After 39 days and 45 matches, the long group stage of the Cricket World Cup is over and four teams remain in the running for the title.It’s India vs. New Zealand and South Africa vs. Australia in the semifinals this week.Before that, it’s time to have a look at the big storylines to emerge from the tournament:HOME ADVANTAGEPlaying at home has never been so important in 50-over World Cups. The nation that was host or co-host has won the last three tournaments — India in 2011, Australia in 2015 and England in 2019 — and the Indians have swept through the group stage of this edition with nine straight wins in front of their own fans. They knew the conditions the best, they are most aware of the benefits of batting first or chasing in all venues, and are most comfortable in the environment. Before 2011, only once had a host nation won the event — Sri Lanka in the 1996 tournament it co-hosted with Pakistan and India, and the Sri Lankans only staged two games in total amid sec...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:33:02 GMT

PARIS — Si la police française a pu investir dans de nouveaux équipements de surveillance grâce à l’argent versé par le Royaume-Uni pour la protection de la frontière à Calais, elle a aussi utilisé ces fonds pour s’équiper en matériel de la vie quotidienne : aspirateurs, micro-ondes ou encore chargeurs de téléphone. C’est ce qu’a pu constater POLITICO dans des documents inédits obtenus du ministère de l’Intérieur par voie judiciaire et détaillant les dépenses réalisées dans le cadre du traité de Sandhurst, négocié en 2018 entre Emmanuel Macron et la Première ministre britannique de l’époque, Theresa May. Ces documents révèlent aussi les décomptes réalisés par la police faisant le bilan des tentatives de franchissement de la Manche. Ils n’ont été communiqués que mi-octobre, après une condamnation du tribunal administratif ; notre demande avait été faite en 2021. L’argent britannique représente 10% du budget total de la France pour la protection de ses fron...
