Liverpool manager Arne Slot has refused to rule out an improved bid for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as the Premier League champions consider adding to their formidable firepower as Darwin Nunez is set to leave for Saudi Arabia.
After a quiet first year in the transfer market under Slot, the Reds have spent almost 300 million pounds ($402m) on forwards Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike as well as full-backs Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong.
Nunez is one of a number of significant exits that will help recoup much of that outlay as the Uruguayan closes in on a 46-million-pound ($61.8m) move to Al Hilal.
Liverpool reportedly had a 110-million-pound ($147.8m) bid for Isak turned down by Newcastle, who are seeking a record British transfer fee.
The Swedish striker has not been part of the Magpies ‘ preseason preparations and has been told to train on his own by Newcastle.
“You never talk about players that are not yours”, Slot said on Friday at his pre-match news conference before Sunday’s Community Shield against Crystal Palace at Wembley, the traditional curtain-raiser for the season.
“I think we have a lot of attacking power in our team. When I think about Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, Hugo Ekitike, Mo Salah, Jeremie Frimpong, who can play as a right-winger, Florian Wirtz, who can play as a left-winger, I already feel I have a lot of attacking options in my current squad.
” But as always as a club, we are always looking at the chances in the market. “
Last season, Liverpool celebrated a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title but were devastated last month by the death of forward Diogo Jota.
The Portuguese international was killed in a car accident with his brother in northern Spain as he began to make his way back to England for the preseason.
A series of tributes has been paid to Jota at every Liverpool game since and will continue throughout the season.
A” Forever 20 “emblem, referencing Jota’s now-retired shirt number, will be printed on Liverpool’s shirts this season while a permanent memorial will be installed at Anfield.
” First of all, tragedy impacted us, but it impacted far more his wife, children and parents, “Slot said.
” But it impacted us as well, definitely. The tributes that have been done since were all very emotional and impressive every time we were somewhere.
It didn’t take long for internet sleuths to notice that something was missing on the Library of Congress website that annotates the United States Constitution.
Reddit users pointed out on Wednesday that the website omitted text from some sections of Article 1, which include provisions about the right of habeas corpus as well as limits on congressional and state power. Using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, people found that the full text appeared on the Library of Congress website on July 17 but was missing in snapshots after that date.
Some people mistakenly said President Donald Trump’s administration removed these provisions from the constitution entirely without Congress’s input.
“BREAKING: The official US government website has quietly removed Sections 9 and 10 of Article I from the Constitution,” one Threads post said on Wednesday. “Let me say that again: They didn’t amend the Constitution. They didn’t debate it in Congress. They just erased two of the most protective sections; the ones that deal with habeas corpus, limits on federal power, and Congress’s sole authority to set tariffs.”
Altering the text on a website would not remove or erase sections of the constitution. It can be changed only through a formal amendment process, which begins in the US Congress, which can modify or replace existing provisions. The constitution’s full text is also available on the websites for the National Archives and the nonprofit National Constitution Center.
The amendment process outlined in Article 5 is the only way to alter the constitution. Any proposed amendment must first be approved by a two-thirds vote in both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate. Then it must be ratified by three-quarters of the state legislatures or via state ratifying conventions.
Government website omits constitution sections
On Wednesday about 11am in Washington, DC (15:00 GMT), the Library of Congress posted on X that the missing sections were “due to a coding error”.
“We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon,” the post read. The website on Wednesday also displayed a banner that said: “The Constitution Annotated website is currently experiencing data issues. We are working to resolve this issue and regret the inconvenience.”
The institution issued an update on X a few hours later that the website was fixed.
“Missing sections of the Constitution Annotated website have been restored,” it said. “Upkeep of Constitution Annotated and other digital resources is a critical part of the Library’s mission, and we appreciate the feedback that alerted us to the error and allowed us to fix it.”
Article 1 establishes the federal government’s legislative branch. Its missing sections included portions of Section 8 and all of Sections 9 and 10, which largely focus on limits on congressional and state power.
Before being restored, the text of Article 1 ended in Section 8, just before a line that lists Congress’s ability to provide and maintain a navy.
This screenshot shows a comparison of the page archived by the Wayback Machine as it appeared on July 17, 2025, left, with how it appeared on August 6, 2025, right. The highlighted text shows a portion of what was removed.
Section 9, which was temporarily deleted, details limits on congressional power. It addresses habeas corpus, the legal procedure that grants people in government custody the right to challenge their detention in court. The section says Congress may not suspend habeas corpus “unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it”.
Habeas corpus has been in the headlines during the second Trump administration. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told reporters in May that the administration was looking into suspending habeas corpus. Later that month, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrongly said habeas corpus is a right the president has to remove people from the US.
Section 10, which was also temporarily removed, covers restrictions on US states, including regulating tariffs without Congress’s consent.
Our ruling
A Threads post said an official US government website “quietly removed Sections 9 and 10 of Article I from the Constitution” without input from Congress.
On Wednesday, the Library of Congress’s annotated website of the US Constitution was missing sections of Article 1.
The library said the issue was related to a coding error, and it was corrected shortly afterwards.
Website alterations do not affect US law or the constitution. The document can be changed only through a formal amendment process initiated by Congress.

How to get a £42 Medik8 serum for £5(Image: Laura Mulley)
Beauty boxes are a fantastic way to sample new products, replenish your existing favourites or treat someone to a bumper beauty bundle. They often come with massive savings too – and here’s a brand new one that offers you incredible products and value for money.
OK! Beauty Box has joined forces with make-up artist and social media sensation Genevieve Turley – whose hilarious and down-to-earth videos you’ve likely seen on your Instagram or TikTok feed – to create her very own limited-edition beauty edit, featuring 11 of her favourite skincare and make-up products from top brands such as Medik8, Rodial and Gatineau.
Impressively, 10 of the 11 products inside are full size – including a cult classic Medik8 serum – and the total value comes to over £210, yet the box usually costs £59.99 to purchase. However, there’s a way for Mirror readers to save even more.

