Disney's live-action remake of the animated film Mulan is facing calls for a boycott, after its star voiced support for Hong Kong's police force.

Rewilding (23 February 2007 – 23 July 2011) was a thoroughbred racehorse. He won races at Royal Ascot and in Dubai. His finest hour came when winning the 2011 Prince Of Wales Stakes, beating Australian superstar So You Think.

The Football League Trophy 1998–99, known as the Auto Windscreens Shield 1998–99 for sponsorship reasons, was the 16th staging of the Football League Trophy, a knock-out competition for English football clubs in Second and Third Division. The winners were Wigan Athletic who beat Millwall 1–0 in the final.

Murray brothers go head-to-head in Cincinnati

Bassetts Fundays Murray Mints are a quintessentially British confectionary treat. Mint and butter combine to perfection for that unique and instantly recognisable Murray Mint taste.

Huddersfield Town have sacked boss Jan Siewert, who led the Terriers to just one win in his seven months in charge.

I think JS was dealt a bad hand but has looked out of his depth since day one. Typical Huddersfield trying to do everything on the cheap. I don’t see the situation improving any time soon and can see relegation as a real prospect. What an opportunity the club has messed up.

Luigi Del Neri earned a solid reputation in European football for bringing Chievo from Serie B obscurity to Serie A contention. In July 2004, he was announced as Jose Mourinho's replacement at Porto.

But Del Neri was sacked before the season began, with club president Jorge Pinto da Costa blaming his poor "time-keeping" after he missed a training session.

A massive fire has swept through a slum in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, leaving 50,000 people homeless.

About 15,000 homes were destroyed in the Chalantika slum late on Friday.

Many homes had plastic roofs, which helped the flames to spread. No deaths have been reported, although several people were injured.

Police are investigating after Labour activist Owen Jones was "kicked in the head" by a group of men outside a pub.

The Guardian columnist said he had been celebrating his birthday with friends when the men made a "direct beeline" for him in the early hours of Saturday.

Wales will rise to the top of the world rankings for the first time after they ground out a 13-6 victory over England in the World Cup warm-up in Cardiff.

George North's try after inspired play from Dan Biggar helped Wales build a 10-0 lead at the end of a keenly contested but disjointed first-half.

England edged into it with two George Ford penalties as defences dominated.

But Leigh Halfpenny struck the decisive penalty on his return to the Wales side after an injury-ravaged year.

That means on Monday morning, when the next world rankings are released officially, Warren Gatland's men will sit at the summit for the first time since World Rugby introduced the ranking system in 2003.

It also ends New Zealand's uninterrupted 10 years at the top, despite the All Blacks' 36-0 victory over Australia earlier on Saturday.
