Justin Bieber fans have pleaded for him to “get help” over some concerning new photos. The star took to his Instagram page and shared a collection of selfies which included close up face shots and blurry images.

He went on to caption the post: “U could point at my flaws. Or u could recognize ur own lil b****,” before adding a red droplet emoji. However, this sparked concern by fans as they took to the comments of several posts to leave their own messages to see if Justin is doing well.

One person said: “Awh good love him seriously struggling it’s looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it’s to late.” As a second wrote: “So hard and sad to watch. Why are the people around him not helping him when he’s clearly struggling. He’s not clear at all and hurting.”

Or divorce Hailey then get therapy idk man but you need to get yourself together for Jack,” one added, with another writing: “I love you and I’m praying for you. You’re so many peoples idols.

However, the musician was also seen with a knee brace. It indicated that he had hurt his left knee but hasn’t revealed what happened.

After the images were obtained by the Mail, Justin appeared to have removed the knee support for his next social media update. He was seen smiling while wearing a pair of blue leggings.

Fans joked he should: “Stop playing and give hailey her leggings back.” Another joked: “This is what i wear to Pilates Justin.”

Fans begged Justin to take a break for himself after an outburst on social media. The dad-of-one, who is married to Hailey Bieber, took to Instagram to voice how he was feeling.

In the post, which he wrote over a pink background, he shared with his followers: “Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else’s kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn’t have. The audacity. That’s not your place. God decides what we deserve.”

England ‘got away with it’ against Andorra – Kane

England captain Harry Kane says his side “got away with it” in their 1-0 win against Andorra in a performance that “wasn’t good enough”.

In a disappointing display against a team ranked 173rd in the world, England won courtesy of a solitary Kane goal after 50 minutes in Barcelona.

England were booed by some of their fans at half-time and full-time, while manager Thomas Tuchel said his side “lacked the seriousness and the urgency that is needed in a World Cup qualifier”.

“It wasn’t our greatest performance”, said Kane, whose goal took his tally to 72 for England.

“I don’t think it’s one many people are going to remember, that’s for sure, but it’s three points in the bag.

” But, yeah, for sure we know we can play better in all aspects, both with and without the ball.

“It’s down to us now to analyse it, look back and try and learn from it because condition-wise it’s going to be very similar to next summer – dry pitch, warm weather, humid”.

He added: “It]the goal] was probably our best move and we just didn’t have enough of that, both with probably the runs and also the quality – a lot of balls kind of overhit, out of play, and it just kind of killed our momentum, especially there in the second half”.

The 2026 World Cup will be held across Canada, Mexico and the United States.

England beat Latvia and Albania in their first two World Cup qualifiers in March before the win against Andorra.

They are top of Group K, with Albania second on four points, Latvia third with three points after two games, Serbia fourth with one point from one game and Andorra bottom.

Kane added: “We were just lacking quality]against Andorra], looked a bit fatigued both physically and mentally and, yeah, we got away with it because we’re a good team and they had a couple of half-chances where we didn’t get punished. But ultimately, it wasn’t good enough”.

” The government sympathises deeply with the victims and prays that Allah replenishes their losses, “he said.

Los Angeles unrest: Is Trump allowed to deploy National Guard troops?

United States President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of 2,000 members of the National Guard to Los Angeles County to quell protests against coordinated immigration raids, bypassing the authority of the governor of California.

The extraordinary development came on Saturday, the second day of protests, amid clashes between law enforcement officers and demonstrators in the city.

The Los Angeles Police Department said Saturday’s demonstrations were peaceful and that “the day concluded without incident”. But in the two cities south of Los Angeles, Compton and Paramount, street battles broke out between protesters and police who used tear gas and flashbangs to disperse the crowds.

Local authorities did not request federal assistance. On the contrary, California Governor Gavin Newsom called Trump’s decision to call in National Guard troops “purposefully inflammatory”.

He accused the Trump administration of ordering the deployment “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle”.

How did it start?

It all started on Friday, when law enforcement officials in full riot gear descended on Los Angeles, rounding up day labourers at a building supply shop.

The raids, part of a military-style operation, signalled a step up in the Trump administration’s use of force in its crackdown against undocumented immigrants. The arrests were carried out without judicial warrants, according to multiple legal observers and the American Civil Liberties Union.

The Department of Homeland Security said more than 100 undocumented immigrants have been arrested in two days of raids across southern California.

