roulette maker Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is 'attacked by mob' while out shopping in London's jewellery quarter - before being bundled into blacked-out 4x4 by guards By DAN WOODLAND Published: 16:59 EST, 10 December 2024 | Updated: 17:53 EST, 10 December 2024 e-mail 81 View comments Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has reportedly been attacked by a mob while shopping in central London . The former world champion found himself in trouble after a large crowd descended on him and his entourage while visiting a jewellery store in Hatton Garden. Mayweather, who was wearing a green jacket and camo trousers, appeared visibly distressed as he was escorted through the street by his security. Members of the mob, allegedly of around 30 people, could be heard taunting the billionaire as his bodyguards tried to bungle him into a blacked-out 4x4. The world champion was eventually ushered into the car before it sped off down the street, leaving some of his security staff behind. Videos of the incident, posted earlier today, show the 47-year-old shouting back at the crowd before his escape. Another shows him walking out of a store surrounded by his entourage as members of the public watch on. A source close to Mayweather told The Sun that floyd was 'not touched' during the incident, although one witness claimed the boxer 'took a few hits'.

He then said he was 'proud to support the Jews', which provoked someone into taking a swing at him, the source added. They continued: 'Then someone took a swing at him because of that. It looked very targeted. 'Floyd took a few hits during it, but his security was trying to push people back. 'I couldn't really see Floyd trying to throw any punches back. His guards were just trying to get distance between him and them.' Videos posted to X also claimed the boxer had caused anger over his comments about Israel. One person posted a video of the incident with the caption: 'Floyd Mayweather chased out of Hatton Gardens in London. The public are angry over his comments and support for Israel.'

When the conflict with Hamas first began last year, Mayweather pledged his allegiance to Israel on social media, insisting he 'stands with' the country. He wrote: 'I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! 'I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes. 'This is not a time for politics.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Georgia's Dasha Vidmanova and Columbia's Michael Zheng won NCAA singles tennis titles on Sunday. Vidmanova, a 21-year-old senior from the Czech Republic, beat DJ Bennett of Auburn 6-3, 6-3 for the Bulldogs' first women's singles championship since 2010 and the fourth singles champion in program history. Vidmanova is the only Bulldog in program history to win both the NCAA singles and doubles titles after winning the doubles with Aysegul Mert last season. It was the second consecutive season Georgia had a women’s tennis player reach the title match after Anastasiia Lopata lost to Alexa Noel of Miami last year. Bennett is the first player in Auburn’s program history to reach the finals in the event, besting Fani Chifchieva’s semifinalist finish in 2008 that was the previous best finish for a Tiger. Zheng, a 20-year-old junior from Montville, New Jersey, beat Ozan Baris of Michigan State 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 to become the first Ivy League player to collect an NCAA men's singles crown since 1922. The final between Zheng and Baris was the first men's NCAA tennis singles final between two Americans since 2017. Zheng, the first men’s Ivy Leaguer to win the title since Yale's Lucien Williams over a century ago, is the first player to reach back-to-back finals on the men’s side since Steve Johnson of USC in 2011 and 2012. TCU’s Pedro Vives Marcos and Lui Maxted earned the men’s doubles championship while Virginia’s Elaine Chervinsky and Melodie Collard won the women’s doubles title. Vives Marcos and Maxted beat Gavin Young and Benjamin Kittay of Michigan 6-3, 6-7 (8-6), 1-0 (10-2). The 10-point tiebreaker to determine the national champions featured five service breaks, including four by the Horned Frogs, who scored the final six points to seal their title. Young and Kittay became the first doubles runners-up in Michigan men's tennis history. Chervinsky and Collard beat UCLA's Olivia Center and Kate Fakih — both freshmen — 4-6, 6-3, 1-0 (10-5) in the final to win the first NCAA Doubles title in program history. The Cavaliers' duo won each of their five matches at the championships in a third-set 10-point super tiebreaker. ___ AP tennis:

Elite. Intrepid. Capable of elaborately dressing multiple encased sausages without missing a play. You think they’d let any old fool vote for college sports ’ highest individual honor? Please. OK, fine, so they do. There are nearly 1,000 of us, like so many rusted pennies in a mason jar. Anyway, all this year’s votes are in and the Heisman will be presented to the winning player on Saturday in New York. Colorado two-way sensation Travis Hunter is the huge favorite, with Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel as the other finalists. Alas, I can’t tell you how I voted yet because doing so is explicitly forbidden by the Heisman Trust until after the winner has stepped to the podium, thanked his agents, lawyers, branding consultants and personal stylists and thrown at least two fistfuls of $100 bills in the air. So we can’t talk about that, but guess what