Furthermore, the Verdão - three-time Libertadores champion - made a point of reinforcing that, among Brazilian teams with at least 142 games in the continental tournament, it is the one with the most victories.

World-renowned psychics predict apocalyptic end to 2025: ‘The worst is yet to come'
They're the Four Horsemen/-women of the apocalypse. No need to seek a second opinion for Armageddon. The psychic stars aligned after four different prophets shared the same concerning prediction for an event that will allegedly transpire later this year. Blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga,16th-century French astrologer Nostradamus, Brazilian psychic Athos Salomé and London hypnotherapist Nicolas Aujula all believe that we will see the outbreak of World War III before year's end. Vanga, who was born in 1911 as Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, has become known as the 'Nostradamus of the Balkans' for her eerily prescient premonitions, including 9/11, Princess Diana's death and, more recently, climate change-induced earthquakes in 2025 that were similar to the deadly tremors that rocked Myanmar and Thailand last month. Unfortunately, the doomsday seer also foresaw a war breaking out in Europe this year, which she saw as the start of 'humanity's downfall' and a major blow to the global population, the Daily Mail reported. Her warning was echoed by Nostradamus, better known as the 'Prophet of Doom,' who is credited with forecasting calamities from Adolf Hitler's rise to the COVID-19 pandemic in his famed 1555 book 'Les Prophéties.' The French fiasco foreteller believes that this year, the UK will be drawn into the conflict. 'When those from the lands of Europe, see England set up her throne behind,' Nostradamus wrote in the tome. 'Her flanks, there will be cruel wars. The kingdom will be marked by wars so cruel, foes from within and without will arise.' He added, 'A great pestilence from the past returns, no enemy more deadly under the skies.' Meanwhile, Brazilian psychic Athos Salomé, 38, who has been known as a living Nostradamus for predicting momentous events like Queen Elizabeth's death, also believes that WWIII is on our doorstep and that 'the worst is yet to come.' This conflict will be perhaps scarier than in years past, as tech and cyber warfare will become the modus operandi for 21st-century combatants. 'This is not just a war of men, but of machines, and in this aspect, what comes next?' lamented Salomé. He was seemingly echoing techsperts' 'Terminator'-esque warnings about the need to regulate artificial intelligence like nuclear weapons if humanity is to survive. The fourth member of this apocalyptic quartet, London hypnotherapist Nicolas Aujula, 38, believes that war could break out by the middle of this year due to a 'lack of compassion in the world.' Based on his psychic visions, 'We will see horrific acts of human evil and violence toward each other in the name of religion and nationalism.' These ominous warnings come at a particularly volatile time. Earlier this month, Pakistan and India launched strikes and counter-strikes against each other's military installations, prompting US calls for the nuclear-armed neighbors to begin talks and nip the escalating conflict in the bud. And while they agreed to a ceasefire, the truce was seemingly shaken just hours later by fighting in the disputed Kashmir region. Meanwhile, there appears to be no end in sight for the ongoing Russo-Ukraine War, which saw at least seven people killed last week during a massive Russian drone-and-missile attack on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and other regions in the country. President Trump gave Vladimir Putin a deadline to prove he's serious about ending the Ukraine war — after the Kremlin revealed Thursday the Russian leader has no plans to hash it out with his US counterpart. Putin had reportedly disclosed a list of demands for ending the conflict, which critics felt were identical to the leader's stance before launching his invasion more than three years ago.

Klay Thompson mourns loss of beloved bulldog Rocco
Former Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson is mourning the death of his longtime companion and English bulldog, Rocco, who passed away over the weekend at the age of 13. The news was shared by the Thompson's father, former NBA player and broadcaster Mychal Thompson, during an appearance on ESPN Los Angeles' 'Mason & Ireland' radio show on Wednesday. 'As Mase and Ireland always say, when someone dear has departed, 'Hail fellow well met,'' Mychal said. 'We had to put Rocco, Klay's dog, down over the weekend.' Thompson added that 'it was time,' noting the dog had lived a full life. 'We were all sad, but Rocco had a great, long life,' he said. 'So today's game is dedicated to the memory of our service men and women, and to Rocco.' Rocco became something of a celebrity in his own right as Thompson ascended to NBA superstardom. Adopted during Klay's rookie year, the bulldog was frequently featured in social media posts and interviews. Though Rocco hadn't appeared in the spotlight recently, his presence remained significant to Thompson, who has referred to him affectionately as his 'son.' Rocco's Instagram page amassed over 61,000 followers. Thompson, 35, completed his first season with the Dallas Mavericks this year after 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors.

