Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck has had a second operation on his broken right ankle.

The 27-year-old was injured during Thursday’s Europa League draw with Sporting Lisbon, and had to be carried off on a stretcher.

Manager Unai Emery said on Sunday that he did not know if the England striker will return this season.

“Danny will now start his rehabilitation. It’s too early to say how long this will take,” Arsenal said.

“Both procedures went well, without complications. Everyone at the club will now be providing Danny with the best possible treatment and support in order to make him fit again as soon as possible.”

Welbeck, who has scored five goals in 14 matches for Arsenal this season, had been included in the latest England squad for games against the United States and Croatia next week.

ASCII bunnies are evergreen. 

Best known for holding signs with hot takes, the bunny has taken on a more wholesome character of late with this new meme.

The “u want this?” bunny took over Twitter in early November. Like a saucy Janet from The Good Place, the bunny can fulfill all of your requests, but only if you meet its conditions. 

The meme started with the bunny offering its heart, but only if you promised to give it something in return. In this case, you’d have to give it your full astrological chart to check for compatibility. 

Since then, the meme has been adapted for any mood, from trying to finish a degree to taking care of the planet. The hearts are interchangeable for emoji, and with this, the bunny became sassier.

At its core, though, the meme is still pretty wholesome.

Let’s all just take a moment to appreciate this adorable bunny and all of the hearts it has to give.

As wildfires raged at both ends of the state of California, officials released another grim statistic: six more bodies discovered in the burned-over town of Paradise and outlying areas, bringing the death toll there to 29 and matching the record for the deadliest single fire in California’s history.

Statewide the death toll stood at 31 on Monday, including two dead in southern California, with authorities still searching for bodies and 228 people unaccounted for. 

Search teams were working in Paradise, a town of 27,000 that was largely incinerated Thursday. and in surrounding communities in northern California’s Sierra Nevada foothills.

Authorities called in a DNA lab and anthropologists to help identify what, in some cases, were only bones or bone fragments.

More than 8,000 firefighters battled wildfires that scorched at least 1,040sq km of the state, with the flames feeding on dry brush and driven by winds that had a blowtorch effect.

“This is truly a tragedy that all Californians can understand and respond to,” Governor Jerry Brown said on Sunday.

“It’s a time to pull together and work through these tragedies.”

California is requesting emergency aid from the Trump administration. President Donald Trump has blamed what he called poor forest management for the fires, without presenting evidence to support his claim.

The governor said that the federal and state governments must do more forest management but that climate change is the greater source of the problem.

“And those who deny that are definitely contributing to the tragedies that we’re now witnessing and will continue to witness in the coming years,” Brown said.

Climate change

Drought and warmer weather attributed to climate change, and the building of homes deeper into forests have led to longer and more destructive wildfire seasons in California. While California officially emerged from a five-year drought last year, much of the northern two-thirds of the state is abnormally dry. 

In southern California, firefighters beat back a new round of winds Sunday and the fire’s growth was believed to have been largely stopped, though extremely low humidity and gusty Santa Ana winds were in the forecast through at least Tuesday.

Some of the thousands of people forced from their homes were allowed to return, and authorities reopened US 101, a major freeway through the fire zone in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Malibu residents in nearby mountains were slowly learning whether their homes had been spared or reduced to ash. Two people were killed in Malibu, and the fire destroyed at least 180 or so structures.

As of Sunday night, the fire had grown to more than 344sq km was 15 percent contained, authorities said. 

‘Wiped off the map’

In northern California, where more than 6,700 buildings have been destroyed in the blaze that obliterated Paradise, firefighters contended with wind gusts up to 64km an hour overnight, the fire jumping 91 metres across Lake Oroville.

The state fire agency said Monday that the fire had grown to 303sq km and was 25 percent contained.

The magnitude of the devastation was beginning to set in even as the blaze raged on. Public safety officials toured the Paradise area to begin discussing the recovery. Much of what makes the city function was gone.

“Paradise was literally wiped off the map,” said Tim Aboudara, a firefighters union representative. He said at least 36 firefighters lost their own homes, most in the Paradise area.

Others continued the desperate search for friends or relatives, calling evacuation centres, hospitals, police and the coroner’s office.

Sol Bechtold drove from shelter to shelter looking for his mother, Joanne Caddy, a 75-year-old widow whose house burned down along with the rest of her neighbourhood in Magalia, just north of Paradise. She lived alone and did not drive.

As he drove through the smoke and haze to yet another shelter, he said, “I’m also under a dark emotional cloud. Your mother’s somewhere and you don’t know where she’s at. You don’t know if she’s safe.”

The 29 dead in northern California matched the deadliest single fire on record, a 1933 blaze in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. A series of wildfires in northern California’s wine country last fall killed 44 people and destroyed more than 5,000 homes.