the Sun-Times is prepared to reveal right here, right now? Yes, friends, it’s time again for our annual Wiseman Trophies . They might not be quite as coveted as the Heisman, but, well, there is no “but.” Let’s get to ’em. Skiesman: Step right up and receive your award, Paul Rubelt, and try not to bump your head on the ceiling. The 6-11 Rubelt, college football’s tallest player, finally won a starting spot at offensive tackle in his fifth season at UCF. Not bad for a guy who grew up in Germany and didn’t play football until he spent a year at Hiawatha High School in DeKalb County. Triesman: Accepting on behalf of both Georgia and Georgia Tech is Georgia running back Nate Frazier, who scored the winning two-point conversion — by God, somebody had to — in a 44-42 regular-season finale that went to a preposterous eight overtimes. Combined, the Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets failed on nine of their 12 two-point tries over the OT periods. Who do they think they are, the Bears? Buysman: This goes to Oregon for landing Gabriel from the transfer portal at one hell of a bargain. Gabriel’s estimated NIL earnings were right around $2 million — several QBs around the country made more — and he was so very worth it, playing close to flawlessly as he led the unbeaten Ducks to the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. Maximizeman: As Shedeur Sanders’ famous father once rapped, “Must be the money!” The Colorado QB surely would’ve been selected had he entered the 2024 NFL draft, but he returned to school, made more NIL dollars than anybody — a beyond-cool $6 million or so — and played his way to the very top of some 2025 draft boards. That’s how you do it. Franchiseman: With all due respect to Gabriel and Sanders, the most valuable QB on the field was Miami’s Cam Ward. In his only season with the Hurricanes, he strapped the offense to his back and carried it — game after game — to the top of the statistical charts. Even in his team’s two losses, Ward totaled 700 yards passing with five touchdowns and zero interceptions. No one outside the playoff deserves to be in it more. Ayesman: Begrudgingly, we honor the playoff selection committee for sticking to its guns and voting in SMU over undoubtedly better but — perhaps — less-deserving Alabama. With the last at-large bid, an extra-large precedent was set. Downsizeman: A long, heartfelt tip of the helmet to Washington State, which comported itself as though the dual heartbreak of (1) the Pac-12’s death and (2) being spurned by the rest of the major conferences never even happened. While the rest of the country was busy not caring, the have-nots from Pullman won eight games, including one at hotshot Washington that was so utterly satisfying, the feeling just might last forever. Rabbisman: The LDS Church’s QB1 is — what else? — Jewish. The bar-mitzvahed, Star of David-wearing Jake Retzlaff won 10 games this season at BYU, reportedly as one of only three Jewish students at a school with an enrollment of over 35,000. In a development too perfect to make up, the player nicknamed “B-Y-Jew” last week signed an NIL deal with Manischewitz. L’chaim! Pulverizeman: Oregon strength-and-conditioning coach Wilson Love took a break from flexing in front of a mirror to pick up a sledgehammer and smash the living hell out of a Washington helmet at halftime of the Ducks’ rivalry win in the regular-season finale. That’s definitely one way to fire up a team. Stiesman: Who had a career-high six tackles at New Mexico State? Louisiana Tech defensive back Pig Cage, that’s who. Way to get dirty, kid. Improviseman: No one scrambled around keeping plays alive quite like Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia. Ask Alabama, whose defense was spun like a top by Pavia in the Commodores’ astonishing 40-35 mega-upset of the Tide in October. Pavia gave outmanned Vandy a chance week after week and, no matter how hard he got knocked around, kept doing it with swagger, attitude and a sneer — just like alum Jay Cutler once did. Despiseman: After late-season “flag planting” episodes got everybody talking about this method of taunting a rival, Michigan coach Sherrone Moore took it to another level. At a Wolverines basketball game on the heels of an epic football upset win at Ohio State, Moore pumped the crowd into a frenzy by “planting” an imaginary flag. We’re sure video of this won’t make its way to Columbus.

Because in the context of their season, this result might turn out like finding a diamond in a dungheap. This was a priceless Champions League point, plotted with patience and managed manfully, the kind of performance that playing away in Europe always used to be about. That it was their second away 0-0 on the bounce speaks volumes for how much they are — finally, finally — maturing at this elite level. read more football stories FINAL FEARS Johnston gives injury update after he emerges as doubt for Rangers cup final MEGA OFFER Get £50 in free bets to spend on football when you stake £10 with Betfred That it takes their unbeaten run in the competition to four, their longest since 1986, is huge credit to manager Brendan Rodgers and his players. The fact that there were plenty who moaned at full-time that they should have been winning? Well, they should take that as a compliment, not a criticism. Remember, they’d lost on all three previous visits here. Remember, they’re haunted by a catalogue of fives and sixes and sevens shipped in Paris and Madrid and Barcelona and back again.

