Alejandro Garnacho
The young Argentine winger is all about taking risks. He’s got plenty of flair, quick feet, and isn’t afraid to take on defenders one-on-one. Garnacho’s high-octane style of play embodies that "YOLO" mentality, going for it no matter the opposition or the moment.

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
