Ceuta: le président de l'enclave espagnole appelle à «confiner» les m…

Dix jours après l'arrivée massive de migrants dans l'enclave espagnole de Ceuta, son président Juan Jesús Vivas a appelé lundi 10 août à « confiner » les migrants encore présents sur le territoire. Si la majorité d'entre eux sont repartis très rapidement, selon Madrid, le sort des migrants encore sur place fait l'objet de vives discussions politiques entre le gouvernement central, de gauche, et le président de Ceuta, membre du principal parti de droite, le Parti populaire.

John Kirwan says the officiating was “poor” in the All Blacks’ tour opener against the Stormers and prays that won’t be the case in the Test series.

New Zealand had three players yellow-carded during their 38-21 victory at Cape Town Stadium – centre Anton Lienert-Brown, flank Simon Parker and fullback Josh Moorby – and Kirwan was unimpressed with referee Karl Dickson’s handling of the match. hilogame.news

“One of the disappointing things for me was the refereeing; for me it was just pedantic,” the former All Blacks wing said on the Rugby Rivals podcast.

“I thought the yellow cards were marginal at best. To play any game with 13 is going to be tough, so I thought the refereeing was poor, and the All Blacks, rightly so, said we need to fix our discipline – and that’s true.

“You cannot go through a game without that discipline; the discipline in the mid parts of that game will need improving, but I just pray that we don’t get referees that pedantic.”

The discussion then turned to the increasing involvement of the TMO and whether players would simply have to adapt to the way matches are being officiated.

Former Bok lock Victor Matfield agreed that the TMO’s role was unlikely to change, but believes decisions need to be reached more quickly.

“I hate it. But unfortunately, that’s how it’s going to be. That’s how World Rugby wants the game to be run,” Matfield said.

“We do want the right decisions – so TMOs will get involved.

“For me, it’s about how quickly they make those decisions, or even if they see something, have a look while the game is going, then go back and say this is what happened, but let’s get speed into the game. Unfortunately, we’re not going to change it.”

Matfield said players would have to adjust to the way incidents are being officiated.

“If a guy goes for the intercept, it goes to the ground; that’s a yellow card. If he slips up and makes head contact, it’s going to be a yellow card.

“Those are things that we don’t want to see, but unfortunately, the way it’s refereed, that’s what’s going to happen.”

Real Madrid extend Vinicius Junior to 2032 and sign Yan Diomandé for a reported EUR 140m

• Vinicius Junior has signed a new six-year contract with Real Madrid, keeping him at the club until 30 June 2032.

• Real Madrid have signed 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomandé from RB Leipzig for a reported EUR 140 million (USD 161 million) including bonuses.

• Diomandé is José Mourinho’s sixth summer signing as Real Madrid rebuild after a two-year trophy drought.

Real Madrid have announced a significant double piece of transfer business on Thursday, 6 August 2026: a new six-year contract extension for star forward Vinicius Junior and the signing of teenage sensation Yan Diomandé from RB Leipzig. Both deals represent a major statement of intent from manager José Mourinho as he sets about ending the club’s two-year major trophy drought.

Vinicius Junior: six-year extension to 2032

The extension ends months of speculation linking Vinicius to Arsenal, whose interest had grown as the Brazilian’s previous deal entered its final year. Real Madrid moved quickly to secure their prized asset.

“Real Madrid FC and Vinicius Jr have agreed the extension of the contract of our player, who is tied to the club until June 30, 2032.”

— Real Madrid official statement, 6 August 2026

The 26-year-old has been at Real Madrid for eight years, having arrived aged 18, and has become one of the most important players in the club’s history. In that time he has scored 128 goals in 375 appearances and lifted multiple trophies, including two Champions League titles and three La Liga crowns. Despite the club’s recent lean period — Barcelona secured back-to-back La Liga titles — Vinicius’ commitment to the project reflects his belief in Mourinho’s vision for the season ahead.

Yan Diomandé: the EUR 140m teenage sensation

Real Madrid also confirmed the signing of Yan Diomandé, a 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger who arrives from RB Leipzig for a reported club-record fee of EUR 140 million (USD 161 million) including bonuses, on a seven-year deal to June 2033. Madrid beat Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool to his signature — PSG withdrew over the size of the fee, while Liverpool reportedly had a bid rejected in June.

“Moving to Real Madrid is a childhood dream come true for me.”

— Yan Diomandé, quoted in an RB Leipzig statement

Diomandé spent a single season in the Bundesliga after joining Leipzig from Spanish side Leganés in 2025, immediately catching the eye with 12 goals and 8 assists in the German top flight. He was named Bundesliga Young Player of the Season and starred for Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup.

Real Madrid’s full summer 2026 window

Diomandé is Mourinho’s sixth signing of the summer, completing a significant rebuild of the squad.

With Mbappé, Bellingham, Rodrégo and now Diomandé joining Vinicius in the attack, Mourinho has assembled one of the most formidable forward lines in European football ahead of a season in which Real carry significant motivation — the Champions League final will be held at Madrid’s own Estadio Metropolitano on 5 June 2027.

Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana striker Evidence Makgopa has been ruled out for the next two months with a knee injury. The towering forward played through a niggle during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the subsequent pre-season period.

ORLANDO PIRATES STRIKER EVIDENCE MAKGOPA OUT UNTIL OCOTOBER

According to iDiski Times journalist Lorenz Kohler, the Orlando Pirates medical team has advised Makgopa to take an extended period of rest.

“With a niggle that was played through during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and pre-season, it’s been advised by the club’s medical team that he needs an extended period of rest to recover,” Kohler reported.

The injury does not require surgery. Makgopa will instead focus on recovery before returning to club and international football. The setback comes at an unfortunate time for Evidence Makgopa.

DECORATED CAREER AT 26

The 26-year-old enjoyed an important 2025/26 campaign with Orlando Pirates, scoring six goals and providing four assists in the league.

He also helped the Buccaneers secure a domestic treble that included the Betway Premiership, MTN8 and Carling Knockout.

Makgopa has also become an important option for Bafana Bafana under Hugo Broos. He made his senior international debut in June 2021 and announced himself with a brace against Uganda in a 3-2 victory.

His international rise continued through major tournaments. Makgopa featured at the Tokyo Olympics, played in successive AFCON campaigns and featured in all four of South Africa’s matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Kohler says the striker is now “looking to recover swiftly to return to the club and national team selection.” However, the timing creates a major concern for Bafana Bafana.

“It’s highly unlikely that he would feature in the upcoming 2026 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers for South Africa,” Kohler added. That would leave Hugo Broos without one of his trusted attacking options for the upcoming qualifiers.

For Orlando Pirates, the priority will be getting Evidence Makgopa fully fit before rushing him back into action.
