  Great Britain Prime Minister Boris Johnson has condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin for a missile strike in Odessa, Ukraine. Scores died on Monday after a Russian missile struck a shopping centre. This comes a few days after the incessant attacks on Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv. According to the prime minister, this recent hit on the day Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the G7 summit, would strengthen the resolve of allies to resist Putin. He said: “This appalling attack has shown once again the depths of cruelty and barbarism to which the Russian leader will sink.” “Once again, our thoughts are with the families of innocent victims in Ukraine. “Putin must realise that his behaviour will do nothing but strengthen the resolve of Ukraine and every other G7 country to stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.” Johnson is said to have told fellow leaders that it was “stupid of Putin” to attack Kyiv “when all of us are in the same place because it is only going

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), the country’s central bank, has raised its benchmark interest rate from 80 to 200 percent, citing spiralling inflationary pressures amid rising fuel prices. John Mangudya, the bank’s governor, announced this in a statement following the meeting of the bank’s monetary policy committee (MPC).

  Bitcoin (BTC) visiting the $20,000 range after one and a half years made mining — the most important job of the ecosystem — a costly affair. However, if history were to repeat itself, BTC investors may witness another epic bull run that previously helped Bitcoin reach an all-time high of $69,000. Changes in Bitcoin prices directly impact the miners’ income, who earn fixed block rewards and transaction fees in BTC for running their mining operations. In June 2022, the total mining revenue dipped below the $20 million range, with Blockchain.com data recording the lowest dip of $14.401 million on June 17. The recent dip in Bitcoin mining revenue was last seen one year back when the total value tanked to $13.065 million on June 27, 2021 — back when BTC traded at roughly $34,000. What followed after that was Bitcoin’s 5-month-long epic bull run, which was supported by pro-crypto initiatives such as El Salvador’s BTC acceptance and crypto-friendly regulations across the globe.

His words, “It does, it does very much so (concern me),” “I thought people who come in there would’ve left Petr Cech in his position and the lady who done an unbelievable job – I’m sorry I can’t pronounce her name. But done a great job at the club, I think you shadow them, keep them there and shadow them. It’s not baseball or basketball, you’re not doing trade. This is professional football, I’m quite shocked

 Fifa  has announced that it will allow countries to select up to 26 players for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, increasing the maximum squad size by three for the 21 November - 18 December upcoming tournament. "The number of players to be included on the final list has been increased to at least 23 and a maximum of 26," Fifa said in a statement.

National teams had named squads of 23 players at the World Cup and European Championship ever since th

  World Rugby earlier today said that it was concerned by reports of allegations that the leaders of the France 2023 World Cup organising committee created a toxic environment in which staff were verbally abused and overworked.

  Inter will re-sign Romelu Lukaku on loan after his failed first year at Stamford Bridge. The Blues club-record signing for £100 million ($136m) will leave for just an €8m (£7m/$8m) loan fee with the potential to earn more through performance-related add-ons. Lukaku hired a lawyer especially to force the transfer and will take a pay cut to ensure his return to San Siro. Todd Boehly has prioritised the negotiations around Lukaku to kickstart Chelsea's summer. The Blues were keen to get his club-high £325,000-a-week wages off their books after a breakdown in the relationship between the striker and manager Thomas Tuchel. This is despite Chelsea effectively paying Lukaku to play for Inter with yearly installments on his transfer set at €23m (£20m/$24m). Roc Nation, the sports agency owned by Jay-Z, helped facilitate talks which involved their client, Lukaku, and Boehly, who they've worked with extensively in the past. The deal shows that Boehly and the new Blues consortium
