“The account owner will be required to remove the Tweet before they can Tweet again.”A video of Trump making the claim during a Fox News interview was earlier removed from Facebook in the first action aimed at the president’s page by the leading social network.The @TeamTrump account was posting again shortly after Twitter’s announcement, and the contested video clip appeared to have been removed.”Silicon Valley is hopelessly biased against the president and only enforces the rules in one direction,” the campaign’s director of communications Tim Murtaugh wrote, in a reaction to the temporary ban that was retweeted by @TeamTrump. Topics : Twitter on Wednesday said it had temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s official campaign account from tweeting due to a post containing misinformation about COVID-19.At issue in the post by the @TeamTrump account was a claim by the US president that children are “almost immune” to the novel coronavirus.The tweet “is in violation of the Twitter rules on COVID-19 misinformation,” a spokesperson for the San Francisco-based service told AFP.
How likely children are to contract or spread the coronavirus has become a deeply contentious issue in the US, with reopening schools essential to enabling many parents to go back to work.Trump has been calling for both businesses and schools to reopen as part of a push to revive the US economy, whose health will play a major factor in the coming presidential election.But a growing number of US school districts have opted against reopening classrooms come September, opting to remain online-only until the pandemic has abated.
Wright says it’s vital that Arsenal keep Aubameyang (Picture: DAZN)‘I think from the time Mike’s come in in the middle of the season like he did he’s done fantastically up to this point,’ Wright told DAZN.‘Arsenal are further from the European spots than you’d like but I think at the moment it’s a massive work in progress. ‘There’s not a lot of money so it will come down to his coaching acumen and what he can do. Once he signs certain players, once [William] Saliba comes across, I think we can judge Arsenal and we’re they’re going.‘People like Aubameyang we need that sorted out. Saka, sort that out. Luiz? Is he staying?‘What needs to happen he needed to get to a situation where they’re solid at the back and the midfield start operating because they’re not doing anywhere near as much as they should be doing and if there wasn’t an Aubameyang, I don’t know where Arsenal would be without him at the minute’.AdvertisementAdvertisementMore: FootballRio Ferdinand urges Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to drop Manchester United starChelsea defender Fikayo Tomori reveals why he made U-turn over transfer deadline day moveMikel Arteta rates Thomas Partey’s chances of making his Arsenal debut vs Man CityOne thing that could help change Aubameyang’s mind is a strong end to the season in which Arsenal finish in the top four.The club are currently five points away from the Champions League qualifying spots and they take on Manchester City on Wednesday at the Etihad in their first game back since the league was suspended.MORE: Roberto Firmino ‘likes’ post about Philippe Coutinho returning to Liverpool Sean KearnsSunday 14 Jun 2020 5:16 pmShare this article via facebookShare this article via twitterShare this article via messengerShare this with Share this article via emailShare this article via flipboardCopy link166Shares Comment Arsenal can’t afford to lose Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, warns Ian Wright Advertisement Advertisement Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 12 months to run on his deal (Picture: Getty)Arsenal legend Ian Wright admits he fears for the club should Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leave this summer.The Gabon international has 12 months to run on his existing deal at the Emirates and negotiations over an extension have proved unsuccessful.

