 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May ​28, yet U.S. military flights into Nanyuki continued in the days that followed, according to data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24.

PLAYERS AT THE 2026 WORLD CUP WILL BE STOPPED FROM GOING TO THE TECHNICAL AREA TO TALK TO COACHES WHEN GOALKEEPERS ARE INJURED, FIFA REFEREES' CHIEF PIERLUIGI COLLINA HAS REVEALED.(PHOTO).


Players at the 2026 World Cup will be stopped from going to the technical area to talk to coaches when goalkeepers are injured, Fifa referees' chief Pierluigi Collina has revealed.


The International Football Association Board (Ifab) has also approved a request to change video assistant referee (VAR) protocol to allow reviews of attacking fouls that happen before the ball is in play.


The 'goalkeeper tactical timeout' has become a hot topic in recent years. It is used by a manager to get new instructions to his players, or to impact the momentum of the opposition.


In November, Leeds United boss Daniel Farke accused Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma of feigning injury to "bend the rules" and break up play.


The goalkeeper sits on the turf and signals for the physio, the other players rush to the technical area for a team talk, then as soon as the coach has delivered his instructions, the keeper simply gets up to play on.


The Ifab has been looking at the issue, but no law change has been agreed.


Leagues have been invited to hold a series of trials throughout the 2026-27 season to find a solution.


The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) - the women's professional league in the United States - introduced its own temporary measure earlier this year.


If a goalkeeper is injured, the players of both teams must stay where they are or gather in the centre circle.
