Liverpool face Exeter City in the FA Cup third round on Friday night with 11 first-team players unavailable due to injury, six of those ruled out with hamstring problems.

Jordon Ibe also picked up a hamstring injury in training yesterday so he joins Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Jordan Henderson, Daniel Sturridge, Joe Gomez, Divock Origi, Jordan Rossiter and Danny Ings on the sidelines meaning Liverpool are without 12 first team players.

“We have to make decisions for the team and make changes”.

Jurgen Klopp has urged his Liverpool youngsters to be “more robust” after avoiding an FA Cup upset with a 2-2 draw at League Two side Exeter.

“The team which will play tomorrow will want to win this game for sure with 100 per cent of everything they have, but it will be a team that hasn’t played too often together. We know about our situation, but we have to react and that is what we try to do”.

“Now we have to think about it. Maybe versus Tottenham [on October 17 – Klopp’s first game in charge] it was more intensive than other games, but they are completely normal averages for running”.

If they do well they can quickly take the next step, but if not they have time.

But Grecians boss Paul Tisdale promises Liverpool will be meeting fearless opponents in front of the live television cameras.

“Our squad is big with all the young players and we have to use this quality now”. It’s been ten years since we lifted the FA Cup – too long for a club the size and prestige of Liverpool, but Klopp has a job on his hands if he wants to end that run.

That takes the total number of Liverpool players missing from action to an eye-watering 13.

In his interview for the Daily Mail Subotic said: “You go into a room and see people laughing and you know he is in the middle just being himself”.

Tiago Ilori, Kevin Stewart and Ryan Kent all made their debuts on Friday and, with Liverpool’s lengthy injury list, Klopp could be forced to call on his younger players again soon with Premier League clashes against Arsenal and Manchester United next up.

“Their second goal was something like a miracle that the ball was in and then in an atmosphere like this and with legs getting exhausted … we had a few more moments but not enough”. We’re really pleased, not just with anticipation for the game but also what it means for a club like Exeter City.

Several countries have rallied with Saudi Arabia.

Iran has accused Saudi warplanes of attacking the Iranian embassy in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen. Saudi allies in the region, such as Bahrain, have followed suit.

According to the Mehr news agency, citing an informed source at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, the reports that the Iranian ambassador had been summoned to the Turkish Foreign Ministry is false.

Kuwait has recalled its ambassador to Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, a significant trading partner of Iran’s, downgraded diplomatic relations.

Iran’s annual exports to Saudi Arabia are worth about $130 million a year and are mainly steel, cement and agricultural products.

Within hours of the embassy attack, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani called the violence “totally unjustified” but accused Saudi Arabia Tuesday of focusing attention on the incident to “cover its crime” of executing Nimr.

“We hope that this dispute can be settled immediately through diplomacy”, Hasan said.

But it has been modifying its stance recently, he says, bringing it more into line with the Saudis and other Gulf states.

Qatar has had troubled relations with Saudi Arabia in the past, but ties have improved in recent years, and both countries are leading backers of the Syrian rebels fighting to oust President Bashar Assad.

Meanwhile, Iraq offered to mediate to find a solution for the crisis between the two countries.

“This responsibility has been given to us and we have been active from the early moments to lessen tensions to prevent a disaster from happening that could affect the entire region”, he said.

“Our patience with the Saudis has not yet worn out”, said the analyst, Hamid Reza Taraghi, who is close to hard-line Iranian leaders.

He said: “This trend of creating tension must stop”.

The tensions between the Sunni and Shiite powers have reverberated across the Middle East and the Muslim world, complicating efforts to resolve conflicts in Syria and Yemen.

Saudi’s embassy in Tehran and consulate in Mashhad were attacked by Iranian protesters after the kingdom executed prominent Shia cleric Nimr Al Nimr and 46 others for terrorism offences on Saturday.

Saudi officials could not immediately be reached for comment on the Iranian claims, though the kingdom’s deputy crown prince, widely thought to wield considerable power in the monarchy, said he didn’t believe war would break out with Iran.

Thomson ReutersTexas governor Greg Abbott speaks during an interview on the floor of the New York Stock ExchangeTexas Governor Greg Abbott called for a conference of the states to add new nine amendments to the U.S. Constitution, saying the U.S. Congress, the President and U.S. Supreme Court are eroding the rule of law in the country. It harkens back to efforts in the 1960s to amend the U.S. Constitution to thwart socially liberal decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Prohibit Congress from regulating something that only happens in one state.

