What is the recent history between the teams?

At the last World Cup, England sealed their place in the quarter-finals by beating Argentina 39-10 in Tokyo in their third pool match, running in six tries against a side who had Tomas Lavanini sent off early for an illegal tackle on Owen Farrell. The result also meant Argentina failed to get into the knockout stage for the first time in 16 years.

Exceptional visual arts exhibition inside a concrete basement

Image
Deep down two floors underneath central London, a large concrete basement has been taken over by a display of lighting art that is as varied as it is remarkable. (c) ianVisits Fusing sounds, lighting effects, and the dark concrete basement space, the exhibition at 180 Studios is by the artist collective United Visual Artists (UVA), who have filled large empty spaces to mark their 20th anniversary. There are also few tickets left for sale on their website. It takes a moment to get used to the darkness as you enter, and walk into a room bombarded with numbers and countdown clocks on a large wall, all using information from internet data feeds. It’s both oddly captivating and slightly scary as if you can imagine a malevolent AI computer hacking into reality to take over the nuclear codes. One of the more disconcerting displays are three large swinging lit pendulums, which swing over a steep slope down into the depths of the building. All in a room slightly smokey to obscure...

Canada, the Netherlands take Syria to top UN court over torture claims

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Netherlands and Canada are taking Syria’s government to the United Nations’ highest court on Tuesday, accusing Damascus of massive human rights violations against its own people. “Since 2011, Syrians have been tortured, murdered, sexually assaulted, forcibly disappeared and subjected to chemical weapon attacks on a mass scale,” the Netherlands and Canada said when they launched the case at the International Court of Justice in June. “Twelve years on, human rights violations at the hands of the Syrian regime persist,” they added. A group of Syrians gathered outside the court before the hearing, carrying photos of people they claim are victims of torture and enforced disappearance, and holding banners emblazoned with the text “End torture now!” and “Where are they.” Syria’s conflict started with peaceful protests against President Bashar Assad’s government in March 2011 but quickly morphed into a full-blown civil war after the government’s brutal ...

Donald Trump Touts New Travel Ban In Fear-Laden Speech

Former President Donald Trump used the ongoing conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip to stoke fears on Monday about immigration into the United States, pledging to reimpose a travel ban on people coming from predominantly Muslim countries. “As president, I will once again stand strongly with the state of Israel, and we will cut off the money to the terrorists on day one,” Trump, who is running for the 2024 GOP nomination, said during a campaign rally in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. He added he would “reimpose the travel ban on terror-afflicted countries.” Trump instituted such a ban shortly after he took office in 2017, barring people from seven countries from entering the United States. Human rights groups were outraged and called the move inhumane and discriminatory. The ban sparked fierce protests and widespread condemnation, although Trump has continued to tout it long after leaving the White House. President Joe Biden reversed Trump’s policy shortly after taking of...
