Liverpool have confirmed Virgil van Dijk has been named the new club captain , with Trent Alexander-Arnold taking over vice- captain duties. The towering centre-back was the natural favourite to become the new skipper after the departures of Jordan Henderson - who had held the armband from 2015 - and vice- captain James Milner - who joined Brighton when his Reds contract expired. Speaking to the club's official website about being given the armband, Van Dijk said: "[It's] a really proud day for me, for my wife, for my kids, my family. It's been a special feeling and I can't really describe it at this point. But it's something that I'm really, really proud of. "Obviously I'm captain of Holland, that was already such a huge honour, a proud moment as well. But also to be the captain of Liverpool Football Club is something that I can't describe at this point. "It's just something that makes me very proud and I will do everything in my...

A week later, the “Barbenheimer” boom has not abated NEW YORK -- A week later, the “Barbenheimer” boom has not abated. Seven days after Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” conspired to set box office records, the two films held unusually strongly in theaters. “Barbie” took in a massive $93 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Oppenheimer” stayed in second with a robust $46.2 million. Sales for the two movies dipped 43% and 44%, respectably — well shy of the usual week-two drops. “Barbenheimer” has proven to be not a one-weekend phenomenon but an ongoing box- office bonanza . The two movies combined have already surpassed $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore, call it “a touchstone moment for movies, moviegoers and movie theaters.” “Having two movies from rival studios linked in this way and both boosting each other's fortunes — both box-office wise and it ter...

Opponents of offshore wind projects are suing New Jersey and the Danish wind energy developer Orsted over a lucrative tax break the state approved for the company OCEAN CITY, N.J. -- Opponents of offshore wind projects are suing New Jersey and the Danish wind energy developer Orsted over a lucrative tax break the state approved for the company, saying it is illegal because the law was written to benefit only one entity. The lawsuit was filed Thursday by two residents' groups that are opposed to offshore wind projects and three electricity customers from Ocean City who seek to overturn the law. They say it gives Orsted about $1 billion in tax relief for one of the two windmill projects it plans to build off the state's southern coast. The state Legislature passed a bill allowing Orsted to keep federal tax credits that it was obligated to pass along to ratepayers. In applying for permission to build the project, called Ocean Wind I, Orsted had promised to return such credits t...

Thousands of Shiite Muslims have been allowed to hold a religious procession marking the Muslim month of Muharram in Indian-controlled Kashmir's main city for the first time since an anti-India rebellion broke out in the disputed region more than three... SRINAGAR, India -- Thousands of Shiite Muslims were allowed to hold a religious procession marking the Muslim month of Muharram in Indian-controlled Kashmir's main city on Thursday for the first time since an anti-India rebellion broke out in the disputed region more than three decades ago. The participants, mostly wearing black clothes, beat their chests and recited elegies in the commercial heart of Srinagar. Some carried copies of the Quran to protest recent public desecrations of the Islamic holy book in Sweden and Denmark. Muharram is among the holiest months for Shiite Muslims and marks the martyrdom of the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, Imam Hussein, and his 72 companions in the battle of Karbala in the seventh century...

Federal land managers have pulled the plug on a Canadian mining company’s lithium exploration project near a national wildlife refuge in southern Nevada RENO, Nev. -- Federal land managers have formally withdrawn their authorization of a Canadian mining company’s lithium exploration project bordering a national wildlife refuge in southern Nevada after conservationists sought a court order to block it. The Center for Biological Diversity and the Amargosa Conservancy said in a lawsuit filed July 7 that the project on the edge of the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge outside Las Vegas posed an illegal risk to a dozen fish, snail and plant species currently protected under the Endangered Species Act. They filed an additional motion this week in federal court seeking a temporary injunction prohibiting Rover Metals from initiating the drilling of 30 bore sites in search of the highly sought-after metal used to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles. But before a judge in Las Ve...

The grand jury in Washington, D.C., investigating former President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election is not meeting today, according to sources. The grand jury in Washington, D.C., investigating former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election did not meet on Friday, according to sources. Court security confirmed to ABC News Friday morning that the grand jury would not be convening. MORE: Here's what the laws reportedly cited in Trump's target letter could mean for a potential indictment Special counsel Jack Smith informed Trump by letter on Sunday that Trump is a target in his investigation.

Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as the labor market continues to show fortitude in the face of higher interest rates Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week with the labor market continuing to cruise along despite higher interest rates intended to cool hiring. U.S. applications for jobless claims fell by 9,000 to 228,000 for the week ending July 15, from 237,000 previous week, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The four-week moving average of claims, which evens out some of the weekly volatility, fell by 9,250 to 237,500. Jobless claim applications are viewed as reflective of the number of layoffs in a given week. For three weeks in late May and early June, jobless claims had appeared to reach a sustained, higher level, above 260,000. But the past four weeks, claims have retreated and the labor market remains historically healthy. Since more than 20 million jobs vanished when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, U.S. emp...

You watch movies You watch movies. You watch TV. And now you're wondering how the dual Hollywood strikes — a pitched battle with actors and writers on one side, and studios and streaming services on the other — will affect you. We have answers. Do the strikes mean “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” aren't coming out? They — and all other summer releases — are still on track! Many flashy premieres have been canceled, however, or dramatically scaled down. Am I crossing the picket line by seeing one of those movie s? No, the unions have not asked fans to boycott productions, and are quick to make that explicit. Instead, the guilds have asked supporters who aren't members to post on social media and donate to community funds. Should I cancel Netflix, MAX or the 16 other streaming services I subscribe to if I want to show support? Nope, there's been no consumer boycott of any kind called yet. Some guild members have said watching their programs on streaming services — if they...
