World Cup captains will not wear OneLove armband due to Fifa ‘sanctions’ – BBC News

Published

on



England, Wales and other European nations will not wear the OneLove armband at the World Cup in Qatar because of the threat of players being booked.

The captains of nine countries, including England’s Harry Kane and Gareth Bale of Wales, had planned to wear the armband to promote diversity and inclusion.

A joint statement from seven football associations said they could not put their players “in a position where they could face sporting sanctions”.

“We are very frustrated by the Fifa decision which we believe is unprecedented,” the statement read.

“We were prepared to pay fines that would normally apply to breaches of kit regulations and had a strong commitment to wearing the armband.

“However, we cannot put our players in the situation where they might be booked or even forced to leave the field of play”, the statement added.

    At this point, they just want to spite Qataris and show them that they don't care about the county's traditions and values. Qatar isn't a country notoriously known for abusing LGBT people. Even if you want to look at it from a democracy perspective, the vast majority of their citizens wouldn't want this, who the hell do these people think they are trying to shove their values down others' throats just because they had the audacity to host the world cup. The Emir of Qatar said everyone's welcome when asked if gay people will be allowed, but it's clear as day these disgusting people just want to agitate the locals as opposed to advocating gay rights….just piss off!

    God only forbids anything that will damage his people from the inside out, and orders what is good for his people too.. really God doesn't want anything from us, from us back to us

    normally God has emphasized and repeated it in the Koran, do not let humans make damage, or destroy something that has been created properly, according to its function, so if there has been a destruction of that balance, just wait for the consequences

Published

A fire at a popular nightclub in the coastal region of Goa in India has killed 25 people, according to local officials.

Most of the victims are believed to be staff at the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub, located near a popular beach. Tourists are also said to be among the dead.

Police believe a gas cylinder exploded in the club’s kitchen, causing a blaze to rip through the venue on Saturday at midnight local time.

Most of the bodies were found near the kitchen “suggesting that the victims were employed at the club”, said Alok Kumar, Goa’s Director General of Police.

Goa’s chief minister Pramod Sawant said “three to four” tourists had died but did not provide their ages or nationalities.

The Royal Navy has unveiled some of the ways it plans to counter what the government regards as an increasingly serious threat from Russia to the UK’s undersea infrastructure.

They include new technologies and prototypes, such as unmanned surface vessels, helicopters and autonomous submarine gliders.

The Ministry of Defence said in a statement that the programme was “in direct response to the resurgence in Russian submarine and underwater activity”.

The government says there has been a 30% increase in the number of Russian vessels threatening UK waters in the last two years.

Russia says its the UK government that’s being provocative.

Volodymyr Zelensky due to meet European leaders for high-level Ukraine talks | BBC News

Published

on



Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is meeting key European leaders in London on Monday, as Ukraine’s allies plan their response to an ongoing US push for Kyiv to accept concessions in peace talks.

The leaders of France and Germany will join Zelensky and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at No 10 Downing Street as they seek to ensure any deal deters a future Russian attack.

The high-level meeting follows three days of talks in Florida, where Zelensky’s chief negotiator pushed for changes to a White House plan widely considered to accommodate central Kremlin demands.

The US and Ukraine said there was progress but US President Donald Trump appeared to criticise Zelensky on Sunday, saying he “hasn’t read” the draft.
