Plenty. A Dubois punch on the belt line called low by the referee knocked Usyk off his feet in the fifth round of a fight the Ukrainian went on to win. The Dubois camp has called Usyk a "conman" in the build-up to the rematch as they claim the Cat made far too much of the shot they're determined was legal. Usyk's performance was questioned initially after feeling the full force of Dubois' dynamite fists to the body. Eventually, the Ukrainian came through to stop the Brit in the ninth round, but only after getting a full five minutes to recover from a blow ruled low but looked on the belt line at best. Dubois' successes since, including a savage destruction of Anthony Joshua at Wembley last September, have made Usyk's win look a little better since. He possesses raw power, but can he get to Usyk, the supreme boxer and mover who toys with opponents as well-schooled as Tyson Fury. In a pre-fight interview with DAZN, Dubois has said he and his team worked tireless on that body shot and he remains adamant that it was a legal punch. "I thought it landed" Dubois said. "We worked on that shot for a long time in camp. I feel like they robbed me." The 29-year-old, on a three-fight knockout run, is looking for a similar shot three years on. "He's been down a few times with body shots. This time I've got to throw the kitchen sink at him, land everywhere."I feel like that fight and the training camp I did for that fight helped me massively for the next three fights I had so I feel like I'm a better fighter now, more improved, better condition." Usyk has looked unusually emotional in his interviews, with rumors the often unflappable Ukrainian may be considering his future in the ring after this fight continuing to swirl. No, there are no free Usyk vs Dubois 2 live streams. You'll need to pay for the PPV to watch the action as it happens. To be fair it's pretty reasonably priced for a huge boxing bout, and if you buy from DAZN you get a 7-day free trial included in the price. Just remember to cancel before the 7 days are up else you will be charged for a monthly subscription.

2020 northeast Delhi riots aimed at dividing country, say cops; oppose bail
NEW DELHI: The 2020 riots in northeast Delhi were not spontaneous but a well-planned and well-thought-out conspiracy aimed at creating divisions on religious lines and embarrassing the country globally, the Delhi police told the Delhi high court on Wednesday, arguing against bail to student activists Gulfisha Fatima, Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid, and United Against Hate (UAH) founder Khalid Saifi. New Delhi: A man walks past the charred remains of vehicles set ablaze by rioters at parking during the anti-CAA protests in February at Shiv Vihar area of Northeast Delhi (PTI) Solicitor General Tushar Mehta who appeared for the Delhi police, urged the bench of justices Navin Chawla and Shailender Kaur to not treat the case as a case of 'mere riots' but as one where the accused had conspired to cause communal divide, and destabilise India's unity, law and order. The bench has reserved its verdict. 'One of the intentions was to globally defame our nation by choosing a particular date for more rioting, arson. It's not a spontaneous riot. This is a case where riots were pre-planned, well-orchestrated, organised with the view to achieve the sinister goal of dividing the country on religious lines. The intention was to cause embarrassment at a global level since the same were committed on a day when the United States of America Donald Trump was to visit the capital,' Mehta submitted. The top law officer said the objective of the riots, in which 100 police personnel and others were injured and one policeman lost his life, was to defame the country Northeast Delhi erupted in violence on February 23, 2020, following clashes between Hindus and Muslims over the then-proposed Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) that left 53 dead and hundreds injured. The accused – which include jailed student activist Sharjeel Imam, Gulfisha Fatima, former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student leader Umar Khalid, United Against Hate (UAH) founder Khalid Saifi – were booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). They approached the high court for bail after the trial court rejected their request. They argued that they had spent more than four years in custody and that the trial's slow pace made prolonged incarceration unjustifiable. They also asserted that they are entitled to be released on bail on the grounds of parity with co-accused Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha, who were granted bail by the high court in 2021. At Wednesday's hearing, Mehta insisted that prolonged incarceration could not be a ground for release on bail, in a case where the accused intended to cause violence in the capital and break the country into two parts. 'It's not a riot case where someone can get bail for prolonged incarceration. Prolonged incarceration is held in some cases to be ground enough per se for grant of bail but in the matter of this nature, where the capital bleeds violence and the country breaks into two parts, the same is not applicable. If you're doing something against the nation, you better be in jail until you are acquitted or convicted,' Mehta submitted. He also submitted that the Delhi police had done a good job and recorded statements of almost 58 witnesses before the magistrate.