After word spread through southern Los Angeles of immigration agents arresting people, residents came out to show their outrage, and a police crackdown followed.

What is the National Guard?

It is made up of part-time soldiers who can be used at the state and federal levels. Under the authority of state governors, National Guard troops can be deployed to respond to emergencies, such as the COVID pandemic, hurricanes and other natural disasters. It can also be used to tackle social unrest when local police are overwhelmed.

During times of war or national emergencies, the federal government can order a deployment for military service – that is, when the National Guard is federalised and serves under the control of the president.

Can the president deploy the National Guard in a state?

The president can federalise, or take control of, the National Guard in very specific cases.

The main legal mechanism that a president can use to send military forces is the Insurrection Act to suppress insurrections, rebellions, and civil disorder within the country. If certain conditions are met, the president can send in the National Guard, bypassing the authority of the governor, though that is rare and politically sensitive.

Following the breakout of protests in Los Angeles, Trump did not invoke the Insurrection Act, but rather a specific provision of the US Code on Armed Services. It says National Guard troops can be placed under federal command when “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority” of the US.

But the law also says “orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors” of the states, making it not clear whether Trump had the legal authority to bypass Newsom.

Trump’s directive ordering the deployment of troops said “protests or acts of violence” directly inhibiting the execution of the laws would “constitute a form of rebellion” against the government.

According to Robert Patillo, a civil and human rights lawyer, Trump’s order will likely face legal challenges.

“Normally, federal troops are going to be used inside states at the invitation of the governor of that state,” he told Al Jazeera, citing the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, which were put down by federal troops invited by Pete Wilson, then-governor of California.

“But if the governor, such as Gavin Newsom, has not asked for federal troops to come in, and these troops are coming in against his will, then there will be challenges … and this will have to go to the Supreme Court in order to determine who has a legal right to deploy those troops,” Patillo said.

Is it the first time Trump has activated the National Guard?

In 2020, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to respond to the protests that followed the killing by a Minneapolis police officer of George Floyd. Then-Secretary of Defense Mark Esper pushed back, saying active-duty troops in a law enforcement role should be used “only in the most urgent and dire of situations”.

Finally, Trump did not invoke the Insurrection Act and asked governors of several states to deploy their National Guard troops to Washington, DC. Those who refused to send them were allowed to do so.

But this time around, Trump has already signalled his unwillingness to hold back on calling in troops. When on the campaign trail in 2023, Trump told supporters in Iowa that he would not be waiting for a governor to be asked to send in troops as during his first term.

Italy Coach Spalletti Says Moldova Match Will Be His Last

Italy coach Luciano Spalletti has said that Monday’s World Cup qualifier against Moldova would be his last.

Spalletti had come in for criticism after the Italian side lost 3-0 to Norway in their opening World Cup qualifying match last week.

“We spoke with the president of the Italian federation on Saturday and I was told that I would be relieved of my duties as coach of the national team”, Spalletti told a press conference on Sunday.

“I’m not happy about it. Given the relationship we have, I had absolutely no intention of leaving. Especially when things aren’t going well, I would have preferred to stay and do my job.

” But this is a dismissal and I have to accept it. I’ve always seen this role as a service to the country and I want to facilitate the future of the national team. I think it’s right to strive for the best. “

Spalletti, 66, took over from Roberto Mancini as Italy coach in August 2023.

In his time as head of the Nazionale, the team won 11 times, drew six and lost six.

Spalletti’s dismissal came only hours after he had been stoutly defended by the same man who then fired him, Federation president Gabriele Gravina.

Gravina, who is not without his own critics, &nbsp, said earlier on Sunday Spalletti” was an extraordinary person “adding he” believed in the team and (Spalletti’s) project “which he declared was” amazing. “

” He is a noble soul. The attacks on him are not merited, “said Gravina.

Gravina had conceded the manner of the defeat to Norway was” unacceptable “though he intimated Spalletti would be responsible for leading the recovery.

” We have to face difficult times with our heads held high and we have to get back up immediately. “

Two names have popped up on a regular basis as to who would replace him, AS Roma’s experienced Claudio Ranieri, 73, most famous for guiding Leicester City to the unlikeliest of Premier League titles in 2016, is one of them.

The other is Stefano Pioli presently the coach of Saudi outfit Al-Nassr but prior to that the 59-year-old won the 2022 Serie A crown with AC Milan.
