Zidane expects James to remain at Madrid

www.dailystar.com.lb

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane closed the exit door on Colombian playmaker James Rodriguez despite leaving the 2014 World Cup's top scorer on the bench once more for Real's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo Saturday. However, Zidane insisted Rodriguez will remain in the Spanish capital beyond the transfer deadline Wednesday with even the Premier League's cash-rich clubs unlikely to match the reported 80 million euros ($90 million, £68 million) Real paid for him after the World Cup two years ago. Rodriguez only came on for the final 21 minutes as Kroos's fine long-range effort 10 minutes from time salvaged all three points for the hosts despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema from Zidane's starting line-up through injury. ...

Hyundai’s stylish Tucson 2.4 brings the pep to match the presence

www.dailystar.com.lb

There's a sweet spot in automotive manufacturing that arises when all aspects of a car come together so harmoniously that the final product is nothing less than stellar. Perhaps the best way to define it is to explain why I avoid comparing cars. Most people try to determine which is the better car by comparing everything except price, so let's nix that approach by stating it in a way that's more familiar. So a Hyundai Tucson may not be in the same league as a Porsche Macan, but then again it costs far less, so as far as value for your money is concerned, Porsche has nothing on Hyundai, even if I personally happen to love the former marque. As far as styling goes, it's probably the most subjective aspect of an automobile, and can make or break a car. Another $5,000 nets you a panoramic sunroof – it looks phenomenal on this car – and a whole host of other features besides the standards equipment, including chrome radiator grille and door handles, 19-inch alloys, leather steering wheel, lumbar support, power driver's seat, Electronic Stability Program, Downhill Brake Control, and Hillstart Assist Control. ...

Top French court to rule on legality of burkini bans

www.dailystar.com.lb

France's highest administrative court will decide Friday whether to overturn bans on wearing the full-body burkini swimsuit which have sparked controversy at home and abroad. A court in the Riviera resort of Nice upheld the Villeneuve-Loubet ban this week. The burkini bans have triggered a fierce debate about the wearing of the full-body swimsuit, women's rights and the French state's strictly-guarded secularism. Vallaud-Belkacem, who is of Moroccan origin, took issue with the wording of the ban in Nice which linked the measure to the jihadist truck attack in the resort last month in which 86 people were killed. The administrative court in Nice ruled Monday that the Villeneuve-Loubet ban was "necessary" to prevent public disorder after the Nice attack and the murder of a Catholic priest by two jihadists in northern France. ...

German vice chancellor: Merkel underestimated migrant integration challenge

www.dailystar.com.lb

German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said in an interview on Saturday that Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives had "underestimated" the challenge of integrating a record migrant influx. The head of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees told newspaper Bild am Sonntag that Germany took in less than one million migrants last year and said he expected a maximum of 300,000 refugees to arrive in Germany this year. Merkel's migrant policy also drew criticism from Markus Soeder, a senior member of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian sister party to Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU). The CSU tends to talk tougher on immigration than the CDU and the two allies have often been at odds over how to respond to the migrant influx. ...

Olympic flag arrives in Tokyo

The Olympic flag arrived in Tokyo Wednesday as Japan's capital gears up to host the 2020 Games, with officials promising smooth sailing after Rio's sometimes shaky 2016 installment. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike carried the flag during a ceremony at Haneda airport after stepping off a plane from the Brazilian host city, accompanied by a delegation who picked up a record 41 medals in Rio. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made a comical cameo as Nintendo video game character Super Mario as Tokyo set a lighthearted tone for its hosting of the Games in four years. Tokyo's metropolitan conurbation is the world's largest, with more than 35 million people, but streets are safe, trains run on time and the air is clean. ...

