The 26-year-old forward plays for Portuguese champions Benfica Mexico’s Russia 2017 debut will pitch him against domestic friends and foes Jimenez not unlike Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of physical prowess By Martin Langer with Mexico Mexico will not be lacking in motivation when they take on Portugal in their opening match at the FIFA Confederations Cup Russia 2017. But if there is one member of the  Tri  squad for whom Sunday’s game is especially meaningful, then it is Raul Jimenez. After all, his links with Portugal extend far beyond the Group A meeting. To start with, the Mexico No9 is an idol at Benfica, having scored a number of crucial goals in helping the club win back-to-back Portuguese league titles. There are few more authoritative voices, therefore, when it comes to analysing Mexico’s tournament opener against  A Seleção das Quinas . “It’s going to be special,” he said without a trace of doubt in his voice. “I’ll be up against three of my club-ma...

Holly Holm knew her back was up against a wall after losing three straight fights in the UFC. It had been a roller coaster ride for Holm after she became an overnight sensation with a second-round knockout against Ronda Rousey in 2015, but she failed to capture that same level of success in her past few fights. Still, Holm had faced nothing but the best fighters in the world during that stretch so she knew that with a few minor adjustments, she could get back to the top of her division. A third-round knockout against former title contender Bethe Correia definitely did the trick as Holm returned to form on Saturday in Singapore. It was an emotional win for Holm while also earning her second head-kick knockout in the UFC. While Correia is typically the aggressor in her fights, she sat back on her heels a little more in the opening round while trying to avoid the counter striking from Holm. Holm still landed the better strikes as she made an adjustment in her game plan...

17日午前2時25分ごろ、静岡県下田市の南東約20キロの沖合で、フィリピン船籍のコンテナ船から「アメリカ海軍の船と衝突した」と第3管区海上保安本部（横浜）に通報があった。同本部や米海軍によると、イージス艦は右舷の艦橋付近の損傷が大きく、乗組員3人が負傷、7人が行方不明になった。 衝突したのは米海軍横須賀基地所属のイージス艦「フィッツジェラルド」（全長154メートル、8315トン）と、日本郵船がチャーターしたコンテナ船「ACX　CRYSTAL」（全長222.6メートル、2万9060トン）。 3管は行方が分からないイージス艦の乗組員が衝突時に海に転落した可能性があるとみて、救助活動を行った。米海軍によると、イージス艦の男性艦長ら3人が負傷し、米海軍横須賀基地の海軍病院にヘリコプターで搬送された。容体は安定しているという。コンテナ船のフィリピン人乗組員は全員無事で自力で航行している。 　海上保安庁は業務上過失往来危険容疑を視野に、事故当時の状況を調べる方針。海上衝突予防法では、相手の船を右に見る船舶に回避義務がある。イージス艦とコンテナ船それぞれの位置関係や針路、見張りが十分だったかなどが焦点になる。 　衝突時、コンテナ船は名古屋港から東京方向へ向かって航行中。インターネット上で公開されている船舶自動識別装置（AIS）の記録によると、コンテナ船は事故直前には18ノット（時速約33キロ）前後で東向きに航行していたが、午前2時ごろに減速し始め、反時計回りにUターンした。イージス艦側の針路は判明していない。 　衝突したフィッツジェラルドの右舷中央付近は、何かにぶつかったように内側にへこみ、構造物が大きく破損した。浸水した海水を外に出すためか、甲板にはホースが出されていた。一方、コンテナ船にも船体前部の左側に、衝突したような痕が残っていた。 　フィッツジェラルドは弾道ミサイルの対処能力があり、北朝鮮のミサイル警戒任務にもあたっている。4月に日本海で行われた海上自衛隊との共同訓練にも参加していた。 　日本郵船は事故を受け、社内に対策本部を立ち上げたと発表した。「船主と連携して海上保安庁の捜査に全面的に協力する」としている。

President Donald Trump declared Friday he was restoring some travel and economic restrictions on Cuba that were lifted as part of the Obama administration's historic easing. He challenged the communist government of Raul Castro to negotiate a better deal for Cubans and Cuban-Americans. Announcing the rollback of President Barack Obama's diplomatic opening during a speech in Miami, Trump said Cuba had secured far too many concessions from the U.S. in the "one-sided" deal but "now those days are over." He said penalties on Cuba would remain in place until its government releases political prisoners, stops abusing dissidents and respects freedom of expression. "America has rejected the Cuban people's oppressors," Trump said in a crowded, sweltering auditorium. "They are rejected officially today — rejected." 0:00 / 2:16 Thou...
