Alessia Russo and Hannah Hampton star for England in narrow win over Iceland – reaction

Published by Sam Flores

Hampton said she was just “doing her job” to try and preserve England’s slender lead. The goalkeeper told ITV Sport: “We know it’s tough. They put more bodies forward, more balls into dangerous areas, so it was nervy at the end but we got the job done.” When asked about her massive saves, she said: “It’s my job isn’t it really? Let’s be honest.  We’re in it as a team, I can’t be the one scoring goals but I can stop them, so we here we win ass a team and that’s what we pride ourselves on. “We’re a right pack, they call us, so Lessi [Alessia Russo] got a great finish at one end so I had to do my job at the other.” Hampton adds: “We would have liked to control the game a bit better than what we did, but we know that they have a lot of threat when they get momentum in their favour, a lot of balls in our box, and set pieces. We know there’s a real threat …

University of Wisconsin-Madison master’s student Cassie Semenas casts a ballot at Lowell Center residence hall in Madison, during Wisconsin’s spring election, which included a state Supreme Court contest, April 7, 2026. Joe Timmerman | Wisconsin Watch | Getty Images Democrats romped to a 20 percentage point victory in a race for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, while Republicans won a special election for a House seat in Georgia by a far less comfortable margin than in 2024. The elections Tuesday underscore strong headwinds for President Donald Trump and his Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which could shift the balance of power in Washington and loosen Trump’s grip on power. Democratic-backed Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor won a 10-year term on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, defeating conservative Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar by roughly 20 percentage points, according to the Associated Press tally. The race was far more subdued than last year’s Supreme Court contest in Wisconsin, which turned into the most expensive state supreme court race in history after Tesla owner Elon Musk injected …

Valerie Foushee holds a narrow lead over challenger Nida Allam in the Democratic primary for North Carolina’s 4th Congressional district as ballots continue to be counted. In a race seen as an early test of whether Democratic voters desire generational change within the party, Foushee holds a lead of just over 1,000 votes with 99% of results in so far, according to the Associated Press. Under state law, provisional votes will be counted in the coming days in a district that includes Durham and Chapel Hill. If the election results end up within a 1% margin, Allam could request a recount. Successfully ousting an incumbent lawmaker is often extremely difficult and rare. However, there have been recent upsets in races as some voters are calling for new leaders and several sitting members of Congress face primary challengers this cycle. Allam, a 32-year-old Durham County Commissioner, is running to the …

Ireland look in decline as questions mount for Farrell after narrow Six Nations win over Italy

Farrell preferred to accentuate the positives, noting the blooding of Edwin Edogbo and the return of Baloucoune. “The experience that some of these lads are getting is absolutely huge,” he said. “The lads that have been there and done that, they’ve been through this type of pressure and come out the other side and they’ve grown because of it. These lads that managed to do that today, to stand up tall, and that will certainly stand them in good stead. I’m delighted with the win against a very good Italian side.” There are plenty of questions piling up for Farrell. And with England away at Twickenham next weekend, they are only going to get louder.

ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and Perplexity app icons are seen on the screen of an iPhone. Picture: Shutterstock/Tada Images AI answers from OpenAI, Google and Perplexity draw on a “narrow range” of the biggest publishers when responding to news queries, according to new research from UK thinktank IPPR. Looking at Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity, the research found that on average 34% of journalistic citations on each tool go to only one newsbrand. On average the most-cited news source on each platform was four times more prominent than the next highest outlet by source links. The IPPR “AI’s Got News For You” report said: “AI creates new winners and losers, with each AI tool prioritising news brands in different ways, in each case foregrounding a distinct selection of news outlets compared with those that are currently most popular across the UK.” On Google’s AI Overviews some 41% of news links cited the BBC, its top source. The BBC was also the most-cited news source on Perplexity, where it made up 31% …
