[ad_1] Left: Hector Yuste. Source: East Bengal FC, Right: Jamie maclaren. Source: Mohun Bagan SG It is the first Kolkata derby of this season’s Indian Super League (ISL) and, needless to say, passions are running high. With the controversy over Anwar Ali playing out in the background in the last few months, the game has an added layer of intensity to it. Fans of both clubs crave a win and anything to the contrary is unacceptable. For East Bengal, with four losses in the first four games, this is make-or-break territory. A loss could mean this season’ss ISL goes downhill and the pre-season positivity is lost. The club have already replaced a coach mid-season, and there can’t be anything worse than a defeat in the derby as they gets ready to welcome a new coach. A win, however, would change everything. All of a sudden, the losses would be forgotten and the foreign recruits will be hailed as saviours. Oscar Bruzon, the new coach, would inherit a team with momentum and that could just be what the club desperately needs. For Mohun Bagan, on the other hand, the stakes are equally high. They are a really good side and performance have been patchy at best this season. The 0-3 loss to Bengaluru notwithstanding, MBSG is surely one of the best teams on paper. And yet, their foreign stars – Dimi Petratos, Jamie Maclaren and Greg Stewart – haven’t really delivered so far. While the Mohammedan Sporting game marked a sort of turnaround, it is always the match against East Bengal that matters most.

A derby is not won on form. Nor is it won based on the number of foreigners on the park. Rather, it is won in the mind. It is the hunger that wins you a derby. Which side wants it more, and who is ready to give it his all. The never-say-die attitude of the players is what will decide a derby, and not just pedigree. A derby is also about dealing with pressure. Fans will want goals and more, and it is essential to shut out the outside noise. A good derby can make a player’s career and make him a hero overnight. The platform is such that it brooks no failure. Even if someone doesn’t score for ten games, the fans will still be sympathetic if he has scored in a derby. That’s how it is, and how it will always be. In front of 65000 fans at the Salt Lake stadium, the two teams will fight for pride. That right to claim derby honours which has defined Kolkata football for 100 years now. The noise, the cheers, the abuse, the laments and the despair – each of these emotions will be seen in abundance. That’s what makes this game what it is – the centre piece of football in India. May the best team win, and may it be a good game with no violence. The ISL needs the derby, and so do the fans. All the best to both teams.

Overcrowded Border Jails Give Way to Packed Migrant Child Shelters (NYT) Biden administration officials have insisted that they have gotten better control of a surge of migrant children that has swamped detention centers at the U.S.-Mexico border. But documents obtained by The New York Times indicate that the problem has moved to other facilities, like convention centers in Dallas, San Diego and Long Beach, Calif., which are nearing capacity as funds for more space are scarce. The migrant children are far better cared for at the new facilities, operated by the Department of Health and Human Services, than they were at crammed jails run by the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection, according to administration officials. But health department officials are taking about a month on average to move the children and teenagers out of government custody and into the care of a family member or sponsor in the United States.

Washington Post says US secretly obtained reporters' records (AP) The Trump Justice Department secretly seized the phone records of three Washington Post reporters who covered the federal investigation into ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, the newspaper said Friday. The disclosure sets up a new clash between the federal government and news organizations and advocates for press freedom, who regard the seizures of reporters’ records as incursions into constitutionally protected newsgathering activity. Similar actions have occurred only rarely over the past decade, including a seizure of phone records by the Obama administration of Associated Press reporters and editors over a 2012 story that revealed a foiled bomb plot.

Major US pipeline halts operations after ransomware attack (AP) The operator of a major pipeline system that transports fuel across the East Coast said Saturday that it had been victimized by a ransomware attack and that it had halted all pipeline operations to deal with the threat. The attack is unlikely to affect gasoline supply and prices unless it leads to a prolonged shutdown of the pipeline, experts said. Colonial Pipeline did not say what was demanded or by whom, but ransomware attacks are typically carried out by criminal hackers who seize data and demand a large payment in order to release it. The attack on a pipeline operator, which says it delivers roughly 45% of all fuel consumed on the East Coast, underscored again the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure to cyberattacks both by criminal hackers and U.S. adversaries. It presents a new challenge for an administration still grappling with its response to major hacks from months ago, including a massive breach of government agencies and corporations for which the U.S. sanctioned Russia last month.

200 years after his death, Napoleon leads a divided France into battle again (NBC News) "Napoleon is a part of us," French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday in a landmark speech marking the 200th anniversary of the emperor's death. Whether that's for better or worse has been the subject of a bitter national debate that has mirrored and stoked the more modern culture wars dividing French society and challenging its notions of national identity. Napoleon Bonaparte has been lionized by some — largely on the political right — as a military genius, a modernizer and a national hero who evokes a more glorious time. To others he's an imperialist, a warmonger and an enslaver who should be vilified, not venerated. While most present-day French leaders have shunned paying tribute to the divisive general, Macron broke with convention and urged the country to confront its history. He also laid a wreath at the foot of Napoleon’s grandiose tomb at Les Invalides, a gold-domed monument, as France uneasily commemorated the bicentenary of Napoleon's death in 1821 while looking ahead to presidential elections next year.

