Valencia will have to close the stand where Vinicius Jr was racially abused for five games after a ruling by the Spanish FA, which the LaLiga club describes as "disproportionate and unfair".

Additionally, most of our foods prepared at home such as banku are all wrapped in plastic sheets. I had to educate my junior sister who studied catering in school not to wrap hot banku and foods in plastic rubbers. The dangerous thing is that the leftover banku is further boiled in hot water with these plastic rubbers. The question I keep on asking is whether we are ...
