Madrid (AFP) - Des militants du collectif "Futuro Vegetal" ont aspergé de peinture noire et rouge la façade d'une luxueuse villa appartenant à la star du football Lionel Messi à Ibiza, une action présentée mardi comme une critique de "la responsabilité des riches" dans la crise climatique. Dans une vidéo rendue publique, deux militants sont filmés en train de vandaliser la façade blanche de cette maison située près de la crique de Cala Tarida, sur la côte ouest d'Ibiza, et tenant une banderole "Aidez la planète, mangez les riches, supprimez la police".

Miami (AFP) - Chaotic scenes erupted at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday as thousands of fans were kept waiting outside the venue ahead of the Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia. Tournament organisers halted entry into the ground and delayed kick-off of the South American football showpiece by 30 minutes after throngs of fans were kept waiting at entry gates. A statement by Copa America organisers on X, formerly Twitter, appeared to suggest the chaos had been caused by unticketed fans attempting to gain entry. "Please be advised that people who do not have tickets will not be...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden congratulated Keir Starmer in the Oval Office Wednesday on a historic victory -- England's passage to the Euro 2024 football final, that is, rather than the British premier's recent election win. The two leaders shared some light-hearted if somewhat stilted moments on Starmer's first trip to the White House since taking office last week. "I tell you what, it's all because of the prime minister," the US president joked when asked if he had watched England's 2-1 semi-final win over the Netherlands earlier that day. Labour leader Starmer was inevitably asked if footba...

By Kieran CANNING Dortmund (Allemagne) (AFP) - Un peu oublié des supporteurs de Liverpool, l'attaquant néerlandais Cody Gakpo s'est rappelé aux bons souvenirs des Anglais en inscrivant trois buts depuis le début de l'Euro, avant la demi-finale contre l'Angleterre mercredi (21h00) à Dortmund. Les grands tournois réussissent au joueur de 25 ans. Au Mondial-2022 au Qatar, il avait déjà marqué trois buts en cinq matches avant l'élimination des "Oranje" par l'Argentine, future vainqueure, en quarts de finale. Cette performance avait convaincu Liverpool de le recruter pour 45 millions de dollars en ...

By Pirate IRWIN Paris (AFP) - La présence de l'Ukraine à l'Euro est en soi une victoire contre l'adversité selon Andriy Shevchenko et "rappellera au monde ce que nous traversons", a déclaré à l'AFP la légende du football ukrainien, Ballon d'or en 2004. La Zbirna ("la sélection") entame son tournoi européen contre la Roumanie lundi à Munich. Placés dans le groupe E avec la Slovaquie et la Belgique, les Ukrainiens espèrent sortir de la phase de groupe. Il y a trois ans, lors du précédent Euro, l'équipe dont Shevchenko était alors le sélectionneur était allée jusqu'en quarts de finale, sortie par...

New York (AFP) - Billionaire Tottenham Hotspur mogul Joe Lewis has avoided prison in an insider trading case, with a New York judge on Thursday instead giving him three years' probation and a $5 million fine. Judge Jessica Clarke also imposed sweeping restrictions on his company Broadbay, calling his offending "undoubtedly serious" but sparing the 87-year-old businessman from time behind bars. "I'm here today because I made a terrible mistake. I'm ashamed, I'm sorry," Lewis said in a hushed voice before sentencing, following his guilty plea for supplying insider market information to acquainta...

Nashville (AFP) - Gio Reyna celebrated his return to the USA starting line-up with two goals as the Americans thrashed Ghana 4-0 in a one-sided friendly on Tuesday. Reyna returned to the USA squad this month for the first time since a bitter public spat with coach Gregg Berhalter stemming from last year's World Cup in Qatar. And the Borussia Dortmund attacker slotted back into the American team in style in Nashville on Tuesday as Berhalter's men ran riot against an outclassed Black Stars side. Reyna opened the scoring at Geodis Park after just 10 minutes, sweeping home an emphatic finish after...
