 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry. Artan, who is set to become the first Somali referee to officiate at the FIFA World Cup finals, was stopped at Miami International Airport and subsequently returned to Istanbul, where he had been residing. The reason for the denial was not immediately disclosed. However, Somalia is among the countries affected by a travel ban introduced by the administration of Donald Trump. Reacting to the development, Ciise Aden Abshir, a senior adviser to Somalia’s Ministry of Youth and Sports and a former national team captain, described Artan as one of Africa’s most respected referees. “Omar Artan is among Africa’s most respected referees and deserves the support of the entire football community,” Abshir told AFP on Monday.

NEW PHOTOS OF STRANDED BOEING STARLINER ASTRONAUTS RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR HEALTH- REPORT. (PHOTO).


 New photos of stranded Boeing Starliner astronauts raise concerns about their health: report


Concerns for the health of the NASA astronauts stranded on the International Space Station have grown after recent images showing one of them looking severely drawn surfaced.


Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have been stuck on the ISS for 6 months (since June 6), when their Boeing Starliner broke down due to technical malfunctions.


The two Americans, who were only slated to be at the space station for eight days, have now spent 153 days among the stars — and doctors are raising concerns about their health after a new photo shows Williams, 59, appearing jarringly gaunt.


The two astronauts are seen chowing down on an ad hoc dinner consisting of uncooked pizza, ketchup, mustard and various sundries.


Though she is smiling and seems to be in good spirits, Williams looks remarkably hollow-cheeked than when she first boarded the orbiting workplace.


“What you’re seeing there in that picture is somebody that I think is experiencing the natural stresses of living at a very high altitude, even in a pressurized cabin, for extended periods,” Dr. Vinay Gupta told the Daily Mail.


Williams’ notably sunken cheeks are likely a result of a “significant” calorie deficit, he added.


The human body burns more calories in space than it does on terrestrial ground due to low temperatures and general harsh conditions, Gupta explained.


This alarming analysis comes after a crew of four NASA astronauts returning to Earth on SpaceX’s Dragon capsule were rushed to the hospital after spending 200 days on the ISS.


One of those astronauts was kept overnight at Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola hospital, according to NASA. 

The space agency did not reveal the nature of the medical emergency and the astronaut was released the following day
