Activists from the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) disrupted Victoria Beckham’s show at Paris Fashion Week.
The BBC reports that demonstrators joined Beckham’s models on the catwalk, wearing T-shirts that read “Animals aren’t fabric” and waved signs reading “Viva vegan leather.”
Beckham’s own fashion brand does not use fur or exotic skins, but PETA were protesting against the designer’s use of leather.
The BBC quotes PETA’s European president Mimi Bekhechi saying: “No garment or accessory is worth violently slaughtering and skinning a sensitive and intelligent animal.
“We are urging Victoria Beckham to turn instead to the ethical and eco-friendly innovations available today, such as high-end leather made from apples, grapes, pineapples, mushrooms and more.”
Beckham appeared unfazed by the protest, taking to the catwalk at the end of the show with crutches and a black protective boot on her left foot, following...

As an Arsenal fan, I almost feel like a traitor for simply watching this documentary. But I do love a good documentary on almost any subject, football ones even more so. There’s been a lot of good Arsenal documentaries too, from 89 to ‘Invincible’ to Rocky and Wrighty: From Brockley to the Big Time, I’ve seen and enjoyed plenty. There’s also an incredible amount of documentaries on the top stars of the game – Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Gazza, the list goes on – so it’s good to see a film on – for want of a better term – a slightly less ‘big time’ player.
That might sound a little harsh on Jermaine Defoe, who has played for many years in the Premier League and in the World Cup for England. He is no doubt a high-profile footballer.

If you want to pick a cute animal to wander about at the heart of your film, alpacas are hard to beat - none more so than an alpaca named Ronaldo who has star billing here and who will even get a haircut matching his footballer namesake in good time. This Peruvian drama from Franco García Becerra is shot in the Quecha language and features both similarly stunning landscapes and cute alpacas to those captured in Alejandro Loayza Grisi’s Bolivian-set Utama.
The film also shares some of its environmental underpinning with Grisi’s film about the challenges faced by those who live in these sorts of rural areas, although Becerra’s film is much more family-friendly. Older children will love eight-year-old Feliciano (Alberth Merma), who has two passions in his life - his alpacas, which he herds with his dog Rambo, and, as you might guess from his favourite alpaca’s name,...

Set against stunning vistas of a snowcapped Andes mountain range, the film revolves around Feliciano, an eight-year-old alpaca herder and avid soccer fan who is giddy about Peru’s increasing chances at qualifying for the World Cup.
But a mining company’s exploits threatens his mountaintop village’s way of life, tarnishing his dreams.

Carlos Alcaraz is in Riyadh for the showdown against Novak Djokovic, and he spoke about his knowledge of the Saudi Arabian capital.
Tennis has been in the Middle East for many years but doesn't have that long of a tradition in Saudi Arabia. The country has been interested in changing that for a while and is slowly executing a plan to do so.
Almost unlimited funds allow them to stage pretty much anything they want, and the Next Gen Finals in Jeddah recently proved quite successful.
Exhibitions last year and the huge showdown between Djokovic and Alcaraz this year is a continuation of that plan. Expect more to come in the upcoming years with an official event to follow. For now, though, we have Djokovic and Alcaraz, which should be an interesting match in a more loose format.

A U.S. appeals court ruled in favor of Cristiano Ronaldo, rejecting an appeal by the lawyer for Kathryn Mayorga to reopen a case alleging the soccer player of raping her in 2009.
The case was dismissed in Las Vegas in June 2022 after Mayorga filed in 2018. Her lawyer argued that U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey should not have rejected Mayorga’s attempt to publicly unseal the confidentiality agreement she signed in 2010 to accept payments from Ronaldo.
An appellate court in San Francisco disagreed with Mayorga. It rejected another argument that Dorsey abused her discretion by dismissing the case with prejudice and refusing to let Mayorga refile. The three judges also levied a $335,000 fine against her lawyer, Leslie Mark Stovall.
“The district court clearly recognized the gravity of dismissing the case and accordingly provided a thorough analysis, amply supported by factual findings,” wrote Judge Johnnie Rawlinson in a six-page opinion.

