Sir Henry Joseph Wood CH (3 March 1869 – 19 August 1944) was an English conductor best known for his association with London's annual series of promenade concerts, known as the Proms. He conducted them for nearly half a century, introducing hundreds of new works to British audiences. After his death, the concerts were officially renamed in his honour as the "Henry Wood Promenade Concerts", although they continued to be generally referred to as "the Proms".

Defender Phil Jagielka and midfielder Jack Rodwell have signed new one-year contracts at Sheffield United.

Jagielka, 38, and 29-year-old Rodwell, whose deals were due to expire on 30 June, signed short-term extensions to take them to the end of the delayed 2019-20 season.

"Phil is a valuable and respected member of the squad," said manager Chris Wilder. "The same applies with Jack, who offered us versatility and gave us options within the group during the second half of last term."

England international Jagielka made 10 appearances after rejoining United on a free transfer at the beginning of last season following 12 years at Everton.

Rodwell played two games after arriving on a free transfer in January.

Stephen Robinson admitted Motherwell "are in trouble" if they do not soon find a route to goal.

The hosts outplayed Hamilton for an hour, with midfielder David Turnbull forcing saves by Ryan Fulton, but were downed by a late Hakeem Odoffin goal.

The 1-0 loss leaves Motherwell third bottom of the Premiership, with two points and two goals from five games.

"Somebody at some stage has to step up and score goals," said an exasperated Robinson.

"How many balls does David Turnbull have to put in the box for someone to get on the end of it?

"I keep claiming bad luck, I think that runs out after a while. I'm boring myself with that."

I don't see Klopp walking away from Liverpool any time soon. Not saying it's impossible, as he left Dortmund before the end of his deal, but I see no reason why he'd leave Liverpool. Certainly not for another club job. I think he'd like to manage Germany at some point, but he's still relatively young as a manager and his energy levels and passion on a day to day basis certainly haven't waned at all. So I don't see him leaving club management or Liverpool for a few years yet

Donald Trump made a surprise stop at the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina on Monday afternoon after he was officially nominated to become the party's candidate in November.

Coming out onto the stage to his rally anthem 'God Bless the USA,' Trump was greeted by delegates at the scaled-down convention with chants of 'four more years.'

'We have to win. This is the most important election in the history of our country,' Trump said to cheers from a smaller-than-usual crowd.
