Berlin, Aug 8 (AFP) Norway’s defending European champion Filip Ingebrigtsen, along with brothers Henrik and Jakob, moved smoothly into the final of the men’s 1500m after successfully negotiating their heats at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium today. The 25-year-old Filip, the sixth fastest European of all time over 1500m who also won world bronze in London last year, clocked 3min 40.88sec in finishing third in his heat behind Poland’s Marcin Lewandowski and Briton Charlie Grice to progress to Friday’s 12-man final. Henrik, the eldest of the trio at 27, won bronze behind Filip in Amsterdam having previously won the European crown in Helsinki in 2012 and a silver in 2014. He also progressed after coming in third (3:49.54) in his heat won by Britain’s Chris O’Hare. Jakob, who will be 18 next month, might be the one to watch out for, however, posting 3:40.81 in winning the third and final heat. The teenager, coached like his siblings by father Gjert, has a fledgling career based on a solid all-rounder’s grounding in cross-country, steeplechase and 5000m, as well as over 1500m and the mile. “Of course I’m satisfied to get into the final,” he said. “It’s all about training. We’ve been working really, really hard. I’m really excited.” In May this year, Jakob ran a 3:52.28 mile, which included an incredible final lap of 55.42sec, showing how dangerous he could be should family tactics come to the fore come Friday. “If anyone wants to join the Ingebritsen party, please do so!” said a buoyant Henrik, sporting a mohawk and bushy moustache.advertisement “I’m a championship runner and I haven’t done a fast time this year, so I am confident.” Filip admitted that “Henrik has more experience” as temperatures in Berlin soared above 34 degrees Centigrade (93F). And Jakob discounted family tactics, saying: “Initially we were thinking about racing tactics together, but Filip will go for himself, so we decided that we all will do the same.” – Howe’s reincarnation -======================== Italy’s US-born one-time long jumper Andrew Howe admitted he was looking for an unlikely reincarnation over 200m, 11 years on from his last major championships podium. “After I tore my achilles tendon in 2011, I couldn’t continue with the long jump,” Howe said. “I lacked that reactivity, so my coach suggested I switch to the 200m and it was a really good idea.” Howe, who won the 2006 European long jump title and world silver in Osaka a year later, clocked 20.60sec in his heat to advance to semi-finals later Wednesday. In pole for the 200m will be Azeri-born Turk Ramil Guliyev, the reigning world champion who was pushed back into silver in Amsterdam by Spain’s Bruno Hortelano. The Spaniard, born in Australia to Spanish parents who then relocated to Canada, insisted he was focused initially on the 200m. “I feel stronger than ever,” said the 26-year-old, who missed all last season after a catastrophic car accident in Madrid, in which he was a passenger, that left him at risk of a hand amputation. After consulting Spanish surgeon Xavier Mir, the go-to specialist for ranks of battered MotoGP riders, the amputation was avoided and the Cornell University genetics graduate made his return to the track. He has since set Spanish records for both the 200 and 400m (20.04, 44.69). “The 200m is my favoured distance and I have a lot less experience over 400m.” Wednesday’s evening session, with temperatures tipped to top 37C (99F), features four other medal events as well as the denouement of the decathlon. Women will compete in the 10,000m and shot put, while long jump and discus take centre stage for the men before the sapping 1500m finale of the decathlon. (AFP) ATKATK
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been sidelined with a hip problem, leaving the stuttering European champions without a total of seven players due to injury and suspension.Madrid said in a statement on Wednesday that the Belgian had a grade one injury in his left hip muscle, without stating for how long he would be ruled out.Spanish media reports said Courtois would be out for around 10 days, ruling him out of Sunday’s trip to Real Betis in La Liga as well as both Copa del Rey games against Leganes.The Belgian was expected to be on the bench for Wednesday’s first-leg match and the return leg on Jan. 16, with Keylor Navas playing instead.Courtois’s injury setback comes one day after Germany midfielder Toni Kroos was diagnosed with a thigh problem, ruling him out for between three to four weeks and meaning he will miss a crunch league game against high-flying Sevilla on Jan. 19.Real winger Lucas Vazquez is suspended for Sunday’s visit to Real Betis after being sent off in last week’s 2-0 defeat to Real Sociedad, which left Santiago Solari’s side fifth in La Liga and 10 points behind leaders Barcelona.Record signing Gareth Bale is currently sidelined with a groin strain and is not due back until the end of the month, while fellow forwards Marco Asensio, Mariano Diaz as well as midfield anchor Marcos Llorente are also unavailable due to injury.Also Read | AFC Asian Cup 2019: After dream start vs Thailand, India brace for tougher test against UAEAlso Read | Bayern Munich rope in France defender Benjamin Pavard from VfB StuttgartAlso Read | Mohamed Salah voted African Footballer of the Year for second successive yearadvertisement

