"body": "PARIS: Novak Djokovic came from a set down to beat Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 5-7, 7-5, 6-1, 6-4 and book his spot in the second round of the French Open on Sunday.\n\nThe 24-time major champion Djokovic is seeking to win a fourth Roland Garros crown, which would send him beyond Margaret Court as the player with the most Grand Slam titles in the history of the sport.\n\n\"His service is practically impossible to see... Only once or twice in my career (have I seen a serve like it),\" Djokovic said on-court of his big-serving opponent.\n\nIt was a first victory on the red dirt of the season for the 39-year-old after he skipped the vast majority of the clay-court swing due to a shoulder issue.\n\nDjokovic showed his rustiness by blinking first in the opening set as Mpetshi Perricard got the Parisian crowd on their feet with a break of serve in the 11th game, before holding comfortably to get his nose in front.\n\nDjokovic managed to engineer his first two break points of the match in the sixth game of the second frame but failed to convert as the 22-year-old roared back to ensure the set stayed level at 3-3.\n\nBut the Serb, one of tennis' all-time great returners, was starting to get the measure of the 2.01-metre Mpetshi Perricard's bullet serve and eventually got the break he so desperately craved in the 12th game of the second set to level the match.\n\nWhen Mpetshi Perricard sent wide a stretched forehand after chasing down a Djokovic drop shot, it was the first break point converted by the former world number one out of 10 across the set.\n\nWith his eye now firmly in, Djokovic wasted no time in getting ahead in the third frame as he broke the former world number 29 in the second game to race into a 3-0 lead.\n\nThe unrelenting Djokovic then won three of the next four games to claim a rapid-fire third set.\n\nThe pair exchanged breaks right at the start of the fourth set before the match settled back into its earlier ebb and flow.\n\nDjokovic struck again to get 4-3 ahead, this time serving out to book his spot in the round of 64, where he will face another Frenchman, Valentin Royer.",

"title": "Wolff plays down Mercedes rivalry as a 'good learning experience'",
"body": "MONTREAL: Mercedes team chief Toto Wolff recalled his role in managing previous intra-team title battles after calming the strife between championship leading Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli and George Russell ahead of Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.\n\nThe pair had clashed during Saturday's sprint race, won by pre-season title favourite Russell, in an incident that prompted an angry Antonelli to claim he had been \"pushed off\" and that his team-mate should be penalised.\n\nHowever, after cool-down talks to establish the rules of racing engagement, Wolff was confident his Silver Arrows drivers would avoid crashing into each other during Sunday's showdown at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.\n\n\"We've obviously been through all this before, all these motions, with Nico (Rosberg) and Lewis (Hamilton), back in 2015 and '2016,\" said Wolff.\n\n\"But this was good racing, like sport should be with an inter-team battle, and for us it's a good learning experience.\n\n\"And it was very easy, too, because we sat them down and said 'how do we want to race? Are we racing the other car like any third car, which I'm fine with, and then obviously, you don't leave any space there.\n\n\"Or do you want to leave the space - which I would not expect, because fundamentally, you are racing for winning and winning the championship.\n\n\"Or are we playing this super-smooth sailing and you only overtake each other on the straight under braking?\n\n\"So, we agreed that we trust them and that they know how to push, but in any case, no one is expecting the other one to leave space, because it's too important,\" he added.\n\nWolff's guidelines, in effect, left the two early-season title protagonists with the freedom to race hard and aggressively, but without making contact - a scenario that promises a tense and thrilling start to Sunday's race.\n\n'Hard done by'\n\nRussell starts from his third consecutive Canada pole position, chasing his second successive win in Montreal to trim Antonelli's 18-point lead in the title race - while the precocious 19-year-old Italian is seeking a fourth straight win to pull further clear.\n\nRussell understood the emotional reaction from Antonelli when he defended his position on lap six and forced him to take evasive action by running off the track at Turn One.\n\n\"If I was in his position and he was in my position, I probably would have reacted the same way,\" he admitted.\n\n\"If something doesn't pay off in the moment, you feel hard done by and blame the other guy. It's just natural.\n\n\"We're all racers. We are all fighters and we wear our hearts on our sleeves.\n\n\"It's a tough position where everything we think, or feel, is broadcast to the world. We don't regret it, but we may wish we said something differently,\" he said.\n\nA more subdued Antonelli said: \"We had a discussion and clarified things and now it's all good. We reviewed it, had a chat with Toto and that's it\".\n\nWhile the Mercedes pair settled their differences, for now, four-time champion Max Verstappen headed into the race after confirming his threat to quit this year if F1 does not follow through on changing the engine regulations next season.\n\n\"If it stays like this, for me, it is going to be a long year next year, which I don't want and it is mentally not doable. It's really not. There's a lot of other fun things to do out there,\" he said.\n\nIn common with many other drivers, the Red Bull driver wants to switch from a 50-50 split between engine power and battery power to a 60-40 split.",

