The second vice president and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, has led the rejection of the Hungarian proposal for the future Directive on intern workers with which Europe seeks to stop the figure of the ‘false intern’ because – she has denounced – it fails to comply with the premise protection initial.

The global climate protection agenda takes centre stage at the UN, in the largest case in the world courts (ICJ) history a week after the hearings came a week after COP29, which almost failed to reach accord. Global climate protection agenda The UN’s top court begins landmark hearings Monday on global climate protection guidelines. Vanuatu and Pacific island nations lead proceedings before 15 judges. The hearings came a week after COP29, when wealthy nations agreed to provide $300 billion per year in climate finance for developing nations — an outcome critics slammed as inadequate.

Gary Neville believes Nicolas Jackson has changed Chelsea’s transfer plans following his impressive run of form. Jackson was heavily scrutinised during his first season at Stamford Bridge despite contributing 17 goals in all competitions. A number of pundits criticised Jackson’s somewhat erratic finishing and suggested Chelsea needed to sign a new striker to replace the Senegal striker. Neville was among those to urge Chelsea to dip into the market and use Jackson as a back-up striker, but says the 23-year-old’s form this season has changed his mind. Jackson scored his eighth Premier League goal of the season on Sunday to…

Alan Shearer singled out ‘absolutely fantastic’ Amad Diallo for praise after Manchester United thumped Everton to hand new boss Ruben Amorim his first Premier League victory. United could only draw 1-1 with newly-promoted Ipswich Town in Amorim’s first game in charge but put four past struggling Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring on 34 minutes before Joshua Zirkzee doubled Manchester United’s advantage just before half-time. Rashford scored his third goal in two Premier League games under Amorim just after the break before Zirkzee added United’s fourth on the hour mark. Two of the goals came…

Manchester United legend Gary Neville says Pep Guardiola made two costly mistakes with his team selection against Liverpool. Manchester City, the defending Premier League champions, were beaten 2-0 by table-topping Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. The Reds now have a commanding 11-point lead over City, with just 13 matches played. Guardiola was clearly irked during the match and responded to chants of: ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’ from Liverpool fans by putting up six fingers, in reference to the amount of Premier League titles he’s won. But Neville says the Spaniard contributed to City’s defeat with his team selection…

Gary Neville says it is ‘clear’ that ‘something has gone on’ between Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian was once again benched as City lost further ground in the title race with a 2-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. De Bruyne has suffered an injury-hit campaign but he returned from injury in mid-November. Despite City’s poor run of form that’s seen them go seven matches without a win, De Bruyne has not been reinstated to the starting XI. In defeats to Liverpool and Spurs in the last week, De Bruyne has emerged…

Phil Jones has claimed that Anthony Martial was ‘always late’ for training and team meetings at Manchester United – and it appears his former team-mate wasn’t overly ‘bothered’ about the repercussions. Having retired from the game earlier this year, Jones, 32, has dipped his toes into the world of football punditry and has made no secret of his plans to move into coaching in the future. The former England defender was plagued by injury problems for much of his playing career but still managed to get his hands on five pieces of silverware at Old Trafford. Across his time at…

  Liverpool are now odds-on favourites to win the Premier League following their 2-0 win over title rivals Manchester City on Sunday. Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah highlighted a relatively comfortable victory at Anfield, with Arne Slot now seemingly unstoppable having won 18 of his first 20 games in charge. Following a dramatic weekend of Premier League action, Liverpool sit nine points clear at the top of the table after 13 games. Their nearest challengers are Arsenal and Chelsea who secured big wins against West Ham and Aston Villa respectively. Man City have now lost an unprecedented six…

Jorginho has been shocked by the ‘crazy’ criticism of ‘unbelievable’ Arsenal forward Kai Havertz. Eyebrows were raised when Arsenal spent £65m to sign Havertz from Chelsea in the summer of 2023 and the German endured a sluggish start to his Gunners career, scoring just once in his first 19 games for the club. He began to contribute more regularly towards the end of last season, however, and has nine goals in 19 appearances this term. Despite this, a number of pundits have criticised Havertz’s output and suggested Arsenal need to sign a new striker if they want to win major…

Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek is selling signed merch to help cover the costs of ‘expensive’ cancer treatment. The 47-year-old actor, who is best known for playing Dawson Leery in the iconic teen drama from 1998 to 2003, revealed last month he had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. He has now dropped some memorabilia tied to 1999 film Varsity Blues, with autographed football jerseys available for $80, and unsigned versions for $40. ‘Excited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of #VarsityBlues with a limited edition #4 Moxon jersey — each one personally autographed by me,’ he wrote on Instagram.…