Macron warns US and the Indo-Pacific not to abandon Ukraine at the expense of focusing on China
SINGAPORE (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron warned the United States and a large audience of Indo-Pacific nations on Friday night that they risk a dangerous double standard as they concentrate on a potential conflict with China, if that shift comes at the cost of abandoning Ukraine. Macron's made the remarks as the U.S. is considering withdrawing troops from Europe to shift them to the Indo-Pacific. He warned that abandoning Ukraine would eventually erode U.S. credibility in deterring any potential conflict with China over Taiwan. In a speech that emphasized France's tight ties to the Indo-Pacific, Macron said that any shifts to developing a more hard-line deterrent stance in the region is still tied to how the world — and particularly the West — treats other critical issues, including climate change and Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza. 'If you consider that Russia could be allowed to take a part of the territory of Ukraine without any restriction, without any constraint, without any reaction of the global order, how would you phrase what would happen in Taiwan, what would you do the day something happened in" the Philippines? he asked in a speech delivered in English. Hegseth in the audience The speech was notable in that Macron delivered it with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in the audience and as not only France, but countries around the globe are dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump's fluctuating tariff threats. Both Europe and those same Indo-Pacific nations also find themselves increasingly pulled between the competing interests of Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. 'We want to cooperate. But we don't want to be instructed on a daily basis what is allowed, what is not allowed and how our life will change because of the decision of a single person," Macron said, in an apparent jab at Trump. Macron and Hegseth are among the world leaders, diplomats and top defense officials in Singapore this weekend for the region's biggest security forum that comes amid concerns of China's growing assertiveness, the global impact of the Russia-Ukraine war and the flare-up of conflicts in Asia. It's Hegseth's first time at the Shangri-La Dialogue, hosted by the International Institute for Security Studies, which is taking place against the backdrop of heightened rhetoric between Beijing and Washington. The Trump administration has threatened China with triple-digit tariffs, and there's some uncertainty in the region over how committed the U.S. is to the defense of Taiwan, which also faces possible 32% American tariffs. China claims the self-governing democracy as its own, and Xi hasn't ruled out taking it by force. China sends military aircraft, ships and spy balloons near Taiwan as part of a campaign of daily harassment, and currently has an aircraft carrier in the waters southeast of the island. China sends lower-level delegation China, which usually sends its defense minister to the Shangri-La forum, sent a much lower-level delegation instead, led by Maj. Gen. Hu Gangfeng, the vice president of the People's Liberation Army National Defense University. The delegation was expected to speak Saturday on a panel on 'cooperative maritime security' alongside representatives from Japan, Vietnam, Chile and the U.K. — notable in that China's aggressive global fisheries tactics have been a regular topic of concern not only in the Indo-Pacific but as far away as Latin America and the Arctic. Defense officials traveling with Hegseth, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak to the media, called the absence of a higher-level Chinese delegation an opportunity for the U.S. to make inroads. 'We can't account for whether China engages or not. All we know is that we're here. And we will be here,' Hegseth said as he met with Philippine Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro. Allies worried about US commitment to their defense Hegseth's trip to Singapore is his second to the region since becoming defense secretary, following a March visit to the Philippines, which has seen escalating confrontations with China over competing territorial claims in the South China Sea. That trip, which also included a stop in Japan, brought a degree of relief over growing concerns from the Philippines and others in the region about U.S. support from a president who has taken more of a transactional approach to diplomacy and seems wary of foreign engagements. The U.S. has been pursuing a 'free and open Indo-Pacific' policy, which includes regularly sailing warships through the Taiwan Strait and in the South China Sea, which is claimed almost in its entirety by China. The European Union has adopted a more economics-driven approach, but several European nations have also regularly taken part in the freedom of navigation exercises, including France, which sent a carrier strike group on a five-month mission through the Indo-Pacific that concluded in April. France steps up its presence in Indo-Pacific In its published Indo-Pacific strategy, France has underscored the need to 'preserve a rules-based international order' in the face of 'China's increasing power and territorial claims' and its global competition with the United States. France's own ties to the Indo-Pacific are strong, with more than 1.6 million of its citizens living in the region in French overseas territories. Following a meeting Friday with Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, Macron told reporters there was room in the region for more than just the two superpowers. 'We are neither China nor the U.S., we don't want to depend on any of them," he said. 'We want to cooperate with both as far as we can, and we can cooperate for growth and prosperity and stability for our people and the world order, and I think this is exactly the same view of a lot of countries and a lot of people of this region.' Wong underscored Macron's point, saying that Singapore and the greater region weren't looking for exclusive arrangements with any single power. "We want to embrace comprehensive engagement with all parties and embrace win-win arrangements rather than zero-sum competition,' he said. In his speech later, he said it was wrong to think of the war in Ukraine as simply a European war, and chided China for its support of Russia and for not doing anything to prevent North Korea from sending weapons and troops to aid Russia's fight. NATO's role Macron said that he had always been against NATO taking a role in Asia — something China routinely accuses the U.S. of trying to engineer - but suggested that the presence of North Korean soldiers on the front lines in Ukraine might cause him to reconsider. 'If China doesn't want NATO being involved in Southeast Asia or Asia, they should prevent, clearly, DPRK to be engaged on the European soil,' he said, referring to North Korea by its formal name. The conference comes as civil war continues to rage in Myanmar, creating a massive humanitarian crisis that has only been compounded by the effects of a devastating earthquake that hit in March. It also follows the outbreak of violence this week on the Thai-Cambodian border, in which a Cambodian soldier was killed in a brief exchange of fire between the two sides. Thailand and Cambodia have a long history of land disputes, though Thailand said after the short skirmish that the situation had been resolved. Of greater concern, nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan came to the brink of war earlier this month in their most serious military confrontation in decades. The two armies exchanged gunfire, artillery strikes, missiles and drones that killed dozens of people, and Pakistan shot down several Indian planes before a truce was declared. ___ Sylvie Corbet contributed to this report from Paris.
