Two people were detained by Brazilian police on Sunday in connection with a allegedly foiled plot to attack Lady Gaga’s packed Rio de Janeiro concert, according to a statement released on Sunday.
The civil police of Rio said it had “prevented a bomb attack that would have taken place at Lady Gaga’s concert in Copacabana on Saturday night” with the assistance of the ministry of justice.
Up to two million people attended the superstar’s free beach concert, according to officials.

In a reference to Lady Gaga’s fan-favorite nickname, “Little Monsters,” the Rio police reported on X that they had arrested an adult who was “responsible for the plot” as well as a teenager in the operation.
According to the statement, those responsible “carry out attacks using improvised explosives” online by recruiting individuals for the “gaining notoriety on social media”.
Police searched throughout Rio de Janeiro, as well as in Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul, and Sao Paulo.
The second-million-strong stage show on Copacabana Beach came from Lady Gaga, who gave a sold-out performance last year at Madonna’s massive concert.
With about 5,000 officers, drones, surveillance cameras, and facial recognition cameras deployed, security was extremely tight for Saturday’s show.
The Old Firm Derby on Sunday was, in some ways, a two-number tale.
Cyriel Dessers, the much-denigrated Rangers hitman, is in the blue corner, stomping on chances with harrowing regularity but wallowing in abundance.
Adam Idah, who arrived with a rumored £9.5 million budget and has so far failed to persuade some Celtic supporters, is in the green.
Idah was rewarded for his performance in Norwich City’s second half of the previous season while on loan there on loan, scoring nine goals, the most notable of which came in defeating Celtic’s city rivals to win the Scottish Cup at the death.
The 24-year-old’s performances have received a lot of negative feedback since permanently moving north this summer, especially since Kyogo Furuhashi’s striking fulcrum left in the middle of the season.
Idah fits a very different mold from Daizen Maeda, a fellow Japanese rapier, who has netted a staggering 33 times this term.
Should Celtic alter their possession-based strategy to adopt a more direct approach, he offers size, muscle, and points of interest.
And his output is not at all disappointing.
The Republic of Ireland international started only five of the 14 games that ended in November and the middle of January without scoring.
This term, he has scored 18 goals, three of which were in the Champions League.
At Ibrox, the saga of Number Nine begins.
A minute of wailing, end-to-end drama felt akin to the microcosmed Old Firm Striker saga.
Idah was sent through on goal with half-time approaching. He shot clumsily at goalkeeper Liam Kelly after grabbing a few earlier chances. The Ibrox roared.
Dessers, Vaclav Cerny’s cunning dummy, rolled calmly into the Celtic net after passing Liam Scales, who was Rangers went up the other end.
However, Idah remained unaffected. He was successful in making an effective play with Maeda down the left, linking it with accuracy, and receiving the winning goal.
Adam is unaffected by criticism from us, according to Adam.
Pat Bonner, a former Celtic goalkeeper, believes his former team needs to find another striker for the upcoming season and that his countryman would be better suited in the front two.
On BBC Radio Scotland, he claimed, “They have spent about £9 million on Adam Idah.”
They could reach that height once more to get that out-of-touch striker who can score goals.
They must employ someone there, they say. They can’t just put Maeda and Adam in there.
Adam has scored today, but I’m not sure if he needs to work with him.
Idah’s qualities have been mentioned frequently by Brendan Rodgers, and the Celtic manager once more resolutely praised them at full-time.
We are aware of Adam’s qualities, he said, and he doesn’t get criticism from us.
He only has a season to go, and he’s only going to get better. He plays in the big situations. He scores significant goals and victories. He will always improve.
He doesn’t set his price tag, but people are judging him based on it.
He has consistently demonstrated that he can score goals at every level, according to the company.
Brendan Rodgers’ manager was pleased with the leveller from Idah, which kept Rangers’ 17-point lead over their second-placed city rivals and prevented a third straight loss.
Rodgers continued, “I still believed we were in a good position in the game at half-time.”
We had complete control over the second half of the game. You occasionally have 10-15 minutes where you feel really pressured or pushed against the wall when visiting Ibrox, but I never felt that way.
To intensify Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip, the military will recruit tens of thousands of reserve members.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the announcement on Sunday, despite growing calls from inside Israel for a deal that would release Israeli prisoners imprisoned in Gaza and put an end to the conflict that has claimed the lives of more than 50, 000 Palestinians.
We are sending our reserve personnel tens of thousands of draft orders this week to intensify and expand our presence in Gaza. We are putting more pressure on Hamas to release its [held captives in Gaza] and release its leaders, Zamir said, adding that the Israeli military would “operate in additional areas and completely destroy [Hamas’s] infrastructure both above and below ground.”
During a visit to the Atlit naval base, the military chief made the announcement.
The announcement came ahead of a security cabinet meeting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will lead to discuss a growing Gaza war that has decimated the Palestinian enclave. The meeting will be held in preparation for the meeting.
As humanitarian organizations warn of increased starvation in the territory since Israel imposed a blockade in March, two government officials told Reuters that the cabinet would also discuss the possibility of a new aid shipment to Gaza.
Old Trafford is home to the BBC Sport women’s football news reporter.

