Trump accuses Zelensky of 'gambling with World War III'

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 00:50:00 +0000

Donald Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of ‘gambling with lives of millions of people’ and ‘World War III’ during a heated White House meeting on Friday.

After the exchange, Zelensky abruptly left the White House without signing a final deal that would have given the US some control over Ukraine’s rare-earth minerals.

Donadel urges Montreal to build on recent wins for upcoming Miami test

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 23:46:00 +0000

CF Montreal head coach Marco Donadel insists his side must build on their recent wins to climb up the Eastern Conference.

Montreal are currently bottom of the East, but have won two of their last three games to leave them within touching distance of Toronto FC and Atlanta United.

They beat New York City FC 1-0 and Houston Dynamo 3-1, on either side of a 3-1 defeat to FC Cincinnati in their last three matches, and Donadel was over the moon with their win over NYCFC.

“We need this kind [of game] to get something back from what we are working for,” said Donadel.

“The players gave everything against every kind of difficulty. They really gave everything; they kept with the game plan. It was a very good performance.

“The sensation that the players gave me was that we were completely in control of the game until something happened, and then, when something happened, the players’ reaction, because they were very confident, was to push.”

Montreal left-back Luca Petrasso added: “The win is giving us a big boost, especially going in to play Miami at home, and then the Canadian Championship is coming up, which is very important for us.”

— CF Montréal (@cfmontreal) July 2, 2025

Inter Miami return from Club World Cup action, having been the only MLS club to reach the knockout rounds of the tournament, but they ultimately lost 4-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.

They currently sit sixth in the table, 11 points behind leaders Philadelphia Union, though they have played four fewer matches.

Head coach Javier Mascherano is confident Miami will benefit from the experience they got on the Club World Cup stage.

“There’s a huge lesson to be learned from here,” he said.” We’re going to be reviewing all of this, and I think that they go hand in hand now if we are going to be able to take stock of this experience.

“I think that this is going to help us [back in MLS]. It goes without saying that it depends on our own personal intelligence that we have at our disposal as a team to be able to leverage this experience.”

PLAYERS TO WATCH

CF Montreal – Prince Osuwu

Prince Owusu has caught the eye for Montreal this season. He leads the club with seven goals, two of those having been the tone-setting first of the match.

The forward has scored three in his last three MLS matches, helping Montreal build some momentum.

Inter Miami – Lionel Messi

Miami’s most productive player in attack has been Lionel Messi, who has scored on 10 occasions.

Messi has also registered five assists this season, with only three players directly contributing to more MLS goals this season.

MATCH PREDICTION – INTER MIAMI WIN

Prior to their current stretch, Montreal had won just one game over their 19 matches played in 2025 across all competitions (D6 L12).

Miami have scored at least three goals in six of their last eight league matches after doing so once in their first eight MLS matches of 2025.

In their last six league matches, Montreal have won two, drawn one and lost three. Inter Miami, meanwhile, have won two, drawn two and lost two in their last six.

Hosts Montreal will seek to address a poor run of results at home this season with three draws, five losses, and just one win in nine MLS contests.

OPTA WIN PROBABILITY

CF Montreal – 23%

Draw – 22.8%

Inter Miami – 53.0%

Europe’s Heat Wave Persists, Moving Eastward

The heat wave moved toward Germany after affecting southwestern Europe, including Spain and France, earlier this week.

“Yes, this year is the hardest year I’ve seen since 15 years I’m living here in Germany. I’m from Kurdistan. We’re normally children of the sun. But for me, it’s too hot. We drink some water. Good water at work 5 liters, 6 liters.” “We have just received an email and the tickets are canceled. And we bought all of them three years ago. But, just for the heat, it’s not possible to go upstairs. So, I don’t know.”

Wolves unveil 2025/26 home kit featuring unique twist

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 23:46:00 +0000

Wolverhampton Wanderers have revealed their new home shirt for the 2025/26 season – and it comes with a unique twist.

The SUDU-manufactured kit stays true to Wolves’ tradition, retaining the iconic old gold base, paired with a bold black V-neck collar and black trim on the sleeves – a clear nod to the club’s classic strips.

