Manuel Pellegrini's men were looking to make it another win to maintain their 100% start to the season but met a very resilient Crystal Palace on the back of their victory over Chelsea at Stanford Bridge.
Raheem Sterling was missing with a slight hamstring injury while new signing Kevin De Bruyne started from the bench.
Palace keeper Alex McCarthy was the first to make a save in the game, denying Samir Nasri, who was set-up by Yaya Toure's inch-perfect lofted free-kick.
Yannick Bolasie missed two decent chances early in the game early opportunities, before City were dealt a big blow.
A challenge from Palace defender, Scott Dann in the 17th minute left Sergio Aguero with an injury which forced him out of the game.

Pellegrini also had a touchline row with Palace manager Alan Pardew.
Pardew overstepped into Pellegrini's technical area to protest a  Yaya Toure's rash challenge on James McArthur and the Chilean lost control grabbing his counterpart before a touchline a row ensued.
Both managers were separated by fourth official Roger East but the pair eventually shook hands to end their feud.
Goalless it end at half time.
De Bruyne set up Jesus Navas in the second half but the Spain international could not tap into an empty net after rounding the goalleeper.
Joe Hart was alert to save a Jason Puncheon header in the 70th minute as the game looked like it was heading for a draw.
Iheanacho however grabbed three points for City by scoring a late minute goal.
The 18-year-old was more alert to pounce on a rebound to score the winning goal.

Sisi asks oil minister to form new cabinet - presidency

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi asked Oil Minister Sherif Ismail to form a new cabinet, the presidency said on Saturday.
Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb submitted the cabinet's resignation earlier on Saturday. Sisi asked the government to carry on in a caretaker role until a new administration is formed in the most populous Arab country.
The announcement comes almost one week after the authorities arrested Egypt's agriculture minister over corruption allegations.
Egypt is battling an insurgency headed by an affiliate of Islamic State while trying to attract more foreign investment in an economy reeling from years of turmoil that followed an uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
Ismail will likely be appointed the new prime minister, replacing Ibrahim Mehleb. An engineer who held senior posts at several state-run energy firms, Ismail is seen as one of the best performing ministers.
As oil minister, he oversaw politically sensitive reforms, slashing energy subsidies, and also paid back some arrears to foreign energy companies to improve Egypt's image among investors.
Sisi has asked the previous government to carry on in a caretaker role until a new administration is formed, the statement said.
Egypt, the Arab world's most populous country, is due to hold long-delayed parliamentary elections next month, the final step in a process the government has said would deliver democracy.
In his former role as army chief, Sisi toppled Egypt's first freely-elected president, Islamist Mohamed Mursi, in 2013 after mass protests against his rule. Sisi was later elected president on promises of political stability and economic prosperity.
He launched a security crackdown that put an end to large-scale political unrest in Egypt but has drawn criticism from human rights groups who accuse him of silencing the opposition.

 

Major Twitter investor says enough is enough. Hire a new CEO!


Major Twitter investor says enough is enough. Hire a new CEO!



      Twitter's biggest investor has unleashed another tweetnado on the company.
On Friday, Chris Sacca fired off the latest in a series of tweets criticizing the social network's board for dragging its feet as the company nears three months without a permanent CEO.
In the barrage of tweets, the venture capitalist again threw his weight behind co-founder Jack Dorsey, who has run the San Francisco company on an interim basis since Dick Costolo resigned earlier this year amid struggling growth.

"They are running a 'process' yet there is only one person fit to run this company: @Jack," Sacca tweeted, using Dorsey's Twitter handle. "Enough is enough."
Twitter didn't respond to a phone call and email seeking comment.
Sacca's comments come as pressure mounts on Twitter's board amid weakening financial performance and stalled user growth. Last year, a vocal group of investors publicly criticized Twitter executives for not finding new ways to attract users and make money from their traffic. The company has also lost high-ranking employees in the wake of the management shuffle, which started in June.
Friday's tweetstorm isn't the first time Sacca, who was Twitter's largest shareholder at the time of its initial public offering in 2013, has used the medium to make his opinion clear. Sacca endorsed Dorsey in a series of tweets on August 7.
In May, Sacca wrote an 8,500-word open letter to Twitter urging it to make the product easier to use. He posted it on his blog.
The management turmoil has taken its toll on the social network's stock price, which has hovered near $26 -- its 2013 IPO price -- since mid-August. The stock hit a high of more than $70 in December 2013. It dropped below $60 in February 2014 and hasn't been as high since.
On Friday, Twitter's stock fell to more than 1 percent closing at $27.39.
In his barrage, Sacca blamed Twitter's falling stock price on the board's inaction.
Sacca said Wall Street expects the company to name Dorsey as CEO, a position he held when the company was founded in 2006. Dorsey, who is also CEO of mobile payments company Square, is the "heart and soul of Twitter," Sacca said.
Sacca dismissed concerns that Dorsey had too many responsibilities at Square to run Twitter.
"The market knows that (Dorsey) has such strong teams at both (Square) and (Twitter) that he can run both companies," he said. "This is settled."