· Prohibit administrative agencies-and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them-from creating federal law.

Prohibit “administrative agencies” from preempting state law.

Further, it would allow U.S. Supreme Court decisions to be overridden by a two-thirds majority of states.

“Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution”.

Under Article 5 of the Constitution, calling a constitutional conventional requires the support of the legislatures in two-thirds of the states.

The majority of the amendments directly contradict the very spirit of the U.A. Constitution (particularly the Supremacy Clause and the notion that the Supreme Court exists to safeguard against the “tyranny of the majority”).

“The president took action that threatens Second Amendment rights, even though the entire point of the Bill of Rights was to protect Americans from invasions of their liberties”, Abbott said in his prepared remarks.

“Until we fix the foundation by restoring the rule of law in this nation”, Abbott said, “the repairs that we seek through the policies you propose will never lead to lasting solutions”.

It also immediately takes a swipe at Rep. Nancy Pelosi, quoting albeit not naming her, in a House procedural discussion on Obamacare.

“One of the things I’m going to do on my first day in office is I will put the prestige and power of the presidency behind a constitutional convention of the states”, Rubio said in Iowa.

A few of the other amendments seem either somewhat redundant (the Tenth Amendment already covers all of the ground that Abbott’s seventh item does) or vague to the point of meaninglessness (what does it mean for a federal official to “overstep their bounds”?).

The goal, according to Abbott, is to limit the power of the federal government, and give more power to the states.

“The number of states have to come together, ban together, demanding an Article V convention that’s guaranteed under the constitution”, Henneke said. GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio, a US senator from Florida, called for a constitutional convention in an op-ed published Wednesday in USA Today.

Abbott released an entirely insane, wholly unworkable, but very ambitious plan to kneecap the major powers of the federal government. Our Fight to Save America from Washington – was copyrighted by the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

A 22-year-old woman was arrested Thursday night after she allegedly attacked a flight attendant during a United flight from NY to Chicago, forcing the pilots to make an emergency landing in Detroit to have her removed from the plane.

Cellphone video taken by a passenger shows police carrying Farquharson down the aisle after the plane made an emergency landing at Detroit Metro Airport at 8:15 p.m.

Content Preview This content is exclusive for Optimum, Time Warner, Comcast, customers with access to News 12.

She became violent after the flight attendant spilled a beverage and attempted to clean it up.

According to WXYZ-TV, the flight attendant and other passengers who were assaulted plan to file charges.

In a court filing, the Federal Bureau of Investigation says Farquharson scratched a flight attendant’s lip and pulled a necklace and employee badge off her after “frantically” requesting to get off the plane, 30 minutes into the flight.

According to Goldgraben, “three or four guys instantly” rushed back and subdued the woman until the plane landed in Detroit, where she was taken into custody. “We don’t want her in a position where we can’t see her arms”.

However, the other passengers on the plane were quick to act. It continued on to O’Hare International Airport, arriving about an hour late.

In 2014, the number of users of Facebook Messenger was over 550 million.

Facebook Inc’s Messenger app surpassed 800 million users, the company said on Thursday, making it the fastest-growing app of 2015 according to research firm Nielsen.

Facebook was the top smartphone messenger application which had more than 126 million average unique users each month. In relation to Messenger, it recently announced that photo sharing in the feature was growing at a fast rate with over 9.5 billion photos sent each month alone. The company is also working with Uber Technologies, a ride-hailing app, to allow Messenger users to request a ride. David Marcus (ex-Paypal), who now heads Facebook’s messaging product, revealed that Facebook Messenger has crossed more than 800 million users.

Facebook is also testing a digital assistant called M, which operates through Messenger. This way, users aren’t forced to download an app for one objective anymore, since they can use Messenger for all of their social needs.

Please enter your email. However, you can be sure that whatever Facebook has in mind it’s going to be useful and cool at the same time.

In March, Facebook launched Businesses on Messenger, which enables Messenger users to interact with businesses via the app. For example, a shopper checking out on a retailer’s site might opt to receive shipping updates via Messenger, or later on use Messenger to chat with customer service about to ask about how to return an order.

Facebook posted an illustration (call it a mini infographic if you’d like) that lists all of the changes made past year, and some of the trends it looks to explore in 2016.

