After beating PSG, Bayern switches focus to Bundesliga

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 23:46:35 GMT

MUNICH (AP) — With Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé out of the way, Bayern Munich can now switch focus to getting the edge on German league rival Borussia Dortmund.The “Klassiker” between Bayern and Dortmund isn’t until April 1, but the two teams are even on points at the top of the Bundesliga and each has a potentially tricky game against a local rival this weekend.Augsburg may not seem to be much of a challenge for a Bayern team which beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 on aggregate in the Champions League. However, Augsburg has won two of its last four games against Bayern and has a history of taking points off its larger Bavarian neighbor at inconvenient times.Besides the morale boost of beating PSG, Wednesday’s game in Munich brought some encouraging signs for Bayern and coach Julian Nagelsmann ahead of Saturday’s game against Augsburg.Josip Stanišić in particular did well in defense to contain Mbappé in place of the suspended Benjamin Pavard, but may be expected to gi...

Corona baby bump? First uptick in EU births since 2016, data shows

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 23:46:35 GMT

Eurostat data released Thursday shows 4.09 million babies were born in the European Union in 2021 — a 20,000 increase from 2020.This uptick is the first increase in the number of births in the EU since 2016.Although the lockdown measures implemented throughout Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic had led to speculation as to whether these would lead to a birth surge, birth rates actually decreased in 2020, before rising again in 2021 in some countries. This caused some scientists to believe people had simply waited for the initial shock of the pandemic to pass to have children. The fertility rate (the average number of children a woman is projected to have over her lifetime) also increased for the first time since 2016, with an EU average of 1.53 live births per woman — up from 1.50 in 2020. France had the highest fertility rate in Europe, with 1.84 live births per woman, while Malta had the lowest at 1.13 live births per woman.

French judge drops embezzlement case against Sylvie Goulard

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 23:46:35 GMT

PARIS — A French judge dropped a case Thursday against former French minister and ex-MEP Sylvie Goulard involving misuse of public funds, AFP reported citing people close to the matter. Back in 2019, Goulard was French President Emmanuel Macron’s top pick as EU commissioner, but the European Parliament rejected her appointment following two parliamentary hearings in which she faced questions on allegations that she used a European Parliament assistant for domestic political work. Her work for a U.S. think tank as well as the size of her portfolio were also called into question.At that time, several MEPs cited “integrity” and “ethical aspects” as reasons to reject her as a potential commissioner. Others suspected that the European People’s Party (EPP) wanted to exact revenge on Macron after he torpedoed EPP group leader Manfred Weber’s campaign for the European Commission presidency.After Goulard’s rejection, Macron backed Thierry Breto...
