Islands Brothers are back on track after a dominant 16–1 victory over Capital Bullets as the SIFF Super Beach Soccer Challenge entered match day two on Tuesday at the SIFF Headquarters Beach Soccer Pitch. Coming off a disappointing 2–1 defeat to Moi in their opening Group B fixture, the side from Kwai and Ngongosila bounced back in entertaining fashion and showing exactly why they are among the tournament favorites. Bilikiki’s prolific goalscorer, Max Fa’ari, was in sensational form for his local side, finding the back of the net seven times to move top of the competition’s goal-scoring chart. Speaking after the emphatic win, Islands Brothers coach Abraham Misitom said the result has boosted his team’s confidence as they aim for the title. “After that disappointing defeat in the opening match, the boys managed to regroup. We worked on our mistakes and came back stronger today,” Misitom said. With several national...

In medieval times, the name Ghana meant ruler of the Ghana Empire, or “King of Gold.” The country’s colonial-era name, Gold Coast, also symbolized the importance of the metal in the country and region. But how gold is mined today, and who it is mined for, has become contentious. Record-breaking commodity prices and climate change have partly led to an explosion of galamsey, a byword for illegal artisanal mining. It is estimated to employ a million Ghanaians, and a host of environmental, agriculture and health problems has ensued.   “In Ghana, we face what I call an existential threat. Our own survival is being challenged by the poisoning of our water bodies, the destruction of our forest reserves and farmlands. Our water is not safe. Our food is not safe,” says Awula Serwaa, co-founder of Eco-Conscious Citizens, which is against galamsey. While the practice used to revolve around abandoned goldfields, artisanal mining now involves sophisticated earth moving equipment. Ghanaian cocoa...

Javor i Partizan danas igraju ranije odloženi meč 2. kola Superlige Srbije, a zbivanja iz Ivanjice možete uživo da pratite uz prenos na portalu “Novosti”. Foto: Printskrin/Arena sport Javor – Partizan 1:1 Utakmica je počela posle minuta tišine zbog tragične smrti trenera kragujevačkog Radničkog, Mladena Žižovića, tokom superligaške utakmice u Lučanima protiv Mladosti. Njegov kolega Radovan Ćurčić, strateg Ivanjičana, rano se ponadao da će njegova ekipa postići gol na meču sa Partizanom, a udarac Bajerea iskosa s leve strane nije bio dovoljno precizan u drugom minutu. Daleko opasnija je bila ekipa Marka Jovanovića, kada je Zubairu u polukontri centrirao s leve strane, Sek iz srca kaznenog prostora odložio loptu za kapitena Dragojevića, a ovaj snažno šutirao sa ivice šesnaesterca – i za malo prebacio metu. Na drugoj strani terena vrlo je ozbiljno u 12. minutu bilo ubacivanje lopte sa desnog krila u peterac, gde je Ugrešić ispred...

Damals wurde Richard Wagner gespielt, diesmal Hanns Eisler: Am Mittwoch fand in der Wiener Staatsoper ein Festakt statt, der das Schweigen beim Festakt zur Wiedereröffnung des zerbombten Opernhauses vor 70 Jahren dröhnen ließ. Als dann endlich alle, samt Bundespräsident, Außenministerin, Wiener Bürgermeister, in Kälte und Sonnenlicht vor der Staatsoper standen, wurde ein offizieller Festakt doch noch zu einem bewegenden: Danielle Spera, ehemalige Direktorin des Jüdischen Museums Wien, wurde die Rolle zuteil, die Gedenktafel einzuweihen, mit der den Opfern des Nationalsozialismus gedacht wird, die an diesem Haus tätig waren. Davor? Gab es hier keine solche Stätte des Andenkens. Dabei, so Staatsoperndirektor Bogdan Roščić, wurde in der Staatsoper gleich nach dem Einmarsch der Nationalsozialisten „besonders streberhaft“ an der „Arisierung“ gearbeitet. „Mehr als 100 Personen mussten die Oper verlassen: 21 Sänger und Sängerinnen, 19 Musiker, 12 Chormitglieder, 19 Tänzerinnen und Tänzer“, zählte Spera in ihrer Rede auf. Darunter waren Berühmtheiten ihrer Zeit wie...
