Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo are doubts for Liverpool's clash with Arsenal. However, Liverpool will be doing everything in their power to keep that possibility alive when they take on the league leaders tonight. In the forward line, Cody Gakpo takes the left flank, with Florian Wirtz as the false nine and Jeremie Frimpong on the right.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is seeing the launch of a new community diagnostic vehicle, in a move designed to reduce the number of hospital admissions in the area. The car will carry state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, including portable X-ray, and – for the first time in the UK – equipment to conduct blood tests, urine tests and ultrasounds. “The patient will only be taken into hospital if they have a fracture or another condition that needs hospital care. This cut the number of patients being cared for in corridors and saved £1,008 for each patient not admitted to hospital. It said this could help tackle the chronic shortage of radiographers in Scotland, where vacancies in the field currently stand at 13.4% – and so help further reduce NHS waiting times for patients.

What happens when a NATO member threatens another NATO member? As a consequence, there is a definite NATO problem here, because the critical point is that Greenland is linked, absolutely, to a NATO member state and under Article 5 of the NATO treaty, an attack on one member state is an attack on all of them, and then every member state is required to come to the defence of the one that is under attack. But the situation is that no one ever envisaged when NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, was created that the attack would come from another member state, and yet that is what the USA is planning; it is planning to attack a NATO member state. Is NATO still functional if one member state is now planning an attack on another member state? The US is threatening a NATO member state.

U-turn over business rates hike for pubs expected in coming days, Sky News understandsSky News deputy political editor Sam Coates has been looking into the potential risk to the hospitality sector with upcoming business rate hikes. Sam has now heard that a rescue package that could help with this is coming in the next few days - but only for pubs. As Sam mentioned on this morning's Politics at Sam and Anne's, it poses a big political headache for the prime minister and the chancellor. The sector argues the new business rates, while lower than before COVID, do not go far enough, and they are disproportionately affected as they have physical stores, restaurants and pubs - unlike online giants. Watch this video from Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig to see why Reeves had been facing a bitter backlash from pubs.

Council members would no longer be able to put their names on taxpayer-funded ward events under a proposed policyadvanced Wednesday by the Governmental Processes Committee. Currently, ward events are marketed under the city's "Local Vibes" branding, but some council members have added their own logos to event materials. The branding consensus came as the committee debated a separate question: whether to restrict council members facing contested elections from hosting ward events for 90 days before an election. Committee members agreed to have the City Attorney's office clarify legal questions around the election restrictions before the policy returns to the full City Council. The committee also endorsed allowing council members to allocate their ward event funds to events in other wards, subject to a consent calendar vote for transparency.

Ward 1 Council Member Philip Falcone said residents "are looking forward to really igniting potential in this main entrance to Fairmount Park."

Human Rights Activists News Agency, known as HRANA, has counted 36 deaths since demonstrations intensified, identifying 34 protesters and two members of the security services among the dead.

One rights organization reported protests or street gatherings in at least 174 locations over a seven‑day period, underscoring the breadth of the unrest. The scale of killings and mass detentions raises potential violations of international human rights law and obligations to protect civilians.
