Brazil Legend Lucio In ICU After Suffering Severe Burns In A Shocking Incident
Last Updated: Lucio was hospitalised after suffering burns from an ecological chimney explosion. He is stable and receiving care. Former Brazil defender and World Cup winner Lucio has been hospitalised after suffering burns in a domestic accident, his entourage announced Saturday. 'He (Lucio) is stable, conscious and receiving all the necessary medical care," read a statement on the player's Instagram account. 'The injuries are being treated with specialised attention and his clinical condition is progressing positively." According to the hospital in Brasilia where Lucio is undergoing treatment, the 47-year-old was admitted on Thursday following the accident. Lucio's wife, Marilia Forgiarini, told Brazilian media O Globo that the burns were caused by 'the explosion of an ecological chimney" running on bioethanol. The no-nonsense centre-half won 105 caps for his country and was a key part of Brazil's last World Cup-winning squad in 2002. Lucio retired in 2020 after a successful club career, which saw him win major silverware with European heavyweights Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.

Brazilian court removes CBF president 🇧🇷
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The newspaper 'O Globo' reports that the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice is changing the leadership of the organization. Fernando Sarney takes over as interim administrator and will call new elections. Ednaldo Rodrigues has been removed from the presidency of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) by decision of Judge Gabriel de Oliveira Zéfiro of the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice, who has appointed Fernando Sarney—one of the vice presidents—as interim administrator and called for elections "as soon as possible." After the confirmation of Carlo Ancelotti's arrival as the new head coach of the Seleção, the courts have dealt a blow to the leadership of the body that governs Brazilian football with this measure. Last week, two requests for Ednaldo Rodrigues to leave his post were rejected, which were related to alleged fraud in his 2022 election. 🚨 Justiça destitui Ednaldo Rodrigues da presidência da CBF — ge (@geglobo) May 15, 2025 Judge Gilmar Mendes rejected the petitions submitted by Sarney and by congresswoman Daniela Carneiro for "lack of legitimacy" of the complainants, among other reasons. In fact, this is the second time the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice has removed Ednaldo Rodrigues from the presidency of the CBF. It already happened in December 2023 and, a month later, Rodrigues returned to lead the organization, precisely by decision of Gilmar Mendes. The courts have now ordered his removal, arguing that the agreement which confirmed him in the position is null due to a signature issue. In this context, FIFA could impose sanctions against Brazilian football. 📸 Pedro Vilela - 2023 Getty Images

Brazil Offers to Mediate in Ukraine War
Israa Farhan Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has offered to mediate the ongoing war in Ukraine, expressing Brazil's willingness to act as a diplomatic bridge between Moscow and Kyiv. The offer came during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on May 9, according to a report by CNN Brasil. Lula's proposal is part of Brazil's broader push to position itself as a neutral global player capable of supporting international peace efforts. Speaking at a press conference after his visit to Russia, Lula revealed that he discussed the Ukraine conflict with Putin before, during, and after their official talks. He stressed that Brazil is prepared to cooperate with China and other nations to help narrow the divide between the warring sides, should both Russia and Ukraine demonstrate genuine interest in constructive negotiations. This diplomatic move comes amid growing frustration over stalled ceasefire attempts and increasing battlefield escalation. It also highlights Brazil's growing role in advocating alternative solutions outside of Western-led frameworks. Brazilian newspaper O Globo previously reported that Lula's administration is motivated to step in due to what it sees as the failure of US-led diplomatic initiatives. According to the report, there is a growing belief within Brazil that the White House has fallen short of its commitments to end the conflict. The Brazilian government reportedly views Russia as more open to peace talks than the European Union or Ukrainian authorities. Celso Amorim, President Lula's senior adviser, has referenced the joint Brazil-China peace initiative and reaffirmed Lula's intention to act as a peace envoy during his May visit to Moscow. This initiative seeks to revive global momentum toward a political solution to a war that has dragged on for more than two years. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War

