An estimated 900 tractors brought Brussels' European quarter to a halt on Monday -- for the second time in a month --... Читать дальше...

Jordanian forces made "four air drops carrying aid for the people of Gaza", under the directive of Jordanian King Abdullah II, a statement said. The operation came on the same day that two human rights groups accused Israel of further limiting humanitarian aid into Gaza -- where the UN has warned of famine -- despite an order from the UN's top court.

Les Bleus have won just once so far this tournament, a narrow win at Scotland, sandwiched between a humbling at home to Ireland and Sunday's 13-13 draw with the Azzurri in Lille. Galthie's out-of-form outfit still seem to be suffering after October's Rugby World Cup quarter-final defeat to South Africa in Paris. "I'm a manager, I'm not the type of person to make swift changes due to pressure," Grill told AFP. "It's not a decision made based on one game, one point and not on a transition period of matches that are difficult. Читать дальше...

"Very little has changed -- let along improved -- since the last data from 2019," it said. Of 3,553 river stretches for which data was available, only 151 had improved and the number of stretches tested had fallen. Читать дальше...

The dashing wing is now just one shy of Stuart Hogg's all-time Scottish mark of 27 tries after his superb hat-trick in Saturday's 30-21 win over England at Murrayfield. Perhaps even more impressive is the South Africa-born Van der Merwe's strike-rate, with his 26 tries for Scotland coming in just 37 Tests. By contrast, recently retired full-back Hogg ended his Scotland career with 27 tries in 100 internationals. Six Nations champions Ireland remain on course for a Grand Slam but the Scots' fourth...