Marcus’s announcement included a recap of the flurry of new features released on Messenger in 2015, including its artificial intelligence assistant M, integration with Uber, and ways for third-parties to provide emojis and other content to users. Because, now, Messenger is a platform which can accomplish so many things other than sending a message online, the company is preparing the mobile app to become the primary platform for accessing online services like reaching to customer support, product purchases, etc. Plus it’s worth remembering that numerous messaging apps in common use now require phone numbers for security. Not only this, but Facebook owns WhatsApp as well. In fact, I may shift my primary chat communications away from texting, iOS Messages, Google Hangouts, Skype, and a few other services simply to embrace Facebook’s platform. “We believe we have so much more opportunity ahead of us, and these are still the early days of Messenger“. “We hope you’ll enjoy these improvements”, he said.

“Though day one was a success because of the New Year celebrations, we will have to see how it works on Monday”, said Ankit Sharma near Moolchand Metro station in south Delhi.

India’s capital city saw a better-than-expected response to new odd-even licence plate restrictions on the first day of a drive to cut down pollution and regulate vehicle traffic. Cars carrying people with disabilities will also be allowed on the roads on all days.

The traffic flow which was relatively less in the morning increased noon onwards with volunteers on roads ensuring plying of even cars. But with schools and colleges shut, and many offices closed for the New Year’s holiday, it was not clear how much of the reduced traffic was the result of the new regulations. “Delhiites are too used to their cars“, Kirti Lal, who commutes by bus, told Agence France-Presse.

Under the Delhi government’s new rule, if vehicles with license numbers ending with odd numbers are out one day, it will be the turn of vehicles with license numbers ending with even numbers the following day, and so on.

Kejriwal, who owns an odd-numbered auto, went to his office from home by carpooling with two of his ministers – Transport Minister Gopal Rai and Health Minister Satyendar Jain.

On the pollution front, authorities released conflicting reports on the impact of the vehicular restrictions on January 1 primarily due to different comparative parameters.

Arvind Kejriwal, the city’s top elected official and the architect of the plan, told reporters that he was “overwhelmed” by the response to the new rules.

Offenders are being fined Rs 2,000 by traffic policemen and officials. Anumita Roychowdhury, the executive director of the Centre for Science and Environment, said pulling cars off the road will raise public awareness over air pollution, and force the government to improve mass transit systems.

On January 1, the first prosecution for violating the odd-even scheme took place at ITO junction about 33 minutes after the restrictions became operational at 8am today. Exceptions have been made for medical emergencies, women, VIPs, CNG cars and two-wheelers.

Delhi’s air routinely worsens in the winter months, as millions of poor people light fires for warmth and the cold air and cloud cover traps pollutants. Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has staked a lot of political capital on the scheme, thanked Delhiites and called it the start of a “movement”.

The prosecution figures exceeded 100 in a few hours of the scheme being put into effect, sharp at 8 AM today, the official said.

The transport department, which had enforcement teams out on the roads across the capital, also fined 140 autorickshaw drivers on the basis of 200 complaints received against them.

“There are so many flaws in this Odd-Even formula”.

Here is the latest in the scheduled execution of Oscar Ray Bolin in Florida.

(Chris Urso/The Tampa Tribune via AP, Pool).

All of his convictions were reversed at least twice due to legal errors, but new juries found him guilty again in all three cases. The Florida Supreme Court rejected a request for a stay of execution and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit also on Monday declined to grant a stay. The meal included a steak, baked potato, salad and lemon meringue pie.

Gov. Rick Scott signed Bolin’s death warrant in October. The 26-year-old Matthews was abducted from a post office in Pasco County, just north of Tampa. Bolin also received a death sentence for the murder of 17-year-old Stephanie Collins and 25-year-old Natalie Holley. All three women were stabbed. But Bolin’s case made a mockery of the justice system for decades. An appeals court once overturned a murder conviction because it held the trial judge did not properly instruct the jury on manslaughter, a lesser conviction.

Among the 40 people who attended the execution was Matthews’ mother Kathleen Reeves, who said she was relieved Bolin was executed.

“As to the possibility of ever forgiving Oscar Ray Bolin for (murdering my daughter) it will never happen”, she said.

“I didn’t know ‘em, never seen ‘em, never met ‘em”, he said.

Natalie Holley’s sister, Anita Holley, told the Tampa Bay Times she would attend the execution.