Qatari state fund buys stake in NY's Empire State Building

Qatar's sovereign wealth fund has made an iconic purchase in America – a stake in the company that owns New York's Empire State Building. The Empire State Realty Trust Inc., which manages the 102-story, 1,454-foot (443-meter) -tall building, announced the Qatari purchase late Tuesday, saying the fund would gain a 9.9-percent stake in the company. The fund's existing American holdings include a more than 10-percent stake in New York-based luxury jeweler Tiffany & Co. Among the Qatari fund's interests in America is a 44-percent stake in the $8.6 billion redevelopment project in New York known as Manhattan West, which includes remodeling the building that's now home to the global headquarters of The Associated Press. ...

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's accusers told her trial in the Senate on Tuesday she should be judged not only on charges of breaking budget rules but also for a sweeping corruption scandal and a deep recession that erupted on her watch. However, lawyer Janaina Paschoal, the author of the impeachment request against Rousseff, told the Senate in her closing arguments that her trial was not merely about "accounting issues" but about the damage done to Brazil by her government. If the Senate convicts Rousseff, she would become the first Brazilian leader in more than 20 years to be dismissed from office. ...

Daesh bombing kills 54 government recruits in Yemen

www.dailystar.com.lb

A suicide car bombing claimed by Daesh (ISIS) in Yemen's southern city of Aden Monday killed at least 54 pro-government recruits, officials said, underscoring how the militant group has been able to exploit Yemen's civil war to stage large-scale attacks. In the attack in Aden, the men were gathered at a staging area near two schools and a mosque when a pickup truck suddenly accelerated through the building's gate as a food delivery arrived, exploding amid the crowd, witnesses said. The recruits were signing up to join a new unit the coalition hopes will ultimately be made up of 5,000 fighters. Later, another statement circulated by Daesh called the bomber a "knight" who had purportedly killed some 60 coalition fighters. Eleven bodies from the attack were taken by ambulances to the town of Koud, where they were buried collectively, officials added. ...

Aoun-Sleiman tensions provoke vandalism

www.dailystar.com.lb

Free Patriotic Movement supporters allegedly vandalized a monument honoring Lebanon's former President Michel Sleiman early Sunday, hanging the FPM flag at the entrance of a minister's residence in Jbeil. The act marked an escalation of tensions between the country's main Christian parties. A plaque on the monument reading "His Excellency President Michel Sleiman" was defaced when unidentified suspects spray-painted over "Sleiman," replacing it with Aoun. The FPM has also been accused of obstructing the election of a successor to Sleiman, whose term ended in May 2014, leaving the country's top Christian post vacant. President between May 2008 and May 2014, Sleiman had a rocky relationship with the FPM during his tenure over numerous issues. ...

Turkish army and allies thrust deeper into Syria

www.dailystar.com.lb

Turkey's army and its allies thrust deeper into Syria Sunday, seizing territory controlled by Kurdish-aligned forces on the fifth day of a cross-border campaign that an activist group said had killed at least 35 villagers. Turkish warplanes roared into northern Syria at daybreak and artillery pounded what security sources said were sites held by the Kurdish YPG militia, after the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported fierce overnight fighting around two villages. Turkey said 25 Kurdish militants were killed in its airstrikes and denied there were civilian casualties. Turkey, which is also battling Kurdish insurgents at home, sent tanks and troops into Syria Wednesday to support its Syrian rebel allies. The Turkish-backed forces first seized the Syrian border town of Jarablus from Daesh militants before pushing south into areas held by Kurdish-aligned militias. However, the Turkish offensive has so far focused on forces allied to the SDF, a coalition that includes the YPG, an Observatory source said. The fighting pits Turkey, a NATO ally, against the U.S.-backed SDF that is the most effective ground force battling Daesh militants in Syria. ...

Court rejects state appeal over 'lenient' Pistorius sentence

www.dailystar.com.lb

A South African judge Friday rejected the state's appeal seeking a longer jail sentence for Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, who is serving a six-year term for killing his girlfriend three years ago. Pistorius shot Steenkamp, a model and law graduate, in the early hours of Valentine's Day in 2013, saying he mistook her for a burglar when he fired four times through the door of his bedroom toilet. At his sentencing in July, Masipa listed mitigating factors for ordering Pistorius to serve less than half the minimum 15-year term for murder, including the athlete's claim he believed he was shooting an intruder. Nel argued that the six-year sentence was flawed and that it should be appealed. ...

