But there’s probably only one really effective way left, short of war, to put pressure on a government that has threatened a new Holocaust. And that is to adopt a strategy that Americans pursued a decade ago against the perpetrators and collaborators of the last Holocaust—the Germans and the Swiss. Stuart Levey knows this well. Levey, the undersecretary of the Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence, has been leading the U....
The Young Lions faced an uphill struggle after a Sergio Gomez double put Spain in the ascendancy early on in Saturday’s showpiece. But Rhian Brewster reduced the deficit just before half-time and, after the break, Morgan Gibbs-White and Manchester City youngster Phil Foden completed the comeback to put England in the lead. Both Brewster and Gibbs-White’s goals were laid on by Steven Sessegnon, the Fulham wonderkid whose performances in west London have seen him linked with some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs....
Lampard was part of an England side which headed out of the 2014 World Cup and didn’t get past the group stage but he remains hopeful that Gareth Southgate’s side will fare better during the tournament in Russia. The former Chelsea midfielder also thinks that the tournament could provide the perfect platform for England’s more experienced faces to show off their credentials and guide the Three Lions into the latter stages of the tournament....
A penalty kick called by Dutch referee Danny Makkelie in the 104th minute of stoppage time ultimately proved the difference in a 2-1 England victory over Denmark at Wembley Stadium. He judged Raheem Sterling to have been fouled in the box by Denmark’s Joakim Maehle, but there were a few issues with the play (cued up in the video below). “We’re disappointed it was decided that way,” Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand said after the match....
Donnarumma stopped a shot by England’s Jadon Sancho and then clinched the win with a save on 19-year-old Bukayo Saka, who took England’s fifth and final penalty. Marcus Rashford, who along with Sancho came into the match specifically for the shootout, hit the post on his attempt. England took the lead on a second-minute goal by Luke Shaw, the fastest goal from kickoff in Euro finals history. Then the Three Lions proceeded to sit back and defend the advantage until the Italians broke through for a 67th-minute equalizer through Leonardo Bonucci....
The brothers have four other siblings, including an older brother, a much younger brother (more on him later) and two younger sisters that are all basketball junkies, CityofBasketballLove.com notes. But Dylan told the website that his brother Tyler is his “best friend.” The love will be put aside for one day, and Villanova coach Jay Wright talked about this brother vs. brother matchup earlier this week. “I know how important family is to them, so it’s got to affect them in some way,” Wright said, per the CityofBasketballLove....
The alligator had been linked with the mystery disappearance of livestock in Okeechobee County, leading professional hunter Doug Borries to intervene. The Mississippi man said he shot and killed the animal on private property near Okeechobee. “I had no idea the magnitude of how big his body was until we pulled him completely out of the lake,” Borries told McClatchy News. “It had been suspected of eating some of the local livestock around the lake and was considered a threat....
“Goran Dragic,” Wade replied with a smile. That very well could have been Wade’s answer for what has also made the difference throughout the Eastern Conference semifinal series.

The entertainment conglomerate announced in July that it would be transferring the employees to Lake Nona, Florida, an Orlando suburb, to set up a new regional campus 20 miles from Walt Disney World. Local real estate agencies have reported that a small number of the employees have already purchased properties. Included among the 2,000 employees that will soon call Lake Nona home are reportedly high-level Disney executives, with the Orlando Sentinel reporting that average salaries would start around $120,000....
Demand for lithium batteries is growing as we are increasingly leaning towards products that use cleaner forms of energy, such as electric vehicles. However, the materials used in these batteries come with their own set of environmental problems. Lithium mining can cause toxic chemicals to leak into the surrounding area, leading to air, water and soil contamination, all of which can be hugely detrimental to the local ecosystems. Cobalt, another product used in conventional batteries, can take a high toll on the health of those who mine it and the environment....

“I said, ‘Mariah, can you move?

The slick and crafty Lara (25-3-2, 14 KOs) steps inside the ring for the first time in 11 months, having lost the WBA (super) junior middleweight title in one of the best fights of 2018 — a narrow split-decision defeat to Jarrett Hurd. A rematch had been ordered by the sanctioning body, but Hurd opted to go in a different direction for the time being. Castano (15-0, 11 KOs) looks to defend the title for the third time after scoring a sixth-round knockout over Emmanuel de Jesús in November 2016....

Many will simply try again. Since 1998, when Mugabe made unbudgeted payouts to party militants and sent the economy into a death spiral, his countrymen have been fleeing en masse. And since the flawed presidential election this past March, the exodus has only intensified. Contrary to conventional wisdom, most of the people leaving are not the white “racist” ex-Rhodesians that the state propaganda machine decries. Rather, they are educated, middle-income Zimbabweans, the cream of the country’s work force....
K’Ogalo were aiming at qualifying for the group stages for the first time in their history, but were undone in the 21st minute courtesy of Anice Badri strike. The first leg ended in a barren draw, and the Dylan Kerr coached side needed at least a scoring draw to progress. The result will however, serve as an encouragement to the green army, considering the fact that they were defeated 5-0 at the same venue four years ago and were eliminated on a 8-2 aggregate score....
