Pope Leo has reiterated his disapproval of Donald Trump’s immigration policies, saying foreigners in the US are being treated in an “extremely disrespectful way”. Leo, who was elected in May after the death of Pope Francis, has in recent weeks adopted an increasingly strong tone in his criticism of Trump’s immigration policies. In September, he called the US’s treatment of immigrants “inhuman” and in October he questioned whether Trump’s policies were in line with the Catholic church’s teachings. On that occasion, he was also speaking from Castel Gandolfo, to which he usually retreats on Monday afternoons and Tuesdays. The Chicago-born pontiff revived papal holidays in Castel Gandolfo this summer after the tradition was interrupted by Pope Francis, who preferred to spend his time off at a Vatican guesthouse.

“England qualified for the World Cup in perfect style, winning all eight games without conceding a goal,” writes Charlie Wilson. “How many teams have done this?”This isn’t the first time England have qualified for a World Cup without conceding a goal. We think England are the first men’s team from Europe to achieve this particular definition of World Cup perfection. Possibly the most spectacular performance came from Germany Women before the 1995 World Cup, a campaign that doubled up as qualification for Euro 95. Oddly, three of the four men’s teams went on to lose their first game at the World Cup proper.

“But what I really, really appreciate from the team, the roster, and all the staff is the way we start to connect together. By posting a series of confidence and momentum-building results, punctuated by a head-turning one, the co-hosts will enter a World Cup year in a much better place than they might have imagined at the close of 2024. That was, I think, when the reality touched.”Yet dispiriting friendly losses to Turkey and Switzerland in early June made things look desperately bleak for the World Cup. “I felt like we had a group of guys [at the Gold Cup] that really connected on a deeper level,” Berhalter told TNT on Tuesday. Guys have each other’s backs.”Around this time, the USMNT finally and fully became Pochettino’s team.

The surrealism continued with the post-match celebrations: even Steve Clarke was seen to crack a grin and bust some moves. A dour Scotsman in whose direction other dour Scotsmen unsmilingly tip their tam-o’-shanters, the gaffer has scarcely demonstrated such outright ebullience. “I know the age I’m at this is my last chance of a World Cup and I couldn’t get my mate Diogo Jota out of my head today. We spoke so much together about this World Cup.” Wherever he might be, Robbo’s much-missed friend and former teammate almost certainly won’t be alone in hoping the Scotland skipper does the tournament they both dreamed of proud. As a keen footballer, I joined the local amateur team AS Montbeliard to keep fit, train and play for the season.

But when the whistle blew, no protocol could change the fact that the climate itself has changed. I walked away with the realisation that the game I love, the game that’s given me everything, is already being shaped by the changing climate. This isn’t something that’s happening in the future. If we don’t adapt, the world’s most accessible sport becomes a privilege, not a right. Investing in adaptation isn’t a distraction from tackling the causes of climate change – it’s how we protect people while we do it.

Sarina Wiegman has defended promoting Hannah Hampton to be England’s first-choice goalkeeper ahead of Mary Earps, saying she makes “decisions to win”, after Earps criticised the head coach’s move in her autobiography. “We had a very good goalkeeper unit and the two goalkeepers were competing for the No 1 spot,” Wiegman said.

But the Super Eagles will not be returning to North American soil for next summer’s tournament – and they are not blaming their shooting boots. After a fraught and dramatic continental playoff final on Sunday, where Nigeria were eliminated by DR Congo on penalties, the Super Eagles manager, Éric Chelle, said that his team had been defeated by “voodoo”. He then accused DR Congo of “doing maraboutage” – a term used colloquially to describe acts of magic or bewitchment. Photograph: Jalal Morchidi/EPAThe loss ends a disjointed two-year qualifying campaign for the Super Eagles, which left them to sneak into the continental playoffs on goal difference. DR Congo grew in confidence, dominating possession and pressing hard, with Fiston Mayele having two efforts disallowed for fouls in a frantic period of extra time.