UN Security Council condemns North Korea missile launches

www.dailystar.com.lb

The U.N. Security Council late on Friday condemned a series of missile launches by North Korea after failing to do so earlier this month when China had wanted a statement also to oppose the planned deployment of a U.S. anti-missile system in South Korea. The statement referred to Wednesday's launch as well as other North Korean ballistic missile launches since July 9 . Earlier this month, the 15-member council had been unable to agree on a U.S.-drafted statement to condemn North Korea's Aug. 3 launch of a ballistic missile that landed in or near Japanese-controlled waters. ...

Ecstatic Torino fans welcome England ’keeper Hart

www.dailystar.com.lb

England goalkeeper Joe Hart was given a rousing welcome by ecstatic Torino fans Tuesday as he held up the team's jersey ahead of signing a seasonlong loan with the unfashionable Serie A club. Hart, 29, fell out of favor with new coach Pep Guardiola at Manchester City following the signing of Claudio Bravo from Barcelona and has caused general surprise by joining Torino in a bid to preserve his international career following England's spectacular Euro 2016 exit. It is considered a major coup for Torino, who have been given a boost in their bid to secure a place in next season's Europa League, especially with City agreeing to pay a significant portion of Hart's annual salary of 3.3 million pounds ($4.32 million). When Guardiola signed Bravo from Barca, Hart lost his No. 1 spot. ...

Khalil sends 2017 draft budget to Cabinet

www.dailystar.com.lb

Finance Minister Ali Hasan Khalil Friday sent his 2017 draft budget to the Cabinet and urged ministers to pass it. In a brief statement to the press, the minister said that he submitted the 2017 draft budget with supplements to the Cabinet, and hoped that the ministers would review and approve the bill before sending it on to Parliament. There is serious doubt that the draft budget will be discussed or approved by the Cabinet due to the sharp differences between the ministers over several controversial files. Lebanon has been without an official budget for more than 10 years. On a monthly basis, however, the budget deficit in April 2016 fell to 17.72 percent of spending compared to 29.02 percent for April 2015 . ...

Jet-setting patriarchs

www.dailystar.com.lb

Tuesday's list of VIPs leaving or arriving at the airport included figures from the religious persuasion, among them Maronite Patriarch Beshara Rai, who departed for Rome; Orthodox Patriarch John X Yazigi, who left for Warsaw; Armenian Orthodox Catholicos Aram I Keshishian, who left for Geneva; and Patriarch of Catholic Syriacs Ignatius Youssef III, who arrived from Paris. With daily reports for nearly the past 15 years of Christians being persecuted or forced to emigrate, one would think it would be more beneficial if these Christian luminaries, who represent their flocks in the whole region, would fly in the direction opposite to Europe to ease the plight of their people and make it their sole job to work out formulas with regional leaders to safeguard the place for Christians who have peacefully lived with other religions for hundreds of years. ...

Lebanon's finance minister vows to retake stolen state land

Lebanon's Finance Ministry will continue to clamp down on civil servants who help land owners steal public land, said Finance Minister Ali Hasan Khalil at a newly-renovated property registration office in Baabda on Tuesday. Khalil was discussing common allegations that public sector employees – primarily surveyors – accept bribes to speed up paperwork, falsify property value estimates and gobble up public land by redrawing property lines in favor of adjacent land owners. Khalil revealed in 2014 that over 50 state employees were under investigation for bribery and embezzlement in real estate matters. ...

