Jürgen Klopp’s Germany beat Serbia 2-0
Portugal maintained their perfect start to Nations League Group A4 as Jorge Jesus’s squad showed little signs of missing Cristiano Ronaldo with a 4-2 victory over Denmark in Copenhagen.
The 41-year-old Al-Nassr forward and five-time Ballon d’Or winner left the camp ahead of the match amid reports of a falling out with Jesus, his former club boss, having been left on the bench throughout a victory in Norway.

Despite a significant security presence, the contest was twice interrupted in the opening 45 minutes, first due to what campaign group Stop the Game later referred to in a statement as a “limited tennis ball protest”, when – around the 20th minute – tennis balls wrapped in stickers featuring the Palestinian flag and the text “#StopTheGame” were launched on the pitch.

Airlines will be blocked from charging parents extra to sit with their children on planes, according to government plans.
The new rule would require airlines to seat passengers aged under 14 next to their parents or an accompanying adult free of charge. Passengers will also no longer need to pay to tweak the name on their flight booking if they need to correct a mistake.

Farmers’ market shoppers might not usually pay much attention to the local resident devouring fresh bread and pastries at one of the stalls with extra gusto – but some certainly did last weekend when they realized it was a hungry bear.
Onlookers on Saturday reached for their phones to take photos and videos of the bear in downtown Aspen, Colorado, after it wandered through the stalls and got up on to its hind legs to dig into the baked goods.

The result – which was a fair reflection of an even but entertaining game – left both sides with two points from their opening two fixtures, but City will know their league phase opponents should theoretically become less challenging from hereon, after their opening draw at Bayern Munich.

VENLO (ANP) - De oorzaak van de brand begin augustus in het Limburgse natuurgebied Boschhuizerbergen blijft onduidelijk. Dat is de conclusie in een rapport van de brandweer Limburg-Noord en het Landelijk team Natuurbrandonderzoek dat donderdag werd gepresenteerd.
De brandweer zegt wel met zekerheid te kunnen stellen dat de brand niet is veroorzaakt door werkzaamheden, onontplofte oorlogsresten of achtergelaten afval, is te lezen in het rapport. Ook vonkvorming van het spoor, dat dwars door het natuurgebied loopt, wordt als oorzaak uitgesloten. En het schrikdraad, waarmee delen van het gebied voor wild zijn afgezet, bevond zich ook niet in de buurt van de plek waar de brand begon.
Bij de brand in het natuurgebied bij Venray ging ongeveer 100 hectare natuur verloren, waaronder bijna 4000 aaneengesloten struiken met jeneverbessen. Volgens de brandweer is de brand vermoedelijk midden in het bos ontstaan en kon het vuur zich snel verspreiden door een combinatie van onder meer droogte en de grote hoeveelheid brandbaar materiaal.
The best multi day hikes in the world. “As an avid hiker, who spends most of her time hiking, I have done more than 100 multi day hikes all over the world. This list includes 25 of my favorite ones.”
