A 15-month investigation by reporters at The Los Angeles Times and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism found the Tomb is barely holding it together as it is—but rising sea levels and higher temperatures triggered by anthropogenic climate change could tip it over the edge and leak (more) toxic waste into the surrounding areas. Runit Dome was built in the 1970s to store more than 3.1 million cubic feet of nuclear debris after years of atomic testing conducted by the U....

This week on Dynamite, Toni Storm and Willow Nightingale went toe-to-toe with each other in a singles match. While the bout looked balanced, Willow seemed to get ahead near the end of the match before Saraya appeared to interfere in the contest. The distraction proved to be enough for Storm to pick up the win. Post-match, Saraya and Toni Storm cemented their heel turn by attacking Willow Nightingale. Despite the twist, the angle seemingly failed to impress the All Elite fans as they took to Twitter to comment on the booking....

Two Golden Boots and more than 100 Premier League goals have seen him do just that, with a former Director of the Arsenal Youth Academy conceding that a poor judgement call was made on Kane in his younger years....

The troops at the checkpoint considered themselves lucky. At least they weren’t among the thousands of barely trained, poorly equipped Russian conscripts trapped inside the Chechen capital when it fell to the rebels last week. Even the separatists, who have battled without mercy to retake the city, say they pity the teenage Russian grunts. ““We are not fighting against the conscripts,’’ said Hassan Beybulatov, 45, commander of a Chechen-run checkpoint three miles down the road....

Lukaku has endured a below-par campaign so far. While he missed a chunk of the season due to injury, the Belgian has struggled to impress consistently since returning to action. The 28-year-old has recorded just ten goals from 28 matches across all competitions this term.

Cascarino believes that Thomas Tuchel’s side could start looking for ways to survive without the striker’s goals if his barren run continues....

[HTML1] Anti-heroes can be difficult to write, but one way to immediately make them more sympathetic is simply by making sure that they’re the least evil character in the room. Garrett, the protagonist of the Thief series, lives in a city that seems to be largely occupied by despots, bullies and snobs, and by comparison he’s actually quite the charmer. In Eidos Montreal’s Thief reboot, the developers are introducing an Elmer Fudd to Garrett’s Roger Rabbit in the form of the Thief Taker General: a bounty hunter who earns his coin by stringing up the petty thieves of the City, and who finds himself with a new challenge when the master thief strolls back into town....

The Jamaica international led the Foxes to a scarcely believable Premier League triumph in May, as Claudio Ranieri’s underdogs showed admirable bottle to romp home 10 points clear of Arsenal. This season, Leicester seem to be suffering something of a hangover from their unlikely success, Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth leaving them 14th, just four points clear of the relegation zone....

More than a dozen other children were not so lucky. They had been annihilated while they opened their juice cartons for breakfast. By Saturday night, the official death toll was more than 80, and scores more were still missing, probably buried in the rubble. At first, the nation wanted to believe that the terrorists came from afar. But as the FBI closed in on local losers with an alleged penchant for guns and a knack for building crude bombs, the realization sank in that the hate that had created this horror was homegrown, and never far away....
