The shortlist for this year’s Champions Cup player of the year award is an eyecatching one. There are five contenders and four of them – Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Finn Russell, Matthieu Jalibert and Caelan Doris – are established world-class operators. So who is the fifth Beatle? An uncapped Englishman who eats only toast on matchdays and is arguably most famous for parading around in his budgie smugglers.
Step forward Alfie Barbeary, the shaggy-haired Bath colossus looking to smash a few holes in Bordeaux Bègles’ title defence at the Stade Atlantique on Sunday. The 25-year-old Barbeary might not yet be a connoisseur of the region’s celebrated wines – “I know there’s red and white but that’s about it” – but he makes up for that in other respects. Some people are born entertainers and the big No 8 is definitely one of them.

“Thanks to the Isak injury, yet again Slot is forced to fight fires rather than just manage,” laments Ian Copestake. “Unless it is in January, I hope one day he will be able to say, ‘same team as last year.’”
Now that would be a turn up for the Trent.

Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw more US troops from Germany after stunning European leaders and some senior members of his own party by last week announcing the withdrawal of 5,000 soldiers from Germany.
The move left 30,000 US troops still in the country, according to CNN. But Trump threatened on Saturday that more cuts were coming. “We are going to cut way down, and we’re cutting a lot further than 5,000,” he told reporters on Saturday.

Relschoppers vernielden afgelopen nacht delen van het stadhuis en het naastgelegen theater. De politie stelt dat een groep mensen in donkere kleding, hoodies en gezichtsbedekking zich rond 00.50 uur bij het gemeentehuis verzamelde en daar een aantal camera's onklaar maakte. Daarop ging de politie naar het stadhuis om poolshoogte te nemen en de camera's weer werkend te krijgen.
Toen de agenten aankwamen, staken de relschoppers "hoogstwaarschijnlijk illegaal en levensgevaarlijk" vuurwerk af, waarvan een deel richting de politie. De agenten trokken zich daarop terug om versterking af te wachten. Toen die arriveerde, trok de politie naar het stadhuis "waar de openbare orde werd hersteld". Bij het stadhuis en het theater bleken ruiten te zijn ingegooid, en er was vuurwerk naar binnen gegooid en graffiti aangebracht.
WENEN (ANP) - Het Internationaal Atoomenergieagentschap (IAEA) heeft toegang gevraagd tot een laboratorium bij de kerncentrale Zaporizja in Oekraïne. Die staat onder controle van Rusland en werd zondag aangevallen met een drone.
Bij de aanval werden geen gewonden gerapporteerd en het is niet duidelijk of het lab beschadigd is geraakt, aldus het IAEA op X. Het laboratorium ligt buiten de kerncentrale zelf. Het agentschap herhaalt dat aanvallen in de buurt van kerncentrales nucleaire veiligheidsrisico's met zich kunnen meebrengen.
Rusland zei eerder dat de kerncentrale werd aangevallen door Oekraïense drones en dat die functioneert zoals gewoonlijk, meldde persbureau Reuters.
De aandeelhoudersvergadering van Berkshire Hathaway staat bekend als het ‘Woodstock voor kapitalisten’ en trekt duizenden fans. Dit jaar had de 95-jarige Buffett voor het eerst een kleinere rol, maar zijn opvolger Greg Abel stelde bezoekers teleur. „Hij is duidelijk minder charismatisch.”

An anonymous reader shared this report from the BBC:
"If even one extra person is able to access the internet, I think it's successful and it's worth it," says Sahand. The Iranian man is visibly anxious, speaking to the BBC outside Iran, as he carefully explains how he is part of a clandestine network smuggling satellite internet technology — which is illegal in Iran — into the country. Sahand, whose name we have changed, fears for family members and other contacts inside the country. "If I was identified by the Iranian regime, they might make those I'm in touch with in Iran pay the price," he says.
For more than two months, Iran has been in digital darkness as the government maintains one of the longest-running national internet shutdowns ever recorded worldwide... Sahand says he has sent a dozen [Starlink terminals] to Iran since January and "we are actively looking for other ways to smuggle in more". The human rights organisation Witness estimated in January that there are at least 50,000 Starlink terminals in Iran. Activists say the number is likely to have risen...
Last year, the Iranian government passed legislation that made using, buying or selling Starlink devices punishable by up to two years in prison. The jail term for distributing or importing more than 10 devices can be up to 10 years. State-affiliated media has reported multiple cases of people being arrested for selling and buying Starlink terminals, including four people — two of them foreign nationals — arrested last month for "importing satellite internet equipment".
"The BBC contacted SpaceX for more details about the use of Starlink in the country but did not receive a response."

The congregation of Flinders Street Baptist Church was formed in 1861. The Gothic- style chapel was constructed of blue stone with sandstone-capped buttresses and was completed in 1863, with the gallery added in 1872 and the pipe organ installed in 1886.
