Dele Alli has started and been replaced at half-time in matches against Everton and Royal Antwerp this season
Jose Mourinho said "my future choices are going to be very easy" after Tottenham's surprise 1-0 Europa League Group J defeat by Royal Antwerp.
Mourinho made four changes at half-time after appearing to lose patience with some of his fringe players in Belgium.

bbc--2020-10-30--Maradona at 60: In search of the real Diego - Guillem Balague column

The footballing maverick , genius and contradiction that is Diego Maradona celebrates his 60th birthday on Friday , a day many of us doubted this most complex of men would ever see .
To understand Diego properly you have to know the enigma that is Argentina ; a country that needs the Diegos of this world to be the Messiahs that can carry it to the level of greatness of which it considers itself worthy .
And to appreciate that this is a man who has lived a story replete with incredible paradoxes , a host of mistakes and subsequent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declines and resurrections .

The footballing maverick, genius and contradiction that is Diego Maradona celebrates his 60th birthday on Friday, a day many of us doubted this most complex of men would ever see.
His has been a life that has hit the very highest of peaks before descending into the deepest, darkest troughs of despair, unable to cope with the adulation that came with stardom and the god-like status bestowed upon him, yet seemingly incapable of surviving without it.
To understand Diego properly you have to know the enigma that is Argentina; a country that needs the Diegos of this world to be the Messiahs that can carry it to the level of greatness of which it considers itself worthy. And to appreciate that this is a man who has lived a story replete with incredible paradoxes, a host of mistakes and subsequent corrections, epic feats and anecdotes about declines and resurrections.
Which one is the real Maradona?
Diego the boy from the Buenos Aires shanty town of Villa Fiorito, a prodigiously talented street urchin and man of the people?
Or maybe Maradona the god, the myth, the great avenger and the embodiment of the people's dreams, aspirations and ultimate confirmation that Argentina is the best country in the world?
Maybe both are.
Diego Maradona's second goal against England at the 1986 World Cup is considered one of the greatest of all time
In 1968 Francis Cornejo, the coach of a youth side affiliated to Argentinos Juniors that he called Cebollitas (little onions) had to travel to Villa Fiorito to check the kid's age on his ID. "He's tiny, there's no way he's eight," was his stunned reaction as he watched him play in a trial.
His mother Dalma Salvadora Franco confirmed his age by showing them Diego's birth certificate from Evita Hospital. Francis had just performed the footballing equivalent of striking oil. He had found a gem that could slot into his side. From March 1969 onwards, the team did not tire of winning, recording a 136-game unbeaten run.
In his youth, Maradona's dad, or as his friends called him Chitoro, piloted a ferry that moved cattle from village to village and later on he went on to work in a chemical factory, where he barely earned enough to make ends meet for his large family in the shanty town where they lived.
The success of his son, the fifth of eight children, meant that apart from becoming the "king of the barbecue", he would never work again. By the time Diego was 15 he had already become the head of the family and told his dad to be by his side.
Maradona inspired Argentina to victory at the 1986 World Cup
From an early age Diego learned that leadership was a natural step forward, particularly when there was a vacuum to fill, no matter what your age. "We went to play in Brazil," recalls team-mate Ruben Favret who, like the rest of the squad, played midweek friendlies in Argentina and abroad to take advantage of Maradona's pull.
"It was the era of the colour television and we all wanted to bring one back. But we had not been paid our bonuses. Diego, who was 18, stood up for everyone and told Consoli [the president of Argentinos] that if they didn't pay us, he wouldn't play."
A complicated, convoluted move to Boca Juniors followed, mostly orchestrated by Maradona himself who revealed - incorrectly - to a friendly journalist that talks to sign him from Argentinos were at an advanced stage.
It kick-started the first great media-led transfer in history, for what was then a still fairly green 20-year-old. The deal morphed into the surreal. What began as a straight purchase for the not inconsiderable sum of $10m became a last-minute loan using six Boca players, some cash and dodgy cheques as collateral. Nothing was simple or straightforward when it concerned Maradona.
Barcelona, where he went next, never saw the best of him. Of the two years he spent there he was out ill or injured for about half of that. He suffered an appalling ankle injury after a dreadful tackle from Athletic Club's Andoni Goicoechea and then, when he became the main protagonist in a massive brawl played out in front of the Spanish king in the Copa del Rey final which led to a five-month ban from domestic competition, his fate was all but sealed.
