1 hour ago Article on Jackie Robinson’s military career restored to defense department website

Baseball legend served in US Army in second world warSimilar moves have been made in attack on DEIAn article detailing Jackie Robinson’s military career has been restored to the Department of Defense’s website amid a purge of material considered to be related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).Robinson, who Donald Trump last month described as helping “drive our country forward to greatness”, is widely considered a national hero in the US. He broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947 when he suited up for the Brooklyn Dodgers; he went on to be elected to his sport’s Hall of Fame. Robinson also served in the US Army during the second world war.

2 h. ago Golden era of French coaching is over, so who will replace Deschamps?

Forget the days of Wenger and Houllier – there is a worrying lack of French coaches in Europe’s elite leagues these daysWhere have all the coaches gone? French sports media address the theme on a regular basis and with good reason: the country’s football managers are no longer wanted abroad. The days when Arsène Wenger and Gérard Houllier opened the door for Jean Tigana, Rémi Garde, Claude Puel and others to coach in England are long gone. In the 2000s and 2010s, French managers could also find work in La Liga and Serie A, as Philippe Montanier did at Real Sociedad and Rudi Garcia at Roma and Napoli – leaving aside Zinedine Zidane and Didier Deschamps, who could not be really considered expatriates at Real Madrid and Juventus.This is no longer the case and takes particular significance now that Deschamps, whose France side face Croatia in a Nations League quarter-final on Thursday and Sunday, has entered the final straight of his 14-year association with Les Bleus and confirmed he w...

3 h. ago The Guardian view on Germany’s new coalition: unleashing the radical centre | Editorial

A groundbreaking vote by outgoing MPs has given the chancellor-elect, Friedrich Merz, the chance to renew mainstream politicsThe first “grand coalition” government in Germany’s postwar history was formed in 1966 to address an unexpected economic downturn, amid concerns over a nascent neo-Nazi far right. Nearly six decades later, as the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Social Democratic party (SPD) prepare to join forces across the right-left divide for the fifth time, following February’s snap election, the circumstances are superficially similar. The scale of the challenges, however – and the sense of jeopardy – are of a different order.As geopolitical events have undermined its trade‑led business model, the German economy has been undergoing the most prolonged period of stagnation since the second world war. Not unrelatedly, the extreme-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party – elements of which are judged a threat to the democratic constitutional order by security s...
