LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) - Jamal Musiala came off the bench to score one goal and make another as Bayern Munich beat RB Leipzig 4-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The visitors were awarded a penalty in the 12th minute when Kevin Kampl was found to have handled the ball after a VAR review. Robert Lewandowski made no mistake from the spot, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and firing the ball low to the right. Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer reduced the deficit in the 58th minute, firing a thunderbolt into the top right corner from well outside the area to reignite the home crowd. The win lifts Bayern to second place in the Bundesliga standings on 10 points after four games, two behind leaders VfL Wolfsburg.

Arsenal missed several chances in the closing stages as Krul parried shots by Aubameyang and substitute Emile Smith-Rowe before Bukayo Saka fired inches wide of the far post.

She’d gone days without power, and Ida had caused roof leaks and fence damage. But even with the horror stories of Katrina, Blunt said, Ida has been worse for her.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The UN special envoy for Libya warned Friday that failure to hold presidential and parliamentary elections on December 24 could renew division and conflict and thwart efforts to unite the oil-rich North African nation after a decade of turmoil. Kubis said the House of Representatives adopted the presidential electoral law, and he was told it is in the process of finalizing the electoral law for parliamentary elections. He said the High Council of State, an executive institution that among other duties proposes electoral laws, complained that the presidential electoral law was adopted without consulting its members. “The country and its people need a full clarity that the elections are going to happen on Dec. 24,” Kubis said in a video briefing.