In fact, he was close to bankruptcy at that point and a move, with new financial incentives, was a necessity. Also, he never adapted to life in Catalonia, where he was made to feel an outsider.
Napoli have won Serie A twice and lifted one European trophy (the Uefa Cup) - all in Maradona's time at the club
Two months later he signed for Napoli, where he would enjoy his most successful and ultimately most punishing times. The move to this noisy, crowded, overheated goldfish bowl of an existence - in which the Neapolitan criminal organisation, the ever-present Camorra, were involved from the start - was the moment Diego the kid from Fiorito became Maradona the brand.
Suddenly he was more the character than the kid, falling in love with the notion of being Maradona, lapping up the glory and adulation yet always fully aware of just how asphyxiating the whole situation was.
Cocaine became his new reality, a place of excitement higher than he had ever been before; his drug of choice removed him from the demanding realities of having to constantly demonstrate that you are the best player in the world.
And in between it all came the moment that confirmed his status as something much more than merely a great footballer. How would things have transpired if Argentina had failed to beat England in the "Hand of God" match in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the "revenge" four years on of the defeat in the Falklands War?
That match served to grant him immortality in the eyes of his country.
My latest project is a biography on Diego, up until his retirement as a footballer. The rest is too personal and unsavoury. In order to write it, I had to go back to where it all started, to Villa Fiorito. No-one would take me. It was my last day in Buenos Aires in early 2020, and eventually I managed to persuade a very nervous taxi driver who had picked me up on my arrival to drive there.
Villa Fiorito has a reputation as a place troubled by poverty and violence
We travelled in a nervous silence. The houses started to be small boxes, surrounded by uneven paving with half-finished fences or filled with neglected plants. Rubbish bins were parked outside the tired small gardens and children were kicking a ball about barefoot.
The street narrowed and it became an uneven dirt road. I guessed possibly not much had changed since that first trip Cornejo had done with Diego to find out his age.
We turned right. A man was walking down the middle of the narrow road to avoid the mountains of rubble that had piled up on the pavement. Without stopping and having barely wound down his window, the taxi driver asked with an apologetic tone for Diego's house. "Over there, 200 metres away." He stopped the car outside Maradona's first home, but kept the engine running.
All the plants were overgrown. It was halfway through the afternoon. Towards the back, you could make out a shabby bungalow that had a shadow cast over it. A man in a white vest swiftly got off his rocking chair. "What are you looking for?" "Nothing, sir. My friend here just wanted to see..." responded the taxi driver while putting the car in gear and driving off at speed. On the left I saw a dirt pitch with a single goal.
There is not one sign en route to that spot that signals the history of the area and its most famous inhabitant. And there is absolutely no intention to turn it into a tourist attraction. Nobody likes to showcase its miseries.
In reality this was Diego's home; Maradona, the man the boy grew into, never lived there 60 years ago.
In fact, it is difficult to find what is left of that kid these days. Now manager of Argentine Primera Division side Gimansia de la Plata, he has never been able to abandon the big stage.
Maradona was presented with a throne by former club Newell's Old Boys when he took his Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata team there for a league game last year - a day before his 59th birthday.
His life after he retired as a footballer is complex to say the least - it is common knowledge that he has at least 11 children, and his relationship with his former wife, Claudia Villafane, ended up in court, as happened with his agent and close friend Guillermo Coppola.
He has managed a few clubs (he is adored in Sinaloa, the Mexican team he led between 2018 and 2019) after failing to impress in charge of his nation from 2008 to 2010. But he has never come close to reaching the same heights as a manager that he did as a player.
He says he stopped consuming cocaine three years ago but the medication he takes leaves him in a state of sedation. That, his excessive weight from liking the high life, and the numerous operations from having played at a time when football artists were neither respected nor protected, explain his physical difficulties.
Maradona, who admits he feels no remorse for his actions, always understood that life had to be lived to the full. That is why, now at 60, with an accumulation of experiences of someone much older, he can consider himself lucky to be alive. And he will celebrate daily that he is.