Ancelotti defends ‘ticking time-bomb’ Ribery

www.dailystar.com.lb

Bayern Munich's new coach Carlo Ancelotti has defended veteran winger Franck Ribery, who has been dubbed "a ticking time-bomb" in the German media for a string of on-field tussles. Bayern start the new Bundesliga season Friday at home to Werder Bremen and Ancelotti says people are getting carried away in their criticism of Ribery. Ribery, who has been sent off six times in 12 years as a professional footballer, has been involved in a series of recent scuffles. Ancelotti has said Bayern's veteran captain Philipp Lahm, 32, who has a contract until 2018, could emulate Italian icon Paolo Maldini, who won the Champions League in 2007 with AC Milan at the age of 39 . ...

Dissidents 'plotting to topple' Maldives president

www.dailystar.com.lb

The Maldives' dissident former president met opposition groups in neighboring Sri Lanka Friday to hatch a plan to topple strongman president Abdulla Yameen, opposition sources told AFP. Ex-president Mohamed Nasheed, who recently won asylum in Britain after being jailed by Yameen's government, was among several exiled opposition groups meeting in Colombo, two people in Nasheed's Maldivian Democratic Party said. In June, Yameen's former deputy Ahmed Adeeb was jailed for 15 years on a charge of plotting to assassinate the president – part of a sweeping crackdown on opponents, most of whom are in jail or exile. ...

A further 10 lifters who competed at the 2008 Olympics, including five medalists, had already been suspended in June and July after failing an earlier wave of retests. ...

Yemeni rocket hits Saudi facility

www.dailystar.com.lb

The strike on the transformer in Najran, which lies just across the Yemen border, marked a rare hit on Saudi Arabia's infrastructure despite months of periodic bombardment of the area. Attacks have intensified since the suspension in early August of United Nations-brokered peace talks between the Shiite Houthi rebels and their allies, and Yemen's internationally recognized government. Elsewhere, coalition airstrikes in the northern city of Saada killed 11 civilians, including women and children, Yemen's rebel-run news agency said. The overnight attack in the city of Saada, a stronghold of the Houthi rebels, came as Iran's foreign minister dismissed claims from Saudi Arabia that his country had supplied Yemen's rebels with missiles. ...

Memorial Mass for 2 nuns killed in their Mississippi home

A memorial Mass will be held Monday for two 68-year-old nuns who were killed in their Mississippi home, even as authorities continue to investigate the stabbing. About 145 people filled the church to capacity, and there was an overflow crowd outside, where 160 folding chairs were set up and still people had to stand to watch on a monitor as Bishop Joseph Kopacz of the Jackson Diocese led the service. Rodney Earl Sanders, 46, of Kosciusko, Mississippi, has been arrested and charged in the stabbings. The county sheriff said Sanders confessed to the killings although many people are struggling to comprehend why anyone would want to take the two women's lives. Plata said he does not think people at the church knew Sanders. The clinic and the nuns' home in Durant are in Holmes County, population 18,000 . ...

Infantino says FIFA salary less than $2 million

www.dailystar.com.lb

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in an interview published Sunday that he will make less than 2 million Swiss francs – that's about $2 million – a year, well below the salary of his disgraced predecessor, Sepp Blatter. Infantino described past dealings with FIFA's compensation committee as "insulting" and "completely arbitrary". Scala dramatically quit FIFA in May, accusing Infantino of trying to compromise the organization's independent committees and acting with an authoritarian streak. Infantino said his pay could be finalized when the compensation committee meets again, with Scala no longer in the picture. ...

Trump’s deportation waffle highlights weaknesses

www.dailystar.com.lb

Donald Trump and his aides used to say that voters didn't care about the nitty-gritty of policy details. From the start, Trump has never been the kind of candidate to pore over thick policy books. Indeed, he has mocked Clinton on the subject. To date, Trump's campaign has posted just seven policy proposals on his website, totaling just over 9,000 words. There are 38 on Clinton's "issues" page, ranging from efforts to cure Alzheimer's disease to Wall Street and criminal justice reform, and her campaign boasts that it has now released 65 policy fact sheets, totaling 112,735 words. Chen, the Republican policy adviser, said a President Trump arriving at the White House without detailed plans could be limited in how much he might achieve, since a new president's power is at its apex early on. ...

