An early goal by defender Fabian Schaer earned Switzerland a 1-0 victory over debutants Albania whose captain was sent off before halftime in the Euro 2016 Group A match on Saturday.Switzerland, bidding to reach the knockout stages for the first time, scored in the fifth minute and were given a further boost by a second yellow card for Albania skipper Lorik Cana.SCHAER HEADER BEATS THE KEEPERThe Swiss took the lead when goalkeeper Etrit Berisha rushed out to clear a corner, but could only lunge at centre back Schaer who rose unchallenged to head in.Cana’s dismissal for a second yellow card after a handball in the 36th minute seemed to have more or less sealed it for the Swiss, whose keeper Yann Sommer had brilliantly prodded out a shot from striker Armando Sadiku five minutes earlier.After Cana’s exit, Switzerland besieged the Albania goal, also hitting the post, and could have been two or three up at the break.The Swiss had several chances in the second half kept out by Berisha, notably in the 66th minute when striker Haris Seferovic was put through with only the keeper to beat.With 15 minutes to go, Albania’s Italian coach Giovanni De Biasi threw on Sokol Cikalleshi as a second striker and within a minute Sadiku hit the side netting from a narrow angle.ALBANIA FAIL TO EQUALISEAlbania’s golden chance to equalise came three minutes from time when substitute Shkelzen Gashi sprang the Swiss defence and had time and space to think, only for Sommer to expertly parry his over the bar.advertisementIt was only the second Euro finals victory for Switzerland and the first one with any meaning as they joined hosts France at the top of Group A.Swiss Granit and Albania’s Taulant Xhaka became the first brothers to play against each other in a European Championship. The game also featured a host of other players with Albanian roots who could have opted to play for either side.Albanian fans were initially the most vocal inside the stadium in Lens, periodically booing midfielders Xherdan Shaqiri, Valon Behrami and others they felt should have been playing for them.Albania, who have now failed to beat Switzerland in seven attempts, will travel to Marseille on Wednesday to face hosts France. Switzerland face Romania the same day.

You won’t be able to buy a petrol or diesel car in Ireland after 2030 NCT certs will not be issued for non-zero emissions cars. Norway has set an ambitious target of ending the sale of new cars with combustion engines as early as 2025.Norway, a large oil and gas producer, has introduced numerous incentives to encourage the purchase of electric cars. Buyers pay almost no tax, making the sale price very competitive. This has led to zero-emission cars making up 20% of new car sales.There is no mention in the Irish plan of a rebate or tax scheme to incentivise early purchasers, but car buyers can get a grant of up to €5,000 on an electric car currently.With AFP reportingRead: Project Ireland 2040: The key points you need to know Image: Shutterstock/jorik Feb 16th 2018, 5:41 PM THE HUMBLE PETROL and diesel car will have seen its last days in Ireland if the Project Ireland 2040 plan comes true.The plan, announced today, commits a total of €22 billion to climate action, with the bulk of that – €13.7 billion – being spent on energy investment.A further €3 billion will go towards retrofitting homes to make them energy efficient, but €200 million has also been set aside for the provision of infrastructure for electric vehicles.This would include new charging points.The plan says that by 2030 the government aims to have the number of electric vehicles on the roads at half a million – around a quarter of all cars on our roads.However, the plan goes one step beyond that and proposes that no non-zero emission vehicles will be sold in Ireland after 2030.After that, no NCT certs will be issued for non-zero emission vehicles after 2045. 52% of Ireland’s overall transport emissions come from private cars.A number of car manufacturers have already begun moving to no- or low-emission vehicles. Volkswagen says it will invest €34 billion in new technologies by 2022. Like other traditional carmakers, Volkswagen is stepping up its focus on the cleaner, smarter vehicles of the future, racing to catch up with US tech giant Tesla which has a head-start in the area.The plan is similar to one announced in January by California Governor Jerry Brown. The US state aims to “dramatically reduce carbon emissions from transportation”.France has said it will end sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040 and Volvo Cars plans to start phasing out production of conventional petrol-only cars from 2019, with all new models to be electric or hybrid from that date.

Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer believes they had the chances to end the game before the last explosive end to their 3-3 Champions League draw with AjaxA Robert Lewandowski goal handed Bayern the lead in the first-half, which they held on to until 61st-minute when Dusan Tadic equalised for Ajax.The Serbian forward then added another through a penalty before his Ajax team-mate Maximilian Wober and Bayern’s Thomas Muller were sent off.Then, in the space of eight minutes, three goals came in with two coming from Bayern to hand them a temporary lead before Nicolas Tagliafico’s last-gasp equaliser for Ajax.While the draw was enough to confirm Bayern as Group E winners, Neuer was left to rue the bitter end after conceding so late in the game.