bbc--2020-10-30--Arsenal beat stubborn Dundalk to maintain winning Europa League start

Last updated on .From the section European Football Arsenal 's squad players impressed boss Mikel Arteta as they eventually broke Dundalk 's resistance to win their Europa League group game at Emirates Stadium .
Nicolas Pepe 's brilliant effort from the edge of the box seconds after the restart killed the game off .
They cruised after that but could not add a fourth against the Irish side .
`` We gave a chance to a lot of players who have n't played many minutes this season and it is something really positive because they showed they are well-prepared , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are ready when we need them , '' Arteta said .
`` They are always in the frame to play .
It is not if we lose or win , it is what they bring to the team . ''
It was a stark contrast to Spurs boss Jose Mourinho 's criticism of his fringe players as Arsenal 's north London rivals lost 1-0 to Royal Antwerp .
Arsenal - who had never faced a side from the Republic of Ireland before - have now won both their opening Europa League games , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Dundalk made a bit of history as the first team in the 10 years of the Europa League not to commit a single foul in a game .

It took 33 minutes for the Gunners to have a shot on target , with Kolasinac 's header tipped over the bar by Gary Rogers .
The breakthrough came seven minutes later .

Nicolas Pepe has been directly involved in six goals for Arsenal in the Europa League in eight appearances - three goals and three assists
Arsenal's squad players impressed boss Mikel Arteta as they eventually broke Dundalk's resistance to win their Europa League group game at Emirates Stadium.
Eddie Nketiah pounced from close range to give the Gunners the lead and Joe Willock blasted a shot into the roof of the net 125 seconds later.
Nicolas Pepe's brilliant effort from the edge of the box seconds after the restart killed the game off.
They cruised after that but could not add a fourth against the Irish side.
"We gave a chance to a lot of players who haven't played many minutes this season and it is something really positive because they showed they are well-prepared, they are at it, and they are ready when we need them," Arteta said.
"They are always in the frame to play. It is not if we lose or win, it is what they bring to the team."
It was a stark contrast to Spurs boss Jose Mourinho's criticism of his fringe players as Arsenal's north London rivals lost 1-0 to Royal Antwerp.
Arsenal - who had never faced a side from the Republic of Ireland before - have now won both their opening Europa League games, while Dundalk have lost both of theirs.
Dundalk made a bit of history as the first team in the 10 years of the Europa League not to commit a single foul in a game.
Gunners' inexperienced backline not tested
Arsenal handed a debut to Iceland goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson, a summer signing from Dijon, and he played behind a makeshift central defence.
The Gunners have three centre-backs injured, including David Luiz, with another two not registered for the Europa League.
As a result Shkodran Mustafi, making his first start since July, began in a back three along with midfielder Granit Xhaka and Sead Kolasinac, who is usually a left-back but has played in the centre for Arsenal several times.
But they all had a quiet day - Dundalk only had two touches in Arsenal's box - and it was the hosts' fringe forwards who took their chance.
It took 33 minutes for the Gunners to have a shot on target, with Kolasinac's header tipped over the bar by Gary Rogers.
The breakthrough came seven minutes later. Rogers flapped at a corner which hit team-mate Daniel Cleary and Nketiah beat Brian Gartland to the loose ball to score from close range.
Two minutes later and the Gunners had control. A misplaced pass let Nketiah run forward. He found Pepe, who had an effort blocked, but Willock controlled the ball and blasted a shot into the roof of the net.
It was only another couple of minutes of football later - albeit after the half-time break - when the best goal of the day came.
Pepe got the ball on the edge of the box, rolled it away from a defender and smashed a perfect effort into the top corner.
At that stage a rout looked likely but Dundalk held firm with Ainsley Maitland-Niles having the only effort on target after that.
Arteta said: "I'm really pleased with the way we went about the game.
"Our attitude from the beginning was spot on, we attacked and created a lot of situations inside the box."
Dundalk deserve credit
Former Serie C defender Filippo Giovagnoli was managing a senior club for only the 11th time
Dundalk's run to the Europa League group stage has come despite domestic struggles. They have won only three of 11 League of Ireland games since the restart, losing their title to Shamrock Rovers, and are not certain of a European place next year.
Their manager is unknown Italian Filippo Giovagnoli, a former AC Milan summer camp coach who had never managed a senior team until his appointment in August.
He was not expected to be in the dugout - he sat out their 2-1 defeat by Molde last week - because he does not have the Uefa Pro Licence.
Shane Keegan, the club's opposition analyst, was named as manager for the game in the Uefa team sheet - but Giovagnoli appeared on the touchline for the game.
They had the opening chance with Patrick McEleney's long-range effort after three minutes tipped around the post by Runarsson.
The Lilywhites defended resolutely for 40 minutes but Arsenal's opening two goals came from their mistakes and there was no way back after that.
Giovagnoli said: "I want to congratulate my team and all the players for the way they collaborated defensively, their focus and everything.
"We had to suffer, we know, but I think we were organised defensively.
"A few things went well, we tried on three occasions to build up like we prepared, we tried to high press them when they were playing with the goalie, to go man to man and be really aggressive when their goalie had the ball."
Several players were withdrawn with Sunday's league game against St Patrick's Athletic in mind. Among them were Michael Duffy, who is such a big Arsenal fan he took 'Thierry' as his Confirmation name after Gunners legend Henry.
Limerick's 1-1 Uefa Cup draw in Southampton in 1981 remains the only time in 13 attempts a side from the Republic of Ireland have not lost in England.
Nketiah scores, Arsenal win - match stats
Arsenal have lost just one of their 13 games in cup competitions under Mikel Arteta (W10 D2), a 2-1 defeat against Olympiakos in February.
Arsenal have won all nine games in which Eddie Nketiah has found the back of the net (10 goals).
Goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson is the first Icelandic player to appear for Arsenal since Olafur Ingi Skulason against Wolves in December 2003 in the League Cup.

