Al Jazeera cameraman Ahmed Wishah was killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted a house in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza Saturday.In a statement , the network said it “strongly condemns the heinous crime of targeting and killing” the Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent.”This constitutes a new and flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and reflects a continued systematic policy of targeting journalists and silencing the voice of truth,” the statement added.At least 10 people were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza Saturday.Wishah’s killing comes barely two months after his brother, Mohammed Wishah, also a correspondent for Al Jazeera Mubasher, was killed on April 8 when an Israeli drone fired a missile that struck his car on the al-Rashid coastal road as he drove home to Bureij. He was declared dead at the scene.Mohammed Wishah, born in 1986 in Bureij, had joined Al Jazeera’s Arabic-language live channel in 2018 and was among 12 Al Jazeera journalists and media workers killed in Gaza since the start of the war in October 2023. At the time of his death, Palestinian authorities put the number of media workers killed across the enclave at 262. Related Story Source link
Kyle Jamieson took three wickets as New Zealand pressed for a series-levelling win in the second Test after leaving England with a record-breaking run-chase at the Oval on Saturday.England were 182-5 at stumps on the fourth day, needing a further 281 runs to reach a mammoth target of 463 runs.The most any side have made to win in the fourth innings in 149 years of Test cricket is the West Indies's 418-7 against Australia at St John's in 2003.But stand-in England captain Joe Root was still there on 75 not out having become just the second batsman after retired India great Sachin Tendulkar to score 14,000 Test runs.Not for the first time in his 165-Test career, however, Root came in with England deep in trouble -at 13-2 after towering fast bowler Jamieson took two wickets in five balls.Root and Harry Brook (58) kept New Zealand at bay before New Zealand first-innings bowling hero Matt Henry ended the Yorkshire duo's entertaining stand of 97. Jamieson returned to have James Rew, one of three England debutants at the Oval, lbw on review shortly before stumps as he ended the day with fine figures of 3-37 in 14 overs.The situation was tailor-made for the kind of counter-attacking innings associated with regular England captain Ben Stokes.But all-rounder Stokes, who made 95 for county side Durham on Saturday, is missing from this match after being dropped for breaking a team curfew following England's 115-run win in the first Test at Lord's a fortnight ago.Stokes will reportedly return for next week's series finale at Trent Bridge but Root will have debutant Jordan Cox for company at the start of Sunday's play in south London as England try to stop New Zealand from levelling this three-match series at 1-1.The fourth over of England's chase saw Emilio Gay (11) clip Jamieson to midwicket and four balls later the paceman had No 3 Jacob Bethell plumb lbw for a duck. ROOT REACHES 14,000Root, the England captain before Stokes took over four years ago, needed just two runs to join Tendulkar in an exclusive club and a quick single off Henry took him to 14,000 Test runs.The 35-year-old, somewhat shyly given he was two not out, raised his bat as the Oval crowd applauded his achievement.Tendulkar's 15,921 runs from 200 Tests could be Root's next target.But Root could only watch as Ben Duckett, on nine, recklessly tried to hook a Will O'Rourke delivery way above his head and spooned a simple catch to short midwicket.New batsman Brook, showed better judgment in what to hit, with England needing to attack to have any chance of chasing down their imposing total. SUPERB LEGSIDE SIXHe lofted Nathan Smith for a superb legside six and went down the pitch to drive Jamieson for four during a 33-ball fifty featuring 46 runs – 10 fours and a six – in boundaries.Brook, however, could only manage seven more runs from his next 21 deliveries as the Black Caps regained control in the field and he eventually edged Henry, who had taken five wickets in England's first innings, to slip.Root, who overturned being given out lbw on 44, went to his fifty by elegantly guiding Jamieson to the third man rope for an eighth four in 81 balls faced.Earlier New Zealand were dismissed for 362 in their second innings after resuming on 252-3.Henry Nicholls, in for retired New Zealand great Kane Williamson, added just two runs to his overnight 119, but Daryl Mitchell kept the runs coming with 68 after being dropped off Saturday's first ball. BRIEF SCORESEngland 291 (Henry 5-80) and 182 for 5 (Root 75*, Brook 54, Jamieson 3-37) need 281 more runs to beat New Zealand 391 (Phillips 101) and 362 (Nicholls 121) Source link
Lewis Hamilton claimed his first victory for Ferrari on Sunday at the Barcelona-Catalunya Formula One Grand Prix, ending championship leader Kimi Antonelli’s five-race winning streak. The seven-time world champion finished ahead of George Russell and Lando Norris, while Antonelli was forced to abandon in the final stages because of a technical problem. Hamilton, 41, cut down Antonelli’s title lead to 41 points by triumphing on a Sunday nearly two years after he last won a race. “It’s not over, that’s for sure,” said Hamilton of the championship race. Mercedes polesitter Russell came in 19 seconds behind Hamilton, with Norris completing an all-British podium, the first since the 1968 United States Grand Prix. “You have helped me so much to achieve this dream, I cannot thank you enough,” said Hamilton over team radio. “To the fans, thank you for reminding me who I am. I couldn’t have done this without you.” Russell, pre-season favourite for the championship, arrived in Barcelona bemoaning bad luck for his recent struggles but after team-mate Antonelli edged in front of him late on he had some good fortune to cut the gap on the teenager to 53 points after the Italian abandoned. “Good to be back on the podium and have a clean race, but Ferrari were mighty today so we need to keep pushing,” said Russell. “The last stints were difficult, but it’s good to be back here. The pace today was insane from Lewis, they are coming I think.” With track temperatures up at 51 degrees Celsius, Hamilton opted for a three pit-stop strategy and it worked to perfection, with the third of those fortuitously coming while the virtual safety car was deployed. Ferrari’s heavily upgraded car may well have been fast enough for Hamilton to triumph anyway, as he recorded the 106th victory of his career. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen came in fourth, ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Isack Hadjar in the other Red Bull. Russell got off to the perfect start from pole, holding off Hamilton on softs, with the Ferrari driver cutting off Antonelli. Hadjar, who started in position six, was slow off the line and overtaken by eight cars. Charles Leclerc, in the second Ferrari, admitted he was “ashamed” by his crash in qualifying which left him starting in 10th but expertly weaved his way up to sixth, although he was later forced to retire. Early stop Hamilton took an early pit stop on lap 12 to swap his softs for hards, with Mercedes responding on the following lap with hards for Russell. Russell was worried his stop “exposed” him to Antonelli but retook the lead from Hamilton with his teenage team-mate back in third after his own stop to bolt on the hards.With Hamilton 2.3 seconds behind Russell he said “we are on Plan C” over team radio. The seven-time champion pitted for the second time in the 28th lap, indicating a three-stop strategy, with Mercedes deciding not to follow suit because of the threat of 2025 champion Lando Norris, who was on a two-stop plan. Antonelli moved right behind Russell, who was forced to fend off his team-mate. Russell was called in for fresh hards before Antonelli followed suit, allowing Hamilton into the lead, with Ferrari telling the Briton this was the “critical time” for his race. Home favourite Alonso, in what he said was probably his final appearance in Barcelona, was forced to retire because of a suspected battery issue. It brought out a yellow flag with the virtual safety car deployed, offering Hamilton an ideal chance for a cheap stop. That worked brilliantly for Hamilton who emerged from his third stop with fresh rubber 2.6s ahead of Russell with 24 laps remaining. With clean air Hamilton was able to stretch his lead comfortably to triumph in style. The victory was sweetened further by late drama as Antonelli retired from second place in the 62nd lap to blow open the championship. Related Story Source link
