The coach, who signed a new deal until 2025 this week, celebrated with his 50th victory in La Liga, as Robert Lewandowski's brace and Joao Cancelo's late winner helped his team triumph despite entering the final 10 minutes two goals behind. Jorgen Strand Larsen and Anastasios Douvikas struck for the visitors, who seemed on course for a surprise win against the champions, but Barcelona produced a comeback which Xavi called "epic". "We didn't play well (but) came up with the epic, showing winning character," Xavi told reporters. Читать дальше...

The early evening strike is one of a series that have come amid near-daily protests at the border by Palestinians after Israel closed the Erez crossing from Gaza. A drone "struck a military post belonging to the Hamas terrorist organisation, adjacent to the area where a violent riot was taking place", the army said. It added that "shots were fired toward" Israeli soldiers near the border during the strike, without reporting any casualties. A Palestinian security source told AFP that an "Israeli...

Winger Henry Arundell scored a record-tying five tries for England in his Rugby World Cup debut as newcomer Chile was sliced apart 71-0 on Saturday.

Arundell's contributions helped the 2003 winners move clear at the top of Pool D and a victory over Samoa on October 7 would secure their spot in the knock-out phase. "I can't believe it, it's a bit surreal. I finished the game and thought 'how did that happen?'" Arundell said. "We can't get ahead of yourselves, we are focusing on Samoa now and we want to win the group. "The future can be whatever we want it to be," he added. Captain Owen Farrell, back after suspension, moved to within one point... Читать дальше...

"With the discovery of these four tombs, the total number of tombs in this Roman cemetery, dating from the period between the first century BC and the second century AD, now stands at 134 tombs," said archaeologist Fadel Al-Otol. The discovery marks the first complete Roman necropolis, or cemetery, fully unearthed in Gaza, he told AFP. "Fragments of pottery and metal pieces used in funeral rituals" have been found in the resting places, added Otol. The cemetery is notable for its pyramid-shaped tombs. Читать дальше...

Phil Foden and Erling Haaland struck inside the first 15 minutes as City extended their perfect start in the Premier League to six games. Pep Guardiola's men have now won 20 consecutive home matches in all competitions, but were made to work much harder by Rodri's moment of madness. The Spaniard grabbed Morgan Gibbs-White around the neck less than 60 seconds into the second-half and could face a costly suspension as a three-game ban would see him miss the Premier League visit to Arsenal next month.

Ethiopia's government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) in November last year reached an accord in Pretoria that has largely halted a brutal two-year war. "The implementation of the agreement continues to make significant progress despite some delays in the execution of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process," Deputy Prime Minister Demeke Mekonnen said in a speech to the UN General Assembly. "There is a need to expedite this process and ensure its successful completion," he said. Читать дальше...

Russia will finally have its time on the dais at the UN General Assembly, represented by its foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, and not by President Vladimir Putin.

Pope France on Saturday led tens of thousands of people inside a giant sports stadium in a Catholic mass that is the highlight of his two-day visit to the French Mediterranean city of Marseille.

The National Rejoin March (NRM) gathered near Hyde Park and was due to culminate in Parliament Square as supportive motorists beeped their horns. Protesters brandished placards reading "the road to rejoin the EU starts here", and "rejoin, rejoice". The NRM movement backs a return to membership of the EU which Britain left after voting in favour of Brexit in a 2016 referendum. An exit deal was negotiated under the premiership of former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson and came into force in 2021, with a review set for 2025. Читать дальше...

The Georgians were unbeaten in their previous 18 Test matches against Portugal coming into the Pool C match at Toulouse, winning their most recent by a margin of 27 points in March. But Portugal, backed by a baying partisan crowd, were doughty in defence and expansive in attack, Storti grabbing his two opportunities with aplomb. There was drama to the end when replacement Georgia hooker Tengizi Zamtaradze was driven over to bring the scores level, but Luka Matkava pushed his touchline conversion wide. Читать дальше...

Ducati-Pramac rider Martin started second on the grid and jumped into the lead, while a crash on the first corner saw Marco Bezzecchi slip back from pole position. World champion Bagnaia came second and Marc Marquez completed the podium at the Buddh International Circuit on the outskirts of New Delhi. Bezzecchi's Ducati-VR46 got hit from the rear by teammate Luca Marini, who crashed out along with Stefan Bradl and Pol Espargaro. The race belonged to Martin, who won the previous MotoGP at Misano...

While Fiji look on course to reach the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2007 after beating Australia 22-15 in Pool C, Samoa's own Pool D hopes were dealt a blow in Friday's 19-10 defeat to Argentina. Samoa have not reached the knock-out stages since 1999, when they qualified for the quarter-final play-offs. They have not reached the last eight itself since 1995. Mapusua says Samoa need more matches against Tier 1 nations, but also pointed to the Fijian Drua club side taking part... Читать дальше...

Since September 16, Iranian authorities have been using arrests, death threats and direct attacks to prevent families from celebrating the anniversaries of the deaths of their loved ones killed during the "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests. The aim: to prevent these commemorations from giving rise to new anti-regime demonstrations throughout the country.

Portugal winger Leao netted his third goal in as many league matches in the eighth minute at a sodden San Siro to move Milan up to second on 12 points. Juventus are two points back in fourth and can take temporary lead of Italy's top flight with a win at Sassuolo before Lazio host Monza in Saturday's late match. The 24-year-old's winner was one of the few highlights of a largely uninspiring performance from a much-changed Milan side missing captain Davide Calabria and France pair Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez.

Blundell, who smashed six fours and a six in his second ODI half-century, helped New Zealand recover from 36-3 after stand-in captain Lockie Ferguson won the toss and opted to bat. Henry Nicholls chipped in with 49 runs as the pair added 95 runs for the fourth wicket to steady the New Zealand innings. Bangladesh seized the early momentum in overcast conditions thanks to left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who dismissed openers Will Young for a duck and Finn Allen for 12. Debutant Khaled Ahmed forced... Читать дальше...

MHD, whose real name is Mohamed Sylla, once again insisted on his innocence as he made his final statements before the court retired to render the verdict after three weeks of proceedings.

The prosecutor has asked for an 18-year prison sentence for the rapper, acquittals for two of the accused, and jail sentences of 13-20 years for the others. The verdict is due to be delivered later in the day. Читать дальше...

Defeat to Fiji last weekend has left the Wallabies hopes hanging by a thread and another reverse against Warren Gatland's Wales in Lyon on Sunday would almost certainly see them heading home early from the tournament. Australia made few inroads into Fiji's bruising defence last week in Saint Etienne, but Nawaqanitawase is unbowed and believes they will be able to muscle into the Wales backline. "Wales have always been a strong team with some talented players, I guess we're going to have to put... Читать дальше...

Aiming to prevent Europe from winning for a third time in a row, the Americans led 7-5 with Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz heading the charge towards regaining the Cup. Facing European number one Celine Boutier and Georgia Hall, Korda and Corpuz romped to a 5 and 3 victory in the third match. "Allisen and I played really well today and yesterday and it's great to win both foursomes," said Korda. "We just gelled so well. Allisen is a rookie but she made so many clutch shots." Spain's Carlota... Читать дальше...
