Ancelotti dice que nunca dudó de que el "sufrimiento" de Brasil marcaría
En el partido de la ronda de 32 de la Copa Mundial de 2026 entre Brasil y Japón, Brasil aseguró una dramática victoria por 2-1 en el minuto 95 gracias a un gol del sustituto Gabriel Martinelli. El triunfo avanzó a Brasil a la Copa Mundial de los últimos 16, marcando la última instancia de un gol ganador de último minuto en las etapas de nocaut desde 1966. A pesar de que Japón lideraba por 1-0 en el medio tiempo debido a algunos errores defensivos de Brasil, el equipo sudamericano dominó la segunda mitad con goles de Casemiro y Martinelli. El entrenador Carlo Ancelotti enfatizó la resistencia y la paciencia del equipo, y señaló que tenía confianza en su capacidad para superar los desafíos. También mencionó que Neymar, el máximo goleador de Brasil, permaneció en el banquillo hasta los últimos momentos, aunque no fue sustituido debido a la exitosa recuperación del equipo.

African Union calls emergency meeting as US ends Somalia army funds
The African Union (AU) has called an emergency meeting regarding its military mission in Somalia, AUSSOM, following the United States' announcement to terminate funding to the UN Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS). This funding supports AUSSOM, which provides around 12,000 troops to assist the Somali military in combating the Al-Shabaab insurgency. In a letter dated July 1, the U.S. stated it would stop funding UNSOS by the end of the year and block further UN logistical support to AUSSOM through the Security Council. The U.S. cited Somalia's failure to make progress against Al-Shabaab, take ownership of its security, or implement reforms. The AU and Somali government have not yet responded to requests for comment. Meanwhile, Somalia faces internal political instability due to recent constitutional changes that extended President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's term, leading to opposition and violence. Analysts warn that the lack of progress in security and ongoing political conflict could allow Al-Shabaab to regain ground.

La estadounidense tiene el máximo tiempo de recuperación en Wimbledon.
The article discusses the scheduling of the first-round doubles match at Wimbledon involving American tennis player Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams against the Argentine-Colombian pair Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio. The match was initially scheduled for Thursday and Friday but has been postponed due to Serena's injury during her singles match. Tournament organizer Andy Murray (likely a misstatement, as Andy Murray is a British player, and the correct name might be someone like Ashley Barker or another official) stated they are giving Serena as much time as possible to recover. They ruled out postponing the match to later dates unless necessary for safety or tournament flow. The match is expected to take place on a larger court to accommodate the large crowd attracted by Serena and Venus, who are major stars. Serena returned to professional tennis after four years, but she lost her first singles match and injured her knee. She did not attend a press conference afterward due to health reasons and expressed her commitment to participating in the doubles event. Serena and Venus have won six doubles titles together, including a title in 2016.

This follows a large-scale Russian attack on Kyiv earlier in the week which killed at least 30 people and injured around 100 others. In response to the attacks, Ukraine conducted missile strikes on Belgorod in Russia, causing a fire at an energy facility and killing one woman, according to Russian media. The overnight strike on the city of Romny in the Sumy region hit a residential building, killing two women and injuring a man, reported regional administrator Oleh Hryhorov via Telegram.

Education crisis demands leadership, investment, not policy changes – Obi
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), argues that Nigeria's education crisis requires sustained investment, strong leadership, and improved infrastructure rather than merely changing policies. He highlights the failure of the current policy separating junior and senior secondary schools, citing poor performance in recent West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE). Obi criticizes the federal government for allocating less than 6% of the 2026 budget to education, well below UNESCO's recommended 15–20%. He points out that underfunding has prevented Nigeria from supporting students in international STEM competitions and contrasts this with the government's ability to fund foreign conferences. Obi references his tenure as Anambra State governor, during which significant investments in education led to improved outcomes, including large-scale laptop acquisitions recognized by HP Africa.

The Nigerian SME Growth Playbook: How Digital Tools Are Turning Ambition into Reality
The article discusses the role of digital tools in transforming the growth potential of Nigerian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It highlights the resilience and ambition of Nigeria's nearly 40 million SMEs, which contribute significantly to the economy by driving innovation and job creation. According to Mastercard's SME Confidence Index, 81% of Nigerian SMEs are optimistic about the next year, with 68% expecting revenue growth. The report emphasizes the importance of digital payments for future success, noting that all surveyed businesses consider them essential. However, the article identifies a 'acceptance gap' between consumers who are ready to pay digitally and merchants unable to receive such payments due to high costs. Mastercard is addressing this issue through 'hardware-lite' solutions like QR-on-Card, which enable 1.8 million Nigerian SMEs and gig workers to accept payments without additional hardware. The piece also mentions challenges in cross-border transactions, citing the World Bank's data on high transaction costs in Sub-Saharan Africa.

En el Pacífico tropical se han producido condiciones de El Niño, según los investigadores
El artículo informa que los investigadores de la organización de Ciencias de la Tierra de Nueva Zelanda (ESNZ) han identificado condiciones consistentes con el fenómeno climático de El Niño en el Pacífico tropical. Advierten que es probable que los impactos en el clima de Nueva Zelanda se intensifiquen en los próximos meses.

Los efectos se proyectan para alcanzar su punto máximo durante el verano del hemisferio sur, que abarca desde finales de 2023 hasta principios de 2024. Según el investigador principal Chris Brandolini, este evento de El Niño es al menos comparable en fuerza a cinco de los El Niños más fuertes registrados en la historia moderna. El artículo describe las expectativas regionales de lluvias, señalando la posibilidad de precipitación por debajo del promedio en algunas áreas y por encima de los niveles normales en otras.
