United have won 25 points in nine league matches under Solskjaer - just a point less than Mourinho managed over the opening 17 games of the season. |
Quizzed on the change of mindset, Jones said: "Yeah, just a positivity about the place to grind results out when we're not playing well, to play forward, to play with intent and purpose and that's exactly what we're going. |
"You can see it in every game. We're creating a number of chances and putting them away. It was tough for everyone involved (at the start of the season). |
"Everyone at the club, the supporters, everyone. But it's about becoming stronger and seeing that through. I think we have done. |
"I've said in the past, we've not achieved anything yet. We're under no illusions of that but we're heading in the right direction." |
Jones' excitement at the future was clear after signing a new deal until 2023, with the option of a further year, on the eve of the Fulham game - an extension that some fans expressed disappointment about. |
"Listen, I don't lose sleep over what people say about me," the England international said. "It's football. I'm going to get criticism in the future, I'm going to get criticism in the past. Honestly, I generally don't care. |
"I have a wonderful family, wonderful friends. I play football for Man United and I've been given an extra contract and I'm grateful for that and thankful for that. It's great." |
"If I'm being brutally honest, not really at all," the centre-back said. "Since I've come to the club, we've signed players left, right and centre: forwards, defenders, goalkeepers. |
"Listen, we're Man United, of course we're interested in the best players in the world. I'd be pretty amazed if we weren't, so yeah, it's great." |
Chrissy Teigen expressed her approval of the perceived slight. |
Melania and Donald Trump arrived in Tel Aviv on Monday as the president continues his first trip abroad. |
They were walking off Air Force One when Donald reached his hand back in what appeared like an attempt to hold the first lady's hand. In a video released of the moment, it looks like Melania swats his hand away, refusing to hold it. |
The perceived slight caused an uproar on Twitter, as social media users mocked Trump for the nature of his relationship with his wife. Chrissy Teigen tweeted out a video of the moment saying, "I kinda dig how much she hates him." |
A day later when Melania and Donald arrived in Rome, another moment between the president and First Lady sparked interest and speculation on social media. On camera, Donald reaches out for his wife's hand once again but she swiftly moves it up to fix her hair. It's unclear, however, if she knew he was reaching for it i... |
However, while touring Vatican City the two clutched hands tightly. |
Obama's White House photographer Pete Souza, who has been using his Instagram account to not-so-subtly troll Trump, posted a photo of then-President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama holding hands at an event in Selma. |
LONDON • It is too soon to start searching for silver linings to Chelsea's campaign and it would be a mistake, according to Jose Mourinho, for the club to prioritise success in Europe over the defence of their Premier League title. |
Indeed, far from narrowing horizons, the Chelsea manager believes that his team can win four trophies this season. |
All things are possible, he insisted, despite an insipid start in which Chelsea have taken 11 points from nine games and lost to Porto in the Champions League. |
"We can win all four, we can lose all four," the Chelsea manager said, with his side still in the League Cup and FA Cup as well. "We are in October. Everything is open." |
Of course I'm entitled to (one bad season). There are guys who have one good season out of 20. Some of them (have) not even one good (season). |
Chelsea won the Champions League in 2012 under the guidance of Roberto di Matteo after a disappointing Premier League campaign which saw them finish sixth. |
But Mourinho disputes that the club made European success a priority three years ago. |
"Chelsea were struggling to try to finish top four and never prioritised. Never. It happened in that season because it happened. Not because Chelsea prioritised," said the Portuguese before yesterday's Champions League game against Dynamo Kiev. |
"When you prioritise in this league you have a big risk, which is the risk of not winning the Champions League and (not) finishing top four and not playing Champions League the next season. |
"So we cannot prioritise in this league. We have to go all the way and make sure we finish top four." |
By his high standards, a top-four finish is not good enough. But the 52-year-old Portuguese believes he is entitled to one bad season. |
He pointed to the 22 major titles he has won in 15 years of management as evidence of "too much" success. And this success, he said, has led to "envy", which is why some are happy that he has overseen the Blues' worst start in 37 years. |
