Pep Guardiola admits the buck stops with him as Manchester City bid to arrest their dramatic slump in form. The champions crashed to a fifth straight defeat in all competitions – something not experienced by the club in more than 18 years – as they were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The loss, which was also a third in succession in the Premier League and shattered a 52-game unbeaten home run, damaged the club’s hopes of winning an unprecedented fifth title in a row. It is the worst run of Guardiola’s glittering managerial career and the City boss, who extended his contract until 2027 last week, is determined to turn the situation around. The Catalan said: “When we start to lose I say to the people I have to find a way, I have to. It’s my duty, my responsibility, to find a way to be more consistent, that our game will be better and win games. “This is what we have to do.” City have been hampered by injuries to key players in recent weeks, particularly by the absence of Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri, who has been sidelined for the remainder of the season. Problems have emerged at both ends of the field with a lack of clean sheets – just five in 19 outings this term – and a shortage of goals being scored on occasions, like Saturday, when the prolific Erling Haaland has an off-day. Guardiola said: “We don’t expect to lose important players but it’s happened and you have to find a way. We have to find other abilities. “I don’t think we didn’t create enough chances. We created a lot of chances, clear ones at 0-0, 0-1, 0-2. “Of course we want a lot of players to score but it’s happened now. “I know at the Etihad when we are there and we score goals our momentum is there, but now we are not solid enough. That is the truth. “In both sides normally we are solid but we concede the goals. Now in both sides we are not good enough. “In these situations, what do you have do to? Keep going my friends, keep going. “We have done it in the past – not in terms of results being as bad as now – but we have done it and we face the situation and move forward.”Middle East latest: Israel expels patients from a hospital in Gaza

Elon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreamsLAS VEGAS (AP) — A team that previously boycotted at least one match against the San Jose State women's volleyball program will again be faced with the decision whether to play the school , this time in the Mountain West Conference semifinals with a shot at the NCAA Tournament on the line. Five schools forfeited matches in the regular season against San Jose State, which carried a No. 2 seed into the conference tournament in Las Vegas. Among those schools: No. 3 Utah State and No. 6 Boise State, who will face off Wednesday with the winner scheduled to play the Spartans in the semifinals on Friday. Wyoming, Nevada and Southern Utah — which is not a Mountain West member — also canceled regular-season matches, all without explicitly saying why they were forfeiting. Nevada players cited fairness in women’s sports as a reason to boycott their match, while political figures from Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Nevada suggested the cancellations center around protecting women’s sports. In a lawsuit filed against the NCAA , plaintiffs cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State volleyball team, even naming her. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity and through school officials has declined an interview request. A judge on Monday rejected a request made by nine current conference players to block the San Jose State player from competing in the tournament on grounds that she is transgender. That ruling was upheld Tuesday by an appeals court. “The team looks forward to starting Mountain West Conference tournament competition on Friday,” San Jose State said in a statement issued after the appeals court decision. “The university maintains an unwavering commitment to the participation, safety and privacy of all students at San Jose State and ensuring they are able to compete in an inclusive, fair and respectful environment.” Chris Kutz, a Boise State athletics spokesman, said in an email the university would not “comment on potential matchups at this time.” Story continues below video Doug Hoffman, an Aggies athletics spokesman, said in an email Utah State is reviewing the court’s order. “Right now, our women’s volleyball program is focused on the game this Wednesday, and we’ll be cheering them on,” Hoffman wrote. San Jose State, which had a first-round bye, would be sent directly to the conference title game if Utah State or Boise State were to forfeit again. If the Spartans make the title game, it's likely the opponent would not forfeit. They would face top-seeded Colorado State, No. 4 Fresno State or No. 5 San Diego State — all teams that played the Spartans this season. The conference champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Nordstrom to be acquired by Nordstrom family, Mexican retail group in $6.25 billion dealThere is about to be an outbreak of lawfulness in the United States, and Democrats and the press can’t handle it. President-elect Donald Trump’s talk of “mass deportation” i s being treated as a clear and present danger to the American order that blue jurisdictions need to mobilize to stop. Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois has vowed, “I am going to do everything that I can to protect our undocumented immigrants.” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston talked of a lurid fantasy where there’d be a “Tiananmen Square moment,” with the Denver police and civilian population confronting federal immigration authorities. He subsequently admitted that invoking a historic massacre wasn’t so apt. He still says he’s willing to go to jail to oppose anything that is “illegal or immoral or un-American.” How about something that is mandated by law? Deportation is explicitly authorized in federal statute and is a legitimate, necessary tool of immigration enforcement. It is a symptom of how perverse the immigration debate has become that it is treated as the norm to allow millions of people to defy our laws, but it’s a five-alarm fire if an incoming US president vows to get serious about enforcing those same laws. If mass deportation is a hateful notion for Trump’s opponents, maybe the Biden administration shouldn’t have allowed a mass illegal influx. Given the scale of the problem that he is seeking to address, Trump’s rhetoric is appropriately extravagant. It makes sense, though, to think of his impending deportation program as broadly consistent with enforcement as it existed in the decades prior to Joe Biden’s presidency. As Andrew Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies points out, 316,000 aliens were removed or returned in fiscal year 2014 under President Barack Obama before collapsing to 28,000 in fiscal year 2022 under President Biden. It wasn’t until toward the end of his presidency that Obama began to restrict ICE, while Biden set out to kneecap interior enforcement at the outset. He created a host of new rules to protect aliens from enforcement action and defined swathes of cities off limits to ICE. Clearly with an eye to the election, the administration bumped up removals and returns to more than 200,000 in fiscal year 2024. If Biden could increase deportations several times over without unleashing the immigration gestapo, why can’t Trump also increase them several times over without creating a dystopia? As a practical matter, there’s a limit to what can be done. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations has only about 6,000 officers. Even with all the political backing in the world, they aren’t going to be able to find and deport the roughly 8 million illegal aliens admitted under Biden. Realizing this, Trump’s choice as border czar, Tom Homan, says his first priority will be removing criminal aliens and national-security threats. This is what Trump did the first time around — the majority of arrests in the first administration were of aliens with criminal records or pending charges. The next logical priority would be to target the 1.3 million aliens who have already been ordered deported but are still in the country. Will Gov. Pritzker also seek to protect “his” undocumented immigrants who are defying explicit court orders? Trump talks of the military assisting in mass deportations, which his critics assume will involve the 101st going door-to-door in Los Angeles. Actually, the military has already been involved in various forms of logistical support of immigration enforcement. Surely, this will be the nature of its role again. Despite all the fear-mongering about it, most people know that Trump’s deportation program is a response to a crisis that wasn’t of his making and that the vast majority of people never wanted. In a new CBS News Poll, 57% of people say that they support Trump starting a program to deport all illegal immigrants in the United States. Unlike Trump’s enemies, the public doesn’t fear enforcement of immigration laws that have been systematically ignored for much too long. Twitter: @RichLowry
