Kostas Tsimikas: Liverpool sign left-back from Olympiakos

Kostas Tsimikas says he believes he has joined "the biggest club in the world" after completing a move to Liverpool from Olympiakos. The 24-year-old has joined the Premier League champions for about £11.7m on a five-year contract and is expected to provide competition for Andy Robertson.

GES, MoE should reconsider exams ban on 14 students- President

Twitter ‘looking’ at a possible TikTok tie-up

Twitter has approached TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance to express an interest in buying its US operations, according to sources. Video-sharing platform TikTok has been at the centre of fierce debate in recent weeks and takeover talk.

Tech giant Microsoft is the front-runner to buy TikTok but now Twitter has emerged as a possible suitor. But it remains unclear whether Twitter can afford to buy TikTok from its Chinese owners and can complete a deal within the 45-day window, according to sources quoted in the Wall Street Journal. The value of TikTok's US operations aren't clear but estimates put it at tens of billions of dollars. Twitter's market capitalisation...
