Everything you need to know about UEFA Euro 2024 football championship
The UEFA Euro 2024 tournament will be held in Germany, and 24 teams will compete to be crowned the champions of Europe. Italy are the title defenders, having won the last edition by beating England in the final on penalties. The 2024 edition marks the return of the tournament to its usual four-year cycle after the 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s everything you need to know about Euro 2024: What are the key dates? The monthlong championship will start on June 14 at the Munich Football Arena with hosts Germany playing Scotland. The group stage will run until June 26 with the knockout stage beginning on June 29. The final will be played on July 14 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. This will be the first time Germany has hosted the tournament since its unification in 1990. The 1988 edition was staged in what was then West Germany. Germany was chosen as the host nation at a UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Nyon, Switzerland, in 2018. Turkey was the only other nation that bid to host the tournament. Where is the tournament being held? Ten venues have been chosen for the tournament. Of those, nine were used when Germany hosted the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Here are the host cities and stadiums: ⚽ Berlin: Olympiastadion Berlin (capacity: 71,000)⚽ Cologne: Cologne Stadium (43,000)⚽ Dortmund: BVB Stadion Dortmund (62,000)⚽ Dusseldorf: Dusseldorf Arena (47,000)⚽ Frankfurt: Frankfurt Arena (47,000)⚽ Gelsenkirchen: Arena AufSchalke (50,000)⚽ Hamburg: Volksparkstadion Hamburg (49,000)⚽ Leipzig: Leipzig Stadium (40,000)⚽ Munich: Munich Football Arena (66,000)⚽ Stuttgart: Stuttgart Arena (51,000) Munich will stage matches for the second Euro in succession, having been one of 11 venues that held matches during Euro 2020. Munich Football Arena will be one of the stadiums used during Euro 2024 [Alexandra Beier/AFP] How many teams are taking part? Twenty-four teams divided into six groups will participate in the tournament. There will be 51 matches in total. ⚽ Group A: Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland⚽ Group B: Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania⚽ Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England⚽ Group D: Poland, Netherlands, Austria, France⚽ Group E: Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine⚽ Group F: Turkey, Georgia, Portugal, Czech Republic Georgia are the only team making their European Championship finals debut while Ukraine and Poland qualified via the playoffs. Who are the favourites? France, Germany, England, Portugal and Spain are among the frontrunners. Portugal were the only side who won all their games during the qualifying phase while France and England were unbeaten and Spain lost only one match. Germany are also considered one of the favourites on account of being the hosts, even though they had a disappointing performance at the 2022 World Cup. Which key teams failed to qualify? Sweden and Norway are the two big names who failed to qualify for Euro 2024. The Swedes did not make the cut for the Euros for the first time since 1996 while Norway have not played since 2000. Their failure to qualify means fans will miss out on watching high-profile Premier League players such as Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard and Alexander Isak in Germany. Manchester City superstar striker Erling Haaland will not take part in Euro 2024 after Norway failed to qualify [Marko Djurica/Reuters] What is the tournament format? The top two teams from each group along with the four best third-place finishers will progress to the round of 16. That will be followed by the quarterfinals, semifinals and the final. The Euro 2024 winner will compete in the 2025 CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions against the 2024 Copa America winner. What is the squad size? UEFA, which governs European football, confirmed in May that the maximum squad size will increase from 23 to 26 players. Teams were allowed 26-man squads at Euro 2020 due to the impact of the pandemic, but UEFA had initially planned to revert to the 23-man teams at Euro 2024. Expanded squads were also permitted at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar because it was played in the middle of the domestic season. Expanded squads are beneficial for managers as the busy schedule at the club level creates more risk of injuries to players. When do teams have to submit their squads? Participating countries had until June 7 to provide UEFA with a squad list containing a minimum of 23 players and a maximum of 26.

