Havertz strikes in stoppage time as Arsenal steal Champions League advantage at Sporting

Kai Havertz snatched a dramatic stoppage‑time winner as Arsenal earned a 1 0 away victory over Sporting CP in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final in Lisbon. Mikel Arteta’s side arrived under pressure after back to back domestic cup disappointments but found a late moment of quality to tilt the tie in their favour. Both teams hit the crossbar in an open first half, with Sporting’s Maximiliano Araújo denied by a fingertip save from David Raya before Noni Madueke rattled the frame directly from a corner at the other end. Chances remained limited after the break, and Raya had to produce a big stop to keep out a close range header from Geny Catamo with just minutes left. The decisive moment came in the 90+1st minute when substitute Gabriel Martinelli floated an excellent ball over the Sporting […]

China says it ‘welcomes’ Middle East ceasefire agreement

China has said it “welcomes” the ceasefire agreement reached in the Middle East between the parties to the Iran conflict. “China welcomes relevant parties announcing the reaching of a ceasefire agreement,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters at a regular briefing in Beijing. She expressed hope that all sides would “earnestly implement” the truce, which includes a two‑week halt to strikes and a controlled reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping. China reiterated its long‑standing position that hostilities in the region must stop immediately to prevent further escalation and spillover. Beijing’s foreign ministry said the country supports diplomatic efforts and dialogue to resolve disputes, and backs a greater role for the United Nations and Gulf states in promoting regional security. Foreign Minister Wang Yi previously outlined a framework calling for an immediate ceasefire, protection of civilians and […]

North Korea fires two rounds of ballistic missiles – Seoul military

North Korea has fired two rounds of ballistic missiles toward the sea off its east coast, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff. The launches, carried out from the eastern coastal region around Wonsan, mark Pyongyang’s second straight day of missile tests. Seoul’s military said it detected “multiple ballistic missiles” on Wednesday morning but was still analysing their exact type, range and altitude. The projectiles flew toward the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, before falling into waters outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone, Japanese officials said in a separate statement. The tests come a day after the North fired another suspected ballistic missile and hours after it ridiculed South Korea’s calls for dialogue, reaffirming that it sees the South as its “most hostile enemy state”. Analysts say the back‑to‑back launches are likely a protest against recent […]

ADC crisis deepens as David Mark‑led NWC, state chairmen clash over party control

The leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress has worsened as a bloc of state chairmen has openly clashed with the David Mark‑led National Working Committee over control of the party. The 25 chairmen, who say they constitute the core of the party’s National Executive Committee, announced in Abuja that they have collectively assumed interim leadership of the ADC. Their move follows the Independent National Electoral Commission’s decision to delist Mark and National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola from its records and to stop recognising any of the contending factions pending a court ruling. INEC’s action, based on a Court of Appeal judgment in the leadership dispute between Mark and Nafiu Bala Gombe, effectively left the party without an officially recognised national chairman. Led by Abia chairman Don Norman Obinna, the state chairmen rejected both the Mark coalition and the Gombe camp, […]

Strait of Hormuz reopens as US, Iran agree two‑week ceasefire

Iran has confirmed a conditional two‑week ceasefire with the United States that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic under tight military control. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said ships will be allowed “safe passage” through the vital waterway for 14 days, provided all attacks against Iran are halted. The arrangement follows President Donald Trump’s announcement that he would suspend bombing Iran for two weeks if Tehran completely reopened the strait for global oil and gas flows. Both sides are presenting the 11th‑hour truce as a victory, with Washington citing pressure on Iran and Tehran claiming it forced the US to pause strikes and recognise its control over Hormuz. Markets have reacted positively, with global oil prices sliding by around 15 percent and stock indices rallying on hopes that exports from the Gulf can resume, even if partially. Analysts, […]

Troops, DSS and volunteers repel Niger bandits’ attack, kill scores

A combined team of security forces and local fighters has repelled a major bandits’ attack in Niger State, killing scores of the assailants after a prolonged gun battle. The operation involved operatives of the Department of State Services, troops of the Armed Forces and community‑based volunteers who were alerted after terrorists stormed rural communities. Security sources said the confrontation began when heavily armed bandits linked to notorious kingpins Dogo Gide and Leyi attacked Chibani village in Munya Local Government Area, killing one resident and injuring a policeman and another villager. The following day, about 200 bandits reportedly advanced on a security base in Kuchi town, also in Munya LGA, prompting a swift counter‑offensive by the joint team. In the firefight that followed, security operatives “neutralised scores” of the attackers, with many others fleeing with gunshot wounds and several of their […]

U.S., Iran agree two‑week ceasefire as Hormuz passage set to resume

The United States and Iran have agreed to a conditional two‑week ceasefire that will see a partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping and oil tankers. The deal, announced late Tuesday just before President Donald Trump’s deadline for possible massive strikes on Iran, was brokered with help from Pakistan and other regional intermediaries. Under the arrangement, the U.S. and Israel will halt air and missile strikes on Iranian territory for 14 days, while Tehran commits to allowing “safe passage” through the strategic waterway in coordination with its armed forces. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement that, for the duration of the ceasefire, ships can transit the strait subject to “technical limitations” and prior coordination with Iranian military authorities. Trump hailed the agreement on social media as a “double‑sided ceasefire,” claiming Washington had already met […]

Amad backs ‘right man’ Carrick to get permanent Manchester United job

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has thrown his weight behind interim boss Michael Carrick to become the club’s permanent head coach. Speaking at United’s training camp in Dublin, Amad said the players believe Carrick is “the right man” for the job after his impressive start in charge. Carrick returned to Old Trafford as interim head coach in January following the sacking of Ruben Amorim and has since overseen just one defeat in 10 matches, with seven wins and two draws. That run has put United back on course for a Champions League return, with four wins and a draw from their final seven league games likely to be enough to seal qualification. Amad praised Carrick’s experience, understanding of the club and his strong relationship with the squad. “He has a lot of experience, he knows the club and has the […]
