… The death toll continued to rise in the Middle East. There were reports of new attacks launched by Iran against Israel and vice versa. Several civilian buildings were hit in northern and southern Israel, in what may have been the largest Iranian attack in four days. On Sunday night, Israeli shells hit Iranian positions east of the capital, Tehran. We are following the developments in the Middle East conflict in this liveblog . The G7 is scheduled to meet in Canada this week and will have to add this conflict to its agenda. The world’s seven largest economies also want Russia to agree to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine or face a new package of sanctions . |
The defense of imaginative accounting in the military field. Let's imagine a country that spends little more than 1% of its GDP on National Defense and aims to reach 2%. This country — ours — is part of NATO, which is already discussing the possibility of increasing military spending to 5% (with nuances). Now, if spending increases, then expenditure will have to increase, right? Wrong, and the Economy editor of Observador Alexandra Machado explains why in this special . NATO accepts that items as different as pensions or food be admitted in the defense accounts, and not just ammunition or fuel for combat vehicles, for example. In other words, everything depends on how the expense divisions are arranged in the accounting theater to increase the percentage of GDP invested in defense. |
“I walked away when I could divide. Now I return to unite.” This is a quote from the speech presenting António José Seguro’s presidential candidacy. The former socialist leader filled the Caldas da Rainha Cultural and Congress Centre this Sunday and journalist Mariana Lima Cunha read between the lines of the speech . Seguro says what he is here for and where he comes from. He guarantees that he is prepared to be an arbiter in a country that must seek to create wealth. The man who led the JS and the PS presents himself as the candidate of “seriousness” and a “bulletproof ethical dimension”. |
FC Porto made their debut with a goalless draw at the Club World Cup in the United States of America. The blue and whites faced Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras in New Jersey, but felt the weight of a grueling and atypical season . In the statistics, coach Martín Anselmi managed to keep a second consecutive clean sheet , which is the first time since he arrived at FC Porto. Before that, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Atlético de Madrid 4-0 in the third match of the competition, in Pasadena, Los Angeles. Under a strong sun and high temperatures, Vitinha once again put on a spectacular display of efficiency in the victory of the European champions. And there will also be a lopsided match that was only seen on consoles for history. The amateurs of Auckland City were defeated 10-0 by the professionals of Bayern Munich. The game changed at 6 and ended at 10. Benfica will play tonight , at 11 pm, against the Argentines of Boca Juniors, in Miami. |
