With a shade over 24 hours until England host Austria at a sold-out Old Trafford, a handful of construction workers are busy building a fan park in Manchester city center. A few kilometers northeast of the building site, UEFA's Chief of Women's Football takes to the stage in a stadium hospitality room. "I feel so many different kinds of emotions but can't wait for it to get started now," said Nadine Kessler , who won 29 caps for Germany between 2010 and 2016. "I really think it's completely incomparable to when I played. I might need to be a bit provocative, but I think in my days people were more concerned with how my jersey fit than the result. We've come a long way." The buildup to the tournament has seen plenty of reflection on the growth of the game in recent years. But the day before it starts, with unfinished fan parks, sporadic advertising boards and a reported shortage of England women's shirts in major sports shops, there is a sense that organizers may not have foreseen … [Read more...] about Euro 2022: Is England ready for the biggest tournament yet?

Auberon Waugh's death at the age of 61 is more sad than surprising. His immediate heredity wasn't promising - his father died at 62, his mother at 57 - and he suffered from ill-health all his life, partly resulting from severe wounds sustained during National Service at the age of 18. That may, in part, have accounted for the acidic personality which made him the most verbally brutal journalist of his age. Everyone who met him remarked on the contrast between his ferocity in print and his personal geniality, but this was hard to explain to those who didn't know him, especially if they had been on the rough end of his pen. Apart from health, his background shaped his career in one other respect. He spent much of his life trying to escape from the shadow of his father, the greatest English novelist of his age. This provided an obvious weapon for Auberon's enemies. Philip Larkin joked about "my projected series, Talentless Sons of Famous Fathers - Waugh, Amis, Fuller...", and for … [Read more...] about Auberon Waugh

A foszforbombák használatát nem tiltja a nemzetközi jog, a bevetés módját azonban korlátozza. Ukrajna szerint Oroszország az ukrajnai invázió során ezen a téren (is) megsértette már a nemzetközi jogot. A foszforbomba emberre mért károsító hatása kegyetlen . Ukrán tisztviselők állítják: az orosz erők több alkalommal is foszforbombákat vetettek be Ukrajna különböző területein. Legutóbb múlt pénteken vádolták meg Oroszországot azzal, hogy foszforbombákkal támadták a Kígyó-szigetre, ami ismét ukrán fennhatóság alá került azok után, hogy az oroszok kivonták onnan a hadseregüket .

Szakértők szerint a Sovcomflot hajózási társaság álcázta a hajói tulajdonjogát azzal, hogy leányvállalatokat alapított más országokban, és hogy hajóik már nem orosz felségjel alatt hajóznak. A trükközés eredményeként a kőolajat és földgázt nyugati valutáért adja el a társaság, amiből Oroszország tovább finanszírozhatja az ukrajnai inváziót . Február 24-én Oroszország megtámadta Ukrajnát, minek következtében az Európai Unió és az Amerikai Egyesült Államok is azonnali szankciókkal sújtotta a Oroszországot. Ennek ellenére egy, az orosz állam által is szponzorált hajózási társaság továbbra is nyersolajat szállít európai kikötőkbe – írja az OCCRP oknyomozó projekt a vállalat nyilvántartásának és a hajók nyomonkövetésének elemzése alapján. Az OCCRP cikke szerint az orosz állami támogatású Sovcomflot flottaüzemeltető tulajdonában lévő tartályhajók továbbra is szállítanak európai kikötőkbe, amivel az orosz nyersolajimport korlátozását megcélzó szankciók ellenére nyugati devizát keresnek … [Read more...] about Kijátszott szankciók: orosz tankerek adhatnak el kőolajat és földgázt az Európai Unió kikötőiben

By Shaimaa Khalil Published 20 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing In the town of Windsor, north-west of Sydney, some roads have turned into small rivers. And the only way to get around is by boat. Mathew Benson has been rowing up and down one of the streets in a neighbourhood in the suburb of Australia's largest city. "I'm bringing food and water to people over there," he tells me, pointing to the other side. "We're just watching and waiting." While some cars are barely visible, others are completely submerged. Many residents in the area have had to leave their homes and others are stranded as roads have been cut off. Thousands have been left without power.

Published 24 March 2016 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing The killing of criminal lawyer Joseph "Pino" Acquaro in Melbourne sheds light on the hidden machinations of the 'Ndrangheta, says Australian crime writer Adam Shand. Liborio Benvenuto, who died in 1988, was the last of the old-time Australian godfathers. He understood his power but also its limits. His protege Joseph "Pino" Acquaro, who was murdered in a Melbourne street last week, was not so wise. Benvenuto became the leader of The Honoured Society, a Melbourne-based Calabrian mafia group, after a bloody internal battle in the early 1960s dubbed the Market Wars. He presided over a quarter century of relative peace until he died of natural causes in 1988. It was Benvenuto who encouraged Acquaro, the son of a prominent accountant in the Calabrian community, to become a lawyer. Violence was bad for business, so a … [Read more...] about Lawyer’s murder hints at secrets of Australia mafia
