BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) -Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski scored twice as the hosts cruised to a 3-0 win over French side Brest on Tuesday, with the Polish striker joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players to pass the 100 goals mark in the competition. The victory lifted Barca to second in the 36-team table on 12 points from five games, one point behind Inter Milan and level with third-placed Liverpool, who host Real Madrid on Wednesday. Brest dropped to ninth spot with 10 points. Lewandowski put Barcelona ahead after being fouled by goalkeeper Marco Bizot and converting from the spot in the 10th minute, scoring his 100th Champions League goal. After successive LaLiga games without a victory, and still missing injured teenage winger Lamine Yamal, Barca returned to winning ways with a dominant display as they created 19 scoring attempts against a side who did not have a shot on target. But the wasteful hosts squandered several chances to extend their lead and were almost caught out by a couple of counter attacks before Dani Olmo got their second with a fine individual goal after dribbling past two defenders and firing home. Lewandowski wrapped up the win in added time with a tidy finish inside the far post from Alejandro Balde’s assist. “I’m very happy, very happy. 101 goals in the Champions League is great number,” Lewandowski told Movistar Plus. “I didn’t think I could score so many goals in the Champions League. To join Messi and Ronaldo ... I guess they are good, right? PATIENCE NEEDED Despite faltering domestic league form Barca top LaLiga, four points ahead of Real Madrid who have a game in hand. “We haven’t been playing well in LaLiga lately, but we have a lot of games to play yet. We just have to be patient, we’ll score more goals in the end,” added Lewandowski. “We’re looking to win every game. If I can score goals to help the team, all the better. We have to win every game until the end of the season.” At 36, Lewandowski has been in top form this term, scoring 22 goals in 19 games in all competitions for Barcelona. He is the leading scorer in the Champions League this season with seven goals in five games and in LaLiga with 15 goals and two assists in 14 matches. Lewandowski’s first Champions League goal was for Borussia Dortmund in a 3-1 win over Olympiakos Piraeus in October 2011. With the German side he netted 17 goals in 28 Champions League games in three seasons and took his tally to new heights after moving to Bayern Munich, scoring 69 goals in 78 games in eight campaigns before joining Barcelona two years ago. However, Lewandowski still has a mountain to climb to surpass former Barca great Messi’s 129 Champions League goals, with Ronaldo holding the record on 140. Fourth on the list is Karim Benzema, with 90 goals and now playing in Saudi Arabia. The closest player to Lewandowski who is still active in the Champions League is his former Bayern teammate Thomas Muller with 54.

Δ document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() );(Reuters) : Nicaragua’s parliament on Monday approved a law that seeks to nullify foreign sanctions issued against President Daniel Ortega’s vice president and wife Rosario Murillo, several of their children and some 50 high-ranking state officials. The legislation, although unable to curb the impact of sanctions outside the country, aims to nullify their reach within Nicaragua by forcing local banks and other institutions to ignore them. It was unanimously approved by all 91 pro-government deputies in the Central American nation’s ruling Sandinista Front-dominated parliament after Ortega sent the bill to parliament last week. Walmaro Gutierrez, a deputy from Ortega’s Sandinista party who has been sanctioned by the United States since 2020, said the law enshrines the country’s sovereignty and independence. “We are tired of having the sword of Damocles always hanging over us or a boot always pressing against our neck,” he said. The law will become effective once it is published in the official gazette, which could happen within days. The “law to protect Nicaraguans from foreign sanctions and aggressions” declares sanctions imposed by foreign states, groups of states and organizations that violate international law as “null and void without any legal effect.” While Ortega cannot prevent foreign entities from issuing sanctions, the legislation seeks to block their impact within Nicaragua and puts pressure on bankers, who could face severe repercussions. It rules that no person or entity can suspend goods or services to sanctioned individuals or companies or they could face fines, a temporary or definitive suspension of operations and potential imprisonment under treason charges. Treason is often punished by around 10 years in prison, but prominent government critic Bishop Rolando Alvarez was stripped of his citizenship and sentenced to 26 years last year. He was later expelled to the Vatican. The United States, European Union, Switzerland and Canada have sanctioned some 50 top officials, including Murillo, some of Ortega’s children and police and army chiefs, accusing them of serious human rights violations during the repression of anti-government protests in 2018. Ortega has since cracked down on dissent. More than 200 political prisoners were freed last year and expelled to the United States, including five jailed former presidential hopefuls. Government critics warned the legislation pins Nicaragua’s financial system “up against the wall” as banks would be obliged to ignore foreign sanctions and reactivate accounts and transactions for those sanctioned. The vote comes days after Nicaragua’s parliament approved a constitutional reform that expands Ortega and Murillo’s influence, granting more power over the media, naming them co-presidents and increasing the presidential term to six years.

