Vinicius dazzled against Morocco and Haiti, helping Brazil top Group C with four points after his stunning equalizer and playmaking masterclass under coach Carlo Ancelotti.

A French court sentenced 19-year-old Afghan asylum seeker Massoud S. to 30 months in prison for sexually assaulting five goats and a six-month-old lamb at Le Refuge d'un Moment near Marseille between February and April 2026. Staff noticed injuries like rope marks, bleeding, and burns; cameras caught him in the act on April 9, and police arrested him the next night with DNA evidence confirming the crimes. He claimed the acts prevented him from raping a woman since animals couldn't identify him, but the court convicted him of sexual assault and serious cruelty, adding a lifetime ban from France and sex offender registration. Sortino described the ordeal as psychologically hard for her team, who felt they failed to protect the animals.

Iranian accounts claim construction started last week on the 657-kilometer Herat-Mazar-e-Sharif railway in Afghanistan, built by Iranian firms and funded by local minerals for a seamless connection to China. Proponents see it as a sanctions workaround via the Five Nations Corridor, potentially slashing trade distances by 50% and opening paths for pipelines. No confirmation comes from Iran's Railways, Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Works, or state media, despite recent Tehran talks on June 8 and ongoing feasibility studies. The project follows years of delays, with security and funding hurdles still in play.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Social media lights up with reports of shovels breaking ground on a key Afghan rail line linking Iran to China. But official voices remain silent so far.

A UN official told the Security Council this week that Taliban bans since September 2021 block girls from secondary schools, universities, and most jobs, with primary enrollment dropping amid travel restrictions and strict dress codes. Over 2.6 million adolescent girls are affected, 250,000 more each year, fueling underground home schools by activists and protests met with crackdowns. A nationwide survey shows 92% of Afghans support girls' secondary education, while health crises like clinic closures worsen maternal deaths, and UNICEF warns of losing 25,000 female teachers and health workers by 2030.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine 3.8 million girls aged 7 to 18 dreaming of classrooms, yet barred by Taliban rules five years after their 2021 takeover. It's a crisis leaving Afghanistan as the only country systematically excluding girls from secondary education.