World War II veteran, 100, weds 96-year-old bride near D-Day beach
Together, the collective age of the bride and groom was nearly 200. But American World War II veteran Harold Terens and his sweetheart Jeanne Swerlin proved that love is eternal as they tied the knot near the D-Day beaches in Normandy, France. Their respective ages – he is 100, she is a youngster of just 96 – made their nuptials on Saturday an almost double-century celebration. Terens called it “the best day of my life”. On her way into the nuptials, the bubbly bride-to-be said, “It’s not just for young people, love, you know? We get butterflies. And we get a little action, also”. The location was the elegant stone-worked town hall of Carentan, a key initial D-Day objective that saw ferocious fighting after the June 6, 1944, Allied landings that helped defeat Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Like other towns and villages across the Normandy coast where nearly 160,000 Allied troops came ashore under fire on five code-named beaches, it is an effervescent hub of remembrance and celebration on the 80th anniversary of that day, festooned with flags and bunting and with veterans feted like rockstars. As the swing of Glenn Miller and other period tunes rang out on the streets, well-wishers – some in WWII-period clothes – were already lined up a good hour before the wedding, behind barriers outside the town hall, with a rousing pipe and drum band also on hand to serenade the happy couple. After both declaring “oui” to vows read by Carentan’s mayor in English, the couple exchanged rings. “With this ring, I thee wed,” Terens said. She giggled and gasped, “Really?” With champagne flutes in hand, they waved through an open window to the adoring crowds outside. “To everybody’s good health. And to peace in the world and the preservation of democracy all over the world and the end of the war in Ukraine and Gaza,” Terens said as he and his bride then clinked glasses and drank. The crowd yelled “la mariee!” – the bride! – to Swerlin, who wore a long flowing dress of vibrant pink. Terens looked dapper in a light blue suit and matching pink kerchief in his breast pocket. Wedding party at the Elysee And they enjoyed a very special wedding-night party: They were invited to the state dinner at the Elysee Palace on Saturday night with President Emmanuel Macron and United States President Joe Biden. “Congratulations to the newlyweds,” Macron said, prompting cheers and a standing ovation from other guests during the toast praising French-American friendship. “[The town of] Carentan was happy to host your wedding, and us, your wedding dinner,” he told the couple. The wedding was symbolic, not binding in law. Mayor Jean-Pierre Lhonneur’s office said he was not empowered to wed foreigners who are not residents of Carentan, and that the couple had not requested legally binding vows. However, they could always complete those formalities back in the US state of Florida if they wished. Lhonneur likes to say that Normandy is practically the 51st state of the United States, given its reverence and gratitude for Allied soldiers and the sacrifices of tens of thousands who never made it home from the Battle of Normandy. “Love is eternal, yes, maybe,” the mayor said, referring to the newlyweds, although his comments also fittingly describe the feelings of many Normans for veterans. “I hope for them the best happiness together.” Dressed in a 1940s dress that belonged to her mother, Louise, and a red beret, 73-year-old Jane Ollier was among the spectators who waited for a glimpse of the lovebirds. The couple, both widowed, grew up in New York City: she in Brooklyn, he in the Bronx. “It’s so touching to get married at that age,” Ollier said. “If it can bring them happiness in the last years of their lives, that’s fantastic.” D-Day memories The World War II veteran first visited France as a 20-year-old US Army Air Forces corporal shortly after D-Day. Terens enlisted in 1942 and, after shipping to the United Kingdom, was attached to a four-pilot P-47 Thunderbolt fighter unit as their radio repair technician. On D-Day, Terens helped repair planes returning from France so they could rejoin the battle. He said half his company’s pilots died that day. Terens himself went to France 12 days later, helping transport freshly captured Germans and just-freed American POWs to England. Following the Nazi surrender in May 1945, Terens again helped transport freed Allied prisoners to the United Kingdom before he shipped back to the US a month later. Swerlin made it abundantly clear that her new centenarian husband does not lack charm. “He’s the greatest kisser ever, you know?” she proudly declared before they embraced enthusiastically for TV cameras. “All right ! That’s it for now !” Terens said as he came up for air. To which she quickly quipped, “You mean there’s more later?” Adblock test (Why?)
