“We effectively have a single army, with the Belarusian military forming its backbone in the western direction,” Lukashenko said. “If, God forbid, a war starts, the Belarusian army will be the first to engage in the fight, and the western group of Russia’s armed forces will join quickly after to form a joint defense.” Lukashenko announced Wednesday that Belarus is expecting to soon receive a large batch of Russian weapons, including combat jets, helicopters and air defense missile systems....

Alexander Zverev, ranked No. 5, had a dominant campaign at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, dropping only one set en route to winning a gold medal for his country. The German defeated World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, before swatting aside Russia’s Karen Khachanov in straight sets in the championship match. In the aftermath of his victory, Zverev claimed that winning gold for his country at the quadrennial event was perhaps the “greatest thing you can achieve in sport”....

The Democratic congresswoman, who is currently campaigning to represent New York’s 14th district for a second term, is a vocal advocate for policies—such as expanded healthcare access—that prominent Republican figures like Rubio associate with “socialist” principles. A Florida senator since 2011 and former Republican presidential candidate, Rubio has spoken publicly about his opposition to “Democratic socialism,” as Ocasio-Cortez and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders have described themselves, a handful of times....

The Chile international acknowledged two crimes against the Treasury which took place while he was on the books of Barcelona between 2012 and 2013, with Europa Press reporting an overall value of €983,443. ‘Alexis not a Costa problem’ Alexis made his declaration on Monday via video link, with the hearing lasting only a couple of minutes. Reports suggest that the 28-year-old has already returned the money he owes and will likely be handed a fine rather than be put on trial....

With the 28-year-old heading towards the final 12 months of his current contract and no extension talks planned until the summer, uncertainty continues to shroud his future at Emirates Stadium. Welbeck can offer more than just goals Several leading sides from across Europe have been mooted as potential landing spots for the South American, with Bayern the latest to head that particular queue. Former Germany international Lehmann believes Sanchez would be a solid addition for the Bundesliga champions, although he acknowledges that they are already well-stocked in wide areas with Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery on the books....

Coutinho in Liverpool contract talks The Chile international has been a key component of Arsene Wenger’s side so far this season, netting 17 times as they have established themselves in the top four of England’s top flight and progressed once again to the Champions League last 16. But his failure to extend his stay at the Emirates Stadium, which is currently due to end in June 2018, has been the source of some concern among the club’s support, and even Pires has confessed that the player is not certain he will be put pen to paper....

A Goncalo Guedes brace and Bruno Fernandes’ strike sank the Algerians and condemned Madjer to an overal record of just two victories, a draw and four defeats since taking over from Spaniard Lucas Alcaraz last November. Preceding this defeat were other losses to Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Iran. European champions Portugal featured Real Madrid star and captain Cristiano Ronaldo who set up Fernandes’ goal. With Portugal going to the World Cup in Russia as one of the teams tipped to contend, Madjer settled for an easy justification for the defeat....

After breaking ties, Algiers moved to deepen the crisis it had created. On September 22, for instance, Algeria closed its airspace to the Moroccan kingdom. Moreover, the Algerian government announced that on the 30th of this month, it would shut its gas pipeline running through Morocco to Spain and Portugal, a move directed against its western neighbor. Escalating disputes between the two North African countries strike many as inconsequential. As Moroccan analyst Samir Bennis wrote for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, “To be sure, the Algerian decision to sever ties with Morocco is in many ways a non-event, as diplomatic relations between the two countries have been frozen for most of the last 27 years....

Not one to miss an opportunity, Conor McGregor posted a meme to poke fun at the Dagestani and his conservative beliefs. It appears Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager and Dominance MMA CEO Ali Abdelaziz has fired back at the Irishman with a tweet of his own. Abdelaziz’s tweet read: Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor are about as different as night and day. Not only are their fighting styles a classic case of grappling against striking, but their mannerisms, demeanor, and beliefs are opposite to each other....

Alienware AW2518HF: price Although it’s not at all cheap (but then no Alienware kit is) the AW2518HF is a whopping £200 less than its AW2518H brother that offers Nvidia G-Sync technology. That means the G-Sync model is nearly 60 percent more expensive, or to put it another way the AW2518H costs the same as an AW2518HF and a Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB Pulse Graphics Card combined. Therefore the AW2518HF will attract those gamers who haven’t already invested in an Nvidia graphics card and would like a very high refresh screen to exploit the high frame rates their rig can generate....

To earn rewards in other battle royale shooters, like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone, you normally have to perform exceedingly well in online matches or level-up through some kind of progression system (like a battle pass for instance). There is often a second option too, which enables you to bypass all of that and instantly unlock your desired items by just spending real-world money. Garena Free Fire is a little different in that respect, as freebies are given away all the time via 12-digit codes, similar to the ones featured in Dead by Daylight....

The Valorant community has been eagerly waiting for a new Act. Valorant recently introduced Episode 3 Act 2, titled Reflection, in late June 2021, on the occasion of their first anniversary. A new episode, with three Acts, is introduced biannually periodically. Valorant Episode 3 Act 2 was initially supposed to be released on 24 August 2021, with the end of Act 1, however, that has been postponed to around September 8....

For those that don’t know, Frieza is an evil emperor, hell-bent on conquering planets and adding them to his empire. He does so with ruthless tactics, not hesitating to kill those that work for him or those that stand against him. Frieza is even responsible for the destruction of Planet Vegeta and the near extinction of the Saiyan race, and his power is leagues beyond anything that fans had seen in the series thus far....

Rising COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in California and across the U.S. are expected to get even worse in the coming weeks following the Thanksgiving holiday. California Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday encouraged Californians to comply with one more stay-at-home order as they await access to a COVID-19 vaccine, the distribution of which could begin before the end of the year if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves one for emergency use by mid-December....

Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg made the announcement during the Call of Duty XP event in Los Angeles. He also explained that even though all 16 Call of Duty 4 maps are making a comeback, not all of them will be available at launch. The 10 maps originally confirmed for the remaster will be available on November 4th, with the other six released in December as DLC. The knee-jerk reaction some might have to this news is that Activision is trying to milk its consumers for more money by selling the rest of the maps as post-launch DLC....

Sure enough, on Sunday, Nov. 14, Mannesmann received a “friendly” 103 billion euro offer from Vodafone. No sale, countered Esser when they met that day; we’re worth twice that. The two men parted, to spend the week feverishly canvassing their shareholders and campaigning in the press and in detailed conference calls with analysts. Esser went to court to block Vodafone from using Goldman, Sachs as an adviser, accusing the investment bank of a conflict of interest because of some earlier work it had done for Mannesmann....
