Legal Ruling: FIFA and UEFA Found in Violation of EU Competition Law! 🚨
The European Court of Justice has declared that both FIFA and UEFA violated European Union competition law by blocking plans for the breakaway Super League. The court ruled that the rules requiring prior approval from these football governing bodies for new interclub projects, such as the Super League, are unlawful.

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from the US presidential race due to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. This historic decision, subject to appeal, makes Trump the first candidate ineligible for the White House under a constitutional provision barring officials engaged in "insurrection or rebellion."

The lawsuit, based on the 14th Amendment, is viewed as a test case for broader
efforts to disqualify Trump from state ballots. The court concluded Trump's

At least 38 people are dead after a fire broke out on Monday at a chemical factory in central China, according to state media, which also reported two people suffered injuries. The fire started at a factory in the Wenfeng district or "high-tech zone" of Anyang City, in the central Henan Province. It took firefighters four hours to put the fire out, news agency Xinhua reported. No details have yet been given on the cause of the fire or how so many employees were killed. Online listings for Kaixinda said it was a wholesaler dealing in a wide range of industrial goods including what was described as specialised chemicals Broadcaster CCTV reported: “After receiving the alarm, the municipal fire rescue detachment immediately dispatched forces to the scene. “Public security, emergency response, municipal administration, and power supply units rushed to the scene at the same time to carry out emergency handling and rescue work,” it said. Authorities said “criminal suspects” had been taken into custody in connection with the fire, but did not provide further details. Industrial accidents are common in China due to weak safety standards and corruption among officials tasked with enforcing them. In June, one person was killed and another injured in an explosion at a chemical plant in Shanghai. The fire at a Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Co plant in the outlying Jinshan district sent thick clouds of smoke over a vast industrial zone as three fires blazed in separate locations. Last year, a gas blast killed 25 people and reduced several buildings to rubble in the central city of Shiyan. In March 2019, an explosion at a chemical factory in Yancheng, located 260km (161 miles) from Shanghai, killed 78 people and devastated homes in a several-kilometre radius. Four years prior, a giant explosion in northern Tianjin at a chemical warehouse killed 165 people, one of China’s worst-ever industrial accidents.