It’s gone pretty hostile now and I don’t think anybody wants to see that.”The visitors carved out the only chance of a drab first half when Oliver Norwood found Gary Madine at the back post, only for Keiren Westwood to make a smart save.Madine appealed for a penalty after tangling with Michael Hector at a corner after 15 minutes but both teams lacked quality. “I didn’t think either side deserved to win it,” said Wilder.Steve Bruce brought on George Boyd at half-time and it almost worked immediately as Steven Fletcher sent an overhead kick over the bar from his cross. Rolando Aarons almost put the hosts ahead on the hour when he beat his man and struck a fierce left-foot effort that Dean Henderson parried.Wednesday should have led when Aarons’ brilliant cross was met by Sam Hutchinson eight yards out but the midfielder shot straight at Henderson.Bruce said he did not see the incident involving O’Connell. “On the whole the two bunches of supporters were excellent,” he added. “[Derby games] are great to watch.” 19 Stearman Share on Twitter (s 79′) 27 Iorfa 21 Duffy Share on WhatsApp 11 Hogan Reuse this content

zoom After an investigation of ballast water discharge violations, the US Coast Guard initiated civil penalty proceedings against Vega Reederei GmbH & Co. KG, the operator of the bulk carrier Vega Mars on February 2.While the vessel was moored in Tacoma around January 29, 2017, it discharged ballast water without the use of a Coast Guard approved ballast water management system or other approved means, according to the investigators. Such action is in violation with the National Invasive Species Act, with a maximum penalty of USD 38,175.Initial violations were found by Port State Control examiners while they were aboard the 580-foot Liberian-flagged bulker to verify it met US laws, regulations and applicable international conventions.Vessels equipped with ballast water tanks that operate in the waters of the United States must employ an approved ballast water management method to prevent the unintentional introduction and spread of aquatic nuisance species, the USCG said.

(Moccasins on the shores of Bras d’Or in memory of sisters Judina Noel and Kate Michael and their husbands, Noel Marshall and Joseph Michael. The fifth pair is for Kate’s unborn child. Photo: APTN)Trina RoacheAPTN National NewsMi’kmaw elders held a quiet ceremony in the early morning drizzle Wednesday along the shore of the Bras d’Or Lake in Cape Breton to honour four people who went missing 80 years ago.“On March 30, 1936, they left here that morning,” said Joe Michael. “They went across to Big Pond. This is where the ceremony will begin. And in Big Pond, where they camped and fished for eels…Big Pond is where we’ll capture their spirits.”Judina Marshall and Kate Michael were sisters from the Mi’kmaw community of Eskasoni. They traveled across the Bras d’Or Lake by dory that day with their husbands – Noel Marshall and Joseph Michael – who took their eel spears.Mi’kmaq Elders hold a ceremony on the shores of Bras d’Or Lake. Photo: APTN The women had their baskets and crafts to sell or trade for goods.But they never returned.The Mi’kmaq spent over a month combing the waters and surrounding woods for clues but found nothing. Eight decades has passed but the community never let it go. The late Greg Johnson and Charlie Morris spent years searching for the truth.About three years ago, Joe Michael, a retired RCMP officer, and the grandson of Kate and Joseph, took over the investigation. He rounded up accounts of what happened.No one has ever found the bodies but Michael did find something else – someone who had seen the dory.Michael said he was told the bottom of the boat looked like it had been smashed with an axe, as if someone tried to sink it.“No doubt in my mind they met a tragic event,” said Michael. “Somebody did something over there. Can I say murdered them? No. I don’t want to say that because it’d be too, um, I don’t know. It’s probably not the word to use right now. They met a tragic end and that’s where their bodies are. Still over there.”The RCMP never investigated in 1936. In 1965, the chief of Eskasoni Charlie Francis asked police to re-open the case, but police declined.