Ariana Grande‘s “Thank U, Next” is now a bonafide chart triumph, and the only thing surprising about that is that it’s her first No. 1 single ever. “Overdue” doesn’t even begin to cover it!

On Monday (November 12), Billboard reported that “Thank U, Next” debuted at the top of the Hot 100, dethroning Maroon 5 and Cardi B’s “Girls Like You,” which had reigned for seven weeks straight. The self care-championing single, inspired by Grande’s appreciation for her exes, is the first No. 1 debut for a woman since Adele’s “Hello” in 2015. Even more impressive, “Thank U, Next” arrives as the top-streamed and top-selling song of the week, speaking to its utterly irresistible appeal.

“Yeeeeeee baby’s first number one,” tweeted a grateful Grande after the news broke. “For once I don’t really have words. I love u so much and thank u.” She added on her Instagram Story, “I’m so grateful that it’s this song.”

You may be wondering how on earth Ari hadn’t notched a No. 1 single before this, especially since she’s come close so many times before. Indeed, “Thank U, Next” marks her 35th Hot 100 entry, and she had previously peaked at No. 2 with the Iggy Azalea-featuring “Problem” in 2014. “No Tears Left to Cry” came close to the top, peaking at No. 3, as did “Side to Side” and “Break Free,” which both topped out at No. 4.

Ari definitely has a lot to be thankful for this week, and with a new album on the way and her latest Sweetener single, “Breathin,” also climbing its way up the charts, there’s every reason to believe she’s not done making chart history yet. Next!

No matter what kind of home assistant or smart speaker you’re on a first name basis with, chances are you’ve reached co-dependent status with it — because no one wants to physically do things when you can yell at a piece of plastic to do it instead. Playing actual board games? It’s not 1984. Jotting down things for your to-do list? Uh, pens are practically an endangered species. Knowing things? Please, there’s the internet for that. 

Our go-to commands get us through the day, but when you really think about it, your favorite requests actually reveal a lot about your character. Here, we take a closer look at what your choice commands could be saying about you. 

“Set a timer”

When you ask your home assistant to set a timer, you feel like the boss of your domain. Heaven forbid you should have to take out your phone to manually do it on some digital app. No, you have things to do! You are clearly a precise, punctual, and to-the-point person, which means you are efficient with your time and can’t waste precious seconds on anything beyond asking a timer to be set for you. We’re talking as little effort as possible — just a shout, if you will — because you’re too busy multitasking or trying to get in a 6-minute cat nap to worry about an alarm, too. 

“Read the news” 

If you ask a smart speaker to read you the news, you’re mildly interested in what’s happening around you and want the anyone who’s tracking your digital footprint to think that you’re smart. Optics are important to you, and how are you to keep up appearances if you don’t have a loose grasp on current events? A firm grasp might require actually picking up a newspaper or scrolling through a news site — but the former would get ink on your fingers and the latter would put you at risk for carpal tunnel, so you respectfully decline and prefer to consume your news aurally. It’s eco-friendly and efficient, and everyone loves a twofer.

“What time is it?”

We all need to know what time it is, but our phones, clocks, or watches aren’t always nearby. Asking for the time is a natural question for a hands-free assistant, especially when you, well, have your hands full. Now, if you’re the type to ask what time it is multiple times, that’s just peak laziness. Get quiet, dig deep, and ask yourself: Are you happy with this sloth life? You also may be suffering from acute lethargy and should consider consulting a physician.

“Play [song]”

Sometimes you have a song in your head and you just need to hear it in real life. Other times you just need to fill the deafening silence in the room. Either way, you’re a fantastic human being because you like music and everyone knows that music is awesome and makes the world go ‘round. Also, if you have friends who don’t like music, they’re probably robots and you should excise them from your social circle immediately. 

“What’s the weather?”

No longer can you make it through more than five waking minutes of the morning without knowing what the weather is. How will you decide what to wear? What if you’re too hot or too cold? Do you need an umbrella? Ultimately this says you’re the type who likes to be prepared for anything. Not only do you ask what the weather is, you also try to mine additional information by posing your question in other clever ways: What’s the temperature? Is it going to rain today? Fear not, A-types. To ensure you’re always primed for the elements, wear layers. And remember: If it’s fall or winter, it’s always sweater weather. 

North Korea is moving ahead with its ballistic missile programme, according to a new report by a US-based think-tank which identified over a dozen small undeclared bases.

Based on satellite images analysed by Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the report detailed 13 of the suspected 20 hidden sites, which are mostly scattered in the country’s remote mountainous areas.

“The ballistic missile operating bases are small, dispersed throughout the nation, and, with few exceptions, located in narrow mountain valleys,” the report, which was released on Monday and could not be independently verified said.

