 Jordan Henderson Set to Miss World Cup After Wrist Injury in England Celebrations England’s 3-2 win over Mexico in the World Cup Round of 16 was followed by an injury to Jordan Henderson, who is now expected to miss the remainder of the tournament. The Brentford midfielder was part of the England squad that secured victory at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium on Sunday, July 5, before the team joined supporters behind one of the goals to sing Oasis’ Wonderwall, which has become an unofficial anthem during the competition. During the post-match celebrations, Henderson fell over an advertising board, landed awkwardly and was left on the ground receiving medical attention. Teammates and staff quickly surrounded him as treatment was provided on the pitch. He was later given oxygen and taken off on a stretcher. England head coach Thomas Tuchel told the BBC that the 36-year-old had sustained “a quite serious” wrist injury and was taken to hospital for assessment. Henderson remained in Mexico...

 UN passes resolution naming slave trade ‘gravest crime against humanity’


A ⁠United Nations resolution, proposed by Ghana, to recognise transatlantic slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity” and calling for reparations, has been adopted despite pushback from Europe and the United States.


At a UN General Assembly (UNGA) vote on Wednesday, 123 countries supported the resolution, which ⁠is not legally binding but carries political weight, while three opposed it, including the US and Israel, and 52 abstained, including the United Kingdom and European Union countries.


Ghana said the resolution ⁠was needed because the consequences of slavery, which saw at least 12.5 million Africans abducted and sold between the 15th and 19th centuries, persist today, including racial disparities.


Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama, a key architect of the resolution, said the resolution’s passing was “a route to healing and reparative justice”.


“The adoption of this resolution serves as a safeguard against forgetting … Let it be recorded that when history beckoned, we did what was right for the memory of the millions who suffered the indignity of slavery.”


Ghana’s foreign minister, Samuel Ablakwa, said the resolution called for accountability and could pave the way for a “reparative ‌framework”.


“History ‌does not disappear when ignored, truth does not weaken when delayed, crime does not rot … and justice does not expire with time,” Ablakwa said.


UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the UNGA that “far bolder action” was required from more states to confront historical injustices.


The Netherlands remains the only European country to have issued a formal apology for its role in slavery.


The resolution has come after the African ⁠Union last year set out to create a “unified vision” among its 55 ⁠member states about what reparations for slavery may look like.


It urges member states to engage in dialogue on reparations, including issuing formal apologies, returning stolen artefacts, providing financial compensation, and ensuring guarantees of non-repetition.
