WWII bomb forces mass evacuation in central Berlin.

German police began evacuating thousands of people around Berlin's central railway station on Friday, as bomb disposal experts prepare to move in to defuse an unexploded World War II explosive unearthed on a building site. Trains, trams and buses were halted or rerouted as police using a van-mounted loud-hailer announced the operation to dispose of the British 500-kilogramme (1,100-pound) bomb found more than 70 years after the war.

Arriving from Leipzig on a day trip to Berlin, Japanese tourist Yamamoto looked bewildered as he was told of the operation at the railway station. "We didn't know anything about the bomb," he told AFP. The exclusion zone covers the train station, an army hospital, the economy ministry, an art gallery and a mus

Pochettino has still not proven Man Utd were wrong to appoint Mourinho.

The Argentine was in the running for the job before Jose took charge, but without a trophy at Spurs he still needs to show his true potential When the Manchester United board were discussing the possibility of sacking Louis van Gaal and offering Jose Mourinho the Dutchman’s job as manager, there were many people promoting the idea of approaching Mauricio Pochettino as an alternative. Indeed, this correspondent was one of those believing the Argentine to be a closer fit to what a United manager should be . Towards the summer of 2016, Pochettino had got Tottenham playing an expressive brand of football based around the abilities of young, local talents and complemented by signings who were as savvy as they were silky. Spurs were about to finish third in the Premier League and, while it felt like a disappointment to some having spent much of the run-in challenging eventual champions Leicester City, that was the best placement for the club since finishing second in 1963 during

Who Could Win Manchester City's Player of the Season Award?

You could name a full - and strong - starting XI of City players who have enjoyed the best campaigns of their careers, but who makes our top three? Given five Manchester City players made the official PFA Team of the Year and several others can feel unfortunate not to be included, it is almost impossible to narrow down the Premier League champions' best performers to just three. Well, it would be easy to go with the three that have also been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award, but that would be too easy. The vast majority of Pep Guardiola's squad have had impressive seasons, which obviously helps to explain their record-breaking campaign and their huge points lead at the top of the table.