England play their final match of the postponed 2020 Six Nations against Italy on Saturday
Thirteen Barbarians players have been charged by the Rugby Football Union after last Sunday's game against England was cancelled because of coronavirus protocol breaches.
Players face a range of charges including "individual breaches of the protocols" and "providing false statements during an investigation", the RFU said.
BBC Sport understands former England captain Chris Robshaw, who was among the players who apologised for the breach, is one of the players charged.
Richard Wigglesworth, Sean Maitland, Jackson Wray, Manu Vunipola, Tim Swinson, Calum Clark, Tom de Glanville, Joel Kpoku, Simon Kerrod, Fergus McFadden, Juan Pablo Socino and Alex Lewington are the other players charged.
It is not clear which charges relate to which players.
Rugby is a laughing stock - Jones
England head coach Eddie Jones, whose side can win the Six Nations this weekend, said: "We understand that rugby at the moment is a bit of a laughing stock and we all love the game.
"No-one likes to see a game called off because of a breakdown in the protocols in society at the moment. That's what happened.
"It's not good for rugby, but we have got an opportunity to turn that around. It's a weight we carry and it's a weight that we will enjoy carrying.
"We are lucky enough to play the game at the highest level and we want to make sure we put the game back where it needs to be.
"We have a great game in rugby and we don't like to see it portrayed as something that isn't a serious sport, as it has been."
The cancellation of the England v Barbarians game cost the RFU around £1million in lost broadcast and sponsorship revenue, as well as a chance for England to warm-up for Saturday's clash with Italy in Rome.
The RFU - English rugby's governing body - said it would only publish players' names after the hearings because of the public scrutiny. It said that breaches of protocols included leaving the hotel without permission or without informing organisers of their whereabouts.
The players left their hotel bubble - contrary to team protocols - to have dinner, and a number of players also went to a central London pub.
Players may face fines, match bans "or any other suitable sanction", but there will be no police investigation into their actions.
The game's cancellation means England go into their final Six Nations fixture against Italy on Saturday having not played a competitive match since March.

Jamie Vardy is now Leicester's oldest ever scorer in Europe, at the age of 33 years and 292 days
Jamie Vardy became Leicester City's oldest European goalscorer as they beat AEK Athens to make it two wins from two in the Europa League.
The 33-year-old gave them the lead from a penalty after he was fouled by keeper Panagiotis Tsintotas.
The Foxes looked comfortable when Hamza Choudhury doubled the advantage with a smart side-footed finish.
But Muamer Tankovic gave AEK hope after ghosting in behind the Foxes defence moments after coming off the bench.
The former Fulham player almost equalised two minutes later but smashed his 10-yard shot over the crossbar.
Cengiz Under, on his first start for Leicester, almost restored the two-goal lead but his curling effort hit the woodwork.

Vardy is the key for Leicester again
Vardy's pace and finishing makes such a difference to Leicester and it was evident again in the Greek capital.
This was his return to the starting line-up after a calf injury - although he did come off the bench at the weekend to score the winner against Arsenal.
He made his own piece of history in Athens as he raced on to James Maddison's through ball and went round the keeper, who took him down.
Tsintotas got a touch to Vardy's spot-kick but it was too powerful to keep out.
He takes Wes Morgan's record as the oldest player to score for Leicester in Europe. Vardy is 33 years and 292 days, whereas Morgan was 240 days younger when he scored in the Champions League against Sevilla in March 2017.
The former England striker has won (four) and scored (five) more penalties in all competitions than anyone else who plays in Europe's top five leagues this season.
Maddison was impressive too, and his corner led to the second goal. AEK Athens could not clear and Wesley Fofana got the final touch before it ran to Choudhury, who confidently finished.
AEK have not won a home game in a European group stage in 13 games over 10 years, but they did make the Foxes work hard for their win after Tankovic's lively second-half appearance.
'The pitch was awful' - manager reaction
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers: "The guys are having to cope with all the injuries and games and are still churning out great results.
"It was a great win considering all the circumstances and all the players we have missing. They are still producing and doing very well.
"It was never going to be a fast-flowing game because the pitch was awful. It was a surface the players couldn't really trust. It was very difficult to play really fluent football."
AEK manager Massimo Carrera: "Given the performance from the guys there are mixed feelings. It's a bit bitter. In the first half we were a bit reserved and in the second we were very decisive.
"What we have to do is work hard on the good points and get better.

