Shipping firm Maersk temporarily pauses Haifa port calls
[COPENHAGEN] Container shipping company Maersk said on Friday (Jun 20) it had temporarily paused vessel calls at Israel's Haifa port, amid the country's escalating conflict with Iran. The Danish company said it had not experienced any further disruptions to its scheduled operations in the region. Haifa port, which was privatised in 2022, is owned 70 per cent by India's Adani Ports while the remaining 30 per cent is held by Israel's Gadot Group. Adani Ports is the ports operating arm of Adani Group, led by billionaire Gautam Adani. Including Haifa port, the company operates four ports outside Indian waters. A spokesperson for the Adani Group did not immediately respond to Reuters' email and text messages requesting comment. Israel has been hitting Iran from the air since last Friday in what it describes as an effort to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran has denied plans to develop such weapons and has retaliated by launching counterstrikes on Israel. On Thursday, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said it had launched combined missile and drone attacks at military and industrial sites linked to Israel's defence industry in Haifa and Tel Aviv. REUTERS

FAI urged to shut its door to UEFA over treatment of Drogheda United
It is terrible the way Drogheda United have been treated by UEFA. And it is time for the Drogs of War to go into battle because sporting success should always be determined by what happens on the pitch. While UEFA changed the rules for those who are part of multi-club ownership models, the whole thing still feels bizarre. That is why Monday was such a shocking day for Drogheda when it became clear the club had lost its appeal to the Court of Arbitration and Sport - meaning they would be unable to play in this season's UEFA Conference League. Read more: Drogheda United co-chairman says owners will stump up cash to cover Conference League exit Read more: Jack Grealish's true colours shown amid Man City transfer speculation If that was bad, things would then get even worse on Monday night. Despite taking the lead against Shamrock Rovers, they were then pinned back by a free kick scored by Graham Burke just before half-time before losing 2-1 via Aaron Greene's winner. And that made it a Black Monday that Drogheda are unlikely to ever forget. Of course there is nothing wrong with UEFA looking at multi club ownership and demanding sporting integrity. Nobody would want games taking place in sporting competition where two clubs owned by the same people could potentially be giving direction as to who should win. But there was no danger of such a scenario unfolding with Drogheda United. And that is why Drogheda United co-chairman Ben Boycott was right to state that his club was made an example of. Trivela, who now own Drogheda as well as Danish side Silkeborg, have put forward many potential solutions to ensure fair play would prevail. I believe Drogheda are spot-on to say the UEFA process has 'lacked consistency, clarity and fairness'. Multi-club ownership exists all the way through the world of football. According to a UEFA statement in March, 342 clubs are currently part of Multi-Club Ownership. In English football, 16 clubs in the Premier League, 10 in the Championship, 13 in League Two are involved in clubs with ownership involvement from the same people. Just look at Manchester City. They are a majority owned club by some of the richest people in Abu Dhabi. The City football group owns stakes in clubs in the UK, USA, Australia, India, Japan, Spain, Brazil, Uruguay, Belgium, China, Italy and Turkey. And there is no doubt if Drogheda United was part of the City global group then there is no way UEFA would have gone to war with the Drogs. That is why this week's events ask serious questions of the FAI. It is their licensing process that has allowed the Trivela Group to be majority owners of Drogheda need to understand what an absolute disaster this was for both Drogheda United and Irish football. Can you imagine if those in charge at Abbotstown made it clear to the top brass of UEFA that if they made an example of any Irish club - then the FAI would call in their own Drogs of War. Had they made it clear that the FAI and Irish football would never lie down and be bullied by the inconsistencies of UEFA, they would have made a massive statement. Anyone looking at this case will be able to see that Drogheda were treated very differently to any other club. And the fact they have been made an example of is something the FAI should never, ever accept. I demand that those in charge at Abbotstown come out now and fight against this injustice. The FAI must make it very clear to UEFA that unless a remedy is found to Drogheda's situation then the two bodies will be at war. That doesn't mean firing guns. But it does mean the FAI telling UEFA they are no longer welcome in Ireland. The FAI should shut the door on UEFA and make it clear no one from their organisation is welcome on these shores. If they do this, the FAI will win respect. If they don't, they will never be respected again.

A popular inn on the shores of Loch Ness that is owned by Scotland's richest man would be turned into a sauna, bakery and beach cafe under new plans. The Dores Inn, situated right on the water's edge of the loch about ten miles south of Inverness, was bought by Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen late last year.

A bakery and two new jetties would be created at the site if the expansion is approved. The existing car park and public toilets would also be overhauled. A proposal of application notice was lodged late last month.

Under the plans, the Dores Inn would reopen in 2026/27. The Dores Inn, near Inverness | Google Maps Pop-up food and refreshments, alongside outside covered seating, have been run at the site in the interim. Public exhibitions on the plans for Dores Inn will be run by WildLand on June 27-28. WildLand chief executive Tim Kirkwood said: "The Dores Inn sits at the heart of a much-loved community setting. As we explore options for its restoration and long-term operation, we're committed to involving the community from the outset.

We want the future of this site to reflect the needs and values of the people who know it best and value it as much as we do.' A large area of fields to the north of the inn has been highlighted in the initial application and is expected to form part of the expansion plans. Council planners are set to consider the expansion for approval by a deadline of August 20. The Dores inn has been a historic landmark of the area, having been visited by Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Phillip in 1967.

Mr Povlsen, who forged much of his fortune in the fashion retail business, has focused his investments in Scotland in large-scale nature restoration projects and his 'Scandi-Scot' style of high-end hospitality. Lavinia Turner, head of region at WildLand Loch Ness, said of the inn's redevelopment: "The Dores Inn has always been more than a pub - it's a gathering place, a gateway to the loch, and an important part of local life.

Justin McManus At Oppen, while the inspiration is Denmark, the menu is a marvellous Melbourne mash-up so there was no doubt avocado had to make an appearance – smashed, dolloped over toast, and further dressed up with Danish feta and dukkah. So far, so cafe, right? But then it gets radical. Vegemite and avocado are BFFs – the spread's salt and the avo's creamy sweetness play so nicely. Yet Oppen does not merely scoop black gold out of the jar. Instead, they take it up a notch or five by spreading the 'Mite super thin on baking paper and dehydrating it for three days, thus transforming inky sludge into translucent black shards. These paper-thin slivers are showered over the whole shebang, bringing visual excitement and crisp, textural play to a classic flavour combination.
