PROBLEM: Manchester City have not been put off by Raheem Sterling's turbulent summer and will make a third offer for the unsettled Liverpool forward. The news comes as former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard slammed his former team-mate for his handling of the transfer saga. City believe the rift between Sterling and Brendan Rodgers will enable them to land the youngster for much less than the £50million asking price. They are determined to land Sterling this summer and will make an improved bid on their previous £40m offer. Sterling, who has made no secret of his desire to leave, has called in sick for two successive days and Gerrard told Sky Sports: 'I’m not happy with all that carry-on and I don’t think there’s any need for it.

PROBLEM: (CNN) They're the words anxious suburban Los Angeles residents have wanted to hear: "no active fire left." But the man who spoke them Monday, Los Angeles Fire Chief Ralph Terrazas, also warned that the winds could easily rekindle the La Tuna fire that burned 7,000 acres over the weekend. By Monday afternoon, La Tuna's cinders smoldering near Burbank remained 30% contained, though fire officials were optimistic the figure would grow. The steep terrain and earlier weather conditions posed challenges to fighting the blaze, fire officials said. Firefighters were working through the night to fight the blaze, officials said Monday. Terrazas said bulldozers and hand crews would work to clear a line -- removing all brush and other fuel the blaze would need to keep burning -- from the remaining perimeter around the fire in the foothills north of Los Angeles.Bulldozers and hand crews scramble to cut fire lines before wind rekindles fireLa Tuna fire is 30% contained, but fire officials expect number to increase