Since a battling 1-1 at home to Club Brugge a fortnight ago, they’ve won three league games on the spin to extend their lead at the top of the Premiership to nine points, haven’t lost a goal along the way, and are in good shape for Sunday’s Premier Sports Cup final against Rangers . Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers turns on Lennoxtown Xmas lights As for the biggest trophy of all? Beat the whipping boys of Bern in front of a baying Parkhead on January 22 and they’d surely be into the play-offs with a shot at earning a glamour-dripping, money-spinning last-16 tie. That’s a successful first half of the season in anyone’s language , even if this game in itself was a four-letter-ing bore. Three shots on target all night, one from Celtic , was the lowest tally in any Champions League group stage game this season. Long before the end, you got the feeling Callum McGregor was marshalling a unit quite happy for it all to drift away into nothing-nothingness. Yet maybe even that tedium is a clear sign of their growing maturity at this level. After that 7-1 hammering in Dortmund on matchday two, they were faced with a clear choice — either to put their fingers in their ears and keep on leaving themselves wide open, or sacrifice their natural instincts and get a little bit meaner. Atalanta and now Zzzzzzzz-agreb tell the world for sure which they plumped for. They didn’t try to force the game here, didn’t go out of their way to make things happen. HOW THEY RATED By DEREK MCGREGOR KASPER SCHMEICHEL: Off his line to gather at the feet of Sandro Kulenovic as Dinamo tried to break the deadlock. Tipped over a header from Marko Pjaca late in the game 6 ALISTAIR JOHNSTON: Caught late by Marko Rog in front of the dugouts as the Dinamo star landed a booking. Canada star never fully recovered and was replaced at break 5 CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS: Looked uneasy after his Club Brugge own goal and had problems keeping his footing in first half. Close-range shot deflected well over 6 AUSTON TRUSTY: Good header out of the six-yard box early on then repeated the feat from Dinamo inswinging free-kick. Great block from Pjaca’s shot 6 GREG TAYLOR: Early yellow card for a late challenge in the Dinamo box. Heaved a huge sigh of relief when his miscue on the edge of his own box wasn’t punished 5 CALLUM McGREGOR: Captain’s 100th Euro game for the Hoops. Had the ball pinched off his toe by Lukas Kacavenda as the game started to become stretched after the hour 5 PAULO BERNARDO: In ahead of Arne Engels and flashed early free-kick just off target. Near-post corner also caused chaos. Couldn’t tame ball into box from Daizen Maeda 6 REO HATATE: Great ball from own half freed Kuhn down right. Lost footing as he tried to drill in a shot — which was his final act as Brendan Rodgers shuffled midfield 5 NICOLAS KUHN: Hit the byeline on the halfway mark but delivery was slapped away for a corner. Cut in on to his left foot after break but shot was deflected over top 6 DAIZEN MAEDA: Was booked for late challenge on Maxime Bernauer as tensions began to rise late in first half. Showed trademark energy going both ways but couldn’t find spark 5 KYOGO FURUHASHI: Great energy as he constantly pressed goalkeeper Daniel Zagorac. Didn’t get a real glimpse of goal and rested late on ahead of Sunday’s cup final 5 Anthony Ralston (4) half-time sub for injured Johnston, booked. Luke McCowan (4) tested keeper. Arne Engels (4) got last half-hour. James Forrest (3) lashed shot off target. Adam Idah (3) on as Celts chased late winner. They didn’t try to force the game here, didn’t go out of their way to make things happen. They just played steadily, stayed organised, probed when they went forward and got into shape when Dinamo forced them back the way. On the one occasion when he was properly called into action, Kasper Schmeichel once again proved himself calm in a crisis, flying high and stretching elastically to tip Marko Pjaca’s back-post header over from right under his crossbar. Off the back of the half-a-dozen big stops that had spared his mates from serious complications at home to Hibs on Saturday, the great Dane had set up his fourth clean sheet in ten days. And, as it went, he very nearly inspired them to snatch all three points at the death , too, when three of the subs Rodgers had promised came so close to combining for a brilliant winner. James Forrest picked out a brilliant reverse ball down the left to Arne Engels , who flashed a fabulous ball across the front post , where Adam Idah was only denied by a magnificent sliding challenge from Kevin Theophile-Catherine. Now that would’ve been the perfect climax to a hugely imperfect night. Instead, German ref Felix Zwayer brought it to end soon after, and Rodgers marched on to the turf to congratulate a bunch who seem to have bought 100 per cent into his thinking, both tactical and mental. After that win over Hibs , the performance as shambolic and shoddy as the scoreline was eventually convincing, he spoke about how the ability to “win and win and win” was as much in the mind as it was in the boots . 3 Here, amid the unspeakable pile that is Croatia’s national stadium, that same mindset came into play once again. Once again, Celtic were far short of their fast, flowing, imposing and imperious best. But unlike on so many European away nights of the past, they used their brains to pick their way through a tricky test and come out the other end unscathed. The Maksimir really is unspeakable, too. One whole side lying disused ever since an earthquake hit the city in 2020, fans behind each goal hover a good 30 feet above the action because of massive boundary walls, the main stand a mess of rickety press facilities, a perilous-looking TV gantry and an impossibly-steep batch of seats open to the elements. I’ve never met anyone who likes playing there. Not Dinamo, not the Croatia national team — and certainly not any visitors. Read more on the Scottish Sun SCOT MY FIRST RODEO!