White HouseU.S. to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees




White HouseU.S. to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees

"This is totally within the realm of what the current system on autopilot could do. This is not time for autopilot. This is time to really ramp things up," said Nezer.
U.S. to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees -White House play

President Barack Obama has directed his administration to prepare to take in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year, the White House said on Thursday.
It is the first specific commitment the United States has made toward increasing its acceptance of refugees from the war-torn country.
Since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the United States has taken in 1,500 refugees, with 300 more expected to be cleared by October.
But refugee advocates and some members of Congress said taking in an additional 10,000 refugees did not go far enough toward addressing the humanitarian crisis triggered by the war, which has prompted a massive refugee influx into Europe.
In a letter distributed to House members and seen by Reuters, Democratic Representative David Cicilline asked Obama to accommodate 65,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2016. Religious groups have called for the United States to accept 100,000 Syrian refugees.
European countries have taken in waves of migrants fleeing violence. Germany allowed 20,000 migrants into the country over the weekend and is preparing for 800,000 this year.
Melanie Nezer, vice president of HIAS, a global refugee advocacy group, said that for the United States to allow 10,000 more refugees from Syria was not an adequate response to the crisis.
"This is totally within the realm of what the current system on autopilot could do. This is not time for autopilot. This is time to really ramp things up," said Nezer.
The United States is conducting air strikes in Syria as part of its effort to fight against Islamic State. It currently admits a total of 70,000 refugees from around the world annually, and is due to increase that total by 5,000 for the fiscal year starting in October.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest would not say whether the 10,000 Syrians would be a part of or in addition to that total.

SECURITY CONCERNS
Earnest said national security was a top concern for admitting Syrians, a country rife with anti-American militants, noting that intensive security screening for refugees could take up to 18 months.
"I do feel confident in telling you that the president will not sign off on a process that cuts corners when it comes to the basic safety and security of the American people and the U.S. homeland," Earnest told reporters.
The additional background checks and processing will require a "significant financial commitment" from Congress, Earnest said.
Secretary of State John Kerry met with the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, a requirement before the administration can change the number of refugees allowed. Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said he welcomed the additional 10,000 but that Kerry was not clear about whether additional refugees would be allowed later.
"Secretary Kerry initially said that the Obama administration is seeking a reasonable increase in refugees allowed into the United States in the upcoming fiscal year. But when pressed, the administration indicated that they were considering opening the floodgates and using emergency authority to go above what they proposed to Congress in today's consultation," the Republican lawmaker said in a statement.
Congress cannot block the administration from setting limits on the number of refugees it admits from each region. But it can block funding needed for staffing agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services that handle the screening and resettlement procedures.

Buhari applauds armed forces resolve to speedily end insurgency, warns that Human rights violation will be punished Press statement from the presidency

Saturday, September 12, 2015 Buhari applauds armed forces resolve to speedily end insurgency, warns that Human rights violation will be punished Press statement from the presidency
President Muhammadu Buhari Saturday in Kaduna reaffirmed his administration’s total commitment to the rule of law and warned that proven acts of human rights violation by the Armed Forces will be punished under his leadership. Addressing officers, troops and newly commissioned cadets at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), President Buhari reminded them that the rule of law applied to the Armed Forces as much as any other institution in the country. “I wish to remind you of the Federal Government’s commitment to overhaul the rules of engagement and improve operational and legal mechanisms so that disciplinary steps are taken against proven human rights violations by the armed forces. We are committed to a thorough investigation of recent and any future occurrences of human rights violations by elements of our Armed Forces. While I applaud the integrity and sterling record of the Armed Forces as an institution, this administration will insist on the rule of law, and deal with any proven cases of deviation from laws of armed conflict, including human rights abuses. In operational conduct Nigerians expect our Armed Forces to keep law and order, and not to behave like bullies. Let me reiterate this administration’s commitment to due process, merit and total observance of the rule of law as central pillars of a prosperous and democratic society. Rule of law as an element of good governance applies to the Armed Forces as much as any institution in our country. It is therefore gratifying that all three Services have recently taken steps to emphasize strict adherence to rules in recruitment, promotions, procurement, project executions and civil-military relations,” the President said at the passing out of Officer Cadets of the NDA’s 62 Regular Course and Short Service Course 43. Observing that security remains the most important challenge in his Administration’s “Change” Programme, President Buhari said that the nation expects exemplary conduct and professionalism from officers and men of its Armed Forces at all times and in all situations. “The objectives our fight against terrorism cannot be realized without a credible and effective military. You must avoid any behavior that will tarnish your honour and dignity as commissioned officers. Your commitment and loyalty to the Armed Forces and the nation must be total. I urge you to take your roles in the on-going process of rebuilding our Armed Forces very seriously,” President Buhari told the newly-commissioned officers. Declaring that the Federal Government was pleased with the Armed Forces’ resolve to end the insurgency facing the country once and for all, President Buhari assured them of his Administration’s determination to ensure the speedy provision of platforms and equipment they require to win the war against terrorism and meet their long term needs.
