England midfielder, Jude Bellingham, believes the national team is better connected heading into this summer’s World Cup than it was during its run to the Euro 2024 final. Bellingham, who played a key role as England reached the final before losing to Spain, reflected on the squad’s experience and said lessons had been learned from the tournament. As reported by BBC Sport on Friday, Bellingham was quoted as saying, “At the Euros we got some things a little bit wrong off the pitch,” Bellingham said on England’s Lions’ Den show. “I don’t feel like the group is connected as well as it could have for a number of reasons. Expectation was part of it.” England entered Euro 2024 among the favourites after reaching the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the quarter-finals in Qatar four years later. However, despite progressing to the final, performances often came under scrutiny. “We...

Ásia, Deutsche Welle, Inglês - How disinformation in Congo is worsening Ebola epidemic
2026-06-12 04:03:33
Three weeks since the start of the latest Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo, there have been 397 confirmed cases, including 63 confirmed deaths, according to the latest figures reported by the African Union’s Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. And yet: “The community does not believe in this disease. Despite the deaths, people don’t believe in it,” said John Tumujimbe, head of a team for dignified and safe burials in the small town of Mongbwalu, one of the epicenters of the Ebola epidemic in the Congo’s northeastern Ituri province. “We initially thought of malaria, typhoid or diarrheal diseases,” Tumujimbe said. “But, after so many deaths, we sent samples to the INRB.” The INRB — Congo’s National Institute for Biomedical Research in the capital, Kinshasa — confirmed that these were indeed cases of Ebola. This led health officials to announce the 17th Ebola epidemic to be recorded in Congo since the virus was first discovered in 1976. Ebola...

Allegations of extortion and bribery have emerged in Kikuube District against officials of the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA), with residents claiming they are being charged illegal fees to access services that are meant to be free. Residents from Kyangwali and Katikara parishes in Kyangwali Sub-county say NIRA officials conducting the ongoing mass national registration exercise are demanding between Shs 10,000 and Shs 30,000 to process services or release National Identity cards. The complaints come amid the nationwide registration and renewal exercise, where government services are officially provided free of charge except for a few gazetted cases such as replacement of lost IDs or correction of particulars. Some affected residents say they have been unable to receive their National IDs because they cannot afford the alleged unofficial charges. Jane Kyakuhaire from Katikara Village alleges she was asked to pay Shs 10,000 before receiving her ID. Harriet Kunihira also claims she...

Yekepa, June 11, 2026: ArcelorMittal Liberia has hired 56 young Liberian artisans as full-time employees after they graduated from the company’s training academy and completed a short-term service period, the company said at a ceremony in Yekepa. The new employees include plant fitters, electricians, boilermakers, mechanics and other skilled tradespeople.

  Leemisa Thuseho  HOPES of an early return for the Bocheletsane Cycling Tour have been dashed after the Federation of Cycling Lesotho (FCL) confirmed that the event will remain on hold until after winter.  The race was initially scheduled for 16 and 17 May, with the flagship 126km route set to start at Matekane Group of Companies (MGC) Park in Maseru and finish in Bocheletsane, Mantšonyane, in the Thaba-Tseka district.  However, the event was postponed due to adverse weather conditions and icy roads along the Mantšonyane route, which posed a significant safety risk to riders.  Since then, cyclists have been eagerly awaiting the announcement of new dates. However, the Lesotho Times has established that the Federation of Cycling Lesotho (FCL) is not planning to stage the race in the near future.  The federation is mindful that winter conditions in Lesotho’s highlands are unsuitable for road cycling. Icy and slippery roads, coupled with freezing temperatures, make racing both difficult and potentially dangerous.  The event offers some of the...
