The etching phase has been a litany of technicalities concerning United Nations resolutions not complied with. Now come other matters. The poster phase began with the president’s U.N. speech, in which he accused Saddam Hussein of widespread “torture by beating and burning, electric shock, starvation, mutilation and rape. Wives are tortured in front of their husbands, children in the presence of their parents.” In this departure from the focus on weapons of mass destruction, the president was amplifying a theme–Saddam’s personal viciousness–that will recur....
The EU Chief issued her warning after a video summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang on Monday that covered trade, the coronavirus outbreak and human rights issues. Speaking at a press conference after the talks, von der Leyen said the meeting had been “very intense” and “very frank,” but claimed to have expected “nothing less” from the summit. Asked what actions the EU was prepared to take in the event of the Hong Kong national security law being implemented, von der Leyen said: “We were very clear in our conversations that Beijing’s imposition of a national security on Hong Kong does not conform with the Hong Kong Basic Law, nor with China’s international commitments....
Design & Build The G10 Hybrid looks slick. Its glossy, black tempered glass finish keeps it scratch-free which is especially useful if you have pets. While the G10 isn’t incredibly light at 2.5kg, it does have a low 7.2cm profile, allowing it to slide under couches, beds and other hard to clean areas. The low height limits the size of the dust container (to 0.5L) however, which slots into base of the G10....

Here’s looking at the five key points from the game. #1 Vardy’s absence is baffling Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy was a constant feature in England’s qualifying campaign and the friendly games that the side played recently. Yet on Saturday, England boss Roy Hodgson did not include the forward in the starting eleven. Vardy is coming to the competition on the back of a spectacular season having scored plenty of goals and also having won the English Premier League title....
The Liverpool hitman has struggled often with his fitness and was sweating on his selection for the Euros having picked up an injury days before England Head Coach Roy Hodgson announced his squad for the campaign. However, Andy Cole believes that when fit, Daniel Sturridge, who scored 13 times for Liverpool in 25 appearances in all competitions in an injury-riddled season, offers the England squad more than either Harry Kane or Jamie Vardy do....
Most European powerhouses have no shortage of talent and could field two top teams with the kind of squad depth they have. What this also means is that several top players could fail to make the starting XI for their nations despite being in the squad. Some big stars have not featured at Euro 2020 yet Team harmony is quite important at big tournaments such as Euro 2020. If the side is performing well, the manager will be wary about making changes or introducing a new player into the setup....
Exactly when it happened Sunday was unclear, making it all the better. At roughly the same time, in two singles matches on two greens at Le Golf National separated by 150 yards of water, Francesco Molinari and Sergio Garcia each made par to secure at least a half-point, either one giving Europe the 14½ points it needed to regain the Ryder Cup from the Americans. As the celebration was just getting started, Molinari capped off the first 5-0 week at the Ryder Cup for a European....
It wouldn’t have happened, even, with the Duke Blue Devils of 12 months ago. This is not the story in 2019.

So spare a thought for Ze Roberto, who is still producing the goods for one of the country’s top sides at the grand old age of 42. What’s more, the former Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid star shows no sign of slowing down even with more than 1000 professional games under his belt. When Ze Roberto signed for Palmeiras back in 2014 it was difficult to see the move as anything other than a last payday before his inevitable retirement....
“I’ve never thought about leaving Anzhi since I came here. Not a single second,” the four-time African player of the year was quoted as saying by the club on Friday. “Moreover, I’m intended to play with Anzhi until the end of my career.” Despite only arriving at the ambitious outfit in August last year, Eto’o has been repeatedly linked with a loan or transfer move away from Anzhi — which is based in Dagestan, one of Russia’s most impoverished and violent regions....
The concern about Twitch in Europe stems from a new set of copyright rules called the “European Union Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market” which is being considered by countries within the European Union. Within this directive, there is a section called “Article 13” which has been dubbed as the “meme tax” by some. It would require platforms that host user-generated content (including Twitch and YouTube) to “ensure that unauthorised protected works or other subject matter are not available on their services....
Nicklas Bendter appeared to be pulled back by centre-back Holger Badstuber as the Danes went in search of a goal that would have made it 2-2 toward the end of the game here Sunday night. “I think we should have had a penalty, it’s not allowed to pull the shirts in the box,” Olsen said. “You also have the fifth referee but he didn’t see it apparently.” Denmark depart a competition in which no one had given them a chance in the “group of death”, but upon which they left an indelible mark, upsetting the Netherlands 1-0 in their opener, and narrowly losing out 2-3 to Portugal....
Gareth Southgate’s side failed to add to the score. However, they still showed enough attacking intent in the 90 minutes, with Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka earning top plaudits. Sometimes it’s easy to see just the flaws in a team but there were lots of positives to take from England’s performance against the Czechs. England make light work of Group D After three matches in Group D, it is fair to say England have completely dominated the group....
