loan of up to 400 million euros ($436 million) to see it through a process whereby an administrator will decide if it can be sold as a going concern or should be liquidated. "It (sudden closure) would be a shock for GDP (economic output) much greater than the scenario that we are looking at: a brief period of six months covered by a bridging loan from the government so as to find a buyer who could provide services that Italians need as travellers," he said in an interview with Sky TG24 television.

Hamilton puzzled by 'odd weekend' in Sochi
By Alan Baldwin SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton was left puzzling a 'very odd weekend' after struggling to fourth place in Sunday's Russian Grand Prix while Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas celebrated his first Formula One victory. "I can't explain it right now," the Briton, still second in the world championship but now 13 points behind Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, told reporters. Lots of work will be done to figure it out." Hamilton arrived in Sochi as a two-times winner at the Olympic Park street circuit, a track where only his Mercedes team had won since the first race there in 2014, but he struggled to find his rhythm.

Brexit puts tiny German village at centre of Euroverse
A European Union flag snapping in the wind in the tiny German village of Gadheim is the only hint at why the world's media are beating a path to this out-of-the-way spot. When Britain's two-year negotiations on leaving the EU end in 2019, Gadheim's 89 inhabitants will find themselves at the geographic centre of the bloc, according to the IGN geographic institute in Paris. Most here first heard the news on the radio, says Juergen Goetz, mayor of nearby Veitshoechheim -- Gadheim being too small to have a Buergermeister (mayor) of its own.

Oil prices inch down on high stocks, weak China factories survey
By Aaron Sheldrick TOKYO (Reuters) - Oil prices edged lower on Monday, undermined by a weak manufacturers survey out of China, and despite talk that OPEC-led crude oil output cuts could be extended when oil producers meet later this month. London Brent crude for new front-month delivery in July was down 13 cents at $51.92. Also weighing on prices was a faster than expected slowdown of growth in China's manufacturing sector in April.

Balotelli strikes to give Monaco big helping hand
Mario Balotelli hit his 14th league goal of the season and Ricardo Pereira scored a cracker as Nice blew a big hole in Paris Saint Germain's title defence with a 3-1 win on Sunday. PSG are chasing a third consecutive sweep of domestic honours but finished the weekend three points behind Ligue 1 leaders Monaco, who also have a game in hand, and played the last moments in Nice with only nine men after they had two men sent off in quick succession. Nice, still unbeaten at home this season, stay third but are now just three points behind PSG and both have only three games left to play.

Chelsea on course for the title as Spurs beat Arsenal
By Steve Tongue LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea remain on course for the Premier League title after a 3-0 win at Everton left them four points clear of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who beat local rivals Arsenal 2-0 on Sunday. Goals by Pedro, Gary Cahill and Willian gave Antonio Conte's Chelsea side a comfortable win in the end but the Spurs team they beat 4-2 in the FA Cup semi-final last weekend are showing remarkable resilience in the league. In particular, Tottenham know they can rely for regular goals on England pair Harry Kane and Dele Alli, who have close to 50 between them this season with 27 and 21 respectively.

Many had even predicted that Baahubali 2 will be India’s first film to touch and cross the INR 1000 crore milestone and looks like this will happen sooner than expected.
