By Reuters Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey struck inside the first minute and Morgan Rogers added a second-half goal to secure a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur and lift their side into the FA Cup fifth round for the first time in 10 years on Sunday at Villa Park.

Speechless Muslic hails Plymouth after stunning FA Cup victory over Liverpool
By Reuters Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslic was lost for words after his struggling second-tier side knocked out Premier League leaders Liverpool from the FA Cup fourth round with a 1-0 win on Sunday.

It’s a big moment, day for us,” Muslic told ITV. “Another chapter in Argyle’s history. […]

Court expected to decide on Ssemakadde arrest warrant
The Buganda Road Magistrates Court will decide on Monday whether to issue an arrest warrant for Isaac Kimaze Ssemakadde, president of the Uganda Law Society. Two lawyers, Tonny Tumukunde and Joshua Byamazima, requested the warrant after Ssemakadde failed to appear in court to face charges of insulting the modesty of a woman, specifically the Director of Public Prosecutions, Justice Jane Frances Abodo. The charges stem from derogatory comments Ssemakadde allegedly made about Justice Abodo during a symposium on November 18, 2024. These comments were widely shared on social media, leading to a private prosecution against Ssemakadde in December 2024. Ssemakadde’s lawyers are objecting to the warrant, arguing that their client is effectively present in court through their representation. Chief Magistrate […]
