In mid-January, a gang carried out a series of deadly attacks on the Solino neighbourhood in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. One of our Observers, who lives in this neighbourhood, filmed the devastation after the attacks. His footage shows burned out homes, shops, cars and a school— and even a charred body. He was able to film after a police intervention restored a measure of calm to the zone. However, peace remains precarious.

Axar threw his arms in the air and roared after outfoxing the batsman with a delivery that pitched on middle and turned away from the batsman. Bairstow had put up a good fight against India's spin onslaught, finishing on 37 after a 61-run partnership with Joe Root, but slumped forward in dismay as the stumps rattled. "Bairstow took a stance on the fourth wicket to avoid the lbw, so I thought of bowling at the stumps because he did cut a few shots close," Axar said. "That was the plan and the one that turned from there was good... Читать дальше...

Slovenian Ceferin, 56, put forward a proposition in December, which will be voted on by UEFA's congress in February, for a president to be able to stand for a fourth term.

The tournament is on course to be far more prolific than either of the two previous editions to feature 24 teams, after 89 goals were scored in the group stage. That average of 2.5 per game marks a huge increase after 68 were scored in the first round in Cameroon two years ago, and in the first expanded AFCON in Egypt in 2019. Senegal got to the final of both of those tournaments, and won the title for the first time in 2022. They have so far lived up to their billing in Ivory Coast, with Aliou... Читать дальше...

The hosts were 119-1 at stumps in Hyderabad and trailing England by 127 runs, with skipper Rohit Sharma (24) the sole wicket.

Left-hander Jaiswal reached his fifty in 47 balls with a boundary off debutant Tom Hartley, whose bruising introduction to Test cricket saw him leak 63 runs from nine overs. Rohit walked back dejected after mistiming a shot off left-arm spinner Jack Leach, with Stokes completing the catch in the deep. Читать дальше...

Following the publication of "Our Narrative... Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" in measured, well-written English and later in French as well as Arabic, a senior Hamas official explained that the group, which Israel has vowed to crush, seeks to retain a say.

"The movement does not demand... Читать дальше...

The 19-year-old had her chances against world number two Aryna Sabalenka in their Australian Open semi-final, rallying from 2-5 down in the first set to force a tiebreaker. But she could not maintain the pressure, succumbing 7-6 (7/2), 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena. "A lot of positives to take. I felt like today, I didn't feel like I played bad.

It was the last Grand Slam Gauff... Читать дальше...

Japan have reached the last 16 in Qatar and a possible showdown with South Korea but Mitoma has not made any of their three match-day squads so far. The 26-year-old has not played at all since hurting his ankle in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on December 21. Moriyasu said Mitoma's recovery was "coming along as expected" but will not rush him back or put a date on his return. "I called him up when he was injured and we didn't know what was going to happen at first, so it was maybe a risk," he said, calling Mitoma "a potent weapon". Читать дальше...

In Israel, only a small minority of young people refuse to carry out their military service, which is compulsory for both men and women. These conscientious objectors, known as "refuseniks", have always been stigmatised in a country where the training is considered a rite of passage that forges national identity.
