Cuba: Obama welcome to visit but not to meddle
US President Barack Obama himself called on Thursday for Congress to lift the embargo, calling it the “legacy of a failed policy”. USA regulations still prohibit travel to Cuba for tourism.

The Reds were well on top for most of the game at Anfield yet failed to put their chances away and while Christian Benteke ended his run without a goal, his failure to score with Kasper Schmeichel up field in the final minute did rather sum up how things are in attack for this side at present.

Tima said the rejection was to blame for Abdullah making the risky boat trip that killed his wife and two young sons. She travelled to Belgium, Germany and Turkey, helping give a voice to those displaced by the war in Syria.

Liverpool are likely to be without striker Divock Origi for Wednesday’s match.

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce has ruled out a centre-half role for Jack Rodwell.

Former England global Brown is set for only his second appearance since May, with his most recent coming in last month’s 6-2 defeat at Everton.
