When comparing Manchester United and Arsenal, we're looking at two of the most iconic football clubs in English football history. Both have rich traditions, passionate fanbases, and have been successful in different eras. Here are some key points of comparison:
1. Historical Success
-Manchester United: One of the most successful clubs in English football, with a global following. They have won 20 English top-flight league titles (most in England), 12 FA Cups, and 3 UEFA Champions League titles.
-Arsenal: Arsenal has also been highly successful, with 13 league titles (including a famous unbeaten season in 2003-04), 14 FA Cups (most by any club), and a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

2. Era of Dominance
-Manchester United: Their golden era came under Sir Alex Ferguson, particularly from the 1990s to early 2010s, when they dominated the Premier League. Their success in Europe also added to their stature, with multiple Champions League titles.
-Arsenal: Arsenal's peak was in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with Arsène Wenger’s innovative tactics leading them to several league titles and FA Cups. The 2003-04 "Invincibles" season, where Arsenal went unbeaten in the league, remains one of the most iconic achievements in Premier League history.

3. Playing Style
-Manchester United: Under Ferguson, United were known for their attacking football, quick counter-attacks, and strong mentality. They often relied on big-name players like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
-Arsenal: Under Wenger, Arsenal were known for their elegant, possession-based football, focusing on intricate passing and movement. Players like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, and Patrick Vieira became synonymous with the club’s style.

4. Current Status
-Manchester United: Since Ferguson's departure in 2013, United has experienced inconsistency, with several managerial changes and struggles to regain their former dominance. However, they remain a top club in the Premier League and still have significant resources and talent.
-Arsenal: Similarly, Arsenal has gone through a rebuilding phase since Wenger's departure in 2018. They have shown signs of improvement under Mikel Arteta, especially with their young core of players. Arsenal is currently competitive in both domestic and European competitions.

5. Fanbase and Culture
-Manchester United: Known for their global fanbase, Manchester United is a worldwide brand with millions of supporters. Their success in the 1990s and 2000s helped them build a massive following.
-Arsenal: Arsenal has a passionate fanbase, particularly in London, and has a reputation for developing top talent through their academy. The club’s culture is deeply connected to their emphasis on attacking football and youth development.

6. Rivalries
-Manchester United: Their biggest rival is Manchester City, particularly in recent years as City has risen to prominence. They also share a historic rivalry with Liverpool, with both clubs battling for supremacy in English football.
-Arsenal: Arsenal’s fiercest rivalry is with Tottenham Hotspur, known as the North London Derby. They also have a competitive relationship with Manchester United, especially during the early 2000s when both teams were at their peak.

7. Finances and Commercial Influence
-Manchester United: As one of the richest clubs in the world, Manchester United has immense financial power, a huge commercial empire, and sponsorship deals that give them a strong position in the global football market.
-Arsenal: Arsenal is also a wealthy club, though not as financially dominant as United. However, their stadium (Emirates) has been a significant financial asset, and the club has maintained strong commercial partnerships.

Conclusion:
-Manchester United has historically been more dominant, particularly during the Ferguson era. They are considered one of the most successful clubs in world football.
-Arsenal, while also highly successful, particularly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, has had a more challenging time in recent years but still remains a top club with a promising future under Arteta.
Ultimately, both clubs are pillars of English football, with rich histories, passionate fanbases, and ambitions to reclaim past glories.

News Gathering.
Several factors can hinder effective news gathering. These can vary depending on the environment, resources, and challenges faced by journalists and news organizations. Some of the key factors include:
1.Limited Access to Information
Government Censorship: IN some countries, government restrictions and censorship can prevent journalists from accessing certain information, limiting their ability to gather news.
Corporate or Institutional Control: Media outlets may face pressure from powerful corporations or institutions that influence the flow of information.
Secrecy and Lack of Transparency: Governments, businesses, or organizations may withhold important information or provide misleading data, making it difficult for journalists to uncover the truth.

2.Technological Barriers
Inadequate Equipment: Journalists working in areas with limited resources may lack the proper tools to gather, record, or broadcast news effectively.
Internet Access: In regions with limited or unreliable internet, access to important sources or real-time information may be restricted.
Cybersecurity Risks: Journalists might face cyberattacks or surveillance, especially when reporting on sensitive topics like corruption or human rights abuses.

3.Safety and Security Concerns
Dangerous Reporting Environments: In conflict zones or politically unstable regions, journalists may face physical threats, harassment, or violence, which could deter them from gathering news.
Threats of Imprisonment or Legal Repercussions: IN some countries, journalists may face legal action, imprisonment, or fines for reporting on certain topics.