Alberta's government says it will invest up to $50 million to support the creation of a first-in-Canada drilling test site to support technology development in the oil, gas, geothermal and lithium industries. The Alberta Drilling Accelerator is intended to be an open-access, industry-led site where companies can test drilling technologies at deep depths, high temperatures and varying rock types. The site would would allow companies to test and develop drilling techniques, accelerating the geothermal, helium, critical minerals, carbon capture and other industries relying on the drilling sector, the province said in a news release Monday. A location for the hub site has yet to be determined. "What we're doing here today is setting the stage for innovation," Premier Danielle Smith said in a statement. ""The Alberta Drilling Accelerator means big things for oil and gas exploration in our province, but also for industries that will be vital for achieving our goal of carbon neutrality by 2050." Alberta funding study for geothermal test site in the province How a Calgary geothermal company is making its mark across the Atlantic While no binding contracts have been signed, the province says several companies have expressed strong interest in serving as anchor tenants, including Calgary-based geothermal company Eavor Technologies, Tourmaline Oil Corp. and international oilfield service supermajor Halliburton. The money the province is providing will come from the industry-funded Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) program, which Alberta's heavy emitters are required to pay into as part of the province's industrial carbon pricing system. The provincial government says the Alberta Drilling Accelerator could start drilling in 2026.

Less than two weeks after being sentenced to spend the rest of his life behind bars, Lawrence Hecker died of natural causes at 3 a.m. Thursday at the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center, according to Ken Pastorick, Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections communications director. Hecker had pleaded guilty to charges including first-degree rape and aggravated kidnapping shortly before jury selection for his long-delayed trial had been scheduled to begin earlier this month, with other victims prepared to testify against him. The survivor of the assault to which Hecker pleaded guilty had said that Hecker raped him after offering to instruct him in wrestling moves ahead of tryouts for a school team in the mid-1970s. “The only prayer I can come up with I hope he spends eternity in hell after God's judgment of him,” the survivor said in a written statement provided by his attorney, Richard Trahant. “Now after his death I feel vindicated and free,” he said. The Associated Press does not identify those who say they have been sexually assaulted. Hecker's trial had been delayed for months partly because of questions around his mental competency. Hecker had suffered from dementia, his lawyer Bobby Hjortsberg said. Hecker had been ordained as an archdiocesan priest in 1958 and remained in this position even after facing an undisputed complaint of child molestation in the late 1980s, according to court records . Hecker left the ministry in 2002. Hecker's conviction occurred amid a wave of sexual abuse allegations against the Catholic church in New Orleans, many resurfacing from decades ago. The fallout has left the Archdiocese of New Orleans embroiled in bankruptcy negotiations. ___ Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

On March 28, 2024, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) issued a new directive to banks on recapitalisation. Under the new directive commercial banks with international license are to raise their capital to N500 billion. Commercial banks with national license are to raise their capital to N200 billion. The new capital for commercial banks with regional license is N50 billion while merchant banks with national license will raise their capital to N50 billion. The new capital for national and regional non-interest banks is N20 billion and N10 billion, respectively. The apex bank has fixed March 31, 2026 as deadline for banks to attain the new capital base. CBN expects the banks to source funds for the new capital through rights issues, offers for subscription, mergers and acquisitions and change of license to meet the new requirement. The CBN’s new directive on banks’ capital is designed to reposition Nigerian banks for big ticket investments while at the same time positioning them to compete favourably with international and pan-African banks particularly in the area of trade financing. While the banks are still battling to meet the new directive on recapitalisation and the CBN warming up to whip the banks into line, the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX) is already reaping the proceeds of the recapitalisation directive from the CBN. From all indications the NGX may be the first beneficiary of the recapitalisation directive on banks from the apex bank. The first gain of the recapitalisation directive came by way of massive boost to the NGX capitalisation. Four banks with international licenses have raised a total of N1.2 trillion from the NGX in a desperate bid to meet the CBN new directive on recapitalisation. The banks are Fidelity Bank, Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB), First City Monument Bank (FCMB), and Access Bank. The four banks have consequently raised the NGX capitalisation by a staggering N1.2 trillion. Many other banks are still sourcing for funds for the new capital base through offer for subscriptions and right issues in the NGX. Consequently, the CBN recapitalisation directive to banks could boost NGX capitalisation by N2 trillion. Another area through which the NGX is gaining from the recapitalisation directive of the CBN to banks is its strange penetration of the Nigerian youth segment. The Nigerian stock market had for decades been the exclusive preserve of retirees and other elderly people in the society. These were the only people who were buying shares. This group of shareholders developed the strange culture derisively tagged “buy and hold”. They hardly trade on their shares. In the days of hard copy share certificates, the elderly shareholders would laminate their share certificates and hang on the wall like an award. Ironically, the capital market presents a very fertile ground for business transactions. Those who understand the market buy shares when the prices are low and sell when they appreciate. The elderly shareholders are not aware of the huge gains that accrue from such timely buying and selling. The NGX attraction of young shareholders into the market through the banking recapitalisation exercise will change all that. The youth were lured into the market through a new device known as “NGX Invest”. The App is a digital platform designed to streamline public offerings and right issues in the market. NGX Invest targets the youth who are bored with the rigid paper work involved in traditional share purchasing. It allows them to buy their share on-line. That is how the NGX has been able to capture the youth who had for decades shunned the nation’s capital market. The new App which its innovation coincided with CBN recapitalisation directive to banks enhances transparency and accessibility in primary market transactions. That is what lured the youth to the banks shares. It has consequently boosted retail participation in the market. In an exciting response to the NGX new App, the director-general of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) noted: “Young people are beginning to embrace the market, we are excited about that”. Everyone is excited about the emergence of youths in the capital market. Market watchers contend that the trend will stimulate the market and confine the “buy-and-hold” mentality of elderly shareholders to the dustbin of history. NGX’s gains from the banking recapitalisation directive of the CBN are numerous. There are strong indications that it will boost domestic participation in the nation’s capital market. There has been a long standing contest between domestic and foreign portfolio investors in the NGX with foreign portfolio investors gaining the upper hand. The recent disorderly depreciation of the naira gave foreign portfolio investors the upper hand in the NGX as it cheapened share prices for them. is excited that the banking recapitalisation exercise will attract more domestic investors and at least reduce the widening gap between domestic and foreign investors holdings in the NGX.

