China's defense minister says conditions along the disputed high-altitude border with India are “stable overall,” in sharp contrast with the much more pessimistic view from New Delhi BEIJING -- China’s defense minister says conditions along the tense, high-altitude border with India are “ stable overall,” in sharp contrast with the far more pessimistic view from New Delhi. The remarks from Li Shangfu came in a statement issued shortly after a meeting Thursday with his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh in New Delhi. “China and India have far more common interests than differences,” Li was quoted as saying. “At present, conditions on the China-Indian border are stable overall,” Li said. The sides should “take a long-term view, put the border issue at an appropriate place in bilateral relations, and promote the normalization of the border situation as soon as possible,” he said. In its own statement, India’s defense ministry quoted Singh as saying China had eroded the “entire basis”...

FROM STAMFORD BRIDGE - Chelsea caretaker manager Frank Lampard has empathised with frustrated fans after they were beaten 2-0 by Brentford on Wednesday, insisting he is fine with them booing his admittedly low-on-confidence players . The Blues have lost all five matches since Lampard took caretaker charge earlier in April and remain stranded in 11th place in the Premier League table. A clearly out-of-sorts Chelsea fell behind to an own goal from Cesar Azpilicueta, before Bryan Mbeumo delivered the knockout blow late in the day. Lampard was accused of 'exonerating' his players in his post-match press conference, which was a suggestion he didn't take kindly to. "Have you not watched Brentford in the last two or three seasons? Have you not seen them go and win at Manchester City earlier in the season?" Lampard retorted. "Absolutely they [the fans] worry because they're used to 20 years of success and you want it more. I've no problem with the fans boo...

American Express said its first-quarter profits fell by 13% from a year ago, despite record revenue in the quarter, as the credit card company had to set aside more than $1 billion for potentially bad loans NEW YORK -- American Express said its first-quarter profits fell by 13% from a year ago despite record quarterly revenue as the credit card company had to set aside more than $1 billion for potentially bad loans. The noticeable increase in loan loss reserves reflect the uncertain direction of where the economy is heading for many of the banks. AmEx's biggest credit card competitors also set aside money to cover potentially bad loans and have talked about how consumers are now carrying higher balances and aren't paying off their cards. The credit card giant earned a profit of $1.82 billion, or $2.40 a share. That's down from $2.1 billion, or $2.73 a share, a year earlier. The results missed analysts' forecasts of around $2.60 a share, according to FactSet. If AmEx ...

A widow is suing a cruise line, alleging that it let her husband's body decompose after he died of a heart attack FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A widow and her family are suing Celebrity Cruises for allegedly mishandling her husband's body after he died while they were on a ship last year, saying it was left to decompose and they suffered extreme emotional trauma. After Marilyn Jones' husband of 55 years, Robert Jones, died of a heart attack Aug. 15 onboard the Celebrity Equinox, his body was stored for nearly a week inside a walk-in cooler normally used for beverages instead of a properly chilled morgue as she was promised, according to the federal lawsuit filed in Florida. That left the body bloated and green, and the family was unable to have an open-coffin funeral “which was a long standing family custom and was what his family had desired," the lawsuit says. Marilyn Jones, her two daughters and three grandchildren are seeking $1 million in damages. Celebrity Cruises...

Bayern Munich have the simple task of overturning a three-goal deficit when they host Manchester City in their Champions League quarter-final second leg on Wednesday night. The Thomas Tuchel era in Bavaria has started rather inconspicuously after Bayern's ruthless top officials opted to part ways with project boss Julian Nagelsmann in favour of the 2021 Champions League winner. Their plan far exceeds the here and now in regards to the appointment, but Bayern have already exited the DFB-Pokal under Tuchel's watch and are at severe risk of being dumped out of Europe, too. Die Roten aren't too familiar with first leg deficits in the Champions League, and they'll have to pull off something quite remarkable if they're to advance into the semi-finals at City's expense. Here's a reminder of the last time Bayern overturned a first leg deficit in Europe. When was the last time Bayern Munich overturned a first leg deficit in the Champions League? Porto were not exp...