Nestlé is still adding sugar to most baby cereals sold across Africa, according to an investigation by campaigners who have accused the company of “putting the health of African babies at risk for profit”. Nestlé described the investigation, from Public Eye, a Swiss group that calls itself a global justice organisation, as “misleading”. The laboratory found added sugar in more than 90% of baby cereals, with an average of 6g, or one-and-a-half teaspoons, per serving. Most products without added sugar were imported, they said, and had originally been intended for sale in Europe, apart from two variants recently launched in South Africa. We do not have double standards when it comes to early childhood nutrition.”In the past year, Nestlé has introduced 14 Cerelac variants with no added sugar in India, and Diby said it was accelerating the rollout of no added sugar varieties in African countries.

The housebuilder Crest Nicholson has warned of job cuts and worse than expected profits after a summer of “subdued” sales amid uncertainty around the possible property taxes in the budget. Anthony Codling, a housing analyst at RBC Capital Markets, said budget uncertainty had “wiped out the autumn selling season, a critical period for Crest with an October year-end”.

Hungary’s prime minister has kicked off a weeks-long “anti-war roadshow”, turning criticism of European support for Ukraine into an early campaign message before next year’s elections. Orbán has positioned himself as the voice of reason against what he says is a failed EU-led campaign to arm Ukraine. Last month, Orbán led a “peace march” in which he told thousands in the crowd that Hungary was “the only country in Europe standing up for peace”. after newsletter promotionShe fled to Hungary at the start of the invasion, and learned the language, but said she received anti-Ukrainian comments. Orbán still holds an advantage on foreign policy, especially on peace and migration.

American Mikaela Shiffrin laid down a marker for the Olympic season ahead by obliterating her rivals to easily win the opening Alpine Ski World Cup slalom race on Saturday. Albanian Lara Colturi was second on her 19th birthday while fellow youngster Emma Aicher of Germany was third for the first World Cup slalom podium of her career.

Italian-born Albanian Colturi looks one of those capable of challenging Shiffrin after two impressive runs, even if she will have to wait a while longer for her first World Cup win. Ljutic had to settle for sixth place while slalom world champion Rast was a disappointing 15th.

But historians of anti-fascism warned that at a time when far-right groups were making electoral gains across the continent, the move set a dangerous precedent that could prepare the ground for a broader crackdown on leftwing activism. “The others are revolutionary groups,” he said. “This shows how the Trump administration is trying to lump all revolutionary and radical groups together under the label ‘antifa’. By establishing the (alleged) existence of foreign antifa groups, the Trump administration seems to be setting the stage for declaring American antifa groups (and all that they deem to be ‘antifa’) to be affiliated with these supposed foreign terrorist groups.”View image in fullscreen Supporters of AfD take part in a campaign rally in Berlin in February.

Donald Trump agreed to cut US tariffs on Switzerland from 39% to 15% as part of a new trade pact, lowering duties that strained economic ties and hit Swiss exporters. Leading Swiss executives met Trump at the White House earlier this month. Trump was gifted a golden table clock by Rolex, which was later spotted on his desk in the Oval Office. The Trump administration agreed to limit US tariffs on Switzerland and Liechtenstein “to a maximum of 15%” under the deal, according to a statement from the Swiss government. This brings US tariffs on Switzerland in line with those on the European Union – allowing Swiss exporters the same treatment as rivals in neighboring countries.

From one angle, that is just what the Sweden job resembles for Potter. They are bottom of their group with a single point but four games from a return to the World Cup finals. Sweden need three points, and a favour from Slovenia against Kosovo, to keep alive the race for second and a potentially crucial place among the playoff seeds. View image in fullscreen Sweden head coach Graham Potter has a number of fantastic talents such as Alexander Isak (left) at his disposal. Perhaps going back to what they know, 4-4-2 or otherwise, will help Potter and the nation he has grown to love.
