 Real Madrid comfortably defeated Girona 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu, with a stunning goal from Luka Modric and a strike from Vinicius to seal the win. The first 15 minutes were end-to-end, with the duo of Vinicius and Mbappe increasingly in sync. Kylian had the clearest chance with a run in which he shot from the edge of the area, but Gazzaniga saved it. Almost in the 30th minute, Mbappe put a measured cross on the head of Vini, but the Brazilian shot over the crossbar, while Girona knocked on the door for the second time with a shot from Viktor Tsyhankov Los Blancos dominated the match, but were unable to reflect this on the scoreboard until Luka Modric appeared with a piece of magic, in which he controlled the ball with his chest and from outside the area launched a rocket that sought the top corner, out of the reach of Gazzaniga, to score a great goal before going to the break and score again at the Bernabeu after 364 days. Vinicius breaks the drought In the second half, in c...

  North Korea has issued a threat to the U.S., saying it will "counter the enemies' strategic threat with our strategic means." The threat was made in a press statement issued by the chief of the Information Office at the DPRK Ministry of National Defense on Friday. Newsweek has contacted the U.S. Department of Defense, via email, for comment. Why It Matters Pyongyang has long cited defense cooperation between the U.S. and South Korea, including joint exercises, as a destabilizing force that justifies its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Washington and Seoul have formed an alliance under a mutual defense treaty and 28,500 U.S. military personnel are stationed in South Korea to deter aggression from North Korea. The allies have frequently conducted combined military exercises. What To Know North Korea said "the U.S. and its vassal forces are getting evermore pronounced in their military provocations," citing the presence of a B-1B strategic bomber over th...

 Amid tensions between the United States and Ukraine, EU diplomats in the office of Vice-President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas have proposed a new large support package. However, France and Germany have expressed skepticism about it, Spiegel reports. According to the media outlet, the initial figure of the aid package was $7 billion, but now it has reached $20 billion. The package should consist of three elements: ・about 1.5 million rounds of ammunition ・assistance to air defense systems; ・opportunities for the rehabilitation of Ukrainian soldiers and further training of Ukrainian brigades. But there is resistance to this assistance. In particular, from Hungary and Slovakia. At the same time, diplomatic circles argue that the resistance of these countries plays a minor role. The package could have been passed by a coalition of the willing, even without the participation of the small states that oppose it. However, according to Spiegel, in addition to the two usual EU ou...

 A recent White House court filing says Elon Musk lacks any "actual or formal authority." Musk isn't technically DOGE's leader, and his job title is "unlisted," as BI previously reported. A recent email sent to the newly rebranded DOGE agency didn't identify the leader. Elon Musk is often called the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency. But a recent White House court filing said the assumed leader of DOGE had "no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself." "In his role as Senior Advisor to the President, Mr. Musk has no greater authority than other senior White House advisors," Joshua Fisher, the director of the Office of Administration, wrote in the filing. "Like other senior White House advisors, Mr. Musk has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself." Fisher wrote that Musk's position was akin to the senior advisor Anita Dunn's role in President Joe Bide...

 Football pundit Troy Deeney says Bayern Munich ’s players ‘looked embarrassed’ after their 1-1 Champions League draw against Celtic. Bayern required a dramatic 94th-minute equaliser from Alphonso Davies at home to reach the last 16 on Tuesday, having won the play-off first leg 2-1 to secure a 3-2 victory on aggregate. It was Celtic who took the lead in the second-leg clash at the Allianz Arena with Nicolas-Gerrit Kühn firing the Scottish champions ahead in Germany. But Celtic’s Champions League elimination was confirmed by Davies’ late goal, following an impressive performance from Brendan Rodgers’ side. With the Bundesliga giants only progressing through the skin of their teeth in a cruel result for Celtic, Deeney, watching the match for talkSPORT, said: ‘Looking down at the Bayern Munich players, they look embarrassed. ‘They are standing in front of their fans and they obviously do a little jump and a celebration with their fanbase, they look embarrassed to even be there at this...

 Canada 's Minister of International Development, Ahmed Hussen, expressed his country's willingness to help Indonesia develop nuclear energy as an alternative resource to deal with climate change. "Canada has extensive experience and expertise related to nuclear resources, and we want to share it with Indonesia," he said during a special interview in Jakarta on Friday. According to Hussen, his party acknowledges Indonesia's efforts to use nuclear power as an alternative to meet the increasing national energy demand while maintaining emission levels amid climate change. Since the development of nuclear resources in Indonesia is still in its early stages, Canada is ready to assist it in developing a nuclear energy ecosystem, regulations, and funding, he said. Meanwhile, cooperation in the nuclear technology aspect can be carried out at a later stage, he added. "We must understand that besides technology, there are funding, technical, and other aspects to be pre...

 The rise in the price of chocolates around Valentine’s Day is not just another newsworthy trend, but evidence of how the climate crisis is starting to impact seemingly everyday items. The ordinary chocolate bar that is usually shared with love is now forcing us to look deeper into the problem of how a warming planet and increasing weather unpredictability have shaken the global cocoa supply chain. Cocoa is a sensitive crop that requires ideal growing conditions. The area it is planted must be sufficiently moist and warm, but not excessively so. When temperatures rise slightly above certain limits or when rainfall becomes erratic, cocoa production can dramatically drop. A recent report from the international charity Christian Aid, entitled Cocoa Crisis: How Chocolate is Feeling the Bite of Climate Change, states that climate change has severely affected cocoa production in Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two largest cocoa producers in the world. Ghana and Ivory Coast account for over 6...

 The second ODI between India and England faced a floodlight failure in Cuttack, prompting Pakistani fans to mock Indian social media users who had previously criticised Gaddafi Stadium's lighting. During the ODI, India was chasing a target of 305 runs and had scored 48 without loss in 6.1 overs when one of the floodlight towers malfunctioned.
