Newcastle hanging on after Yates scores Forest’s third – latest

Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest from the Premier League as Eddie Howe’s men look to close the gap in the race for Champions League football.

Newcastle are currently sat in eighth but would climb up to fifth and go within three points of Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, who are in third, with victory this afternoon. The hosts would also go level on points with Manchester City in fourth ahead of the champions’ clash with leaders Liverpool later on this afternoon.

Meanwhile, a win for Forest would see them go seven points clear of Bournemouth and Chelsea in fifth and sixth, respectively, and would take them just three points shy of Arsenal after their title hopes were dealt a blow with defeat against West Ham United on Saturday.

For Google Maps Users in U.S., It’s Now the Gulf of America

People in Mexico will still see the name Gulf of Mexico, with international users seeing both names, Google said. The change follows an executive order from President Trump.

Google has renamed the Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America in its Maps application for users in the United States.

The company started implementing the change after the U.S. government updated the name on its official maps, Google said in a statement on Monday. President Trump ordered U.S. authorities to make the change to official maps in an executive order he signed on his first day in office.

Gulf of America name change in the U.S. — what you’ll see in Maps

In the U.S., the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) has officially updated “Gulf of Mexico” to “Gulf of America.” As we announced two weeks ago and consistent with our longstanding practices, we’ve begun rolling out changes to reflect this update. People using Maps in the U.S. will see “Gulf of America,” and people in Mexico will see “Gulf of Mexico.” Everyone else will see both names.

"Gulf of America" now appears on Google maps for U.S. users

Google Maps users in the U.S. can now officially see the "Gulf of America" label over the Gulf of Mexico.

Why it matters: The name change, ordered by President Trump upon taking office, has sown confusion among journalists, map makers and government agencies.

The big picture: However, Google indicated last month that it would reflect the name change once it had been updated in official government sources.

Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Reacts to Her Appearance in Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show

Alexis Ohanian served up the perfect compliment following his wife’s Super Bowl Halftime Show presence.

After Serena Williams briefly appeared onstage at the Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans with Kendrick Lamar, her husband gave his own personal rating on X (formally known as Twitter) Feb. 9, writing, “Pretty fantastic halftime show.”

And the moment was big for the Grand Slam champion, who was seen dancing during the fellow California native’s halftime show.

Serena—who shares daughters Alexis Olympia, 7, and Adira, 16 months with the tech mogul—took the stage during Kendrick’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” where she appeared in a blue tennis skirt set as she hit her dance moves.

Super Bowl 2025: How the Eagles dominated the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes

Complete and utter dominance. On the biggest stage, with the Chiefs dominating the headlines in their attempt to win a third consecutive title, the Eagles comprehensively manhandled them in New Orleans. The 40-22 final score in Super Bowl LIX seems unfair both to a Philadelphia defense that shut down Kansas City until a couple of garbage-time touchdowns in the fourth quarter and to a Kansas City defense that battled gamely before finally getting overwhelmed by short fields and the sheer volume of snaps it had to play.

Imagine being a Chiefs fan and getting to see pieces of the box score of this game in advance. The Chiefs did the best job any team has done all season against Saquon Barkley, who ran 25 times for 57 yards. The Eagles went 3-for-12 on third downs, failed to convert their only fourth down, turned the ball over in the red zone and averaged 5.1 yards per play, fewer than the Chiefs. All of that sounds like the sort of game the Chiefs would expect to win given what they're capable of doing on offense.
