Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is on a visit to Pakistan to mend the strained ties between the two countries months after airstrikes were carried out against alleged terrorist hideouts on rival lands. During talks, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif raked up the Kashmir issue but an attempt to talk about the region was not reciprocated by the Iranian president. Ebrahim Raisi instead raised the Palestine issue and how Iran has continued to support those fighting against oppression... Both countries have accused each other of providing safe haven to armed groups. In January this year, Iran launched airstrikes against alleged militant hideouts in the restive Balochistan province in January. Retaliating to the missile attack, Pakistan sent killer drones and rockets to carry out “precision military strikes" against “terrorist hideouts" in Siestan-Balochistan province of Iran. Both countries, however, restrained from escalating the tensions.... [ WHAT DID IRAN, PAKISTAN TALK A

(PCC)  Ethiopia’s Tigist Assefa obliterated the women’s marathon world record on Sunday as she won the Berlin Marathon, completing the course in 2:11:53 and shaving more than two minutes off the previous best. It marked her second consecutive Berlin Marathon title, and a time that was two minutes and 11 seconds faster than Brigid Kosgei’s previous world record set at the 2019 Chicago Marathon, though it is still subject to the usual ratification procedure, according to World Athletics. ★ 49ers' endless line of offensive stars makes big plays as they pull away from Giants Still a relative newcomer to the distance, it was only Assefa’s third ever competitive marathon after she made the switch from middle-distance running. It was a blistering race from the very start with the leading 12 women all running within world record pace through the opening 15 kilometers. By the halfway point, Assefa was more than a minute inside world record pace and alone at the head of the race, strea

El senador demócrata Bob Menéndez fue acusado de corrupción en relación con un empresario de Nueva Jersey vinculado al gobierno de Egipto. NUEVA YORK, EEUU —  El senador demócrata estadounidense Bob Menéndez y su esposa fueron acusados este viernes de aceptar sobornos en efectivo, lingotes de oro y un automóvil de lujo para una serie de actos corruptos para beneficiar al gobierno autoritario de Egipto. Una búsqueda en la casa de la pareja reveló 100.000 dólares en lingotes de oro y 480.000 dólares en efectivo escondidos, dijeron los fiscales, que anunciaron los cargos contra el senador de Nueva Jersey, de 69 años, casi seis años después de que un caso penal anterior en su contra terminó en un punto muerto. ★→  49ers' endless line of offensive stars makes big plays as they pull away from Giants La acusación de este viernes no tiene relación con los cargos anteriores que alegaban que Menéndez aceptó lujosos obsequios para presionar a funcionarios del gobierno en nombre de un médico d

When San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan goes to call a play, his biggest challenge isn't selecting a play to get a first down. He can do that easily. His concern is finding enough touches for all of his superstars. Even on Thursday night when the 49ers were without receiver Brandon Aiyuk, the NFC's offensive player of the week in the season opener, it's not like they were lacking. George Kittle is one of the NFL's best tight ends. Deebo Samuel was an All-Pro a couple seasons ago. Christian McCaffrey scored in his 12th straight game, including playoffs, on Thursday night, tying a team record set by some old-timer named Jerry Rice. Some of San Francisco's backups could start for other teams. It seems unfair, especially with how good San Francisco's defense is. The 49ers were in a competitive game in the second half, but they were simply too talented for the New York Giants. Samuel, who had a big night with Aiyuk on the sideline with a shoulder injury, pu

The Atletico Madrid loanee scored twice and assisted another as the Blaugrana saw off the Belgian champions with a 5-0 win  ←------------------------→ Barcelona got off to a winning start in their 2023-24 Champions League campaign as they swept Antwerp aside in a 5-0 victory that was inspired by the superb performance of Joao Felix. The Portugal international scored the opener and set up another in the first 45 minutes, netting with a clever pulled finish, and then laying on Robert Lewandowski's second with a sumptuous cross that gave the Pole a simple volleyed finish. Barca's third came more by luck than judgement, as a cross sent into the box by Raphinha was inadvertently deflected into his own goal by defender Jelle Bataille. After half-time, meanwhile, Gavi added a fourth with a powerful finish into the top corner, as the Catalan giants scythed through the Antwerp defence. Felix then scored a superb back-post header after Raphinha's cross to make it 5-0, and put the che

  When dating rumors begin to swirl, fans will look for any sign of confirmation. And if you know anything about birthstones, you might take this news as Taylor Swift responding to those Travis Kelce rumors. The NFL player was asked about his rumored relationship with the singer during an appearance on NFL+ with host Andrew Siciliano after reports that he once tried to give the “Lavender Haze” singer his phone number earlier this year at one of her concerts. “The only thing anyone really wants to talk about is Taylor Swift,” Siciliano said in the interview, a clip from which has since been reshared on TikTok. “Did you really have your phone number ready on a friendship bracelet to give to Taylor?” Kelce seemingly confirmed that the reports about trying to give his number to Taylor were true. “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is,” he said, before playing it coy about their relationship status. “I’m not gonna talk about my perso
