Venezuela: Spain, Germany, France give Maduro ultimatum

Image
Spain, France and Germany on Saturday gave embattled Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro an ultimatum, saying they would recognise opposition leader Juan Guaido as president unless he calls elections within eight days. President Nicolas Maduro gets ultimatum from France, Germany, Spain to call fresh election The ultimatum comes as international pressure mounts on the Maduro regime to agree a new vote, with the United States, Canada and major South American players already recognising Guaido, who proclaimed himself acting president of Venezuela during massive street rallies this week. After four years of economic pain that has left Venezuelans short of food and medicine and driven more than two million to flee, Guaido is trying to oust Maduro following controversial elections that saw the socialist leader sworn in for a second term. “If within eight days there are no fair, free and transparent elections called in Venezuela, Spain will recognise Juan Guaido as Venezuelan president” so

A pair of Russian supersonic, nuclear-capable bombers buzzed North America Saturday, forcing American and Canadian fighter jets to scramble and intercept them, the U.S. military said. The two Russian Tu-160 Blackjack bombers “remained in international airspace,” but were escorted by two U.S. Air Force F-22 fighter jets and two Canadian CF-18 jets, according to a statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command, better known as NORAD. The U.S. jets flew from an Air Force base in Alaska. The Russian bomber flight near North America — the first known flight this year — coincides with the visit of NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to Washington to meet Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan and national security adviser John Bolton.  President Trump has mulled pulling the United States out of NATO, according to senior administration officials.

(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) The U.S. economy lost at least $6 billion during the record-long partial government shutdown, S&P Global Ratings said Friday. The economic hit stems from a loss of productivity and economic activity lost to outside business during the shutdown, which ended on its 35th day on Friday, Reuters reported. Nearly 800,000 federal employees were furloughed or working without pay during the shutdown. The shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, started on Dec. 22 over President Trump's demand for $5.7 billion in funding for his long-desired wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump signed a three-week funding bill on Friday night, formally ending the shutdown without securing money for a border wall.  Trump warned that if he cannot get a "fair deal" when the stopgap bill runs out, the government may

Emiliano Sala's final text messages with agent reveal flight confusion

Image
Emiliano Sala was in the process of checking flight arrangements when he was offered the private plane which disappeared over the Channel taking him back to Cardiff. Sky News have released a transcript of messages between Sala and Jack McKay, son of agent Willie McKay, arranging the Piper Malibu flight which is presumed to have crashed on Monday evening. McKay was involved in the move to take Sala to Cardiff City for a club record fee where he was due to become a team-mate of Jack. New messages reveal the Argentinian striker was in the process of sorting his own arrangements when he received the offer of a private flight straight from Nantes to Cardiff ahead of his first training session with the Bluebirds. Sala seems uncertain over the arrangements, including whether he can take luggage on the plane. McKay released the messages in a statement in which he confirmed he arranged the flight but did not select the aircraft or the pilot. McKay said: "In regards to the book

Japan's Naomi Osaka poses with the trophy after winning her match against Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova.  Naomi Osaka recovered after wasting three championship points and reasserted herself down the stretch to win the Australian Open for a second consecutive Grand Slam title, edging Petra Kvitova 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-4 on Saturday night. The victory allows the 21-year-old Osaka to become the first tennis player from Japan to reach No. 1 in the rankings. Osaka held three match points in the second set at 5-3, love-40 as Kvitova served. But Osaka couldn't close it out. Instead, she completely lost her way, dropping 23 of the next 27 points. That allowed Kvitova to come back and make a match of it, reeling off five games in a row to take the second set and go up 1-0 in the third. Osaka was yelling at herself. She slammed a ball off the court. She tugged at her pi

ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria's main opposition party has suspended its presidential election campaign for 72 hours in protest at the suspension of the country's most senior judge by President Muhammadu Buhari, it said on Saturday. The president on Friday said he had suspended chief justice of Nigeria (CJN) Walter Onnoghen who has been asked to appear before a tribunal over allegations of breaching asset-declaration rules. Onnoghen has not responded to the charges and his lawyers say the tribunal does not have the authority to try him. Buhari, who was a military ruler in the 1980s and voted into office in 2015, is seeking a fresh term in an election scheduled to take place on Feb. 16. At stake is control of Africa's top crude oil producer and one of the continent's biggest economies. Nigeria

Levante to take Copa case to CAS

Image
Levante will take their appeal against Copa del Rey elimination to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after their initial move was rejected. The LaLiga club alleged Barcelona used an ineligible player in the first leg of the last-16 tie, but their appeal was rejected by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). Levante beat Barca 2-1 at home in the first part of their two-legged clash, as Ernesto Valverde shuffled his pack, giving games to fringe players and youngsters. Among the unfamiliar names in the starting XI was defender Chumi, who Levante believed to have been suspended for the match after accumulating five yellow cards for Barca's 'B' team in the third tier. Barca were convinced Chumi was eligible, with Valverde suggesting the defender's suspension was active for Sunday's win over Eibar, while the club understood a rule change in November meant a reserve player can feature for the first team in another competition as long as the

It can happen – Allegri plays down Ronaldo penalty miss

Image
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri played down Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty miss, but felt the forward was too rushed early in his performance. Ronaldo had a second-half penalty saved while Juve cruised to a 3-0 win over Chievo in their return to Serie A action on Monday. Douglas Costa, Emre Can and Daniele Rugani were on the scoresheet as Juve moved nine points clear at the top. Allegri said his side's win, not Ronaldo's miss, was most important, although he felt the forward was too eager to score in the first half. "Important penalties are others … it can happen to miss a penalty," he told a news conference. "I don't think this is the first time that Ronaldo misses a penalty in his career. The most important thing is that the team won the game at the end." He added: "He (Ronaldo) wanted to score and in the second half technically played much better. "In the first half, he was rushing too much to find the net.

(Photo by Richard Martin-Roberts/Getty Images) Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby will reportedly make royal history after its birth. Joe Gamp, a journalist for Express, said that Queen Elizabeth II’s newest great-grandchild will be the first member of the royal family to possibly have dual citizenship. Markle reportedly made an application for British residency shortly before her engagement to Prince Harry. Current rules state that a child born to an overseas couple where at least one parent is a US citizen can receive American citizenship upon its birth. The Duchess of Sussex’s current American citizenship and Prince Harry’s British citizenship will make their baby the first royal baby to be born as both American and British. But sources told The Times that Markle wou
