Unbeaten France has lots of reasons to be worried about Italy in crunch Rugby World Cup match

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:38:48 GMT

Title contender France has plenty of reasons to be concerned about Italy in their crunch Rugby World Cup match on Friday in Lyon.Both are chasing a quarterfinal spot. France is unbeaten and is looking to top Pool A. Italy has lots of motivation.Italy was caned by New Zealand 96-17 last week in Lyon but the Azzurri are usually thrashed by the All Blacks. Italy has no fear factor at all, though, when it comes to neighbor France.Their derby is often feisty, and the All Blacks did France no favor by riling up Italy to save some face for the humiliation they suffered a week ago.“We are looking forward to a chance this week to at least get a performance that has a lot more respectability,” Italy coach Kieran Crowley says.This could be Crowley’s last game in charge of Italy. He was hired from Treviso in May 2021 after the disastrous 16-month reign of Franco Smith. Crowley transformed the team’s fortunes by improving their fitness, discipline and attack and selecting promising stars.N...

LONDON (AP) — The Marylebone Cricket Club expelled one member and handed long suspensions to two others on Thursday following their clashes with Australia’s players during an Ashes test at Lord’s in July.There were unprecedented scenes of uproar at the home of cricket after Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw down the stumps when England batter Jonny Bairstow wandered out of his crease without checking if the ball was dead.The crowd accused Australia of cheating and Australian players Usman Khawaja and David Warner were abused in the Long Room by MCC members as they returned to their dressing room.The MCC, which owns Lord’s and is the custodian and arbiter of the laws of cricket, apologized and said Carey was in the right, even if many, including players in the England team and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, believed Australia broke the unwritten “spirit of cricket.”Three unnamed MCC members were punished after being charged with “abusive, offensive or inappropr...

EU to US: Help, we can’t cope without you on Ukraine

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:38:48 GMT

GRANADA, Spain — Top EU officials have a message for Washington after Republican lawmakers blocked a new aid package for Ukraine: We need you to help Kyiv hold its own against Russia.Arriving in Granada, Spain, for a gathering of European leaders, the bloc’s top diplomat Josep Borrell said Europe wouldn’t be able to shoulder the entire burden of foreign support for Ukraine on its own.“Europe cannot fill the gap of the U.S.,” he told journalists a few days after congressional Republicans refused to approve a stopgap funding measure for Kyiv. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen struck a similar tone, underscoring that the EU plans to approve €50 billion in support for Ukraine in the coming months but that Washington’s help remains crucial.“I am very confident in support for Ukraine from the United States,” she said, adding that what remained unclear was the timing of when the support would arrive.

Britain’s Labour Party is winning over business chiefs, poll suggests

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:38:48 GMT

LONDON — Labour leader Keir Starmer’s pre-election love-in with business is continuing to bear fruit, according to a new poll.The focaldata survey, carried out for Lodestone Communications and shared with POLITICO’s London Influence newsletter, comes as both parties seek to repair battered ties with business after a chaotic few years in Westminster.Nearly half (49 percent) of the 751 C-suite business representatives surveyed now believe Starmer, the U.K. opposition leader, is most “in touch” with the needs of businesses and employers. That compares with just 34 percent who think Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is most in touch with business needs — and represents an increase of 7 percentage points for Starmer since April.The survey also finds that 70 percent of business leaders expect a Labour majority at the next election — down just 1 percentage point in the last six months — with almost two-thirds (64 percent) expressing some level of optimism at the prospect.T...

MEPs confirm EU’s new climate chiefs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:38:48 GMT

Lawmakers in the European Parliament have approved Maroš Šefčovič and Wopke Hoekstra as the EU’s new climate leadership duo. During a plenary session in Strasbourg, MEPs voted for Hoekstra’s appointment as climate action commissioner by 279 to 173 with 33 abstentions, and in favor of Šefčovič as new Green Deal chief by 322 to 158 with 37 abstentions. They replace Frans Timmermans, who quit the Commission in August to run in the upcoming Dutch election. Both can now formally take up their jobs; Hoekstra is expected to represent the EU at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai starting November 30. The vote came after hours-long fractious hearings that saw conservatives and Socialists threatening to vote down each other’s candidates. Former Dutch foreign minister Hoekstra belongs to the center-right European People’s Party, while Šefčovič is a Slovak Social Democrat. MEPs in the environment committee, however, eventually approved both candidates — with the...
