Western envoys criticize South Sudan security bill that could allow warrantless detentions

The U.S. and other western governments criticized a controversial security bill in South Sudan that would allow the government to detain people without warrants, saying it would undermine open political and civil space ahead of the country’s elections. The security bill, which passed parliament July 3, has threatened the collapse of ongoing peace talks and prompted fears of arbitrary arrests ahead of the country’s first-ever elections on Dec. 22. President Salva Kiir has 30 days to approve or veto the law. Читать дальше...

English Dream Team Euros gaffers face agonising head-or-heart decision ahead of Sunday’s final

SPAIN v ENGLAND: a style clash for the ages.

The final of Euro 2024 pits the best team at the tournament against a side that have developed a habit of well-timed magic moments.

La Roja topped what appeared to be the toughest group on paper with Albania, Croatia and Italy for company before vanquishing Georgia, Germany and France in the more competitive side of the knockout draw.

Rugby League Supporters Association Online 

London Broncos • Bradford

I see Love Rugby League are reporting that Bradford have won the race for a lease on the hole in the ground having sold the lease to the RFL for £1.2m in 2012.