A wonder goal from Jonjo Shelvey fired Swansea on their way to a comfortable 4-1 win over Aston Villa that all but secures their Barclays Premier League place for next season. The midfielder lobbed Brad Guzan with a stunning 45-yard volley that sent the Liberty Stadium crowd into delirium. After Wilfried Bony opened the scoring, Gabriel Agbonlahor levelled for the visitors before Shelvey’s strike made it 2-1. Swansea dominated the second half and were rewarded through Pablo Hernandez’s goal and Bony’s injury-time penalty. Press Association If Norwich fail to beat Manchester United this evening, Swansea are safe barring miracles from Cardiff or Sunderland. Villa, meanwhile, are now without a win in six matches and only four points above the relegation zone with a tough run-in. Despite his team’s dismal form, Villa boss Paul Lambert named an unchanged side from the one that drew 0-0 with Southampton last week. Swansea’s interim manager Garry Monk also stood by his starting XI, and with good reason. The players who toppled Newcastle last weekend rewarded him with the club’s first back-to-back league wins in 58 games. Six minutes in, both sets of fans stood and applauded for former Swansea midfielder Ferrie Bodde, who was in an induced coma after suffering pneumonia. Little did they know he had come out of that state and was watching the game from his Dutch hospital bed. The Swans may have been without last season’s top scorer Michu – out once again with an injured ankle – but this term’s most potent marksman Bony did not need long to put his side in front. The Ivorian opened the scoring in the 10th minute when he latched on to a through-ball from Shelvey that pierced Villa’s high defensive line. Centre-back Nathan Baker appealed for offside, but the flag stayed down and Bony side-footed past Guzan with ease to bag his 14th league goal of the season. Villa enjoyed decent possession in the first quarter but were restricted to long-range efforts from Agbonlahor and Marc Albrighton, neither of whom could test Michel Vorm. In the 22nd minute the deserved equaliser came thanks to some slick football down the right. Karim El Ahmadi slipped the ball down the flank to the overlapping Albrighton, whose curling cross was met by Agbonlahor from close range giving Vorm no chance. The goal ended a Premier League drought of three hours and 42 minutes for Lambert’s charges. A wondrous strike from Shelvey put the Swans back in front three minutes later. After chesting down Villa captain Ron Vlaar’s clearance, he hit a missile of a volley from 45 yards that cleared the unsuspecting Guzan and curled into the top corner. Bony tested Guzan with a low-shot from 20 yards, but the American had it covered. Swansea left-back Ben Davies forced a save after the break when he fired in a left-footer and Shelvey also tested the busy Villa keeper with a low drive. Jonathan De Guzman should have extended Swansea’s lead when he shanked the ball wide from a Wayne Routledge cross on the hour. Monk’s side continued to probe and press and were rewarded for their dominance when Hernandez made it 3-1. The Spaniard was free at the back post when Shelvey crossed, cut in field and scored via the head of Ryan Betrand, who was back defending the goal line. Villa rarely threatened the home goal in the second half and their misery was compounded in stoppage time when Baker pushed substitute Marvin Emnes in the back and conceded a penalty. The result from goal-hungry Bony – his 15th league strike – was never in doubt. 
West Ham beat Leicester 2-0 on Saturday to ensure they will be fourth on Christmas Day in their best start since the 1985-86 season, when they ended up finishing third. Matches at Chelsea and Arsenal in the space of three days will be a fierce examination of a rejuvenated West Ham, who were accused by Mourinho of playing defensive “football from the 19th century” when drawing 0-0 at Stamford Bridge at the start of the year. When West Ham visited Chelsea in January it was a turning point in their fight for Barclays Premier League survival – now Sam Allardyce has warned Jose Mourinho: “We’ll see what century we’re in.” “The turning point – why West Ham United stayed in the division eventually – was the draw at Chelsea,” Allardyce said. “That’s how important it was. It gave the lads a huge confidence boost and huge belief that they could hold a team like Chelsea off. “We went from there on to make ourselves safe in the league. “We’ll see what century we’re in when we finish there (on Boxing Day). “It’s a nice time, I think, for us to be playing Chelsea and Arsenal. “We can go there and see if we can go and challenge ourselves against two of the big boys in this league. “If we don’t, it’s not going to be too much of a knock back for us, because we know we can catch it up by beating teams who are below us, like Leicester.” Stewart Downing, playing at the tip of a midfield diamond, has been key to the Hammers’ best Premier League start. “He’s probably playing his best football ever at the moment,” Allardyce said. “It took a bit of persuading to get him here from Liverpool (in August 