<p>US President Joe Biden seemingly lost his cool and lashed out at a reporter when asked about his family's relationship business relationships with China, in the backdrop of the Chinese spy balloon drama.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Are you compromised by your family’s business relationships in China?” a reporter asked, to which a visibly agitated Biden replied, “Give me a break, man,” before walking off, shrugging other questions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As another reporter egged Biden to respond to the criticism coming his way, the Democrat leader returned and gave a little sermon on 'politeness'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You can come to my office and ask a question where we have more polite people," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A Mumbai court on Friday sent social media influencer Sapna Gill to four-day police custody till February 20, a day after she allegedly assaulted Indian cricket star Prithvi Shaw for refusing a selfie.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gill was arrested on Thursday evening alongside her friend Shobhit Thakur and six others for alleged rioting and extortion. They have been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (143, 148, 149, 384, 437, 504, 506).</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Gill's lawyer Ali Kashif claimed that it was the cricketer that physically assaulted his client.&nbsp;</p>

A Mumbai court on Friday sent social media influencer Sapna Gill to four-day police custody till February 20, a day after she allegedly assaulted Indian cricket star Prithvi Shaw for refusing a selfie.

A Mumbai court on Friday sent social media influencer Sapna Gill to four-day police custody till February 20, a day after she allegedly assaulted Indian cricket star Prithvi Shaw for refusing a selfie. Gill was arrested on Thursday evening alongside her friend Shobhit Thakur and six others for alleged rioting and extortion. They have been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (143, 148, 149, 384, 437, 504, 506). Meanwhile, Gill's lawyer Ali Kashif claimed that it was the cricketer that physically assaulted his client. "Sapna was assaulted by Prithvi. A stick was seen in Prithvi's hand. Prithvi's friends assaulted the group first. Sapna is currently at Oshiwara police station. The police are not allowing her to go for medical treatment," said Kashif. The lawyer also denied that Gill had asked $600 (Rs 50,000) from Shaw to settle the matter.

Three-time UCL winning manager Zinedine Zidane hints at football comeback

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidVrWS6kQ9fvV4" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>A London resident has admitted to assaulting Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale last month at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Joseph Watts, of Dalston in Hackney, east London, appeared in front of the Uxbridge Magistrates' Court where he pleaded guilty of not only assaulting Ramsdale but also hurling projectiles on the pitch.&nbsp;35-year-old Watts threw four coins on the pitch during the match.</p>

<p>The court, hearing the case also received a statement from Ramsdale's side. According to the statement, Ramsdale had to see a 'masseuse' as his back felt 'heavy', following the blow.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I've never had someone enter the pitch and kick me, I don't think it's acceptable that I should be assaulted at work," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What happened during the match?&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Notably, after the London derby ended 2-0 in Arsenal's favour,&nbsp;Ramsdale could be seen celebrating in front of Tottenham forward Richarlison.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The hot-headed Brazilian was not amused by Ramsdale's celebration and went straight toward him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Soon, an altercation ensued between the duo as the stewards had to step in to separate the players. After the melee, Ramsdale went near his goalpost, past the byline to grab his water bottle.&nbsp;</p>

A London resident has admitted to assaulting Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale last month at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Joseph Watts, of Dalston in Hackney, east London, appeared in front of the Uxbridge Magistrates' Court where he pleaded guilty of not only assaulting Ramsdale but also hurling projectiles on the pitch.

