Liverpool complete signing of striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt

Liverpool have completed the signing of striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. A deal was reached between the two clubs on Monday for the 23-year-old to join Arne Slot's Premier League champions, which the PA news agency understands to be for a guaranteed £69million plus a potential £10million in add-ons. Advertisement The striker, who scored 22 goals for Frankfurt in all competitions last season, flew to England on Tuesday to undergo a medical ahead of the deal's completion and will now travel to Asia to join his new Liverpool team-mates on their pre-season tour. PA understands Newcastle and Manchester United had been interested in Ekitike, whose capture continues Liverpool's summer spending spree. Florian Wirtz arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in an initial £100m deal that could rise to £116m, while Jeremie Frimpong also joined from the German club in a £29.5m switch and Milos Kerkez left Bournemouth for £40m. Giorgi Mamardashvili has also linked up with Liverpool after agreeing a move from Valencia last August, along with fellow goalkeepers Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman. Advertisement

EU, China plan joint statement on climate change, sources say

BRUSSELS, July 23 (Reuters) - The European Union and China are preparing to agree a joint declaration on tackling climate change at a summit in Beijing on Thursday, EU diplomats told Reuters. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa will visit Beijing on Thursday and meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, among other senior officials. The climate declaration is not expected to include new pledges, but instead reaffirm the two sides' commitment to address climate change, despite the EU and China being at odds over other issues including trade disputes and Russia's war in Ukraine. The summit is not expected to yield major agreements or declarations on other issues, said the diplomats, who were granted anonymity to discuss the confidential EU-China summit preparations. Both China and the EU have pledged to deliver new commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ahead of this year's U.N. COP30 climate summit in November in Brazil. Both missed a February U.N. deadline to submit their new pledges. A joint commitment on global warming by the two major economies would also stand in contrast to the stance of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, which has pulled the world's biggest economy out of global negotiations on climate change and rolled back U.S. CO2-cutting policies.

White House trots out Tulsi Gabbard to push narrative Obama led Russian interference claims and ‘coup' against Trump

Donald Trump's intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard ranted about a 'coup' supposedly launched by Barack Obama at a White House briefing on Wednesday as the Trump administration returns to the 'Russiagate' investigation as a lifeline for an embattled president. Trump is facing the loudest uproar from his base in years over his administration's efforts to tamp down on speculation surrounding the death and crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile. In early July, the Department of Justice and FBI declared in a joint statement that no 'client list' detailing Epstein's co-conspirators could be found within the DOJ's files; the statement also reiterated the agencies' conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in 2019. On Wednesday, the president's weeks-long effort to find a distraction to turn his base's focus from that statement resulted in the director of the U.S. intelligence community declaring behind the White House podium that former president Barack Obama ordered intelligence assessments to be doctored to include the assertion that Russia was working directly to elect Donald Trump. Gabbard called the investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign a years-long 'coup' orchestrated by the former president, something that Obama dismissively rejected in a rare statement this week condemning the Trump administration's latest claims.
