The economic evidence shows that they are having an impact on the Russian economy, and that is precisely what they intended to do. “Phasing out of Russian fossil fuels is something that we have been doing and are doing actively for a number already of years, since the beginning of the war, with a very clear roadmap, with now even a clear legislative proposal in order to phase out the remaining gas still entering the EU. This is something on which the EU has been very actively and we have a very, very clear roadm...

American players to receive stipend for participationFormer world No 6 said Europe have more ‘camaraderie’Patrick Reed believes it “unnecessary” that his fellow Americans will be paid for participation in the upcoming Ryder Cup. Reed, who has missed out on what would have been a fourth Ryder Cup appearance at Bethpage, also said Europe carry the advantage of having the more closely-knit team.US players plus their captain, Keegan Bradley, will be given $500,000 (£368,300) – $300,000 (£221,000) of which must be donated to charity – for taking on Luke Donald’s Europe. The remaining $200,000 (£147,320) has been labelled a stipend. The topic was largely lost in fevered discussion over whether or not Bradley would pick himself as a player but remains hugely significant. Europe’s contingent have always been adamant they will not seek monetary reward for Ryder Cup appearances. Continue reading...

Earlier in his career, doubters had been won over with trophies. When he moved on, fans from Australia to Japan to Scotland were sad to see him go.At Spurs it was more complex.
