It is not something she is proud of, but, as the 27-year-old admits, it was bitterness that inspired Beth Mead’s outstanding season for Arsenal and return to prominence with England. As one of Sarina Wiegman’s in-form players prepares for the start of this summer’s European Championship on home soil , she reflects on “the lowest point of her career”, and the horrible emotions that came with it. This time last year Mead was in a dark and twisted frame of mind. Left out of an England training camp , long before she was told she would not be going to the Olympics, the forward reveals she spent much of last summer wanting Team GB to fail. Hurt and annoyed, the former Sunderland player was plagued by negative thoughts to the point that she wanted some of those picked to underperform. She wanted people to realise it was a mistake to leave her at home. Mead hated herself for it, but the feelings of rejection had caused this uncharacteristic animosity. She did not blame Hege Riise, … [Read more...] about Beth Mead exclusive: ‘I wanted my team-mates to do badly’

What is this race and why should I care about it? Why, it's only the 109th edition of the Tour de France , one of the three grand tours, the others being the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España . Regardless of what some believe, this is the biggest and brashest bike race in the world, with an estimated 80 per cent of most WorldTour team's sponsorship income being based around the Tour. Founded in 1903 by Henri Desgrange, editor of L'Auto newspaper, the Tour may not be the favourite stage race of the cycling cognoscenti but it is one that captures the imagination of the wider sporting public. As a result, the race is the biggest annual sporting event in the world with more live spectators than even the Olympics or football World Cup. When does the Tour de France start? This year's Tour de France started with a 13.2-kilometre individual time trial through Copenhagen , the capital of Denmark, on Friday July 1, 2022. How long is this year's Tour de France?

The European Union is creating a new payment mechanism to allow countries to legally trade with Iran amid US sanctions. Here’s everything you need to know about the deal. What exactly did the EU and Iran agree to? Following a meeting with the foreign ministers of China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK and Iran, the EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini announced that new payment channels would be created to bypass US sanctions against Tehran. “EU Member States will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with Iran and this will allow European companies to continue trade with Iran, in accordance with European Union law, and could be opened to other partners in the world,” she explained. A joint statement said the six countries remained committed to the 2015 nuclear agreement and wanted to see “its full and effective implementation in good faith and in a constructive atmosphere". The "special purpose vehicle" aims to "assist … [Read more...] about How does the EU plan to bypass US sanctions against Iran? | Euronews Answers

A delegation of Cabinet ministers are set to meet Boris Johnson at No10 as he heads out of a car crash Liaison Committee meeting this evening to tell him to go. 'Men in grey suits' Welsh Secretary Simon Hart, grim-faced Transport Secretary Grant Shapps and Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis are set to tell the Prime Minister he had lost the confidence of his party. The revelation the PM knew about claims against “grope” accused MP Chris Pincher, then promoted him, then “forgot” he’d been told, was the last straw for many MPs. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and health secretary Sajid Javid led the way yesterday for a wave of Tory resignations . The doomed PM has seen dozens of his own MPs quit in 24 hours, including ministers, parliamentary private secretaries and trade envoys. Meanwhile, Tories have discussed changing the rules of no confidence votes - to force the PM out as soon as next week if he opts to squat in No10. In a day of feverish drama at Westminster the … [Read more...] about Boris Johnson leadership LIVE: Cabinet members queue up to tell PM he must quit

We are now several months into the conflict with Russia. I say “we” because we are all pretending here in the West that the real war is between Russia and Ukraine but (nod nod wink wink) if we clandestinely, in some sense, provide full support to Ukraine then maybe the Russians, foolish and backward as they are won’t notice and we can simultaneously pretend that we aren’t flirting with the prospect of a long, arduous and inconceivably destructive war. I want to say at the outside that I think what Putin has done is unconscionable; God only knows what the impact will be, as all four of the horsemen of the apocalypse are on the march again. I think that the collusion of the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church is even more unforgivable. Be that as it may, I also believe that the attempt to deeply understand the motive forces for this war, as it is very difficult to set things right (let alone avoid a similar future catastrophe—or even to stop this conflict from spreading) in the … [Read more...] about PETERSON: Russia Vs.

They say it ain’t over until the fat lady sings, but in the end Boris Johnson’s problem was that he was humming a different tune to the rest of his Cabinet. Like a toddler with his fingers stuck in his ears, screaming: “La, la, la”, the Prime Minister appeared tone deaf to the disquiet among colleagues over his failure to hit the right note in response to a string of scandals. After the savageries of partygate, only a pitch perfect response to the resignation of Chris Pincher, the deputy chief whip,  would do. Yet instead what they got on Tuesday was a Rocky Horror Show with Mr Johnson stuck in a Time Warp of self-delusion. Everyone else could see the show was over but – ever the showman – the Prime Minister was hoping for some sort of cake-and-eat it encore. After a day of drama which saw Dominic Raab, the Justice Secretary, stumbling over his lines, and Michael Ellis, the Paymaster General, performing to empty front bench seats in the Commons, Downing Street: The … [Read more...] about The PM is stuck in a Time Warp of self-delusion.
