Why the new US housing bill won’t fix the crisis

NewsFeed Edward Pinto, co-director of the American Enterprise Institute Housing Center argues that the new US housing bill is unlikely to significantly ease the country’s housing crisis. He says it’s too limited to address the core issues – like restrictive local zoning. For the full segment, watch Al Jazeera’s ‘This is America’.

Yamal does not mind lack of goals if Spain win World Cup 2026

Yamal does not mind lack of goals if Spain win World Cup 2026

Spanish star has scored just one goal in the World Cup, where he’s been sharing celebrations with his little brother. Published On 11 Jul 202611 Jul 2026 Despite not scoring a goal in Spain’s quarterfinal win over Belgium, Lamine Yamal was named the player of the match for his contributions and capped off the win by sharing a touching moment with his little brother during the post-match celebrations in Los Angeles. Yamal, who has not scored since Spain’s group-stage win over Saudi Arabia on June 21, said after the match on Friday that nobody will care about his lack of goals if Spain win the World Cup. Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of list At a tournament where stars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have been prolific, 18-year-old Yamal has just one goal to date, in a routine 4-0 group drubbing of Saudi Arabia. He failed to find the net once again as Spain booked their place in the World Cup semifinals for the second time. “Obviously I want to score, but I don’t go onto the pitch thinking about that. I do it thinking about helping the team,” said Yamal. “If we win the World Cup, no one will remember whether I scored goals … The important thing is winning,” said the Barcelona star, after the victory in Los Angeles set up a semifinal clash with France. “I know I can contribute even if I don’t score. I know my movements draw in many opponents, so I do everything I can to help the team,” he said. Despite the lack of goals, Yamal has performed consistently for La Roja and has also broken records along the way. On Friday, he made his sixth FIFA World Cup appearance, the outright most by a player aged 18 or younger in the competition. Breakout star Two years ago, then aged 16, Yamal was the breakout star of the Spanish team that won the European Championships in Germany.

And I have one goal here too, so I’m relaxed about it,” he said, with a smile. But Spain will be hoping Yamal, who turns 19 the day before the semifinal, can bag further goals if his side is to see off the free-scoring tournament favourites France. “There are two possibilities – either they reach three consecutive World Cup finals, or we beat them three times in a row. We’ll see what happens,” said Yamal. “We aren’t afraid at all.” Yamal shares endearing moment with brother Keyne Amid Spain’s post-match celebrations, Yamal and his half-brother Keyne were caught in a sweet moment when the younger sibling was shown on the big screen. The three-year-old was screaming and stuck his tongue out when the camera panned on him. Keyne then blew a kiss at his brother, making the teen Spanish star laugh and wave at him. Keyne, who often accompanies Yamal to award shows and other public events, has been a fan favourite for the crowds at the World Cup. He has been picked up by the cameras on multiple occasions, drawing a chuckle from his older brother and cheers from the crowd around him.
