Farah set the prior world indoor best of 8:03.40 in 2015 at Birmingham, England. "It was always going to be really tough, small margins," Kerr said.

"The exit from fossil fuels must begin now by rejecting this project," said Natalie Herve, a spokeswoman for the group. Thunberg was in the region after making an appearance Saturday at a demonstration against a local highway, where on Sunday police used tear gas to clear protesters who were blocking a railway.

"Argylle" took in just an estimated $6.5 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported -- and that despite a cast including Dua Lipa, Henry Cavill, John Cena and Ariana DeBose, with Bryce Dallas Howard as a spy novelist who gets in over her head. Given the Apple co-production's budget of $200 million -- and its sharp drop from an $18 million opening weekend -- Variety has declared it "the year's first big bomb." "Lisa Frankenstein," a new release from Focus Features... Читать дальше...

The 8,000-seat Arena Porte de la Chapelle, which sits just inside the capital's ring road, is a key part of regeneration efforts centred on one of Paris's most deprived neighbourhoods. The Porte de la Chapelle area, which will host badminton and rhythmic gymnastics during the Paris 2024 Games, was until recently the scene of so-called "crack hill", a meeting place for up to 300 addicts at its worst in 2020. Since becoming a symbol of the capital's drugs problems, police have stepped up patrols... Читать дальше...

In 2011, Khalidi was active during rare demonstrations in eastern Saudi Arabia... Читать дальше...

The world number five, who started the year with a title in Brisbane, added a seventh trophy to her resume and is now joint-second on the match-wins leaderboard with 11 victories to her name in 2024. Light rain provided some late drama as it briefly interrupted the final game of the contest, with players instructed to wait on their benches with Rybakina leading 6-1, 5-4, 30/30. It was only a short delay though as the 2022 Wimbledon champion closed out the win with two good serves on the 68-minute mark. Читать дальше...

It seemed Wales were on course for a first win at Twickenham since 2015 when they led 14-5 at half-time on Saturday.

Afghanistan, set a target of 309 to level the series, were shot out for 153 inside 34 overs as leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga starred with four wickets. Afghanistan were well placed at 128 for one in pursuit of their target, but once Rahmat Shah (54) and Ibrahim Zadran (63) were dismissed there was little fight from the rest of the batters. The pair had added 97 runs for the second wicket and Asitha Fernando, playing his first ODI in 15 months, provided the breakthrough by having Ibrahim caught behind. Читать дальше...

England were 14-5 down at half-time but Northampton centre Dingwall's 63rd-minute score meant they closed to within a point at 13-14.

England then defended well to complete a 16-14 success on Saturday as they made it two wins out of two following a narrow 27-24 victory over Italy in Rome, where they also overturned a half-time deficit.

Foreign governments, including Israel's key ally the United States, and aid groups have voiced deep concern over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's vow to extend operations. Rafah, on the border with Egypt, has remained the last refuge for Palestinians fleeing Israel's relentless bombardment elsewhere in the Gaza Strip in its four-month war against Hamas, triggered by the group's October 7 attack. "Any attack by the occupation army on the city of Rafah would torpedo the exchange negotiations,"... Читать дальше...