Iran has denied viral reports that soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo was sentenced to 99 lashes for hugging a married woman while visiting the country.
Renaldo hugged and kissed Fatima Hamimi, an Iranian artist, and thanked her for giving him two paintings on September 18.
The video showing Ronaldo’s moment with the painter was posted on the Instagram page of his Saudi Arabian team, Al-Nassr.
Al-Nassr was in Tehran to play against Persepolis during the AFC Champions League group stage match, which Al-Nassr won 2-1.
Hamimi, who is about 85% paralyzed, paints portraits with her feet. She was one of many fans who showed their love for the soccer phenomenon.
Al-Nassr does not play in Iran for the rest of the tournament’s group stage but might face an Iranian-based team in the knockout stages.
Physical contact with a married woman in Iran is seen as adultery and can lead to severe penalties.

There are times, as a young actor, that you might start to question your career decisions.
Like, for example, when you find yourself buried up to your chin in snow, your head pressed up against the fuselage of a plane and your director starts covering your mouth and nose in even more snow, so much so you can barely breath. That could be the moment when you wonder: “Maybe I should have gone to law school?”
But not Enzo Vogrincic. It was midway through shooting J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow when the 30-year-old Uruguayan actor found himself in exactly that position. The Netflix drama, which will close Venice this year, tells a true, phenomenal story of survival. Of the 45 people, including 19 members of the Old Christians Club rugby team who boarded Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 on Oct. 13, 1972, from Montevideo to Chile.

New Delhi, Aug 12 (Ians) Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli on Saturday rubbished reports suggesting that he rakes in a staggering sum of Inr 11.45 crore from every post of his on the photo-sharing app — Instagram.
“While I am grateful and indebted to all that I’ve received in life, the news that has been making rounds about my social media earnings is not true,” Kohli wrote on Twitter.

Updated, 8:15 Am: Img has locked a series of international broadcast deals for the Saudi Pro League’s (Spl) 2023/24 season.
The confirmed deals span over 130 territories, including what has been described as a “landmark deal” with Dazn in multiple territories as well as Sport TV (Portugal), La 7 (Italy), Marca.com (Spain), and Canal+ (France). Starting from this season, Img will also produce the live world feed, including graphics and English commentary.
The full list of broadcast deals set for the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League are: A1 Bulgaria / Max Sport (Bulgaria), Canal+ (France & French overseas territories), Cosmote (Greece), Dazn, La 7 (Italy), Marca.com (Spain), Prima Sports (Romania), Setanta, Sport TV (Portugal), and Supersport (Albania & Kosovo).
Outside of Europe, rights were picked up by Sony/culver (Indian Sub-continent), Azteca (Central America & Mexico), Spo TV, Sporty TV (Nigeria & Ghana), Azam (East Africa), Band Group (Brazil), Bilibili (China), Goat (Brazil), Kball (China), Migu (China), Network Ten (Australia), StartTimes (Sub-Saharan Africa incl. South Africa), Tencent (China), Zap (Angola & Mozambique), and Zhibo8 (China).
“These agreements come at a time of genuine growth for Saudi Arabian football, with growing interest in the Roshn Saudi league from football fans all around the world,” said Saad Allazeez, Saudi Pro League interim CEO. “The watching world can now enjoy front-row seats as Saudi football transforms, and thanks to the Saudi Pro League strategy, football fans around the world will be able to watch promising young talent from the Kingdom competing and playing with some of the biggest names in world football.”
Previously, 4:23 Am: French pay-tv giant Canal+ has acquired French and African rights for the Saudi Pro League for the coming two seasons.
The announcement for the deal late Tuesday came just days ahead of the kick-off for the 2023-24 season on Friday (August 11), which will feature 18 clubs and run until May 2024.
Canal+ will air two matches a week while highlights will also be featured in its wider sports programs such as Canal Football Club.
The accord comes amid growing buzz around the Saudi soccer league following a flurry of high-profile international signings topped by Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Riyadh-based Al Nassr at the end of 2022.
Img, which was brought into sell international rights for the remainder of the 2022-23 season following Ronaldo’s arrival, is also handling deals for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 season.
The new French deal marks a step up from an agreement struck with Altice France’s Rmc Sport channel midway through the 2022-23 season for select matches featuring Ronaldo.
The Saudi Pro League’s upcoming season is likely to spark particularly strong interest in France thanks to the raft of French players in its ranks.
Former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kanté are with current champions Jeddah-based Al-Ittihad.
French-Ivorian player Seko Fofana, who has played for both national teams, and Senegal’s Sadio Mané play alongside Ronaldo at Al Nassr.
Other players in the league with a strong French following include Senegal’s Kalidou Koulibaly, Serbia’s Sergej Milinković-Savić and Portugal’s Ruben Neves, who all play for Riyadh-based Al Hilal.
The latter club is reported to have courted Psg’s Kylian Mbappé earlier this summer, but without success for now, while there were reports this week that teammate Neymar could be mulling a move to the club.
“We are very happy to be able to offer this brand new football championship exclusively for Canal+ subscribers,” commented Canal+ Director Of Sports Thomas Sénécal.
The Canal+ soccer offering also includes the UEFA Champions League, the UK’s Premier League, the D1 Arkema French women’s football league and France’s Ligue 1.

