Hired as a systems coach, the manager was undermined at a club where players – and Florentino Pérez – call the shots Pep Guardiola sat in the press room at the Santiago Bernabéu and told Xabi Alonso to do it his way but around here, he knows, it tends not to work out like that, which is precisely why he said so. Saying it is one thing, doing it another, doing it successfully something else entirely, and a month and day after being offered that advice, handed that defence, Alonso was gone. On Monday afternoon, not long after landing from Saudi Arabia, a meeting was held at Valdebebas and then came the statement, short and unsentimental. He was a “legend” as a player, but no longer coach at Real Madrid. Alonso is the 11th manager to last less than a year in two decades under the president, Florentino Pérez. He had begun work only seven months before, and that was earlier than he intended. It had started with the Club World Cup in the US, his first big decision to accept the demand to take over sooner than he wanted, and it ended with the Spanish Super Cup in Jeddah, where it was an open secret that final judgment awaited. For a month it had been impossible to avoid the feeling of a manager on borrowed time, especially for the manager himself, exposed and undermined, and you cannot go on like that. There will be hurt pride, regret, but release too. Continue reading...

"NATO chief Mark Rutte joked that 'you will all hate me' as he lavished more praise on Donald Trump, while addressing EU lawmakers at the parliament in Brussels on Tuesday. "Without President Trump, we would not have taken those decisions [to increase NATO spending] — these eight, nine countries not at 2% late last year, and the whole of the Alliance committing to 5% defence spending. I would say that is thanks to President Trump. And I know you will all hate me now saying this, but this is what I believe. And I'm going to repeat that. And that's why we need a transatlantic relationship," he said. Rutte famously called Trump 'daddy' - saying 'Daddy has to sometimes use strong language' - when defending the US leader's use of expletives to refer to Israel and Iran last June. The past days and weeks have seen rows with the US over Greenland, with Donald Trump pledging to take control of it 'one way or another'. In recent days, the UK has suggested deploying NATO troops to the region, which some media reports suggested was about 'easing Trump's security fears' and others claimed was about 'deterring' the US president. Trump has repeatedly said he wanted control of the Danish territory since his re-election in 2024, with it triggering debate over Greenland's own difficult relationship with its former Danish coloniser. Earlier, Danish PM Mette Fredriksen stated: "It has not been easy to stand up against completely unacceptable pressure from our closest allies through a generation, but much simultaneously suggests that the hardest part now lies ahead of us."

"Strong winds swept across the Gaza Strip on Monday, causing widespread damage and casualties among displaced residents as harsh weather conditions continued. Footage filmed on Tuesday shows tent sheets torn away by powerful gusts, with displaced families struggling to secure what remains of their shelters. Um Ahmad al-Hanawi, a displaced woman, described the fear she experienced overnight. "The wind was extremely strong, and stones began falling on us. We no longer have a tent, so we are now sitting exposed after losing our shelter," she said. "We didn't sleep at all last night because we were afraid the roof might collapse. Looking at the roof, we feel afraid. Where would we go?" she continued. Another displaced resident, Qusai Dardouneh, recalled the community's rescue attempts during the storm. "We rushed out of our tents and saw a 17-metre wall collapse onto people sheltering nearby. We tried to pull them out, but the rubble was very heavy. We managed to rescue some women and children," he explained. Gaza's Civil Defence said it recorded three deaths caused by partial collapses of unstable buildings amid the low-pressure system affecting the strip. The government media office in Gaza reported that around 7,000 tents were damaged over two days due to strong winds and severe weather. It added that the number of deaths caused by extreme cold since the start of winter has risen to seven children, while the total number of displaced victims since the beginning of the war has reached 24, including 21 children. Meanwhile, the Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA) said approximately 127,000 out of 135,000 tents are currently uninhabitable, citing severe shortages of blankets, bedding, and heating supplies. According to the agency, weather conditions are expected to worsen on Tuesday, with very cold, windy conditions and a further drop in temperatures to below seasonal averages."
