[ad_1] THE EU is demanding harsh punishments for any post-Brexit trade deal rule breaking, claiming the UK can no longer be trusted. EU leaders, including French president Emmanuel Macron, will use a summit starting on Thursday to lobby for tough enforcement powers if a trade deal is struck, The Financial Times reports. The leaders will urge the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier to ensure Brussels can take rapid retaliatory action if Britain breaches its commitments to any deal. The demand is understood to be retaliation for Boris Johnson’s move to override the Brexit treaty – something EU diplomats claim…

[ad_1] If you’d have told me six months ago that the first proper Xbox Series X game I’d ever play would be Yakuza: Like a Dragon, I’m not sure I’d have guessed it. But now that I’ve spent some time wandering the streets of Japan with my party members in this modern-day-set RPG, I’d also never have guessed how much fun I’d have with this delightfully bizarre, completely self-aware adventure. If, like me, this Xbox Series X launch title is your first Yakuza game, the good news is that Sega describes Like a Dragon as an entry point for newcomers;…

[ad_1] Liverpool and Manchester United’s controversial ‘Project Big Picture’ idea has reportedly been welcomed by League One and Two clubs in desperate need of financial assistance. The plan, launched on Sunday and supported by EFL chief Rick Parry, would immediately provide around £350million to be shared among struggling Football League clubs, the National League, the women’s game and grassroots football. While such initiatives are to be welcomed of course, this plan seems to come at the cost of the bigger clubs grabbing more power in the English game. Both the Carabao Cup and Community Shield would be axed as part…

[ad_1] Before you play games on your new Xbox Series X, reset your expectations. The value of the next-generation consoles is not in the graphics — at least not this year. The real benefits at launch will be the invisible but appreciable quality-of-life improvements. The upgrades aren’t so glamorous, but I suspect you’ll love them once you notice them. Over the past week, I had the opportunity to finally play next-gen video games on my Xbox Series X. I sunk hours into the arcade racing game Dirt 5 and the turn-based role-playing game Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Both of these…

[ad_1] Fly-half Finn Russell is back in the Scotland squad for the autumn internationals after making up with head coach Gregor Townsend. Russell has been named in the 40-man party nine months after being turfed out of the Six Nations squad before a game had been played over an initial argument around drinking. That incident led to an ongoing rift between Russell and Townsend being aired in public, with Russell revealing all in an explosive newspaper interview. But Russell is now back after showing some majestic form for French giants Racing 92. The squad also includes three uncapped players in…

[ad_1] The boss of the UK’s largest dairy supplier has warned shoppers they will have to pay more for grocery essentials including butter and cheese if the UK leaves the EU without a deal in January. Ash Amirahmadi, who leads dairy giant Arla’s UK operations, also warned that timing of Brexit talks mean that many food suppliers could “struggle” to manage a no deal or late deal in the face of coronavirus disruption and Christmas demand. Retailers have warned that products could be slapped by with more than £3 billion of tariffs if the UK walks away from Brexit talks…

[ad_1] Di’Shon Bernard is the most likely of Manchester United’s young players to head out on loan this week. United have already sent a number of academy stars out on loan this summer, with Max Taylor the latest to follow Under-23 teammates Dylan Levitt, James Garner, Tahith Chong, Matej Kovar and Aliou Traore in securing a temporary move. And MEN Sport understands centre-back Bernard, 19, has been in talks with League One and League Two clubs over a possible loan until the end of the season.

The development came in a legal challenge by Mr Finucane’s widow to the British Government’s delay in acting on a finding that his death has never been properly investigated. Geraldine Finucane’s barrister described the ongoing hold-up as…

[ad_1] With the new generation a month away, I finally got my hands on a true next-gen title after putting the new Xbox Series X through the paces with backwards compatible games. Dirt 5 is a visual treat; mud flings into the air as you throw on your handbreak to cut around a corner as the sun slices through deep blue sky in blinding fashion. The visual leap forward is noticeable, but I was most impressed by how smooth everything feels. Dirt 5 capitalizes on the speed emphasis of the Xbox Series X, loading detailed environments with several cars in just…
