Manchester United Get Double Suspension Boost After Dramatic Europa League Win vs Lyon Manchester United have received a significant boost ahead of their Europa League semi-final clash with Athletic Bilbao, as key midfield duo Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro both avoided suspension in Thursday night’s dramatic victory over Lyon, according to Manchester Evening News. United edged past the French side in a thrilling 5-4 win at Old Trafford, securing a 7-6 aggregate triumph to reach the last four of the competition. Goals from Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire ensured Ruben Amorim's men kept their European dream alive — and with it, a vital chance to secure Champions League football next season. However, the victory wasn’t just about the scoreline. Heading into the quarter-final second leg, both Ugarte and Casemiro were walking a disciplinary tightrope. Having each picked up two yellow cards earlier in the tournament, a further booking would have triggered a one-match suspension — ruling them out of the semi-final first leg. But both players held their nerve and steered clear of the referee’s notebook during a heated and high-stakes encounter, giving United a major boost ahead of their semi-final showdown. The relief is even more palpable given UEFA rules: all accumulated yellow cards are wiped clean after the quarter-finals, meaning Ugarte and Casemiro now begin the semi-final phase with a clean slate. This reset dramatically lowers the risk of missing the final due to a yellow card suspension, allowing Amorim more tactical flexibility as United prepare to face a high-energy Athletic Bilbao side. United’s European run now offers a lifeline in what has otherwise been a turbulent campaign. With Premier League inconsistencies leaving their top-four hopes in doubt, winning the Europa League presents not just silverware, but a golden ticket back into the Champions League.

Caesarean sections were performed in Africa long before they were standardized across the world. They were invented in Africa long before Europe, and the rest of the world fully mastered how to conduct them (Young, 1944). The procedure is said to have been started since time immemorial. When a baby could not be delivered vaginally, midwives and surgeons would turn to C-sections in order to deliver the baby safely and alive. In areas around Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria, midwives and surgeons would perform this procedure (Davies, 1959). When a baby could not be delivered vaginally, the midwives and surgeons would sedate the mother in labour with a lot of banana wine. A knife would be sterilized using heat, while the mother would be tied to the bed for her safety. An incision would be made quickly by a team, and the quickness was to ensure that there would be no excessive loss of blood, and also that other organs would not be cut. A combination of sterilized knives and sedation would make the experience less painful for the mother (Felkin, 1884). During these times, women rarely developed infections because antiseptic tinctures and salves were used to clean the area and stitches were applied. Shock and excessive blood loss were uncommon. Uganda, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) were the countries where this was most practised. In Uganda, C-sections were normally performed by a team of male healers, but in Tanzania and the DRC, they were typically done by female midwives (Davies, 1959). It was in the Ugandan kingdom of Bunyoro that this procedure was most documented. The procedure was performed so well that Robert W. Felkin, a Scottish medical anthropologist, documented all of this in the book The Development of Scientific Medicine in the African Kingdom of Bunyoro Kitara. He witnessed the procedure in 1879 and was captivated by it. What got his attention was that back in Europe, a C-section was considered to be an option only to be used in the most desperate situations. At this time, "nearly half of European and US women died in childbirth, and nearly 100% of European women died if a C-section was performed" (Felkin, 1884).

According to Spanish outlet AS, via Cumhuriyet, the Turkish champions are ready to offer Napoli €70 million and propose a three-year deal for Osimhen, reportedly worth €15 million per season, excluding performance bonuses—putting the package on par with top Premier League offers.

The narrow victory keeps Madrid’s momentum going as they continue to mount pressure on Barcelona. Athletic Bilbao boosted their top-four hopes with a strong 3-1 win over Rayo Vallecano at San Mamés.

IT'S HAPPENING: VICTOR OSIMHEN TO REAL MADRID I told you guys! I'm not gonna stop until he moves to where he belongs! 🙅🏾‍♂️ Real Madrid are reportedly considering a summer swoop for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as a potential replacement for Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior, who could be headed for a blockbuster move to Saudi Arabia. The European champions are said to be willing to listen to offers for Vinicius as concerns grow over his compatibility with Kylian Mbappe, with club president Florentino Perez reportedly ready to sanction what could become the biggest transfer of all time. According to Fichajes, Real Madrid’s unexpected 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in their Champions League quarter-final first leg has accelerated internal discussions about reshaping their attacking options for next season. The Spanish champions have identified Osimhen as their preferred target to lead their attacking line should Vinicius depart. ©Punch #realmadrid #reliablereliance #classicalgentleman

Namibia ends visa-free entry for USA citizens, a decisive step to fight illegal mining and assert control over its mineral wealth? Namibia has indeed ended visa-free entry for U.S. citizens, effective April 1, 2025, as part of a broader policy shift targeting over 30 countries that do not offer reciprocal visa-free access to Namibian citizens. This decision, announced by the Namibian government, reflects a push for fairness in diplomatic relations rather than a direct response to illegal mining or mineral wealth control. The stated rationale centers on reciprocity—Namibia has long allowed visa-free entry to citizens of countries like the U.S., UK, and various European nations, while Namibians face stringent visa requirements to visit those same countries. The new policy requires U.S. tourists to obtain a visa either online in advance or upon arrival, with fees set at approximately USD 90 (NAD 1,600) for non-African nationals.

