    Brazil to use army to secure G20 summit

    Brazil's armed forces will provide security during the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro in November. Joe Biden and Xi Jinping are expected to attend the event, among other world leaders.

    Brazil's armed forces will be used to strengthen security during the G20 summit to be held in Rio de Janeiro in November. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.

    Details

    It is noted that the law allows the president of the republic to use troops in a certain region if the police are unable to guarantee an adequate level of security.

    This practice was previously used during major events involving international delegations and large numbers of visitors, such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games.

    Secretary of State for Security Victor Santos explained that the host country of the summit is responsible for the security of all participants. Many leaders have already confirmed their arrival in Rio, including US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

    Rio de Janeiro has recently seen an increase in crime. A high-profile case recently occurred when a group of kidnappers used city buses as barricades to block police officers.

  • New Man Utd manager Amorim ‘will travel to England with three coaches’ on Wednesday

    New Man Utd manager Amorim ‘will travel to England with three coaches’ on Wednesday

    Man Utd manager target Ruben Amorim sits on the bench before a game

    Sporting already know who will replace Ruben Amorim as head coach ahead of the 39-year-old’s move to Manchester United, according to reports.

    Amorim will reportedly replace Erik ten Hag as Man Utd head coach after the Dutchman was sacked on Monday morning.

    He left the Red Devils 14th in the Premier League with three wins from their opening nine matches.

    Assistant coach and club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy has been placed in temporary charge of the first team while the club’s hierarchy finalise a deal to bring in Amorim from Portuguese champions Sporting.

    Van Nistelrooy will manage Man Utd against Leicester in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, while there is hope Amorim can take charge of Sunday’s Premier League clash at home to Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea.

    It has obviously been all about Man Utd and their pursuit of Amorim, while poor Sporting are having to deal with losing a two-time league-winning manager.

    Sporting have made light work of identifying a replacement for Amorim, with reports in Portugal claiming second-team boss Joao Pereira will succeed his former Portugal teammate.

    Meanwhile, it has also been reported that Amorim will ‘travel to England’ on Wednesday and plans on bringing three coaches with him.

    It is believed that Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido and Jorge Vital will all go to Old Trafford with Amorim ahead of the 39-year-old’s move from Sporting.

    Amorim is in charge of Sporting – possibly for the last time – on Tuesday evening when his side face Nacional in the Portuguese League Cup.

    He rested star striker Viktor Gyokeres, who is guaranteed to become a top Man Utd target in January.

    A few Sporting players have been linked with the Red Devils already, including 17-year-old winger Geovany Quenda.

    As for Ten Hag, he is back in the Netherlands and is surprisingly being linked with a move to another club already.

    Reports in Spain suggest Borussia Dortmund are interested in appointing Ten Hag, while reports in his home country state he ‘was on the verge of resigning’ in the summer.

    Speaking on Tuesday, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said he believes Ten Hag will be back at a big club in no time.

    Speaking ahead of the Reds’ Carabao Cup clash with Brighton on Wednesday, Slot said: “He’s a Dutch manager so it makes it even harder for me, for us as Dutch people.

    “Always your first thoughts are with the person. We are all in this job so we know that it can happen but, if it happens, especially because I know him a little bit and I know how much work he puts into it, then to get this news for him is of course a pity.

    “But we also know, especially us coming from Holland, how well he did at Ajax and that he won two trophies over here so we will see him I think in the near future at a big club again.

    “But at this moment for him and his family it’s, of course – tragedy is maybe a bit too much to say – but it’s a big disappointment.”

    Ukraine will receive 2000 Humvee SUVs from the United States

    The United States will provide Ukraine with 2,000 Humvee SUVs as part of a new aid package. The military will use them for various purposes, from transportation to mobile air defense platforms.

    The United States will provide Ukraine with 2,000 Humvee off-road vehicles as part of one of its aid packages. The Armed Forces of Ukraine already have experience in using them in war. This was reported by Forbes, according to UNN.

    Details

    It is noted that such a number of Humvee SUVs is a very large supply of such equipment. In particular, they will help fill the gaps in Ukraine's positions at the front. And the Armed Forces will be able to advance more effectively to the positions of the Russian occupiers.