Europe’s last chance in project of unification

www.dailystar.com.lb

Most of Europe's history has been marked by conflict. The two superpowers' divided control was eventually relinquished, and the old European state system was replaced by the European Union, with its promise of eternal peace between EU member states, and between Europe and the larger world. The collapse of communism in Europe, followed by that of the Soviet Union in 1991, was described triumphantly in Europe and the United States as the "end of history" – the global triumph of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism. One thing is clear: Political and economic power is shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and away from Europe. What will become of the old Europe – and of trans-Atlanticism – in a "Pacific era?" This might be Europe's last chance to finish the project of unification. Otherwise, Europe is in for a rude awakening. ...

Kerry urges Pakistan to push harder against extremists

www.dailystar.com.lb

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Pakistan had made progress in the fight against extremism in recent months, but urged Islamabad to push harder against militants hiding within its borders as tensions with neighbor India rise amid more violence in the disputed region of Kashmir. Kerry said the United States had made it clear to Islamabad that it needs to act against groups such as the Taliban-linked Haqqani network and Lashkar-e-Taiba that are suspected of operating from Pakistan to launch attacks against its neighbors India and Afghanistan. ...

In Gene Wilder’s madcap roles, a magical mania

www.dailystar.com.lb

Often playing opposite enormous performers like Zero Mostel and Richard Pryor, Wilder was a straight man who often wound up in a straightjacket. Born Jerome Silberman in Milwaukee, Wilder first began performing for his mother, who was badly marred by a heart attack when Wilder was 6, as a way to entertain and cheer her up. He would later be schooled by Lee Strasberg at the Actor's Studio, but that early aura – of laughter with darkness around – never left Wilder. Wilder's bug-eyed knack for neurotic extremes was so winning only because of his underlying tenderness. Fully embodying his characters, Wilder was utterly unpredictable, moment to moment. Wilder was much more than a comic actor. Shying away from interviews, Wilder remained delightfully enigmatic through his many decades in show business. ...

Aid access in Syria 'unacceptable': UN

www.dailystar.com.lb

Humanitarian access to Syria's besieged areas is "wholly unacceptable," the U.N. said Friday as it announced that just one aid convoy had completed deliveries this month. The United Nations humanitarian office (OCHA) said a convoy with life-saving supplies finished its delivery Thursday to Al-Waer, a besieged area of the district of Homs. Top U.N. officials including envoy Staffan de Mistura have blasted Syria's warring parties in recent weeks for blocking civilians from accessing aid. ...

Rivals Hamas, Fatah gear up for first election since 2006

www.dailystar.com.lb

Palestinian rivals Hamas and Fatah are gearing up for their first contest at the polls since 2006 -- a vote for mayors and local councils in 425 communities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. At the time, the Islamic militant group Hamas seized Gaza, driving out Fatah, while Fatah's leader, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, cracked down on Hamas in the autonomous areas of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The last municipal elections were held in 2012, but only in parts of the West Bank, and Hamas didn't compete because it couldn't agree with Abbas on procedure. When Abbas decided earlier this year to call for local elections in 2016, as scheduled, he likely expected Hamas to stay out of the race again, analysts said. Hamas recognized Abbas' general election commission as final arbiter, while Abbas agreed that Hamas institutions would supervise the vote in Gaza. The Western-backed Abbas was elected to a four-year term as president in 2005, while Hamas defeated Fatah in 2006 parliament elections, creating a political stalemate that eventually led to Hamas' Gaza takeover and a West Bank crackdown on the Islamic militants. In some other West Bank communities, Fatah- and Hamas-endorsed lists compete directly with each other. ...