Match Preview: RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Boro Tanchev – September 14, 2019 RB Leipzig will have the chance to prove their title-winning capabilities when they host Bayern Munich today at 18:30 (CET).“Taken altogether it was a hard-fought and passionate match,” Neuer told the club website.“Ajax are a good team, we saw that in the first match. We had our chances, especially in the first half, we should have scored a few more goals.“It was very explosive towards the end. It was quite bitter to concede the last goal. The main thing is we’ve finished first, everything else is secondary at the moment.”Bayern will next face Hannover 96 away on Saturday in the Bundesliga.
“You have to be a masochist,” says Lacy of starting a media business in today’s market. Despite the early and fast-growing success of PandoDaily, Lacy contends it’s telling how dominant old-media brands still are 15 years after “old media” was first proclaimed dead. Lacy says it has to do a lot with brand trust and intention—something she claims the new media companies have in spades.“Whether it’s us, Vox or BuzzFeed—they have the right intentions, smarter business models and more capital behind them,” says Lacy. “With the last generation of media companies, it was a lot of people who wanted to be entrepreneurs rather than journalists.”Nevertheless, Lacy claims while founder/CEOs like her are the best bets at running new media companies well, it doesn’t behoove all great journalists to break off from established media brands.“Not everyone has to start their own company—you can Voltron up,” says Lacy. “If every great journalist peels off and starts their own company, they’re ultimately not writing very much. Five or six really amazing journalists can band together and be worth so much more.” New York—PandoDaily founder and CEO Sarah Lacy took to the stage for an afternoon keynote at FOLIO:’s MediaMashup event Thursday to explain why entrepreneurial journalism isn’t new, why it would be terrible if all the best journalists started their own media companies and why she could still taste blood in her mouth two years after starting her company.“If you’re going to start a company, the number-one thing to know—as hard as journalism itself is, as hard as breaking a big story is, as hard as dealing with editors is—actually building a company around journalism is about a million times harder,” Lacy told the audience.PandoDaily, founded in January of 2012, offers readers news and analysis of the technology market, as well as commentary on Silicon Valley happenings and the latest startup companies. Her reference to tasting blood comes from a quote by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who described starting a business as “staring into the edge of the abyss while chewing glass.”
Robb Report will soon be run by a joint-venture between Penske Media Corporation and its existing owner, Rockbridge Growth Equity. PMC’s investment is scheduled to close this week. Rockbridge Growth Equity and PMC will have equal representation on the board of directors, according to a spokesperson. PMC — which owns serveral verticals including Variety and WWD — will also be involved in day-to-day operations at Robb Report. Former Dennis Publishing and Newsweek Daily Beast exec Stephen Colvin succeeded Curtis as CEO in late 2015 before departing after less than a year on the job. It was announced today that Colvin is joining Bloomberg as head of Bloomberg Live. The companies will also merge some offices, with Robb Report’s New York operations moving to PMC headquarters at 475 Fifth Avenue, and its Malibu offices moving to the PMC Tower located at 11175 Santa Monica Boulevard. Robb Report will retain its current management team, though no replacement for Colvin has been named since he clandestinely left the publication in fall. “[This] allows us to focus our combined energies on expanding Robb Report’s digital capabilities as well as continuing to improve its print distribution channels and event activation to deliver optimal consumer and advertiser experiences,” Brian Hermelin, managing partner of Rockbridge Growth Equity, said in the announcement.
In an announcement late last week, the companies described the move as an investment in the future of digital at the 40-year-old luxury magazine. Robb Report also has offices in Florida and Detroit, the latter of which opened when the magazine was acquired by Rockbridge in 2014. Rockbridge bought the magazine from William Curtis, who took ownership in 2002. Curtis remained a co-owner and vice chairman after that acquisition, though it is unclear what role he will play now. A spokesperson declined to comment on whether Curtis still owns a stake in the company. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in A Star is BornLady Gaga (@ladygaga/Instagram)Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s name has been linked ever since they both starred in A Star Is Born. There are several who claimed that the movie and his on-screen chemistry with Gaga has cost Bradley his relationship with Irina Shayk. As per a shocking alleged claim, Lady Gaga is reportedly expecting her first child with Bradley Cooper. Fans are now wondering if this is the truth or this is yet another fabricated news about their personal lives.The latest report:As per an alleged report by InTouch Weekly via NewIdea, an alleged insider has reportedly stated that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are expecting their first child together. The alleged insider went on to contend that “Gaga is glowing and hiding a baby bump.” The source continued that everyone close to them is happy and are waiting when she is going to announce the great news.So, are they going to get married? Well, the alleged insider added that both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper have parted ways with their respective partners but “tying the knot is not exactly at the top of the list of their priorities right now but a baby could solidify their relationship.”The fact:Ever since Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga starred in A Star Is Born, many claimed that there is something going on between them. After their intimate performance at the 91st Oscars, several even concluded that the “Shallow” singers are reportedly dating each other. That time, Gaga was engaged with Christian Carino and Bradley was in a long-term relationship with Irina Shayk.Things became worse when right after the Oscars, Lady Gaga and Christian Carino ended their engagement, and Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk also reportedly parted ways.But are Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga dating each other and expecting a child together? Well, it should be noted that these two have maintained that there is nothing going on between them. The intimate performance at the Academy Awards night was a part of an act and these two are simply co-stars who later became friends. To put a label to this friendship is clearly wrong. Furthermore, if you are following Lady Gaga on her Instagram, you would see that she has recently uploaded a picture from her Park Theater Las Vegas show. In the picture, she is seen singing/dancing alongside her team — there is no baby bump in the picture. So, it looks like the claims about Lady Gaga’s pregnancy is nothing but fabricated news.