France could recognise Palestinian state 'in June' — Macron https://jordantimes.com/news/world/france-could-recognise-palestinian-state-june-%E2%80%94-macron <!-- google_ad_section_start -->PARIS — France plans to recognise a Palestinian state within months and could make the move at a UN conference in New York in June on settling the Israel-Palestinian conflict, President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview broadcast Wednesday. "We must move towards recognition, and we will do so in the coming months," Macron, who this week visited Egypt, told France 5 television. "Our aim is to chair this conference with Saudi Arabia in June, where we could finalise this movement of mutual recognition by several parties," he added. "I will do it because I believe that at some point it will be right and because I also want to participate in a collective dynamic, which must also allow all those who defend Palestine to recognise Israel in turn, which many of them do not do," he added. Such recognition would allow France "to be clear in our fight against those who deny Israel's right to exist -- which is the case with Iran -- and to commit ourselves to collective security in the region," he added. France has long championed a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, including after the October 7, 2023 attack by Palestinian militants Hamas on Israel. But formal recognition by Paris of a Palestinian state would mark a major policy switch and risk antagonising Israel which insists such moves by foreign states are premature. Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar denounced French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement that Paris could recognise a Palestinian state by June, saying it would be a "prize" for terrorism. "A unilateral recognition of a fictional Palestinian state, by any country, in the reality that we all know, will be a prize for terror and a boost for Hamas," Saar said on X late on Wednesday. "These kind of actions will not bring peace, security and stability in our region closer -- but the opposite: they only push them further away." Nearly 150 countries recognise a Palestinian state. In May 2024, Ireland, Norway and Spain announced recognition, followed by Slovenia in June, moves partly fuelled by condemnation of Israel's bombing of Gaza that followed the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel. 'No one will invest a cent'  France's recognition of Palestinian statehood "would be a step in the right direction in line with safeguarding the rights of the Palestinian people and the two state solution," Palestinian minister of state for foreign affairs Varsen Aghabekian Shahintold AFP.   Nearly 150 countries recognise a Palestinian state. In May 2024, Ireland, Norway and Spain announced recognition, followed by Slovenia in June, in moves partly fuelled by condemnation of Israel's bombing of Gaza that followed the October 7 attacks. But France would be the most significant European power to recognise a Palestinian state, a move the United States has also long resisted. In Egypt, Macron held summit talks with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Jordan's King Abdullah II and also made clear he was strongly opposed to any displacement or annexation in Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank. US President Donald Trump has suggested turning Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East" with the Palestinians moving elsewhere -- a suggestion that has sparked bitter condemnation. Macron responded that the Gaza Strip was "not a real estate project." "Simplistic thinking sometimes doesn't help," he added, and, in a message to Trump said: "Perhaps it would be wonderful if one day it developed in an extraordinary way, but our responsibility is to save lives, restore peace, and negotiate a political framework." "If all this doesn't exist, no one will invest. Today, no one will invest a cent in Gaza," he said. <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Brief:  Image: 

Press TV: ‌Al Mayadeen English (Twitter) In a surprise post on his Truth Social platform late Wednesday, #Trump revealed he had “authorized a 90-day PAUSE” on the higher tariffs for most countries, though the baseline 10% would remain in place. #UnitedStates #China https://english.almayadeen.net/news/Economy/trump-pauses-tariffs-for-most-nations--escalates-trade-war-w Al Mayadeen English (Twitter) French President #EmmanuelMacron announced on Wednesday that France is preparing to recognize a #Palestinian state within the coming months, with a formal move possibly taking place at a #UnitedNations conference in #NewYork this June. Speaking to France 5 television, Macron said, "We must move toward recognition, and we will do so in the coming months." He noted that the planned recognition could be finalized during a conference co-chaired by #France and #SaudiArabia, aimed at settling the #Palestinian issue.

In a statement, the US Department of the Treasury identified the targets, which include the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and its subsidiary, the Iran Centrifuge Technology Company. The sanctions also targeted Majid Mosallat, head of Atbin Ista Technical and Engineering Company, whom the Treasury accused of aiding the procurement of foreign components for Iran’s nuclear activities.

Schlanger reveals how Trump’s move to fire key military and intelligence officials, such as Shoshana Chatfield and Thomas Hoff, is reshaping US foreign policy. These firings are part of #Trump’s broader strategy to distance himself from the neoconservative wing and shift US policy toward Russia. Schlanger also explains that #European leaders are terrified of losing the US nuclear umbrella, and they know they can’t handle a military confrontation with #Russia on their own.

This revelation raises serious concerns about the independence of influencers and journalists—individuals we trust because we believe they aren't controlled by the powers they challenge. But what does the Chatham House Rule actually mean? In essence, it allows participants to share what was discussed but prohibits them from revealing the identity of the speaker or where the information came from. Created in 1927, it was designed for diplomacy, but now it’s being used in closed-door meetings with influencers—not diplomats or traditional journalists. In this video, we dive deep into the implications of this secretive meeting and the troubling reality that influencers may be unknowingly—or knowingly—becoming conduits for government narratives. The key players in the room included not only Tim Pool but also other prominent figures like Dave Rubin, Sean Spicer, and Mollie Hemingway. On the Israeli side, Netanyahu and his top diplomats were present. What was discussed? The growing anti-Israel backlash in right-wing media, particularly among pro-Trump influencers, and the possibility of foreign manipulation of social media content. The question remains: If these influencers aren't being transparent with us, can we still trust their "independent" content? This meeting, shrouded in secrecy, highlights a deeper problem: narrative control, message laundering, and the growing blurring of lines between independent media and government propaganda.
