 Rebels to withdraw from key DR Congo town 'after US request' The M23 rebel group has said it would withdraw from the eastern DR Congo town of Uvira at the request of the US administration, which had criticised seizure of the town last week as a threat to mediation efforts. The rebels entered Uvira, on the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met with US President Donald Trump in Washington and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept." A report by a United Nations group of experts in July said Rwanda exercised command and control over the rebels. Rwanda denies supporting M23 and has blamed Congolese and Burundian forces for the renewed fighting. Corneille Nangaa, leader of the Congo River Allia...

 Mbappe scores on debut as Real Madrid win the European Super Cup


Kylian Mbappe scored on his debut as Real Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup for a record-breaking sixth time with a 2-0 win over Atalanta on Wednesday.


Carlo Ancelotti’s Champions League winners took the lead in the 59th minute through Fede Valverde, before Mbappe’s strike secured victory in Warsaw.


The reigning UEFA Champions League holders had to wait until the second half to find the opening goal as Federico Valverde put them in the lead. Following some great work from Jude Bellingham, Mbappe doubled their lead soon afterwards to wrap up a dominant display.


Federico Valverde was also on target for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who lifted the trophy for a record-breaking sixth time.


Mbappe endured a quiet first half at Warsaw’s National Stadium, Isak Hien blocking his 15th-minute shot, while the woodwork denied both teams inside the opening 45 minutes.


All the build-up to this game surrounded Mbappe’s impending debut since his blockbuster move from Paris Saint-Germain.

Although he endured a generally subdued first half, it did not take him long to settle into life as a Galactico. His fine second-half strike sealed Madrid’s record-breaking sixth Super Cup triumph.

There was also history made by team-mates Carvajal and Modric, who became the first players to appear in five Super Cup wins.


Once the two-goal lead was established, the link-up play between the front four was breathtaking to watch and, if tonight is anything to go by, Los Blancos will take some stopping in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.

Atalanta generally held their own on their first appearance in this game, but Madrid were just too strong in the end and Italy’s wait for a first Super Cup success since 2007 goes on.
