The San Francisco Superior Court on Friday released a series of updates and materials on last year’s hammer attack against Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The updates included graphic body-cam footage, audio from police interviews with the suspect, the 911 call Paul Pelosi made while in peril, and home surveillance video.

The body-cam video shows officers’ rushed entrance into the house, while both Paul and the alleged assailant, David DePape, have a hand on the hammer. When told to drop the hammer by one of the officers, DePape says, “Nope” before catching the hammer from Pelosi and lunging toward him. The officers managed to subdue DePape and handcuff him.

Surveillance video footage captured by security camera outside the Pelosi residence shows DePape with several bags, including a large backpack. After removing the hammer from the bag, he used it to break a glass door of the back porch in an effort to enter the home.

Paul Pelosi’s 911 call reveals how he had to sound matter of fact while subtly requesting aid, then becoming more frantic when the dispatcher initially seemed unaware of the situation.

The attack on October 28th of last year was an unfortunate tragedy. Reports of the release of such graphic evidence serve to remind us that even those in positions of political power are still susceptible to such acts of violence.

Former Liverpool defender Kolo Toure's first venture into football management ended in failure after being sacked from his job as Wigan manager after just 59 days. The 41-year-old had only recently made the move to management, having jobs as first-team coach for Ivory Coast, Celtic, and Leicester.

Upon being offered the manager's role for Wigan in November of last year, Toure signed a three-and-a-half-year deal. Unfortunately, the results were not what was expected. After losing five games and drawing two in his first seven matches, Wigan fired Toure after two months, leaving his record at six defeats and three draws in nine games. Wigan were left at the bottom of the Championship table.

Toure did bring in former Liverpool teammate Steven Caulker during his reign as manager, but Caulker now faces an uncertain future with the club searching for a successor in the dugout. Steven finished both of Toure's final league games with Wigan.

In his departing statement, Toure said after the Luton defeat: "We conceded another cheap goal early on and, when that is the case, it is very difficult for you. We have to be more ruthless in both boxes".

Malachy Brannigan, Wigan's Chief Executive commented saying; “Firstly, I'd like to thank Kolo, along with Kevin and Ash, for their efforts during their time at the football club. Unfortunately, the results on the field have not been as we would have liked and as tough a decision as this was, the board felt it necessary to give us the best possible chance of remaining a Championship club next season”.

Kolo Toure failed to find success in his first managerial job, but the veteran defender is undoubtedly looking back on the experience with a newfound drive to succeed.

As the six-week shutdown due to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar nears an end, Arsenal have become favorites in the title race with an impressive 50 points at the halfway stage. This is already more than the 'Invincibles' had at that stage in the 2003-04 season, and the team currently leads second-place Manchester City by 5 points.

Patrice Evra, Manchester United legend, has rejected Gary Neville and Roy Keane's predictions that Manchester City will pip Arsenal to the title this season, saying the Gunners have proven themselves against their toughest rivals. To back up his statement, Arsenal have only lost one of the 19 Premier League fixtures they have played this season.

The upcoming FA Cup fourth-round tie against City at the Etihad will give us a glimpse of what the future may hold for the title race, but any outcome will not make or break Arsenal's chances of becoming champions. As it stands, City have not been able to match Arsenal's relentless winning streak this season, and with their strength towards the end of matches waning, Arsenal are in the prime position to win their first Premier League title in 19 years.

Manchester City and Arsenal will both be looking to end the weekend with smiles on their faces as the top two sides in the Premier League face off in the FA Cup fourth round.

Friday night's match is a two-part instalment between the two teams with a crucial league game between them just 19 days later. For City, the FA Cup could possibly be their best chance at a trophy this season as they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Southampton and were controversially defeated by Manchester United in last month's derby.

Meanwhile, the Gunners are top of the Premier League table with a five-point lead - that could be extended to eight with a win in their game in hand - and their focus when the whistle blows could be on ensuring the momentum carries over to the league match.

Both teams come into the clash having won their last two matches in all competitions, with City downing Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves and Arsenal beating Crystal Palace and Leeds United.

The match will be closely contested with neither team wanting to give an advantage to the opposition. Arsenal have not had a win at the Etihad since January 2015 - losing 13 of the previous 16 meetings - and this is the perfect opportunity for the Gunners to prove their title-winning ability.

Friday night, it's City vs. Arsenal - who will come out on top? Tune in to find out.

Arsenal are close to completing a transfer for Vitoria Guimaraes midfielder Ibrahima Bamba as advanced talks have taken place. The Gunners have stepped up their efforts to acquire Bamba's signature with Mohamed Elneny's serious knee injury unfortunately derailing some team plans for the remainder of the season. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen on bolstering his midfield options, especially after Elneny's injury news, and is deepening his search for lesser-known transfer targets in order to improve team depth. While the transfer window only lasts until the end of the month, Arsenal will be trying their best to sort the deal before then.

Portuguese outlet Jornal de Noticias claims a deal is almost finalized as the player's agent made a trip to London earlier this week. Guimaraes willingness to sell on the cheap has kept other clubs at bay, but with Arsenal's deep pockets and ambitious mindset, the Gunners may be able to finalize the transfer.