Look closer, though, and you’ll spot something different. The shirt’s front features a subtle debossed print, highlighting the symmetry and detail of the historic Molineux Pleasure Grounds – a public park once known for its ornamental terraces, exhibitions, concerts, and even balloon ascents.

With its almost Aztec-style pattern, the design adds a fresh, modern layer to a timeless Wolves look.

“It’s a modern day take on a classic Wolves shirt,” club historian Peter Crump said. “It’s traditional from the 1970s era – almost a modern twist on the three wolf head shirt from the 1974 League Cup.

“The ‘70s is a well revered era at Wolves, so lots of the fans remember it with great fondness. We’ve got a great history, and we should celebrate it, and there’s no reason why the modern day and history can’t be combined,” he added.

The professional edition of the shirt, worn by the Wolves first team and academy, includes strategic mesh side panels for better airflow, along with lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric to boost performance on the pitch.

The 2025/26 home kit is available now via Wolves’ official online store, club shop and selected retailers.

Map: Tracking Tropical Storm Flossie

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 22:50:00 +0000

Flossie was a tropical storm in the North Pacific Ocean Monday afternoon Mexico Central Time, the National Hurricane Center said in its latest advisory.

The tropical storm had sustained wind speeds of 65 miles per hour.

All times on the map are Mexico Central Time. By The New York Times

The outer bands of Flossie were expected to bring locally heavy rainfall to the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima and Jalisco through midweek. Rainfall totals between three and six inches were expected, with isolated totals of 10 inches.

The Hurricane Center warned that the rain may lead to life-threatening flooding and mudslides, particularly in areas of steep terrain.

A tropical storm warning was issued for portions of southwestern Mexico, where tropical storm conditions were expected late on Monday through Tuesday.

What does the storm look like from above?

Satellite imagery can help determine the strength, size and cohesion of a storm. The stronger a storm becomes, the more likely an eye will form in the center. When the eye looks symmetrical, that often means the storm is not encountering anything to weaken it.

Flossie is the sixth named storm to form in the Eastern Pacific in 2025.

Storms that form in the Atlantic or the Pacific generally move west, meaning Atlantic storms pose a greater threat to North America. If a storm forms in the Pacific close to land, it can bring damaging winds and rain before pushing out to sea.

However, an air mass can sometimes block a storm, driving it north or northeast toward the Baja California peninsula and the west coast of Mexico. Occasionally, a storm can move farther north, as Hurricane Hilary did in 2023, bringing damaging winds and intense rain to Southern California.

Hurricane season in the Eastern Pacific began on May 15, two weeks before the Atlantic season. Both seasons run through Nov. 30.

Sources and notes

Tracking map Tracking data is from the National Hurricane Center. The map shows probabilities of at least 5 percent. The forecast is for up to five days, with that time span starting up to three hours before the reported time that the storm reaches its latest location. Wind speed probability data is not available north of 60.25 degrees north latitude.

Wind arrivals table Arrival times are generated from a New York Times analysis of National Hurricane Center data. Geographic locations use data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Natural Earth. Time zones are based on Google. The table shows predicted arrival times of sustained, damaging winds of 58 m.p.h. or more for select cities with a chance of such winds reaching them. If damaging winds reach a location, there is no more than a 10 percent chance that they will arrive before the “earliest reasonable” time and a 50 percent chance they will arrive before the “most likely” time.

Radar map Radar imagery is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration via Iowa State University. These mosaics are generated by combining individual radar stations that comprise the NEXRAD network.

Storm surge map Storm surge data is from the National Hurricane Center. Forecasts only include the United States Gulf and Atlantic coasts, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The actual areas that could become flooded may differ from the areas shown on this map. This map accounts for tides, but not waves and not flooding caused by rainfall. The map also includes intertidal areas, which routinely flood during typical high tides.

Satellite map Imagery is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Japanese Meteorological Agency via the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere.

Donald Trump Latest News | Trump On Countries Hit By Tariffs: "Kissing My A**, Trying To Make Deals"

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 23:50:00 +0000

US President Donald Trump mocked tariff-hit nations on Tuesday (local time), stating that they were ready to do anything while trying to negotiate with him.

While speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee, Trump said he was a better negotiator than Congress.

