"Thailand has launched airstrikes along its disputed border with Cambodia after both countries accused each other of breaching a ceasefire deal brokered by Donald Trump." "Six weeks ago, Trump oversaw the signing of a ceasefire agreement he brokered to end a five-day war that erupted in July. At least 48 people were killed in the conflict and 300,000 forced to flee their homes." "Tensions have remained high despite the ceasefire agreement, with both sides accusing each other other of violations, and Thailand announcing in November that it was suspending the deal." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/08/thailand-airstrikes-disputed-border-cambodia

Wissa: "It was not an easy decision to take, but I need to look after myself, the club, and my country. The main thing is that I am healthy." "For me, the most important thing is to be here. I can't be 100% when I am feeling like this." "So yeah, I am looking forward to watching my country play at AFCON and I will be focused on this team and doing well." "My target was always just to come back first. After that I will know what target I will have." "For now, the most important thing is to win every single game, and that's why I am here." "Nick is a top player and he can help me with my game. He is definitely a little taller than me!" "But I can run around him, and we can definitely play together." "I can bring that Premier League experience, like running from behind, coming from deep and driving the ball." "I am quite different and that is why the manager is buzzing to have two players like this. I feel we will make a very good partnership together." "It is a top number to have here. When I was growing up I was watching Alan Shearer's career, Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse." "I watched the games and knew it was a top, top club. I am so happy to be here." "I want to help the club get where they want to be and I need to deliver." "That is what I have been waiting for." https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/yoane-wissa-opens-up-newcastle-33015656

Mo Salah: “Can I give an example? It’s silly but I am sorry. I remember a while go, Harry Kane was not scoring for ten games. The media were like: Oh, Harry will score for sure. When it comes to Mo, everyone is like: He needs to be on the bench. I am sorry Harry.”
