MADRID (AP) — A EuroLeague basketball game between Real Madrid and Partizan Belgrade on Thursday was called off with less than two minutes left after a brawl left the teams without enough players to keep playing.Madrid was losing 95-80 at home — and about to go down 2-0 in their playoff series — when a hard foul by Madrid guard Sergio Llull on American forward Kevin Punter upset Partizan Belgrade players and led to the benches being cleared.Punches were thrown and a couple of players, one from each team, were tossed to the ground by opponents during the melee in the Spanish capital.Officials spent several minutes watching replays before deciding to call the game off with 1 minute, 40 seconds because “neither team had the requisite minimum of two players each required to finish the game” after all disqualifications were applied, the league said. The game was considered officially over with Partizan Belgrade as the winner. “Euroleague Basketball strongly condemns the events that happe...

UK’s migration policy is designed to be cruel

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:45:42 GMT

Gideon Maltz is CEO of the Tent Partnership for Refugees, a coalition of over 300 companies committed to hiring, training and mentoring refugees. He previously served in the U.S. government under both Joe Biden and Barack Obama.As the television news broadcasts images of bedraggled asylum seekers having just stepped foot in the country, political leaders express outrage at the cost of providing them with housing and other services, and two-thirds of the public calls the situation a “crisis,” claiming that it’s “too many people” for the country to absorb.Sound familiar?If so, it may be surprising to know that this describes Canada — quite possibly the most pro-immigration country in the world — and its handling of “Roxham Road,” a border crossing in Quebec that saw 40,000 asylum seekers enter from the United States last year.So, with its new Illegal Migration Bill, which aims to curb cross-Channel migration, Britain’s government isn’t unique in seeking ways to reduce irregular migrat...

Meet Berlusconi’s Angel of Death and Orbán’s whip

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:45:42 GMT

Welcome to Declassified, a weekly humor column.It’s been a rough few weeks for former Italian Prime Minister and Bunga Bunga-enthusiast Silvio Berlusconi. After being treated for chronic leukemia, the aging lothario was moved out of intensive care earlier this month. That means he can receive visitors, and he has — which at least gives the poor nurses a break from all that groping.Among the visitors was the mother of Marta Fascina, the 86-year-old Berlusconi’s 32-year-old girlfriend. Nothing unusual there (by which I mean receiving visitors in hospital is not unusual, whereas a 54-year age gap is) except that Fascina’s mom is called Angela Della Morte, which translates as “Angel of Death” — not an ideal name for a visitor when you’re just out of intensive care.Staying in Italy, it’s been a bad week for the country’s tourism ministry, which put out a video featuring a computerized version of Botticelli’s Venus as if she was a — sh...

The price of peace: Westminster mulls another £1 billion bung for Northern Ireland

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:45:42 GMT

DUBLIN — What’s the price of peace? For Northern Ireland’s warring politicians, the answer is often surprisingly simple — a cool £1,000,000,000. A half-dozen senior insiders in the British government and Northern Ireland civil service have told POLITICO that Westminster is mulling a £1 billion offer to boost the region’s public services if its main political parties restore a power-sharing government before the end of the year.The deal would mark the third time in seven years Westminster has ponied up £1 billion to get the fractious Northern Irish parties back on side — but is still seen as a price worth paying to break the yearlong political deadlock.“When you look at previous points in our history where there have been crises, there has always been money to sweeten the deal,” said David Sterling, the former head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service, who retired in 2020. “I’m sure that the parties are pressing hard for something like that at the momen...
