Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:39:52 GMT

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — The most prolific scorer in international soccer begins play in her sixth Women’s World Cup when Christine Sinclair leads Canada against Nigeria in a Friday match played in Melbourne. It will likely be a last World Cup for Sinclair, who gets the same anxiousness at age 40 as she did when she made her global debut 20 years ago. “It’s the same as my first World Cup. I still get those nerves, those butterflies of excitement as I did back in 2003 in my first one,” Sinclair said. “This is why you play, this is why you spend all those hours and days training while no one else is. Can’t wait to represent Canada.”The Canada captain is undeniably her nation’s biggest soccer star, having won a pair of Olympic bronze medals before finally winning a gold at the Tokyo Games. What has eluded her is soccer’s preeminent trophy, and Canada has appeared in every World Cup since missing the inaugural tournament in 1991. Canada and Nigeria are in Group B, which ...

NEW DELHI (AP) — Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke more than two months of public silence over deadly ethnic clashes in India’s northeast, saying Thursday that the assaults of two women as they were being paraded naked by a mob in Manipur state were unforgivable.A video showing the assaults triggered massive outrage and went viral late Wednesday despite the internet being largely blocked and journalists being locked out in the remote state. It shows two naked women being surrounded by scores of young men who grope their genitals and drag them to a field.“The guilty will not be spared. What has happened to the daughters of Manipur can never be forgiven,” Modi told reporters ahead of a parliamentary session in his first public comments related to the Manipur conflict.The violence depicted in the video was emblematic of the near-civil war in Manipur that has left more than 130 people dead since May, as mobs rampage through villages killing people and torching houses.