US, France pledge support as Biden warns Russia ‘will not stop’ at Ukraine
The United States and France have both reaffirmed support for Ukraine in its battle against Russia’s invasion during a meeting in the French capital. Speaking at a joint news conference at the Presidential Elysee Palace in Paris on Saturday, President Joe Biden warned that Vladimir Putin would “not stop” at Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron, in turn, hailed his US counterpart’s loyalty to Europe. “All of Europe will be threatened, we are not going to let that happen,” Biden said during his state visit to France. “The United States is standing strong with Ukraine. We will not, I say it again, walk away.” Macron then told Biden in front of reporters: “I thank you, Mr President, for being the president of the world’s number one power but doing it with the loyalty of a partner who likes and respects the Europeans.” The US president has been in France since Wednesday, taking part in commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings that changed the course of World War II. On Friday, both Biden and Macron met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris, pledging support for Ukraine. In a statement released by the White House on Saturday, the French and US leaders said they agreed that wider security across the Atlantic was at stake in Russia’s war. “France and the United States co-chair the artillery coalition at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group and intend to take new steps to provide the necessary support to Ukraine in the current phase and in the longer term,” the statement said, referring to a coalition of about 50 countries that meet regularly to discuss Ukraine’s security needs. The US and France also reaffirmed their commitments to the “continued provision of political, security, humanitarian, and economic assistance to Ukraine”, the statement said. US President Joe Biden, right, shakes hands with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, left, as they hold a bilateral meeting at the Intercontinental Hotel in Paris [Saul Loeb/AFP] Shared goals, diverging strategy Speaking to Al Jazeera, Former US Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker said that Washington and Paris both seek “to make sure that Ukraine survives as a sovereign, independent European democracy”. He added the countries are also unified in their desire to halt “Putin’s ideology of re-establishing an empire and denying the existence of the Ukrainian people”. However, the former diplomat said that the nations differ on how to carry out their goals. “The US has been very cautious, has been very concerned about escalation and very concerned about poking Putin,” Volker said. “Macron, more recently, has been pushing the envelope. He’s been talking about what more can be done to help Ukraine, including the possibility of helping regulate their air defences by having some trainers on the ground in Ukraine.” Macron on Friday said he had discussed such a plan with NATO leaders, with some agreeing to join the effort. That would be finalised “in the days ahead”, he said. The US has been staunchly opposed to having any of its personnel on the ground in Ukraine, a position that has remained unchanged since Russia invaded its neighbour in February 2022. Biden and Macron also discussed their support for using interest earned from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine, a move that has been met with scepticism from some European G7 allies. ‘We’re still in it’ Ukrainian forces, long outgunned by Russia, have struggled to maintain pressure against Russia along the 1,000-kilometre (621-mile) front line in recent months. That has come as some support from Western allies has flagged. Still, Kyiv received a boost in recent weeks, with France and Germany at the end of May allowing Ukraine to use the weapons they provided against targets on Russian soil. The US soon followed suit, giving Ukraine permission to use weapons provided by Washington in Russian territory near Kharkiv. In Paris on Friday, Biden apologised to Zelenskyy for previous delays in Washington’s aid to Kyiv, stressing that the US is “not going to walk away” from supporting Ukraine. “We’re still in – completely, thoroughly,” he said.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs under investigation for alleged ‘pay-to-play’ scheme
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs is being investigated for an alleged “pay-for-play” scheme after a report revealed a group home business that looks after vulnerable children was approved for a rate hike after it donated to her inauguration and the Arizona Democratic Party. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, said her office has launched a probe into the matter after receiving a request from state Sen. T.J. Shope, a Republican who is also the Arizona Senate president pro tempore. The request came after a report in The Arizona Republic showed Sunshine Residential Homes, the operator of group homes for foster kids, was approved for a nearly 60% increase in taxpayer funds via the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) after previously being denied an increase. ARIZONA GOVERNOR VETOES ‘ALIEN INVASION ACT’ THAT WOULD ALLOW POLICE TO ARREST ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSERS The approval came after the private company donated around $400,000 to Hobbs, including to her campaign and inauguration, as well as to the state Democratic Party, according to the report. The publication reported that, since July 2022, group home