Why did Lionel Messi not play in Hong Kong? What contract said, when government was told, news on ticket refunds

05 Feb 2024  |  South China Morning Post  |  English  |  Entertainment & Celebrity

Lionel Messi did not play in a match in Hong Kong, causing disappointment among nearly 40,000 fans who had purchased tickets to see him. Despite earlier statements from Tatler Asia's CEO Michel Lamuniere suggesting no guarantee of Messi's playtime, a government source claimed there were contract terms specifying Messi's participation barring illness or injury. Inter Miami later cited a hamstring injury for Messi's absence. The Hong Kong government, which had funded the event, was informed of Messi's non-participation shortly before the game ended. The incident led to boos and chants for refunds from the crowd, and Tatler Asia withdrew its application for event funds. The situation is under review by the Major Sports Events Committee, and the question of refunds remains unresolved.

PRS denounces beating of deputy by 'Presidential compound security'

13 Nov 2023  |  Voice of America  |  Portuguese  |  Government Accountability

Farid Michel Tavares Fadul, a deputy from the Social Renewal Party (PRS) in Guinea-Bissau, was beaten near the Presidential compound on Saturday night while allegedly taking drone footage near Amílcar Cabral Avenue, ahead of the Armed Forces Day celebrations on November 16. The PRS condemned the attack in a statement released on Sunday and called on the government, led by Geraldo Martins, to take responsibility for ensuring citizen security and to initiate a process to determine the civil and disciplinary responsibilities of the perpetrators. The party, which is part of the government, demands disciplinary actions leading to the removal of the agents involved. Incidents of beating deputies, activists, journalists, and social critics have occurred in Guinea-Bissau in recent years, but the perpetrators have not been detained or brought to justice.

How hard are the Reds prospects hitting the baseball?

18 Dec 2023  |  www.redsminorleagues.com  |  English  |  Minor Leagues

The article explores the exit velocity data of Cincinnati Reds prospects, focusing on the 'Best Speed' metric, which averages the top half of a player's batted ball velocities. It highlights the performance of various players, noting that Elly De La Cruz and Cam Collier stand out for their high exit velocities. The data, while insightful, is limited and should not be the sole factor in evaluating player potential. The analysis underscores that hitting the ball hard is beneficial but not the only aspect of a player's overall performance.

German police admit Berlin Lion was ‘most likely’ a boar after embarrassing wild goose chase with riot cops & snipers

21 Jul 2023  |  The US Sun  |  English  |  Public Safety

Police in Berlin admitted that a supposed lioness sighting was likely a wild boar, ending a two-day search involving riot police, snipers, and animal hunters. The operation was initiated after a video appeared to show a lioness, but experts later identified the animal as a boar. The search, which included drones, night-vision goggles, and a special task force vehicle, was called off after no trace of a lioness was found. Authorities were puzzled as no local zoos or circuses reported missing animals.

The European Union: United in disunity over the Gaza war

15 Nov 2023  |  The New Arab  |  English  |  International Relations

The European Union is experiencing significant internal disunity over its stance on the Gaza war following the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel. While European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed strong support for Israel, other EU leaders and member states have shown varied responses, with some calling for restraint and a ceasefire. The disunity was highlighted by differing votes on a UN resolution for a humanitarian truce. Key EU countries like France and Spain have criticized Israel's actions, while others like Hungary and Austria have supported Israel. The EU's common position has been to call for 'immediate pauses' in hostilities rather than a ceasefire. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has intensified, with significant casualties and displacement, prompting the EU to increase its aid commitment. However, the EU's focus remains on managing potential refugee flows rather than addressing the root causes of the conflict.

As US support for Ukraine wobbles, EU takes up membership question

06 Oct 2023  |  Stars and Stripes  |  English  |  Russia-Ukraine Conflict

European Union leaders met in Granada, Spain, to discuss the potential membership of Ukraine amidst wavering US financial support. Despite broad consensus on the necessity of expanding the EU to counter Russia, the process remains complex and politically challenging, especially during the ongoing war. Immediate challenges include political shifts in Slovakia, grain trade disputes, and slow battlefield progress in Ukraine. US President Biden reassured allies of continued support, but internal US political turmoil raises concerns. EU officials remain optimistic about American support, but funding delays could jeopardize Ukraine's victory. The EU faces the intricate task of integrating new members while managing existing internal conflicts and ensuring compliance with its rules. The timeline for Ukraine's potential membership remains uncertain, with some experts doubting the feasibility of the 2030 target date.

'Charlie Hebdo' republishes Muhammad cartoons ahead of trial for 2015 attacks

01 Sept 2020  |  www.france24.com  |  Spanish  |  Freedom of Speech

On January 7, 2015, the Kouachi brothers attacked the 'Charlie Hebdo' office in Paris, killing 12 people. Two days later, Amedy Coulibaly, an associate of the Kouachi brothers, took hostages in a kosher bakery, killing four before being killed by police. The attacks were claimed by Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. Fourteen suspects will stand trial on September 2, 2020, for their roles in the attacks. 'Charlie Hebdo' will republish the controversial Muhammad cartoons that sparked the attacks. The trial will be broadcast live, featuring testimonies from survivors and victims' families. The French judicial system aims to honor the 17 victims and address the broader implications of the attacks on freedom of speech and terrorism.

Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Faced with Ursula von der Leyen's hesitations, the Twenty-Seven redefine the European message

15 Oct 2023  |  www.lalibre.be  |  French  |  European Union Politics

The European Union, through various leaders and officials, has expressed a unified stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing Israel's right to defend itself while also calling for the protection of civilians and adherence to international law. Ursula von der Leyen's initial focus on solidarity with Israel without mentioning humanitarian law drew criticism, leading to a recalibration of the EU's message to include the importance of a proportionate response and the protection of civilians on all sides. The EU has also increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, reflecting a more balanced approach amidst political tensions and the dire situation in the region.
