Question: (CNN) The US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has told CNN that removing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power is a priority, cementing an extraordinary U-turn in the Trump administration's stance on the embattled leader. Two days after the US launched military strikes on a Syrian airbase in response to a chemical weapons attack widely blamed on the Assad regime, Haley said Assad's departure was inevitable. But before Tuesday's chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun, which killed 89 people, Haley had said toppling Assad was not a priority. President Donald Trump, before his election, described fighting ISIS and seeking Assad's removal at the same time as "idiocy."Haley says Assad hinders political solution for SyriaShe warns US could carry out more strikes on regime 
 Question:Secondly, we don't see a peaceful _ with Assad in there.

Answer: Syrian


Question: England’s seven-game winning streak does not include Italy. Lithuania, but not Italy. Slovenia, but not Italy. San Marino and Estonia, but not Italy. So the idea that the heat has been taken out of Harry Kane’s full debut for his country by a string of victories since last summer’s World Cup does rather overlook a salient fact. That England’s seven wins, as welcome as they may be, are against the also-rans of European football. Only Slovenia are on course to qualify automatically for the European Championship at the halfway stage — by coming a distant second to England — while Norway, Switzerland and Scotland are in third place in their respective groups, Lithuania lie fourth, Estonia fifth and San Marino where they always are. This is not Roy Hodgson’s fault. His players can only beat what is in front of them.Roy Hodgson has confirmed Harry Kane will start for England against ItalyKane scored first international goal on debut against Lithuania on FridayEngland's recent winning streak has come against Europe's also-ransThe Three Lions take on Italy at the Juventus Stadium on Tuesday night 
 Question:_’s defence will be of a calibre England have not experienced since the World Cup.

Answer: Italy


Question: Manchester United fans who may feel a little underwhelmed that Louis van Gaal's attention has turned from World Cup and Champions League winner Pedro to Sadio Mane of Southampton may be interested to learn the Senegal forward is actually better in front of goal than his more illustrious counterpart, who is moving from Barcelona to Chelsea. Mane's 10 goals in 30 appearances for Southampton last season compares favourably with the six in 35 managed by Pedro. Even taking into account Pedro's occasionally brief cameos as a substitute, Mane is more lethal, striking every 213.5 minutes – just over once every other game – compared with the Spaniard's 254.8 minutes between goals.Sadio Mane has emerged as a surprise target for Manchester UnitedBarcelona star Pedro snubbed Old Trafford move to join rivals ChelseaMane's stats show he is more lethal than the Spain wingerSenegal ace scored 10 goals from 30 games for Southampton last seasonREAD: Manchester United set to ramp up Thomas Muller and Sadio ManeREAD: Chelsea confirm £21m signing of Pedro from BarcelonaIt's not too late to sign up for MailOnline's new Fantasy Football game