Rooney to end England career after 2018

www.dailystar.com.lb

Wayne Rooney announced Tuesday that the campaign for the 2018 World Cup in Russia will be his last as an England player. Captain since August 2014, Rooney is also England's record goal-scorer with 53 goals. England crashed out in the group phase at the last World Cup in Brazil two years ago and, with Rooney as captain, were humiliated by minnows Iceland in the last at Euro 2016 . Rooney's most impressive performance for England at a major tournament remains Euro 2004 in Portugal, when, aged only 18, he scored four goals as Sven Goran Eriksson's side reached the last eight. Rooney ended an eight-year wait for a tournament goal at Euro 2012, but England fell in the quarterfinals. ...

Saudi city soldiers on as civilian death toll mounts

www.dailystar.com.lb

Enter the King Khaled Hospital and you can see what the war has done. The boy brings to at least 31 the number of civilians killed in Najran since early last year, when Yemen's Houthi rebels and their allies began bombarding southern Saudi Arabia in retaliation for airstrikes by a Saudi-led coalition. At least 19 soldiers have also died in the Najran region, which is just a few kilometers from the border and has borne the brunt of rebel attacks. The tour coincided with increased criticism of Saudi Arabia over civilian casualties in its Yemen bombing campaign. "I was in the workshop when suddenly the shells hit," Suleiman Abdel-Thabit, a 25-year-old Yemeni mechanic, says quietly from his bed, touching the back of his head to show where some shrapnel hit. Earlier this month civilians suffered their heaviest losses when four Saudis and three Yemenis died in what officials said was a Grad rocket strike. ...

Sarkozy’s campaign of fear might not get him the presidency

www.dailystar.com.lb

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy's announcement that he will seek the presidency again in 2017 should come as no surprise. Whatever you think about Sarkozy, there is no denying that he has never been one to stay out of the spotlight for long.The truth is that Sarkozy never really accepted his defeat. Now, emboldened by Hollande's unpopularity, Sarkozy seems to think that the French are ready to welcome him back. In particular, Alain Juppe – Sarkozy's main competition for his party's nomination – could find that his moderate approach becomes a liability, especially now that Sarkozy is involved. Whereas Juppe, who coined the term l'identite heureuse (the happy identity), aims to transcend the deepening divisions within French society, Sarkozy seems poised to capitalize on them, presenting Islam as a fundamental threat to the French way of life. Sarkozy has read the popular mood well. Fear is a powerful weapon, and Sarkozy, like Trump, is eager to wield it. ...

Oil prices dip, Saudis dampen hopes on output talks

www.dailystar.com.lb

Oil prices dipped in Asia Friday after Saudi Arabia's oil minister cast doubt on the need to cut output, denting hopes for a deal at talks next month aimed at addressing a global supply glut. The commodity rallied for seven straight sessions and entered a bull market -- a 20 percent rise from recent lows -- last week after OPEC and Russia announced plans to discuss the supply crisis, which has hammered the crude market for more than two years. However, even if a deal is reached in Algeria, there are doubts about the impact a production cap may have on an already oversupplied market. ...

FPM created crisis to reach presidency: Azzi

www.dailystar.com.lb

Labor Minister Sejaan Azzi has accused the Free Patriotic Movement of creating a political crisis by boycotting the Cabinet to secure the presidency for its party's founder Michel Aoun. The Cabinet held a session Thursday defying a boycott by the FPM over its objections to the extensions of senior military appointments. Azzi anticipated that the crisis created by the FPM will only end when the issue of military appointments is resolved and following the outcome of National Dialogue sessions in September. Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil and other FPM officials have warned of escalatory measures, including street protests, against the government if the party's demands are not met. ...