"I learn to be happy with the happiness of the others," he told the Irish Times. "But I repeat, it's a moment. It's not a moment that will last for a long time. |
"Of course I'm entitled to (one bad season). There are guys who have one good season out of 20. Some of them (have) not even one good (season). I'm entitled. I don't need to prove (anything)." |
Mourinho delivered a third Premier League title last season, and claimed that modern football's short-sightedness is to blame for the unprecedented pressure he is under now. |
"When I am in a great moment, it looks like nothing's happened," he grumbled. |
"When I am in a bad moment, I pay for this a little bit. |
He certainly has a poor relationship with the Football Association. And on Monday evening, the FA published the written reasons for fining him £50,000 (S$107,000) and handing him a suspended one-match stadium ban for suggesting referees were afraid to award decisions in Chelsea's favour. |
Mourinho has now been hit with fines worth a combined £101,000 in a little over two seasons. |
"It appears to us that increasing levels of fine are not on their own going to be a reliable deterrent for Mr Mourinho against improper comments to the media," the FA said. |
Mourinho is appealing against the punishment. |

Every country suffers from corruption, but not every country is a kleptocracy. Kleptocracy, or “rule by thieves,” arises when a country’s elite begin to systematically steal from public funds on a vast scale. They do so by undermining democracy and the legal system, gaining control over vital economic assets (usually t... |
Kleptocracies exist mostly in the developing world. |
The word “kleptocracy” often conjures Cold War imagery of despotic tyrants in poor, faraway places. And it is true that many of the world’s most corrupt countries are in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. |
But a kleptocracy is no longer a corrupt political system in a few poor nations: It is a sophisticated global network whose members include world leaders and powerful business people. Kleptocrats send money around the world with the click of a button, aided by unscrupulous professionals with the expertise to launder it... |
Some of the money is hidden right here. As the driving force behind global economic reform for the past three decades, the United States has played an important role in the rise of the globalized kleptocrat. America has become one of the leading secrecy jurisdictions . Delaware, South Dakota, Wyoming and other states d... |
U.S. real estate then provides an attractive conduit for securing and legitimizing the laundered funds. A New York Times investigation revealed that, of the properties purchased for more than $5 million in Manhattan in 2014, more than half were bought by anonymous companies that disguised the buyers’ identities. |
Today, some of the most powerful countries in the world are kleptocracies. Russia, for example, currently seems to be dictating global affairs. China, another classic, is the second-largest economy in the world. |
Kleptocracy doesn’t necessarily make governments weak. But the skewed priorities of greedy autocratic rulers and the looting of resources that should be used for public services mean that the countries are much weaker than they should be. Russia, for instance, can’t afford to honor its obligations to impoverished pensi... |
A 2016 report showed that developing countries collectively had lost $16.3 trillion to illicit leakages since 1980. While their people struggled, starved and died, exported corruption effectively made these governments net creditors to the world economy. In such circumstances, it is hardly surprising that people begin ... |
The United States is already a kleptocracy. |
Few would argue that corruption doesn’t exist in the United States, but fewer seriously believe that it is the sole purpose of their government. Unlike the average Russian, Americans haven’t watched their president’s friends loot 5 percent of GDP in the past decade. Unlike one-quarter of Ukrainians, the average America... |

American institutions will shield us from kleptocracy. |
In the wake of Trump’s election, major news outlets ran pieces on what U.S. institutions could do to protect the country from collapse. Vox told readers, “It’s now on America’s institutions — and the Republican Party — to check Donald Trump.” Slate argued that professional bureaucrats could slow Trump’s progress. Writi... |
Unfortunately, key political, financial and cultural institutions have yet to be firewalled against new methods of interference and infiltration by bad actors. In Washington, well-remunerated K Street firms exploit weaknesses in foreign-lobbying laws to advance the interests of violent kleptocracies on the Hill (the Kr... |
We are making some progress. The Justice Department’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative has frozen $2.8 billion in 28 cases since 2010. In July, the Treasury Department announced geographic targeting orders that make it impossible to complete anonymous all-cash purchases of high-value real estate in New York, Miami... |