“It’s going from a league that no-one considered to one that everyone does,” says Adam Kelly.
The Img Media President is talking about the Saudi Pro League, whose profile has skyrocketed this year following soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr at the end of 2022.
A flurry of transfer activity this summer that has seen some of Europe’s top players making the switch to the Gulf state has turned the league into the sports story of the summer. This has led to a raft of ethical questions directed at players and managers, mainly related to Saudi Arabia’s hardline position on many human rights issues and whether the investment is another example of so-called ‘sports-washing.’ It’s also quietly sparked fears from rival leagues such as the Mls that they might be usurped in the soccer pecking order.

Madrid, July 18 (Ians) Cristiano Ronaldo has ruled out returning to play in Europe, while insisting that the Saudi Arabian football league is stronger than the United States’ Major League Soccer. Ronaldo made his remarks after his side Al Nassr were thrashed 5-0 by Spain’s Celta Vigo in the pre-season Algarve Trophy held in Faro, Portugal.
Jorgen Strand Larsen scored a hat-trick as Celta romped to victory in Rafa Benitez’s first game in charge, but speaking in the mixed zone afterwards, Ronaldo was disparaging about Spanish football, a Xinhua report said.
“La Liga has lost quality,” insisted Ronaldo, who said football in Saudi Arabia was now at a high level.
“It is not as UEFA saying that only veterans are coming to Arabia. This year quality players such as Jota or Ruben Neves are going there.
“I won’t return to European football: the door is completely closed. I’m 38 years old,...

Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo posted new shirtless photos that show off his muscled physique – and painted black toes – while lounging on a megayacht.
The 38-year-old Portuguese footballer wore swimming trunks with gold patterned print, alongside the post he captioned “Vacation mood ” during his getaway trip in Sardinia.
Despite his sculpted abs and the smug smile he gave to the camera, fans quickly noticed his toenails painted in black.
“Is that nail Polish ?” one fan asked, while another fan commented, “Love the toenails, Goat .”
In Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez’s Instagram posts of their vacations, the athlete’s black nail paint on ten of his toes are visible.
This is not the first time Ronaldo confidently showed his colored toenails on social media. Back in January, the Mma fighter Francis Ngannou shared a group picture with Ronaldo that revealed his painted toes. And followed by a sauna snap in April,...

Rio de Janeiro, June 17 (Ians) Former Brazil head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has reached an agreement to take charge of Atletico Mineiro on a deal that runs until after his 76 birthday.
The 74-year-old replaces Argentine Eduardo Coudet, who announced his resignation after a 1-1 home draw with Bragantino in Brazil’s Serie A championship last Saturday, Xinhua reported.
“One of the most successful managers in the history of football has signed with [us] until December 2024,” the Belo Horizonte club said in a statement on Friday.
Scolari has been out of coaching since parting ways with Athletico Paranaense last December. He has since served as a director with the Curitiba-based club.
The Brazilian’s 41-year coaching career hit a high point in 2002 when he led a Ronaldo-inspired Brazil to World Cup glory in Japan and South Korea.
He has also had spells in charge of Portugal, Guangzhou Evergrande, Chelsea and Palmeiras,...