He said, “I’m telling you- these countries are calling us up, kissing my a**. They are dying to make a deal- ‘please sir make a deal, I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything sir'”.

India Pakistan News Live: Donald Trump Reiterates Claim Of ‘Historic Ceasefire’ Between IND-PAK

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday once again claimed that his administration “successfully brokered a historic ceasefire” to stop the escalating violence between India and Pakistan.

“As I said in my inaugural address, my greatest hope is to be a peacemaker and to be a unifier. I don’t like war. We have the greatest military, by the way, in the history of the world,” Trump said while speaking at a Saudi-US investment forum in the Saudi capital.

“Just days ago, my administration successfully brokered a historic ceasefire to stop the escalating violence between India and Pakistan,” claimed Trump, who is in Saudi on the first leg of his four-day trip to the Gulf region.

Is COVID Making a Comeback? Asia Sees Surge in Cases | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Asia is seeing a resurgence of COVID, with sharp case spikes in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Singapore. Hong Kong’s infection rate soared to 11.4%, while Thailand reported over 33,000 cases last week. The surge is linked to JN.1 variant strains, waning immunity, and reduced booster uptake. Where does India stand? Should you be worried? What does global preparedness look like?

IQAir report shows the best and worst places for air quality in 2021

Sat, 28 Jun 2025 21:50:00 +0000

CNN
—

Air pollution spiked to unhealthy levels around the world in 2021, according to a new report.

The report by IQAir, a company that tracks global air quality, found that average annual air pollution in every country — and 97% of cities — exceeded the World Health Organization’s air quality guidelines, which were designed to help governments craft regulations to protect public health.

Only 222 cities of the 6,475 analyzed had average air quality that met WHO’s standard. Three territories were found to have met WHO guidelines: the French territory of New Caledonia and the United States territories of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were among the countries with the worst air pollution, exceeding the guidelines by at least 10 times.

The Scandinavian countries, Australia, Canada, Japan and United Kingdom ranked among the best countries for air quality, with average levels that exceeded the guidelines by 1 to 2 times.

In the United States, IQAir found air pollution exceeded WHO guidelines by 2 to 3 times in 2021.

“This report underscores the need for governments around the world to help reduce global air pollution,” Glory Dolphin Hammes, CEO of IQAir North America, told CNN. “(Fine particulate matter) kills far too many people every year and governments need to set more stringent air quality national standards and explore better foreign policies that promote better air quality.”

Above: IQAir analyzed average annual air quality for more than 6,000 cities and categorized them from best air quality, in blue (Meets WHO PM2.5 guildline) to worst, in purple (Exceeds WHO PM2.5 guideline by over 10 times). An interactive map is available from IQAir.

It’s the first major global air quality report based on WHO’s new annual air pollution guidelines, which were updated in September 2021. The new guidelines halved the acceptable concentration of fine particulate matter — or PM 2.5 — from 10 down to 5 micrograms per cubic meter.

PM 2.5 is the tiniest pollutant yet also among the most dangerous. When inhaled, it travels deep into lung tissue where it can enter the bloodstream. It comes from sources like the burning of fossil fuels, dust storms and wildfires, and has been linked to a number of health threats including asthma, heart disease and other respiratory illnesses.

Millions of people die each year from air quality issues. In 2016, around 4.2 million premature deaths were associated with fine particulate matter, according to WHO. If the 2021 guidelines had been applied that year, WHO found there could have been nearly 3.3 million fewer pollution-related deaths.

IQAir analyzed pollution-monitoring stations in 6,475 cities across 117 countries, regions and territories.

In the US, air pollution spiked in 2021 compared to 2020. Out of the more than 2,400 US cities analyzed, Los Angeles air remained the most polluted, despite seeing a 6% decrease compared to 2020. Atlanta and Minneapolis saw significant increases in pollution, the report showed.

“The (United States’) reliance on fossil fuels, increasing severity of wildfires as well as varying enforcement of the Clean Air Act from administration to administration have all added to U.S. air pollution,” the authors wrote.

Researchers say the main sources of pollution in the US were fossil fuel-powered transportation, energy production and wildfires, which wreak havoc on the country’s most vulnerable and marginalized communities.

