BRASILIA, Brazil -- South America's leaders will gather in Brazil's capital on Tuesday as part of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's attempt to reinvigorate regional integration efforts that have previously floundered amid the continent's political swings and polarization. Analysts say Lula senses an opportunity for integration because of the political affinities of the region’s current governments and appears to want to test leaders' willingness to cooperate through a revived Union of South American Nations, or Unasur. Lula said at a news conference Monday that the leaders should discuss cooperation in energy and crime-fighting, and suggested he might consider floating the idea of a regional currency to challen

Leicester 2-1 West Ham: Player ratings as Foxes go down despite win

Image
Leicester's 2-1 win over West Ham on the final day of the Premier League season proved inconsequential as they were relegated to the Championship. The Foxes took the lead through Harvey Barnes just after the hour-mark, which temporarily lifted them out of the relegation zone at the expense of Everton. But by the time Wout Faes headed home Youri Tielemans' free kick after 61 minutes, the Toffees had jumped above Leicester in the table thanks to Abdoulaye Doucoure's goal. That proved to be the winner at Goodison Park, condemning Leicester to the second tier just seven seasons after they stunned the world to win the Premier League title. It was a tense, nervy beginning as Leicester looked to feel out a West Ham side who will contest the Europa Conference League final on June 7 against Fiorentina. The first half chance of the game fell Kelechi Iheanacho's way, but he scuffed his effort wide of Fabianski's post from 20 yards out. FAES HEADS HOME FOR LEICESTER! 💥 As it

Weeks before EU and Latin American joint summit, trade deal remains elusive

The European Union and the Mercosur group of Latin American nations are still struggling to bridge the last difference before they can reach final agreement on a long-delayed trade deal BRUSSELS -- Only weeks before a joint summit between the European Union and Latin American nations was supposed to seal an oft-delayed trade deal, the writing on the wall of EU headquarters Thursday made it clear why it still might not happen. “STOP EU-MERCOSUR,” the environmental group Greenpeace had put in giant letters on the building where the 27 EU trade ministers were meeting. They were assessing the last differences ahead of clinching what would amount to a massive cooperation deal for both the EU and the group of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. And if objections from environmentalists were hung outside the building, it was obvious that among ministers, despite almost a quarter-century of talks and a four-year “agreement in principle,” a final sign-off was still complicated.

The first story takes us to the depths of the forest, where a small and seemingly harmless rodent encountered a crafty and agile snake.

Texas sues Biden administration over asylum rule, saying phone app encourages illegal immigration

The state of Texas is suing the Biden administration to have a newly introduced asylum rule thrown out The state of Texas is suing the Biden administration in an attempt to have a newly-introduced asylum rule thrown out, saying a phone app used by migrants to set up appointments at the border to seek entry into the United States is encouraging illegal immigration. The lawsuit filed Tuesday is the latest legal salvo attacking various aspects of the administration's plan to manage migration in the aftermath of the end of a key pandemic-era immigration regulation called Title 42. In the lawsuit, Texas argues that the asylum rule encourages the use of a cellphone app — called CBP One — for migrants who don't have proper documentation to make an appointments to come to a port of entry and seek entry into the United States. Texas argues the Biden administration is essentially encouraging people to come to the U.S. even though they don't have legal basis to stay. “The Biden Admini

Aston Martin address F1 win talk ahead as Alonso target looms

Image
Aston Martin Technical Director Dan Fallows has cooled talk of a Formula 1 win in 2023, saying the team are "realistic" about claiming victory on merit. The Silverstone based squad have emerged as Red Bull's closest challengers this season, with Fernando Alonso taking four third place finishes from the opening five rounds, which have all been won by either Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez. Although the AMR23 is a big step forward for the team in allowing them to break into the so-called 'big three', the design is draggy meaning Alonso and Lance Stroll are at a disadvantage on conventional race tracks. However, Alonso has targeted the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix as a race he could challenge for victory at given that track's unique characteristics. And Aston Technical Director Dan Fallows says the team must be honest about their chances of defeating the RB19 on pure pace. Viewed by others:
