Guardiola confirms Ederson will play in FA Cup semi-final
Ederson will play in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal this weekend after Claudio Bravo was ruled out through injury, Pep Guardiola has confirmed
The Chilean has served as City’s cup keeper this season, playing in the League Cup final victory over Aston Villa in March and returning for the FA Cup meetings with Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle United, but was absent from the bench for the last two league games.
First-choice keeper Ederson has not featured in the domestic cup competitions this season, but will start against Arsenal at Wembley.
“Eddie is going to play because Claudio is a little bit injured - he was not on the bench, has a muscular problem and he’s not able to play tomorrow. Everyone else is fine,” Guardiola said .
Joao Cancelo had been City’s only other injury worry, but the right-back has recovered from a leg problem and is in contention to be named in the matchday squad.
The extent of Bravo’s injury is unclear, but if City lose their semi-final, or if they progress and he does not recover in time for the final, the former Barcelona man may have already played his last game for City as his contract expires at the end of the season.
Guardiola says Liverpool’s failure to pass points record doesn’t diminish achievement
Manchester City will end the current season with their Premier League points record still intact, thanks to Liverpool’s defeat at Arsenal during the week.
Jurgen Klopp’s champions can now only reach a maximum of 99 points, one fewer than City picked up in the 2017/18 title campaign.
However, Pep Guardiola refused to play down Liverpool’s achievement despite their recent results.
“That doesn’t cancel for one second the incredible Premier League that Liverpool have done,” Guardiola said .
“One hundred points is not easy but sooner or later someone will break the record.
"But always 100 points is not easy, nothing has changed. We were incredible two seasons ago when we did it, the same as when we did 98 the year after. It’s still incredible.”
Liverpool can still make it to 99 points with victories over Chelsea and Newcastle United in their last two games, having sealed the title with several games to spare.

CAS might never release full details of Manchester City Champions League decision

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-17--FIFTY MILE swarm of flying ants picked up over UK by radar

Everyone 's been talking about Flying Ant Day this year - the day the flying insects are spotted across the UK .
Now a HUGE swarm of the pests has been spotted over the south east coast .
The Met Office ’ s weather radar picked up the cloud of ants , around 50 miles wide , over Kent and Sussex .
Smaller swarms can be seen over London .
The Met Office tweeted a video of the swarm and said : “ It ’ s not raining in London , Kent or Sussex , but our radar says otherwise… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a swarm of # flyingants across the southeast .
“ During the summer ants can take to the skies in a mass emergence usually on warm , humid and windless days # flyingantday ’ .
” A spokesman for the weather service said there are likely “ thousands ” of ants within the swarm .
He said : “ It ’ s not unusual for larger swarms to be picked up .
“ A similar thing happened almost exactly a year ago on flying ant day .
“ On days like today , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ detects the swam but we are able to see they are not the same shape as water droplets , and in fact look more insect-like.
” Flying ant day occurs when males and new queens leave the nest to mate , with many ant colonies doing so on the same day .
According to the Royal Society of Biology , there is not always one flying ant day , but as many as 96 per cent of days between June and September flying ants are spotted .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-17--Council leader blasts 'sickening' people for sharing unproven CSE allegations

A council leader has blasted the ‘ sickening ’ behaviour of people repeating allegations of historic child sex abuse 'which have no evidence behind them ' in Oldham .
An independent review is taking place into allegations of sexual exploitation in the borough dating back to 2011 , which concern ‘ shisha bars , taxi companies and children ’ s homes ’ .
The review is being led by experts Malcolm Newsam , a former commissioner for social care in Rotherham , and Detective Superintendent Gary Ridgway of Cambridgeshire Police , who worked on the Operation Augusta investigation in Manchester @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s full council , Liberal Democrat councillor Sam Al-Hamdani asked what progress had been made in the investigation .
He said : “ Given the importance of this for anyone who has suffered any form of exploitation and for reassuring other members of the public , could you let us know when we can expect information to be provided on the investigation into Oldham and to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the borough council and what areas we would expect the initial report to cover ?
” Council leader Sean Fielding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on record because there was ‘ ample speculation on the internet that is being made by people who are not in full possession of the facts surrounding this issue ’ .
He told councillors the review is ‘ well underway ’ and is being overseen by a GMCA steering group , chaired by deputy mayor Baroness Beverley Hughes .
“ Given the terms of reference which are publicly available , the complexity and the independence of the review work , the council is not in direct control of the timeline for completion of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s report .
And nor should it be to guarantee true independence , ” Coun Fielding said .
“ However through the GMCA steering group we are confident that positive progress is being made.
” He said it was ‘ regrettable ’ the ‘ most vocal ’ people making allegations of CSE online have ‘ refused to engage ’ with the review .
“ It is further more regrettable that a small number of individuals continue to share and repeat allegations that seem to have no evidence behind them , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not comprehend the mentality of those who would withhold evidence of child abuse , but yet exploit the issue for personal , political and financial gain as we witness on the internet .
“ In fact I find this behaviour , as I ’ m sure any decent person does , utterly sickening .
“ I hope that any victims will not be denied the justice that they deserve by selfish individuals holding on to information that could allow prosecutions to take place and the answers that we are all seeking to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be provided to the council when they receive it from the review team .
Council chiefs have confirmed the review will cover the period from 2011 to 2014 , but will also consider the specific case of one woman who complained about the handling of her case during 2005 and 2006 .
The assurance review will specifically consider allegations that have been made on social media involving shisha bars , taxi companies and children ’ s homes .
This will include the ‘ nature and extent to which adults had inappropriate access @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children ’ s homes in Oldham putting them at risk of harm ’ .
It will also look at the extent to which historical actions and employment records have been ‘ adequately investigated ’ in the case of ‘ known offenders ’ previously employed within Oldham public services .
It is understood this relates to jailed Rochdale grooming leader Shabir Ahmed , who worked at Oldham council until the mid-2000s .
The framework of the review says ‘ particular reference ’ will be made to concerns that statutory agencies were ‘ aware of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to safeguard the children and subsequently covered up these failings ’ .
All reports , audits and performance information on the management of child sexual exploitation during the review period will be looked at by the team .
They will also look at allegations in social media posts relating to the period 2011 to 2014 .
This will include interviews with individuals who have made ‘ significant allegations ’ , preliminary interviews with senior officers at Oldham council and , if required , former officers .

