Parts of the article, not the whole article:

The Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) intends to make a formal complaint to FIFA over United States President Donald Trump’s role in the suspension of Folarin Balogun’s World Cup red card.

NFF president Lise Klaveness confirmed the plans to raise the issue, which follows her federation’s backing of December’s ethical complaint in relation to FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s decision to award President Trump the FIFA Peace Prize.

In December, an official complaint was submitted to FIFA’s Ethics Committee, alleging “repeated breaches” of FIFA’s duty of political neutrality by Infantino, while also requesting an investigation into the process that saw Trump receive the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize at the World Cup draw.

The complaint was made by FairSquare, a non-profit organisation and advocacy group which focuses mainly on global labour migration rights, political repression and sport. The complaint subsequently received the support of the NFF, with Klaveness criticising the fact that Infantino made the decision to award the prize without consulting the FIFA Council.

Fifty members of the European Parliament (MEPs) wrote to FIFA in June asking the governing body to address the complaint.

In FIFA’s statutes, it says that “FIFA remains neutral in matters of politics and religion.” FIFA’s Code of Ethics also “requires that all persons bound by the code remain politically neutral … in dealings with government institutions.”

The House voted 216-214 on a budget reconciliation framework that includes $10 billion worth of election-related grants over a 10-year period for coaxing states into adopting anti-voting measures like those in Trump’s pet proposal. The $95 billion package also includes funding for the Iran war and bailouts for farmers hurt by Trump’s tariffs.

It’s still unclear what will be in the final reconciliation bill; now that the budget resolution has been approved, individual House committees will go about drafting the legislation. The reconciliation process allows Senate Republicans to bypass the filibuster’s 60-vote threshold and pass legislation with a simple majority.

A judge at Galway Circuit Court has apologised to a victim of domestic violence for what he called "this stupid and ridiculous legal system".

Judge Brian O'Callaghan was speaking at the adjournment of a sentencing hearing due to the ongoing legal aid fees dispute.

He said no dispute should warrant the deferral of cases like this.

TIRANA – Preliminary work on a vast hotel project linked to the Trump family has already caused irreparable damage to a once pristine stretch of Albania’s coast, scientists and activists say.

Satellite images obtained by AFP show that during a 25-day period in May, a road was cleared, an entire zone deforested and a bridge built to span the channel connecting the Narta lagoon to the sea.

“Bulldozers on the beaches have already damaged the nesting sites of loggerhead turtles, which are threatened with extinction,” Olsi Nika, a marine biologist who heads the non-governmental environmental organisation EcoAlbania, told AFP.

In addition, the nesting grounds of numerous bird species have been disturbed by access roads through the dunes and the felling of trees, while construction on a vital channel between the lagoon and the sea has severely disrupted water flows essential to maintaining wetlands.

“An absolute biodiversity massacre,” says Nika.

Daily demonstrations against the project have led to the suspension of some work, but the “damage caused to the heritage site long before construction even began is largely irreparable”, says Ferdinand Bego, a professor at the University of Tirana.

Environmental activists have long raised concerns about the €4.5 billion (S$6.6 billion) project – first mooted in 2024 by US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner – to build luxury hotels amid flamingo colonies and on a deserted island.

In a podcast, Trump’s daughter Ivanka explained that “we have not just the island, but five miles (8km) of beachfront directly across from the island with a beautiful peninsula with a lagoon on one side, the ocean on the other, and beautiful white sand beaches”.

Albanians have been protesting against the project for months, but it was when barbed wire appeared six weeks ago to mark out the boundaries of the complex that anger erupted.

Private security guards suppressed one protest, further sparking a succession of demonstrations.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, whose government has been in power for 13 years, defends what it calls “Europe’s finest project”, saying it will help Albania catch up with coastal neighbours Montenegro, Greece and Croatia by attracting international capital and creating jobs.