providers have asked the department at least a dozen times to increase the rate for a standard bed. One provider, Ohana Homes, received an increase to $155 a day in September 2022, before Hobbs took office, and then Ohana’s contract was not renewed this year. Sunshine Residential Homes sought a 20% rate increase in December 2022, to $179 per day, but DCS refused on Feb. 6, 2023, according to records provided by the department cited by The Arizona Republic. Then, on Feb. 9, 2023, a $100,000 check from Sunshine was credited to Hobbs’ inaugural campaign. And in May 2023, it secured a rate increase, netting Sunshine Residential $234 per day for standard group home services. It is far higher than the average $169 for other group homes. However, a spokesperson for Hobbs told the publication the payment was made Dec. 15, 2022. The increase means Sunshine is receiving the most out of dozens of home providers operating in the state, The Arizona Republic reported, citing DCS and state contract records it reviewed. The publication also reported that no other group home provider has been approved for a rate increase during Hobbs’ tenure. Sunshine requested the increase due to financial hardships amid the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation, according to The Arizona Republic. ARIZONA GOVERNOR RIPS GOP HYPOCRISY AFTER STATE SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS ABORTION BAN Shope, meanwhile, also sent the letter to Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell. He says it’s now it’s up to investigators to determine what happened. “We were talking about millions of dollars, and to know that not many, if any at all, have seen rate increases that large, it was definitely troubling,” Shope said, according to Fox 10 Phoenix. The firm’s CEO was on the Hobbs’ inauguration committee. “I have to believe that they, at the very least, see the allegations the same way that I do, which is troubling at best and possibly worse,” Shope said. Nick Klingerman, chief counsel of the criminal division in Mayes’ office, said they are obligated to investigate the matter after being notified. “The Criminal Division of the Attorney General’s Office is statutorily authorized to investigate the allegations and offenses outlined in your letter. To that end, the Attorney General’s Office will be opening an investigation,” he wrote. A spokesperson for Hobbs’ office denied the accusations in a statement and said the governor’s office played no role in the DCS decision on Sunshine’s pay. “Just like past investigations instigated by radical and partisan legislators, the administration will be cleared of wrongdoing,” the statement said. “Governor Hobbs is a social worker who has been a champion for Arizona families and kids. It is outrageous to suggest her administration would not do what’s right for children in foster care.” The move to approve a rate increase to Sunshine Residential Homes came at a time when the state is looking to reduce the use of group homes and move vulnerable children into family settings. For instance, the DCS has denied pay increases to home operators and cut ties of 16 providers during the contract renewal process, The Arizona Republic reported.
Anti-Israel agitators vandalize property near White House, shout ‘piggy’ at ranger pelted with thrown objects
Anti-Israel agitators outside the White House threw objects at a National Park Service ranger, shouting “piggy, piggy!” at him, and defaced statues on Saturday in Washington, D.C. Holding signs that accused President Biden of being on “the wrong side of history,” protesters converged on the White House after security measures at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue were tightened in anticipation of the demonstration. Protesters waved Palestinian flags, chanted “Free Palestine!” and held innumerable signs, urging Biden to stop his support for Israel. Although the protest started out peacefully, hostile demonstrators soon began targeting park rangers, shouting “F-you, fascist!” and “piggy, piggy, oink, oink!” Demonstrators began making a human chain around the White House, which they referred to as “the people’s red line,” a reference to Biden saying Israel has not crossed his “red line” in the war. ADDITIONAL BARRIERS ERECTED AROUND WHITE HOUSE AHEAD OF PLANNED PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATION Protesters also started defacing the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square next to the White House with red handprints to symbolize the “blood” on Biden’s hands. “May the cries of all the kids you bomb haunt you,” another protester’s sign read. Several additional barriers were put in place around the White House ahead of this weekend’s planned demonstration, where activists are calling for an end to U.S. support for Israel amid its war with Hamas militants. A handful of activist groups, including CODEPINK and the Council on American Islamic Relations, said this week that they planned to mark eight months of the war in the Middle East through demonstrations in the nation’s capital. JEWISH STUDENTS FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST UCLA OVER ANTI-ISRAEL ENCAMPMENT ON CAMPUS The White House protest, organized by Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), is the most significant of Saturday’s D.C. demonstrations. Some protesters have shown frustration with Biden’s policies, including at least eight White House staffers who have quit due to their opposition to his stance on the war in Gaza and American ally Israel, according to the Voice of America.