"title": "'Potential crack' in California chemical tank may prevent explosion",
"body": "NEW YORK: Experts trying to prevent a tank of hazardous chemicals from exploding in Southern California found a \"potential crack\" in the container that might be reducing the pressure, a fire official said on Sunday.\n\nSince Friday, officials have warned that the tank, which contains methyl methacrylate, a flammable chemical used in plastics and manufacturing, could rupture and spill up to 7,000 gallons (26,500 litres) of toxic material or explode and endanger other tanks on the GKN Aerospace site.\n\nEvacuation orders were issued on Friday for an area in Garden Grove, a suburb roughly 30 miles (48km) south of Los Angeles. Tens of thousands of people are covered by the evacuation orders.\n\nTJ McGovern, interim fire chief of the Orange County Fire Authority, said in a video message posted on social media that a team of specialists on Saturday night found \"a potential crack in the tank, which could potentially be relieving some of the pressure in there.\"\n\nDiscovering the potential crack was \"positive intel\", McGovern said.\n\nAuthorities are still trying to determine whether the possible crack has relieved pressure in the tank, a spokesperson for the Orange County Fire Authority told Reuters. Lowering the pressure could help avert an explosion, he said.\n\nAlthough officials for now are focused on measuring pressure, the spokesperson said, the crack eventually could allow authorities to gradually drain the chemicals.\n\nCalifornia governor Gavin Newsom on Sunday said he had requested that president Donald Trump issue a federal emergency declaration to support response operations. Newsom declared a state of emergency for Orange County on Saturday.\n\nAt one point on Saturday, the tank's internal temperature reached as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2C), the fire authority said. But EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told CNN's \"State of the Union\" programme on Sunday that local officials were working to stabilise the tank by keeping its temperature under 85 degrees Fahrenheit.\n\n\"I'm being told this morning that the most likely scenario is one of a low-volume release, where the local authorities are going to be able to monitor, neutralize and contain the threat,\" Zeldin told CNN.\n\nCrews were preparing for a possible spill by looking for ways to dike, dam and divert the liquid into a holding area at the commercial site, rather than allow it to reach storm drains, river channels or the ocean, the fire authority has previously said.\n\nHealth officials have said they were concerned that prolonged exposure to vapor from the chemical could cause severe respiratory problems. Air monitors deployed in Garden Grove were not detecting any chemicals or pollutants on Sunday, the EPA said.\n\nSensors located around the tank itself have not picked up any chemical leaks in the air, the fire authority spokesperson said.\n\nThe Orange County Fire Authority and the Garden Grove mayor's office did not respond to requests for comment on Sunday.\n\nThe incident began on Thursday at the GKN Aerospace facility, which specializes in the manufacturing and testing of windows and canopies for commercial and military aircraft, according to its website.",

