Paris St-Germain defender Serge Aurier is being investigated by Fifa after appearing to make a throat-slitting gesture to supporters.
Aurier, 23, celebrated an Ivory Coast goal against Mali by turning to the crowd and dragging his hand across his throat.
Governing body Fifa said a "preliminary investigation is under way".

In the same game, Aurier was praised for "saving the life" of Mali forward Moussa Doumbia.
After Doumbia was knocked unconscious in a challenge with Sunderland's Lamine Kone, Aurier intervened to stop the Rostov player swallowing his tongue.
Mali manager Alain Giresse said he spoke to Aurier after the 2018 World Cup qualifier to thank him for his "superb reactions".
The controversial celebration was the latest in a string of incidents involving the full-back.
In September, he was sentenced to two months in jail for elbowing a police officer, but remains free pending an appeal.
And in February, he was suspended by PSG after appearing to …

First lady Michelle Obama was unflinching Thursday in her pointed criticism of Republican presidential Donald Trump and the recently surfaced tape that showed the GOP nominee bragging about sexual assault. 
It "has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted," Obama said in a rally in New Hampshire.
"In this election we have a candidate for president of the United States, who in the course of his lifetime, in the course of this campaign, has said things about women that are so shocking, so demeaning, that I simply will no repeat anything here today," Obama said. "And last week, we saw this candidate actually bragging about sexually assaulting women. And I can't believe that I'm saying that. A candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women. I have to tell you I can't stop thinking about this.

It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn't have predicted."

Dario Fo, the Italian playwright and actor famous for his cutting political satires, has died in Milan at the age of 90.
Fo, whose plays include Accidental Death of an Anarchist and Can't Pay? Won't Pay!, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1997.
He was also known for Mistero Buffo, a one-man play he travelled the world with for 30 years.
His plays often starred his actress wife Franca Rame.
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, a target himself of Fo's sharp wit, remembered him on Thursday as "one of the great protagonists of theatre, culture and the civic life of our country".
He said: "His satire, his research, his work on set design, his multi-faceted artistic activity remain the legacy of a great Italian in the world."
Born in March 1926 in Sangiano, a small town on Lake Maggiore, Fo learned the art of storytelling from his grandfather, a travelling salesman with a gift for spinning yarns.
He was conscripted towards the end of World War II but m…

As Kevin Hart's star continues to rise, there's another comedian he continues to look to for advice.
"Chris Rock [is my mentor], one hundred percent," Hart told CNN Wednesday at the New York premiere of his new comedy tour film "What Now?" "Rock's advice is always great. It's always spot on." Hart said Rock taught him to make his comedy "universal." "I think that's why in any tour you see, you see me touring the world telling jokes," Hart said. "I don't just stay in one spot or do one thing. I'm gone, all the time, every day, all day." Another big influence on Hart's life, was his mother, Nancy Hart, who died in 2007 after battling cancer.  "My biggest mentor is my angel, it's my mother ... rest in peace," Hart said. "[She] basically taught me everything I know, especially when it comes to persistence, believing in yourself and thinking that you can do whatever it is yo…

The 2016 Progressive Peoples’ Party’s Presidential candidate says the Electoral Commission (EC) should pardon errors on his presidential nomination form because it also makes mistakes.
Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom who is set to challenge his disqualification in court pointed out errors committed by the EC on a receipt given to him for payment of GH¢1.7 million as filing fees for the party’s 170 parliamentary candidates.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that the club cannot depend on young amazing talents like Nigerian player Alex Iwobi and Hector Bellerin to win major titles despite the 20yr old Nigerian being a major game-changer since he joined the first team last season.

Wenger says it's important to have the perfect mix of young talents and experienced players if they are to win titles at the end of the season.

"To be a real football player, you need to be 23 years old because you have learned your job, you can have a great game and after, sometimes an average game," Wenger said. "You can have one or two exceptional talents, like at the moment we have Hector Bellerin and Iwobi, but the core of the team has to be from 23 to 30. "If you look at the national teams, you never win a tournament with a young team, because it's more mental at some stage to win something big. "You need to have a certain level of experience."

Apple has fired a number of employees at a store in Brisbane, Australia, amid allegations they shared photos of female customers and colleagues and ranked their bodies out of 10.

American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan won the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday, a stunning announcement that for the first time bestowed the prestigious award on a musician for "having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."
Reporters and others gathered at the Swedish Academy's headquarters in Stockholm's Old Town reacted with a loud cheer as his name was read out.

Dylan, 75, is arguably the most iconic poet-musician of his generation. Songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" became anthems for the U.S. anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960s. His impact on popular culture was immense.

But although he had been mentioned in the Nobel speculation for years, many experts had ruled him out, thinking the academy wouldn't extend its more than a century-old award to the world of music.

They were wrong. The academy's permanent secretary, Sara Danius, s…

Video from 1992 has emerged of Donald Trump telling a young girl that he would be dating her in 10 years.

The tape, which was aired Wednesday evening on CBS, comes from the Entertainment Tonight vaults.

Read the TMZ report below...
Ciara's $15 million lawsuit against Future is going to be more of an uphill battle for her ... after the judge just ruled the rapper's angry tweets alone aren't enough to prove Ciara's been damaged. The exes are locked in a nasty suit -- with Ciara claiming Future ruined her image as a mother and a singer.

It means, Ciara will have to offer up more evidence as to how her career has been damaged since Future's Twitter rant. Bottom line -- Future won a battle, but it's still anybody's war to win in court.

Oprah Winfrey is facing a lawsuit over "Iyanla: Fix My Life."
According to TheWrap, A Mississippi woman is claiming that the OWN show featuring life coach Iyanla Vazant is a "carbon copy" of her own work, a proposed show called "The Agency," and is seeking unspecified damages.

The aggrieved flagbearer of the All People’s Congress (APC) Hassan Ayariga has described Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as “a comedian.”

“Nana Addo is a comedian,” the disqualified pizza maker, whose aspiration to occupy the seat of government – the Flagstaff House – was cut short by the Electoral Commission spewed.

Speaking on Starr Chat Wednesday, Mr. Ayariga jabbed the New Patriotic Party flagbearer, saying he is “not fit to be at the presidency.”

“If I were him I will retire. Anybody at the age of 72 would have retired,” the former leader of the People’s National Convention (PNC) during the 2012 elections told host Bola Ray.

He, however, noted he is on good terms with the former foreign affairs minister and they have always had a hale and hearty chat anytime they meet.

Ayariga described his disqualification by the Electoral Commission as “painful”.

“I’m not a happy man when it comes to things that I do right and somebody will disqualify us.”
