Democrats, who claim it will be the most expensive bill in history while providing benefits to the wealthy, are opposed by republicans in the US who are trying to get President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax and spending bill approved by the Senate.
Despite the ebbs and flows of their 4-2 Club World Cup victory over Flamengo on Sunday, Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany praised his team’s unwavering attacking threat.
The Germans once again had a two-goal lead at 3-1, but the Brazilian club managed to keep the game alive on both occasions.
Former Manchester City captain Kompany was particularly impressed with how his team kept staying in the game despite his team’s resilience.
We always stay dangerous, he said to reporters, “I think that’s the key part of the game for me, which always remains a key part of the game.”
“Whether we were defending or whether we had the ball was irrelevant. If we could control the ball, we would always be dangerous. But he continued, “we were always on the counter in the situations where we appeared to be a team that could score at any time.”
“I believed we maintained our composure until we scored the goals just to relieve some pressure,” he said. The fans are a significant component of the game when these teams play. Similar to Boca, the two games are. For us, they play away games. And we must adapt and find a winning strategy, he said.
Kompany argued that a game’s ability to regain control of its momentum when an opponent is growing stronger is difficult to teach.
It’s actually the hardest thing to coach, to put it mildly. I’ve also played professionally. You take responsibility at this time. No matter how talented your coach is, you must do it.
The key is to remain calm, they say. The players did it, as did the experience, but it’s also something we discuss.
“We can’t lose the game in five minutes because we had a bad period” or because we thought it was a ridiculous penalty,” we said.
Filipe Luis, the coach of the Flamengos, acknowledged that Bayern had no plans for his team.
“They put a lot of pressure on you,” they said. Eight or ten players are rushing at you. He claimed that they deserved to win.
Our plan did succeed because we applied pressure and created chances for goals, but they were better than us because we are playing against the elite, he said.
Luis again inquired about the quality disparity between the top European clubs and South American clubs, noting that the players’ transfer costs were a significant factor.
The best player in the world would have been Vinicius Jr. if he had not left for Real Madrid. They (South American players) are affluent in the elite, which is where they are. They are high-quality teams, he said, and if we had won today and the tournament, it would not change that fact.
For the second Test against India at Edgbaston, England have chosen an unchanged lineup, which will add another delay for Jofra Archer’s return.
After missing four years of service, Pace bowler Archer returned to the squad, but he had a family emergency that prevented him from attending Monday’s training session.
Before the second Test, which will begin on Wednesday, England announce that the 30-year-old will rejoin the squad in Birmingham on Tuesday.
Jasprit Bumrah, an option for the tourists, is available, according to India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate, but they may choose not to use him in the circumstances.
He was a member of the team that Headingley defeated in its first Test last week, and India has committed to playing him in just three of the five tests.
Archer, who became famous in 2019 and started playing in international competitions in 2019, hasn’t played a Test since 2021 due to a number of back and elbow injuries.
He played for Sussex in the County Championship last week, taking one wicket in 18 overs, and has since been carefully nursed back to fitness on a diet of white ball cricket.
After such mediocre first-class bowling, both former England captain Michael Vaughan and Sussex coach Paul Farbrace both warned against rushing Archer back to the Test field.
Archer will remain with the national team in the final two days of Sussex’ Championship game against Warwickshire, which was scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, and Chris Woakes, who are playing on his ground, will once again be England’s unchanged XI.
One of the England squad members from the time Archer made his international debut, Woakes, described him as “putting in some seriously hard yards to get himself back in shape and a physical state to be at his best.”

I have hundreds of pounds worth of perfumes on my dressing table, including those from Jo Malone London, Maison Margiela Replica, Glossier, and other expensive brands, but recently I’ve been skipping all of them and choosing one particular brand of body mist instead, which are both for less money.
I’ve turned my head away from PHLUR’s Hair &, Body Fragrance Mists’ pricey, Instagrammable bottles of mostly gourmand or skin scents, which have become one of my all-time favorites for wearing scent. The price range for 88.7ml bottles starts at £25. The new Beach Skin is my current favorite, followed closely behind by Vanilla Nectar, and if you’re looking for a summery, irresistible new scent, I think these are worth trying out.