In response to transfer rumors, Bamba's agent Filipe Macedo Alves claimed he was in London for Edmond Tapsoba's game in Germany, not specifically for his client. He noted that the player is currently focused on thecoming game against Chaves, but the market is open for any potential movement.

If the deal does pull through, it would give Arsenal's side, which is preparing for a title race, a much needed boost in midfield. Whether the move occur this month or in the summer, time will tell.

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has announced his break up with his partner, Instagram influencer Raiane. The couple started dating in July 2021 and eight months later, welcomed their daughter, Helena. Despite the joy of the new-born baby, Raiane took to social media to announce their separation.

Raiane explained that external pressures from family and the public were too much to bear. She advised those who want to criticize her decision to go ahead, and those celebrating to do so. In her post, Raiane also clarified that there was no betrayal or other personal issues involved in the split.

After the couple's break up, Jesus has faced many questions and criticism on social media. Fans of both Arsenal and Manchester City, his previous club have expressed their shock at the news, and their concerns for the welfare of baby Helena.

Though some have celebrated the split, many fans have expressed support for the couple and their daughter, emphasizing that whatever the circumstances, it is a difficult decision to make.

Raiane has since deleted her social media posts regarding the split with her fans calling for them to respect her privacy as she goes through this emotionally tough time.

Martin Odegaard is showing maturity beyond his years as the Arsenal captain. The 24 year-old was surprisingly given the armband by Mikel Arteta and has had plenty of support this season. Alongside him are Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Jesus, forming a leadership trio that is helping Arsenal soar to the top of the Premier League table. This is undoubtedly similar to Manchester City's strategy who, similarly to Arsenal, rely on a leadership group to support the captain.

Thus far this has been an inspired move from Arteta, where the duo of Xhaka and Jesus have stepped in to replace former captains Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette. Not only is Xhaka the most vocal player in Arsenal's dressing room, but Jesus has had an impact off the pitch by bringing energy, organizing team socials, and instilling successful habits.

The restructuring of the Arsenal squad was made evident in their 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur this month. Odegaard had the final word in the dressing room shortly before kick-off, and the Gunners won without Jesus who is currently sidelined with a knee injury. It is clear that the leadership trio is having a profound impact on the team. If they continue to support the captain, Arsenal have a good chance of becoming champions this season.

The FA Cup is moving full steam ahead with its fourth round set to kick off on Friday night, as Manchester City and Arsenal face off in a top-two Premier League Premier showdown. Liverpool has also been handed a chance of revenge against Brighton and there are some tricky tests for top-flight clubs.

Ipswich, Walsall, Luton, Blackburn, Bristol City and Fulham could all see their FA Cup dreams end prematurely when their fourth round ties come to a close. Meanwhile, Master Peace, the latest challenger in the TEAMtalk Predictions, is predicting few surprises.

After all of the fourth round action has been completed, the fifth round draw will take place on Monday, January 30 at 7pm. The likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Man Utd, Tottenham and Liverpool will all learn their FA Cup fates, with at least one Big Six team expected to be knocked out before the draw.

The draw will be broadcast on BBC One during The One Show and Premier League teams will be eager to see their luck in the draw - and the competition - to see if they have a chance of FA Cup glory.

Hosts Algeria will take on Ivory Coast in a thrilling African Nations Championship quarterfinals showdown this Friday. Algeria are undefeated in the African Nations Championship, dominating the group stage with wins over Mozambique, Libya, and Ethiopia, allowing not a single goal to be scored against them. However, Ivory Coast provide an intriguing challenge, having picked up wins and draws against formidable opponents in Senegal, Uganda, and D.R. Congo.

The Fennec Foxes are aiming for their best-ever CHAN finish, where they reached the last four in the 2011 tournament. Bougherra's men have maintained a strong presence in front of their home crowd, quickly opening the scoring against Mozambique with a seventh-minute goal from Hocine Dehiri. Although they had chances to put the game to bed, the Fennec Foxes will have to be even more wary when they face off against the Elephants.

Ivory Coast had a convincing win over Uganda on Sunday, with Karamoko Sankara and Patrick Ouotro getting the team off to a great start. Moses Waiswa pulled one back, but Aubin Kramo made sure the Elephants collected all three points with the 78th-minute winner. Ivory Coast will now be looking to make it back-to-back wins for the first time since November.

With both sides putting in impressive performances in the group stages and a semi-final spot up for grabs, the stakes are high when Algeria and Ivory Coast face off this Friday. Tune in and witness the fireworks of this African Nations Championship quarterfinals clash.

The governing bodies of Conmebol and Concacaf have joined forces to bring an unprecedented international tournament to the United States: the 2024 Copa America. The upcoming tournament, to be held two years before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, will serve as an opportunity for South American teams to acclimate to the expanded 48-team World Cup, which is set to be mainly hosted on US soil.

In an accompanying move, the inaugural Concacaf W Gold Cup will include four Conmebol representatives along with eight Concacaf squads.

