President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev referred to the demonstrators as “bandits,” “terrorists” and “militants” in a televised address to the nation, sharp rhetoric that might foreshadow further violent escalation in the conflict. “I have given the order to law enforcement and the army to shoot to kill without warning,” Tokayev said. “Those who don’t surrender will be eliminated.” The street protests are the worst Kazakhstan has seen since it obtained independence from the Soviet Union more than three decades ago....

The Italian giants secured a loan move for Morata this summer for the second time in his career as the Spanish international moved from Atletico Madrid to pave the way for Luis Suarez. The Bianconeri have signed the Spaniard on a one-year loan deal worth €10 million, with the option of purchasing the striker on a permanent deal for 45 million this summer. Juventus are unlikely to purchase Alvaro Morata permanently....

A more pressing concern for the Bianconeri will be the non-availability of any recognised full-backs against SPAL. While Mattia Di Sciglio and Danilo are in the treatment room, Alex Sandro has been granted compassionate leave to return to Brazil in light of the tragic and sudden death of his father. Sarri’s side will be expected to brush aside opposition like SPAL, but given their lack of fluency in the early days of the season, it may not be an easy ride....

Maurizio Sarri’s team headed to the winter break locked level on 42 points with the Nerazzurri. Inter’s vastly superior goal difference sees them on top and for the first time in nearly ten years of Juventus dominance, there is a general feeling in Turin, this could be a title race that will go down to the wire. Juventus’ task to pick up three points on Monday won’t be easy as they face high-flying Cagliari....

With their recent release, IN THE CELESTIA, still vivid in our minds, the duo showed off their musical prowess once again....

The couple, who have been together for five years, took to Instagram on Thursday, February 3 to share identical videos that showed their hands intertwining with what appeared to be engagement rings on their fingers. In his post Dawn (Kim Hyo-jong) shared the caption “Marry Me,” while HyunA’s (Kim Hyun-ah) Instagram post appeared to give her response to the question with the caption “of course yes.” Newsweek have reached out to HyunA and Dawn’s representatives at P Nation for further comment....

A Dumisani Zuma goal was enough to take Amakhosi to 22 points after 15 league games, and Komphela is hoping that they can keep up the momentum going into the second half of the campaign. Chiefs resume the season with a clash against SuperSport United in January, and Komphela wants his charges to come back with the same energy they showed against the Urban Warriors. “We hope we’ll keep up the momentum, but we now have to go off for a minor recess and be back for the game against SuperSport....

The result left the Croatians on top of their group with 13 points from five games, three ahead of second-placed Iceland who moved one place up after a 2-1 win in Kosovo. Third-placed Ukraine and Turkey in fourth have eight points each. The home side missed several chances either side of Kalinic’s 38th-minute thunderbolt while a cagey Ukrainian outfit rarely troubled Croatia’s rearguard in the Maksimir stadium. Mario Mandzukic hit the post for Croatia and Kalinic twice came close before he broke the deadlock in the 38th minute, drilling an unstoppable shot into the top corner after good work by Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic....

The poll conducted from December 1 to 16 showed Harris’ approval rating stood at 44 percent and her disapproval was 54 percent, while 1 percent had no opinion. Gallup found that 43 percent of respondents approved of the president, while 51 percent disapproved of him and 6 percent had no opinion....

“There will be an asterisk against the results…because they will be preliminary obviously, pending further investigation,” said IOC spokesperson Mark Adams, who confirmed that the post-event medal ceremony has been canceled, despite the absence of final scores. Following her top-rated performance in Tuesday’s short program, Valieva, 15, leads three ROC figure skaters who currently occupy the top four places of the women’s singles competition. Adams cut a frustrated figure at times during Wednesday’s daily press conference in Beijing, having fielded more questions about the IOC’s handling of Valieva’s case, which he stressed was still pending....

Murata competed for a full round with a completely dislocated elbow, only stopping after the doctor waved the fight off. The injury was sustained in the first round when Jandiroba secured a fully extended armbar. Kanako Murata was able to grit her teeth and escape the submission but the elbow had already been dislocated. But despite the damage, Murata maintained top position for the remainder of the first round. However, the damage was already done as can be seen in Kanako Murata’s post below....

Wayne Rooney, still technically the team captain, missed out on the squad after a season-long struggle for form and fitness for Manchester United, handing Kane the opportunity to become the latest man to take on the armband. WATCH: Alli nutmegs Stones Jordan Henderson and Joe Hart have both previously captained their country under Gareth Southgate and the manager confirmed that he intends to keep mixing it up. For Kane it marks a fitting end to a wonderful season, having cemented himself as one of the world’s top strikers with a tally of 29 Premier League goals, enough for the league’s Golden Boot....

The Chiefs overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to cap a season that Kansas City has waited half a century for. It also marks the first Super Bowl win for Chiefs coach Andy Reid, and the first for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who won the MVP during the 2018 season—his first as a starter. The 49ers held the Chiefs offense to a three-and-out on Kansas City’s first possession of the game....

During a replay of Wednesday’s game against the Pads, the Padres local telecast showed a quick stat about the record of the expansion teams from 1969. The stat caught me off guard, and I thought it would be worth sharing! First let’s look at the teams that all came in together with the class of ’69. The Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots were both added to the American League....

Lee’s Summit School District has confirmed to Newsweek that it received one of the letters but added that it disagreed with Schmitt’s claims. “The District will be responding through its legal counsel, and is prepared to defend in court its duty under Missouri law to protect the health and safety of its students and staff,” a district spokesperson wrote. Local outlets are reporting that Schmitt sent letters to over 30 districts across the state this week ordering them to stop enforcing mask mandates and quarantine orders, which violate a decision made last month by a Cole County judge....

The National Weather Service’s Wichita office on Thursday forecast temperatures between 95 and 100 degrees through Sunday, with the service warning pockets of the state of hazardous weather. The forecast comes on the heels of reports of mass cattle deaths as temperatures suddenly climbed in the beef-producing state. Matthew Lara, spokesman for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, told Newsweek that there were about 2,000 cattle deaths in feed lots in the southwest part of the state....

The Kansas Jayhawks (12-7, 6-5 Big 12) come into this game on the back of a frustrating loss to No. 17 West Virginia, Saturday. Kansas Jayhawks are now No. 6 in the Big 12 standings, and they will need this win against the Oklahoma State Cowboys (12-5, 5-5 Big 12) to get back on track. With Kansas’ season spinning out of control, in contrast to previous seasons, they will need to get their offense going against a stout Oklahoma State Cowboys defense....

No other team in NCAA men’s basketball history has won 14 consecutive regular season conference championships. Kansas’s win today broke a tie with the UCLA Bruins for the all-time record in that category. The Jayhawks have clinched a share of every Big 12 regular season conference championship since the 2004-2005 season, while the Bruins won every Pacific-12 regular season conference championship outright from the 1966-1967 season to the 1978-1979 season....
