Donald Trump has reignited his feud with Megan Rapinoe, hitting out at the football icon after the USA lost to Sweden in the Women’s World Cup. Defending champions USA suffered a shock loss after being knocked out on penalties at the last-16 stage in a dramatic shoot-out. It marks the first time the USA have failed to make it to the semi-finals of the competition. The game went to penalties after the match finished goalless after 120 minutes. During the shootout, Rapinoe sent her penalty high over the bar. Trump, who has hit out at Rapinoe on plenty of occasions in the past, took to Truth Social to criticise Rapinoe after the final result. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter He wrote: “The 'shocking and totally unexpected' loss by the U.S. Women's Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to the our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden [sic],' wrote Trump on social media. “Many of our players were openly hostile to America - No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close.” He added: “WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. “Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA.” Rapinoe and Trump have been critical of each other on numerous occasions in the past. Back in 2021, Rapinoe hit back at Donald Trump’s claim Team USA would have won a gold medal if they were not so “woke”. “If our soccer team, headed by a radical group of Leftist Maniacs, wasn’t woke, they would have won the Gold Medal instead of the Bronze.” Asked about his comments, Rapinoe said: “It’s a real sad dig into an old bag. “I’m just like, ‘You’re rooting for people to do bad?’ Yikes.” Trump singled out Rapinoe in his statement at the time, adding: “The woman with the purple hair played terribly and spends too much time thinking about Radical Left politics and not doing her job!” In 2019, Rapinoe also said that she was “not going to the f***ing White House” if invited by Mr Trump to celebrate the USWNT World Cup win Have your say in our news democracy.

Passengers attempting to get some shut-eye on one flight appeared to have their plans spoiled as a child on the plane wore a bright hat with flashing lights that illuminated the cabin. As a result of the video going viral, some people are now calling for child-free flights for a more peaceful flight experience. In the viral TikTok clip posted by @malecastellonn, the camera first panned to the passengers on board behind, before it slowly moved around to the left as bright flashes of light appeared like something out of a nightclub or rave. The camera then focused on the child with the dazzling multicoloured bunny hat where the ears then popped upwards, while they sat with a parent as both looked at the camera simultaneously. Since posting the TikTok, it has received over 6.7m views, with people sharing in the comments how fuming they would be if they were a passenger on the particular flight. One person said: "I would go insane." "Imagine trying to sleep and all of a sudden the plane turns into a rave," another person wrote. A third person added: "I hope she didn’t keep that on for the whole flight that’s quite bright no one wants to deal with that for hours on end someone could have epilepsy." "That would literally make me feel ill on a flight," a fourth person commented. Someone else replied: "No joke I'd probably cry because that looks like a long flight plane…" Even a flight attendant weighed in after seeing the video to provide her verdict on the situation where she too agreed the hat wasn't an appropriate place to be worn. "As a flight attendant, I’d say put that away. There are people trying to rest, read, watch a movie etc. Also, there are people with disabilities, and this can be incredibly annoying and irritating for them. “Leave stuff like this for home or amusement parks.

The Russian envoy attending the United Nations Security Council meeting on president Vladimir Putin’s behalf was told to “stop the war” after he objected to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech on Wednesday. Russia’s ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia protested the council president’s decision to allow Mr Zelensky to speak before the 15 council members. “We would like to ask you on what basis you are proposing to allow president Zelensky to speak before the members of the council, many of whom are represented by the heads of states and governments,” the Russian envoy said, accusing the Albanian state of demonstrating “open disregard for the procedures and practices of the UN security council”. Albanian prime minister Edi Rama shot back at the Russian leader: “I must say that coming from you all this lecture of violating the rules in this building is quite an impressive shot.” “You stop the war and president Zelensky will not take the floor,” he said, after noting the objection flagged by the Russian leader over the Ukrainian leader speaking before the council members had addressed the meeting. Mr Rama also cited the council rule allowing a non-member to speak first and added that “this is not a special operation by the Albanian presidency”, eliciting laughter with a quip about Russia’s insistence on referring to its offensive against Ukraine as a “special military operation”. Another heated exchange erupted at the table after Mr Nebenzia referred to Mr Rama as Albania’s prime minister and a Nato member instead of as the council president but Mr Rama declared: “I take note, and we’ll continue with our session.” Shortly after, Mr Zelensky took to X and thanked the Albanian leader for “correctly handling Russia” as he shared a video clip of the heated exchange. “Dear @EdiRamaal, today at the UNSC you showed the world how to correctly handle Russia, its lies, and its hypocrisy. I thank you for steering the presidency in such a principled manner,” he said on Twitter. The second day of the UN meeting in New York was flooded with speculations on the Ukrainian president and Russia’s top diplomat Sergei Lavrov clashing for the first time in person since the invasion in Ukraine started in February last year. The two were either expected to clash, speak or totally avoid each other. In the end, Mr Zelensky and Sergei Lavrov avoided staring each other down across the UN Security Council’s famous horseshoe-shaped table as the former left before Mr Lavrov arrived. Mr Zelensky denounced Russia as “a terrorist state” while Russian ambassador Vassily Nebenzia sat facing him near the other end of the table’s arc. As the Ukrainian president launched into his remarks, the Russian briefly looked at his phone, then tucked the device away. Mr Zelensky left before Mr Lavrov’s arrival, which happened as US secretary of state Antony Blinken was accusing Russia of having “shredded” key provisions of the UN Charter. Mr Lavrov blamed the West for “a shaking of global stability as well as the exacerbation and the fomenting of new hotbeds of tension”. He said “the US and its satellites have egregiously and openly interfered in the domestic affairs of Ukraine,” heightening the risks of global conflict. He insisted that Russia has “fully” respected the provisions of the UN charter “in an interconnected way”.
