Liverpool saw off Manchester City in a Champions League sequel that was even better than last week's original
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/pep-guardiola-lost-it-big-12340750
Jurgen Klopp celebrated with the Liverpool fans at the final whistle as if they had won the European Cup.
And yet no-one can begrudge them one hell of a party, because this is the sort of victory which will make the Reds believe they can win it.
We never thought these two would be able to trump last week’s first leg. But the sequel was even better.
It was breathless and ¬brilliant in equal measure as Manchester City gave everything - and somehow Liverpool triumphed to make the Champions League's semi-finals after an incredible white-knuckle ride.
For all of City’s hard-luck stories - and there will be a few - the brutal reality is that they have been absolutely destroyed over the course of two games.
Typically, it was Mohamed Salah with his 39th goal of the season who stepped up and scored the most important of all the six scored over the course of 180 pulsating and brilliant minutes.

FARC vs DEA: what’s next?
https://colombiareports.com/colombia-arrests-farc-leader-on-us-drug-trafficking-claims/
All eyes are on Colombia’s transitional justice system after the country’s chief prosecutor ordered the arrest of a political leader of demobilized FARC guerrillas on drug trafficking charges. The Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), the court in place as part of a peace process with the rebels, can decide to allow or block the extradition of “Jesus Santrich” to the United States. The FARC have warned about the consequences of an extradition, claiming the group’s long-time ideologue was been framed by the DEA and the Prosecutor General’s Office.
Scenario 1: court allows extradition
If the prosecution is able to demonstrate that Santrich was involved in the alleged export of 10 metric tons of cocaine after the signing of a peace deal it may forward the case to an ordinary court. The prosecution has published audio and images with which it said it could demonstrate Santrich took part in the export of 10 metric tons of cocaine to the US. American authorities are reportedly set to file a formal extradition request after already calling on Interpol countries for the arrest of the FARC leader. The FARC, which handed in thousands of weapons last year, has warned about the consequences of a possible extradition. Before this can happen, however, the ordinary justice system will have to approve the extradition, which could take months.
Scenario 2: court denies the extradition
The court could decide to block the extradition against the wishes of the Prosecutor general, who on several cases has clashed with the FARC over the transitional justice system. If the court considers that the evidence surrendered by the Prosecutor General’s Office does not prove Santrich’s alleged violation of demobilization terms that disallow criminal activity. A court refusal would likely be rejected by the country’s conservative parties that believe the war crimes tribunal is too lenient for guerrillas and too harsh on members of the military.

Trump's incoherent, dangerous policy on Syria, as laid out in tweets

# data[].attributes.body
On Wednesday, a day of growing peril in a part of the world where Russian and American forces sometimes confront each other, the president who campaigned on never telegraphing his intensions to adversaries decided to taunt Russia with the threat of a missile attack. “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria,” President Trump tweeted Wednesday morning as an anxious world watched to see if the Syrian crisis will escalate out of control. “Get ready, Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart.’”

President Trump’s tweets fly in the face of the norms that even during the Cold War kept the two great nuclear powers from needlessly provoking each other. They risk further inflaming a conflict that has already drawn in regional and world powers in a dizzying nest of alignments. With the common enemy the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on the brink of defeat, those opposing forces are increasingly coming into conflict as they jockey for position and territorial control inside Syria.

Colombia declares plan for country’s 1st protected river.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Scientists from the Humbolt Research Institute for Biological Resources will travel to Colombia's southeastern state of Vichada on Saturday, to begin an initiative to protect an unspoiled tributary of the Orinoco river, and to draw attention to the region's great biodiversity.

According to a press release issued Monday, researchers from the Institute will arrive in Puerto Carreño, Vichada, on Saturday, to share the results of their research in the region. At the same time, they will launch the Alliance for Bita River in collaboration with Corporinoquia, the Omacha Foundation, the Palmarito Foundation, Foundation Orinoco, and WWF, institutions that have been active in the region for several years.

The Bita River is a tributary of the Orinoco River, and crosses the state of Vichada from west to east. Although very few studies have been conducted in this particular area, experts have listed Bita as one of the healthiest and most biodiverse of Colombian tributaries.

The press release quotes the director of the Omacha Foundation, dedicated to protecting ecosystems in Vichada, as saying: "In [the Bita] basin there are jaguars, dolphins, tapirs and many species of turtles. 80% of ornamental fish exported by the country come from this area, and at least 600 anglers from around the world visit each year. We know there is a great scientific, tourist, and conservation potential through cooperation with residents."