bbc--2020-10-29--Lille 2-2 Celtic: Visitors let slip two-goal lead

Last updated on .From the section European Football Celtic 's winless run extended to four games as they let slip a two-goal half-time lead in an engrossing Europa League stalemate in Lille .
But the French side roared back with goals from Zeki Celik and Jonathan Ikone to stay unbeaten this season .
Celtic hung on amid heavy pressure for their first point in Group H. AC Milan top the group after following up victory at Celtic Park with a 3-0 home win over Sparta Prague .
While inevitably deflated not to leave with victory , the Scottish champions can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looked daunting against a Lille side keeping pace with big-spending Paris St-Germain at the top of Ligue 1 .
And Neil Lennon 's side had to survive a shaky start in an incident-packed first half as Bain denied Boubakary Soumare before palming over a Yusuf Yazici free-kick .
The pendulum swung as the visitors grew in belief and began to dominate .
Albian Ajeti was in the thick of it .
The Swiss striker had a goal correctly ruled out for offside then blazed over six yards out from a Ryan Christie cutback @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was worth the wait .
Ajeti punished Celik 's heavy touch on the right flank as he stole possession with a backheel flick that sent Elyounoussi racing into space .
The Norwegian 's finish , curled into the far corner of the net from 25 yards , was exquisite .
His second was n't bad either .
Jeremie Frimpong dashed down the right then picked out Elyounoussi amid a ruck of Lille players in the penalty box , with his cushioned first-time shot creeping in at the far corner .
Bain - deputising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lifeline after Shane Duffy clipped the heels of David .
The contact looked a yard outside the box , but Bain made it a moot point as he stuck out a leg to stop David 's penalty down the middle .
The keeper had earned the good fortune that came his way moments later as he spilled a simple ball into the box and Sven Botman knocked it on to the top of the crossbar .
The second half was all about survival for Celtic as Lille dominated .
After centre-back Kristoffer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sneaked in at the back post to meet Adama Soumaoro 's flick-on from a corner and bundle home .
Lennon 's men had fleeting breakaways at the other end , but their lead was wiped out 15 minutes from time when Ikone 's drive deflected off Duffy .
What did we learn ?
Celtic are now on their longest run without victory since 2014 , yet this draw may well mark a turning point .
Lennon 's team looked much more like the free-flowing side of last season as they attacked with verve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And even though their lead disintegrated , Celtic dug in to make sure they did not leave empty-handed .
The return of Odsonne Edouard and Nir Bitton as substitutes after recovering from Covid-19 also strengthens Lennon 's options for a crucial run of fixtures at home and abroad .
What did they say ?
Celtic manager Neil Lennon : `` I was delighted with our approach to the game .
First half we were outstanding and on the counter-attack we could have won the game .

Two goals from Mohamed Elyounoussi (right) had Celtic in command at the break
Celtic can "take a lot of positives" despite letting slip a two-goal lead in their Europa League draw in Lille, says manager Neil Lennon.
Mohamed Elyounoussi's outstanding first-half double - and a Scott Bain penalty save - had Celtic on track for a first win in four games.
But the hosts hit back with goals from Zeki Celik and Jonathan Ikone as Celtic held on for a first point in Group H.
"I'm delighted with the character the players showed," said Lennon.
"We played really well. We got fatigued as the game went on and you could see the effects Covid has had on a few players.
"It says a lot when you come here and are disappointed not to win."
Celtic's task looked daunting against a Lille side keeping pace with big-spending Paris St-Germain at the top of Ligue 1.
After surviving a shaky start, Lennon's men began to dominate. Albian Ajeti was in the thick of it. The Swiss striker had a goal correctly ruled out for offside then blazed over six yards out from a Ryan Christie cutback.
Celtic's opener, though, was worth the wait. Ajeti punished Celik's heavy touch on the right flank as he stole possession with a backheel flick that sent Elyounoussi racing into space. The Norwegian's finish, curled into the far corner of the net from 25 yards, was exquisite.
His second wasn't bad either. Jeremie Frimpong dashed down the right then picked out Elyounoussi amid a ruck of Lille players in the penalty box, with his cushioned first-time shot creeping in at the far corner.
Bain - deputising for Vasilias Barkas - denied the hosts a lifeline after Shane Duffy clipped the heels of Jonathan David. The contact looked a yard outside the box, but Bain made it a moot point as he stuck out a leg to stop David's penalty down the middle.
The keeper had earned the good fortune that came his way moments later as he spilled a simple ball into the box and Sven Botman knocked it on to the top of the crossbar.
The second half was all about survival for Celtic as Lille dominated. After centre-back Kristoffer Ajer was forced off injured, Celik sneaked in at the back post to meet Adama Soumaoro's flick-on from a corner and bundle home.
The Scottish champions had fleeting breakaways at the other end, but their lead was wiped out 15 minutes from time when Ikone's drive deflected off Duffy.
Man of the match - Mohamed Elyounoussi
The Norwegian winger's superbly-taken goals capped an impressive individual display
What did we learn?
Celtic are now on their longest run without victory since 2014, yet this draw may well mark a turning point. Lennon's team looked much more like the free-flowing side of last season as they attacked with verve and flair in a thrilling first half.
And even though their lead disintegrated, Celtic dug in to make sure they did not leave empty-handed. The return of Odsonne Edouard and Nir Bitton as substitutes after recovering from Covid-19 also strengthens Lennon's options for a crucial run of fixtures at home and abroad.
What did they say?
Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "I was delighted with our approach to the game. First half we were outstanding and on the counter-attack we could have won the game."
'We played really well' - Lennon
What the stats say
Lille are winless in their past 13 European matches (including qualifiers) on home soil (D6 L7) since August 2012.
Away from home in the Europa League, Celtic have only managed to wins two of their 23 matches (D11 L10).
Celtic have lost just one of their past 11 away matches in all European competition (W6 D4), going unbeaten in the last four such games.
Lille have failed to keep a clean sheet in European competition in each of their last 13 matches, since a 0-0 draw with Everton in October 2014.
Celtic's Mohamed Elyounoussi has scored with three of his four shots on target in the Europa League this season.
What's next?
Celtic head to Hampden Park on Sunday for a Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen (14:30 GMT) delayed from last season.

