Kelly Loeffler, a 49-year-old businesswoman, is up for re-election against Rev. Raphael Warnock, a 51-year-old Baptist preacher. The pair will enter a runoff election on January 5 after neither candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote during the general election. Loeffler tweeted a video of Warnock giving a sermon on October 20, 2016, at Emory University, calling his rhetoric “disgusting and offensive.” In the 40-second clip, Warnock appears to be referring to President Donald Trump, of whom Loeffler is a strong supporter....

The lawsuit also challenges Bottoms’ order for all city restaurants to close their dining rooms and for residents only to leave home for essential trips. Atlanta and a dozen other cities have adopted similar mask requirements. Kemp’s lawsuit says that he as governor “has the power to suspend municipal orders that are contradictory to any state law or his executive orders,” and further states that local governments don’t have the authority or ability override any of the governor’s orders....

Piedmont Healthcare announced earlier this week it will mandate all of its leadership, doctors, providers and new employees to be vaccinated starting Sept. 1, with “a few rare exceptions.” “As a healthcare organization, science underlies our fundamental purpose, and in this case, science has provided a clear path forward,” the group said in a statement, which was provided to Newsweek. The Atlanta-based group runs 11 hospitals and 34 urgent care centers in the Peach State....

According to Channel 2 Action News, the suspect, Nathaniel King, 30, ended up trapped in the Cartersville shop, Salgado Tire, on January 5, 2020, after breaking and entering the shop through the rear door. A “towering rack of tires” then fell on top of him. “As the suspect made entry, as he came inside the business, the tires fell on top of him trapping him inside,” says Micheal Bettikofer, with the Cartersville Police Department, to Channel 2 Action News....

Georgia has consistently filled its two Senate seats with Republican representatives since the early 2000s, and has similarly voted for Republican presidential candidates since choosing Democrat Bill Clinton in 1992. This year the state appears to have picked former Vice President Joe Biden over President Donald—albeit by a very narrow margin—suggesting growing Democratic support among Georgia’s electorate. The state will conduct a recount, requested by Republicans, but the outcome is unlikely to change....

That’s what’s at stake when the Bulldogs and Gators meet (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS) in Jacksonville, Fla. Last year, Georgia looked like a lock to go to Atlanta, but allowed 416 rushing yards to Florida in a 38-20 loss that let Missouri slip into the SEC title game.

At one point in the game SV Vonderort were only able to field eight players, so the opposition club, PSV Oberhausen, made the sporting gesture of removing three of their own players to even up the odds. Even playing 8 v 8 football could not help Vonderort as the side failed to score in the game. Five days after the game, two police cars arrived at the SV Vonderort training ground in Bottrop....

The 29-year-old Steffen is one of the most successful German swimmers with 23 medals, reports Xinhua. “I conclude my career in the knowledge that I belong to the best in the world.

Chancellor Angela Merkel made the announcement during a press conference on Thursday. Unvaccinated people will no longer be permitted to enter nonessential stores, cultural and recreational venues.

Around 68.7 percent of Germany’s population of 83....

Late strikes from South Korea duo Kim Young-gwon and Son Heung-min sealed the defending champions’ fate as they crashed out at the bottom of Group F. Low’s team managed just three points out of a possible nine, beating Sweden with help from a late Toni Kroos stunner having opened the World Cup with defeat to Mexico. And the coach left open the possibility that he could end his 12-year association with the national team after putting in Germany’s worst campaign since 1938....

Returning captain Steven Gerrard’s last shot and a brace from Craig Bellamy fired Liverpool to a 3-1 comeback victory over Newcastle and the fifth place in Premier League. The visiting “Magpies” took a dream start after 25 minutes when Liverpool defender Daniel Agger diverted Yohan Cabaye’s header into his own net Friday night, reports Xinhua. Bellamy, the former Newcastle striker, showed no mercy to his old club as he just took four minutes to level the score, delivering a low shot to the bottom corner....

Zealots say fighting global warming is a moral imperative, so cost-benefit analyses are immoral. Like our Manichaean president, they have a simple fixation: Are you with us or not? But in his book “Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming,” the Danish economist Bjorn Lomborg suggests that global warming, although real, is not apt to be severe; that many of its consequences will be beneficial, and that the exorbitant costs of attempting to substantially curtail it would squander resources that, put to other uses, could have effects thousands of times more ameliorative....
