Cuba Gooding Jr denies new sexual assault charge


Actor Cuba Gooding Jr pleaded not guilty to fresh charges of sexual misconduct involving a third woman on Thursday.
It comes less than a month after the star denied accusations of groping one woman’s breasts and pinching another woman’s buttocks.
The 51-year-old Jerry Maguire star pleaded not guilty to the new charges of forcible touching and sexual abuse in Manhattan Supreme Court.
He is due back in court on 22 January.
The New York court heard that the latest allegations stem from an incident in Manhattan’s Lavo nightclub in September 2018, but no further details were added.
The Boyz N The Hood actor’s lawyer, Mark Heller, called the charges “totally fraudulent”.
Gooding won the Oscar for best supporting actor in 1997 for his role as Rod Tidwell in the comedy-drama Jerry Maguire.

Two girls, one body The conjoined twins whose fight for life took them from Senegal to Wales

Conjoined twins - you're unlikely to see them. Only a tiny number are born each year, the vast majority of which are stillborn or die soon after birth. Marieme and Ndeye are the exceptions. At two years and eight months, they live in Cardiff, having moved with their father, Ibrahima Ndiaye, 50, from their birth place of Senegal. It's been a journey of hardship, with the family swapping a prosperous existence for one of hostels and food banks. The girls are now safe, but a shadow looms. Marieme's heart is weak - so weak, she may die. If this happens, her stronger sister Ndeye will die with her. At the moment, the twins grow each day and delight in life. But in the coming years, an unimaginable choice may lie before Ibrahima. Should he let surgeons attempt separation - risking the life of both girls, but particularly Marieme's? Or should he let both girls die together? Two girls, one body The conjoined twins whose fi...

Emiliano Sala: Search for footballer and pilot called off

Media caption The voice message Emiliano Sala sent on missing plane The search for missing footballer Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson has been called off after rescuers failed to find their plane. Cardiff City's Argentine striker, 28, and Mr Ibbotson, from Crowle, Lincolnshire,  were on the aircraft that disappeared from radar  on Monday. After three days of scouring the English Channel, authorities made the decision to abandon the search. But Sala's sister Romina pleaded with rescuers to keep looking for him. Guernsey Police  tweeted  at 15:15 GMT to say rescuers were "no longer actively searching" for the plane. Harbourmaster Capt David Barker said the chances of survival were "extremely remote". "We reviewed all the information available to us, as well as knowing what emergency equipment was on board, and have taken the difficult decision to end the search," he added.

Real Madrid has topped the table of the world's 20 richest football clubs, displacing Manchester United with record revenues of €750.9m (£674.6m). Man Utd slipped to third with Barcelona making it the first Spanish one-two since 2014-15, said Deloitte. Its Football Money League, based on season 2017-18, also shows the combined revenues of the top 20 clubs has risen 6% to €8.3bn (£7.4bn), a new record. There were a record six English Premier League clubs in the top 10. 'Outstanding performance' The list, the 22nd of its kind, only looks at revenues and does not take into account club debts. This gap this year between the top two places was the second widest yet, with €60.5m between the leading pair. Real Madrid won their third successive Champions League, beating Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev last May. That helped raise income for Los Blancos, who have now topped Deloitte's money league 12 times. The club experienced commercial growth of €54.8m, including ...