Sherpa guide scales Mount Everest for record 25th time (AP) A Sherpa guide scaled Mount Everest for the 25th time on Friday, breaking his own record for the most ascents of the world’s highest peak. Kami Rita and 11 other Sherpa guides reached the summit at about 6 p.m., Department of Tourism official Mira Acharya said. They are the first group of climbers to reach the summit this year and were fixing the ropes on the icy route so that hundreds of other climbers can scale the peak later this month. Rita, 51, first scaled Everest in 1994 and has been making the trip nearly every year since then. He is one of many Sherpa guides whose expertise and skills are vital to the safety and success of the hundreds of climbers who head to Nepal each year seeking to stand on top of the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) mountain. In addition to his 25 times to the top of Everest, Rita has scaled several other peaks that are among the world’s highest, including K-2, Cho-Oyu, Manaslu and Lhotse.

India’s surge hits southern states, prompts more lockdowns (AP) Two southern states in India became the latest to declare lockdowns, as coronavirus cases surge at breakneck speed across the country and pressure mounts on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government to implement a nationwide shutdown. At over 300,000, Karnataka’s capital of Bengaluru has the highest active caseload of any Indian city. But experts warn the worst is still ahead as India’s third-largest city buckles under oxygen shortages, overrun hospitals and crowded crematoriums. In Tamil Nadu state, the lockdown announcement followed a daily record of more than 26,000 cases on Friday. Infections have swelled in India since February in a disastrous turn blamed on more contagious variants as well as government decisions to allow massive crowds to gather for religious festivals and political rallies.

Bombing outside Kabul girls’ school kills at least 30 (AP) The deadliest bombing to strike Kabul in months detonated outside a school for girls, killing at least 30 people and wounding more than 50, a week after the United States and NATO began the complete withdrawal of their forces from the country. Violence has risen across Afghanistan since the start of the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces on May 1. Much of the increased violence is Taliban attacks on vulnerable government-held towns and cities, but on the eve of the withdrawal, a similarly large bombing struck Logar province just south of Kabul. Many of the dead and wounded from Saturday’s attack appear to be students.

Former Maldives President Is Critically Injured in Bombing (NYT) Mohamed Nasheed, the former president of Maldives who is the current leader of the country’s Parliament, was in critical condition on Friday after a bombing near his home, hospital officials said. The Maldives police confirmed injuries to Mr. Nasheed in the attack, which happened late Thursday night, and called it “an act of terror” that was under investigation. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. But officials, including Mr. Nasheed, have expressed concern about Islamic State recruitment in the Maldives, a small island nation and major tourist attraction south of India.

Girl's death in Japan prompts probe of alleged bullying (Washington Post) A Japanese city will reinvestigate alleged bullying that was denied by education officials two years ago after a 14-year-old girl was found dead in a neighborhood park. Saaya Hirose, an eighth grader, disappeared from her home in Asahikawa on the main northern island of Hokkaido in February. Authorities said she was found dead in the park and there was no sign of a crime. Her death and a statement by her mother that she had been bullied prompted Asahikawa Mayor Masahito Nishikawa to instruct education authorities to reinvestigate the case. Bullying is a persistent and growing problem at Japanese schools, which are often criticized for indifference to children persecuted by their peers. Last year, a record 612,000 bullying cases were reported at elementary, junior high and high schools, according to the education ministry. It said there were 479 suicides among students, a new record partly attributed to financial and psychological difficulties during the pandemic. Six were specifically linked to bullying. In Japan’s highly competitive but conformist society, school bullying often involves long-term harassment by a group of students of someone who may be seen as weak or different. Children with outstanding talent, physical handicaps or a foreign upbringing can also be targeted.

Medics: 200 Palestinians hurt in Al-Aqsa clashes with police (AP) A night of heavy clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound and elsewhere in Jerusalem left more than 200 Palestinians wounded, medics said Saturday, as the city braced for even more violence after weeks of unrest. Nightly protests broke out at the start of the holy month of Ramadan over police restrictions at a popular gathering place and have reignited in recent days over threatened eviction of dozens of Palestinians from their homes in east Jerusalem. It was unclear what set off the violence at Al-Aqsa, which erupted when Israeli police in riot gear deployed in large numbers as thousands of Muslim worshippers were holding evening prayers at the sprawling hilltop esplanade. Throughout the night large groups of protesters could be seen hurling rocks as Israeli police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades.

Respect: Is it the glue a polarized nation needs? (Christian Science Monitor) Respect is an essential ingredient in the American experiment. Amid the nation’s political polarization and widening cultural divides are millions of Americans who have lost sight of each other, caught in reflexive rituals and simplistic clichés that dismiss, demonize, or otherwise delegitimize perceived enemies. Respect is one vital way we heal and reestablish common civic ideals. According to Alexandra Hudson, curator of the newsletter Civic Renaissance, "Both civility and respect are more of a disposition, a fundamental way of looking at the world and others as human beings first, more like us than not like us. It’s a way of reflecting on what that means for what we owe one another by virtue of our inherent dignity, our irreducible worth as human beings and as fellow members of the human community.” Its original Latin root, spectare, means “to see” or “to look.” To respect is, in some ways, “to see again,” or to look back and see each other with fresh eyes. “You need strong, healthy, spiritually morally grounded conditions for civility to really work,” said philosopher and political activist Cornel West. “If everybody’s going in with massive distrust and contempt, then you’re not going to get any civility; you’re not going to get integrity, honesty, spreading joy, bearing witness to love. And when you do see it, it is going to be alien.”