4. Financial Constraints
Lack of Resources: Limited funding for news organizations can prevent journalists from traveling, hiring experts, or investing in in-depth research.
Job Insecurity and Understaffing: Journalists may be overworked or under pressure to cover multiple stories quickly, resulting in lower-quality reporting.

5.Bias and Conflicts of Interest
Corporate or Political Influence: News organizations may be influenced by political affiliations or financial interests, which can affect how news is gathered, reported, or presented.
Sensationalism: The focus on high-impact, attention-grabbing stories rather than thorough, balanced coverage may skew the news gathering process.

6. Ethical Dilemmas
Conflict of Interest: Journalists may face ethical dilemmas when they are too close to a story or when they have personal or professional relationships with sources.
Privacy Concerns: Balancing the public’s right to know with individuals' right to privacy can be challenging when gathering news, particularly in sensitive stories.

7.Cultural and Social Barriers
Language Barriers: Journalists working in multilingual or diverse regions may face challenges in understanding and gathering news from different communities.
Cultural Sensitivity: Certain cultural practices, taboos, or social norms may limit access to specific groups or topics, making news gathering more complex.

8. Misinformation and Disinformation
Fake News and Propaganda: The spread of false information can make it harder for journalists to discern credible sources and gather accurate news.
Social Media and Echo Chambers: While social media offers easy access to information, it also presents challenges in verifying facts and sources, often leading to misinformation or polarized narratives.

These factors can significantly affect the quality and reliability of news, making it more difficult for journalists to report accurately and fairly.

Manchester United secured a 3-1 victory over Southampton at Old Trafford on January 16, 2025, thanks to a late hat-trick from Amad Diallo.

The match began with United struggling to find their rhythm, and Southampton took the lead just before halftime due to an own goal by Manuel Ugarte.

In the 82nd minute, Diallo equalized, and he added two more goals in the 90th minute and stoppage time, completing his hat-trick and securing the win for United.

At 22 years and 189 days old, Diallo became the second-youngest player to score a Premier League hat-trick for Manchester United, following Wayne Rooney.

Despite the victory, manager Ruben Amorim expressed concerns about the team's performance, particularly highlighting issues with defensive transitions and a lack of speed.

He also emphasized the importance of managing young talents like Diallo carefully, to avoid placing undue pressure on them.

Update: Shanghai Port sees annual container throughput exceed 50 million TEUs

SHANGHAI, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Shanghai Port became the first in the world to see the annual container throughput exceed 50 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) on Sunday.

The port has ranked first globally for 14 consecutive years in terms of annual container throughput.

According to Yang Yanbin, deputy general manager of the production and business department of the Shanghai International Port (Group) Co., Ltd (SIPG), the growth of container throughput indicates that China's complete industrial system and manufacturing capability continue to empower global trade.

Seen as a window of China's opening up and collaboration with the world as well as an engine boosting trade and exchanges, Shanghai Port saw its annual container throughput top 1 million in 1994.

Yang noted that the growth in container throughput at Shanghai Port was driven not only by the rise in export-heavy containers but also by an increase in international transfer containers and ship-to-ship transfer volumes.

"The port's robust functionality and high-quality services attract large cargo ships from around the world," he said, adding that the proportion of ship-to-ship transfers at the port is expected to reach a record 60 percent in 2024, which highlights the continued enhancement of Shanghai Port's role as a global hub.

At present, the Shanghai Port boasts nearly 350 international ship routes reaching more than 700 ports in over 200 countries and regions around the world.

The development of Shanghai Port reflects the broader transformation of Shanghai as a whole.

The eastern Chinese metropolis has once again secured third place in the 2024 Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Center Development Index Report, demonstrating that its status as an international shipping center of great significance has been continuously consolidated.

According to Shanghai Customs, the daily import and export value of goods handled by Shanghai Port averages 29.8 billion yuan (about 4 billion U.S. dollars), about 1.24 billion yuan per hour.

In recent years the application of science and technology has greatly improved the efficiency of terminal operations.

In 2017, the Yangshan phase IV automated terminal became operational, helping Shanghai Port surpass the 40 million TEU container throughput milestone that year. With a 70 percent reduction in workforce, the terminal's overall efficiency increased by 30 percent, while per capita labor productivity reached 213 percent of that at a traditional terminal.