Donald Trump is setting himself up to rule as a kleptocrat. |
Ultimately, only Trump knows what his plans for the highest office are. But U.S. constitutional safeguards and institutions are significantly more robust than those in countries where corruption has taken over. If Trump really wants to establish a kleptocracy, there are easier countries to do it in. |

It has been four years since hackers stole personal information from 22 million people through the Office of Personnel Management, and only now are we seeing concrete evidence that the data is being used in financial crimes. |
A woman admitted in federal court this week that she used the identities of OPM breach victims to take out fraudulent loans through a federal credit union, as my colleague Rachel Weiner and I reported. It appears to be the first criminal case involving OPM data that the Justice Department has publicly disclosed. |
The revelation could give new momentum to legislation seeking to provide better protection to the federal employees, retirees and others whose personal information was stolen from two government databases in 2014, and spur lawmakers to consider broader safeguards for victims of similar compromises. |
According to court records, the woman was part of a group that used OPM data to take out car and personal loans at Langley Federal Credit Union in the names of the victims, then cashed loan checks or got wire transfers from the accounts they set up. She pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Virginia to conspiracy t... |
Ruppersberger’s legislation, called the Recover Act, would apply to any current, former and prospective OPM employees whose data was compromised in the breach. Currently, OPM is required to offer identity theft protection coverage only through 2026. |
That's clearly not enough, said Ruppersberger, who introduced the bill last month with Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D. C.). |
Chris Wysopal, chief technology officer at the cybersecurity firm CA Veracode, agreed that at the very least the victims would need lifetime credit monitoring “given the long tail” of the OPM hack. The hackers stole troves of personal information with “about as rich of a data record as you can get,” Wysopal said. |
The huge heist included information such as Social Security numbers and past addresses, but also security-clearance files containing extensive details about friends, family, relationships and finances for a range of highly sensitive government jobs. U.S. officials have linked the hack to China — though they haven't for... |
How exactly the identity thieves got ahold of OPM information isn’t clear. According to court records, one of the people whose identity was stolen told investigators his or her personal information had been compromised in the hack on OPM, but a spokesman for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ... |
Wysopal said it was unlikely that the people charged in the case had anything to do with the original OPM breach. He said the data could have surfaced in marketplaces on the “Dark Web,” where criminals could have purchased it for as little as $20 to $30. |
No matter how they got it, the type of information stolen in the breach can’t be easily changed, giving it long-term value to a thief, said Jamie Winterton, a data breach expert and director of strategy for Arizona State University’s Global Security Initiative. |
Right now, Winterton notes the burden of identity theft protection is on the victims of major breaches, including OPM and the massive hack on the credit-monitoring agency Equifax last year. While OPM, for instance, has offered victims a suite of protective services, including free credit monitoring, victims have been a... |
PINGED: Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) want to avoid a rerun of the Kaspersky Lab and ZTE scares. The two senators on Tuesday introduced a bipartisan bill that would create a Federal Acquisition Security Council tasked with giving federal agencies information about supply-chain risks for fe... |
“The nation continues to work to protect our cybersecurity, and we need to have a system in place that will allow us to address risks before it becomes an issue nationwide,” Lankford said in a statement. “This bipartisan bill will help to clarify each government agencies’ role and responsibility and protect the federal... |
Under the bill, titled Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018, intelligence agencies and the Pentagon would share information with civilian agencies about technology issues that could pose a security risk. “We can’t simply respond to supply chain threats piecemeal, we’ve got to have a system in place to ... |

The accounts, which have been suspended by Twitter, posted divisive messages on issues such as actress Roseanne Barr's racist rants or Donald Trump Jr.'s divorce, according to the Journal. The Russian trolls even tricked Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey. Dorsey shared at least 17 tweets from one of their accounts fr... |