bbc--2020-10-29--US election 2020: How many Americans have voted early so far?

Early voting is exactly what it sounds like - it 's where people are allowed to vote before the scheduled election day .
This can be either in-person at early voting stations , or absentee - that is , by post .
In-person early voting is common in Finland and Canada , while Switzerland , Germany and the UK accept postal votes .
In the US , this means people are able to cast their ballots before 3 November - either by post or in-person .
Early voting has steadily increased with each election year .
The number of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election was more than five times the number who voted early 24 years earlier , in 1992 .
And with the Covid-19 pandemic affecting everything this year , and some form of early voting under way in all 50 states , we 're already seeing record numbers of people casting their ballots ahead of time .
So who is voting early , and why ?
And what do some people have against it ?
Here 's what you need to know .
How many people have voted early so far this year ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ as of 29 October more than 80 million Americans had voted early - either by post or in person .
This is already more than the total number of early votes cast in the 2016 election .
This site is run by Michael McDonald , a professor at the University of Florida who specialises in early voting , and tracks the number of votes cast by state and overall .
By his count , the state with the highest number of early voters so far is Texas , where the 8.5 million total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state in 2016 .
The number of people who 've voted early so far is also already 58 % of the total number of people who voted in the election in 2016 .
As well as knowing where this year 's early voters live , we are also now getting a sense of who these voters are .
According to the Tufts University Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement ( Circle ) , more than five million young people - classified as those aged between 18 and 29 - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Polls have also shown that young voters could turn out in greater numbers this year than in the last election .
In 2016 , turnout was just over 46 % among 18 to 29-year-olds - while 71 % of people older than 65 voted .
This year , a Harvard Youth Poll suggests that as many as 63 % of people the same age will vote .
More African Americans are voting early this year , too .
According to analysis from data firm TargetSmart , more than six times as many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 18 October this year , compared to the same point in 2016 .
Why are so many people voting early ?
The traditional way of voting - thousands of people going to a single polling station on one particular day , queuing with other people for hours , and standing in polling booths that are in proximity to each other - is not conducive to social distancing measures , particularly when not all states have mandated face coverings indoors .
So for this election , at least 30 states have made adjustments to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people to cast absentee votes .

In North Carolina , the state 's board of elections extended the deadline for postal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up until 12 November would be counted - as long as they were postmarked on or before 3 November .
Some states have also brought the start date for early in-person voting forward from last year - for example , Texas moved its start date forward by six days , from 19 to 13 October .
And in Pennsylvania , the state supreme court ruled that ballots needed to be mailed in with a secrecy envelope hiding the identity of the voter .
However , because this decision was announced so soon before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ significant numbers of so-called `` naked ballots '' would be declared invalid .
There are also currently more than 300 lawsuits in 44 states concerning how absentee votes are counted , who is allowed to vote early , and how mail-in ballots are collected .

How could this impact the election ?

To clarify - there is no evidence of widespread fraud in the absentee voting system .

