Saudi Arabia had more of the possession and more of the chances. Unlike in the win over Argentina when the first two attempts resulted in goals, there was just no way past Wojciech Szczesny. The Poland goalkeeper had a fine game and there were examples of shots flying wide and over from good positions. Saudi Arabia flew out of the blocks and went at Poland, who did not impress in their opening 0-0 draw with Mexico. Saudi Arabia have shown that they can live with their opponents.

No sign of ‘undeclared nuclear activities’ in Ukraine: IAEA

Biden was straddling two roles, speaking as both a president defending the pillars of democracy and a Democrat trying to boost his party’s prospects against Republicans. He called out the hundreds of candidates who have denied the 2020 election result and now refuse to commit to accepting the results of the upcoming midterms. Election workers nationwide have questioned whether to go back to work following increased intimidation and harassment ahead of Election Day. At least five people have been charged with federal crimes for harassing workers as early voting has gotten underway.

Daniil Medvedev reaches final of ATP tournament in Vienna

But with the Public Investment Fund now at the helm, and Eddie Howe at the wheel, those days are long gone. Their wings were once clipped, but now the Magpies are flying high — and doing so with real purpose. After just three minutes, Newcastle swarmed down the right as Almiron found skipper Kieran Trippier, making his 300th English league appearance.

Russia on Saturday suspended participation in grain deal after what it said was a major Ukrainian drone attack on its fleet in Crimea. The suspension will cut Ukrainian grain exports from its crucial Black Sea ports. The deal allows shipments of grain from Ukraine, one of the world’s largest exporters, that the Russian invasion had halted. But ahead of the Nov. 19 expiry of the deal, Russia had repeatedly said that there are serious problems with it.

World champion Max Verstappen secures first ever pole in Mexico

MEXICO CITY: World champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull will start the Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix from pole for the first time on Sunday night. In 2019, Verstappen was quickest in qualifying but had to drop three grid places for a yellow flag infringement, promoting Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to pole. “Very lovely that,” the Dutchman told his team after holding off the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. I was pretty much blind, I had no indication of my lap times. In his final appearance at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, the Aston Martin driver could manage only 17th in Q1.

UK, Arabs promote trade possibilities following Brexit and pandemic

Penney added: “One of the really big differences for me, or accomplishments, is when I was here in 2019 we said that we wanted to do a free trade agreement with the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council). “Standing here today in 2022, I’m delighted to say that we’ve now officially launched negotiations for a free trade agreement, we’ve spearheaded toward Brexit and we’ve passed a negotiation stage toward exiting the European Union. “Brexit and the pandemic basically have created new opportunities between the Arab world and the UK. It opened the gap for countries to be replaced as new trade partners with the UK.
