Dana Condrey said she lived in horror for nearly two weeks not knowing if her big brother perished or survived the wildfire that devasted Maui. For nearly two agonizing weeks, Dana Condrey said she and her parents lived in horror as they watched the death toll climb from the wildfire that devastated the Hawaiian Island of Maui and not knowing if her big brother perished or survived. Her brother, 56-year-old Phillip Hudelson, who lived and worked in hard-hit Lahaina, vanished when the deadliest U.S. blaze in more than 100 years destroyed his residence and the restaurant where he worked as a bartender. Instead of sitting by the phone waiting for news of her brother's fate, Condrey, a married mother of two, booked a flight to Hawaii from her home in California and set out on a long-shot mission to find her only sibling, telling ABC News, "I told my mother I'd find him." Thanks to the information, including a DNA sample, she gave the Red Cross soon after arriving on Sun...

The average price of a gallon of gas has risen more than 8% over the last month. Drivers have enjoyed relief at the gas pump this summer compared with eye-popping prices a year ago, but an alarming trend has emerged in recent weeks: Prices are rising once again. Over the past month, the average price of a gallon of gas has jumped more than 8%, surpassing $3.80, AAA data showed. In California, the state with the highest gas prices, an average gallon costs more than $5. An output cut imposed by OPEC+ has constrained supply during the summer travel season when demand peaks, sending the price of crude oil soaring and in turn bringing sticker shock to the pump, analysts told ABC News. Meanwhile, a heat wave across the U.S. has limited domestic oil refinery capacity. Gas price s typically fall as Travel slows in the autumn months, but analysts differed over the likelihood of such an outcome amid lingering questions about OPEC+ policy and the continuing oil needs of a resilient global econom...

Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan has stressed that the club remain hopeful of completing the Anfield Road End redevelopment by October despite the build’s contractor, Buckingham Group, filing for administration. The £80m project was put on hold last month when workers and sub-contractors were locked out amid uncertainty over Buckingham Group's ability to continue funding the redevelopment of the famous stand. As a result, Liverpool were forced to operate at a reduced capacity for their first home Game of the season, last weekend's 3-1 win over Bournemouth, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Aston Villa are due at Anfield on 3 September and Hogan confirmed the stadium will only be partly open for that fixture. "Based on the current situation, we will run the Villa Game exactly the same as we did against Bournemouth," Hogan told club media. "The capacity will be around the same, so about 50,000. "Obviously without the second tier on Anfield Roa...

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has revealed Michael Olise has signed a new four-year contract , rejecting the chance to join Chelsea in the process. Chelsea had triggered the £35m release clause in Olise's previous contract and were confident of wrapping up a deal for the French midfielder. Sources have confirmed to 90min that the Blues have been left stunned by news of Olise's extension, which was first revealed by Palace chairman Parish on social media. "I’m absolutely delighted to announce Michael Olise has decided to commit his future to Crystal Palace Football club and this afternoon signed a new four year deal with the club," Parish wrote. READ MORE FROM 90MIN'S TALKING TRANSFERS TEAM feed Palace were hugely unimpressed with Chelsea's pursuit of Olise, with reports suggesting the Eagles had even threatened to take the matter to a tribunal, but 90min understands Chelsea expected the deal to go through anyway.

Newcastle United have completed the signing of teenage defender Lewis Hall from Chelsea. The deal takes the form of an initial loan, but there will be an obligation for Newcastle to make it a permanent transfer next summer based on certain performance criteria. 90min revealed last week that Chelsea wanted £30m for the 18-year-old, who made 11 first-team appearances last season. He will now wear the number 20 shirt at Newcastle most recently occupied by Chris Wood. "I'm very proud. Me and my family are Newcastle fans, and for me and my brother growing up, it was drilled into us that we were Newcastle. It's a big club and I can't wait to get started," Hall told the Magpies’ official website.

Wow, what a Sunday round of 61 for Viktor Hovland to win the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields. It looked as though Scottie Scheffler had the title locked up until Hovland birdied seven of his last nine holes to take the win, and the 2,000 FedExCup points. I had a feeling about Matthew Fitzpatrick at the start of the week and tipped him for a top-10 at +350, so his runner-up finish was a nice money-maker. My outright pick of Max Homa finished T5 after taking the lead at the half-way mark. Now we move onto the big one; the finale! Although it’s not really the “finale” of the season, which continues until November. Confusing? Slightly, but I’ll break that down for you in the next few weeks. The Tour Championship field is locked and the final 30 will be teeing it up at East Lake in Atlanta. There’s a lot that comes with making it all the way to the Tour Championship – exemption into three of the four majors, including the Masters, plus last place this week will earn $500,000. The ...

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has given fans hope that his delayed debut following a big money transfer could be coming sooner rather than later. Hojlund completed a move from Atalanta at the start of August that could eventually reached £72m and was presented to the Old Trafford crowd on the pitch ahead of the pre-season win over Lens. But the Dane has yet been able to get on the pitch properly, forced to miss Monday night's 2023/24 season opener against Wolves won with a solitary Raphael Varane header. That is due to an injury he was already carrying from pre-season with his former club. United did not disclose the exact nature of the problem when the club addressed it, but described it as only "small" and placed a loose time frame of a "few weeks" on Hojlund’s recovery. The 20-year-old has teased that he might not be sidelined for too much longer, sharing a training image on his Instagram stories with both devil and 'soon' emojis. United...

Manchester United's Head of Fan Engagement Rick McGagh has explained the recent 5% increase in ticket prices at Old Trafford. For the first time in over ten years, the Red Devils made the decision to up their ticket prices by 5%, being one of 15 Premier League teams to introduce higher ticketing prices ahead of the 2023/24 season. Arsenal and Crystal Palace have also increased theirs by 5% on average, while the likes of Nottingham Forest and Fulham have seen their rise by 20% and 18% respectively. The decision to hike prices has notably angered Man Utd fans, however McGagh has explained why the club felt forced to bump their prices.