Ukraine's Ministry of Health signs deal to rebuild Okhmatdyt hospital after missile strike
A contract has been signed for the renovation of the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv. Source: Ministry of Health of Ukraine Details: "Following the procurement procedure conducted on the Prozorro system, an agreement was signed for the overhaul of the modern medical and diagnostic building of the Okhmatdyt Research and Development Centre. The winner of the tender was Riola-Module Ltd, which offered the most cost-effective bid of nearly UAH 293 million [approx. US$7 million - ed.]," the statement said. [Prozorro system is a public electronic procurement system where state and municipal customers announce tenders to purchase goods for the opportunity to become a state supplier – ed.] The Ministry estimated the cost of procurement to be UAH 367.4 million (US$8.8 million), which would enable savings of over UAH 70 million (US$1.6 million). The contractor has experience in both the constructing and reconstructing of medical facilities and was previously responsible for the construction of a building for Okhmatdyt in 2020, the Ministry reports. An authorised hospital representative conducted a thorough review of the participant's documentation, with support from the international engineering company Eptisa Servicios de Ingeniería, which serves as the client's service provider, the Ministry states. The engineering company, Academ Bud, will undertake the technical supervision of the renovation, which will cost UAH 2 million (US$48,134). A further UAH 1.5 million (US$36,100) will be put towards the author's supervision, which will be conducted by the Engineering Company Arkon, which developed the project documentation prior to the overhaul. "Funding for the restoration and technical supervision will be provided by the Charitable Foundation Okhmatdyt, which collected a significant portion of donations from Ukrainians in 2024. These funds will be used to restore the hospital for its intended purpose," the Ministry of Health reports. The contractor has begun completing additional surveys and is taking necessary measurements at the site to ensure the prompt start of construction work, according to the report. Background: Okhmatdyt suffered damage from a Russian missile attack on 8 July 2024. Last autumn, Health Minister Viktor Liashko announced that construction work to restore the main building of the children's hospital was expected to begin in spring 2025. It was previously reported that Okhmatdyt's Research and Development Laboratory initiated procurement for the overhaul of the medical and diagnostic complex damaged by the missile attack. The lowest bid, UAH 293 million (US$7 million), was submitted by Riola-Module Ltd. Three participants competed for the procurement: Riola-Module Ltd, Ukrainian Production and Construction Alliance Centre, and PBF Consortium. It was also reported that funds used or contracted for rebuilding Okhmatdyt after the missile attack total UAH 36.2 million (US$872,000). The total funding allocated by The Howard G. Buffett Foundation for Okhmatdyt's restoration is approximately UAH 1.416 billion (US$34 million) and US$11.2 million. Of these, over UAH 337 million (US$8 million, including US$1 million from the Lithuanian government) was received directly by Okhmatdyt's account, and approximately UAH 379 million (US$9.1 million) was received by the Okhmatdyt Charitable Foundation. UAH 320 million was raised through a joint fundraising campaign led by United24 and Monobank, UAH 300 million (US$7.2 million) was allocated from the Ukrainian state budget, and UAH 80 million (US$1.9 million) to address the attack's consequences was collected by the Tabletochki Foundation.

Presentation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Performance Metrics In addition to the results provided in accordance with IFRS throughout this press release, Kyivstar Group has provided the non-IFRS financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (the 'Non-IFRS Financial Measures'), as well as key performance indicators mobile ARPU, multiplay customers and total digital MAU. Kyivstar Group defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, impairment, gain/loss on disposals of non-current assets, net foreign exchange gain and other non-operating gains/losses, net. Kyivstar Group defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total operating revenues. Kyivstar Group uses the Non-IFRS Financial Measures in addition to its results determined in accordance with IFRS in order to evaluate its financial and operating performance, to generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. Kyivstar Group believes that the Non-IFRS Financial Measures may be helpful to investors because they provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating its ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies operating in similar industries because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. The Non-IFRS Financial Measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of the Kyivstar Group financial results in accordance with IFRS. The Non-IFRS Financial Measures may not be comparable to other similarly entitled measures computed by other companies. The following table presents reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the most directly comparable IFRS financial performance measures, which are profit for the period and profit margin, respectively: (USD in millions) Income taxes 14 9 Depreciation 31 31 Amortization 13 12 Impairment, net 2 1 Finance costs 21 21 Finance income (7) (8) Other non-operating gain/(loss), net 1 (1) Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain 21 (8) 17% 19% 55% 50% Key Performance Indicators Mobile ARPU measures the monthly average revenue per mobile user. Kyivstar Group calculates mobile ARPU by dividing its mobile service revenue (excluding guest roaming and wholesale interconnection revenue) during the relevant period by the average number of its mobile customers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period. Mobile service revenue used to calculate mobile ARPU excludes guest roaming and wholesale interconnection revenue, as this revenue is not generated by Kyivstar Group's customers but are proceeds received by other operators for the services received by its subscribers. Multiplay customers are doubleplay 4G customers who also used one or more of Kyivstar Group's digital products at any time during the one month prior to such measurement date. Total digital MAU is a gross total cumulative MAU of applications offered. Under this metric, a single individual who is active in more than one application is counted as a separate MAU under each such application, such that the total digital MAUs may include individuals being counted more than once.
