Gut-Behrami finished only ninth behind Italian Marta Bassino in the first leg, but produced a fast second to claim victory in a combined time of 1min 59.27sec. The result saw the Swiss racer surge to 1,214 points in the overall standings, five ahead of Shiffrin, who suffered a knee injury in a downhill at Cortina last month and has yet to fix a return date.

Odermatt put in a solid risk-free first run to finish 0.35sec up on Norwegian Alexander Steen Olsen. And he extended that advantage in the second run to beat Steen Olsen, who was taking his first giant slalom podium, by 0.91sec. Austria's Manuel Feller came in third at 1.08sec.

London mayor Sadiq Khan warned Saturday that Eurostar passengers going from Britain to the continent face "chaos" once a new computerised border scheme proposed by the European Union takes effect.

Candidates backed by former Pakistani premier Imran Khan's party plan to form a government, a senior aide to the jailed politician said, calling on supporters to peacefully protest if final election results were not released. The nuclear-armed South Asian nation voted on Thursday in a general election, as the country struggles to recover from an economic crisis and battles militant violence in a deeply polarised political environment. Both Khan and three-time former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declared victory on Friday. Читать дальше...

Climate activist Greta Thunberg on Saturday joined a banned anti-motorway protest in southern France where police fired tear gas and made arrests a day earlier.

Even before such an operation, Israel pounded Rafah with strikes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to set its sights on the southern city. Netanyahu on Friday told officials to "submit to the cabinet a combined plan for evacuating the population and destroying the battalions" of Hamas in Rafah, only hours after US President Joe Biden issued his strongest criticism of Israel's response to the October 7 attack. The plan drew condemnation from the office of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas. Читать дальше...

"I am so scared," she had said in a desperate phone call to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. "Call someone to come get me, please." But after more than two weeks of frantic efforts to reach her, Hind's body was recovered on Saturday, alongside relatives and two PRCS rescue workers sent to find her. The aid agency and the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip confirmed the grim discovery, and blamed Israeli forces. The Palestinian militant group Hamas urged human rights groups and the...

But the prospect of Horner's fate being decided before the Formula One world champions unveil their 2024 car next week appears unlikely. Reports in Britain's Press Association and the BBC suggest there was still no resolution to the affair after the 50-year-old Briton, who has been team principal since 2005, was interviewed for eight hours. There was no comment from Red Bull Racing, nor parent company Red Bull GmbH, which launched the investigation following an accusation from a female employee - a claim Horner has categorically denied.

Eight direct spots and one intercontinental playoff berth are up for grabs for Asian Football Confederation sides at the expanded 48-team World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Asian Cup in Qatar, which concludes with Saturday's final between the hosts and Jordan, suggests that the region's traditional heavyweights now have some serious competition.

The last time Hind Rajab had been seen was about two weeks ago when she was surrounded by dead relatives after becoming trapped in the vehicle as they tried to flee Gaza City as Israeli forces advanced. "Hind and everyone else in the car is martyred," the girl's grandfather, Baha Hamada told AFP. A number of family members made the grim discovery when they went to Gaza City's Tel al-Hawa area looking for the car near a petrol station where it had last been spotted, he said. "They were able to... Читать дальше...

Argentina had announced a tour in China from March 18 to 26, during which it was to face Nigeria in Hangzhou and Ivory Coast in Beijing. But last week a high-profile friendly between Inter Miami and a select XI in Hong Kong sparked jeers and calls for refunds, after Messi did not take to the field, citing injury. Some nationalist politicians and outlets have interpreted the no-show in the 4-1 Inter Miami win -- and Messi's subsequent appearance at a similar match in Japan -- as a snub to China, without offering evidence.

Removing cars from an expanse around the Eiffel Tower to create a green pathway sounds pretty good on paper, but the mayor of Paris is struggling to win over residents and above all the police force to revamp one of the city's most celebrated views.

On the eve of the ceremony, actor Sigourney Weaver, who is to be honoured at the event, addressed the affair at a news conference. Saturday night's ceremony, which will see director Pedro Almodovar and actor Penelope Cruz presenting several awards, comes a fortnight after three women told El Pais they had suffered sexual violence at the hands of filmmaker Carlos Vermut. All have asked to remain anonymous and none has filed a police complaint for fear of the effect on their careers. Interviewed by the newspaper... Читать дальше...

Israeli air strikes killed at least 28 Palestinians in Rafah early Saturday, hours after Israel's prime minister said he asked the military to plan for the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people from the southern Gaza city ahead of a ground invasion. Israeli strikes also targeted the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus early Saturday, the Syrian military said. Read our live blog for all the latest developments

Thousands of tourists jostle every day to snap the Eiffel Tower from across the River Seine on the hill at Trocadero, with its magnificent gardens and a modernist palace housing museums. Walking to Trocadero is less romantic, however, requiring the crossing of two major intersections and the often traffic-clogged Pont d'Iena bridge. Mayor Anne Hidalgo said to general surprise this week that she wants to push ahead with a project to kick out the cars and create a continuous garden between the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadero esplanade.

To a hip-hop and disco-heavy soundscape curated by DJ Questlove evocative of the city's recent past, Hilfiger showcased a strong campus look set off by book bags, varsity ties and nearly ubiquitous baseball caps. Under Rafael Guastavino's tiled vaulted ceilings in New York's Grand Central station oyster bar, 72-year-old Hilfiger dazzled Manhattan's glitterati with a stream of blazers and chunky knitwear over crisp cotton button-up shirts with wide 90s collars. "We're coming out of the baggy era,"... Читать дальше...

Communities in Ontario and neighboring Manitoba provinces declared a state of emergency as the warm spell made the network of ice roads -- which across Canada spans more than 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles) between dispersed populations -- unpassable. Many remote communities in Canada's north depend on ice roads -- compacted snow and ice atop frozen ground, lakes and rivers -- for deliveries of essentials including fuel, equipment, non-perishable goods, as well as construction materials to build housing and infrastructure.

"I feel like living in New York, a lot can happen in a day. So I feel like I want to provide a tool for you to be ready for whatever it takes," said Vietnamese-American designer Peter Do following the show. An in-demand designer who also heads his own line, Do was tasked with reinventing Helmut Lang's chic and minimalist aesthetic, which shaped fashion in the 1990s and 2000s, before the Austrian designer quit. Now the brand belongs to Japanese giant Fast Retailing, which also owns Uniqlo. Under... Читать дальше...

Striker Niclas Fuellkrug, celebrating his 31st birthday, laid on both goals for the Netherlands winger, before grabbing one of his own in the dying stages. The win sends Dortmund four points clear of fifth-placed RB Leipzig, with the Saxons playing at Augsburg on Saturday.

"From the start we had the right intensity and scored at the right moments," Malen told DAZN. Читать дальше...

"Six months from the end of his contract, Youcef Atal leaves OGC Nice for Turkey," Nice said in a statement. "The club wishes him good luck for the rest of his career." The 27-year-old right-back was handed an eight-month suspended sentence by a court in the Riviera city last month. He shared a video to his Instagram account five days after Hamas' October 7 assault on Israel, showing a preacher, Mahmoud Al Hasanat, calling for a "black day for the Jews". He was also fined 45,000 euros ($49,000). Читать дальше...