Early voting is exactly what it sounds like - it's where people are allowed to vote before the scheduled election day.
This can be either in-person at early voting stations, or absentee - that is, by post. In-person early voting is common in Finland and Canada, while Switzerland, Germany and the UK accept postal votes.
In the US, this means people are able to cast their ballots before 3 November - either by post or in-person.
Early voting has steadily increased with each election year. The number of people who voted early in the 2016 presidential election was more than five times the number who voted early 24 years earlier, in 1992.
And with the Covid-19 pandemic affecting everything this year, and some form of early voting under way in all 50 states, we're already seeing record numbers of people casting their ballots ahead of time.
Donald Trump is among those who has voted early, casting his vote in his home state of Florida.
But the process hasn't been universally popular.
So who is voting early, and why? And what do some people have against it? Here's what you need to know.
How many people have voted early so far this year?
According to the US Elections Project, as of 2 November more than 99 million Americans had voted early - either by post or in person. This is already more than the total number of early votes cast in the 2016 election.
This site is run by Michael McDonald, a professor at the University of Florida who specialises in early voting, and tracks the number of votes cast by state and overall.
Image source, EPA Image caption, The coronavirus pandemic has changed how people vote
By his count, the state with the highest number of early voters so far is California, where more than 12 million people have already voted.
Next is Texas, where the 9.7 million total has surpassed the total turnout for the state in 2016.
Florida has had more than 8.9 million early voters so far.
The number of people who've voted early so far is also already 72% of the total number of people who voted in the election in 2016.
Who is voting early?
As well as knowing where this year's early voters live, we are also now getting a sense of who these voters are.
First of all, we know that a lot of early voters this year are young.
According to the Tufts University Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (Circle), more than five million young people - classified as those aged between 18 and 29 - had cast early votes by 26 October.
About three million of those young votes were cast in 14 battleground states, Circle adds.
Polls have also shown that young voters could turn out in greater numbers this year than in the last election.
In 2016, turnout was just over 46% among 18 to 29-year-olds - while 71% of people older than 65 voted. This year, a Harvard Youth Poll suggests that as many as 63% of people the same age will vote.
More African Americans are voting early this year, too. According to analysis from data firm TargetSmart, more than six times as many black voters had cast early votes by 18 October this year, compared to the same point in 2016.
Why are so many people voting early?
One overarching reason is the coronavirus pandemic.
The traditional way of voting - thousands of people going to a single polling station on one particular day, queuing with other people for hours, and standing in polling booths that are in proximity to each other - is not conducive to social distancing measures, particularly when not all states have mandated face coverings indoors.
So for this election, at least 30 states have made adjustments to make it easier and more accessible for people to cast absentee votes.
This includes, for example, removing strict requirements for people to have an excuse to have a postal vote, or allowing people to cite their concerns about Covid-19 as their excuse.
Some states have also implemented ballot drop boxes, so people don't have to go to a crowded polling station, or have offered to prepay postage on election ballots that are sent in by post.
Others, such as California and Colorado, have proactively sent all eligible voters mail-in ballots - a practice known as universal mail-in voting.
In North Carolina, the state's board of elections extended the deadline for postal ballots, saying that any ballots received up until 12 November would be counted - as long as they were postmarked on or before 3 November.
Some states have also brought the start date for early in-person voting forward from last year - for example, Texas moved its start date forward by six days, from 19 to 13 October.
Minnesota and South Dakota were the earliest states to begin early voting, with in-person voting starting 46 days before the election.
And while not all states have in-person early voting, those that don't are accepting early mail-in ballots.
Having said that, voting early doesn't necessarily mean voting easily.
In Georgia, for example, thousands of people waited for hours to vote at in-person polling stations.

And in Pennsylvania, the state supreme court ruled that ballots needed to be mailed in with a secrecy envelope hiding the identity of the voter. However, because this decision was announced so soon before voting opened, it caused concern that significant numbers of so-called "naked ballots" would be declared invalid.
There are also currently more than 300 lawsuits in 44 states concerning how absentee votes are counted, who is allowed to vote early, and how mail-in ballots are collected. Republican-run states say restrictions are necessary to prevent voter fraud, but Democrats say these are attempts at voter suppression.
How could this impact the election?
Perhaps the most obvious way an increase in early voting will affect the election is by driving up overall turnout.
Prof McDonald, who runs the US Elections Project, told Reuters news agency that he predicts that a record 150 million people could vote in this election - which would be about 65% of eligible voters in the country, and the highest turnout by percentage since 1908.
And according to Prof McDonald's data so far, the mail-in ballots are already leaning towards a Democrat majority.
However, this isn't a reliable indicator of who will win the election in the end.
President Trump launched a campaign against postal voting earlier this year, arguing that expanded mail-in voting would lead to the "most corrupt election" in US history and promoting claims that people would be able to vote more than once in the absentee ballot system. His dislike of postal voting may influence some of his supporters to wait until election day to cast their vote in person.

Nice attack: Grief and anger in France after church stabbings Published 30 October 2020

Flowers and candles have been placed outside the church in the southern French city of Nice where three people were stabbed to death.
President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday's stabbings were an "Islamist terrorist attack". Security is being stepped up throughout France.
The 21-year-old Tunisian suspect arrived in the city the night before the attack, his brother told the BBC.
Meanwhile, France's interior minister said more militant attacks were likely.
"We need to understand that there have been and there will be other events such as these terrible attacks," said Gerald Darmanin. "We're at war against an ideology, Islamist ideology."
Security has been increased at places of worship and schools across France following two similar attacks within two weeks. Earlier this month a teacher was beheaded in a Paris suburb after showing controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to some of his pupils.
Mr Macron's subsequent defence of the right to publish the cartoons has stoked anger in several Muslim-majority countries.

