The phenomenon, captured on video and posted to Twitter by Chinese state-run outlet People’s Daily, shows the sheep walking in a circle on a farm in Inner Mongolia, North China. Most, but not all, of the animals in the pen, can be seen engaging in the behavior. Sheep are well known to mimic behaviors of others in the flock. This is due to social instinct that tells them to follow the animal in front of them to evade predators and protect individuals in the group....

The Spanish star endured a difficult 2018, playing just nine tournaments before undergoing ankle surgery in November. Nadal finished the year with a 45-4 win-loss record and five titles, ending up second to Novak Djokovic in the rankings. But the 17-time grand slam champion said returning to the top was not a target of his this year. “It’s not my goal. My goal is just be happy doing what I am doing and be competitive all the ways that I’m playing,” Nadal told a news conference on Tuesday....

The Spaniard has been in imperious form on clay this year and went into his clash with Dominic Thiem having won his previous 17 matches, dropping just two sets in the process. Adding to that proved too much as Thiem - who Nadal beat in the Barcelona and Madrid finals - finally got the better of the French Open favourite, the Austrian winning 6-4 6-3. Nadal acknowledged his young rival had been too good in Rome while revealing he was looking forward to a rest - and maybe some fishing - after a busy couple of weeks....

The Spaniard confirmed the news on his Facebook page on Thursday. He recently withdrew from the French Open with a wrist injury after the second round. “Hi everybody. I’m sad to announce that after talking to my doctors, and receiving the results of my last medical revision, I won’t be able to play at Wimbledon this year,” the 14-time Grand Slam winner said. “As you can all imagine, it’s a very tough decision, but the injury I suffered at Roland Garros needs time to heal....

Nadal triumphed 7-5, 6-7 (7/9), 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 after four hours and 48 minutes to reach his sixth Wimbledon semi-final and 28th at the majors. The two-time Wimbledon champion will face Djokovic, a three-time winner at the All England Club, for a place in Sunday’s final. Djokovic leads their epic head-to-head rivalry 26-25. Victory yesterday gave Nadal his 11th win in 16 meetings against the fifth seed Del Potro as the Spaniard stayed on course for an 18th Grand Slam title....

Rafael Nadal defied David Ferrer as well as a worrying security breach to become the first man to capture the same Grand Slam title eight times on Sunday with victory in the French Open final. Nadal claimed his 12th major with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 win over his Spanish compatriot who was playing in his first Grand Slam final at the age of 31 and at the 42nd time of asking....

The Belgium international is a reported target for Inter and Manchester United, with the Premier League club said to be willing to pay around £40million for the midfielder. Roma fans have made clear their frustrations around the club’s transfer policy, with Mohamed Salah and Leandro Paredes sold and Antonio Rudiger tipped to complete a move to Chelsea. However, Monchi is adamant that no more first-team players will be moved on and is confident that Roma will have a strong side by the time the transfer window closes at the end of August....

The goalkeeper and son of Germany legend and former United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann has not had an easy first season since making the move from UC Berkeley last summer. The 20-year-old was ruled out at the start of the season through injury before and was forced to settle on a bench before making his maiden first team appearance in a 1-1 draw with Ostersund in the Europa League....

Icardi has posted a number of suggestive images of himself alongside wife and agent Wanda Nara on Instagram over the past week. Those pictures and the media attention they attracted had the potential to become an unwelcome distraction for Spalletti and the Nerazzurri, who visit Udinese on Saturday looking to cement their grip on a place in Serie A’s top four that would secure Champions League qualification. But in a media conference on Friday, Spalletti shrugged off questions about Icardi’s conduct away from the pitch....

Following the charges brought against Epstein, UltraViolet’s executive director Shaunna Thomas issued a statement calling on Pelosi to probe the political figures who helped protect Epstein from prosecution....

Kami is part of a trend that is transforming both public health and popular entertainment. From New York to New Delhi, health advocates are discovering that rock stars, cartoon characters and fictional detectives can change hearts and minds in a way that pamphlet-wielding experts never will.

Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who came to power in 1999, now seems to have started down the same path. In all likelihood, his days as Pakistan’s leader are numbered. Protests, which started in the legal community, have expanded to students, journalists and political activists. Individuals who hardly knew Iftikar Chaudhry, the former chief justice of Pakistan, now see him as a potential savior. Musharraf has an opportunity to break the tragic pattern of military generals clinging to power....

Germany international defender Mustafi joined the Gunners from Valencia in 2016 but his form has dwindled over recent campaigns. This term, the 27-year-old has predominantly been used in the Europa League and EFL Cup, although Calum Chambers being out for the season and Konstantinos Mavropanos joining Nurnberg on loan means he could be granted opportunities to add to a solitary Premier League start. “I just put my head down when all the criticism came at me and worked hard....