The reported findings raised new doubts about over US President Donald Trump’s assertion that “incredible” progress had been made in Washington’s talks with Pyongyang. 

Trump has hailed his June summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as having opened the way to denuclearization of the divided peninsula, but the agreement between the two men was short on specifics and negotiations have made little headway.

Since that meeting, North Korea has forgone nuclear and missile tests, dismantled a missile test site and promised to also break up the country’s main nuclear complex.

“North Korea’s decommissioning of the Sohae satellite launch facility, while gaining much media attention, obscures the military threat to US forces and South Korea from this and other undeclared ballistic missile bases,” the CSIS report said.

“These missile operating bases, which can be used for all classes of ballistic missile from short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) up to and including intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), would presumably have to be subject to declaration, verification, and dismantlement in any final and fully verifiable denuclearization deal,” it added elsewhere.

According to Mark Fitzpatrick, from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the findings did not come as a surprise. 

“North Korea said at the beginning of the year that it would continue its mass production of missiles and nuclear weapons, and what we have here are more than a dozen missile development and production sites,” Fitzpatrick told Al Jazeera.

“I’m sure the US intelligence agencies already had a pretty good idea of these sites, and now the rest of us also have a better idea of what is going on,” he added.

Al Jazeera’s Rosiland Jordan, reporting from Washington, DC, said US intelligence “has long been aware North Korea has not dialled back its efforts to expand its nuclear or conventional missile programme”.

But she added: “One of the things that critics are seizing on with this CSIS report is that when Trump met with [North Korean leader] Kim Jong-un in Singapore earlier this year, there was no detailed agreement that was going to prevent North Korea from carrying this work”.

The denuclearization deal with North Korea is being praised and celebrated all over Asia. They are so happy! Over here, in our country, some people would rather see this historic deal fail than give Trump a win, even if it does save potentially millions & millions of lives!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 17, 2018

Trump has been upbeat on the de-nuclearisation progress so far, as well as over his relationship with Kim, whom he once called “Little Rocket Man“.

“You got no rockets flying, you have no missiles flying, you have no nuclear testing,” Trump said in the Oval Office last month. 

“We’ve made incredible progress – beyond incredible.”

But according to Fitzpatrick, the CSIS report is bound to embarrass Trump.

“I’m very pleased North Korea hasn’t tested any more missiles, but while it hasn’t tested them, it continues to produce them,” Fitzpatrick said.

“Donald Trump, who declared everything is fine, now has egg on his face.”

Earlier this month, North Korea expressed dismay over tough US sanctions imposed on the country, warning that Pyongyang may revert to its former policy if the US did not change its stance.

It’s hard to imagine someone who’s had a greater impact on pop culture than Stan Lee. The prolific comic book writer, editor, and publisher helped create some of the most iconic and beloved Marvel characters — from Black Panther and the X-Men to Iron Man and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, The Avengers — and has influenced generations of creatives and kids, both young and old, after him.

On Monday (November 12), Lee died at the age of 95 after being rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. TMZ was the first to report the news, which was then confirmed by Lee’s daughter, J.C. Lee.

Lee transformed Marvel Comics into a publishing powerhouse in the 1960s alongside artist Jack Kirby. In 1961, they introduced the first of their many iconic ink-and-paper creations: The Fantastic Four. And ultimately, Lee was instrumental in ushering in the Silver Age of comics, with complicated superheroes who routinely grappled with the very human effects of saving the world — and themselves.

The Fantastic Four, like many of Lee’s creations that followed them, weren’t perfect. They made mistakes and dealt with the aftermath. That’s what made them special in the eyes of young readers — and a stark contrast to the righteous roster over at DC Comics.

When Lee created teenaged web-slinger Peter Parker with artist Steve Ditko, he gave kids a hero they could relate to; and when he envisioned a team of marginalized, super-powered mutants who face prejudice from an ignorant society, he did so with the real-world implications in mind.

With great power comes great responsibility, and nobody understood that better than Lee.

Although Lee stopped writing monthly issues in 1972 to assume the role of Marvel Comics publisher, his work has found new life on screen, where Marvel Studios reigns supreme at the box office and shows like The Gifted and Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger entertain viewers on a weekly basis. (Black Panther is the highest-grossing domestic movie of 2018 with a $700 million haul, while Avengers: Infinity War made over $2 billion globally.) To date, these films have made over $21 billion worldwide and have revolutionized Hollywood, assuring that Lee’s legacy will have a lasting impact on our culture for decades to come.

Lee also made a cameo in every Marvel film to date, a long-standing tradition in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — one that the studio will hopefully carry on in his honor.

He is survived by his daughter, J.C., who told TMZ, “My father loved all of his fans. He was the greatest, most decent man.”