The Old Trafford crowd elicited a rousing applause as Melvine Malard celebrated her equalizer like it was a stoppage-time winner. The significance of Manchester United’s outcome was reflected in the result.
It confirmed Champions League football for the upcoming season by coming from 2-0 down to win against bitter rivals Manchester City with 10 players after Aoife Mannion was sent off.
With one game left, United put an end to City’s own hopes of playing in Europe by four points clear.
City will assess where everything went wrong while Marc Skinner’s side now has a chance to look at unique hiring tactics and potential financial gains.
Simply put, United’s 2-2 draw on Sunday was a victory.
It feels like a win to go 2-0 up, then come back, then go down to 10 players, manager Skinner said.
Status, employment, and financial rewards

Before moving up to the Champions League in 2023, United had previously been in this position before, but they ultimately fell short of the qualifying stages a few months later.
Chelsea, the women’s champion of the Super League, will enter the group stage of the competition the following year, while second and third places will enter the qualifying stages, causing United to have to navigate that.
However, they want to go one step further and make an effort to entice the biggest names in Europe to participate.
There are advantages financially. They would receive just over £430, 000 in starting fees and bonus payments in addition, depending on results, if they advanced to the Women’s Champions League group stages.
“It’s huge. We need to recruit the right way next, Skinner said.
We must add the depth necessary to reach the depths of the Champions League and, in our opinion, to reach the group stages.
That’s what the Champions League gives you. A Champions League team is a popular choice. Hopefully, it will help us find that market.
United is also elevated in the women’s game thanks to European football.
They no longer need to rely on Manchester United’s reputation as a club for their success as a whole.
They are also encouraged by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ineos chairman, and his staff’s efforts to persuade them that the women’s team is worthwhile.
Skinner continued, “The women’s team has a young status, but the club has a big status.” We once qualified for Europe, but we have since done it once more, which is a big boost.
The agents are stating that “when we have recruitment calls, it’s always about whether we get to the Champions League.”
Little details and a new data system
United must prepare well for the crucial transfer window Skinner has repeatedly cited while making bigger plans.
United signed Brazilian winger Geyse, goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce, and World Cup Golden Boot winner Hinata Miyazawa when they last entered Europe.
Although Geyse is currently on loan at Gotham FC, American Tullis-Joyce did not make the first team until this year, alongside Miyazawa consistently.
They needed more skill and physicality, according to Skinner, but recruiting players with the same level of experience and skill is a must.
In terms of our recruitment, I have not stopped all year. “We haven’t just waited,” Skinner remarked.
We have a moment to reflect, but it will undoubtedly be a big summer.
How will United ensure that the window is successful?
The club is developing a proprietary analysis system that helps them identify the best players for them based on data and statistics.
The task is being led by technical director Jason Wilcox and women’s recruitment manager Harvey Bussell.
It is becoming much stronger, she said. Although it is still in its early stages, I believe that is the strategy we will employ, Skinner added.
We’ve spoken as a team, we win the Champions League, and then we need to evaluate our budget and market performance.
We are competing in a market, he said. Therefore, I need to use my expertise to discover ways to improve a player.
Rangers have condemned supporters for displaying an “unacceptable” banner that depicts former manager Graeme Souness holding a gun during Saturday’s Scottish Premiership game against city rivals Celtic.
Before Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Ibrox, the tifo display was visible as the players exited the tunnel.
A supporter’s actions were also condemned by Rangers as being inappropriate during the Old Firm derby.
After reaching a settlement over ticket allocation issues, it was the first time Celtic fans could watch an Old Firm game at Ibrox since January 2023.
A Rangers spokesman said, “Rangers Football Club condemns the actions of the person who threw a bottle during today’s game.”
“Our stadium should not tolerate this behavior,” he declared. Once their identity is confirmed, the club will take the strongest course of action against the person responsible. Steps have already been taken to identify them.
We also acknowledge that the tifo displayed prior to kick-off was unacceptable. Our approach to supporting displays has always been based on trust and group responsibility for using fair judgment.
We will examine how these displays are run and speak with supporters’ groups to ensure that the right balance between trust, responsibility, and oversight is maintained going forward.
We all have a duty to maintain the standards and reputation of our club, and Rangers is proud of its devoted fan base.
We are aware of the banner, and inquiries are ongoing, according to a Police Scotland spokesman.

The couple also shared some more heartfelt photos of their trip to Paris, where they spent a night together, watched the Eiffel Tower glisten in the distance, and drank a bottle of Petrus together.
The family – minus Brooklyn – also gathered once again last night for a special dinner celebration in London. His son Romeo did a sweet speech at the event, where he said: “Good evening everyone. I would like to start by thanking you all for being here tonight. I know without many of you in here tonight he wouldn’t be half of the man he is today. But to the man of the moment…”

Meanwhile, David was said to be “heartbroken,” and Brooklyn missed the occasion.
“David is putting a brave face on it, but he is heartbroken.” Although David and Victoria hoped he would change his mind a while back, a source claimed, Brooklyn actually informed his parents that he and his wife, Nicola, would not be attending.

The family, including the grandparents, and their siblings, are all in pain because he hasn’t attended one of David’s 50th celebrations. They only hope things will be fixed soon.
David’s birthday parties were attended by Brooklyn and Nicola, but Brooklyn and Nicola were also invited, according to reports that he had “left his parents hanging” each time. A source insisted that Nicola was the subject of the feud that had been reported, despite the fact that it was Romeo’s girlfriend and Kim Turnbull. They declared, “David and Victoria only want their son back, and they will welcome him whenever they please.”