"title": "Dread and denial at heart of deadly DR Congo Ebola outbreak",
"body": "Decades of neglect and conflict have left many sceptical of the disease's existence despite 88 deaths in northeastern Ituri province.\n\nMONGBWALU: Unlike other residents of Mongbwalu, a town at the heart of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo's latest devastating Ebola outbreak, Laureine Sakiya believes that the blood-letting virus exists after seeing some of her neighbours die.\n\nAlready suspicious of the Congolese state following decades of neglect and conflict, many in the outbreak's epicentre in the northeastern Ituri province are split between criticism of the government's response and denial of the disease's very existence.\n\nGold-diggers and hawkers criss-cross mineral-rich and conflict-torn Ituri. Mud-covered motorbikes of travelling Congolese are a regular sight in Mongbwalu, some 100km from Uganda and just 200km away from unstable South Sudan.\n\nIn the space of several weeks, the outbreak has spread to several provinces nearby and on to Ugandan soil, with the World Health Organization declaring the epidemic an international emergency.\n\nOf the 322 people suspected to have contracted Ebola in Mongbwalu - where many of the outbreak's first cases were recorded - 88 have died, according to the latest toll from the authorities.\n\n\"The authorities need to bring us vaccines,\" Sakiya, 26, told AFP.\n\nBut no vaccine or treatment exists for the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola responsible for the vast central African country's 17th outbreak of the disease, believed to have already killed 204 people overall.\n\n'Coffin affair'\n\nIn the local hospital, a modest building nestled within the hillside town's trees and high grass, healthcare workers are rinsing the floor and walls with a chlorine solution.\n\nAll are clad from head to toe in hazard suits with facemasks and goggles, to guard against a disease spread through close physical contact and bodily fluids.\n\nBut handwashing is done in plastic buckets - a sign of the inadequate response to an outbreak many fear could be among the worst in the virus's history.\n\nLocal aid groups are on the ground, while medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has loaned Mongbwalu's hospital tents to isolate suspected victims in.\n\n\"The epidemic is out of the ordinary,\" said an MSF coordinator, Florent Uzzeni, in the main regional city of Bunia.\n\nThe official toll was almost certainly an undercount, he said, adding that \"the capacities to test people are extremely limited\".\n\nPast Ebola outbreaks have sparked violence among locals either wary of the state's response or sceptical of the disease. Some believed that the latest epidemic was of a \"mystical malady\", a common belief in some remote areas of the DRC.\n\n\"At the beginning, people believed it was a coffin affair,\" said Jonathan Imbalapay, a civil society leader in Mongbwalu.\n\nThe first suspected case was identified in Bunia, the Ituri provincial capital. After the man's death, the victim's family brought the body back to Mongbwalu.\n\nBut the 80km journey on the eastern DRC's infamously rickety and bumpy roads damaged the coffin, exposing the Ebola-ridden corpse.\n\nTraditional leaders and some locals wanted to burn the compromised casket.\n\nAfter tests in a provincial laboratory failed to pinpoint Ebola as the source, the disease and accompanying panic were both allowed to spread in Mongbwalu.\n\nIt was only when samples arrived at the biomedical research laboratory in the capital Kinshasa - nearly 1,800km away as the crow flies - that the Ebola outbreak was confirmed.\n\nAdam Hussein, a 35-year-old representative for Mongbwalu's traditional faith healers, fretted about Ebola denial and called on everyone to take precautions.\n\n\"I worry about those who say that this disease is invented,\" he said.",

The car slowed and stopped by the side of the track on lap 30 of 68.\n\nRussell thumped the car with his hands and threw the headrest out, a gesture noted by race control, before stepping clear as the virtual safety car was deployed.",

"body": "NEW DELHI: US secretary of state Marco Rubio accused Hezbollah in a statement Sunday of trying to plunge Lebanon \"back into chaos.\"\n\nRubio denounced what he called Hezbollah's \"reckless call to overthrow Lebanon's democratically elected government\" and said the pro-Iran armed group was \"actively trying to drag Lebanon back into chaos and destruction.\"\n\nNaim Qassem, the leader of Hezbollah, said earlier that \"the people have the right to go down onto the streets and to bring down the government\" in response to Israeli strikes and US sanctions on the Al-Qard Al-Hassan financial institution.\n\nAl-Qard Al-Hassan is affiliated with Hezbollah and provides interest-free loans to mainly Shia Muslim communities who have faced financial difficulty amid Lebanon's economic crises.\n\n\"The aggression against Al-Qard al-Hassan is an aggression against hundreds of thousands of poor people and those with limited income,\" Qassem said.\n\nThe Lebanese government has been under US pressure to take action against the firm, as Washington ratchets up pressure on Iran-backed Hezbollah.\n\n\"Hizballah's threats of violence and overthrow will not be allowed to succeed,\" Rubio said. \"The era in which a terrorist group held an entire nation hostage is coming to an end.\"\n\nThe US is negotiating a deal with Iran to end the Middle East war, with a report in Axios suggesting that a draft memorandum of understanding between two sides contains language that \"makes clear the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon would end.\"\n\nEarly on Sunday, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on X that Trump, in a phone call, \"reaffirmed Israel's right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon.\"\n\nQassem expressed hope for an agreement between Iran and the US and that Lebanon would be part of its terms.\n\nHowever, he again called on the Lebanese government to abandon direct negotiations with Israel. A fourth round of talks is scheduled for June 2 and 3 in Washington.\n\nDespite a ceasefire that came into effect on April 17 and was recently extended for several weeks, Israel continues to strike what it describes as pro-Iranian Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, while Hezbollah for its part continues its attacks on Israeli targets in the south of the country.",

