The nature of cruelty for Scotland supporters demonstrated how far their team has progressed. With a point needed from this game to seal promotion from Nations League B, to pass England and to leap into pot two for the upcoming Euro 2024 draw, Steve Clarke’s makeshift team scrapped in a manner which deserves the highest of praise. Not so long ago the Tartan Army were continually watching international football’s equivalent of a lost cause. In Clarke the Scottish FA have landed upon a coach who has raised standards and aspirations. Yes, Scotland rode their luck and yes, Ukraine will claim with plenty of justification…

Major air carriers in Canada have issued statements criticizing how the federal government managed the pandemic in their sector after it announced measures would be lifted on Oct. 1, with Air Canada saying they weren’t based on science. “Air Canada welcomes the removal of these restrictions, acknowledging that air travel is safe and that the measures were not justified by science,” Craig Landry executive vice-president and chief operating officer at Air Canada said in a statement. Landry added this will “greatly” facilitate travel and help to stabilize the sector and the Canadian economy. The Air Canada statement came on Sept. 26, a few hours…

A Gibraltar court announced on Tuesday that a luxurious superyacht linked to a Russian billionaire currently under EU and U.K. sanctions was sold at an auction last month for $37.5 million. The 237.8 feet (72.5-meter) long vessel, Axioma, which had been owned by oligarch Dmitry Pumpyansky, was docked in Gibraltar on March 21 and was subsequently detained by authorities following a complaint filed by U.S. creditor JP Morgan. The American bank said the yacht’s alleged owner, steel pipe manufacturing company, OAO TMK, owned by Pumpyansky, had reneged on the terms of a €20.5 million loan ($21.7 million). Gibraltar’s Admiralty Marshal, the branch of the U.K. overseas territory…

Mohammed bin Salman has been named prime minister of Saudi Arabia in a move that experts said would probably shield the crown prince from a potentially damaging lawsuit in the US in connection to his alleged role in the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Saudi Arabia announced on Tuesday that King Salman was making an exception to Saudi law and naming his son as prime minister, formally ceding the dual title of king and prime minister he had personally held until now. The development is not likely to change the balance of power in Saudi Arabia, where the 37-year-old…

A Labour MP has had the party whip suspended after she was accused of making a “racist” comment by claiming that the chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, was “superficially” black. Rupa Huq, a former shadow Home Office minister, was recorded at an event held on Monday during a fringe event as part of Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool hosted by British Future and the Black Equity Organisation and also attended by the party’s chair, Anneliese Dodds. Huq can be heard on a short recording obtained by the Guido Fawkes website saying: “I’m sorry if I was not making myself understood clearly. He superficially…

BERLIN—Denmark’s maritime authority said Monday that a gas leak had been observed in a pipeline leading from Russia to Europe underneath the Baltic Sea and that there is a danger to ship traffic. The operator of Nord Stream 2 confirmed that a leak in the pipeline had been detected southeast of the Danish island Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. The pipeline runs 1,230 kilometers (764 miles) from Russia through the Baltic Sea to Germany. It is completed and filled with gas, but gas has never been imported through it, dpa reported.

A state funeral for Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has been held in Tokyo amid public anger over the cost of the ceremony and revelations over his party’s ties to a controversial religious group. More than 4,000 guests, including the US vice-president, Kamala Harris, and the British foreign secretary, James Cleverly, stood in silence as a member of Japan’s self-defence forces entered the Nippon Budokan hall, where a 19-gun salute sounded in honour of the assassinated former leader. Abe’s widow, Akie, dressed in a black kimono, carried her late husband’s ashes into the hall, followed by Japan’s crown prince, Akishino,…

It was shaping up to be a night when Harry Maguire hogged the wrong kind of headlines, when Gareth Southgate endured more pain, when the soul-searching around England and their manager deepened. The team had been promising in the first half against their old foes, hinting at good things without making them happen. And then it all threatened to fall apart. Maguire had been booed by some of those present when his name was announced before kick-off. Having found his feet, some others chanted his name on the half-hour. But it lurched the other way again when he erred at the start…

A doctor who promoted COVID-19 vaccines is now calling for health authorities around the world to pause administration of two of the most-widely utilized COVID-19 vaccines, asserting that the benefits from the vaccines may not outweigh the risks. “There is more than enough evidence—I would say the evidence is overwhelming—to pause the rollout of the vaccine,” Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist and evidence-based medicine expert, told The Epoch Times. A paper from Malhotra was published on Sept. 26 detailing the evidence. Among the citations is a recent reanalysis of the Pfizer and Moderna clinical trials that concluded vaccinated trial participants were at higher risk of serious…

A majority of young Americans who suffered heart inflammation after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine had abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC researchers have been following youth who experienced myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, after receipt of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, both of which utilize messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. Researchers reported in The Lancet on results from surveys filled out by the young Americans and their health care providers. They included results from 47 percent of the 836 patients aged 12 to 29 who experienced myocarditis after…