2013). It really was a dream move for him that didn’t work quite as well as he would’ve liked. “He’s come here and started showing great class and great ability.” Allardyce confirmed West Ham are aiming to sign Canadian defender Doneil Henry, who is under contract with Cyprus’ Apollon Limassol. Henry was recommended by Ryan Nelsen, who played under Allardyce at Blackburn and managed the defender at Toronto. “When you get the recommendation of somebody you respect like Ryan Nelsen you don’t ignore that advice,” Allardyce said. “We’re looking at that, but that’s a tribunal and work permit situation which will happen next week.” Allardyce is optimistic and so too is Leicester boss Nigel Pearson, despite the odds being stacked against his side. Only twice before – West Brom in 2004-2005 and Sunderland last season – have the side at the foot of the Premier League standings on Christmas Day avoided relegation. Pearson was assistant to Baggies boss Bryan Robson 10 years ago and believes his Foxes squad have the required character. “There are similarities,” he said. “You do need people who are capable of dealing with adversity and have the strength of character and inner belief. “I can honestly say I look round the dressing room and I’ve not seen anybody who has given in to our current circumstances. I think that’s a real positive for us. “(But) you can’t continue to be in the type of run that we’re in and bluster your way out of it by trying to sell the idea that everything’s rosy in the garden. “We are capable of turning it around. Clearly we’ve got to start winning games pretty quickly.” Pearson was fined £10,000 and given a one-match touchline ban following his altercation with a fan during last month’s loss to Liverpool. He often watches from the stand anyway, but perhaps mischievously was on the touchline at Upton Park as he awaits the full disciplinary process to be completed. “I felt like it. I gave myself a directors’ box one-match ban,” Pearson added. “I enjoy being in the stands because I get a good view; from a technical perspective you see things a lot better. “Sometimes it’s important to be visible, but ultimately I’ll continue to do what I feel is right for the players.” Press Association
Hostile Fire ran out a deserved winner of the Online Discounts At fairyhouse.ie Maiden Hurdle at the County Meath track. Elliott said: “He travelled like a nice horse. He’ll probably go for the Fred Winter now at Cheltenham, that’s the plan. He’s had three runs now. “I’d say that wasn’t a great race, but he won. Davy said he was very keen with the wind behind him.” Gordon Elliott’s charge was second on his previous two attempts over timber, but the 3-1 chance was always travelling powerfully for Davy Condon, pulling himself into the lead on the home turn. Favourite Zafayan tried to get on terms approaching the last, but Hostile Fire held his advantage and ran on to score by three lengths.

In his autobiography, which is being serialised by the Daily Mail, the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder wrote: “It was clear that, tactically, he could set up his team to win any football match… because he was a pure winner. But, more than that, he created a special bond with each squad he managed. “You heard it in the way his players spoke about him. You saw it in the way they played for him. “For me, the ideal situation would obviously have been for Mourinho to have managed Liverpool. He was linked with a move to Anfield a couple of times but it never materialised. I know I’m biased, but I think it would have been a perfect match. “The Liverpool fans would have loved him and he would have known exactly how to turn that love into adoration. He always told me about his deep respect for our supporters. Jose would have had a fantastic time bringing huge success to Liverpool.” Gerrard also believes Mourinho would have got the best out of England’s golden generation, which suffered quarter-final exits at the 2002 and 2006 World Cups as well as Euro 2004 under Sven-Goran Eriksson. “If Jose Mourinho had managed England in 2004 and 2006 I’m convinced we could have reached at least one major final,” added the 35-year-old. “Imagine what he could have got out of a group that included (David) Beckham, (Paul) Scholes, (Michael) Owen, (John) Terry, (Gary) Neville, (Wayne) Rooney, (Sol) Campbell, (Rio) Ferdinand, (Frank) Lampard, (Ashley) Cole, Gerrard and a few others.” The Blues lost 3-1 at Everton in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off and have just four points to show from their opening five matches in the Barclays Premier League – their worst start to a top-flight campaign since 1986. But Gerrard, who was linked with a move to Chelsea in Jose Mourinho’s first tenure at Stamford Bridge, believes the 52-year-old is a high-quality manager and would have relished the opportunity to work under him at Merseyside.

Jose Mourinho may be enduring one of his worst periods as Chelsea boss but he has a firm fan in former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, who believes the Portuguese would have excelled with the Reds or even England.
