Except the USA and Infantino, they both received large boos.

🚨 UEFA has appointed Somali referee Omar Artan to take charge of the 2026 UEFA Super Cup on 12th August in Salzburg.

The match will see Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain face Europa League winners Aston Villa.

Despite his relatively young age, Artan has emerged as one of the leading referees in world football and has been a FIFA-listed international official since 2018.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino was loudly booed when he appeared on the big screen during the Mexico vs. South Africa match. Even the commentator mentioned the crowd's response.

Chinese Foreign Ministry:

While paying lip service to peace and defense, Japan is actually speeding down the path of remilitarization by ramping up military expenditure, easing the export of lethal weapons, advancing the deployment of intermediate and long-range missiles, developing offensive military capability, hoarding sensitive nuclear materials, promoting the revision of its pacifist constitution, and even advocating that Japan should become a war-capable nation.

In fact, Japan has torn off the mask of a pacifist country all by itself. The international community must stay on high alert and should never allow Japanese militarism to return and menace the world again.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump CANCELS Strikes on Iran, Says Deal Framework Approved

Believe NOTHING Until Iran ALSO Confirms

Trump says he cancelled tonight's planned U.S. strikes after discussions with Iran were brought to the highest levels of the Iranian leadership and approved.

According to Trump, the framework has been agreed to "in both concept and great detail" by the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others.

The Naval Blockade will remain in place until the transaction is finalized, with the signing location and date to be announced later.

Standing by for Iranian confirmation. Tell then it is just the 39th time Trump claims there is a deal...

France, Germany, and other European countries are discussing proposals for a radical reform of the EU's diplomatic service, including the removal of Kaka Kallas' powers.

Just imagine the level of professional incompetence where your presence in office forces a complete overhaul of the entire European diplomatic system.

Why is anyone surprised that @BBCNews is systematically biased in favour of Israel? Its outrageous disinformation and unfairness towards Palestine is reaching new levels as it covers up Israel's crimes and fails to present the Palestinian perspective.