NEW YORK — Eager to preserve President-elect Donald Trump's hush money conviction even as he returns to office, prosecutors suggested various ways forward — including one based on how some courts handle criminal cases when defendants die. In court papers made public Tuesday, the Manhattan district attorney's office proposed an array of options for keeping the historic conviction on the books. The proposals include freezing the case until Trump is out of office, or agreeing that any future sentence wouldn't include jail time. Another idea: closing the case with a notation that acknowledges his conviction but says that he was never sentenced and his appeal wasn't resolved because of presidential immunity. Former President Donald Trump appears in Manhattan criminal court May 30 during jury deliberations in his criminal hush money trial in New York. The last is adopted from what some states do when a criminal defendant dies after being convicted but before appeals are exhausted. It is unclear whether that option is viable under New York law, but prosecutors suggested that Judge Juan M. Merchan could innovate in what's already a unique case. People are also reading... "This remedy would prevent defendant from being burdened during his presidency by an ongoing criminal proceeding," prosecutors wrote. But at the same time, it wouldn't "precipitously discard" the "meaningful fact that defendant was indicted and found guilty by a jury of his peers." Expanding on a position they laid out last month, prosecutors acknowledged that "presidential immunity requires accommodation during a president's time in office," but they were adamant that the conviction should stand. They argued that Trump's impending return to the White House should not upend a jury's finding. Trump wants the case to be thrown out in light of his election. His communications director, Steven Cheung, called prosecutors' filing "a pathetic attempt to salvage the remains of an unconstitutional and politically motivated hoax." Trump has fought for months to reverse his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors said he fudged the documents to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. Former President Donald Trump returns to the courtroom May 30 at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York. He says they did not and denies wrongdoing. Trump portrays the case as a political attack ginned up by District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other Democrats. Trump's legal team argues that letting the case continue would present unconstitutional "disruptions" to his upcoming presidential term. Trump's attorneys also cited President Joe Biden's recent pardon of his son Hunter Biden, who was convicted of tax and gun charges. Biden complained that his son was unfairly prosecuted for political reasons — and Trump's lawyers say he was, too. Trump's lawyers argued that the possibility of a jail sentence — even if it's after he leaves office — would affect his presidency. Prosecutors suggested Merchan could address that concern by agreeing not to put him behind bars. It's unclear how soon Merchan could decide what to do next with the case. He could grant Trump's request for dismissal, go with one of the suggestions from prosecutors, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump's parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court, or choose some other option. Trump, a Republican, takes office Jan. 20. Former President Donald Trump gestures May 31 as he leaves a news conference at Trump Tower in New York. He was scheduled for sentencing late last month. After Trump's Nov. 5 election win, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed the former and future president's sentencing so the defense and prosecution could weigh in on the future of the case. Merchan also delayed a decision on Trump's prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. A dismissal would erase Trump's conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office. The hush money case was the only one of Trump's four criminal indictments to go to trial. Since the election, special counsel Jack Smith ended his two federal cases, which pertained to Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and allegations that he hoarded classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. A separate state election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, is largely on hold. Trump denies wrongdoing in each case.