The U.S. is letting Putin string it along on Ukraine
How do you know a former KGB agent is "tapping you along?' That's easy. Just pay attention and don't pretend they aren't. It took barely 48 hours for the Kremlin to answer Donald Trump's recent threat to dial up sanctions unless Russia accepts his deal to stop the war in Ukraine. First came a dose of Dirty Harry-style "make my day,' as Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed two U.S. peace proposals. Then came a tease, in the form of another miniceasefire offer, to muddy the waters. Trump had given his warning right after a Vatican sitdown with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It also followed a week in which Russia had intensified air strikes on Ukraine's cities, as well as its ground offensive in the east — despite being granted the majority of its demands as the U.S. all but begged the Kremlin for a deal to stop the war. Even Trump wondered out loud if the Russians aren't "tapping me along.' Well, yes, they are. If that wasn't clear already, it certainly should be now. The May 8-10 ceasefire Vladimir Putin declared is not the unconditional 30-day truce to make space for settlement talks that the U.S. initially wanted — Ukraine accepted that, Moscow didn't. Nor was it the indefinite ceasefire, sweetened by a raft of major concessions to Russia before Kyiv even gets a say, which the U.S. has since put on the table. It was, rather, a three-day halt to enable Russian troops and tanks to parade across Red Square undisturbed as they mark Moscow's victory over Nazi Germany in The Great Patriotic War (known elsewhere as World War II). The Kremlin will hope its offer keeps the U.S. engaged and diverts attention from the fact that it has been busy rejecting peace terms. It's probably right. As a former KGB handler, Putin knows a desperate man when he sees one. Trump's priority is to declare mission accomplished in Ukraine as soon as possible and move on. In an interview aired Sunday, Lavrov told CBS's Face The Nation it was "not conceivable' Russia would agree to the U.S. taking control of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as part of the deal, operating it together with Ukraine and supplying electricity to both sides of the ceasefire line. According to Lavrov, Moscow hadn't even been asked. Then, in an interview published Monday, Lavrov told Brazil's O Globo newspaper that Russia must gain international recognition for all of it's territorial claims in Ukraine. That means not just Crimea (annexed in 2014 and offered up by the U.S. as part of the draft settlement), but also the four provinces whose annexation Putin declared in 2022. His forces have been able to capture only parts of these after three years of war, so Ukraine would have to order its forces to withdraw from its own land. The territory Lavrov is asking Ukraine to give up would include not just Russian occupied parts of its Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, east of the Dnipro River, but also the two provincial capitals on the West bank. These cities have a combined peacetime population of more than 1 million and are important centers for Ukraine's steel industry and agriculture. If Russia were to take control of all Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, it would also then hold both sides of the Dnipro, the artery down which significant quantities of Ukrainian grain and other products pass to the country's Black Sea ports for export. Plus, Russia would gain bridgeheads for future military expansion on the far side of a river that in places measures over 1.6 kilometers wide. The Dnipro has proved a major military obstacle to both sides during the war. Lastly, what Lavrov is asking for would require Ukraine to give up the remaining parts of Donetsk province that Russia has been struggling to seize at vast cost. That includes Pokrovsk, an important transport hub and home to Ukraine's only mine producing coking coal, which it needs to make steel. Zelenskyy cannot possibly agree to these terms. To do so would make the economy un-investable and what remains of sovereign Ukraine vulnerable to another Russian invasion. Ukrainians would refuse even if he did. They understand that — contrary to the narrative in Moscow and Washington — this is a fight between master and colony that's gone on for centuries. It will end only if Russia is thwarted or if Ukraine ceases to exist. Trump wasn't wrong to sue for peace. He simply doomed the attempt by swallowing Russia's false claim that it's in search of a peace that's being frustrated by a radical regime in Kyiv. As I've written before, the U.S. administration doesn't have to take this road. There's room for a deal that still requires painful concessions from Zelenskyy, but also ensures a permanent end to Russia's invasion and leaves Ukraine secure, sovereign and investable. The U.S. has a strong hand to play in making clear to Putin that if he refuses, he won't be allowed to win the war. Trump should use the cards he has and stop letting himself get tapped along.

With song and seed, Brazil's Indigenous Maxakali confront climate change
Bertopolis, Brazil – The hottest region in Brazil is blanketed with guinea grass: thick, invasive and highly flammable. Black swaths of burned earth checkerboard the rolling hills — evidence of the fires that have increased along with the temperature. Yet enter the village of Pradinho, and a verdant patchwork emerges. Here, lush banana palms, cassava plants and guava trees sprout from the dry plains. These flourishing lots are the product of Hāmhi Terra Viva, an Indigenous-led agroforestry project in the eastern state of Minas Gerais where ancestral songs and traditions are woven into the planting process. Each oasis of trees, cultivated in backyard plots or large reforestation areas, signals a kind of rebirth for the local Maxakali people, also known as the Tikmũ'ũn. The Atlantic Forest, a complex ecosystem of rainforests, coastal broadleaf trees and mangroves, used to cover the Maxakali territory. Its dense canopy trapped in moisture and fostered one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. But the destruction of the Atlantic Forest has exacerbated the local effects of climate change — and with it, heightened the risks of wildfires. In Brazil, the Jequitinhonha Valley, where the four Maxakali territories are located, has suffered a dramatic rise in temperatures in recent years. Twenty Brazilian cities registered temperatures five degrees Celsius (nine degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the average daily maximum, according to 2023 government data analysed by the newspaper O Globo. Of those cities, 18 were in the Jequitinhonha Valley. The city of Araçuaí even shattered the record for the hottest temperature in Brazil's history in November of that year, with thermometers rising to 44.8 degrees Celsius — or 112.6 degrees Fahrenheit. It lies a mere 130km (81 miles) from Maxakali territory. 'We are in the epicentre of the climate crisis in Brazil,' said Rosângela Pereira de Tugny, coordinator of the Hāmhi project.
