Fani Willis, a Democrat recently elected as DA for Fulton County, also addressed the issue of criminal intent, seen by legal experts as a sticking point in any prosecution, with an apparent reference to Trump’s request to “find 11,780 votes.” Willis has stressed her impartiality in interviews since it was announced that her office would take on the case. Speaking to local news channel WSB-TV2 Atlanta, she said they would not “treat anyone differently....

No. 3 Georgia didn’t just erase any doubts about their national championship pedigree in a 34-11 blowout against No. 2 Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl on Friday. The Bulldogs also changed the perception about how that rematch against No. 1 Alabama might flow in the College Football Playoff championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium on Jan. 10. “I’m so happy for these kids,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said on the ESPN telecast afterward....

Shooting into the air, the new arrivals chased off a carload of genuine police who had also arrived on the scene. Then they took Shaw. The fate of Shaw, in Georgia on assignment for the European Union, is still unknown. But his kidnapping underscores the enormous challenges still facing the political stability and economic well-being of this strategic former Soviet republic. Shaw was at least the fourth foreigner to be kidnapped here in the last 18 months....

The county faced scrutiny going into 2020’s presidential election, especially after coronavirus infections affected the June primary due to poll workers who were sick or wishing to avoid getting COVID-19. New voting equipment only added to problems during the primary. Former President Donald Trump then pushed unproven claims about election fraud after November’s presidential election, saying fraud cost him victory in the state. GOP state lawmakers then pushed the Republican-controlled State Election Board to remove local election officials....

Yellow Jackets play-by-play announcer Brandon Gaudin was there every step of the way Saturday night as Lance Austin scooped up the ball and took it 78 yards to the end zone. The “Miracle on Techwood Drive” will be remembered in Atlanta for a long time. MORE: Best of Week 8 | Scoreboard | Best plays of the past decade One funny aspect of the play: Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson was actually telling his players to get away after the Roberto Aguayo kick was blocked....

Jeanna Renee Triplicata, 18, was taking part in a tandem jump with a professional instructor at SkyDive Atlanta when both chutes failed to open properly on Sunday. Both Triplicata and her instructor, Nick Esposito, 35, died crashing into a field in Upson County. Her family said they were taking part in a dive together so Triplicata could tick off an item on her bucket list, which she hoped to complete before she started her freshman year at the University of North Georgia in August....

The team says police are investigating after the trophy disappeared during an event in Birmingham, where Team Sky displayed the three Grand Tour trophies won by its riders. In addition to this year’s Tour de France and Giro d’Italia, a rider for Sky also claimed the 2017 Spanish Vuelta title. Sky says “regrettably, during the clear-up operation at the end of the event, Geraint Thomas’s Tour de France trophy was momentarily left unattended and stolen....

On Friday morning, Der Spiegel’s front page featured a camouflage-clad Trump sitting inside an Oval Office that looked as though someone had prepared it for war. The president, rifle in hand, bears an angry, frowning expression while the portrait of a smiling Biden hangs behind him, shattered with a single, smoking bullet hole shot through. The caption read simply “Der hausbesetzer,” which translates in English to “the squatter.” “Even if [Trump] loses this election, he will be able to continue playing an outsized role in American politics – as the leader of a furious opposition that doesn’t recognize his successor,” the article stated....

Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez fought gallantly after losing the first two sets, drawing level in a marathon match of over four-and-a-half hours, but Tim Puetz and Jan-Lennard Struff eventually sealed a shock 6-3 6-4 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 victory. Now world number one Nadal must beat world number four Alexander Zverev if Spain are to avoid defeat in the last eight. The other two European match-ups are also 2-1 as it stands, as the French pair - boasting the ATP’s ninth-ranked doubles player Nicolas Mahut alongside Pierre Hugues Herbert - raced to victory in straight sets, defeating Italy 6-4 6-3 6-1....

Kittle will wear the Tour’s yellow jersey on Sunday after timing his sprint finish to perfection to beat rivals Peter Sagan and Ramunas Navardauskas on the line. His triumph was helped by a crash in the final straight as Britain’s Mark Cavendish collided with Simon Gerrans and Bryan Coquard. Cavendish completed the race but has a dislocated shoulder. “I feel sorry for him,” Kittel. “It’s something no one wants to see....

Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane scored superb goals to give Germany a 2-0 lead in Amsterdam in Group C, but Memphis Depay inspired a turnaround after the break with a goal and an assist. With the spoils seemingly set to be shared, Nico Schulz came up with a late winner to give Germany victory at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Sunday. It was revenge for Germany, beaten 3-0 by Ronald Koeman’s side in the Nations League last year, and their first victory away to the Dutch in 23 years....

The two teams will meet at the Olympiastadion Berlin as they face off for the first time since Germany’s victory over Brazil at World Cup 2014. And defender Miranda is confident his side can claim victory in what will be another important step forward for Tite and his players. “I think this is the ideal time to face them,” Miranda told a press conference in Berlin. “We have that trust now and our heads are in the right place....

Coach Joachim Loew said on Wednesday the 2018 World Cup in Russia was the goal and the June 17-July 2 Confederations Cup just a stop along the road, and some of his players would be competing in their third major tournament in three years. “Three tournaments in three years is borderline,” Loew told reporters in reference to the 2014 World Cup and last year’s Euro. “Even two in two years is hard....

Germany qualified for the semi-finals of EURO 2012, by dismantling a spirited Greek side by 4-2. The style and flair exhibited by the Germans in this match was too much for their Greek counterparts, who were severely out-played and outclassed by the exorbitant attacking display, put up by the Germans. Italy, on the other hand, had to go through a rather nerve-wrecking affair beating England on penalties (4-2), after both sides failed to score in the 120 minutes of football played....

The winger, who plays for VfL Bochum in the German Bundesliga, made a huge impact on a game that had seen Ilkay Gundogan give Germany the lead through a first-half penalty, before Japan substitute Ritsu Doan equalised 15 minutes from the end. That gave Asano enough time to latch onto Ko Itakura’s long ball forward and execute a sublime piece of control – reminiscent of Dennis Bergkamp for the Netherlands against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup – and score past Manuel Neuer to spark wild celebrations among the blue sections of the stadium....

The only runs Cole allowed in his six innings of work came off the bat of San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford, whose sister Amy is Cole’s wife. The family was watching intently from the stands as Crawford hit a line drive into the left-field Crawford (no relation) boxes at Minute Maid Park in the top of the fifth. This was Crawford’s first dinger against Cole in 20 career plate appearances, although Cole said Crawford should have had one when Cole was pitching for the Pirates....

Even though the majority of Genshin Impact’s content is fairly easy to beat by leveling up properly, players can struggle in certain boss fights or high-level domains. Spiral Abyss is probably the only part of the game players struggle in as it requires multiple characters to have maxed out stats in order to benefit from the different bonuses each floor of the Abyss grants.