"Ted Lasso" is many things: a show about mental health, community and self-improvement, a comedy about culture shock, and a thrilling sports drama about the joys and heartbreaks of association football. When it comes to this last part, the Apple TV+ series is in kind of a weird place. You see, AFC Richmond is a fictional team, but it competes against real teams. For the most part, "Ted Lasso" stays in its own little bubble, in part because the show has its own analogs to real-life players — like Dani Rojas being heavily inspired by Javier "Chicharito" Hernández, or Jamie Tartt serving as a sort of Ronaldo stand-in, or Zlatan being a clear inspiration for Zava.
This isn't to say "Ted Lasso" is entirely disconnected from the real world. The show has plenty of references to real athletes, and there have been some stellar cameos from actual football players and pundits,...

Brazilian football player Vinícius Jr., who is one of Real Madrid’s forwards, was subjected to racist chants after his team was defeated by Valencia in Spain’s La Liga tournament.
During the second half of the game at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia, Spain, Vinícius Jr. called out a fan for alleged abuse and began arguing with the crowd. The referee’s official report of the game described the incident as having taken place in the 73rd minute of the game, when a spectator began shouting “Monkey, monkey” at Vinícius Jr., “which led to the activation of the racism protocol” and halting the game for several minutes until the stadium made an announcement, asking fans to stop insulting and throwing objects at the players.

New Delhi, May 22 (Ians) Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward, Vinncius Jr, was racially abused during his team’s defeat to Valencia in Spain’s La Liga, according to club manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The incident happened in the second half of Sunday’s match, where after a stoppage in play, an animated Vinicius Jr. pointed out a fan in the stands who he believed was abusing him.
The match was consequently suspended for 9 minutes.
He was later sent off for the first time in La Liga for his involvement in a mass altercation with Valencia player Hugo Duro.
“The stadium was shouting ‘monkey, monkey’ at him. He’s just a kid who likes to play football, he wanted to keep going, but in this situation, it’s so tough. The Var has invented an aggression that didn’t exist. He tried to free himself from an assault and he was sent off,...

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have been together for nearly seven years. The couple first met in 2016 when the soccer star walked into the Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodriguez was working at the time. In a March interview with "El Hormiguero" (via Daily Mail), the 29-year-old model revealed that it was "love at first sight" for her. She added, "When I saw him, he was so handsome I felt embarrassed to look at him."
Throughout their relationship, Rodriguez and Ronaldo have had countless red-carpet date nights, traveled the world, and built a family together. And now that Rodriguez has her "I Am Georgina" Netflix show, we're learning even more about their relationship.
Rodriguez seemingly addressed the marriage speculation surrounding her and the 38-year-old athlete during the season two finale of her reality show, saying they "are married in the eyes of God" and "that's all that matters" to her.

Naples, March 24 (Ians) Harry Kane became England’s all-time record goalscorer, as the Three Lions got their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign off to the perfect start with a 2-1 victory over Italy.
The Three Lions skipper struck his 54th international goal, breaking the national record of 53 goals he previously shared with Wayne Rooney, and helped his side claim their first win on Italian soil since 1961.
“It means everything. Once it hit the back of the net, there was so much emotion. It’s just a great night. We haven’t won in Italy for so long to score and win the game is special,” Kane said.
Italy’s defeat was their first in 41 Euro qualifiers, since losing to France in September 2006.

Lisbon, March 24 (Ians) Portugal veteran Cristiano Ronaldo made more history during Portugal’s victory against Liechtenstein in the Euro 2024 Qualifier by becoming the world’s most-capped male international with 197 appearances for his country.
Ronaldo led Portugal to a 4-0 triumph against Liechtenstein, scoring a brace. The veteran’s first strike was a penalty, while his second was a ferocious free kick.
With his 197th international appearance for Portugal Ronaldo leapfrogged Kuwait legend Bader Al-Mutawa (196 caps). Malaysian icon Soh Chin Ann is third on the list with 195 caps, Egyptian Ahmed Hassan (184) on fourth and Oman great Ahmed Mubarak (183) is fifth.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, as of today, is the fifth oldest ever to play for the national team at 38. Only Pepe, Damas, Silvino and Fonte played for Portugal being older.

