Labour has launched a galling attack on nature
During the last Conservative government, it was common to hear the refrain that the prime minister of the day was waging a 'war on nature'. As someone who played a role in advising a string of environment ministers, I always thought that to be somewhat hyperbolic. I always admire the passion of campaigners, and I share with them a longing for our government to go further and do more for nature; but, at least until the last couple of years of Conservative government, I didn't think many of the criticisms were fair. I'm starting to worry now, though, that we're living in an altogether different world. The new Labour government was elected on a promise to protect and restore nature. And yet here we are a year later wistfully contemplating those halcyon days when No. 10 was criticised for 'lacking ambition' on nature recovery. Seemingly every environmental protection in the statute book is under threat. Nature is not voiceless in today's government.

Walpole overcomes lackluster season to win back-to-back South sectional golf titles; Feehan's Hanley Correia is medalist
The Timberwolves pulled away from the field on a sunny, warm Tuesday afternoon, winning a second straight sectional crown with a 371 score, besting the Red Hawks (389) and Duxbury (394). Bishop Feehan junior Hanley Correia was the individual medalist with a 2-over-par 74. 'I told them after our last match, we lost to Needham, that the season hadn't gone the way I expected,' said second-year Walpole coach Vivian Kolovos, a Barnstable graduate. 'I'm so pleasantly surprised that this happened today and they all pulled through. It's just amazing.' Advertisement 'This year we kind of struggled,' said Walpole junior Tori Adams, who shot a team-best 84, finishing tied for third with Barnstable's Meghan Garthee. 'We didn't know what to expect. Some of the teams here beat us in the league. But I knew the girls would stick together and we played great.'

'To be honest, I didn't think we'd [win] it,' Nosal said. 'We had a tough week when we lost a couple of matches and we practiced a lot. Today, we all gave it our all and we did it. It's crazy.'

Correia, who won the sectional title as a freshman, bounced back from a fifth-place finish last year, when a 10 on the par-5 14th hole knocked her out of contention. So when she returned to that hole Tuesday, she took a breath and followed up a strong drive with a pin-high approach shot and putted out for the birdie, a six-shot improvement. It was Correia's second birdie of the day, following up on a strong drive on the par-4, 235-yard No. 10, where she cleared a row of trees to her right with a hybrid driver, allowing her to finish the back nine at 1-under after a 3-over front nine. 'It wasn't a good day for my approach shots, but luckily my chipping was good and I was able to come back with that,' she said. 'My chipping really saved me today.'

Brendan Kurie Correia has been playing since she was old enough to hold a club, learning the game at MGA Links in Norton (now The Links at Mass Golf), where she played with her older brother Chad, now a freshman at Bryant. Her father, Rod Correia, was a standout baseball player at Dighton-Rehoboth and UMass Dartmouth who went on to play 84 games with the California Angels from 1993-95, and her mother, Martha, was a former professional figure skater.

'I knew I was in contention. I didn't know if I'd end up pulling through,' she said. 'I'm happy my work paid off. It's a grind balancing schoolwork and practice every day. After I won it my freshman year I felt I had a reputation to keep up. I just hope I win it again next year.'

Real Madrid Offers No. 10 Shirt to French Star Mbappé
Madrid – SABA: Spanish media have reported that Real Madrid has offered French forward Kylian Mbappé the iconic No. 10 shirt for the upcoming season. According to the program El Chiringuito, the Spanish club proposed that Mbappé wear the jersey previously donned by Croatian legend Luka Modrić, following the veteran midfielder's departure from the team. Mbappé initially began his journey with Real Madrid wearing the No. 9 shirt, as his preferred number 7 was already taken by Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior. Now, the No. 10—once worn by Modrić—will be handed to the French striker. The No. 10 shirt carries a prestigious legacy at Real Madrid, having been worn by legendary players such as Mesut Özil, Portuguese icon Luís Figo, Clarence Seedorf, and most recently, Luka Modrić. It's worth noting that Mbappé also wears the No. 10 for the French national team and considers it his favorite number, alongside the No. 7, which he famously wore at Paris Saint-Germain in honor of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pope Leo XIV denies AS Roma fandom: 'Not everything you read is true'
That Pope Leo XIV is a Chicago White Sox fan and likes to play tennis has already been established. The most pressing sports question for many locals inside the Vatican and surrounding Italy concerning the first American pope remains a mystery, though. Does Leo support an Italian soccer club? Leo cast doubt on the assumption that he's a Roma fan during a private audience with freshly crowned Italian champion Napoli — Roma's rival — on Tuesday. But his comments revealed that he follows the Italian game. When Leo entered the Clementine Hall inside the Apostolic Palace where Napoli's players and staff were seated, there was a slight delay before the guests applauded. "Maybe they didn't want to applaud because in the media they say I'm a Romanista," Leo said, referring to Roma fans. "That's what the press says. Not everything that you read in the press is true." Pope Francis, Leo's predecessor, was from Argentina and was a card-carrying supporter of Buenos Aires soccer club San Lorenzo. Napoli clinched its fourth Serie A title following a 2-0 win over Cagliari on Friday with goals from Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku. Napoli president and film producer Aurelio Del Laurentiis presented Leo with a Napoli No. 10 shirt — the same number worn by the late Diego Maradona when he played for the southern Italian team — with the pope's name on it and featuring signatures from all of the club's players. "You're a No. 10," De Laurentiis said, referring to the number often worn by a team's most talented forward. When De Laurentiis introduced Napoli coach Antonio Conte, the pope cut him off and said "I know him from the (TV) screen, I've seen him many times." Conte has also coached Italy's national team, as well as Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan. "He's profoundly Catholic," De Laurentiis said of Conte. "He's someone who believes in God very attentively and goes to pray often." Leo cited the "social aspect" of Napoli's title. "We know how popular soccer is in Italy and practically the entire world," Leo said. "So, in that respect, the social value of an achievement like this, which is greater than the mere technical-sports aspect, is an example of a team that works together, in which the individual talents are sacrificed for the common good." The pope also warned that "when sports becomes a business, it risks losing the values that make it educational, and it can actually become un-educational." "I want to make an appeal to parents and sports officials: you need to pay careful attention to the moral quality of the sports experience at the competitive level, because it has an impact on the humane growth of young people," Leo said. The meeting with Napoli came less than two weeks after Leo held a private audience with top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner. Reporting by The Associated Press.
