MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League was cut to seven points after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Wednesday. Chelsea moved up to second by thrashing last-place Southampton 5-1, while Arsenal is third after a 2-0 win over Manchester United. Fourth-place Manchester City ended its seven-game winless run with a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. Liverpool’s result will give hope to its title rivals after Fabian Schar’s 90th-minute equalizer at St James’ Park. Arne Slot’s team had twice come back from a goal down to take the lead in the 83rd through Mohamed Salah’s second goal of the match. But the Merseyside club was denied an eighth-straight win in all competitions when Newcastle produced a fightback of its own. “I have mixed feelings, we were outstanding in the second half, but we were not good enough in the first half," Slot said. “Maybe 3-3 is what the game deserved.” Chelsea and Arsenal took advantage. Chelsea's third league win in a row puts it ahead of Arsenal on goal difference. City also reduced the gap and is nine points behind Liverpool after finally ending the worst run of results of Pep Guardiola’s managerial career. “We needed it. The club, the players, everyone needed to win,” Guardiola said. Thrilling clash After wins over Real Madrid and City last week, Liverpool’s title credentials were given a stern test by Newcastle, which led at halftime through Alexander Isak and again in the second half through Anthony Gordon. Goals from Curtis Jones and Salah twice leveled the game before Salah looked to have sealed the win late on. Schar equalized after Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher misjudged a late free kick. It meant Liverpool dropped points for only the third time this season after drawing against Arsenal and losing to Forest. Chelsea challenge Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said this week that his team was not in the title race, but the standings tell a different story. The London club is Liverpool’s closest challenger after its latest win against 10-man Southampton. Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho were all on target in the rout at St Mary’s Stadium. Southampton had briefly leveled the game through Joe Aribo, but Chelsea was already 3-1 up and in control when Jack Stephens was sent off before the break. Arteta vs. Amorim Arsenal inflicted a first loss on new United head coach Ruben Amorim with a 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium. Two goals from second-half corners made the difference, with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba finding the back of the net, but Arsenal still slipped to third, despite edging closer to Liverpool. Mikel Arteta's team finished runner-up in each of the last two seasons and looks primed to challenge again after making an unconvincing start to the campaign. “You get written off but we stuck together as a group," Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice said. “You stick together and we’re starting to reap the rewards of that.” De Bruyne is back Making his first start since September, Kevin De Bruyne showed City exactly what it has been missing by scoring a goal and creating another as the four-time defending champion got back to winning ways. The Belgium playmaker provided the cross for Bernardo Silva to give City an eighth-minute lead against Forest at the Etihad Stadium. He produced a trademark finish to sweep the ball past goalkeeper Matz Sels in the 31st to put City on course for a first win in eight games. Jeremy Doku made it 3-0 in the 57th, but it was De Bruyne’s performance that stood out after seeing much of his season disrupted by a groin injury. He left the field in the 74th to an ovation from the home crowd. “It’s been a tough time but you have to accept the challenge and I think we did well today," De Bruyne said. "The Premier League is getting harder and harder. We have to improve as a team first and we’ll see in a couple of months where we are. Hopefully, we would have improved a bit and are a lot closer.” City injuries But victory could have come at a cost with concerns over the fitness of Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake, who both went off. “Nathan doesn’t look good. We (will) see tomorrow,” Guardiola said. “Manu is making the last two months struggle a lot.” Winning again A first win in six games for Everton moved Sean Dyche’s team further away from the relegation zone, while back-to-back losses for Wolverhampton left the club second from bottom of the standings. Ashley Young and Orel Mangala put Everton in control before two second-half own goals from Craig Dawson sealed a 4-0 win for the Merseyside club, which is five points clear of the bottom three. Aston Villa ended an even longer winless run by beating Brentford 3-1 to secure a first victory in nine games in all competitions. Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins from the penalty spot and Matty Cash were on target. ___ James Robson is at https://twitter.com/jamesalanrobson ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer James Robson, The Associated Press

