"Nobody feels comfortable playing these matches for many reasons." The coach of Ireland, Heimir Hallgrimsson, stated at a press conference that a player - he did not specify but it is the backup goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu - has decided to withdraw from the team for the match against Israel.

@magdandersson has let a correction be made after the interview in @politico. But it helps little. Her press secretary has approved the quotes in the original interview. That approval cannot be brushed aside afterwards. If she had really been misquoted, the press secretary would have been fired immediately. That's how serious it is. And that has not happened. On the contrary, Magdalena Andersson has historically expressed herself waverly about Sweden's security policy needs. On the contrary, her and her party's lukewarm commitment to Sweden's immediate neighborhood has a long history. Magdalena Andersson and the Social Democrats were previously opponents of a Swedish NATO membership. In the spring of 2022, the position changed quickly, but only after Finland's decision to join the alliance. Andersson's line is in practice identical to that of her predecessor Stefan Löfvén. Löfven's statements at a peace conference on Åland in early April 2022 are telling. There he said that NATO is not a peace solution and that he has not been convinced that Sweden and Finland would suddenly have a safer situation if the NATO border were drawn "right next to Russia in all of Europe." He therefore doubted that membership would provide better protection and pointed to the risk of a longer NATO–Russia border. It is against that background that Andersson's statement in Politico should be seen, which is actually reinforced by the fact that ABF coldly counts on @mikaeldamberg transferring billions from the @Forsvarsmakten budget to the study associations and @folkbildning. See today's article on the topic to get the full picture. The chairman of ABF is Tomas Eneroth. Not just anyone, but a former minister of business and, above all, the group leader in the parliament as well as a long-time member of VU. He knows exactly what he can demand and exactly what he will get. He will get his billions. It is just a matter of time. (translated)

"Many say in Europe that they expect aggression from the Russian Federation and that is why they must prepare themselves for battles, for a war with Russia." "Russia is not preparing to engage in hostilities against Europe," assures Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, as quoted by Russian news agencies Tass and Interfax, reports Reuters.

🚨🔵 Manchester City has been found guilty of almost all the charges related to violations of Premier League financial regulations. Sanctions have not yet been decided and, for now, all options remain on the table. The club will appeal. According to sources familiar with the proceedings, cited anonymously because they are not authorized to speak publicly, the City has been found guilty of as many as 114 of the 115 allegations. Possible sanctions are provided for by Rule W.51 of the Premier League regulations. The range of punishments includes: formal warnings, fines, point deductions up to possible expulsion from the Premier League. Any potential penalty could be applied at the time of the decision or, at least theoretically, retroactively. This scenario would also fuel the possibility that some titles could be revoked from City. @TheAthleticFC (translated)
"Let’s be specific. The United Nations has dedicated significant institutional attention to the question of Palestine for decades, the General Assembly has adopted resolution upon resolution, and the Security Council and the Human Rights Council have repeatedly addressed the situation. Let me be clear: the pursuit of peace and security in the Middle East is of utmost importance, and the suffering of Palestinian and Israeli civilians deserves serious consideration. Every life is important, but do we have the same standard of urgency for victims elsewhere?" "This year’s theme of the United Nations General Assembly is the peaceful resolution of conflicts," said Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša at the New York Palace of Nations, starting his speech with a quote from 2012.

⚡️🇫🇷CITATION - "There are 200 billion euros in aid to companies without counterpart, 4 billion euros in wealth tax returned to the richest with the abolition of the ISF, 80 billion euros in tax fraud, and we are going to be told that we must hit the retirees to make savings... All this to end up with French people who are at their breaking point, mutilated in the street! There is a simple principle. You cannot take from the less well-off if you do not practice fiscal justice." (itw BFMTV) (translated)
QUOTE FROM THE ELECTION 2026 Quotes from @vansterpartiet and @dadgostarnooshi that I will save: - "There weren't that many votes" - "They were far down on the lists" - "They were not in a winnable position" - "I don't think it affects the government negotiations". If there is a rerun in Dalarna, there will be unlimited opportunities to remind of these wise insights. And about the democratic and parliamentary maturity of the Left Party. #svpol (translated)

Another piece of evidence that Bohlin is right about SVT and its so-called journalists: – You are quite lousy. This was said by Jimmie Åkesson (SD) in a segment about the Carl-Oskar Bohlin interview on Tuesday's Rapport. But now it turns out that SVT shortened his quote and in Wednesday's program issued a correction: – He said: "You are quite lousy at scrutinizing each other," says the newsreader. – In the segment, one got the impression that Åkesson in his statement was critical of news journalism and scrutiny in general. That was wrong, continues the newsreader. – What is correct is that Åkesson expressed criticism of the media's ability to scrutinize the media. He said: "You are quite lousy at scrutinizing each other." (translated)

When it is said that the patch is worse than the hole. Let's not talk about the statement "the freedom of women to wear or not wear what they want" referring to girls or minors forced to wear a burqa. And also the comparison between the legislation in Afghanistan and Iran, which structurally discriminates against women, with that in France and other European countries where the ban on the burqa is compatible with the constitution and has been judged legitimate by the European Court of Human Rights. But @amnestyitalia confuses the ban on "hijab," a headscarf that leaves the face uncovered, with the ban on "burqa" and "niqab" mentioned by Meloni, which are already prohibited in many European countries (most recently Portugal), which are FULL veils. What constitutional rights are you talking about if you don't even know which veil you are talking about? It is unclear where ideology ends and ignorance begins, but the mixture is truly ridiculous.