Meghan Markle’s signature dewy face cream is available in a lighter version, making it ideal for summer.

First and foremost, they smell fantastic. Beach Skin is a little bit sweet, a little bit salty, and a little bit musky, reminiscent of warm seabed skin, sun cream, and sand between your toes, according to one of my favorite perfume types. It’s very similar to Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk but costs a lot less. If you’re familiar with it, you can get it for a 30-ml bottle for only £52.70. My boyfriend frequently compliments PLURU’s Beach Skin, which is unusual.
Online retailers currently only sell smaller bottles of Beach Skin, but I have a supersized 236.5ml bottle for £38.
While PHLUR’s Vanilla Nectar has notes of papaya, apricot, peach blossom, and honeyed amber, it has much more fruit than the brand’s vanilla nectar, which still has the “skin-like” base notes that it does so well.
You don’t have to be particularly sentimental about using these PHLUR body mists, which is another plus. I don’t feel like I need to “save them for the best” because the bottles are plastic and can be easily tossed into a handbag or beach bag. When I need a quick dose of perfume, I spritz Beach Skin on my desk several times throughout the day.
However, using body mists instead of “traditional” perfumes means that the scent is much lighter and won’t last as long on the skin, hair, or clothes. You might find that you finish your big bottle more quickly than you anticipated because of the cost, scent, and mini-moment of joy it brings me, so I’m sure you’ll need more regular top-ups. This is definitely in my opinion if you like a light, beachy summer scent.
You could try Jo Malone London’s new Beach Blossom Cologne, which costs $86, or Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche Skinscent, which is currently down 25% and costs less than that.
This Limited Edition Cheirosa Hair &, Body Perfume Mist Discovery Set contains four of Sol de Janeiro’s body mists, which are also very popular. You can try four of them for £26.60.
Podcast host Christine McGuinness has shared her thoughts on dating apps after revealing that she’s never used one. She’s revealed that she’s concerned over one aspect, which she said she would be “petrified” of.
Christine, 37, has spoken about dating in the years since it was announced that she had split from Paddy McGuinness in 2022. She even briefly took part in the new series of Celebs Go Dating, which is yet to air on E4, and is expected to return in the finale.
She’s now giving fans an insight into her personal life on the new BBC podcast Situationships with Sophie and Christine, which launched earlier this month. Christine co-hosts the newly launched podcast with author Sophie Gravia.
A discussion about dating apps in the first episode saw Christine open up about her concerns. It came after the mention of ‘catfishing’ and Sophie recalling a date with someone who was “not all all” how she had expected them to look based on the photos that had been on his profile.
Christine posed the question, “Do you not think that someone is who they say they are or do you not check that they are?” after revealing that she had never been on a dating app. Sophie, who is currently dating, responded by saying she would never use dating apps and that she had never been.
Then, according to Christine, “I would be terrified of who could show up and who I’m talking to, and yeah, it scares me.” After that, Sophie continued to say, “I think they will become out of fashion.” Everyone is getting tired, in my opinion.
Christine continued, “I think it should come with something like… almost like a TripAdvisor… like a review thing.” Perhaps you’d like to read reviews from other people’s ex-partners or something.
After talking about the subject together, Christine said, “Imagine what other people’s exes would think of them.” She made fun of the fact that “mine, obviously, would all be five star reviews.”
Sophie did, however, acknowledge that some potential partners had different views of her boyfriend. She claimed that the way I’ve behaved in the past toward some people because I don’t necessarily like them was inexact.
It’s a part of the problem, Christine asserted on the podcast. How do you get out of dating and what have you really struggled with, in my opinion? because I wouldn’t want to cause a stir among anyone.
Christine had previously discussed dating in the episode after it was revealed three years ago that she had split from Paddy. It took her a while to even consider dating, she told her co-host Sophie.
Christine described how she first dates someone she had briefly met before “friendships had blurred the lines” and then fell into some “situationships” where “friendships had blurred the lines.” She claimed that they exchanged months of social media content before going on a date. My first true date ever, ever with a person I didn’t know, she said. But I felt at ease after messaging for those months.