or working-class Americans, the American Dream is out of reach, says Newsweek Opinion Editor Batya Ungar-Sargon in her new book, Her book analyzes who the working class and why it is more and more difficult for this group to attain the stability that previous generations achieved. Ungar-Sargon shares intimate stories of the struggles of hard-working Americans across the country, finding commonalities across lines of race, political affiliation and occupation. In this Q&A, she discusses barriers to for the working class, whether universal college education would help, their enduring patriotism and more. A: That you can love a country that has you. That you can love people who vote for the other party and support policies that you don’t. That polarization is a totally elite phenomenon. Despite being incredibly diverse, working-class Americans are surprisingly united on the big issues, whether it’s abortion or immigration or equal opportunity or the need for better jobs and better health care. The problem is that neither party represents where the vast majority of working-class Americans are at politically, so it’s something of a which party they choose. Unlike the college educat ed (on both sides), they don’t identify with the list of positions listed on the DNC or RNC websites, so they aren’t in politics and would never dream of holding it against someone who picks the other party in the voting booth because it signifies so little. Greatly expanding Greatly limiting immigration. A government-backed catastrophic health care plan. degree requirements for jobs that don’t require them, and [outlawing] software that those without a college degree during the application process. Making illegal and expanding which greatly expands the housing stock by allowing for duplexes and to be built in areas currently zoned exclusively for single-family detached homes. Expanding tariffs on foreign imports. Reducing but expanding the child tax credit. Basically, finding ways to make sure people who work really hard are and the American Dream, which they aren’t today. It didn’t solve the problem for most of the people I interviewed. Many of them had insurance through work but were still going broke due to things like and Others were paid so little they qualified for The health care system in this country is such a disaster. The of manufacturing to China and Mexico and the expansion of immigration are the two biggest ones. We took good-paying, working-class jobs that ensured a stable, middle-class life to millions of Americans and shipped them overseas to build up the middle class of other countries. Then we imported millions of low-wage immigrants, most of whom are working in jobs that don’t require a college degree, to compete with working-class Americans in the jobs that remained here, of those jobs. Corporations started to they used to take onto their workers, then good health care, then stable working hours and then a living wage. That’s how we got here. The diploma divide is another big one. Our economy rewards people who work in the knowledge industry in a big way, while there is constant downward pressure on working-class wages. And then there’s the cost of a middle-class life. While working-class wages are up, the of a middle-class life—a home, adequate health care, an education, a retirement—have risen astronomically, in large part due to what Elizabeth Warren called “The Two Income Trap”: upper middle-class couples in the top 10 or 20 percentile who can afford to pay twice as much for everything, which drove up the prices where they live. This is an extremely important question. The answer is no, both on the part of the workers and on the part of the economy. From the perspective of the economy, there simply isn’t a demand for significantly increasing the number of college grads out there. Those industries are pretty full up—and even contracting, thanks to AI. Over half of college grads are working jobs that don’t require a college degree (though they still make more than their working-class counterparts), meaning we’re already producing way too many college grads—while there is a devastating dearth of skilled tradesfolk. The other reason free college for all isn’t the answer is that not everyone wants to go to college, excels at that type of learning or wants that kind of career. And that’s a really good thing! We already have too many lawyers and gender studies majors and podcasts. We’re never going to have too many plumbers or janitors, but we took all the money to educate the former and put it in higher education, and then devalued the latter through mass migration. It’s unfair that it’s those people whose work we rely on most who can’t The patriotism of the Americans who were left behind. They aren’t willing to give up on this country and we shouldn’t give up on them. – osiągać, realizować, zdobywać – stanowić, reprezentować – awans (np. społeczny) – zdradzić kogoś – loteria – przesadnie/zbytnio zainteresowany – szkolenie zawodowe, przyuczenie do zawodu – zakazać, zdelegalizować – pozbyć się czegoś, wyplenić coś – prawo dotyczące zagospodarowania przestrzennego, prawo urbanistyczne – zabudowa luźna – trzypiętrowy dom (z mieszkaniem na każdym piętrze) – wyłudzanie zasiłku – zapewniać godne życie – wysokość opłat, jaką pacjent musi ponieść przy każdej wizycie lekarskiej lub zakupie leków, która nie jest pokrywana przez ubezpieczenie – kwota, którą ubezpieczony musi zapłacić z własnej kieszeni przed tym, jak ubezpieczyciel zacznie pokrywać koszty leczenia lub usług medycznych – państwowy system ubezpieczeń zdrowotnych dla osób o najniższych dochodach (w USA) – przeniesienie biznesu poza granice kraju (w celu ograniczenia kosztów) – obniżać płace, doprowadzać do obniżenia wynagrodzeń – zmniejszać ryzyko, przenosić/przerzucać ryzyko (na przykład na kogoś) – pozbawiać kogoś emerytury – cecha charakterystyczna – utrzymywać rodzinę and answer the following questions: 1.