Bolin was set to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Florida State Prison in Starke. When the authorities first confronted Bolin about the killings, he was already serving a 22- to 75-year prison sentence in an OH prison for a 1987 rape of a 20-year-old woman outside of Toledo.

But cops said Oscar Ray Bolin’s first victim was Holley, and that she was abducted after she left work at a Tampa restaurant in 1986.

“For him to be strapped on a gurney and be injected with poison and murdered and killed I think that’s disgusting”, Brunvand told reporters outside of the prison about 30 minutes later.

While on trial, a woman who was on the defense team fell in love with Bolin. Rosalie Martinez had been a paralegal at the Hillsborough Public Defender’s office who was married to a prominent Tampa attorney.

The 53-year-old maintains he’s innocent. The Department of Corrections says he’s been calm and in good spirits.

“I can not imagine the pain they have suffered”, he said of the victims’ families. He claimed that evidence used to find him guilty was planted and tampered with.

Props to the Miss Colombia look alike, btw!

Of the various interviews that reigning Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach has been to, her recent meeting with the hosts of 95.5 PLJ in NY has been one of the best yet. Wurtzbach gracefully walked the stage with her Karen Millen dress and pumps.

It’s been nearly a month since Steve Harvey embarrassingly announced the wrong Miss Universe, but the world still isn’t done joking about it.

“I don’t really have the time to cook although I’m a culinary graduate and I love to cook and I also love to eat”, she said. “I feel like it doesn’t matter to them, the feelings of a girl who has worked her whole life for a dream”.

In a phone interview with CNN Philippines on Thursday (January 7), Wurtzbach revealed that she just learned about the details of her homecoming hours prior to her interview.

If you think the issue about the 2015 Miss Universe is finally over, you are definitely wrong!

During the controversial ending to the live 2015 Miss Universe pageant, American host Steve Harvey erroneously crowned Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the victor instead of Wurtzbach.

“Did I make a mistake?” We gotta do something!’ That’s all I’m hearing, all the confusion of everybody backstage. “These are some of the things that I want to talk about aside from raising awareness on HIV/AIDS”, Wurtzbach said. “I’m so excited, I can’t wait to start my reign”.

“The way it was written, it was a little confusing”, she said.

When asked about independence, she said “at the end of the day, it will be my responsibility alone and nobody else”.

“I think that the USA and the Philippines have always had a good relationship with each other”. Although she’s probably getting a lot more attention than a first runner-up normally would given Harvey’s massive faux pas, she definitely doesn’t need to see her moment being parodied like it was on tonight’s People’s Choice Awards.

China’s securities regulator issued rules on Thursday to restrict share sales by listed companies’ major shareholders, saying the move will stabilise market expectations but doesn’t signal an imminent exit of the “national team” of investors.

Under the circuit breaker system, markets were suspended for 15 minutes if the CSI 300 index of Shanghai and Shenzen stocks fell by five per cent.

Some analysts said the rules were less draconian than expected, as the restrictions do not apply to shares acquired in the secondary market, or share sales outside the exchanges’ bidding system, such as block trades, or negotiated transfers.

While China’s economy is showing signs of stability after decelerating to its slowest annual pace since 1990, investors are concerned how deftly, or ineptly, the authorities will manage its equities and the currency.

The regulator’s statement came after the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index suffered a 10 percent loss in a week, with market shutdowns on Monday and Thursday triggered by the circuit breaker mechanism.

As the heavy loss in the stock market this week coincided with the new circuit breaker mechanism, there was also debate over whether the mechanism has produced the desired effects.

Authorities say shares bought by state companies will be transferred to China’s sovereign wealth fund to avoid depressing prices by selling them in the open market. “Investors need time to adapt to the new rules”.

This was a troubling development after US markets posted another turbulent session Wednesday as investors got blindsided by yet another early-year shock: claims from North Korea hat it successfully tested a powerful hydrogen bomb. If the Hushen 300 declines by over 7 percent, trading is halted for the day. The sell-off was in part due to fears that a regulatory ban on share sales imposed during last year’s summer rout will expire on Friday. The latest geopolitical flare-up in an increasingly volatile world prompted investors to sell stocks and reduce risk. Chen Gang, who helps oversee the equivalent of$46m as the chief investment officer at Shanghai Heqi Tongyi Asset Management, dumped his firm’s equity holdings. The index dived a further 2 percent in just 2 minutes after reopening at 9:57 a.m., and trading was ceased.