Purchase it now through this link, or by using the code MIRRORGEN at the checkout, and you’ll get it for £54.99 instead of £59.99, while stocks last. This means a whopping £155 saving, and means that each of the 11 products inside can be thought of as having a value of £4.99 each.
In our exclusive chat with Gen, she said, “I’ve had so many beauty boxes over the years and always thought, ‘What would I put in mine?’ So when this happened I was delighted – and prepared! I wanted great products that will make a big impact for women.
“This box is a great opportunity to try products you may not have heard of or been afraid to splurge on, but with the massive saving, it takes away that worry.”
The two most expensive items inside(Image: Laura Mulley)
For me, the standout item inside is Medik8 C-Tetra. An absolute cult favourite skincare product and a go-to amongst countless beauty experts (myself included), this is a brilliant, foolproof vitamin C serum that moisturises and brightens the complexion, and has almost 1,500 five-star reviews on the Medik8 website alone. Gen reveals that “it really helped reduce my pigmentation from my second pregnancy”.
A full-size 30ml bottle (which is what you receive in the box) costs £42 alone, so for an additional £13 you’re getting 10 other beauty products alongside it.
Other standouts inside include a £39 dewy Rodial blush, a luxe brown eyeliner pencil and “one of [Gen’s] favourite products of this year”, Gatineau Collagene Expert Hydra Essence. But honestly, there’s not a disappointing product in here – everything’s incredibly wearable and simple to use, even if you’re not a make-up expert.

However, if you’re not a big fan of make-up, this box might not be for you as over half of the products are make-up items. You might be more interested in a skincare-focused box like Lookfantastic’s The Skin Renewal Edit, which is valued at £210 but costs £45, or the Boots X Supergoop! Beauty Bag Edit, priced at £44 but worth over £90 (we’ve reviewed this one here).

United States President Donald Trump has confirmed that he will host the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia for a “historic peace summit”.
Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, and Nikol Pashinyan, the prime minister of Armenia, will meet with Trump at the White House on Friday for an official “peace signing ceremony,” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“These two Nations have been at War for many years, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people. Many Leaders have tried to end the War, with no success, until now, thanks to ‘TRUMP,’” he wrote.
News of the talks in Washington was reported earlier this week when Pashinyan’s government announced the meeting in a statement on Telegram.
The two countries, former Soviet republics, have faced off over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh since the late 1980s, when Nagorno-Karabakh broke away from Azerbaijan with support from Armenia.
The region, which was claimed by both Azerbaijan and Armenia after the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917, had a mostly ethnic Armenian population at the time.
The two sides fought a bloody war that lasted into the early 1990s, and the region has remained a major flashpoint ever since.
The conflict resumed in 2020 when Azerbaijan tried to retake Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenia.
Azerbaijan recaptured Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2023, prompting almost all of the territory’s 100,000 Armenians to flee to Armenia.
The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan met in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, for peace talks last month, but no breakthrough in the decades-old conflict was announced.
The Trump administration intensified its efforts to seek a resolution in March when the president dispatched his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, to the region.
The prospective agreement could potentially put an end to decades of conflict and set the stage for a reopening of key transportation corridors across the South Caucasus that have been shut since the early 1990s.
US officials told The Associated Press news agency that the agreements included a major breakthrough establishing a key transit corridor across the region, which had been an obstacle in peace talks.
The agreement, according to the officials, would give the US leasing rights to develop the corridor and name it the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.
It would link Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan region, which is separated from the rest of the country by a 32-kilometre (20-mile) patch of Armenia’s territory.
Organised labour in Tabara State has set Monday, August 11th, for a statewide strike.
Under the aegis of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), the unions said their decision followed a resolution reached at a meeting of the Joint State Administrative Council on August 6.
This was contained in a press statement jointly signed by NLC Chairman Peter Jediel and TUC Chairman, Sule Abasu.
According to the statement, the strike is in response to alleged irregularities by the state’s Biometric Data Capture Committee, which labour leaders claim have adversely affected workers.
They accused the committee of engaging in illegal practices and faulted the state government for failing to respond to an earlier ultimatum.
The statement reads, “Following the mandate of the joint state administrative council meeting of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress that the leadership should take all necessary action to effectuate the ultimatum in collaboration with other stakeholders to check the illegality perpetrated by the biometric data capture committee. ”
“The organised Labour met on 6th August 2025 and resolved as follows:
1] Strike is hereby declared to commence from the early hours of Monday, 11th August 2025.
2] Mobilisation commences summed.
3] All workers, civil society organizations, and the masses are hereby put on notice to stock their houses for all necessary provisions.
The Prince of Wales has written to Truro City captain Connor Riley-Lowe to wish the club well ahead of their first season in the National League.
Prince William, who is also Duke of Cornwall, has sent his message as the club becomes a fully professional side for the first time.
The club were promoted last April in their first season back in Cornwall, having played out of the county for almost four years as they awaited a new ground to be built in Truro.

The Prince of Wales is a keen football fan – he is an avid Aston Villa supporter and is president of the Football Association.
He was among the party that presented England with the Euro 2025 trophy last month having watched the final against Spain in Switzerland with Princess Charlotte.
“Prince William has asked me to pass on his warmest congratulations in getting promoted to the National League as Cornwall’s first professional team.
“This comes with the Duke of Cornwall’s very best wishes. Good luck to The Tinners.”
Truro City begin their season with a trip to Wealdstone on Saturday before their first home league game of the a season a week later against York City.
