The Chelsea player has made an immediate impact this campaign, scoring twice and providing two assists in the Premier League.…

Sand Branch, a historic settlement about 15 miles south of Dallas, has never had a mains water system, leaving its roughly 150 residents dependent on donated bottled water and unsafe or unreliable wells. Founded in 1878 as a freedmen’s settlement, the unincorporated community has remained without running water or a sewage network despite being close to one of the largest cities in the United States. Residents say the crisis worsened after the nearby Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant was built in 1964.
