Gueye returns to Everton as PSG offload outcasts

Senegal midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye left Paris Saint-Germain and returned to former club Everton on transfer deadline day on Thursday, as the French champions continued to offload unwanted members of their squad.

Gueye, 32, signed for Everton for an undisclosed fee and has penned a two-year contract to June 2024, the Premier League side said.

French media reports said PSG could expect to receive a fee in the region of 10 million euros ($9.9m).

“Paris Saint-Germain would like to wish Idrissa Gueye the very best for the future,” PSG said in a statement on their website.

Gueye previously spent three years at Everton before moving to PSG in 2019 for a reported £30 million ($34.6m).

The former Lille and Aston Villa player notably won two Ligue 1 titles in Paris, and also featured on their run to the Champions League final in 2020.

Gueye made 34 appearances last season but was one of several PSG players frozen out since the appointment of Christophe Galtier as coach in July.

PSG have been eager to reduce their wage bill to leave more room for new signings while also respecting UEFA’s financial sustainability regulations.

Gueye’s Senegal international teammate Abou Diallo, 26, has also left PSG, in his case to return to the Bundesliga to join RB Leipzig on loan.

The German club have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the campaign.

Centre-back Diallo, who can also play as a left-back, joined PSG at the same time as Gueye in 2019, costing 32 million euros from Borussia Dortmund.

Also leaving PSG on Thursday was Layvin Kurzawa, with the left-back moving to the Premier League to join Fulham on loan until the end of the season.

Former Monaco star Kurzawa, 29, has won 13 caps for France but has not played for PSG since August last year.

Azarenka romps past Kostyuk into US Open third round

Azarenka romps past Kostyuk into US Open third round

Belarus’s Victoria Azarenka romped into the US Open third round on Thursday with a largely tension-free straight sets victory over Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk.

Two-time Grand Slam champion Azarenka, who has reached the final of the US Open on three previous occasions, was always in control as she sealed a 6-2, 6-3 win.

The clash between 26th seed she and Kostyuk had raised the possibility of a politically-charged contest.

image 32

However the only hint of tension came at the end of the match, with Kostyuk offering a perfunctory touch of racquets with she instead of a handshake.

Last week, she was axed from an exhibition event on the eve of the US Open aimed at raising money for war-torn Ukraine.

she was due to have joined a star-studded field for the fundraiser, which was timed to coincide with Ukraine’s Independence Day celebrations.

Kostyuk however was one of a number of Ukraine players who spoke out about Azarenka’s participation.

Organisers subsequently jettisoned she with Kostyuk saying she would boycott the event if the veteran took part.

Belarus is a close ally of Russia and has allowed Moscow to use its territory to launch attacks into Ukraine.

But there was no obvious evidence of bad blood during Thursday’s encounter held on Court 17 at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center.

she quickly took control of the contest against Kostyuk, the 20-year-old world number 65 from Kyiv, whose best result at a Grand Slam was reaching the fourth round of last year’s French Open.

Azarenka scored two early breaks to ease through the first set, and then broke Kostyuk twice in the opening four games of the second set to take a 4-0 lead before closing out the win.

Azarenka will face either Spanish fourth seed Paula Badosa or Croatia’s Petra Martic in the third round.

UNICEF, the United Nations International Children’s Education Fund, has issued a warning that more than three million children are at danger for health problems amid the other crises that are already looming in the wake of the nation’s disastrous floods.

A report from the international organisation for children’s rights stated that “torrential monsoon rains have triggered the most severe flooding in Pakistan’s recent history, washing away villages and leaving more than three million children in need of humanitarian assistance and at increased risk of waterborne diseases, drowning, and malnutrition.”

It stated that the devastation caused by this year’s high monsoon rains in Pakistan, which brought about devastating storms, floods, and landslides, has affected at least 33 million people, of whom about 16 million are children.

Poland asks Germany for war reparations of 1.3 trillion euros

Poland asks Germany for war reparations of 1.3 trillion euros

Poland on Thursday estimated the financial cost of World War II losses to be 1.3 trillion euros (dollars) and said it would “ask Germany to negotiate these reparations”.

“It is a major sum of 6.2 trillion” Polish zloty, said Jaroslaw Kaczynski, head of the ruling Law and Justice party and widely considered to be Poland’s de facto leader.

Most of this sum “is compensation for the deaths of more than 5.2 million Polish citizens,” he stressed.

Kaczynski said that receiving reparations would be a “long and difficult” process.

“It is a decision we will implement,” he said, speaking on the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939.
Kaczynski was speaking at a conference dedicated to the presentation of a report on Poland’s losses in the 1939-1945 war.

Since coming to power in 2015, Poland’s governing Law and Justice (PiS) party has often championed the issue of war reparations.

Work on the reparations report began in 2017, when the conservative government insisted that Germany had a “moral duty” in the matter.

German position ‘unchanged’
Germany has often rejected Poland’s claims, pointing to a 1953 decision by Poland to renounce claims against East Germany.

The German government on Thursday turned down the Polish call to negotiate on reparations.

