Palestinians take Al Jazeera on a journey to demonstrate the difficult conditions at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s distribution centers. Since May, more than 1, 000 people have been killed at GHF sites by Israeli forces. Observers criticize Israel’s cruel and absurd aid policies.
World football organization FIFA revealed that a group of Afghan refugee players took part in the first of three global talent identification camps held in Sydney last month as part of efforts to create a 23-player women’s squad for friendly internationals this year.
After the Taliban seized power over the government in 2021, many women’s national team players fled the country because they feared persecution, and they have since fought for their international eligibility after being exempt from World Cup qualifying events.
Women’s sports are now prohibited by the Taliban-controlled Afghan Football Federation, which violates the team’s goals, which call for national federations to recognize them when they compete abroad.
According to the Taliban, it upholds the rights of women in accordance with its interpretation of Islamic law and customs, and that local issues should be resolved.
However, there was a glimmer of hope in May when FIFA approved the hiring of Pauline Hamill as coach and the former Scotland international, who would be hosting the first talent camp for the Afghan women from July 23 to July 29 in Sydney.
Hamill, 53, told the FIFA website on Friday, “It’s great to have the players here.”
They can all come together again in a setting they’ve always wanted to be a part of, and we now have the chance to work with them and try to evaluate their performance.
It is an incredible project, in my opinion. The players now have a chance to perform and team up again. Making memories with your team is really special, in my opinion, because they will leave behind memories that they otherwise wouldn’t have made. ”
Later this year, FIFA hopes that Afghan women’s football will return to the international scene with players from the trials taking part in approved friendlies, which is a goal.
Additionally, it stated that it would provide equipment to assist them in establishing connections with neighborhood clubs, facilitate access to counseling, media, and social media training, and help them discover potential educational opportunities and paths to success in the sport.
Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, said, “I’m confident that we have made an important step in the right direction by allowing these women to play internationally while putting their safety and wellbeing first.”
We are proud of what we accomplished, as well as the success we had with this pilot project, and our goal is to include women from other nations in it in the future. ”
One of the camp participants, Nilab, claimed that playing football has been very beneficial for her.
The close bond between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson has been the topic of conversation around the world as the pair continue to remain silent over whether or not they’re in a relationship. But it looks as though the writing was on the wall as far back as last year when the Taken star declared his love for the former Baywatch icon.
In an interview with People magazine, Liam, 73, candidly confessed to being “madly in love” with the mum of two. At the time, he told the publication: “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her.” He added: “She’s just terrific to work with. I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with. She’s going to be terrific in the film.” It comes after it emerged Whitney Houston spent her tragic final moments ‘feasting on food’ with gravy boat in bathtub.

And in response to his remarks, Pamela, who was formerly a pin-up girl after spending a lot of time on Baywatch in the 1990s, called him “the ideal gentleman.”
She continued, “He brings out the best in you with kindness, depth of experience, and respect.” Working with him was an absolute honor.
And while the couple only spoke briefly about their professional lives, Pamela let their relationship grow into what she actually did: prepare meals for him.
She revealed in May that she regularly shared her sourdough bread with him, along with cookies and muffins, and that she also baked it for therapy. In his dressing room, she added, “Leaving her sweet treats.”
Additionally, they interacted with one another while not filming. We spent many evenings with the cast, she continued. In order for our romantic relationship to continue while filming, I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant.
Their chemistry was evident at the Naked Gun premiere in both Berlin and London. When she kissed Liam’s cheek during the London premiere, Pamela sparked rumors of a romance.
The iconic scene from Titanic was recreated during their promotional tour in Berlin, which caused even more wagging.
As they joked around on a boat, Pamela and Liam’s close relationship was immediately apparent to everyone. In the video that was shared with the audience, Liam held Rose, played by Kate Winslet, by the waist like Jack, who Leonardo DiCaprio also played.
In a green gown with a matching neck scarf, Pamela showed off her allure.
From the London to Berlin, this tour has been filled with joy, laughter, and love, she said in the video’s caption. Thank you to everyone who came out to giddy with us (and watch on the big screen)! NYC “Next”

A royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “destroyed themselves” by relentlessly criticising the royal family when they first stepped back from the Firm.
Meghan has long claimed that she has proof of her turbulent time as a working royal in the form of “receipts”, occasionally teasing that she would release the proof in another bombshell move against the monarchy.
However, while peace talks between Prince Harry and King Charles may be going on behind the scenes , a royal expert has claimed that the royal family at large would not be “scared” of any more public jabs.