“We are heavily dependent on fossil fuels, especially in terms of transportation,” said Hammes, who lives a few miles from Los Angeles. “We can act smartly on this with zero emissions, but we’re still not doing it. And this is having a devastating impact on the air pollution that we’re seeing in major cities.”

Climate change-fueled wildfires played a significant role in reducing air quality in the US in 2021. The authors pointed to a number of fires that led to hazardous air pollution — including the Caldor and Dixie fires in California, as well as the Bootleg Fire in Oregon, which wafted smoke all the way to the East Coast in July.

China — which is among the countries with the worst air pollution — showed improved air quality in 2021. More than half of the Chinese cities analyzed in the report saw lower levels of air pollution compared to the previous year. The capital city of Beijing continued a five-year trend of improved air quality, according to the report, due to a policy-driven drawdown of polluting industries in the city.

The report also found that the Amazon Rainforest, which had acted as the world’s major defender against the climate crisis, emitted more carbon dioxide than it absorbed last year. Deforestation and wildfires have threatened the critical ecosystem, polluted the air and contributed to climate change.

“This is all a part of the formula that will lead to or is leading to global warming.” Hammes said.

The report also unveiled some inequalities: Monitoring stations remain scant in some developing countries in Africa, South America and the Middle East, resulting in a dearth of air quality data in those regions.

“When you don’t have that data, you’re really in the dark,” Hammes said.

Hammes noted the African country of Chad was included in the report for the first time, due to an improvement in its monitoring network. IQAir found the country’s air pollution was the second-highest in the world last year, behind Bangladesh.

Tarik Benmarhnia, a climate change epidemiologist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography who has studied the health impact of wildfire smoke, also noted that relying only on monitoring stations can lead to blind spots in these reports.

“I think it is great that they relied on different networks and not only governmental sources,” Benmarhnia, who was not involved in this report, told CNN. “However, many regions do not have enough stations and alternative techniques exist.”

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded in its 2021 report that, in addition to slowing the speed of global warming, curbing the use of fossil fuels would have the added benefit of improving air quality and public health.

Hammes said the IQAir report is even more reason for the world to wean off fossil fuel.

“We’ve got the report, we can read it, we can internalize it and really devote ourselves to taking action,” she said. “There needs to be a major move towards renewable energy. We need to take drastic action in order to reverse the tide of global warming; otherwise, the impact and the train that we’re on (would be) irreversible.”

President Trump orders National Guard to LA after clashes over immigration raids | BBC News

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 23:50:00 +0000

US President Donald Trump has ordered 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles to deal with unrest over raids on undocumented migrants.

Tear gas was used to disperse crowds as residents of the predominantly hispanic Paramount district clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

As many as 118 arrests were made in LA this week as a result of ICE operations, including 44 on Friday, sparking two days of protests.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has condemned the raids as “cruel”.

Tottenham poke fun at Man Utd, Sir Alex Ferguson with clothing range release

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 23:46:00 +0000

Tottenham Hotspur are basking in their Europa League triumph – and they’ve chosen to celebrate it with a brilliant, not-so subtle dig at Manchester United.

As part of their new Europa League Winners clothing line, Spurs have reclaimed one of football’s most iconic jibes: “Lads, it’s Tottenham.”

The phrase, famously attributed to former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, was reportedly said in the dressing room to motivate his team before matches against Spurs. It became shorthand for Tottenham’s perceived fragility during a 17-year trophy drought – until now.

After defeating Manchester United four times last season, including in the Europa League final, Spurs are flipping the narrative in hilarious fashion.

The new collection features a navy hoodie and matching t-shirt, both designed with a minimalist aesthetic and the phrase “Lads, it’s Tottenham” subtly stitched or printed in white.

In a delicious twist, some United fans had pre-printed their own versions of the slogan before the final, expecting a routine win. Instead, it’s Tottenham – now European champions and trophy holders for the first time in 18 years – who have the last laugh.

The limited-edition merch is available now through Tottenham’s official club store, giving fans a chance to wear history, with a wink.

“Lads, it’s Tottenham.”

Iran’s Leader Says U.S. President is ‘Exaggerating’ Success of Strikes

In his first remarks since a cease-fire agreement with Israel, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, declared victory over the U.S. and Israel, and accused President Trump of exaggerating the success of U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