Ramos surprised by Casillas exclusion from Spain squad

www.dailystar.com.lb

Spain defender Sergio Ramos was surprised to learn that the country's record appearance maker and long-time captain Iker Casillas had been left out of the Spain squad by coach Julen Lopetegui. Casillas was the most high-profile absence from Lopetegui's squad announcement since succeeding Vicente del Bosque, although Pedro Rodriguez and Cesc Fabregas, who won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, were also excluded. Ramos met Lopetegui last week. Del Bosque also revealed Casillas was the only player he did not write a letter of gratitude to after resigning as coach following Spain's elimination by Italy in the last 16 of Euro 2016 . ...

German economy minister says EU-US trade talks have failed

Free trade talks between the European Union and the United States have failed, Germany's economy minister said Sunday, citing a lack of progress on any of the major sections of the long-running negotiations. Sigmar Gabriel, who is also Germany's Vice Chancellor, compared the TTIP negotiations unfavorably with a free trade deal forged between the 28-nation EU and Canada, which he said was fairer for both sides. Gabriel's ministry isn't directly involved in the negotiations with Washington because trade agreements are negotiated at the EU level. ...

Max Ritvo, poet who chronicled cancer battle, dies at 25

Max Ritvo, a poet who chronicled his long battle with cancer in works that were both humorous and searing, has died. Ritvo died Tuesday morning at his home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, his mother, Ariella Ritvo-Slifka, said Friday. Ritvo was diagnosed at 16 with Ewing's sarcoma, a rare cancer that affects bones and soft tissue in children and young adults. Ritvo's cancer returned in his senior year, but he completed Yale and this year earned a master's degree from Columbia University. Ritvo's battle with the disease informed his works. Ritvo also inspired people with his attitude, his wife said. Ritvo was writing until several days before his death and had told his family that the end would be near when he was no longer able to write. ...

Maia stops Condit in Vancouver, aims for title shot

www.dailystar.com.lb

Demian Maia backed up his calls for a welterweight title shot with an early submission victory over Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC Fight Night at Rogers Arena Saturday night. Ranked third in the division, Maia said this week that with a victory over Condit, he should be in line for a fight for the title now held by Tyron Woodley. And, at 38 years of age, Maia may get his wish later in the year after forcing Condit to tap out at 3:08 of the opening round. Saturday's fight may have been the last for Condit. There has been speculation about Condit's future in the UFC, and he strongly suggested following his loss to Maia that his days as a fighter could be over. ...

Another season of Bayern Bundesliga dominance beckons

www.dailystar.com.lb

Bayern Munich will be aiming for an unprecedented fifth successive Bundesliga title in the season which kicks off Friday and there seems little that can stop them. With other teams unable to match Bayern's spending power, it has become a case in the last few seasons of when, rather than if, Bayern will lift the trophy. Bayern have also continued their policy of buying players from their main rivals Borussia Dortmund, in this case spending an estimated 35 million euros ($39.4 million) on Germany defender Mats Hummels. Borussia Moenchengladbach offloaded Granit Xhaka to Arsenal for around 45 million euros and Schalke 04 pocketed some 50 million euros for 20-year-old Leroy Sane who has moved to Manchester City. ...

Ally criticizes Merkel on integration of asylum-seekers

www.dailystar.com.lb

German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said in an interview Saturday that Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives had "underestimated" the challenge of integrating a record migrant influx. Gabriel is also leader of the Social Democrats (SPD) – the junior coalition partner in Merkel's government – and his comments come as campaigning gets under way for a federal election next year and for regional elections in Berlin and the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The head of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees told newspaper Bild am Sonntag that Germany took in less than 1 million migrants last year and said he expected a maximum of 300,000 refugees to arrive in Germany this year. Merkel's migrant policy also drew criticism from Markus Soeder, a senior member of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian sister party to Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU). ...