It is understood this relates to jailed Rochdale grooming leader Shabir Ahmed, who worked at Oldham council until the mid-2000s.
The framework of the review says ‘particular reference’ will be made to concerns that statutory agencies were ‘aware of this abuse, failed to respond appropriately to safeguard the children and subsequently covered up these failings’.
All reports, audits and performance information on the management of child sexual exploitation during the review period will be looked at by the team.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-17--Urgent review into how daily death figures are recorded ordered by Matt Hancock

Health secretary Matt Hancock has ordered an urgent review into how daily coronavirus death figures are calculated .
It comes after researchers criticised the way Public Health England ( PHE ) records the daily statistics , saying they are left looking far worse than any other part of the UK .
The Department of Health death toll for the UK uses figures from PHE as well as Public Health Wales , Health Protection Scotland and the Northern Ireland Public Health Agency .
In a blog entitled “ Why no-one can ever recover from Covid-19 in England – a statistical anomaly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the University of East Anglia , and Carl Heneghan , from the University of Oxford , said more robust data is needed .
They argued that PHE looks at whether a person has ever tested positive for coronavirus and whether they are still alive at a later date .
This means anyone who has ever tested positive for Covid-19 and then dies is included in the death figures , even if they have died from something else .
“ PHE does not appear to consider how long ago the Covid test result was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ successfully treated in hospital and discharged to the community , ” they said .
“ Anyone who has tested Covid positive but subsequently died at a later date of any cause will be included on the PHE Covid death figures .
“ By this PHE definition , no-one with Covid in England is allowed to ever recover from their illness .
“ A patient who has tested positive , but successfully treated and discharged from hospital , will still be counted as a Covid death even if they had a heart attack or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months later.
” The experts said this is the reason why PHE figures “ vary substantially from day to day ” .
They also said that about 80,000 recovered patients in the community are continuing to be monitored by PHE for the daily death statistics , even though many are elderly and may die of something else .
They concluded : “ It ’ s time to fix this statistical flaw that leads to an over-exaggeration of Covid-associated deaths .
“ One reasonable approach would be to define community Covid-related deaths as those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid positive test result .
“ In summary , PHE ’ s definition of the daily death figures means that everyone who has ever had Covid at any time must die with Covid too .
“ So , the Covid death toll in Britain up to July 2020 will eventually exceed 290k , if the follow-up of every test-positive patient is of long enough duration.
” The experts said the issue relates to England because Scotland and Northern Ireland use a 28-day cut-off .
On the Government death statistics website for England , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Deaths are counted where a lab-confirmed positive coronavirus test result is reported in any setting .
“ This means that not all deaths reported here are caused by coronavirus.
” Other data on deaths , regarded by many experts as more reliable , is put out by the Office for National Statistics ( ONS ) .
PHE said it could not be ruled out that Covid-19 was a contributory factor in some deaths .
Dr Susan Hopkins , PHE ’ s incident director , said : “ Although it may seem straightforward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agreed method of counting deaths from Covid-19 .
“ In England , we count all those that have died who had a positive Covid-19 test at any point , to ensure our data is as complete as possible .
“ We must remember that this is a new and emerging infection and there is increasing evidence of long-term health problems for some of those affected .
“ Whilst this knowledge is growing , now is the right time to review how deaths are calculated.
” Christina Pagel , a mathematician and professor of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UCL ) and a member of the Independent Sage group , said the way PHE calculates data could become an issue as time goes on but she did not believe there had been a “ massive distortion ” .
She added : “ For Matt Hancock to suddenly be launching a massive inquiry is odd .
“ The Department of Health website says quite clearly how each country is doing its death calculations , so it shouldn ’ t be a surprise to him .
That ’ s what I find really odd @ @

