Trump rebukes crowd for not applauding ban on transgender women from female sports
Donald Trump scolded a crowd for not applauding his comments on his administration's ban on transgender people competing in women's sports. The US president's 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports' executive order was published in February. The order bans transgender women from competing in female sports categories. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has announced it will comply with the executive order. "That's a big deal... It's amazing the way I don't hear any applause for that when everyone feels it... nobody wants to clap it's crazy," Trump said on Tuesday (5 August).

I was destined to be a Premier League star... instead, I made millions fixing matches. These are the tricks I used to throw games, how I recruited other players and why it's a far bigger part of football than anyone realises
Former professional footballer Moses Swaibu still vividly remembers the moment he met Tan Seet Eng, the 5ft 5in, chain-smoking Singaporean kingpin of what was reputed to be the world's biggest match-fixing syndicate. Until that point, the future had looked bright for Swaibu, then a 23-year-old defender, who had been voted Crystal Palace 's young player of the year five years earlier and tipped for a glittering Premier League career. Yet, here he was, in a five-star hotel room in Mayfair being asked to lose the following day's game between his team Bromley and opposing side Eastbourne.

The two lads saw the microphone and wandered moved slowly, physically tired from their journey, but with their faces lit up by what was happening around them. They were trying to take it all were in a side street outside a bar which, rumour had it, was about to open specifically for Aston Villa supporters. I was with BBC Midlands colleagues and asking fans to sum up their feelings at being in Paris, hours before a Champions League emerged that, like quite a few we had met already, they had travelled without tickets and with no serious hope of getting any. Unlike most of the others, they said it was their first European trip, but they had heard the stories from friends and those who sit around them at home games and decided this time they would go. After a succession of long coach rides, they had I asked, had they gone to all that trouble - and expense - for a game that they knew they would not be able to see, and could have watched at home or in the pub?"I don't know. We just had to be here, didn't we?" said one."Yes," his friend replied. "It's the Villa, you know?"And I did Villa's return to Europe over the past two seasons, I have spoken to dozens of fans who might have said the same. Many of them had travelled knowing they were unlikely to get into the stadium. But it demonstrated that, for so many supporters, supporting a football club is about much more than 90 minutes, twice a of those following the team around Europe were from Birmingham, many from the wider Villa-supporting diaspora. They came from all classes and levels of society - some able to travel in style, others content to get there by any means available. They saw the sights and sampled the local food and what seemed to make it matter most - why those two lads felt they just had to be there - did not seem to be the city, the match, the quality of the opposition, or even the status of the competition.
