When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
La FIFA preguntó a una japonesa que por qué recogen la basura en todos los estadios a los que asisten.
Ella lo explicó: "Es nuestra cultura. Pero también es una señal de respeto hacia el país y estadio que nos acoge y hacia nuestros jugadores. Para nosotros es un honor que nos reciban aquí y no podríamos dejar todo hecho un desastre".

When Bobby Robson finished his last chemotherapy session in 2007, Dr Ruth Plummer pulled him to one side at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle.
Bobby thought it was going to be about his health.
Instead, Ruth wanted to talk to him about something else.
Her department was too old.
There was a new Early Cancer Trials Unit being planned at the Northern Centre for Cancer Care, three times bigger than what they already had, with a proper laboratory, modern equipment and room for clinical trials.
But there was one problem.
They did not have the money to kit it out.
So Ruth asked Bobby if he knew anybody who might help.
Bobby went home and spoke to his wife Elsie.
The next day, they started making calls.
Very quickly, what had started as a quiet conversation with Ruth had turned into a committee.
Then the idea came up.
Use Bobby’s name.
He was not comfortable with that at first.
He did not want a charity built around himself.
But the others told him it would open doors, and once Bobby agreed to it, there was no going halfway.
The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation was born.
At the first meeting with the hospital, Don Robson got straight to the point.
How much money was needed to get started?
£500,000.
And Ruth needed it by the summer of 2008 because she wanted the facility running by October.
That was when Bobby knew what he had walked into.
“There could be no slowing down, no pulling out, no getting halfway down the road and turning back.”
The original plan had been simple enough.
Bobby would lend his name, act as a figurehead, and stay in the background.
It did not work out like that.
He went to the meetings.
He did the interviews.
He kept going even when he was not well.
Sometimes he would pull Ruth to one side and ask her:
“What have you bloody well got me into?”
But he never missed a single meeting.
The launch was held at the Copthorne Hotel.
By then, Bobby was fully in it.
“If I’m committed to something, then I’m committed.”
And then the money started coming in.
Within seven weeks, the first target had already been reached.
£560,000.
Then people started turning up at Bobby and Elsie’s house.
The first donation came from a woman carrying an envelope full of cash.
Her husband had recently died, and his final request had been that people at his funeral gave money to Bobby’s charity instead of buying flowers.
She handed over £271.74.
“What can you say to that?”
Then there was Johnny Bliss, a local singer with pancreatic cancer.
His doctors had told him he had months to live, but he still held a concert, sold CDs and raised around £10,000 for the Foundation.
Bobby met him at the Copthorne.
Johnny brought his family with him, and made the men wear their best suits and ties.
Bobby could see he was not well.
“I could have cried.”
And for all the football he had lived through, all the countries, all the clubs, all the games, this became his last big job.
“It’s not about beating Portsmouth any more.”
“It’s about beating death.”
As of today the Sir Bobby Robson foundation has raised over £27 million.

“One of the main problems in the countryside is dogs. Muslims don’t like dogs.”
Liberal commentator complains that the British countryside is racist and Muslims avoid going there because too many people walk their dogs, which are haram in Islam.
These people are truly insane.
🇬🇧 More than 150 kebab takeout shops across Britain have been given government licences to hire workers directly from overseas through a new visa program.
Crucially, the licences not only allow the Kebab shops to hire workers from abroad, but once those workers are in, they will be allowed to bring family members into the UK.
There are over 1.8 million people unemployed in the UK, but yeah, why not bring in more overseas workers, because this is clearly a highly skilled job.
The UK is a joke

Lady is a 5 year old female Central Asian Shepherd. She is available and would suit a home with someone who understands the breed or has had bigger dogs previously.
Lady isn't keen on other dogs. She has lived with another dog she was fond of, but isn't keen on strange dogs outside of the home.
Lady is great with humans and loves to meet new people. She loves getting patted and attention.

Lady can be left on her own but may bark to begin with, she will soon settle down.
She likes to be near her owners at bed time.
Lady is fine in the car and great around kids. Due to her size we'd suggest older children from 8+.
Lady is registered at the vets and walks well on the lead. She would need to be kept away from other dogs as she isn't keen on other dogs.
A home with no cats is best.
For more information or to offer Lady a new home please email [email protected]

We are desperately looking for a new home for Junior but haven't had any luck at all with his appeals. Can you please share to help him on his way?
Junior is a 6 month old Malinois cross Mastiff. He is available and looking for a new home through no fault of his own.
Junior would be best in a home with no other pets due to his size and dominance over other dogs.
He is young enough to be trained however we will be very specific in his new home as we'd like someone who is use to the breed and can demonstrate that they can train him and offer him the guidance he needs.
Junior hasn't been around kids much. He would be best with older children of a teenage age due to his size.
He is chipped and eats meat pouches and biscuits.
Junior is use to being left on his own for any length of time and is great meeting new people.
He hasn't met any cats.
Junior is okay on the lead but will need training with this. He is also registered at the vets and loves playing with toys.
He is walked around 3 times a day and likes to go to the park.
For any information please email [email protected]
Zack Polanski was the only party leader to not release a statement condemning the Sudanese savage.
He didn't even bother to send condolences to the victim yesterday.
I hate this cretin with a passion.
Afghanistan families to be rehoused in brand new detached houses worth 700k close to Bournemouth gardens whilst local former royal marines struggle to get housing!
Just a reminder.
Gupreet Digwa, the brother of murderer Vickrum Digwa has STILL NOT BEEN CHARGED for being caught on Police cameras conspiring with his brother to cover up the truth about Henry Nowak's murder
Gupreet was recorded in the back of a police van talking to his brother in Punjabi about how they would lie to Police when detailing what happened.
He's been arrested for possession of weapons but we demand full justice
This whole family should be behind bars
This is the best analogy yet with a solution for the mess that the UK is now in economically.
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it in my back garden and filled it with seed.
Within a week we had lots of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started… Building nests in the shed, in the eaves,in the fences and in my garden bushes.
Then came the shit. It was everywhere,on the patio,on the chairs,the table,windows..everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night And demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while,I couldn't even sit in my own back garden anymore. So I took down the Bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the garden.
Soon,the back yard was like It used to be ..... Quiet,serene.... And no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see......
Our government gives out Free food,subsidised housing,free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegal’s came by the hundreds of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services,small apartments are housing 5 families,you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor,your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box,I have to
press one to hear my bank talk to me in English,and people waving flags other than ”ours” are squawking and screaming in the streets,demanding more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion,but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
Please don't scroll past Sam 🐶
This wonderful boy is still searching for his forever family.
He's an older lad, but don't let that fool you - he's young at heart and still has lots of love yet to give.
Could Sam be the one for you? 🐾