"title": "West Ham relegated, Arsenal lift Premier League trophy on emotional final day",
"body": "LONDON: Arsenal finally got their hands on the Premier League trophy and Tottenham Hotspur managed to stay up to bring joy to all sides of North London on Sunday, but there was despair in the east of the city as West Ham United were relegated on the final day of the season despite a 3-0 home win over Leeds United.\n\nHaving secured the title when Manchester City dropped points in midweek, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal received the trophy at Selhurst Park following a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.\n\nArsenal finished top on 85 points, seven clear of Manchester City in second, with Manchester United seven points further back in third after a 3-0 win at Brighton & Hove Albion.\n\n\"That was beautiful,\" Arteta said. \"Look at the joy of all of the people, they have been waiting for this for so long. We have had difficult moments along the way, but it is all worth it when you see that kind of reaction.\"\n\nVilla's win over City secured fourth place and Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Brentford secured fifth place and Champions League football next term, but all eyes were on Pep Guardiola, who is departing after a trophy-laden 10 years in charge of Manchester City.\n\n\"I leave with an incredible sense of peace, I gave everything. Good things, bad things, it's part of the sport. I feel so much love, that is the truth,\" Guardiola told the BBC after his emotional farewell to the home fans.\n\nAt the other end of the table, Tottenham survived a late onslaught to emerge with a 1-0 win over Everton that condemned West Ham to the drop, alongside Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley who played out a 1-1 draw.\n\nIt was a day of departures for big-name players as Mohamed Salah got the assist for Liverpool's goal against Brentford before making an emotional exit, with full back Andy Robertson also leaving the club.\n\nOne of the bigger milestones of the day came in the north-east, where Sunderland beat Chelsea 2-1 to finish seventh and secure European football for the first time in more than half a century.\n\n\"Coming up to the start of the season, I don't think anyone gave us a chance to stay up, let alone Europe. We've worked our socks off and fully deserve that,\" Sunderland goal-scorer Trai Hume told the BBC.",

"body": "May 24 (Reuters) - Antonio Conte announced his departure as Napoli head coach on Sunday after guiding the team to a 1-0 home victory over Udinese in the final match of the Serie A season.\n\nThe 56-year-old confirmed the decision at a press conference alongside Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis after the match. Having joined the club in July 2024, he won the league title in his debut campaign as well as this season's Italian Super Cup.\n\nConte's final match was settled by a 23rd-minute goal from striker Rasmus Hojlund, securing a second-place finish in the league table for the hosts behind Inter Milan.\n\nThe former Italy and Chelsea manager revealed he had initiated the exit talks based on his relationship with the club's owner.\n\n\"I rang the chairman a month ago... and told him, 'Given the friendship we share, I feel that my time here is coming to an end.' The decision was mine,\" Conte told reporters. \"I've never been one for mediocre seasons, and I never will be.\"\n\nReflecting on the turning point of his decision following a loss to Bologna this month, Conte cited friction over January signings and internal squad dynamics.\n\n\"I saw situations there that I did not like,\" Conte said. \"Certainly some new signings arrived in January while the old group and I were in very difficult dynamics. There came a moment when it was right to speak out and take responsibility.\n\n\"I failed at one thing in Naples: I was unable to bring everyone together,\" Conte added. \"I saw too much poison, too much malice. The moment you can no longer do things with ease is a step backwards for me.\"\n\nConte is a frontrunner to take over as Italy manager, local media reported.\n\n\"There is satisfaction, honour and prestige in what I achieved coaching Naples. I thank De Laurentiis for giving me this opportunity.\"\n\n(Reporting by Tommy Lund in Gdansk, editing by Ed Osmond)",
