Populists attack UN Global Compact on Refugees There are currently around 68 million displaced people worldwide, according to the United Nations. Most of those are internally displaced, still in their own country but driven from their homes. But some 25 million have fled across borders and entered neighboring countries, or to countries further afield. Nearly 70 years after the passing of the Geneva convention on refugees in 1951, these figures are at a record high. To combat this suffering, the UN Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) intends to bundle international efforts.

Ceasefire on Israel-Gaza border largely holds as UN warns sides are on ʼbrink of warʼ A ceasefire announced by Hamas largely held along the Israel-Gaza border on Sunday, a day after the most intense exchange of fire between Israel and the Palestinian group since the 2014 Gaza war. Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of airstrikes in the densely populated Gaza Strip on Saturday on what it said were Hamas military, training and supply targets, while Hamas and Islamic Jihad fired nearly 200 rockets and mortars at Israel.

tinian health officials said, while a Hamas rocket injured four Israelis. Hamas, which has ruled the Gaza Strip since 2007, and Islamic Jihad announced the Egyptian and UNbrokered ceasefire late Saturday. The Israeli military said its response would depend on the situation on the ground. After the ceasefire announcement, four mortars were fired into Israel early Sunday. In response, Israeli planes destroy at least one launch site. Israel also carried out three airstrikes later in the day on what it said were Hamas squads launching incendiary balloons and kites across the border.
Angelique Kerber on new coach Rainer Schüttler: ʼIt all starts with meʼ Angelique Kerber has spoken to reporters about the choice of Rainer Schüttler as her new coach, which came as a surprise to many. But there are reasons to think the partnership could turn out to be a good one. Germanyʼs No. 1 womenʼs tennis player told reporters at an event in Cologne that Rainer Schüttler had ticked all of the boxes, when she went looking for a new coach following her parting of ways with Wim Fissette. "It was particularly important that we speak the same language," theWimbledon championsaid. "As a former
professional, he has the experience, heʼs been on the Tour – not the WTA Tour, but I donʼt think that will be a major adjustment. He knows what it is like to deal with pressure on the court." The world No.2 also indicated that after a successful 2018, she wasnʼt looking for Schüttler, whose claim to fame as a player was reaching the final of the 2003 Australian Open, to make any major adjustments to her game. "I donʼt need anybody to teach me how to play tennis. Iʼve been on the Tour for a few years now, I know how to play," Kerber said. "It all starts with me."
Deadly gun attack at Chinese consulate in Karachi Unidentified gunmen tried to storm the Chinese consulate in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, killing at least two policemen, officials have said. One other security guard was reported to have been critically injured. Gunmen attacked the Chinese consulate in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi early on Friday, killing two policemen and wounding a security guard, officials said. Security forces killed three attackers to end an hourlong shootout, Karachi police chief Ameer Sheikh told reporters outside the consulate. "They could not even get in the compound," Ameer Ahmad Sheikh said, contradicting other reports that the gunmen had entered the building. A Pakistani separatist group has claimed responsibility for the attack. "China is exploiting our resources," a spokesman for the socalled Balochistan Liberation Army said in a telephone call to Reuters news agency.

Mixed messages on Bayern Munichʼs Bundesliga title credentials "Weʼre not in a position to talk about the title at the moment. We simply arenʼt good enough." In a world of bland, non-commital statements from footballers, Arjen Robbenʼs words to German public broadcaster ARD rang out louder than most. The veteran has won seven Bundesliga titles in his nine full seasons with the Bavarian club and Bayern have won each of the last six. In several of those seasons, Bayern have overcome points deficits to emerge victorious, including last season where they trailed Borussia Dortmund by five points early on. While the gap this year is bigger, seven points in November looks far from insurmountable and disregards the fact that Bayern were heavy title favorites coming into the current campaign. Robbenʼs teammate Sandro Wagner certainly has no such misgivings.
Fernando Alonso to call time on eventful career When the Formula One season wraps up on Sunday, it will probably be the final race for one of the sportʼs best drivers. However, Fernando Alonso isnʼt leaving motor racing altogether. DW takes a look back at his career. Sundayʼs Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is set to be McLaren driverFernando Alonsoʼs313th and last Formula One race. Over his 17 seasons, the native of Oviedo Spain, who ended Michael Schumacherʼs domination by winning the 2005 and 2006 driversʼ titles, has had one of Formula Oneʼs more eventful careers. In his early years, Alonso set a number of records – as the youngest to qualify on pole position (2003 Malaysian Grand Prix) and to win an F1 race (2003 Hungarian Grand Prix) – and in 2005, the youngest to win a driversʼ title at 24
years and 58 days old. The 2006 title made him the youngest to have won two – in seasons in which he also led Renault to consecutive constructorsʼ championships. Although the 37year-old was never able to add to those early titles, he says he will leave F1 with no regrets. "I have won more races than what I dreamed of when I came here, and this part of my career is done – it was a success," Alonso said in an interview with ESPN this week. "I have ticked the box. I need to go for another tick and find another box to fill. Thatʼs the only reason."

Dark, intense shades meet casual feminine style: Högl Collection A/W 2018/2019 The Högl autumn/winter 2018/19 collection confidently showcases the new on-trend colours dark plum, violet, rust brown and different shades of grey. The new season’s styles are impressively strong, but still feminine. They come in a range of new colours and materials, in slim, elegant styles with block heels and profiled soles – guaranteed to turn heads. Nightwalker Mysterious and as dark as the night, the styles in this part of the collection won’t fail to impress. The focus is on new interpretations of classics: boots and ankle boots with stylish details such as laces, eyelets and buckles. The colour palette ranges from black to dark grey to the new addition of dark plum. Swarovski® crystal detailing emphasises the feminine look and adds a hint of opulence. Winter styles are enhanced by a Gore-Tex® membrane, and are available in both casual suede and metallic leather. Sense Maker Delicate greys bring a ray of light in the winter darkness, complemented by clean, simple lines. The urban focus of the collection uses a palette of flattering dark grey, stone, nude and mauve tones. Trendy block heels and new queenie heels feature strongly. From sneakers to heels (in round, V-neck and highfronted cuts) to bootees and over-knee boots, the high-quality leather and soft neutral colours of these new designs complement next season’s relaxed, feminine look perfectly. Experiencer The third theme of the collection is expressed in earthy tones, from espresso to rust brown and camel. Sneakers, bootees and heels in burnt colours and retro-chic style invite to experiment with all sorts of different combinations. The multi-tone effect of the new materials used for ankle boots – such as crushed Naplak – adds a surprising twist to their look. Singer Adrien Szekeres is now 3rd year brand ambassador of Högl Shoes in Hungary!