The Israeli Justice Ministry made the announcement in a message late on Thursday, saying the investigation would focus on the findings of a recent report by the Uvda investigative programme into Sara Netanyahu. The programme uncovered a trove of WhatsApp messages in which Mrs Netanyahu appears to instruct a former aide to organise protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in the trial. The announcement did not mention Mrs Netanyahu by name and the Justice Ministry declined further comment. Earlier on Thursday, Mr Netanyahu blasted the Uvda report as “lies”. It is the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the Netanyahus, highlighted by the PM’s ongoing corruption trial. Mr Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of cases alleging he exchanged favours with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. He denies the charges and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt” by overzealous prosecutors, police and the media.The advent of humanoid robots is on the horizon, with projections suggesting they will begin to occupy warehouse spaces, car manufacturing plants, and possibly even our homes by 2025. However, their widespread adoption remains uncertain. Unlike traditional machines in use today —comprising either single arms executing repetitive tasks or wheeled robots traversing warehouse floors—these advanced robots bear a human-like appearance, complete with two arms and legs. Their design enables them to integrate more seamlessly into environments originally configured for human beings. This ambitious endeavor hinges significantly on advancements in artificial intelligence, which is crucial for their operation in complex settings. Agility Robotics has already begun introducing its cutting-edge robot, Digit, into warehouse settings. The company envisions these humanoid robots revolutionizing industries by enhancing efficiency and adaptability in areas traditionally managed by humans. The potential for these nimble robots is vast, but the sector faces challenges, principally enhancing AI capabilities to mimic human dexterity and decision-making. The progress made so far, however, demonstrates promising strides toward achieving this goal. In a world increasingly leaning toward automation, the emergence of humanoid robots marks a pivotal shift. Whether they will claim a dominant position in our industrial and domestic landscapes is a question whose answer lies in the advancements of the upcoming years. This technological leap could redefine how work is performed, forging a new relationship between humans and machines. The Future is Now: Humanoid Robots Set to Transform Industries by 2025 As we approach 2025, the integration of humanoid robots into industries such as warehousing and manufacturing is highly anticipated. Although the timeline for widespread adoption remains uncertain, the implications of this technology are profound and transformative. Humanoid robots, unlike the traditional machines currently prevalent, are designed to mirror human anatomy with two arms and legs, making them exceptionally suited for environments traditionally designed for human operation. This innovative design is contingent on breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, allowing robots to perform complex tasks that require human-like dexterity and decision-making. Trends and Innovations: One of the frontrunners in this technological advancement, Agility Robotics, has already started deploying its humanoid robot, Digit, in warehouse environments. With a vision of revolutionizing industries, the company capitalizes on the efficiencies and adaptability that humanoid robots can bring to roles traditionally occupied by humans. This innovation not only enhances operational efficiency but also introduces the potential for workers to focus on more complex tasks that require human intuition. Use Cases and Applications: Humanoid robots are ideally suited for various applications beyond the warehouse floor. In automotive manufacturing, they could handle intricate assembly tasks that demand precision and coordination. At home, these robots have the potential to assist with daily chores, providing invaluable support to aging populations or individuals with disabilities. Challenges and Limitations: While the potential for humanoid robots is expansive, significant hurdles remain, chiefly related to advancing AI to replicate the nuanced dexterity and cognitive abilities of human workers. Current AI technology, while advanced, has yet to fully master the complexity of human-like decision-making required in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Comparisons and Market Analysis: As the market for humanoid robots begins to develop, a comparison with traditional automation solutions reveals exciting possibilities. Unlike single-purpose machines, humanoid robots offer versatility and adaptability, catering to a broader range of applications with minimal environmental disruption. The market is poised for growth, influenced by advancements in AI, machine learning, and robotics. Predictions and Insights: Experts predict that if AI capabilities continue to advance at the current pace, humanoid robots will become integral to industrial and possibly domestic landscapes within the next decade. This technological leap could redefine labor dynamics, fostering a synergetic relationship between humans and machines.