Manchester, Feb 24 (Ians) Before this Thursday, Barcelona enjoyed the upper hand in their head-to-head series against Manchester United, winning 6 out of the 15 clashes across all competitions in Europe.
In the Champions League, Manchester United, the dominant force in England a couple of decades back, have met Spanish giants Barcelona 10 times, of which the Red Devils have won just once. That win came way back in 2008 when a Paul Scholes goal in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal put the English club in the final. United went on to win that final in what remains their last Champions League triumph.
They have a better record in Europa League in which the two teams have met twice. The first game ended in a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou and the match set a Europa League attendance record of 90,255 fans in the stadium. In the second leg of the same tie,...

Piers Morgan has hosted his fair share of controversial guests since launching his show on TalkTV.
The broadcaster quit Good Morning Britain in March 2021 after refusing to apologise for remarks he made about Meghan Markle, in the wake of her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Morgan later launched Uncensored on TalkTV, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, in April 2021, and has welcomed famous figures for interviews that often generate their own headlines.
Despite this, the show has suffered in the ratings, with the launch show’s figures of 317,000 dropping to as low as 10,000 in 2022.
This could spike due to Morgan’s next guest, Rishi Sunak, who marks 100 days in office as prime minister today (Thursday 2 February). He is scheduled to appear on the programme at 8pm.
While announcing the interview, Morgan wrote on Wednesday (1 February): “My interview with Rishi Sunakâ© tomorrow will be my first ever with a Tory Pm...

Madrid (Spain), Jan 23 (Ians) The 18th round of games in Spain saw both Fc Barcelona and Real Madrid win their respective games, while Real Sociedad continue to press on their heels in third place.
Here are some things we learned in La Liga this weekend.
1. Barca don’t have to show their best
Pedri’s first-half goal was enough to give Fc Barcelona a win at home to Getafe and keep Xavi Hernandez’s side three points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.
It was far from a vintage display from Barca against a rival that posed more problems than many might have expected, but with Ousmane Dembele looking lively in attack and Barca’s defense keeping up an impressive record that has seen them concede just six goals in La Liga all season, they did just about enough to win.

New Delhi, Dec 30 (Ians) Legendary attacking midfielder Robert Pires regards fellow Frenchman, Thierry Henry as one of the best forwards the world has ever seen, especially during Arsenal’s Invincible season of 2003/04.
“Thierry is one of the best strikers for me. And this moment [2003-04] he was maybe number two just behind Ronaldo, the Brazilian. Thierry was an amazing, amazing player,” said Pires on the Home of Heroes show on Sports 18 and JioCinema.
Pires also believes legendary football manager Arsene Wenger is one of the finest managers in the world. “Oh, for me, Arsene is one of the best managers. I know him for a long, long time because he’s French. I’m French. I used to play for Marseille. He was in Monaco and I remember because he called me six months before I joined Arsenal and for me. Yeah, it was a great call from Arsene, from Arsenal.

The debate is never-ending just like the one that rages about the "ghost goal" that sealed England’s victory over West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final at Wembley.
Though there have been players such as Johan Cryuff, Eusebio, Fraz Beckenbauer, George Best and Alfredo de Stefano, who can raise a claim to the honour and are much-respected and idolised, the debate has always been reduced to Pele vs. Maradona.
In the year 2000, the two legends squared off in the FIFA Player of the Century, a one-time award created by football’s global body to decide the greatest footballer humankind has ever seen. Pele and Maradona were adjudged joint winners of the poll.
Initially, the award was to be conducted on the internet, but the rules were later changed to include expert voting through readers of FIFA Magazine and Grand Jury votes, as it was felt that Pele, who was...

New Delhi, Dec 30 (Ians) Arguably the greatest player to play football, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, aka Pele (82), breathed his last at a Sao Paulo hospital on Thursday after losing a prolonged battle against cancer.
The three-time World Cup winner had a colon tumour removed in September 2021 and neither his family, nor doctors, specified whether it had spread to other organs. He was recently under ‘elevated care’ related to kidney and cardiac dysfunction.
Portuguese soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo paid a heart-touching tribute to the ‘Black Pearl’, soon after the news of his demise was madepublic.
Taking to his Instagram handle, Ronaldo wrote: “My deep condolences to all of Brazil, and in particular to the family of Edson Arantes do Nascimento. A mere ‘goodbye’ to the eternal King Pele will never be enough to express the pain that the entire football world is currently embracing.