“There was nothing, not back then,” said Elder Georgina Doucette. “Things were different in Cape Breton. I guess there was so much racism that when anything like that happened to our people it didn’t get investigated. It was hardly mentioned in the paper, just a small paragraph and that was it.”She said Wednesday’s ceremony was also about moving past the frustration to forgiveness.Georgina’s son Michael Doucette sang and drummed He smudged those gathered along the shore.“I’m sure over there they feel anxiety that we’re re-opening this,” Doucette told everyone. “We’re not outright accusing them. But in our hearts we know what happened to our people.”The day is about closure – for the Mi’kmaw community who has wondered for decades what happened and the many descendants. The two couples left behind a total of 14 children. Kate Michael was eight-months pregnant at the time she went missing.“I feel good bringing the spirits home to Eskasoni,” said Georgina Doucette. “I think we’re all very happy that this memorial, this ceremony took place. Something had to be done. You can’t go on thinking they’re there, somewhere across the pond.“In my heart, I do believe something tragic happened to my aunts and my uncles. And the unborn child.”A caravan of cars drove around the Bras d’Or Lake to hold the next part of the ceremony at Big Pond. It’s known that the two couples arrived here and had tea with friends around 11 in the morning Joe Michael has pieced together some details. He’s convinced they met a violent end that involved a confrontation between the men and one or more people in Big Pond.“The women, my grandmother and her sister, they were probably standing by watching what was going on and became victims,” said Michael. “The wrong place at the wrong time.”Michael won’t divulge all he knows. He said it’s enough that he and the family members know the truth.Georgina agreed. The two sisters, Judina and Kate, were her aunts.“We never had any answers just speculation and hearsay,” she said, adding that no one ever believed the theory that the four people drowned. “We don’t want to go out there making accusation or having people put words into our mouths or add on to the story. They’ve been there 80 years and I would like them to just continue their journey so we can all have peace.”Michael placed moccasins along the water’s edge. People reach down and lay their hands on the pebbled beach. Somewhere on this shore are the bones of their ancestors. Elder Susan Marshall led prayers and tobacco offerings.“We’re here today to release the spirits of our ancestors who went missing 80 years ago,” said Chief Leroy Denny as he addressed the crowd, much of it spoken in Mi’kmaq.More prayers. A final Mi’kmaq Honour song.The group headed to the church in Eskasoni, where over 100 people were waiting. Mi’kmaq cultural traditions and Catholicism were intertwined. They brought in five crosses for the four men and women and the unborn child who died.A gentle version of Amazing Grace is sung in Mi’kmaq.At the end of the service, Michael stood up and gave everyone his account of what he believed happened. Most likely, they were killed. And nothing was ever done about it.“We’re not here to press charges or prosecute anybody,” he said. “1936 is gone. Today is about forgiveness.”The community is fundraising now to put up a memorial which will tell the truth about what happened to Judina and Noel Marshall and Kate and Joseph Michael.“It will make a difference in our stories now and we can tell our children,” said Georgina Doucette. “No more speculation. We know what happened.”troache@aptn.ca

Secretary, Railway Board, Ranjanesh Sahai; Director and General Manager of Madame Tussauds, Anshul Jain; senior officials of Ministry of Railways and other dignitaries were also present on the occasion.In addition, there will be a special provision for school groups. School children will be able to enjoy both museums at a 45% discount. This will help in promoting railway heritage and also enable children to learn about national heroes, thereby making the student excursion more inclusive, holistic and interesting.Delhi has many popular museums but most of them require individual ticketing. The broader vision of this collaboration is to spread the concept of a discounted single ticket for accessing more museums, even spanning over 3-4 days. This will not only be convenient to tourists, but it will also promote the tourism industry. A similar facility is already available in major tourist cities across the world.
