'They dropped deeper,' the 22-year-old continued. 'And we did well to win, it was really important for us to do so.' But Asllani made clear that 'we have to improve.'

'And we have to grow together.' Advertisement Meanwhile, of Inter's physical condition, Asllani noted that 'all the teams are tired.' 'But we don't care about that.

'We were together for a few days,' Asllani noted. 'And a lot of players are still absent.'

Mystery crop circle with Joker face appears in field near UK historic landmark
A giant crop circle has suddenly appeared in a field near Bush Barrow, just a few hundred yards from Stonehenge, with the design featuring a clown's scary smile A mystery crop circle has appeared just metres from Stonehenge with the giant design featuring a clown's face. The huge crop formation is located in a field near Bush Barrow, just a few hundred yards from the iconic Neolithic stones in Wiltshire. Incredibly, the design depicts a clown with horns on it's head and features a scary-looking 'Joker' smile. Expert Hugh Newman, who has been studying the phenomena for years, has never seen anything like it before. "It's a new one for me,' Hugh revealed. "It's different from the usual designs. Some think it's aliens, some think it's people who make them. "But crop circles are remarkable in their own way. They've been recorded for years going back centuries and nobody ever sees them being created. "They have incredible geometric shapes and have been influencing culture for years. They are remarkable land art. They're like the Banksys of the fields.' Crop circles appear usually overnight, often in fields of wheat and corn. There are many theories about their formation which include earth energies, gravitational forces and even extra-terrestrial origins. The UK is a world hotspot for the mysterious formations, particularly in the south-west, with Wiltshire and Hampshire leading the way. Many enthusiasts believed they were caused by UFO landings, while some said magnetic shifts were behind the phenomenon. Others believe their origins come from ley lines – seams of spiritual energy that intersect sacred sites including Stonehenge. Some scientists accepted hoaxers had created intricate circles, but said other simpler versions were formed by magnetic shifts. They claimed magnetic fields gave rise to a current which electrocuted the crops, forcing them to lie flat on the ground. Monique Klinkenbergh, researcher and founder of the Crop Circle Visitor Centre & Exhibition, said in 2023: 'There are obviously man-made ones out there. But if you listen to eyewitness accounts, the unexplained circles have one thing in common. "They were formed in minutes, or seconds. There is definitely a mystery going on, but it's very hard to label the source, whether it is extra-terrestrial, paranormal or just nature. Wiltshire is so famous for its sites of heritage, and I believe the crop circles are attracted to those places.' The crop circle formed as thousands of people watched the sunrise over Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice, signifying the end of spring. Those who gathered for the spectacle on Saturday at the Neolithic monument braved a warm start to the morning as they marked the year's longest day. Solstice events at Stonehenge mark some of the rare occasions visitors are allowed close to the stones at the World Heritage site. English Heritage said around 25,000 people were at Stonehenge, with more than 400,000 views from around the world on the charity's livestream of the sunrise, which was greeted by the traditional drumming, chanting and cheering.

Bayesian yacht taken to Sicilian town for full investigation into sinking
Seven people died when the Bayesian sank off Sicily on August 19 including billionaire Mr Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18. The vessel was held above the water by one of Europe's most powerful floating sea cranes, which set off from the fishing village Porticello at around 1.10pm local time. It was held in front of the crane as it moved. The vessel arrived in Termini Imerese, a town around 12 milies away at just after 3pm on Sunday. It will then be moved into a specially manufactured steel cradle, which has a tarpaulin underneath for pollution prevention. Salvage workers on site, not accompanying the vessel to port, are conducting a 'full sweep' of the seabed near Porticello for any potential debris, a project insider said. Italian prosecutors previously said raising and examining the yacht for evidence would provide key information for its investigation into the sinking. It will also aid the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report on what happened. Simon Graves, an MAIB investigator, previously told the PA news agency: 'When the wreck is brought ashore, we'll be completing a full examination of the wreck and we'll be finding out all of the elements that might have contributed to the safety of the vessel.' Further details such as 'escape routes' will be included in its final report on the sinking, according to Mr Graves, who added: 'Once we get access to the vessel we'll be able to tell a fuller picture of activities on board and the sequence of events.' The vessel was originally expected to be raised last month but salvage efforts were delayed after a diver died during underwater work on May 9, prompting greater use of remote-controlled equipment. About 70 specialist personnel had been mobilised to Porticello from across Europe to work on the recovery operation. Inquest proceedings in the UK are looking at the deaths of Mr Lynch and his daughter, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71, who were all British nationals. Fifteen people, including Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, were rescued. Mr Lynch and his daughter were said to have lived in the vicinity of London and the Bloomers lived in Sevenoaks, Kent.

Erbil attracts Iraqi tourists despite regional tensions
Shafaq News/ Domestic tourism in Erbil remains steady despite heightened regional tensions, with visitors from across Iraq continuing to flock to the capital of the Kurdistan Region in search of cooler weather, natural landscapes, and security. Tourists traveling to popular destinations such as Keli Ali Beg and Bekhal valleys described Erbil as a calm and welcoming escape, offering distance from the political and military turmoil unfolding in the Middle East. Kassar, a visitor from Baghdad, called the Kurdish capital's atmosphere peaceful and refreshing. 'We came to Erbil because of its cool weather and the sense of comfort it brings,' he remarked to Shafaq News. 'It's far from the noise of conflict, and the environment here helps us relax.' That sense of relief has become a key draw. Erbil's appeal lies not only in its mountain resorts and green landscapes but also in the perception of safety. 'There are no risks for visitors here, which makes it preferable to staying in Baghdad,' Kassar added. For others, the region offers a welcome contrast to Iraq's southern provinces. Hussein Baqir Hassan, who arrived from Basra with his family, explained that the trip provided a break from high temperatures and the pressures of daily life. 'We came on Monday to give our families a change of scenery and some relief from the heat and school responsibilities,' he noted. He pointed to Erbil's natural charm and mild climate as key factors that attract families looking for an enjoyable destination. 'The weather is pleasant, and the atmosphere is different from Basra. It's a great option for everyone.' Tour operators are also registering sustained interest. Abdullah Hassan, director of a local tourism company, observed that visitors from various Iraqi provinces continue to arrive in the region. 'The stable security situation and moderate weather across the Kurdistan Region, especially in Erbil, make it an attractive destination compared to other provinces experiencing extreme heat,' he emphasized to Shafaq News.
