Man gets Mercedes stuck on world-famous Roman landmark
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here An 80-year-old man drove a compact luxury Mercedes-Benz A Class sedan down the landmark Spanish Steps in Rome this week before getting stuck partway down, municipal police said in a statement. The man tested negative for alcohol, and was cited on the spot for driving down the monument in Rome's historic centre, police said. Police said the man, a resident of Rome, was at a loss to explain how he had wound up driving down the famed steps. An 80-year-old driver in Rome managed to get his Mercedes stuck on the city's famed Spanish Steps. (9News) They did not release his name and it was unclear if the car was his. The small sporty car was later removed by firefighters using a crane. Police did not respond to requests for more details about the dynamics of the apparent accident. One of Rome's most recognisable monuments, the Spanish Steps have never been intended for motor vehicles, although some thrill seekers have tried their luck. A Saudi man was charged with aggravated damage to cultural heritage after a surveillance camera recorded him driving a rented Maserati down the 135 travertine steps in 2022. The Spanish Steps take their name from the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See in the nearby square. A famed background for numerous films, they were built in the 1720s and have long been a popular spot to people watch and hang out. rome accidents driving Italy Europe World CONTACT US Property News: The last inner Sydney suburbs where houses cost under $2m.

Real held by Inzaghi's Al Hilal in CWC opener
PA Media/dpa London Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso and Al Hilal counterpart Simone Inzaghi had to make do with a share of the spoils as they launched the latest phase of their careers with a 1-1 Club World Cup draw. On a night when new Real head coach Alonso handed debuts to summer signings Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, it was another former Premier League player who helped to ensure it finished level in Group H. Ruben Neves converted a 41st-minute penalty to cancel out Gonzalo Garcia's opener at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, but his efforts would have counted for little had goalkeeper Bono not saved Federico Valverde's stoppage-time spot-kick. The Saudi side were first to threaten with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Neves and Marcos Leonardo all going close inside the opening 10 minutes. Renan Lodi thought he had given Inzaghi's men a 19th-minute lead only for an offside flag to quickly halt his celebrations. Central defender Hassan Altambakti headed a 27th-minute Neves corner wide as Al Hilal continued to enjoy the better of a game, and Alonso was vociferous with his players as they headed for the sideline for a water break. Whatever he said appeared to have an immediate impact with Rodrygo sending a left-foot shot over before sliding in a low cross at the end of a fluent counter-attack which was dispatched by Garcia with 11 minutes of the half remaining. A poor first-touch prevented Garcia from making the most of Jude Bellingham's 38th-minute through-ball, and Al Hilal were level with four minutes of the half remaining when, after Raul Asencio had pulled back Leonardo, former Wolves midfielder Neves calmly sent Courtois the wrong way from the spot. Skipper Salem Al-Dawsari might have put his side ahead as the whistle approached, but his curling attempt after he had exchanged passes with Milinkovic-Savic was deflected just wide. Asencio did not return for the second half and replacement Arda Guler rattled the crossbar from Vinicius' cross within seconds of his arrival before Garcia's header was improbably clawed away by Bono. Alexander-Arnold was starting to make his presence felt down the right and as Bellingham picked up the baton, the Spaniards began to dominate. However, they could not find a way past their opponents' rearguard. And even when they looked to have been handed an escape when they were awarded a stoppage-time penalty for Yasser Al-Qahtani's swinging arm on Fran Garcia, Valverde's spot-kick was saved superbly by Bono.

Not only US, Pakistan reached out to Saudis too when India launched Operation Sindoor, reveals Ishaq Dar
Dar said Saudi Prince Faisal bin Salman personally inquired whether he could convey Pakistan's willingness to halt hostilities to Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, revealing that Riyadh was involved in behind-the-scenes diplomacy read more Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has confirmed that Islamabad reached out not only to US but also Saudi Arabia in a bid to de-escalate tensions after India's airstrikes under Operation Sindoor. Pakistan Deputy PM Ishaq Dar' openly admits 2 things in this interview 📍India struck the Nir Khan Air base and Shorkot Air base 📍 Ishaq Dar' says Saudi Prince Faisal called him asking "Am I authorised to talk to Jaishankar also and CONVEY ..and you are READY TO TALK"… — OsintTV 📺 (@OsintTV) June 19, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Speaking to Geo News, Dar said Saudi Prince Faisal bin Salman personally inquired whether he could convey Pakistan's willingness to halt hostilities to Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, revealing that Riyadh was involved in behind-the-scenes diplomacy. Dar also confirmed that India's precision strikes targeted key Pakistani military installations, including the Nur Khan and Shorkot airbases just as Pakistan was preparing to launch retaliatory strikes, a disclosure that sharply contradicts Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's earlier claims of a triumphant operation. 'Saudi Prince Faisal bin Salman called and asked if he could tell Jaishankar that Pakistan is ready to stop,' Geo News quoted Dar as saying. Dar's candid acknowledgment contradicts earlier official statements by the Pakistani leadership, which had emphasised that Pakistan delivered a decisive blow to India during Operation Sindoor. In reality, Dar's comments, along with PM Sharif's own recent statements, suggest that Pakistan was caught off guard by India's rapid and targeted military action. Just days after the strikes, Pakistan's military — under the command of Army Chief General Asim Munir — was reportedly reeling from the impact of India's surprise offensive, which disrupted planned counterattacks. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD General Munir, who has since been promoted to Field Marshal, described India's actions as an attempt to impose a 'new normal' — referring to its cross-border precision strikes on terror-linked facilities across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. 'India attempted to establish a 'new normal' — a dangerous precedent of crossing international borders at will,' Dawn quoted General Munir as saying at a gathering of overseas Pakistanis in Washington. Adding to the shift in narrative, PM Sharif recently admitted that India had launched BrahMos missile strikes targeting multiple locations, including Rawalpindi airport. 'India again launched missile attacks, BrahMos, and hit Pakistan's various provinces, including airport in Rawalpindi and other places,' said Sharif. He added that Pakistan's planned counterstrike for 4:30 am on May 10 was preempted by India's offensive on the night of May 9-10, catching the military off guard. Together, these acknowledgments present a sharp shift from Islamabad's earlier boasts, revealing instead a defensive scramble against India's 'new normal.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India carried out precision strikes under 'Operation Sindoor' on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir early on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. Following the Indian action, Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10. The Indian forces launched a fierce counter-attack on several Pakistani military installations. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes. With inputs from agencies
