Politiet brukte tåregass mot demonstranter i Mexico – ti dager før VM

Demonstrerende lærere brøt gjennom avsperringene ved en VM-fansone i Mexico by og ble møtt med tåregass.
Kort tid før VM-starten i den mexicanske hovedstaden har det oppstått sammenstøt mellom lærere og lokalt politi, rapporterer nyhetsbyrået AFP.
Mandag brukte politiet tåregass mot de demonstrerende lærerne for å nekte dem å komme seg fram til det historiske Zocalo-torget. Der jobbes det med å sette i stand en supportersone med en gigantisk storskjerm til fotball-VM, der Mexico er et av tre vertsland.
Sammenstøtet begynte da lærerne, som krever høyere lønn og bedre pensjonsvilkår, brøt gjennom en av avsperringene som er satt opp ved inngangen til torget, som ligger like ved Mexicos regjeringsbygg.
– Dette arrangementet må avlyses. Vår sak er langt viktigere enn litt underholdning og hygge, sier fagforeningsleder Filiberto Frausto til AFP.
Minst to personer ble skadet i mandagens sammenstøt med politiet. Demonstrantene brukte fyrverkeri mot politiet som svar på tåregassen.
Lærerne har tidligere slått leir på Zocalo-torget for å legge press på regjeringen, men den seneste tiden har området vært massivt bevoktet som følge av forberedelsene til VM. (NTB) milkshakeslot.online

England weigh Baker Test debut amid weather concerns

England have announced a 12-man squad for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's, with quick bowler Sonny Baker in contention for his debut. Coach Brendon McCullum supports Baker's 'full noise' approach, while Gus Atkinson could feature if conditions are less hot.

The squad mirrors last November's Ashes strategy when both Mark Wood and Shoaib Bashir were initially selected before Wood's extra pace was preferred. This time, Bashir has been chosen over Rehan Ahmed as the frontline spinner, with Jacob Bethell fit to bowl if needed after recovering from a finger injury.

Liverpool closing on deal to make Andoni Iraola head coach after holding talks

  • Spaniard is clear frontrunner to replace Arne Slot

  • Liverpool want to make a hire before World Cup starts

Liverpool are closing in on the appointment of Andoni Iraola as their head coach having opened talks with Arne Slot’s preferred successor.

Iraola is the clear frontrunner for the Anfield vacancy with his style of play fitting Liverpool’s criteria for the front-footed, aggressive approach they felt was lacking in Slot’s second season in charge. The Dutchman was sacked on Saturday.