Yale Law professor outlines potential Trump legal strategy following guilty verdict: ‘What the nation needs’
A Yale Law professor suggests there is another strategy former President Donald Trump’s legal team could pursue to limit the impact of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case on the 2024 presidential election, after a New York jury found the former president guilty of 34 felony counts of falsified business records. In a newly-created podcast, titled Straight Down the Middle, Yale Law Professor Jed Rubenfeld took a look at what legal options Trump’s defense team have been left with following the jury’s verdict, as well as the appeal process that is slated to soon take place. The most obvious path for Trump’s legal team to take in an effort to challenge the conviction is that of an appeal through the New York Appeals Court system in hopes of ending up at the Supreme Court – a process that Rubenfeld argued will take years to complete and could result in “irreparable harm.” “Of course that would take years, and that’s a problem here. Why is it a problem? It’s a problem because the election will have taken place and if this conviction is unlawful and unconstitutional, it could have an effect on that election,” Rubenfeld, a Constitutional law professor, said on his podcast. FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR PREDICTS TRUMP’S CRIMINAL CHARGES WILL ‘BE OVERTURNED’ Pointing to surveys that show a “substantial number” of voters from the American electorate who say they will still vote for Trump in the upcoming presidential election if he is a convicted felon, Rubenfeld said, “If that’s true, an unlawful conviction in this case could interfere with, and in fact decide the outcome of, the next election of the next President of the United States.” “Even if the conviction were reversed on appeal years later, that effect could not be undone. In legal terms, that’s called irreparable harm,” Rubenfeld said. If the conviction were to be reversed on appeal down the road, Rubenfeld suggested that Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan would have “unlawfully interfered with the election and decided the outcome of the next election through unconstitutional means.” “And no years-long appeal could have any effect on that,” he added. Despite media reports, Rubenfeld insisted that it’s “not true” that Trump is already a “convicted felon,” arguing that one is “not a convicted felon because of a jury verdict.” “You are not convicted until the judge enters that judgment of guilt. Now, in New York, it’s very likely that Judge Merchan will enter that judgment of guilt against Trump on the same day that he issues sentencing. That’d be July 11th.” Rubenfeld insisted there’s “one other avenue” Trump’s attorneys could take in combating the conviction — to sue in federal court and “ask for an emergency, temporary restraining order.” Outlining what that effort would look like, Rubenfeld said: “In this federal action, Trump would sue District Attorney Bragg and other state actors and ask the judge, the federal judge, for an emergency temporary restraining order halting Judge Merchan from entering that judgment of guilt until the federal courts have had an opportunity to review and rule out the serious constitutional arguments that exist here.” Rubenfeld, expressing concern over how it’s a “bad look for this country” to criminally target former presidents for “unclear” crimes, also outlined what he believed to be problems with the case surrounding Trump. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TRUMP’S CONVICTION? LEGAL EXPERTS BREAK IT DOWN “Going after, criminally, a former president of the United States and somebody who is running for president now, that’s a very bad look for this country,” he said. “It’s an especially bad look when the folks bringing the case and the judge deciding it are members of the opposing political party. And it’s an even worse look when the crime is so unclear that the state is hiding the ball about what the actual charges are right up through the trial and indeed into the trial.” ‘”Even now, we don’t know exactly what the jury found Trump guilty of,” Rubenfeld added. Rubenfeld said those who criminally target members of opposing political parties, in this case Trump, the “poll-leading candidate,” then they “better have the goods.” “You better not be pursuing some novel legal theory where you have to hide the ball [and] it’s not even clear what the charges are,” he said. “That could be a very dangerous precedent for this country. A very bad and dangerous precedent.” “That’s why it’s so important for a federal court to review the constitutionality of this prosecution and decide was it constitutional or was it not,” he added. “The only way to achieve that before the election takes place is for the Trump team to file an action in federal court and ask the federal court to temporarily hold off the entry of the judgment of guilt until the federal courts, and maybe the Supreme Court itself, can, on an emergency basis, adjudicate the likelihood of success of these constitutional arguments.” If that doesn’t happen, Rubenfeld said, then “that ‘irreparable harm’ danger that I mentioned before, well, that’s where we are.” “But if it does happen, the nation could get a ruling from the federal courts, even the Supreme Court of the United States, before the election takes place,” he said. “Maybe that’s what the nation needs, and maybe that’s what the law requires here.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Last week, at his trial in Manhattan, Trump was found guilty by the jury on all 34 counts of falsifying business records related to the hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election. Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11 and could be sent to prison, just days before the Republican National Convention is slated to take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
