Qatar’s beach volleyball stars Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan stormed into the final of the Asian Beach Games — Sanya 2026 with a dominant straight-sets victory yesterday.The Qatari pair overpowered Thailand 2-0 (21-12, 21-14) in the semi-finals to set up a title clash against Iran, who advanced after defeating Oman in the other last-four encounter. Reflecting on the win, Tijan highlighted the team’s discipline and cohesion: “We approached the match against Thailand with strong focus from the very beginning and managed to impose our style of play. Our harmony on court made the difference. In matches like these, it’s crucial to minimize errors and make the most of every opportunity.” In handball, Qatar also booked a place in the final after a hard-fought 2-0 (13-8, 20-18) victory over Bahrain. The hosts controlled the first half, taking a solid 13-8 lead, but faced a tougher challenge in the second as Bahrain fought back to level the score at 18-18 in the closing moments. Abdulrazzaq Murad delivered the decisive blow, scoring the winning goal less than 30 seconds before the final whistle. Qatar will now meet Iran, who defeated Thailand, in the final. Meanwhile, Qatar’s men’s 3×3 basketball team comprised of Mohammed Bashir, Dejan Janic, Abdulrahman Saad, and Othman Deng advanced to the semi-finals with a 20-16 win over Iran. The team dictated the pace throughout, using aggressive offense and constant pressure to build and maintain their lead. They will face China in the semi-finals, while the Philippines take on Thailand in the other matchup. Source link
Britain yesterday sought to uphold a ban on pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action, which it has designated a terrorist organisation, after a court ruling that the move unlawfully interfered with freedom of expression. Palestine Action, which had increasingly targeted Israel-linked defence companies in Britain with a particular focus on Israel’s largest defence firm Elbit Systems, was proscribed under terrorism laws last year. London’s High Court ruled in February that the ban was unlawful, although it remains in force pending the outcome of the government’s appeal, which began yesterday. Lawyers for Britain’s interior minister, Shabana Mahmood, told the Court of Appeal that the finding that the ban had a significant impact on freedom of expression was “overstated and wrong”.Huda Ammori, who co-founded Palestine Action in 2020 and brought the successful challenge, argues proscription has imposed “severe restrictions on the fundamental free speech and assembly rights of vast numbers of people”. Palestine Action was banned shortly after a June break-in at the Royal Air Force’s Brize Norton air base, in which activists damaged two military planes.More than 2,700 people have since been arrested for holding signs in support of Palestine Action, though charges could be dropped if the High Court’s ruling is upheld. After February’s decision, London’s Metropolitan Police said it would pause arrests while reviewing its position, but resumed enforcement earlier this month, arresting over 500 people.The High Court’s decision was announced shortly after six people charged over the 2024 raid on Elbit were all acquitted of aggravated burglary.
