Rumours might be swirling about club captain Nabil Fekir leaving for Liverpool, but Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said Monday “there is no urgency at all” in completing any deal. “I do not have a rendezvous with the Liverpool directors,” Aulas said. “We are prefectly serene. “We try always to go in the same direction as the players. We listen to them carefully,” Aulas said. “We will certainly know more after the World Cup. But for now, he’s a Lyon player.” Fekir is a 24-year-old Lyon-born forward who came through the club’s youth system and is part of the France squad for the upcoming World Cup and for the warm-up game against Ireland on Monday night. “We are hugely proud that a natural talent we developed is in the national squad and I will be at the match tonight when he will play for France,” said Aulas. “If Nabil wishes to play in the Champions League at our Groupama Stadium next season, we will be delighted.” This season, Fekir scored 23 goals and had sev...

The family of a small boy dramatically rescued after dangling from a balcony in Paris have expressed their gratitude the Malian man who saved him. "He's truly a hero," the boy's grandmother said of migrant Mamoudou Gassama, who scaled four floors to pluck the child from danger. The four-year-old's father, who had left him in the fourth-floor flat and gone shopping, faces charges of failing to look after his child, reports say. Mr Gassama is to be given citizenship. President Emmanuel Macron personally thanked him, gave him a medal for courage and said he would also be offered a role in the fire service. The boy had left Réunion, where his mother and grandmother live, about three weeks ago and moved to Paris to join his father, who was working there. His mother and the couple's second child were due to join them in June. His mother told Antenne Réunion that the boy's father was not used to looking after him on his own and had left him alon...

Luigi Di Maio of the populist Five Star Party said President Sergio Mattarella had caused an "institutional crisis". Efforts by PM-designate Giuseppe Conte to form a government collapsed on Sunday after Mr Mattarella rejected eurosceptic candidate Paolo Savona. Five Star had been trying to form a government with the right-wing League. Italy has been without a government since elections in March because no political group can form a majority. Mr Conte has now stepped down and correspondents say President Mattarella has been in talks with former IMF economist Carlo Cottarelli, who is tipped as a potential stop-gap prime minister. But the BBC's James Reynolds in Rome says such an arrangement is unlikely to last and early elections may have to be called. There is now a real argument between the president and the populists about Italy's position in the EU, he adds. What was the reaction? Mr Di Maio called for impeachment under article 90 of the constitu...

The winger came on to smash home an astonishing overhead kick and also added another as Zinedine Zidane's side sealed a third straight European Cup Gareth Bale was signed for moments like this. The Welsh winger was bought by Real Madrid for what was a world record €100 million fee from Tottenham in 2013 and despite criticism over the years, it is fair to say he has paid it all back now. Earlier on Saturday, the Madrid media had speculated that Bale would start the Champions League final against Liverpool in Kiev, something which would have seemed unthinkable just a few weeks ago. With Zinedine Zidane's side 2-0 down at home to Juventus in the quarter-finals and in danger of throwing away their three-goal lead from the first leg, Bale was hauled off at half-time. It was a humiliating moment for the 28-year-old, and it looked like the beginning of the end. But Bale knuckled down and even though he did not start either of the semi-final games against Bayern Munich, he ...

Even with all the advances health-care professionals have made in cancer research, experts say there still seems to be common myths about cancer people are confused over. While claims that cellphones and microwaves can give you cancer may be outdated myths, Shawn Chirrey, senior manager of analysis at the Canadian Cancer Society, says people are still confused over other myths. “There are myths people fixate on,” he tells Global News. “And these things get forwarded to family and friends.” And in the age of social media and access to the internet, there are thousands of reports (often fake) out there about causes or cancer prevention tips people share and believe, he adds. He often sees this with food in particular (eating a type of food can cause or cure cancer) or during the summer, myths around sunscreen giving you cancer. The web can make the problem bigger Cancer Research U.K. notes access to millions of resources on cancer on the web makes it harde...

Morgan Freeman says he did not assault women and that it’s not right to equate misplaced compliments or humour with horrific incidents of assault. The Academy Award-winning actor made a second statement late Friday in response to a CNN report that multiple had women accused him of inappropriate behaviour. A production assistant said Freeman tried to lift her skirt and subjected her to unwanted touching and comments. Other women said Freeman commented about their bodies, or made them uncomfortable by staring at them. Freeman said he tries to make people feel appreciated and at ease around him. He said he made light-hearted jokes and compliments to women. “I am devastated that 80 years of my life is at risk of being undermined, in the blink of an eye, by Thursday’s media reports,” Freeman said in a statement on Friday, a day after he initially apologized. “But I also want to be clear: I did not create unsafe work environments. I did not assault w...

The rancher near the town of Denton shot the creature last week when it came within several hundred metres of his livestock, said officials. State wildlife experts said they have been unable to pinpoint its species. After inspecting the creature, they said they doubt it's a wolf as its teeth were too short, front paws abnormally small and claws too large. Bizarre theories have circulated online that it could be a werewolf, a young grizzly bear or a relative of Bigfoot. In a news release , the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP) said it was a "young, non-lactating female and a canid, a member of the dog family that includes dogs, foxes, coyotes and wolves". "We have no idea what this was until we get a DNA report back," a spokesman for the agency, Bruce Auchly,  told the Great Falls Tribune . He added that it may be up to a week before results come in, which should help identify the cryptid. "Several things grabbed my atte...

Civil rights activists gathered outside of  NFL  headquarters and called on team owners to overturn a new policy aimed at stopping player protests during the national anthem. They also encouraged a boycott of the league and its sponsors. About 50 people gathered Friday at the office building in midtown Manhattan that houses the NFL for a rally organized by National Action Network, a civil rights nonprofit organization. Kirsten John Foy, the Northeast Regional Director for NAN, was the first of 10 speakers. They took turns criticizing NFL team owners and President Donald Trump.

Teams will be fined if players don’t stand.

Canadians are losing trust in the mainstream media, according to a new Ipsos poll. The poll, which was done by Ipsos in partnership with RTDNA Canada, found that Canadians have lost a little faith in the media; 65 per cent of respondents said they had trust in the media, compared to 69 per cent of respondents who said the same in 2017 . Despite that, 79 per cent of respondents said they are still more likely to side with the media over the government, when the government says news reports aren’t accurate. Pollster Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, said that Canadians’ inclination to avoid news of U.S. President Donald Trump could offer a reason for the decline in trust. More than half of respondents (53 per cent) say they try to avoid news about Trump. “One is left with the impression to look at how much people are reacting negatively to coverage of Donald Trump that there’s potentially some sort of a correlation here,” Bricker said. “It’s a dilemm...