UK's biggest lottery winners By Ethan Singh Anonymous winner - £195,707,000 A UK ticket-holder scooped the record EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million on July 19 2022 – the biggest National Lottery win of all time. The holder, who remains anonymous to this day, amassed the fortune with just one lucky ticket. Joe and Jess Thwaite - £184,262,899.10 Britain's previous EuroMillions record holders were Joe and Jess Thwaite. The couple won a record-breaking £184million jackpot in May 2022 and shared hopes of a Hawaiian holiday and a new horse box for their children's ponies. Joe bought his winning ticket online on May 10, 2022, and the following morning received an email with good news. As he learnt of the huge win, he was in disbelief and initially kept it for himself as he did not want to disturb his wife, who was sleeping. Joe, a communications sales engineer, and Jess, who runs a hairdressing salon with her sister, have been married for 11 years and have two children. Colin and Chris Weir, £161,653,000 Colin and Christine Weir landed the colossal prize money in 2011 and were Europe’s second-biggest winners until someone in Italy won a jackpot worth £193m in 2019. They splashed the cash at an astounding rate of £100,000 a week before tragedy struck. But at the time of Colin’s death in December 2019 his share of the prize money had dwindled by around £40m . He spent the millions living a life of luxury, forking out for sports cars, property and the football club he supported. Colin and Christine divorced shortly before his death after being married for 38 years. He left money for their children Carly and Jamie. Adrian and Gillian Brayford - £148,600,000 Adrian and Gillian won 190 million euros in a EuroMillions draw in August 2012, which came to just over £148 million. But Adrian split from Gillian the following year because of the stress of the win. The couple bought a Grade II listed estate in Cambridgeshire, complete with cinema and billiards room, but it was sold in 2021. After divorcing in 2013, he failed to woo ex-sausage factory worker Marta Jarosz — but fell for stable girl Sam Burbidge. She left him in 2017, taking 30 prize horses Adrian bought. It might have worked out in the end for Adrian though as the former postman was seen smiling with ambulance worker Tracey Biles last year. Frances and Patrick Connolly - £114,969,775 Former social worker and teacher Frances set up two charitable foundations after she and her husband hit the jackpot. They scooped almost £115 million on New Year’s Day 2019. She estimates that she has already given away £60 million to charitable causes, as well as friends and family. Richard and Debbie Nuttall - £61,000,000 The couple from Colne, Lancashire, took home £61 million on January 30 2024. Both 54, they were enjoying a holiday in Fuerteventura, celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. But they then discovered the big EuroMillions win. Richard revealed they originally thought they had won £2.60, but then received another email telling the pair to check their account. Other eye-watering anonymous winners: 2019 - £123million Another anonymous winner scooped up a prize of £123,458,008 in the June Superdraw rollover. 2021 - £122million Following nine rollovers, one ticketholder bagged the £122,550,350 jackpot last April. The successful participant chose to remain anonymous. 2018 - £121million Another anonymous winner found their fortune during the Superdraw jackpot rollover in April 2018, securing £121,328,187. 1 A UK TICKET-HOLDER has won £177 million in the EuroMillions draw Credit: AFPPlex is Getting a UI Overhaul