Owen Hargreaves believes Paul Pogba can be a leader for Manchester United’s young generation of players – with the help of Bruno Fernandes.
The French midfielder has been in top form for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side since the Premier League’s return to action last month.
Having played just eight games before the season was brought to a halt due to the coronavirus outbreak, Pogba has made a swift return to the starting XI, flourishing in a midfield pivot alongside Nemanja Matic.
Key to Pogba’s resurgence has been the arrival of Fernandes, who has formed a potent partnership alongside him in midfield – and Hargreaves believes the Portuguese’s introduction has helped the World Cup winner establish himself as a leader for United.
“He (Pogba) gets too much criticism. I think he takes it all,” Hargreaves told BT Sport .
“The thing I love about him is that he always comes and wants the ball. He always sits there and takes that pressure and this is a man that’s taken pressure from an early age.
“He’s produced on the biggest stages with Juventus. He won the World Cup with France and he was a leader for that team.
“He’s a leader for this generation, along with Harry Maguire and David De Gea. Now, at 27, he’s ready to take on that leadership.
“Okay, Bruno’s come in and taken some of the responsibility. I think his overall game is so good.
“I love the fact that he (Pogba) stands up and takes everything on the chin. He never bites back, and I just think that me and Rio (Ferdinand) remember him being a young kid of 17, now he’s 27, I think he’s ready to lead these young guys like Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood.”

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-17--What chief medical officer and chief scientific adviser said about Covid today

The government 's leading medical and scientific advisors have outlined their views on COVID-19 , and how it could pan out for the UK in the long-term .
This morning ( Friday ) , Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced plans for a 'significant return to normality ' by Christmas .
Yet England ’ s chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty and the chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance presented more cautious views to the House of Lords .
Prof Whitty told the Science and Technology Committee social distancing is likely to be necessary for a long time .
He said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we started right at the beginning , which absolutely have to continue for a prolonged period of time – washing hands , isolation , household isolation .
`` And then we ’ ve added to that things like contact tracing , most recently face coverings .
`` And these are issues of , and issues around distancing , which have been varied but the reality is distancing remains an important part of this mix and how it ’ s interpreted in different governments has evolved .
`` But it has not gone away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to continue for a long period of time . ''
Finding a vaccine in the next six months was also unlikely , warned Prof Whitty .
Asked how the UK ’ s strategy to tackle the pandemic might evolve in the coming months , he said : `` Obviously the one that we would all love to see is if in the next six months we got an effective , or fairly effective vaccine or highly effective drugs .
`` I think Patrick ( Vallance , chief scientific adviser ) and I certainly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case , but very pleasantly surprised and we ’ re working as fast as we can to achieve that .
`` But clearly that would lead to a significant change of strategy . ''
Aiming to eliminate the presence of coronavirus in a “ highly connected ” country like the UK is “ quite optimistic ” , he added .
Both advisers made it clear that winter posed a significant challenge in tackling the virus .
Sir Patrick Vallance described winter as a 'complex time , where the vast majority of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms may not have Covid , they have something else ' .
He added : `` And so there are going to be people potentially being isolated for reasons that are non-Covid . ''
The Prime Minister made five key announcements on Friday morning , which included setting out a new timetable for reopening businesses affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and ramping up testing capacity .
Mr Johnson also outlined changes to the government 's advice to work from home and announced additional funding for the NHS to see it through winter .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ last month they do not believe it is possible to return to a 'pre-Covid normality ' without contact tracing and other measures that would 'be difficult to achieve ' .
The June 22 opinion by modellers feeding into the scientific advisory group for emergencies ( Sage ) was contained in the latest tranche of documents released on Friday .
“ SPI-M-O ( scientific pandemic influenza group on modelling , operational ) do not believe it is possible to return to a ‘ pre-Covid ’ normality , without levels of contact tracing and Covid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achieve , without some sort of additional increase in immunity , either through vaccination or infection , ” they wrote .
“ As a result , thought should be given to the triggers for when measures should be reintroduced , what metrics should inform this , and what further data and information may need to be collected .

Following the brutal attack in June, McKenzie went to the hospital where medical staff were trying to save the life of his child, “posing as a victim”, prosecutor Duncan Penny QC said.
He lied to police and failed to admit that he spent more than an hour before the killing reading his victim's emails.

McKenzie gave a thumbs up the judge as he was sent down.
In a victim impact statement, Miss Fauvrelle's father Jean Fauvrelle said his daughter and grandson has been "stolen" from him.
“Aaron McKenzie’s evil act has devastated our lives," he said.
“My heart physically aches but those words do not feel sufficient.”
He added: “A baby comes into this world defenceless and it’s up to his mother and father to love and protect him and give him the world. Instead his father took away his world.”
Following the sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Mick Norman said the family had been “devastated” by the murder of Miss Fauvrelle.
“This has been a harrowing and distressing case for all concerned," he said.
"My thoughts today are with Kelly-Mary’s family, who have suffered immeasurable loss and been put through the agony of a trial.
“Their future with Kelly-Mary and Riley was so cruelly taken from them, and it is fitting that McKenzie’s future has today been taken from him.”

“We won’t be able to do that until we are immune to the virus, which means until we have a vaccine that is proven safe and effective.