"The ITOS intelligent control system is China's first successful effort to break the foreign monopoly on port software technology," said Huang Heng, general manager of the Nezha Intelligent Technology Company with SIPG, noting that these smart ports not only play a key role in advancing China's shipping industry but also draw interest from foreign ports looking to collaborate.

The Chancay port in Peru is a prime example, where Chinese technologies have helped establish South America's first intelligent port and create a new land-sea transport corridor between Latin America and Asia.

Shanghai Port is also actively pursuing a green transformation. Since last year, it has signed agreements with the ports of Los Angeles and Hamburg to jointly develop green shipping corridors. In April, the Shanghai Port successfully completed its first ship-to-ship synchronous green methanol fueling operation for large container ships.

Luo Wenbin, general manager of SIPG energy, noted that the next step would be to transform Shanghai Port into a "green energy fueling center."

"By 2030, we aim to achieve the 'double 100' goal, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling capacity reaching one million cubic meters and green methanol and biofuels fueling capacity reaching one million tonnes," he said.

Liverpool hits six in Spurs goal fest in Premier League

LONDON, ENGLAND | Xinhua | Liverpool extended its lead at the top of the Premier League on Sunday after a thrilling 6-3 win away to Tottenham at the Tottenham Stadium.

Tottenham’s erratic defensive displays always promised to make an entertaining match, and it proved with Luis Diaz nodding Liverpool ahead after 23 minutes, with Alexis Mac Allister doubling the lead in the 36th minute.

A poor pass out of defense from goalkeeper Alisson Becker gave James Maddison the chance to get Spurs back into the match, but Mohamed Salah set up Dominik Szoboszlai to make it 3-1 in injury time before scoring two goals himself after the break to apparently seal the game.

Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke gave Tottenham brief hope with goals after 72 and 83 minutes, but Diaz’s second goal of the match made an incredible game 6-3.

Everton produced a cohesive display that held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park.

Chelsea was the better side in the first half and Nicolas Jackson should have put at least one of two good chances away, but Everton improved after the break, when Robert Sanchez was the busier goalkeeper, doing well to deny Jack Harrison and Orel Mangala.

Bournemouth won 3-0 at Old Trafford for the second year in succession, almost a year after it humiliated Manchester United in its home ground by the same score.

Dean Huijsen headed in from Ryan Christie’s cross just before the half hour before two goals in three second-half minutes assured the win – Justin Kluivert scored a 61st-minute penalty to make it 2-0, before Antoine Semenyo assured the win.

Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa made a series of saves, but a United attack still without Marcus Rashford lacked bite in the final third of the pitch.

Newly appointed Southampton coach Ivan Juric was in the stands to watch his new team produce a pragmatic defensive display to frustrate Fulham and take a 0-0 draw from Craven Cottage.

The bottom side focused on keeping a clean sheet and looked to avoid the expansive play from the back that has cost it a lot of goals this season.

Vitor Pereira had an instant impact after being named as replacement to Gary O’Neil at Wolverhampton as he debuted with a 3-0 win in a ‘six-pointer’ away to Leicester City.

Wolves were clinical in attack, with Goncalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes and Matheus Cunha putting it 3-0 up by the break as Leicester made a series of defensive errors.

Uganda| AfricaWorld News Uganda|IND| An assessment by the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) reveals that this year’s Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) had several malpractices, with the majority of cases involving collusion involving headteachers, examination scouts, and invigilators.

The UNEB report outlines several significant cases of cheating uncovered at top schools across various regions of the country. For example, at St. Mugagga in Nkozi, Mpigi District, a teacher was caught writing answers on the blackboard while invigilators were looking on.

At this, school, seven individuals, including the UNEB scout, the school headteacher, and five invigilators were arrested and are awaiting their day before court.

In another case at Kisoso Parents School, one of the leading schools in Masaka City, two teachers—who are not permitted in the examination room—were found assisting candidates. A subsequent investigation revealed that the teachers had stored exam-related materials on their phones, indicating they had prior knowledge of the exam content.

“The teachers were offering external assistance based on the contents of the telephone,” UNEB said in a statement.

UNEB also reported the arrest of an invigilator at Green Hill Primary School in Buwate, who was caught possessing an electronic device in the exam room, which was suspected to be used for aiding malpractice.

In Kuyunga District, UNEB with the help of the district internal security officer uncovered another cheating ring at Lion Judah Elementary School, where teachers were caught preparing answers for the mathematics paper as minutes after the learners had started the examination.. more loading