The tournament comes as part of a strategic collaboration agreement between Conmebol and Concacaf that seeks to strengthen and develop the football in both regions. Ten South American teams and six North, Central American and Caribbean teams will qualify for the tournament through the 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League.

This unprecedented alliance allows both federations to benefit financially and provide ample opportunity for their representatives to compete against the elite of South America. Fans in South America may not be happy the tournament will be heading north, but participating teams have the opportunity to test themselves in a large-scale event in a World Cup host country.

Assuming he does not retire, Lionel Messi will have the chance to play in a major tournament for the first time since the last month's World Cup triumph in Qatar. Host cities for this summer's event have not been determined but will likely include major NFL stadiums. It could also be an opportunity for an MLS club to earn the title of the Americas' top team.

Ryan Long has been dreaming of opening his brewery in Gobles for seven years, but soon after construction commenced the business was faced with unthinkable damage. Last week, a group of three 13-year-olds was caught on camera entering the property for three days straight and doing $100,000 of vandalism.

Long arrived to discover every window broken, shards of glass throughout the building and outside, kitchen equipment destroyed, and hydraulic lines filled with sand. The vandals had even used rocks, golf clubs and fence posts to smash their way through. To make matters worse, two previous break-ins left the building uninsurable so Long is left with a $200,000 repair bill that he must cover with his own funding.

Despite initial hopes of opening this summer, Long is now left to doubt the fate of his seven-year dream. A GoFundMe has been set up by a friend to help cover some of the costs, as well as more fundraisers by local businesses. The three juvenile suspects have confessed to the vandalism, but so far no arrests or charges have been issued.

Long described the crime as “unfathomable” and “senseless," adding that "It's hard to believe anybody would do something like that and think it's OK.”

Actor John Ventimiglia's family is mourning the loss of his daughter, Odele Cape Ventimiglia. Odele, only 25 years old, passed away on Jan. 12. Her mother Belinda Cape broke the news of her heartbreaking passing in a Jan. 21 Facebook post.

"Heartbroken to have to post our darling Odele's funeral notice. Her sister Lucinda and I have been overwhelmed by the messages of support and love we have received, and your remembrances of how cherished Odele was to so many," wrote Belinda.

Odele is also survived by her father John Ventimiglia, her sister Lucinda Ventimiglia, and her 2-month-old daughter Shiloh. A funeral service was held in Brooklyn, New York on Jan. 26. The family has asked donations to be made to a GoFundMe account in lieu of flowers to help cover Shiloh's future education costs. Lucinda paid tribute to her late sister with a touching statement, “I loved my little sister a lot and I will spend the rest of my life searching for her in everything.”

Though the cause of death was not revealed, the family and community mourn the loss of Odele who was greatly loved and left a big hole in many people's lives.

Familiar foes Bologna and US Cremonese will meet at the Renato Dall'Ara on Monday in what is the first Serie A fixture between the teams since 1990. Bologna have dominated the fixture in recent seasons, with the last Cremonese win coming in 1996 in the Coppa Italia. Although Bologna have been suffering from a spate of injuries, they remain favourites to win the match.

Both teams have had defensive struggles this season, with Cremonese conceding 32 goals and Bologna 29. Bologna come into the match having lost two of their last five fixtures in Serie A, but unbeaten in their previous five at home against Cremonese. However Cremonese will be feeling confident after their surprise 2-2 draw against Napoli in the Coppa Italia, thanks to a brace from Joao Pedro.

The match is likely to provide plenty of goals, with six of the last seven meetings between these sides having seen over 2.5 goals, as well as six of Bologna's last seven games. Musa Barrow will be hoping to get his name on the scoresheet for Bologna, against a Cremonese side looking for their first Serie A win of the season. The match kicks off at 12.30PM EST and can be live streamed on bet365.

German rock festivals Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park have cancelled PANTERA’s planned appearance this June following an outcry over vocalist Philip Anselmo's past racist remarks. The reunion of the surviving members -- Anselmo and Rex Brown (bass), alongside touring guitarist Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) and drummer Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX) -- was met with criticism over January 2016 “Dimebash” event at the Lucky Strike Live in Hollywood, where Anselmo made a Nazi-style salute and appeared to scream “white power”.

Amidst additional scrutiny of the fact that Rock Im Park is set to take place in Nurnberg, where Hitler supporters held a series of Nazi party rallies between 1933 and 1938, the German Green Party called for Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park organizers to cancel PANTERA's appearances. The Green's spokeswoman for the Greens against racism and right-wing extremism, Reka Lorincz, called it “the deliberate misuse of former Nazi premises for the staging and reproduction of racist and inhuman ideologies.”

Foo Fighters have since been announced to fill the slot left by PANTERA, stating they are “see[ing] you Friday, June 2nd at Rock Am Ring and Sunday the June 4th at Rock Im Park.” While Machine Head frontman, Robb Flynn, argued that there was no white wine backstage and that no apology could fix the incident, PANTERA’s Vinnie Paul’s estate has shared their opinion on the reunion, stating that “there can never be a PANTERA reunion without Vinnie and Dime.” Despite this, the band's controversial reunion has come to an end before it began, as fans were left with an unprecedented reaction that left PANTERA without the stage.