In the long term, the Alliance seeks to declare the Bita River as the first protected river in the country, as well as develop and implement a conservation policy that is replicable for other rivers in Colombia.

Director of the Humboldt Institute, Brigitte Baptiste, told El Espectador that given the environmental degradation suffered by major tributaries such as Magdalena and Bogotá, which "have been turned into sewers by Colombians," several experts are insisting that the country should protect certain tributaries that flow into these major rivers, to "slow the death of important ecosystems."

Colombia still fails to live up to the international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) basic environmental protection standards, although it has courted membership with the organization for years.

According to an April 10 environmental review by the OECD, Colombia's natural heritage as one of the world's most bio-diverse countries is coming under increasing pressure from extractive industries, livestock grazing, urbanization and car use.

To close Pueblito Paisa would be a massive injustice’

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The perpetual regeneration that drives a global city provides a constant tension between old and new. Five miles north of the Thames, adjacent to Seven Sisters tube station, one of the more egregious examples of the friction that change can bring is being played out.

Here, within a vast Edwardian structure, more than 100 Latin American traders have transformed a crime-ridden locale into a bustling hive more reminiscent of downtown Bogotá than a down-at-heel strip of inner-London Haringey. Shouts in Spanish ring out above the sizzling of aborrajado ( deep-fried stuffed plantains). A group of men avidly watch highlights of the recent Atlético Nacional match. The aroma of Colombian coffee hangs in the air.

Soon, though, London's Latin American village may fall silent. Next month the government must decide whether to back a compulsory purchase order by Haringey council - already controversial because of divisions over a nearby redevelopment scheme. The move would force the village to relocate.

The new development's advocates describe a 40,000 sq ft site that will revitalise the area, creating hundreds of jobs and almost 200 homes, even if none will be officially considered affordable. The village traders remain unimpressed. Some claim the council is discriminating against its Latino contingent. Others say the development represents a betrayal of London's billing as the most multicultural place on Earth.

Last Thursday, a crowdfunding bid to continue legal action against the plans passed its initial target, further articulating the strength of local feeling. Even the UN has waded in: its document on the issue said the project would have a "deleterious effect on the dynamic cultural life of the diverse people in the area".

Trainee barrister Stephanie Álvarez, 23, whose mother runs a store in the labyrinthine Pueblito Paisa, another name for the village, meaning little town, believes the site should be honoured with the same affection given to the capital's other cultural enclaves. "Would they get rid of Chinatown or Camden?" she asks, gesticulating towards a crowd of Colombians chatting animatedly about flights to Bogotá.

Her mother arrived from Colombia 15 years ago fleeing, like many of the Pueblito Paisa regulars, the armed conflict that ravaged the country for decades. "This place acts as a hub, a ready-made support network for migrants when they first arrive," says Álvarez, whose first memories are of weekends at the village dancing to samba and the smell of acetone from its nail bars. "Most of the people I know I met here, running around, dancing."

Close by stands chef Fabian Cataño, rearranging a teetering pile of £1 empanados, the curved spiced pastries hugely popular in Colombia. For many in the village, Cataño, 47, embodies the spirit of their adopted city, its ability to regenerate and reinvent. Cataño was sitting two tube carriages away from one of the London bombers on 7 July 2007, when a device was detonated, killing 26 people. Shrapnel sprayed his body; three shards of metal remain in his leg and he has no hearing in his right ear.

Cataño's brush with death prompted an epiphany, inspiring him to open his own business: a Colombian food joint in the heart of Pueblito Paisa. "It would mean such a lot if this place closed - a massive injustice against the community. For me it provides personal therapy. It helps me deal with everything."

He sighs and adds: "This is a safe haven for so many people, the place where they meet their friends, where they can find peace."

At the weekends, peace can prove elusive. One of the bar owners, Fernando Esguerra, 43, describes a scene of chaos on Friday nights. Groups of drinkers congregate around bottles of Blanco, Colombian tequila, as singers take turns to belt out karaoke tunes. Surrounding them are shelves crammed with produce normally only available in countries 5,000 miles across the Atlantic. On one row, at least 14 brands of chilli sauce are on display from smoky habaneros to green jalapeños. Esguerra smiles and says: "Anyone is welcome to come, sit down and meet their neighbours, have a drink, chat, be a part of their community."
