Thousands of people, including left-wing lawmakers, marched in a pro-Palestinian rally in Paris to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Some French leftist politicians have welcomed President Emmanuel Macron's call this week for a ceasefire and opposition to Israel's bombing campaign. FRANCE 24's Antonia Kerrigan reports.

Mbappe opened the scoring in the third minute in Champagne country and then netted twice more in the second half to give PSG a win which moved the reigning champions to the summit a point above Nice, who drew at Montpellier on Friday. PSG were also grateful to goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma who denied Reims a route back into the game with a string of superb saves, as Luis Enrique's team recovered from their midweek Champions League loss away to AC Milan. Mbappe is Ligue 1's leading scorer with 13 goals in 11 appearances this season... Читать дальше...

Ahmed al-Shawa, who sought refuge in the hospital, said he was afraid he would be "cut down by shrapnel", if he stepped outside. "The situation is very, very dangerous," the 18-year-old from Gaza City said as the sound of explosions echoed in the background. Crowds of people have crammed into the corridors of Al-Shifa to escape the fighting in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, adding to the overwhelming number of war casualties at the hospital. The facility was hit repeatedly overnight in a new round... Читать дальше...

A second-half wobble cost the Top 14 champions a bonus point as they moved up to fifth in the table. Neither Pau, who started the weekend in first and beat Bordeaux-Begles 20-11, nor Stade Francais, who gained a rare win in Lyon, 36-32, collected a bonus point. However, Stade moved into top spot thanks to their high-scoring win. In Toulouse, Italian star Ange Capuozzo touched down for the home team after 19 minutes. France's Anthony Jelonch, on his first appearance since the World Cup, added a second and two more World Cup players... Читать дальше...

It was the second successive World Cup where they missed out on a semi-final spot by finishing in fifth place in the 10-nation table. The 2019 debacle led to the end of Arthur's first spell as head coach. "Look, I'll just go back to the Peak District in Derbyshire, I'll be really happy and that'll be okay," said Arthur after overseeing a campaign which brought four wins and five losses, including a defeat to Afghanistan. Arthur did not sever his ties with Derbyshire and only joined up with the... Читать дальше...

Lee, 47, was unseated from his mount Ben Macdui before a race in Newcastle on Friday evening. "He was taken by ambulance to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, where he is in intensive care with a neck injury," read a statement from the Injured Jockeys Fund on Saturday. "He will undergo further tests today to assess the extent of the injury." The Irishman won the Grand National in 2004 upon Amberleigh House. Lee rode more than 1,000 winners over the jumps before switching to riding on the flat in 2012. Читать дальше...

Newcastle also crashed to a shock defeat as Dominik Solanke's double took Bournemouth out of the relegation zone. Rocked by Wednesday's devastating Champions League group stage loss in Copenhagen -- the latest embarrassment in a season of low moments -- United gave Ten Hag some much-needed breathing space thanks to Victor Lindelof's second-half winner. United had suffered five defeats in their previous 10 home games this season, their worst start to a campaign at Old Trafford since 1930-31 when... Читать дальше...

Rocked by Wednesday's devastating Champions League group stage loss in Copenhagen -- the latest embarrassment in a season of low moments -- United gave Ten Hag some much-needed breathing space thanks to Victor Lindelof's second-half winner. United had suffered five defeats in their previous 10 home games this season, their worst start to a campaign at Old Trafford since 1930-31 when they also lost five of 10 and were relegated from the top flight. They were also reeling from three losses in their... Читать дальше...

Many of the protesters yelled "free Palestine" and "stop the genocide" as they participated in the peaceful demonstration that took place on Armistice Day, a public holiday in Belgium and other countries to mark the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. Some also cried out "EU, shame on you" for perceived bias towards Israel at the expense of Palestinian lives and rights. Brussels police, which put the turnout at 21,000, watched over the march and closed traffic on several roads as it wended through the city for two hours. Читать дальше...

Now, he and a team of archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) have turned their skills to finding and identifying the victims of Hamas's bloody October 7 attack. Despite using the same techniques, this is grim work compared to their usual digs. "We needed to go into the burned houses and start doing the archaeological work, which ordinarily is in a pastoral (setting), outdoors, we excavate antiquities, everyone smiling," said Ajami, a career archaeologist and deputy director of the IAA.

But Erik ten Hag was left frustrated after his forwards again failed to fire at Old Trafford. The Swedish defender scored his first goal for nearly three years by smashing in from close range after Luton failed to clear a corner. Lindelof's strike means United's centre-backs have now scored more Premier League goals this season than their forwards. Ten Hag desperately needed a response after his side slumped to a ninth defeat in 17 games this season by losing 4-3 to FC Copenhagen on Wednesday. Читать дальше...