“The German government’s position is unchanged, the reparations issue is closed,” a foreign ministry spokesman said in an email to .

He cited the 1953 decision, calling it a “significant foundation for Europe’s order today”.

The liberal Polish opposition believes the report is mainly intended for domestic political purposes, coming as it does a year ahead of parliamentary elections.

“The PiS initiative on war reparations has been appearing for several years, whenever PiS needs to build a political narrative,” said Donald Tusk, chairman of the main opposition Civic Platform (PO).

“This is not about any reparations from Germany, but a political campaign” in Poland, he added, with Kaczynski seeking to “rebuild the support of the ruling party through this anti-German campaign”.

‘Unbelievably criminal, unbelievably cruel’
But Kaczynski insisted that the reparations report needs to be acted upon.

“We have not only prepared a report… but we have also taken a decision, a decision on further action,” Kaczynski said.

“That action is to ask Germany to negotiate these reparations. And this is a decision that we will implement,” he added.

“The Germans invaded Poland and did us enormous damage. The occupation was unbelievably criminal, unbelievably cruel and caused effects that in many cases continue to this day.”

Apart from the overall death toll put at 5.3 million, the new report provides other shocking statistics, including that 2.1 million Polish citizens were deported to labour in Nazi Germany.

As a result of being forced to undergo pseudo-medical experiments and detention in concentration camps, 590,000 Poles were disabled.

Over the duration of the six-year World War, Poland lost 50 percent of its lawyers, 40 percent of the doctors and 35 percent of university professors.

Human losses were calculated as the loss of wages that a person would have earned for the rest of his or her life, and thus the loss to the national GDP.

Material losses were also tallied at an estimated 800 billion zlotys (170 billion euros).

The total figure also includes multi-billion losses related to cultural and artistic assets and in the banking sector.

Cate Blanchett: I’m not making female or lesbian propaganda

Cate Blanchett’s powerful female, gender-fluid and gay roles have helped transform Hollywood, but she told Venice on Thursday that she never sets out to make a political statement.

She won the best actress award at the Venice Film Festival in 2007 for her performance as Bob Dylan, and starred in “Carol”, one of the most iconic gay films of recent years.

image 35

Her latest role is in “Tar”, competing for the Golden Lion in Venice this week, as a renowned lesbian conductor accused of inappropriate liaisons with female colleagues.

But speaking to reporters at the festival, she insisted none of her work was designed as activism.

“I don’t see artistic practice as an education tool,” she said.

“I’m not interested in agitprop. While there’s a lot of hot button topics that come up in this movie, it’s not about any of those things — they’re plot devices.

“After the thing is made, it can be politicised, discussed, people can be disgusted with it, offended by it, inspired by it, but that’s outside our control.”

When she was preparing to make “Tar” with US director Todd Field, she said she “didn’t think about the character’s gender nor her sex at all”.

image 36

“I think perhaps we’ve matured enough as a species that we can watch a film like this and not make that the headline issue.

“It wasn’t until we started doing the press and they said, ‘You have women at the centre of this’ and I thought: ‘Oh shit — yeah, we do!’ That didn’t cross my mind.”

Asked about the position of women in the film industry, Blanchett said things had greatly improved during her career thanks to “female trail-blazing actors… and amazing men alongside us.”

But one continuing obstacle is the refusal of big-name male actors to accept smaller roles.

“It’s very hard to get our brothers in Hollywood to play supporting roles that we would very happily play in a good story with a good director — that still is typical,” she said.

War in Ukraine: latest developments

Here are the latest developments in the war in Ukraine:

  • UN team visits endangered atomic plant –

A 14-strong team of UN nuclear inspectors visits the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine to ensure its safety amid concern that the war which is raging nearby could spark a nuclear accident.

The inspection of Europe’s biggest nuclear facility went ahead despite further shelling in the area that forced the closure of one of its six reactors. Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of being responsible for the attacks.

After the visit, Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, announces that the IAEA will be “staying” at the station.

“The IAEA is staying here. Let the world know that the IAEA is staying at Zaporizhzhia,” he says.

Macron defends Putin outreach
French President Emmanuel Macron defends his policy of keeping up dialogue with Russia, saying that Turkey should not be the only world power talking to Moscow.

Macron drew criticism at the start of the war for his failed attempts to talk his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin out of invading Ukraine. After a lengthy pause following widespread claims of Russian war crimes in Ukraine he spoke again with Putin on August 19.

“Who wants Turkey to be the only world power which continues to talk to Russia?” the president told a meeting of French ambassadors at the Elysee Palace.

“The job of a diplomat is to talk to everyone, especially to people with whom we do not agree.”

Putin visits Kaliningrad
As tensions soar between Moscow and the West, Putin visits Russia’s Baltic Sea territory of Kaliningrad, which is wedged between NATO member countries.

Kaliningrad is separated from the Russian mainland by Lithuania which has firmly backed Ukraine.

Russia in June clashed with Lithuania after Vilnius banned the rail transit of sanctioned goods from mainland Russia to Kaliningrad. The EU later ordered Lithuania to let goods through, with the exception of russia