Following the latest attack, police shot and wounded the suspected knifeman, who had only recently arrived in Europe. He is said to be in a critical condition in hospital.
President Emmanuel Macron has ordered that the number of soldiers being deployed to protect public places - such as churches and schools - rises from 3,000 to 7,000.
Meanwhile, police investigating the attack have made a second arrest.
What do we know about the victims?
The two women and a man were attacked inside the basilica in the morning before the first Mass of the day.
Two died inside the church. One of them, a 60-year-old woman who has not been named, was "virtually beheaded" close to the font, according to the French chief anti-terrorism prosecutor.
French media have named one victim as 55-year-old Vincent Loquès, a devout Catholic who had reportedly worked at the basilica for more than 10 years.
Mr Loquès, a father of two loved by many of the church's regulars, was opening the building when the attacker slit his throat, police say.

The third victim was named by the Brazilian foreign ministry as Simone Barreto Silva, a 44-year-old mother of three born in Salvador on Brazil's north-eastern coast. She had lived in France for 30 years.
She fled to a nearby cafe with multiple stab wounds but died shortly afterwards. "Tell my children that I love them," she told those who tried to help her, according to French media.

On Friday morning, priest Philippe Asso stood on the church steps with other mourners before walking in with a wreath to the victims.
Others gathered outside the church to pay their respects.

Nice resident Frederic Lefèvre, 50, said he knew Mr Loquès.
"This is a tragedy once again," he said. "We're a free country, we have demonstrated freedom to all countries of the world. Today, this freedom is closing in on us. Life needs to be lived for everyone."
Marc Mercier, 71, called the killings a "catastrophe".
"It's appalling. It's been years that we've been saying that fear should shift to the other side [attackers] but it is still the same."
Peace seems far from reach
Outside the doors of Notre-Dame, the bright light of a Nice morning rose on small collections of flowers and candles left by local residents last night. The message on one bouquet reads: "Nice is still standing. Rest in peace."
For the living, though, peace seems far from reach. We met the treasurer of Notre-Dame, Jean-Francois Gourdon, outside the church. He knew Vincent Loquès well. He told me how he'd left Vincent in the church on Thursday morning, just before the attack, and returned to find him dead - a large wound to his throat. Telling his wife was awful, he said. She'd been planning celebrations for his birthday this week.
This is the third terrorist attack France has suffered in just over a month. After a knife attack on staff at a television company in Paris, and the beheading of a history teacher in a nearby suburb, there are now three more victims.
President Macron has said the country "will never give in" to "Islamist terrorist attacks". But this is just one crisis among others. France has seen a sharp surge in coronavirus infections this month and - despite real fears for the economy - is re-entering national lockdown from today.
For the next month at least, the rhythms of life will be disrupted - and in Nice, the mourning will take place behind closed doors.
What do we know about the suspect?
Police sources named the man as Brahim Aouissaoui. Prosecutors said he had arrived by boat on the Italian island of Lampedusa as a migrant last month and after quarantining had been ordered to travel on.
Image source, Reuters Image caption, Brahim al-Aouissaoui is suspected of carrying out the attack
He arrived in Nice by train and had no papers except for a Red Cross document from Italy, investigators said. A Tunisian official said he had not been listed as a suspected militant.
Speaking to the BBC at the family home near the Tunisian port city of Sfax, Brahim Aouissaoui's older brother, Yasine, said the pair had spoken on Wednesday night.
Image source, Reuters Image caption, Brahim Aouissaoui's mother, Gamra, and family reacted with shock to news of the attack and his arrest
"He was sleeping the night before [the attack] on the stairs of some building in the area where he had been shot," he said. "He told me that in the morning he would try to find someone he knew to help him."
Yasine also described his brother as "a friendly person" who "never showed extremism". The suspect's mother, Gamra, said: "May God show the truth."
Image source, EPA Image caption, The suspect was detained minutes after the attack at the basilica
Witnesses said the attacker repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) before being shot by police.
A Koran, two telephones and a 30cm (12-inch) knife were found on him, said French chief anti-terrorist prosecutor Jean-François Ricard.
"We also found a bag left by the attacker. Next to this bag were two knives that were not used in the attack," he added.
Two men have now been arrested by police investigating the attacks.
The first, a 47-year-old man believed to have been in contact with the suspect, was detained by police late on Thursday, French media reported.
The second, aged 35, was arrested on Friday evening. He had also had contact with Aouissaoui, police sources told AFP.
France has raised its national security alert to the highest level.
