That shows because this article (even the title) tells you France will have parliamentary elections, not presidential. Macron will remain president regardless of the outcome.
Better late than never, right?
I understand most people here don't care much about Henderson as a football player anymore and rather about his actions off the pitch, but as an Ajax fan this is big news.
The squad is a mess and at least on paper Henderson is perfect. Great addition to a very young and often invisible midfield as well as an experienced player who could be a terrific influence on a group lacking true leaders and role models.
Honestly though I don't really know him and am just repeating what I've read. I realized the other day I have confused him with James Milner in the past.
I'm hoping Henderson will be a big success of course, looking forward to seeing him.
It is probably a politically popular move in South Africa and especially considering the many problems South Africa is facing I understand your skepticism. However, it also makes historical sense SA does this.
Israel was one of the very few countries that continued its relationship with South Africa during apartheid. Israel would buy raw materials and South Africa weapons as well as technologies like nuclear. It's the reason why South Africa actually had nuclear weapons for a while and still have nuclear energy (pretty sure still the only African country). Israel also helped them make petrol for vehicles out of coal, which sounds insane but was a way to seal with the sanctions against South Africa that prevented them from importing oil. The apartheid regime undoubtedly lasted longer because of Israel, and South Africans haven't forgotten this.
The support for Palestine is widespread in South Africa because of this as well as the parallels between the apartheid regime and the Israeli government.
So yeah, it makes political sense for SA to take Israel to court like this, but I honestly think a big reason for it is historical and showing genuine support for Palestine.
Headline writers are the worst, they so often misrepresent the article. I don't mean you OP, but in this case a headline writer at CNN (the actual author of the article most likely did not write the headline). From the article:
"...the ultimate conclusion that GM Niemann had not made himself guilty of over-the-board cheating" and "there was no “statistical evidence to support GM Niemann cheating in over the-board games”".
The headline implies they found he didn't cheat, whereas it should probably say they didn't find (enough) evidence he cheated. It's a subtle difference, but with big implications.
Niemann is a scumbag. Sure he's innocent until proven guilty, but he's already been proven to be a cheater and a liar.
Or course I'm being a bit dramatic but considering how things were I do think the Netherlands is going to shit a little bit. Of course it's a better place to live than many other places, but in my opinion it's definitely getting worse.
Something tells me Manchester City will not suffer any consequences, they've gotten away with so much already
I thought I was done when I guessed oven, but there was no clear feedback saying I won. Went to the comments for the actual answer.
So my feedback: fun game! If possible, perhaps add something like "very close" if you guess something that's almost the answer but not quite. Or oven could have just been wrong, since that wasn't the actual answer.
The response from PSG is so telling:
"The club regrets that the Disciplinary Commission has opted for an excessive and collective measure, likely to undermine the work of dialogue and prevention undertaken by the Club with associations, institutions and fans."
They could/should have said "homophobia is wrong and we condemn is. Neither our fans nor our players should be singing these hurtful chants. We accept the punishment and shall be donating ___ € to [insert LGBTQ+ organization] as well as send the players involved to [insert related community program]."
Obviously PSG are villains so this would never happen, but imagine a world in which football clubs and players would use their position to make the world a better place? It's so goddamn easy and I think it's important to remember that PSG is choosing to be this way.
Good start though, right? More than most fines for similar infractions
This makes me so sad. Goddamn Correa fucked up the country with his corruption, idiotic economic policy (an insane reliance on oil), connections with organized crime, attacks on the press... Now he's fucked off to Belgium (where his wife is from), who refuse to extradite him.
Ecuador is seeing a big increase in drug related violence which until like ten years ago it didn't have. Covid made things a lot worse for sure, but the country was already going downhill and Correa's regime was a huge factor.
Lasso (the current president) certainly didn't make things any better. He's pro business, anti-abortion, part of the elite, and besides being anti-Correa not someone who I want in power.
Ecuador needs its own Nayib Bukele! But this assassination is going to scare a lot of candidates. Imagine wanting to implement a harsh crackdown on drug gangs... You're gonna put a massive target on your back.
I'm hoping Yaku Pérez can do well again, but I'm very worried about Luisa González. If she wins I can see her pardon Correa and bring him back to Ecuador. If that happens the country is truly in deep, deep shit. Even more so than it is now.
Yeah the search is not forgiving. One typo is enough to ruin the search results.
How well an area is mapped also matters a lot for search though. I now live somewhere that has all addresses in the country mapped from a government source. I didn't before, and it's so much easier now because at least I can just punch in the address and I'll find whatever I'm looking for.
