Roman Abramovich has confirmed that Chelsea is for sale, bowing to mounting pressure to end his ownership of the club. The Russian acted after a new call in parliament on Wednesday for him to face penalties for the invasion of Ukraine, and a group led by billionaires Hansjörg Wyss and Todd Boehly has already expressed interest. At least one other firm, according to sources, is planning to make a bid this week. All net revenues – assumed to be the money from any sale minus legal fees – will be spent "for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine," according to Abramovich. The first sign of interest came when Swiss billionaire Wyss said that he had been invited to join a group. The 86-year-old, who is estimated to be worth £4.3 billion, has teamed up with Boehly, a part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball franchise who is worth an estimated £5 billion. There are several additional investors involved, at least two of them are believed to be from the United States. I

At two different places, a divorced couple was found stabbed to death. The distance between them is 15 miles (24 kilometers). Police discovered the corpse of Clive Warrington, 67, at Sherborne Place in Cheltenham at 06:25 GMT. Soon after, officers discovered the death of his ex-wife, Valerie Warrington, 73, at a house in the Cotswolds' Bourton-on-the-Water. In connection with both fatalities, a man from Cheltenham has been arrested on suspicion of murder. The individual was known to the victims, according to Supt Roddy Gosden of Gloucestershire Police, and they were not seeking for anyone else at the time. He urged anyone with information to contact him. The victim's residence on Sherborne Place, where his body was discovered early this morning, is only 200 yards (182m) from John Lewis in the heart of Cheltenham. As a result, motorists weaving their way between police cordons had to be patient as they watched a dozen or so cops in red jackets searching for clues and calling on

During a briefing at the Pentagon on Wednesday, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said that US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin canceled a planned test of the Minute Man III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that was originally scheduled for this week to avoid "any actions that could be misunderstood or misconstrued" during heightened tensions with Russia. "The secretary of defense has requested that our minute man three intercontinental ballistic missile test launch slated for this week be postponed to demonstrate that we have no intention of engaging in any conduct that could be misunderstood or misconstrued," Kirby said. According to Kirby, the secretary made this decision in light of the "heightened tensions" produced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin's warning earlier this week that Russian nuclear forces were on high alert. The US military is canceling the ICBM test to "show" that it is a "re

According to a US official and a congressional source briefed on the topic, the US has sent hundreds of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine for the first time in the recent few days, including over 200 on Monday. The US granted the green light earlier this year to Baltic countries such as Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia to deliver American-made weaponry to Ukraine, including Stingers. However, until now, the Biden administration had resisted sending the Stingers directly to Ukraine, despite providing other dangerous weapons. For months, some members of Congress have pushed for more Stinger missiles to be supplied to Ukraine. On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Tony Blinken assured reporters that Ukraine can still obtain "critical defensive military equipment" that it requires. The US produces several versions of Stingers, and US officials have been careful not to provide the Ukrainians the most recent model in case they slip into the hands of Russians looking to steal US

Tiger Woods has been awarded $8 million (£5.99 million) for generating more media interest than any other golfer in 2021, despite the fact that he only competed in one tournament. Woods is the PGA Tour's first Player Impact Program winner (PIP). The program was created to reward athletes who increased interest in the American circuit. Despite not playing an official tour event in over a year, the former world number one has a lifetime earnings on the tour of more than $120 million (£89.96 million). In 2021, he only competed in an exhibition parent-child event in December. Although tour officials first said that the PIP findings would not be made public, the 10 players who benefitted were revealed in a communication to PGA Tour members. Phil Mickelson incorrectly claimed in December that he had won the largest portion of the $40 million prize pool. He came in second to Woods and was awarded $6 million. With his triumph at the US PGA last year, the 51-year-old became the oldest major