Jack Royston told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show that it “wouldn’t matter” if the Sussexes yet again spoke publicly against the Firm, given their “villain” status both in the UK and America.
Royston also believed that Meghan’s claims that she had “receipts” about the royals might be her way to discredit a misguided narrative that was exposed in the bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah.
He claimed that “the issue is with how Harry and Meghan piled in on the royals fairly relentlessly.” Particularly, I do believe that the Oprah interview was a botched job. It could have been done differently and better in a way that would be less toxic and destructive.
They have made an obvious effort to refute the racism claim, saying that it has been done either retroactively or back. Meghan obviously fabricated how she described that tale.
“But there’s always been this thing that Meghan’s kind of intimated that she’s got receipts, that was in the days after Oprah, one of her friends went on ITV and said, ‘we’ve got the receipts to prove everything’.
She said, “I’ve never signed anything, so I can say whatever I want,” while also being interviewed. She has also always had this habit of threatening to be sitting on this bombshell with these kinds of subliminal threats.
They did, in my opinion, suggest that they had their diaries lying around during these times. They’ve always been making the case that they could always drop a large nuclear warhead.
Given their significantly lessening public support, Royston believes that both the royal family and royal supporters would be quick to refute any further allegations.
In the end, they ultimately destroyed themselves by basically relentlessly attacking Harry’s own family in a situation where no one was fighting back, he continued.
They may still be sitting on unreliable material, which Harry claims he will never share, so to speak. But it’s no longer important because, even if they did, they are still viewed as villains, particularly in Britain, but even in America, they are no longer seen as such protective people.
I don’t actually believe the royals need to be too afraid of it, even if they are sitting on some unexploded bombs.
Thurles Racecourse will be shut down immediately.
The County Tipperary venue, the only privately held racecourse in the Republic of Ireland, hosted its first race meeting since 1732.
A statement from the Molony family, which has owned the family for more than a century, stated that “ever-increasing industry demands and the cost of doing business” had been a “major factor” in the decision.
Although those dates are currently awaited until December 31st, Thurles still has 11 notable events on the schedule.
We’re going to enjoy this time together and unwind once the news is out before we decide whether to stay together, according to Riona Molony’s statement.
“We are very grateful to our extended racecourse family, our dedicated staff, generous sponsors, devoted supporters, and the wider racing community for your support,” says our family.
Liverpool had offered to sign Alexander Isak, but Newcastle United turned down his offer.
The Magpies’ offer to the Sweden international is less than £150 million, while the Reds’ offer is less than that figure.
Although there hasn’t been any confirmation as to the value of Liverpool’s offer, there are reports that it is worth £110 million plus add-ons.
Isak did not make the Newcastle squad for their pre-season tour of Asia, despite the club’s qualifying for the Champions League this year, because he wants to look into a move away.
In light of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future, Isak is currently training alone at his former club Real Sociedad while the bid from Liverpool has been submitted.
In July, BBC Sport reported that Liverpool was considering moving Isak for upwards of £130 million.
Liverpool have not been able to pounce on Liverpool’s significant interest despite Newcastle’s assertion that he is not for sale this summer.
The Premier League champions have since submitted an official bid after making an initial contact with Newcastle last month.
Although manager Arne Slot is eager to add the striker to his squad before the new season, it is still to be seen whether Liverpool will make an improved bid for the forward.
During the club’s extensive summer of spending, the Dutchman’s squad has already been increased by a number of players.
For a total of about £265 million without add-ons, they have signed Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, and Armin Pecsi.
Eddie Howe, Newcastle manager, announced on July 19 that Isak will “absolutely” be on the team’s pre-season tour of the far east after the Swede missed a 4-0 friendly defeat by Celtic with a thigh injury.
Hugo Ekitike has signed for Liverpool for $69 million from Eintracht Frankfurt as of July 2025.
Isak is ruled out of Newcastle’s squad for their pre-season tour due to a “minor thigh injury” on July 24, 2025.
Isak expresses a desire to relocate to a different city on July 24, 2025.
28 July 2025 – Sources tell BBC Sport that despite the arrival of Ekitike, Liverpool are still interested in signing Isak.
Howe claims Newcastle have not yet received any offers for Isak as of July 29.
Isak trains alone at the former Real Sociedad on July 31, 2025.
Newcastle rejected Liverpool’s initial offer for the Sweden international on August 1, 2025.