    Vadania notes that these off-road vehicles look like civilian vehicles, so this alleviates the need for extensive training before they are sent to the front.

    According to Forbes, Humvees fit perfectly into Ukraine's current defense strategy. After all, they can be used in urban environments where tanks and artillery are less effective than more compact and maneuverable off-road vehicles.

    The Ukrainian military can also use Humvees to transport heavy weapons. Or to install machine guns and other weapons on them. In particular, some Ukrainian units have already transformed them into mobile service platforms, which allows them to repair armored vehicles on the move in the field.

    In addition, the Ukrainian military used Humvees as mobile air defense platforms, installing anti-aircraft guns and anti-drone systems on them.

    Finland seized more than 40 objects belonging to Russia

    More than 40 properties and shares belonging to the Russian state were seized in Finland. The seized property includes a science and culture center in Helsinki, a beachfront plot and apartments in various cities.

    Russian property worth tens of millions of euros – real estate and shares owned by the Russian state – has been seized in Finland. This was reported by Yle, according to UNN.

    Details

    The Bailiffs' Service provided Yle with a list of real estate and shares owned by the Russian state and seized in Finland. The seizure order means that the property cannot be sold or transferred.

    There are about forty seized objects, and their total value exceeds 35 million euros.

    Among them are the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Helsinki, a seaside beach area for diplomats, apartments in different cities of Finland, and more. For example, in Turku, four apartments in the city center were seized. The head of the city's international department, Mika Akkanen, said that the city did not know how these apartments were used.

    The day before, Helsingin Sanomat reported that real estate owned by the Russian state had begun to be seized across Finland. The decision to seize means that the property cannot be sold or transferred.

    The actions of the Bailiffs' Service are related to the decision of the International Arbitration Court in The Hague, issued in April 2023. At the same time, the court ordered Russia to pay more than five billion euros to the Ukrainian energy company Naftogaz as compensation for the damage caused by the occupation of Crimea.

  • Who will win the 2025 Ballon d’Or? Real Madrid trio in top five favourites despite boycott

    Who will win the 2025 Ballon d’Or? Real Madrid trio in top five favourites despite boycott

    Ballon d'Or favourites Vinicius Junior and Erling Haaland with 2024 winner Rodri

    Manchester City midfielder Rodri has won the Ballon d’Or, much to the disgust of Real Madrid and their superstar Vinicius Junior.

    Will Vinicius get his hands on the most prestigious individual award in football in 2025? Here are the top 10 favourites, according to the bookmakers…

    Favourites to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or

    10) Phil Foden (Manchester City)
    The first of four England players in the top 10 favourites to win the Ballon d’Or in 2025, Foden will probably win another Premier League title and Man City have a great chance of winning the Champions League, which gives the 24-year-old as good a chance as anyone.

    9) Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
    The fact Palmer is the only player here not in the Champions League this season says everything you need to know about the talent he possesses. Does the Europa Conference League hold any weight in the Ballon d’Or conversation? No. Does carrying Chelsea to an unlikely title challenge? Absolutely.

    8) Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
    Out of contract next summer, Salah could lift the trophy as an Al Ittihad or Al Hilal player. Liverpool will surely need to win the Champions League for this to happen. As a matter of fact, most players here will probably have to win the Champions League. There is no European Championship or Copa America next summer and the African Cup of Nations is not until next December.

    7) Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
    England captain Kane will presumably need to win a trophy to be considered for the Ballon d’Or. And with that, we will automatically rule him out.

    6) Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)
    He deserves it after his 2020 robbery.

    Lewandowski has started the campaign in electrifying form and should have had a hat-trick in the first El Clasico of 2024/25 but missed an open goal from six yards. Bloody typical.

    5) Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
    Finished third in Ballon d’Or voting this year but was not at the ceremony after Real Madrid’s unhinged reaction to Rodri winning it.

    It is incredible to see four England players in the top 10, isn’t it? Makes no trophies under Gareth Southgate look even worse, doesn’t it?

