Wilfred Zaha  It was gathered that the Toffees have been rebuffed in their attempts to sign the Ivory Coast international, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal this summer.  Zaha, 26, admitted in an interview back in April that he was seeking a move away from Selhurst Park in order to play in the Champions League.  However, that wish looks unlikely to materialise with both of the sides who have expressed an interest in signing him not featuring in that competition in the upcoming season. The former Manchester United man is believed to want to remain to London, however Arsenal are unlikely to continue to pursue a deal for Zaha as they close in on a £72m deal for Lille forward Nicolas Pepe.  Everton believed this would give them a clear pathway to get a deal over the line for Zaha, but they will have to increase their offer to stand any chance of getting their man.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo — sometimes described as “the most accurate Apple   analyst in the world” — has written a new note to investors saying that the three iPhones expected to launch in 2020 will feature support for 5G. In previous Kuo reports, it’s said the 2020 iPhones could be available in new sizes: 5.4 and 6.7-inch high-end iPhones with OLED displays, along with a 6.1-inch model with an OLED display. Previously, he predicted that  only two  of the three new iPhones slated for 2020 would support 5G. But with well-spec’d Androids flooding the market, he says it looks like Apple will offer 5G in all models in order to better compete. He’s also confirmed the view that Apple will be able to throw more resources into developing the 5G iPhone now that it has acquired Intel's smartphone   modem chip business. The report expects all three 2020 iPhone models to support both mmWave and Sub-6GHz spectrum (two different kinds of 5G) for the U.S. market. W...

Sylvester Stallone is “furious” he has such a small financial stake in the Rocky film franchise. The actor has earned millions from his eight Rocky Balboa-linked films, including the recent  Creed  and  Creed II  spin-offs, but he is still sore over the money he isn’t getting. While negotiating the contract for the original 1976 film, Rocky which he wrote and starred in, he lost out on equity in the entire franchise, which would have made him a part-owner of all features in the series. “I have zero ownership of Rocky,” Stallone said. “Every word, every syllable, every grammatical error (in the contract) was all my fault. It was shocking that it never came to be, but I was told, ‘Hey, you got paid, so what are you complaining about?’ I was furious.” Stallone has never been able to forgive himself for the lack of business savvy and naivete he had at the start of his career, which cost him a stake in the Rocky fortune, but he adds, “You don’t wa...

Portuguese and Juventus Football star Cristiano Ronaldo will not face charges after being accused of sexual assault, US prosecutors say. Kathryn Mayorga, 34, had alleged that the Juventus player raped her at a Las Vegas hotel in 2009.  She reportedly reached an out-of-court settlement with the Portuguese star in 2010, but sought to reopen the case in 2018. He denied the allegations.  In a statement on Monday, Las Vegas prosecutors said the claims could not "be proven beyond reasonable doubt". The Clark County District Attorney's office said the victim reported an assault in 2009, but refused to state where it had happened or who the attacker was. As a result police were unable "to conduct any meaningful investigation".  In August 2018, Las Vegas police investigated the alleged crime again at the request of the victim. But the statement added: "Based upon a review of information at this time, the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ro...

Boeing will take a roughly $5 billion hit this quarter because of the 737 Max crisis. The company said on Thursday that it will record a $4.9 billion after-tax charge in the second quarter "in connection with an estimate of potential concessions and other considerations to customers for disruptions related to the 737 Max grounding and associated delivery delays." The charge amounts to $8.47 a share. Shares of Boeing rose about 2% in after-hours trading. The company reports second quarter earnings next week. The reduction comes to about $5.6 billion in revenue and earnings before taxes. But that is only part of the cost of the crisis to the aircraft maker. Boeing said its cost of building the plane increased by an estimated $1.7 billion, as it cut back on the pace of the production during the grounding. But that cost will be included in its operating results and not broken out as a special charge. Thursday's announcement also does not mention anything about p...
