Pep Guardiola urged Rodri to "control your emotions" before getting sent off against Nottingham Forest on Saturday and criticised the performance of referee Anthony Taylor at full-time. The treble winners were 2-0 up and cruising at the break thanks to strikes from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, before Spain international Rodri was dismissed at the start of the second half for raising his hands to Morgan Gibbs-White during a scuffle. No more goals arrived after half-time as City contained Forest despite the player deficit. City boss Guardiola was unhappy with the inconsistency of decisions made by official Taylor, who booked ten players during the afternoon, also admitting his advice was ignored by Rodri. "The first minute, Haaland goes alone to the goal and it's a yellow card [that isn't given], it's the same guy who makes an action to Rodri and it's a yellow card and that would be the second yellow card. After the first action, we get a yellow card,&quo

Amazon.com Inc on Wednesday unveiled a slate of new and refreshed devices and updated its Alexa voice assistant with generative artificial intelligence to attract users to the unprofitable product as com Pet ition grows from chatbots like Google's Bard. Alexa will converse more naturally, losing its robotic tone of nearly a decade, and answer questions like the start time for Football Game s and recipe ideas. It will also be able to compose and recite poems, Amazon showed at the company's annual product launch in Arlington, Virginia. Amazon introduced Alexa in 2014, but has not found a consistent means to make it profitable, instead driving shoppers toward the company's website for more purchases. Typically accessed through speakers or enabled televisions, the service provides spoken answers to user queries, like the local weather, and can serve as a hub to control home appliances. The Seattle-based company has worked to pep up Alexa particularly after OpenAI's Ch

An asteroid NASA's been tracking for nearly 25 years could impact Earth in the future , a new report reveals. First discovered in 1999, Bennu, the near-Earth asteroid, could possibly drift into the planet's orbit and could hit the planet by September 2182, according to the OSIRIS-REx Science team. MORE: New details in F-35 'mishap' as mystery remains about how jet was lost Bennu passes near Earth every six years and has had three close encounters with Earth in 1999, 2005, and 2011, experts said in the Science Direct study.

Growing up, one of my favorite holiday traditions was opening a brand new box of Pot of Gold chocolates on Christmas morning. My siblings and I would carefully consult the guide on the lid to decide which delicious bonbon we'd devour first. My brother, whose tastes were more refined than our own, invariably went for the dark truffle, while my sister always chose the almond cream. I personally favored the hard caramel, despite the fact it had the consistency of liquid cement and generally resulted in a lost filling.  October's sports schedule is a lot like those boxes: It truly has something for everyone. Football lovers can delight in NFL, NCAAF, and CFL action. Diehard baseball fans can enjoy four rounds of postseason action culminating in the World Series. Hoops heads can look forward to the return of the NBA as well as the continuation of the WNBA playoffs. Hockey aficionados have another full season of the NHL to watch. Even race fans have something to gear up for, wi

In an NBC interview, Trump refused or avoided answering questions about his conduct on Jan. 6 -- but maintained that it was his decision to challenge the 2020 election In a new interview, former President Donald Trump refused or avoided answering many specific questions about his conduct on Jan. 6 -- but maintained that it was his decision to challenge the 2020 election, the manner of which is now at the center of two of the four indictments he faces. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and dismissed the prosecutions as politically motivated. In the interview with NBC News' Kristen Welker, which aired Sunday on "Meet the Press" after portions were released last week, Trump agreed that he was calling the shots when it came to falsely claiming that the last presidential election was illegitimate. "As to whether or not I believe it was rigged? Sure. It was my decision. But I listened to some people. Some people said that," he said. Trump, who is seeking the 20