A London resident has admitted to assaulting Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale last month at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Joseph Watts, of Dalston in Hackney, east London, appeared in front of the Uxbridge Magistrates' Court where he pleaded guilty of not only assaulting Ramsdale but also hurling projectiles on the pitch. 35-year-old Watts threw four coins on the pitch during the match. The court, hearing the case also received a statement from Ramsdale's side. According to the statement, Ramsdale had to see a 'masseuse' as his back felt 'heavy', following the blow. "I've never had someone enter the pitch and kick me, I don't think it's acceptable that I should be assaulted at work," he said. What happened during the match? Notably, after the London derby ended 2-0 in Arsenal's favour, Ramsdale could be seen celebrating in front of Tottenham forward Richarlison. The hot-headed Brazilian was not amused by Ramsdale's celebration and went straight toward him. Soon, an altercation ensued between the duo as the stewards had to step in to separate the players. After the melee, Ramsdale went near his goalpost, past the byline to grab his water bottle. It was during this moment that Watts hopped the hoarding and landed a disgraceful kick in the back of Ramsdale. Arsenal's former captain Granit Xhaka saw Watts and pointed toward him but inaction by the stewards allowed him to flee the spot. The incident was caught on camera and shared far and wide. Fans sympathised with Ramsdale and demanded the authorities ban the accused for life from every Premier League stadium.

<p>Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag gave an earful to the referees after his side was not granted a penalty during the Europa League match against Barcelona on Thursday night. In a post-match interview,&nbsp;ten Hag let it rip and said Barca defender Jules Kounde should have been sent off for his foul on Marcus Rashford.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"If I may make a point that has a big influence not only on this game but on this round, at 2-1, it was a clear foul on Marcus Rashford. We can discuss if it's inside the box or outside the box, but definitely it's a red card. Yes, I asked the referee why. So he said it was outside the box, and it was no foul," said a visibly angry Ten Hag.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Dutch manager took a shot at Barcelona for their pressure antics on the referee.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"And the linesman and referee were in a very good position to see and I think we had VAR. I think it's not good, it was a really bad decision. I can't understand. Maybe they were impressed by the pressure Barca made but they can't be [like that at] the highest European level."</p>

<p>Ten Hag was furious about the decision from on-field referee&nbsp;Maurizio Mariani and VAR to let Kounde continue after he blatantly fouled Rashford outside the penalty box when the Red Devil player had a clear goal-scoring opportunity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite the referee's&nbsp;howler, it was a fascinating game which ebbed and flowed both ways for the better part of the 90 minutes. Though the first half remained goalless, both sides created plenty of chances before exploding on the other side of the whistle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Home side Barcelona drew&nbsp;the first blood when they took the lead through Marcos Alonso's header, jut five minutes into the second half. However, Rashford, currently in the form of his life, struck within three minutes and restored the parity.&nbsp;</p>

Borussia Dortmund's young superstar Karim Adeyemi has revealed how he was able to torpedo through the Chelsea defence during the first leg of the round of 16 tie against the London-based team.

Borussia Dortmund's young superstar Karim Adeyemi has revealed how he was able to torpedo through the Chelsea defence during the first leg of the round of 16 tie against the London-based team. Adeyemi scored a superb solo goal during which he beat Chelsea's new $100 million signing Enzo Fernandez in the footrace. The 21-year-old attributed African food as the reason for his blistering pace which was at full display on Wednesday night in front of a packed Signal Iduna crowd. "I eat a lot of African food! I have good genetics from my dad so I think it will be difficult," Adeyemi told CBSSportGolazo in a post-match interview. When further quizzed as to what kind of African food he ate, Adeyemi revealed, “It is called fufu, and it’s a Nigerian food which is very good.” Read more: World Cup model who went viral for her boldness reveals her Premier Club allegiances With the game deadlocked at 0-0 till after the hour mark, it was Adeyemi that seized upon a counterattack opportunity and beat Fernandez who just could not gather the pace to catch him.

<p>WWE superstar Seth Rollins had an endearing as well as wholesome interaction with a young WWE fan during Monday night RAW.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Visionary or Messiah, as some fans call him, walked around the ring to the barricade and spotted a grinning little baby sitting there. Rollins, who looked in happy spirits despite a gruelling day at the office, approached the baby and started playing with him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rollins, who has a two-year-old daughter Roux with his wife and fellow star Becky Lynch looked surprised that the little kid managed to stay awake throughout the show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Oh my goodness you stayed up all night. I can't believe it, man," Rollins could be heard saying in the BTS clip.&nbsp;</p>
