  • Suspects arrested in fatal Pakistan

    Suspects arrested in fatal Pakistan

    Several suspects have been arrested in connection with Monday’s suicide bomb blast in a mosque in Pakistan’s northern city of Peshawar that killed more than 100 people.

    More arrests will take place following a major police investigation into the attack that injured another 217 people, Peshawar Police Chief Mohammad Aijaz Khan said. 

    Authorities are also investigating how the attacker entered the mosque, Khan added. Families that live in the police compound where the mosque is located are being interrogated as police cannot rule out that the attacker may have been helped by someone internally.

    Police suspect that 12 kilograms (26.5 pounds) of explosives were used by a suicide bomber, Inspector General of Peshawar Police Moazim Jah Ansari said earlier. 

    Footage emerged of the destroyed walls of the mosque, with glass windows and paneling pummeled in the powerful explosion.

    Emergency workers searched through the rubble to locate survivors in the aftermath of the explosion, but authorities said “mostly dead bodies” were being found.

  • Spending records smashed in winter transfer window

    Spending records smashed in winter transfer window

    The British transfer record was smashed on deadline day as an unprecedented January transfer window ended with Premier League clubs having spent £2.8bn during the 2022-23 season.

    Chelsea’s 121m euro (£107m) deal for Benfica’s Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez – once confirmed – will take the total expenditure by top-flight clubs in January to a record-breaking £815m.

    More than £275m was spent on deadline day alone before the window closed for English clubs at 23:00 GMT on Tuesday.

    The deadline day outlay was an increase of 83% on the previous January record of £150m, set in 2018.

    And, while an all-time high season expenditure across both the summer and winter windows was guaranteed after a record of £1.9bn was set in September, the final total is double the previous record of £1.4bn in 2017.

    The 2018 winter record spend of £430m by Premier League clubs had also already been smashed prior to Tuesday’s deadline day, with the eventual total in 2023 an increase of 90% on that – and almost triple the previous January window (£295m), according to financial services firm Deloitte.

    The Premier League’s financial dominance in Europe increased to the highest proportion ever reported, as the spending by English top-flight clubs accounted for 79% of the total across Europe’s ‘big five’ football leagues, where January spending fell by 35% from 2022 to €255m (£225m).

    Indeed, Chelsea spent more in January – around £288m – than the combined total of all clubs in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1.

    Among English Football League clubs, spending rose to £25m, up from £20m in the previous winter window.

    However, just 3% of Premier League clubs’ total outlay (£25m) was spent on acquiring players from the EFL, with a record 85% spent on talent playing outside the UK. 

    Tim Bridge, the lead partner in Deloitte’s Sports Business Group, said: “The record spending by Premier League clubs this season is beyond anything that we’ve seen before. 

    “Premier League clubs have outspent those within the rest of Europe’s ‘big five leagues by almost four to one in this transfer window, allowing them to hold on to their key players while attracting top talent from overseas.