Doha : A general view taken on July 2, 2017 shows the corniche of the Qatari capital Doha. AFPQatar on Monday responded to a list of demands from Saudi Arabia and its allies after they agreed to give a defiant Doha another 48 hours to address their grievances.Details of the response were not immediately available, but a Gulf official told AFP that Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani had delivered it during a short visit to Kuwait, which is acting as a mediator in the crisis.Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt had announced in the early hours of Monday they were pushing back a deadline for Qatar to agree to a list of 13 demands they issued on June 22.A joint statement said they were extending the ultimatum, which had been due to expire at the end of the day on Sunday, at the request of Kuwait’s emir.The demands included Doha ending support for the Muslim Brotherhood, closing broadcaster Al-Jazeera, downgrading diplomatic ties with Iran and shutting down a Turkish military base in the emirate.Sheikh Mohammed had earlier said the list of demands was “made to be rejected” and on Monday British lawyers for Qatar denounced the demands as “an affront to international law”.”They are reminiscent of the extreme and punitive conduct of ‘bully’ states that have historically resulted in war,” said the lawyers.In the evening, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir expressed hopes for a “positive response to be able to resolve the crisis”.Qatar’s reply would be “examined with precision”, Jubeir told a news conference with German counterpart Sigmar Gabriel in the Red Sea city of Jeddah.Saudi Arabia and its allies announced on June 5 they were severing ties with their Gulf neighbour, sparking the worst diplomatic crisis to hit the region in decades.They accused Qatar of supporting extremism and of being too close to Saudi Arabia’s regional arch-rival Iran, which Doha has strongly denied.The crisis has raised concerns of growing instability in the region, home to some of the world’s largest energy exporters and several key Western allies who host US military bases.The UN Security Council has told Qatar to sort out its differences with its Gulf neighbours, China’s UN ambassador Liu Jieyi said in New York Monday, indicating that the top UN body has no plans to get involved in the dispute.’Disunity could weaken’ partiesGabriel, who will also visit the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait, on called for “serious dialogue” to end the crisis.”We are worried that the distrust and the disunity could weaken all the parties concerned as well as the entire peninsula,” said the German minister.Riyadh and its supporters have already severed air, sea and ground links with Qatar, cutting off vital routes for imports including food.They also ordered Qatari citizens to leave their territories and took various steps against Qatari firms and financial institutions.It is unclear what further measures will be taken if Qatar fails to meet the demands, but the UAE’s ambassador to Russia Omar Ghobash warned last week that further sanctions could be imposed.As well as taking steps to expel Qatar from the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council, Riyadh and its allies could tell their economic partners to choose between business with them or with Doha, he told Britain’s Guardian newspaper.Qatar has long pursued a more independent foreign policy than many of its neighbours, who tend to follow the lead of regional powerhouse Saudi Arabia.- Trump calls leaders -Doha has said it is ready for talks to end the crisis.Kuwait, which along with fellow GCC member Oman has not cut ties with Qatar, has been heading up mediation efforts.US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has also called for compromise and hosted senior Gulf officials, but his efforts have been undermined by remarks from President Donald Trump apparently supporting Riyadh’s position.Trump spoke separately on Sunday with the Saudi king, Abu Dhabi’s crown prince and the Qatari emir about his concerns over the dispute, the White House said.The US president “underscored that unity in the region is critical” but also “reiterated the importance of stopping terrorist financing and discrediting extremist ideology,” a statement said.Egypt said it would host the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE on Wednesday to discuss the crisis.Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani is expected to visit Paris “before the end of the summer” for talks on the Gulf crisis with President Emmanuel Macron, the French presidency said Monday.The two leaders spoke by phone and Macron said hhe would bring up the issue on the margins of this week’s G20 summit and with Trump when he visits Paris on July 13-14.Meanwhile Germany announced that Saudi King Salman had cancelled plans to attend the upcoming G20 summit in Hamburg.
