said: 'Following reports in today's national media, @placeholder can | By James Rush PUBLISHED: 06:32 EST, 9 December 2013 | UPDATED: 12:47 EST, 9 December 2013 Police investigating allegations of football spot-fixing are set to review a yellow-card tackle by a former Premier League player who is among six people arrested over the claims of illegality. Blackburn Rovers striker DJ Campbell was arrested yesterday by the National Crime Agency as part of the investigation. According to reports, officers may review the yellow card he received for a tackle committed in the first half of Blackburn's league game against Ipswich Town last Tuesday. Five people, including Campbell, have been bailed until April, and a sixth is still being questioned, the NCA has said.

"We're going to pull you out of whatever hole you're in, we're going to bring you back and let the people of @placeholder prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law." | (CNN) -- If this all shakes out the way authorities say it will, the deaths of two local prosecutors, the panic that gripped a city and a massive manhunt that ensued may all stem from the theft of some computer monitors and a disgraced lawman who held a grudge the size of Texas. The brazen shootings of a Kaufman County prosecutor in January and those of the local district attorney and his wife last month stunned the nation. An army of law enforcement officials converged on the area near Dallas. Gov. Rick Perry vowed to find the killer and doubled a $100,000 reward that had already been offered.

Afghanistan "urgently needs a new government," and the two runoff candidates must form a unity government, @placeholder said earlier this week. | Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Afghanistan has been thrown into political turmoil after a months-long dispute between two presidential candidates prevented a successor to outgoing President Hamid Karzai being named. The country's presidential election was held on April 5, and was followed by a runoff vote in June after the first result was inconclusive. The two contenders, Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani, have accused each other of fraud and manipulation. Despite pleas from Karzai and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to come to a resolution, the two opponents remain at an impasse, sparking concerns of bloodshed and instability in the fragile, war-torn country. It has significantly delayed what was to be Afghanistan's first democratic transfer of power.

Since the declaration of the air zone, China has insisted that all aircraft must submit flight plans before entering. The United States has urged calm, and this will be a theme which Biden will emphasize during his visit. The zone includes airspace over islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, which both countries claim as their own.

He has been cleared for release twice -- by both the Bush and @placeholder administrations. | London (CNN) -- U.S. President Barack Obama failed to keep his 2008 election promise to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp at a U.S. naval base in Cuba because the world had stopped watching. Europeans, delighted at his election and pledge to abandon Bush-era torture practices that had sullied the U.S. reputation worldwide, assumed that he would do what he said was going to do. It has taken three years to realise that he missed his self-imposed deadline.

It's not the first time the United States has gone in to help put an end to the marauding, murdering gang known as the Lord's Resistance Army -- LRA, for short. The LRA has butchered, enslaved and displaced people in Uganda and Central Africa for two decades. Although its brand of terrorism doesn't target the United States, Washington has listed it as a terrorist group. The U.S. decision to help go after Kony is a strategic -- as well as a humanitarian -- one. Africa is a frontier for terrorism. Uganda is fighting Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia -- which helps the United States -- so in turn, the U.S. is helping Uganda fight the LRA.

The onslaught that started the match with @placeholder is undoubtedly the way to go once more. | Maybe it is the location, something in the air. Joga bonito, and all that. Play beautifully. No country wants to come to a World Cup in Brazil, the spiritual home of football at its most compelling, and stink the place out. Again. That applies to England more than most. After a dismal experience in South Africa in 2010 and a week of predictions based around a dour, goalless draw, played at an Amazonian snail’s pace in the tropical heat, England came out of the blocks in Manaus as if set down at Anfield on a perfect autumn afternoon. Lost, obviously, but that happens in football. Sometimes you don’t get what you deserve. A fair few in the squad know all about that this season.

Councillor @placeholder said there had been internal discussions about the plaque since last week, when child abuse allegations against the former MP resurfaced. | By James Black PUBLISHED: 14:00 EST, 14 November 2012 | UPDATED: 16:59 EST, 15 November 2012 Council bosses have taken down a Rochdale town hall plaque honouring Sir Cyril Smith - as six more people came forward to allege they were abused by the former MP.

@placeholder's Thor Hushovd, who was expected to lose the yellow jersey on a tough stage in the Massif Central, upset predictions to cling on to the race lead by one second from Australian Cadel Evans. | (CNN) -- Young Portuguese rider Alberto Rui Costa was rewarded for his bravery in taking part in a long breakaway as he won the eighth stage of the Tour de France in Super-Besse Saturday. The 24-year-old was in a group which went away virtually from the start of the 189km leg from Aiguirande but still had the strength in an uphill finish to hold off the chasers. Stage one winner Belgian Philippe Gilbert burst out of a whittled down peloton containing all the main yellow jersey contenders to finish 12 seconds behind Rui Costa. As the breakaway group fragmented, Movistar's Rui Costa took advantage to pull clear, but he came under pressure from Astana's Alexandre Vinokourov who raced out of the peloton to catch all the early leaders bar the eventual winner.

diplomats, current and former Taliban, @placeholder government officials and a | By Oliver Pickup Last updated at 12:42 PM on 30th August 2011 The Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, is believed to have scuppered talks held between U.S. and Taliban officials Secret talks between representatives of the United States and the Taliban were closing in on a deal to free a kidnapped army sergeant, but were scuppered when Hamid Karzai's aides leaked information about them. Both U.S. and Afghan officials confirmed that the 54-year-old Afghan president kiboshed potential horse-trading with the Taliban, as he feared being out of the loop. Though the discussions, held in Germany and Qatar, were only at a preliminary stage, a trade which would see Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, of Hailey, Idaho, captured two years ago, was mooted.

As the owner, I am committed to creating a professional environment for all of the members of the @placeholder family." | (CNN) -- Richie Incognito considered fellow offensive lineman Jonathan Martin a "little brother," Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill said Wednesday, saying the team was caught off-guard by Martin's accusations of misconduct against his teammate. Neither player is with the team now; Martin left abruptly last week after an incident in the team cafeteria and Incognito was suspended on Sunday after Martin's representatives reportedly turned over voice mails and texts with racial slurs and threats of violence to the Dolphins and the NFL. But, while they were with the team, the two were good friends. At least in Tannehill's mind. "I think if you had asked Jon Martin a week before who his best friend on the team was, he would have said Richie Incognito," the quarterback told reporters. "The first guy to stand up for Jonathan if anything went down on the field, any kind of tussle, Richie was the first guy there. When they wanted to hang out ... outside of football, who was together: Richie and Jonathan. So I can't, I'm not in those guys' shoes. I can't explain what's going on."
