The haunting stories told by young students who were forced to play dead as a heavily armed gunman continued a methodical spree -- killing 19 students and two teachers -- have been underscored by accounts of the slow reaction by police during the drama.

Cornet, playing at her 61st consecutive Grand Slam, called it quits while trailing her 19-year-opponent 6-0, 3-0 on Court Philippe Chatrier. "What is amazing that people had the cheek to boo me on the court when I had to abandon the match. And it was because I was in pain," said Cornet, whose left thigh was heavily strapped. "But sometimes the French audience surprises me and not always in a good way." Cornet had spoken about how the crowd "carried" her in a second-round win over 2017 Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko. Читать дальше...

Team chiefs representing Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull told reporters at the Monaco Grand Prix on Saturday that it was inevitable due to global inflation, notably in the cost of air freight.

Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto said: "There will be no way for us to stay below – at some stage, we will go... Читать дальше...

Michelle Bachelet's long-planned trip this week has taken her to the far-western region, where Beijing is accused of the detention of over a million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, forced sterilisation of women and coerced labour.

The visit by the nine-member delegation to the region is the latest stage in a case the plaintiffs hope will set a new worldwide precedent.
