Il n'est même pas encore adulte, mais Jake Daniels a fait preuve d'une maturité qui dépasse son âge lorsqu'il est devenu le premier footballeur professionnel anglais en activité à faire son coming out ce lundi . Le jeune homme de 17 ans, qui joue à Blackpool, en seconde division anglaise, a été largement salué dans toute l'Europe pour son courage. Mais quelle est la situation ailleurs sur le Vieux Continent  ? En France, aucun footballeur professionnel en activité n'a jamais fait son coming out. Chez les joueurs ayant raccroché les crampons, rares sont ceux qui ont annoncé leur homosexualité, à l'exception de l'ancien attaquant Olivier Rouyer. Ce dernier, qui avait notamment porté les couleurs de Strasbourg, de Lyon et qui fut également international à 17 reprises, a annoncé qu'il était gay en 2008 à l'issue de sa carrière. Le week-end dernier, dans le cadre de la journée mondiale contre l’homophobie du 17 mai, les joueurs de Ligue 1 et de Ligue … [Read more...] about Footballeurs pro et coming out : quelle est la situation en Europe?

The quick acceptance of Ukrainians fleeing Russia's aggression puts a spotlight on Europe's “double standard” for migrants, standing against its non-welcome for people fleeing violence in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere, the head of the world's largest humanitarian network said on Monday (NZT Tuesday). Francesco Rocca, president of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said he doesn't think “there is any difference" between someone fleeing eastern Ukraine's Donbas region and someone escaping the Boko Haram extremist group in Nigeria . “Those who are fleeing violence, those who are seeking protection, should be treated equally,” said Rocca, whose organisation operates in more than 192 countries with almost 15 million volunteers. Speaking at a news conference, he said there is “a moral imperative” to help people escaping violence and upheavals, and “the political, public and humanitarian response to the Ukraine crisis has shown what is … [Read more...] about Europe accused of ‘double-standard’ on Ukrainian refugees

By James Waterhouse Published 23 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Related Topics Russia-Ukraine war At first, I couldn't see the damage to Ivan Simoroz's parents' home in the Ukrainian town of Borodyanka, near Kyiv. Then I realised that was because there was nothing left that resembled a home. As the 26-year-old stood on the rubble, in his police uniform, it felt impossible to process the devastation that surrounded him. This report contains material some readers may find disturbing "On 26 February, we were chatting at the police station, and then we heard a loud boom," recalls Ivan. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was two days old and had quickly targeted towns in the Kyiv region as they looked to close in on the capital. "The ground was shaking, I started calling each of my relatives, my wife, brother, mother, father, grandma - they … [Read more...] about Ukraine: The police officer who lost his family in one Russian strike

Le come-back de Christian Eriksen. Le miraculé danois vient de signer dans un club anglais de Premier League. Christian Eriksen : le nom de ce footballeur danois ne vous dit peut-être pas grand chose. Et pourtant, on se souvient de lui, en plein match de l'Euro, contre la Finlande. C'était le Le 12 juin. Le meneur de jeu de l'Inter Milan et de la sélection danoise s'écroule, victime d'un arrêt cardiaque. Le staff médical parvient à le sauver in extremis. Euro 2021 : un joueur s'effondre en plein match avant de reprendre connaissance Sept mois plus tard, le joueur va mieux.

L'Ukraine demande ce lundi à la Cour internationale de justice de rendre une décision d'urgence pour que la Russie mette fin à l'invasion. Pour Kyiv, les raisons invoquées par Moscou pour justifier son invasion se fondent sur une interprétation erronée de la Convention sur le génocide. Le président russe Vladimir Poutine avait déclaré que "l'action militaire de la Russie était nécessaire pour protéger les personnes qui sont victimes de génocide" dans les régions de Donetsk et de Lougansk. Normalement les décisions de la CIJ sont contraignantes, et les pays essaient de les respecter. Toutefois, la Cour n’a aucun moyen de les faire appliquer. Washington : "Moscou a commis des crimes de guerre en Ukraine" De son côté, le chef de la diplomatie américaine Antony Blinken, qui était en Lituanie dans le cadre d'une tournée des pays membres de l'OTAN en Europe, affirme avoir reçu des informations faisant état de violations commises par les Russes. "Nous avons vu des … [Read more...] about Kyiv veut une décision d’urgence de la Cour Internationale de Justice

I t was never the most picturesque place – a grimy industrial port, dominated by a Soviet steelworks known as one of Europe’s worst pollution blackspots. But while the Ukrainian city of Mariupol was unlikely to grace a tourist brochure, no shortage of people proved willing to die for the right to call it their own. Today, the once-obscure port on the Azov Sea is destined for a place in history books, as the scene of some of the fiercest urban combat the 21st century has seen – and a reminder of the kind of warfare Europe hoped to have turned the page on. On Tuesday, following a siege lasting 82 days, Russia finally claimed the “surrender” of the city, after more than 200 Ukrainian fighters holed up in the city’s Azovstal steel plant handed themselves into Kremlin custody. The fighters, some badly wounded, did so as part of a deal between Moscow and Kyiv which will see them returned home in exchange for Russian PoWs. For the Kremlin, the end of Mariupol’s remaining pocket of … [Read more...] about Descent into hell: The fall of Mariupol

Paul Paolucci, the top cop for one of the world’s biggest credit card companies, sure had some interesting friends. One made a fortune fronting for pornography websites that needed access to Mastercard’s and Visa’s payment networks. Paolucci, who oversaw Mastercard’s merchant fraud control, was photographed cavorting around the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel with him and a group of women in white corset minidresses. A second was a Lamborghini-driving e-commerce mogul with whom Paolucci used to celebrate family holidays. The mogul ended up in prison for a financial crime he committed, in part, using Mastercard’s network. An executive at a famously corrupt European bank claimed to have dined with Paolucci and gotten his help evading Mastercard’s regulations. It was Paolucci’s job to make sure that the banks and companies using Mastercard’s network were playing by the rules. He bent those rules himself by getting close to the very kinds of high-risk businesses he was supposed to be … [Read more...] about Two-Card Monte: Why Mastercard And Visa Rarely Shut Down Scammers Who Are Ripping Off Consumers

Goat and sheep herders burned bales of hay and spilt milk outside Cyprus' Presidential Palace on Tuesday in a protest over the traditional Cypriot cheese -- Halloumi. The rubbery cheese was given protected designation of origin product, or PDO status last April, meaning it can only be produced in Cyprus under strict criteria, preventing imitators worldwide from copying it. But farmers are angry over delays in the PDO's implementation. They claim there has been a lack of audits in its production with ingredients such as powdered milk being used. Halloumi’s PDO file states it must be produced with goat and sheep milk produced by local breeds. "We're against violence, but logic goes out the window when we're hungry and our animals are dying," a farmer said. Another stressed: "If the government doesn't want us, they can compensate people and we'll change profession". Could halloumi be a diplomatic driving force in Cyprus? Cyprus looks to offload halloumi … [Read more...] about Cyprus farmers spill milk in protest over halloumi cheese protection