UN Syria envoy joins Kerry, Lavrov meeting

www.dailystar.com.lb

The U.N. envoy for Syria Friday joined a closely-watched meeting between Russia and the United States, raising hopes for progress towards resuming peace talks for the war-ravaged country. Friday's meeting came as the conflict became further complicated by Ankara's decision this week to send tanks into Syria. Ankara's hostility to the YPG also puts it at loggerheads with its NATO ally the United States, which works with the group on the ground in the fight against ISIS. The Russian air force has been carrying out airstrikes in Syria since September last year, claiming it only targets extremists. As a possible sign of tightening cooperation, Moscow vowed Thursday to work with the United States on a response after a U.N. investigation found that the Syrian regime had carried out at least two chemical attacks. ...

US commander slams Iran for provocative moves in Gulf

www.dailystar.com.lb

The top commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East sharply criticized Iran on Tuesday for recent high-speed maneuvers by Iranian patrol boats in the Persian Gulf that in one case prompted a U.S. Navy ship to fire warning shots. The U.S. maintains a near-continuous naval presence in the Gulf and thus has frequent, mostly benign, encounters with Iranian vessels. Votel praised the U.S. sailors' handling of the incidents. He said the problem seems to lie not with the regular Iranian navy but with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps naval forces, which have been accused by the U.S. numerous times of provocative behavior in the Gulf. ...

Curfew reimposed in Indian Kashmir after fresh clashes

www.dailystar.com.lb

Authorities reimposed a curfew in parts of India-administered Kashmir following fresh clashes Monday between protesters and Indian security forces hours after the government announced an end to a 52-day lockdown. At least 12 people were injured in the fresh wave of violence, police and hospital officials said, where 68 civilians and two police officers have been killed and thousands injured since unrest erupted last month. Several rebel groups including Wani's Hizbul Mujahideen have for decades fought some 500,000 Indian soldiers deployed in the territory, demanding independence for the region or its merger with Pakistan. ...

To boldly shoot rocks where no one has shot rocks before

www.dailystar.com.lb

BEIRUT: The allure was irresistible: more than 18 quintillion unique undiscovered planets to explore, a starship to do it in, and virtually no loading times. Soon after I figured out what I needed to power life support and repair my ship, I decided to fly around this planet and see what was what, and came face to face with a stark reality. In fact, there were apparently no fewer than three alien races in the game, each with countless outposts, factories, cargo drops, trading bases and various other odds and ends littering the planet. Still I flew out into space in my little red ship and, lo and behold, there were other planets in the same system – and a space station, where I could sell my goods, assuming I had mined some on the planet I just left. For a moment I believed I messed up and returned to the same planet as before, but then I noticed that the name was different. There's nothing to buy with that in-game currency except a ship that can hold more rocks, which you have to shoot. ...

Egypt’s economic crisis weighs heavily on heritage

www.dailystar.com.lb

Egypt cannot afford to keep its museums open, the country's antiquities minister says, let alone search for ancient buried treasures. In 2010 the ministry made 1.3 billion Egyptian pounds ($146.40 million) a year; in 2015 income was down to 275 million pounds. Anani said Egypt plans to partially open the Grand Egyptian Museum – an ambitious center for ancient Egyptian artefacts, said to be the world's largest archaeological museum – in 2017, bringing forward the scheduled opening date by a year. Anani is cooler on the topic. An analysis of radar scans done on the site last November has revealed the presence of two empty spaces behind two walls in King Tut's chamber. ...

Daesh propaganda chief killed in suspected U.S. strike

www.dailystar.com.lb

Daesh (ISIS) spokesman and head of external operations Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, one of the group's longest-serving and most prominent leaders, has been killed in Aleppo province in Syria, the group said Tuesday, threatening to avenge his death. Adnani had been one of the last remaining members alive of the group that founded Daesh, along with the group's self-appointed caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. As Daesh's spokesman, he was its most visible member. As head of external operations as well, he was in charge of attacks overseas, an increasingly important tactic for the group as its core Iraqi and Syrian territory has been eroded by military losses. A senior Syrian rebel official had said earlier that Adnani was most probably killed in Al-Bab. A senior Syrian rebel official said Adnani was most probably killed in the Daesh-held city of Al-Bab in an airstrike. ...
