Valencia fined £39k for Vinicius racism, Kempes Stand shut for five games by Spanish FA

Pent TV, Sports News, World News

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". The Mario Kempes stand, where the chants targeting Vinicius originated in Valencia's 1-0 win on Sunday, will be closed for Valencia's one remaining home game this season and the first four matches of next season. However, Valencia, who have also been fined €45,000 (£39,000), say the ruling is "unfair" as it harms the fans who were not involved in the "shameful" incident. The club have said they will appeal the partial closure of the stadium. Meanwhile, Vinicius' red card, issued in the wake of the abuse suffered in Valencia's victory over Real Madrid on Sunday night, has also been overturned b...

Sheikh Jassim increases bid to buy Manchester United from Glazer family

Pent TV, Sports News, World News

Qatar's Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS previously submitted their third and final bids to buy Man Utd on April 28; Sheikh Jassim's renewed offer would clear almost £1bn worth of debt at Man Utd and distribute ring-fenced funds for the club and community Sheikh Jassim's renewed offer, believed to be close to £5bn but shy of the Glazer family's £6bn valuation, was submitted to the Raine Group, the New York-based investment bank overseeing the sale of the club, on Tuesday morning. The third and final round of bidding concluded on April 28 but, with reports last week claiming a revised offer from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS had put them in pole position to acquire United, Sheikh Jassim has moved again.

Manchester City vs Real Madrid-WHO WINS TONIGHT?

Pent TV, Sports News, World News

Match Preview It’s not an exaggeration to suggest this is the biggest game in Manchester City’s recent history. With the Premier League title all but wrapped up after Arsenal’s defeat to Brighton at the weekend, and a FA Cup final against Manchester United – where City will be heavy favourites – Real Madrid stand between them and the chance of going for an historic treble. Granted, Inter Milan will be no pushovers in the final should they overcome rivals AC Milan in the other semi-final, but Pep Guardiola’s team are sure to be overwhelming favourites in that final too, should they get there. But this is the Champions League. And this is Real Madrid, a side that thrive in knockout competition. So much so that it can sometimes feel like they can channel black magic to drag themselves o...

Neville: Klopp sent Man Utd and Newcastle a message: ‘He’s coming for you!’

Sports News, World News

Gary Neville believes Newcastle and Manchester United will be sweating over Liverpool's late-season resurgence in the race for Champions League qualification. Curtis Jones' double pushed Leicester to the brink of relegation as the Merseysiders cruised to a 3-0 win at the King Power Stadium - two years to the day since the Foxes' FA Cup triumph. The midfielder's first-half brace and Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunner eased the visitors to victory as the hosts capitulated to leave them staring at the drop. That it came on the anniversary of their first ever FA Cup win underlined the 2016 Premier League champions' fall from grace - but Liverpool moved to within a point of Manchester United as their late charge for the top four continued. Jurgen Klopp celebrated wildly with his t...

Ghana first to approve ‘world-changer’ malaria vaccine

Headlines Today, Health & Wellbeing, World News

Ghana is the first country to approve a new malaria vaccine that has been described as a “world-changer” by the scientists who developed it. The vaccine – called R21 – appears to be hugely effective, in stark contrast to previous ventures in the same field. Ghana’s drug regulators have assessed the final trial data on the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness, which is not yet public, and have decided to use it. The World Health Organization is also considering approving the vaccine. Malaria kills about 620,000 people each year, most of them young children. It has been a massive, century-long, scientific undertaking to develop a vaccine that protects the body from the malaria parasite. Trial data from preliminary studies in Burkina Faso showed the R21 vaccine was up to 80% e...

Pope Benedict XVI: Thousands pay respects at the Vatican

International, World News

Thousands of people have been paying their respects to former Pope Benedict XVI at his lying in state in the Vatican. He died on New Year’s Eve at the age of 95, almost a decade after he stood down because of ill health. Pope Francis will preside over Thursday’s funeral – the first time a Pope will be buried by his successor. As dawn broke over the Vatican, a queue had already formed at the edge of St Peter’s Square. At the very front was Father Alfredo Elnar, 30, from the Philippines. He said he had studied and admired the theological writings of the former pontiff, and spoke of an emptiness since his death. A little further back, Sister Marianna Patricevic, a nun from Croatia, talked of how grateful she was for all the late pope had done – saying there was not a subje...