    4) Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
    Rodri sees a Ballon d’Or win in the 17-year-old Barcelona star’s future. Seven-f***ing-teen, by the way. The Kopa Trophy winner is already world class.

    3) Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
    The Nordic goalbot could not get his hands on the trophy in 2023 despite breaking all sorts of records and winning the Treble with City, all because some little guy won the World Cup.

    If he didn’t win it then, he probably never will.

    2) Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)
    It has been a mixed start for Mbappe at Real Madrid. Losing his first Clasico 4-0 was less than ideal. Being offside eight times in the defeat was hilarious. The name alone puts him second above Haaland.

    1) Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid)
    Everyone and their dog expected Vini Jr to get his hands on the trophy but it wasn’t to be. At least Real Madrid have reacted with grace and plenty of decorum, all uniting to congratulate Rodri on his victory.

    In reality, their boycotting antics were childish and very unsportsmanlike. Instead of saying well done to Rodri, Vini posted on social media: ‘I’ll do it 10x if I have to. They’re not ready.’

    According to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, Kamala Harris has the support of 44% of voters, compared to 43% for Donald Trump. The Democrat's lead has shrunk from three to one percentage point in two weeks.

    Recent polls among Americans show that even a week before the election, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is still ahead of her opponent Donald Trump. This was reported by Reuters, UNN.

    Details

    According to the poll, Harris's national approval rating is 44%, while Trump's is 43%. However, only two weeks ago, the Democrat's lead was three percentage points.

  • Man Utd blow: Ratcliffe ‘locked in Amorim talks’ as Sporting ‘notice’ could last ‘number of weeks’

    Man Utd blow: Ratcliffe ‘locked in Amorim talks’ as Sporting ‘notice’ could last ‘number of weeks’

    Ruben Amorim, Viktor Gyokeres, Pedro Goncalves with the Man Utd badge

    Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Sporting manager Ruben Amorim, who has a notice period of ‘a number of weeks rather than days’.

    Erik ten Hag was relieved of his duties on Monday morning and Amorim swiftly became the bookies’ favourites to replace him.

    Several managers have been linked with the Man Utd job this season, including Xavi, Graham Potter, Thomas Tuchel and Brentford’s Thomas Frank.

    Amorim is Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s number-one choice and is expected to become the club’s new head coach after being given the “here we go” treatment from Fabrizio Romano.

    It is a quick turnaround but there are some hurdles the Red Devils have to overcome if they want him in the dugout for Sunday’s Premier League clash at home to Chelsea.

    Man Utd: Amorim potential start date revealed amid Sporting ‘notice’

    According to Daily Mail journalist Mike Keegan, Man Utd are ‘locked in talks’ over Amorim’s start date and fear his first match in charge might not be until November 24 against Ipswich Town.

    This is because the 39-year-old has a notice period of ‘a number of weeks rather than days’, with the Premier League giants’ willingness to pay his £8.3million release clause not impacting his notice period at Sporting.

    Man Utd will be working hard to reach an earlier termination of Amorim’s contract with INEOS eager to see him manage the game against Chelsea.

    There is no doubt that assistant manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will be in charge against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

    The Red Devils’ next two fixtures come on Wednesday and Sunday before a Premier League match against Leicester on November 10.

    There is then a two-week international break, with Man Utd set to face Ipswich at 16:30 on Sunday, November 24, which could be Amorim’s first match.

    The notice period has thrown a spanner in the works and the club’s owners will be working overtime to ensure it is not ‘a number of weeks’.

    Sporting face C.D. Nacional in the quarter-final of the Taca da Liga on Tuesday night before hosting Estrela da Amadora in Liga Portugal on Friday.

    Amorim will be in charge against Nacional and reports in Guardian journalist Jamie Jackson has said Sporting will announce Amorim’s departure for Man Utd after.

    Jackson wrote on X: “Sources in Portugal believe Amorim will be announced as Utd manager post- Sporting game ce soir…

    “Sporting president, Frederico Varandas, also expected at the media conference with Amorim…”

    Meanwhile, reports in Portugal back up Keegan’s report with Amorim ‘expected to stay in charge of Sporting for their game against Estrela da Amadora on Friday’.