During an audience with a judge conducted Friday by videoconference, the suspects -- both Brazilian nationals in their 30s arrested earlier this week by federal police -- categorically denied all charges, calling them "absurd." "I'm being treated like a criminal, like a terrorist, but I'm neither of those," said one suspect, a resident of Santa Catarina state. The suspects' names were not provided. The operation Wednesday, which included raids elsewhere in Brazil, aimed to disrupt "the preparation... Читать дальше...

The defending champions finished in seventh place in the 10-nation tournament, propped up by rock-bottom Netherlands, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. They won just three matches and were defeated six times including a first loss to Afghanistan. "People will be frustrated and a bit flabbergasted at the way things have gone," Stokes, who made 84 on Saturday, told Sky Sports. "If anyone knows why things have gone how they have gone, they would be a genius. We've struggled to put in consistent performances. Читать дальше...

Even worse for Milan was the loss off Rafael Leao to injury and the sending off of goalscorer Olivier Giroud. Giroud opened the scoring on 28 minutes before Tijjani Reijnders doubled the lead, just four days after Milan's crucial Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain. Down in 14th place in Serie A, Lecce looked buried but came out in the second half with great intent, pulling a goal back at a corner through Nicola Sansone on 66 minutes while Zambian Lameck Banda levelled not long after.

As sea levels continue to rise due to global warming, Tuvalu, a small archipelago in the Pacific, is seeing its territory disappear underwater, threatening the survival of its more than 11,000 inhabitants. A new treaty with Australia, however, will soon allow Tuvaluans to move to the largest country in Oceania, whose greenhouse gas emissions are partly responsible for the islanders’ plight.

The left-wing organisers called for France to "demand an immediate ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas militants. "I came to support the Palestinian cause, for a ceasefire in Gaza," said engineer Ahlem Triki, a Palestinian flag over her shoulders. Hamas's shock October 7 attack killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in Israel and 239 people taken hostage, according to Israeli officials. The Israeli air and ground military campaign in response has left more than 11,000 people in Gaza dead, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Читать дальше...

Since seizing power in a coup in 2020 the African country's military rulers have made a priority of re-establishing sovereignty over all regions and Kidal could become a key battleground. "We are a few dozen kilometres (miles) from Kidal," an army officer told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity. "We are continuing our progress to secure the whole territory." Two local elected representatives, also speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, said there was fighting near Kidal. Читать дальше...

Gerald Rosberg, Columbia University's chair of the special committee on campus safety, said Friday that Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace would be suspended throughout the fall semester.

AFP takes a look at the Shiite Muslim group's firepower and how it has expanded since it fought a war with Israel in 2006. Armed and dangerous Hezbollah is the only Lebanese faction to have retained its weapons after the end of Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war, and is now considered to have a more powerful stockpile than the national army. It is also the most powerful group in the "axis of resistance" -- an alliance of Tehran-supported groups mainly in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and the Palestinian territories. Читать дальше...

Luis Manuel Diaz was freed Thursday. He had been abducted by armed men on motorcycles at a gas station in the town of Barrancas near the Venezuelan border. The ELN, which is in peace negotiations with the government and is party to a six-month ceasefire that took effect in August, described the kidnapping by one of its units as a "mistake." "We have detained four people allegedly responsible for the kidnapping of Luis Manuel Diaz," the National Police of Colombia said in a statement on social media platform X. Читать дальше...

Italy, who last won the competition 10 years ago, triumphed in both semi-final singles rubbers to wrap up victory before the doubles.

The Netherlands play table-toppers India in the tournament's last league match in Bengaluru on Sunday. The Dutch made an early impact at the tournament when they shocked high-flying South Africa. The team, led by Scott Edwards and built around mostly foreign-born players, also defeated Bangladesh. However, they sit bottom of the 10-team table before their ninth and final league game. "I have actually had a few teams' coaches approach me and ask about our schedule and how potentially they could fit into their schedule... Читать дальше...

The Slovak clocked the best times in both runs to crush the opposition with Germany's Lena Duerr second at 1.41sec and Austrian Katharina Liensberger 1.55sec off the pace to move up to third after the second run at the expense of Shiffrin. Shiffrin, the most successful skier in the history of the World Cup with five overall World Cup trophies and a record 88 victories, had been third after the first run but was tenth-best in the second, to finish just off the podium at 1.70sec.
