Nicola Sturgeon opens up about breakdown of her relationship with Alex Salmond

Manchester United are targeting a move for Christopher Nkunku, whose career has already been saved by Ralf Rangnick in the past. The Leipzig midfielder has been in fine form this season and is understood to be attracting interest from a host of top European clubs ahead of the summer window.Nkunku has scored 19 goals and provided 13 assists in 31 appearances in all competitions so far this season, including seven goals in Leipzig's six Champions League matches.As a result, Rangnick is urging the Red Devils to make an approach for the 24-year-old when the transfer window reopens in the summer.ESPN reports that Nkunku has now been added to the club's list of potential midfield targets, following a recommendation from Rangnick.The pair previously worked together in Germany, with Rangnick working as Leipzig's director of football when Nkunku was signed from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.Nkunku had struggled to break into the first team in Paris before reigniting his career with Leipzig after being saved by Rangnick.A former France under-21 international, he held talks with Arsenal before joining Leipzig three years ago.Should Manchester United push to sign Christopher Nkunku in the summer? Let us know in the comments section below.The Bundesliga side are understood to be keen to keep hold of him in the summer, though, and are said to be doing their best to fend off any interest.Speaking to Sky in Germany at the weekend, Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff said: "He [Nkunku] will also play with us next season because of course he is a very important player."In football nothing is ever certain, but that's our plan.

large flock of birds mysteriously drop dead, leaving social media users puzzled over what could have caused the sudden death.A video published to Twitter shows the massive swarm of migratory blackbirds appear out of nowhere, with many crashing into the ground while others scrambled away from the concrete below.The footage from the Mexican state of Chihuahua shows a cluster of birds falling from the sky and crashing to their deaths.American Conservative Union boss Matt Schlapp watched the footage and quipped "Pls not bird flu," when the footage of the massive bird purge gained attention online.Social media users are trying to solve the mysterious mass death, with several Twitter users speculating over why the birds plummeted into the ground.One user said: "I don't think they dropped dead.

World Cup is just eight years away from celebrating its 100th-year anniversary, where the 2030 edition will be held is still a mystery.But still, 100 years after its inception, an embarrassing moment in its first edition will still be remembered.In USA's semi-final clash with Argentina, the medics were forced onto the pitch after one particularly unsavoury challenge.However, when USA's physio, Jack Coll, ran onto the pitch he tripped and fell, smashed his chloroform bottle on his way down.As a result, Coll sedated himself on the pitch, meaning the physio, not the player, was stretchered off.The USA had cruised through the group stages - beating Paraguay and Belgium 3-0 to book a spot in the knockout rounds.With this being the first edition of the tournament, only 12 teams travelled to Uruguay, and the knockouts started with the semi-finals.Argentina dismantled the USA 6-1 Estadio Centenario in the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo in front of 72,000 fans.However, Argentina were beaten by the hosts in an all-South American final as Uruguay claimed the first of their two World Cup triumphs.What's the strangest thing you've seen at a football game? Let us know in the comments sectionIt wasn't until the 2002 World Cup, hosted in South Korea & Japan, when the US side was able to win a knockout game at the World Cup.That win came at the expense of Mexico, and Brian McBride and Landon Donovan were on the scoresheet that day.

Hollywood star.The gritty ITV drama boasts a star-studded cast including Benidorm actress Sheridan Smith and Sherlock star Sian Brooke.However, when the gritty ITV drama returned to screens on Monday night (February 14), some fans were distracted by the show's young lead actor - Louis Ashbourne Serkis.That's because they realised he is the son of Lord of the Rings actor Andy Serkis, who famously played Gollum in the Oscar-winning fantasy trilogy directed by Peter Jackson.Louis plays Sheridan's on-screen son Noah in the crime series which is set in Turkey - which follows a family holiday that takes a horrible turn.Sixteen-year-old Noah gets locked up in prison on suspicion of sexually assaulting another boy - and he faces a 12-year prison sentence.Sheridan's Kathy is Noah's worried mum who is desperate to prove authorities that her teen son is innocent.When the drama returned on Monday, it saw a heartbroken Kathy visit her son Noah in prison - but things were looking hopeless for her boy until a potential witness turned up at her door, claiming she could help Noah.Eagle-eyed fans appeared to be more interested in Louis and his dad, though, and they flocked to Twitter to chat about it.One fan wrote: "Is the lad played by the son of Andy Serkis? Looks very much like him #noreturn".A second replied: "Yes he is! Thought the same myself."A third replied to the thread with a thumbs-up emoji.Another wanted to praise Louis' acting - and felt like he was going to follow in his parents' footsteps.That's because Louis' mum Lorraine Ashbourne is a well-renowned actress in her own right, having starred in TV shows like The Street, Casualty and Thin Ice.She's also appeared on the theatre circuit - starring in Othello alongside her

Fallon Sherrock was ‘not as close as people think’ to securing a Premier League spot.The PDC Premier League Darts kicked off earlier this month, as eight of the world’s best players battle it out for one of the biggest prizes in darts.Prior to the lineup being announced, many had tipped Sherrock to become the first female player to compete in the event, as she continues to make a name for herself in the men’s game.Arguably Sherrock’s most impressive performance on the men’s tour came late last year, as she saw off Mike de Decker, Gabriel Clemens and Mensur Suljovic on the way to a quarter-final finish at the Grand Slam of Darts.This again led to many arguing the Queen of the Palace’s case to earn a Premier League spot, however Porter has since played down Sherrock’s initial chances.When asked how close the 27-year-old was to making the 17-night event, he told Online Darts TV: “Not as close as people think.”The announcement of the lineup for the 2022 lineup was delayed this year, and many thought the wait was down to seeing if Sherrock was able to secure a tour card.However when she failed at Q-school, Porter admitted this wiped her Premier League chances away.He continued: “Obviously when she didn’t win a tour card it made it not a question, because we don’t have non-tour card holders in the Premier League.Do you think Sherrock deserved a Premier League place? Let us know in the comments section.“People used to say ‘why don’t you put the BDO champion in, why don’t you put Phil [Taylor] in after he retired’ things like that. We’ve got tour cards for a reason.
