Mascherano to quit Argentina after World Cup.

Veteran Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano said Thursday he will step down from international duty after the 2018 World Cup. The versatile Barcelona star, who turns 34 next June, is Argentina’s second most-capped player with 139 appearances for his country and played in the 2014 World Cup final defeat to Germany. He is also a four-time runner-up in the Copa America — finishing on the losing side in 2004, 2007, 2015 and 2016. “My time in the national team finishes in Russia, I won’t go any further,” Mascherano told Argentine TV station TyC Sports. “(Coach Jorge) Sampaoli will decide if I should be selected for the World Cup or not.” Mascherano started Tuesday’s 3-1 South American qualifying victory in Ecuador that guaranteed Argentina a place at next year’s finals in Russia. He is four caps short of equalling Inter Milan legend Javier Zanetti’s Argentina record. Mascherano joined Barcelona from Liverpool in 2010 and is under contract at the Camp Nou until 2019.

US goes it alone on iran talk..

President Donald Trump will unveil a new US Iran strategy on Friday and is expected to withdraw backing from the Iran nuclear accord, undermining a landmark victory of multilateral diplomacy. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump would unveil a broad plan to counter Iran at 12:45 pm (1745 GMT). She did not elaborate, but Trump is expected to declare to Congress that retaining the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement is no longer in the US national interest. This in itself does not mean the deal will collapse. US lawmakers will have 60 days to decide whether they want to “snap back” the sanctions Washington has suspended. But it will mark a clear break with America’s allies, who have pleaded with Trump to respect the accord, and a fierce blow to the multilateral international order. The agreement was signed between Iran and six world powers Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the US — at talks coordinated by the European Union. UN nuclear inspectors say...

US withdraws from UNESCO.

The United States announced Thursday that it will withdraw from the United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organization, accusing the body of “anti-Israel bias.” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Washington would establish an “observer mission” to replace its representation at the Paris-based agency. The United States was angered in 2011 when UNESCO members granted Palestine full membership of the body, despite opposition from its ally Israel. Washington opposes any move by UN bodies to recognize the Palestinians as a state, believing that this must await a negotiated Middle East peace deal. But US President Donald Trump’s administration is also reviewing many of its multilateral commitments, pursuing what he calls an “America First” foreign policy. Nauert said the State Department had notified UNESCO’s outgoing Director-General Irina Bokova of their decision earlier Thursday. “This decision was not taken lightly, and reflects US concerns with mounting ...

Kano Youth, Women Consume 3m Bottles Of Codeine Daily .

Over 3m bottles of codeine syrup are consumed daily in Kano and Jigawa states by women and youths, the Senate said yesterday. The revelation was sequel to the adoption of a motion by Senator Baba Kaka Bashir Garbai (APC,Borno) and 37 others on the need to check the rising menace of pharmaceutical drug abuse among youths. The motion was seconded by Senator Jibrin Barau (APC, Kano). Garbai said research has shown that abusers of the codeine syrup in Kano and Jigawa states take up to 3 to 8 bottles per day. He said while the abuse of prescriptive drugs and cough syrups had been thought to be a problem typical in the North-Western part of the country, investigations have shown an incredible spike in drug-abuse in Borno State and the Northeast ravaged by Boko Haram. “The increasing abuse of cough and prescriptive drugs, among the youth and women across the 19 northern states has resulted in meaningless deaths, rendered them largely unproductive and has devastated many upper and middle clas...

Pope to visit Myanmar as anti-Rohingya hatred seethes.

Pope Francis will push for peace during his visit to Myanmar, a church official said Thursday, a trip that plunges the pontiff into the centre of a simmering religious conflict which has sparked an exodus of Muslim Rohingya. Myanmar’s western Rakhine state has been torn apart by communal violence, sending more than 520,000 Rohingya racing over to neighbouring Bangladesh since late August. The leader of the world’s Catholics will visit both nations on a highly charged trip in late November — although there are currently no plans to visit strife-torn Rakhine or the refugee camps in Bangladesh. “We don’t know yet what will be in his speech… but he is coming for the sake of the country and he will be talking about peace,” Father Mariano Soe Naing, a spokesman for the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of Myanmar, told AFP. “There won’t be any interfaith meetings (in Myanmar) because of the lack of time,” he added. He will talk with de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace p...

Harvey Weinstein in Sexual Assault Again ( Lea Seydoux).

French actress Lea Seydoux Wednesday became the latest in a string of female Hollywood stars speaking out to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. Writing in the Guardian, Seydoux claimed “everyone” in Hollywood knew “what Harvey was up to.” “That’s the most disgusting thing,” she wrote. “It’s unbelievable that he’s been able to act like this for decades and still keep his career.” Seydoux, who was awarded the Palme d’Or at the Cannes film festival in 2013 for her performance in “Blue Is the Warmest Color,” said she herself was harassed after meeting Weinstein for drinks in the lobby of a hotel. “He acted as if he were considering me for a role. But I knew that was bullshit,” she wrote. Weinstein then invited her to his room, she said, where he “jumped on her” and tried to kiss her after his assistant left. “It was hard to say no (to the invitation) because he’s so powerful. All the girls are scared of him,” she said. “I had to defend myself. He’s big and ...
