India beat Afghanistan 4-0 to defend SAFF title

Posted:

India scored four goals in the last 20 minutes to beat 10-man Afghanistan 4-0 and defend its South Asian Football Federation title on Sunday. Afghanistan held out at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium until the 71st minute when India was awarded a contentious penalty kick. Goalkeeper Hameedullah Yousefzari was so angry with the decision, he pushed the referee and earned himself a red card. Striker Sunil Chhetri converted the spot kick to open the floodgates before Clifford Miranda (79th) and Jeje Lalpeklua (80th) scored in quick succession to make it 3-0. Sushil Singh sealed the win in injury time against a hapless Afghanistan team playing its first SAF final after a shock 1-0 win over Nepal in the semifinals.

Russia probes vote after mass protests

Posted:

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday ordered a probe into reports of vote-fixing after the ruling party s disputed victory sparked the largest protest rallies since the 1990s. However, he flatly rejected the idea of staging fresh elections. Medvedev said he had told election officials to take a closer look at reports of rampant ballot-stuffing and other allegations that officials had fixed the vote count in an election the previous weekend. "I disagree with the slogans and declarations made at the meetings," Medvedev wrote in his Facebook account, referring to the protests Saturday across Russia that alleged widespread fraud and demanded fresh polls. "Nevertheless, I have issued instructions to check all polling station reports about (a failure) to follow election laws," Medvedev wrote. Saturday s demonstrations near the Kremlin saw more than 50,000 people deride the outcome of December 4 elections, which were widely seen as a litmus test for Vladimir Putin s planned return to the presidency next year. The protests were the largest to hit the Russian capital since the tumultuous 1990s and levelled some of the most intense political pressure at Putin since he first rose to the presidency in 2000. The former KGB agent now serves as prime minister after having made Medvedev his hand-picked presidential successor in 2008. But despite the change of post, for many observers he has remained the country s de facto leader. Now Putin intends to return to the Kremlin for up to 12 more years in a March election that he has appeared destined to win. But scenes similar to those witnessed Saturday in Moscow were replayed on a smaller scale across the industrial hubs of Siberia and the Urals -- a sign that Putin s path back may be more complicated than it first appeared. Putin stayed out of the limelight at the weekend while his spokesman issued a carefully worded statement that sounded a conciliatory note.

No guarantee of Nov 26 like mishap not happen again: Allen

The International Security Assistance Force denied allegations that the recent NATO attack on two Pakistani military posts in Mohmand Agency on Afghanistan border was deliberate. Gen Allen and Nato’s Senior Civilian Representative to Afghanistan Sir Simon Gass were in Dubai and spoke to the media about the encouraging trends in the security, political and development spheres in Afghanistan. Gen Allen also spoke about the strategic coordination and cooperation between the ISAF and Pakistan and highlighted the importance of having a sustained long-term relationship that benefits not only the ISAF but more importantly Pakistan and Afghanistan. Asked if there were any guarantees of such a mishap not happening again, Gen Allen said: “You simply can’t guarantee anything in war. The conditions are difficult at the border, let the investigation play out, we will look carefully. If we find fault on our part, we will resolve that … we will look at every aspect of the circumstances to make sure it does not happen again.” However, Gen Allan’s words of counsel in the aftermath of the incident and in context with the deterioration of Pakistan’s relations with the US and Nato were to exercise caution. “I simply call on all sides that the words we speak and the deeds we undertake do not go so far that we cannot achieve equilibrium in the end, that’s all we should seek to achieve in the end, a relationship of equilibrium in the long run.” “My appeal to Pakistan is that there is a virulent insurgency and this is poised to attack Pakistan, Afghanistan and the members of ISAF,” he said.

And you have seen other cases of murder in the country, about which nothing has come up yet. This matter is sub judice, in the judiciary and we should wait for results.”
