European Court of Justice rules Polish arrest warrants can be halted The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled against extraditing suspects to Poland on Wednesday if there are "serious and fact-based grounds" to believe the suspect would not receive a fair trial.

More recently, the lawmakers changed retirement age for the Supreme Court judges, which critics believe was aimed at ousting the most experienced judges and stacking the body with government supporters.

Neymar omitted from FIFA Best shortlist Brazilian forward Neymar is a surprise omission from the FIFAʼs Best Menʼs Player award shortlist.

Thereʼs also a complete lack of Germans on the menʼs list, but Dzsenifer Marozsan is in contention for the womenʼs gong.

Brazilʼsearly exit from the World Cupand a somewhat injury-hit debut season at Paris Saint-Germain, where he nevertheless racked up 28 goals and 16 assists in 30 games, are likely to have contributed to Neymarʼs absence.

2017, among the 10 names. Croatia skipper Luka Modric and French tyroKylian Mbappe, who both picked up individual awards at the World Cup, will be hoping to break the La Liga duopoly on major global indvidiual awards.

The rest of the 10-man shortlist is made up of two more French World Cup winners (Antoine Griezmann and Raphael Varane), Belgian duo Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne, Liverpoolʼs Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah and English striker Harry Kane.

Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho avoids Premier League title question

Serena Williams says she is being ʼdiscriminatedʼ against over doping tests

Mick Jagger at 75: more musical milestones

The Stonesʼ frontman didnʼt have to wait long for success. But what might have become of Mick Jagger if he hadnʼt let himself get caught urinating by a gas station in 1965?

At 75, the bad boy of rock lives on.

Alongside band mates Brian Jones and Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger was famously charged in 1965 in England with indecent behavior. It was an episode that cemented the Rolling Stonesʼ bad boy image, delivering fans the proof that the Stones were absolute rebels. Shortly thereafter, the bandʼs song "(I Canʼt Get No) Satisfaction" became a worldwide smash and the anthem of an entire generation. Calculating the worth of a particular provocation has long been the specialty of the bandʼs front man, Mick Jagger, a former business student at the London School of Economics. Mick Jagger combines two talents that donʼt always harmonize.

On the one hand, heʼs the cool and cunning businessman; but heʼs also the charismatic lead singer of a band whose image has always been bound up with scandal.

Serena Williams says she is a victim of "discrimination" as she is the most drug tested American tennis player. The 23-time Grand Slam singles championmade the claim in a tweet on Tuesday,after doping officials visited her. The American had

previously expressed frustration about the volume of her tests earlier this month.

"Out of all the players itʼs been proven Iʼm the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so," said the 36-year-old.

Whatʼs lurking in the German forest?

Germans are passionate about their forests. They really are. In a way that some non-Germans find hard to comprehend.

When I called a friend the other day, a German friend that is, she didnʼt pick up, but wrote me a message. It simply said "Iʼm in the forest." It may read like a scant sentence, but in a country where the woods reside within the national soul as much as the national soul resides within them, it speaks volumes. She was not, with those four

words, seeking to give me an insight into her physical surroundings, but was telling me, shorthand, that she had felt a yearning for peace and calm. For such is the quintessentially German synonym with the woods. I have tried, during my many years here, to tap into that sense of longing, but it eludes me. The truth of it is, I donʼt really like being in the woods on my own. Too numerous are its shadows, too disquieting its quiet for inner harmony to stand a fighting chance.

Jose Mourinho refused to say whether he thinks his Manchester United squad are strong enough to compete for the Premier League title next season. United have brought in three players for about £68m this summer, and the 55-year-oldtold ESPNhe would like to sign "two more players". Asked at a news conference if he was confident of challenging, Mourinho said: "I donʼt answer your question." The Portuguese stayed silent when pressed to explain why.

Innovative schooling: Finlandʼs Me & MyCity program Finland has long had a reputation for innovative schooling methods, and the Me & MyCity program is no exception.

It creates an environment for sixth-graders whichsimulates a miniature city where students work in a profession and function as consumers and citizens, as part of society.
