Football Daily | France’s fab front four make them incomparable World Cup favourites

We can all agree the Geopolitics World Cup has gone on far too long, so Football Daily is pleased to announce it is over. It monopolises everyone’s time, changes sleeping, eating and drinking patterns, leaving everyone tired and poorer. No one wants to stay up for further 2am BST kick-offs or attempt to watch a couple of games a day. Frankly, the process has been completely futile since the first ball was kicked.

Please hand over the trophy to France and save some carbon emissions (and the embarrassment of other teams). Just one of Mbappé, Olise, Dembélé, Rabiot or Barcola would be enough for most teams. They are currently the Duplantis of the football world, ironic given their last victim was Sweden” – Krishna Moorthy.

Responding to Antony Crossley’s letter, as an American, I agree there are important reasons to berate our country, but chocolate?! There are a large variety of high quality dark, organic, and fair-trade chocolates available here if one knows enough to avoid the corporate swill. You could berate America for its almost universally over-salted restaurant food but folk from a nation that exalts Heinz baked beans for breakfast (so disappointing!) should be careful about starting food fights. OK, I’m tuning back into Telemundo now. Cheers” – Steve Plever.

Please don’t turn Football Daily into a poetry forum (yesterday’s letters). I find the old jokes and football ‘analysis’ difficult enough as it is, OK?” – Z Snook.

Seca ameaça produção de açúcar na França sem previsão de chuva

Beterrabas açucareiras colhidas são vistas em um campo nos arredores de Voinsles, França REUTERS/Abdul Saboor/Foto de arquivo Uma seca prolongada está ameaçando a produção de açúcar na França, o maior produtor da União Europeia, sem previsão de chuva nas principais regiões produtoras de beterraba nas próximas duas semanas, segundo os produtores, enquanto as preocupações com as safras europeias impulsionam uma alta nos preços do açúcar. 🗒️ Tem alguma sugestão de reportagem? Mande para o g1 O preço do açúcar branco subiu quase 10% na última semana, atingindo na quarta-feira a maior alta em 9 meses e meio, impulsionado também pelo fenômeno climático El Niño na Ásia. Os preços haviam caído para o menor nível em mais de cinco anos no início deste ano devido à oferta abundante, prejudicando os lucros das usinas de açúcar. A Europa tem enfrentado uma onda de calor recorde que causou centenas de mortes em excesso e perturbou a vida cotidiana por mais de uma semana, com previsão de que o calor volte a se intensificar na próxima semana em países como França e Alemanha. Agora no g1 “A água é fundamental para a beterraba sacarina. Se não chover nas próximas duas semanas, será catastrófico”, disse Franck Sander, presidente da CGB, associação francesa de produtores de beterraba. A Météo France não prevê chuvas nas planícies de beterraba sacarina ao redor de Paris e no norte da França até pelo menos 14 de julho. Produção de açúcar da UE deve cair 15% Até o momento, a situação na França é desigual, com beterrabas apresentando folhas secas em alguns campos, enquanto outras estão se saindo melhor, disse Sander. Em sua última previsão divulgada em 26 de junho, a Comissão Europeia estimou a produção de açúcar da UE na safra 2026/27 em 14,13 milhões de toneladas métricas, uma queda de 15% em relação à safra 2025/26. Isso se deveu a uma redução de 9% na área plantada e a uma queda de 6,5% na produtividade. A maior queda na produtividade esperada foi registrada na França, mas a Comissão também previu uma queda nos outros dois principais produtores, Alemanha e Polônia. “A seca na França ainda é bastante grave. Os baixos índices de chuva continuarão afetando o extremo oeste da Europa por pelo menos os próximos dez dias e, possivelmente, por duas semanas”, afirmou o corretor e consultor independente do setor açucareiro Michael McDougall. Os agricultores franceses também estão preocupados com a propagação da doença do amarelecimento após fortes infestações de pulgões no início da safra, disse Sander. O vírus devastou as plantações em 2020 depois que a União Europeia proibiu alguns pesticidas neonicotinóides usados para proteger as culturas, citando evidências de que eles prejudicavam as abelhas. A França concedeu isenções temporárias em 2021 e 2022 depois que agricultores e produtores de açúcar afirmaram que a proibição ameaçava a viabilidade do setor. As isenções foram posteriormente revogadas pelo Conselho de Estado da França, após uma decisão do tribunal superior da UE. O Parlamento está debatendo uma nova isenção esta semana como uma emenda a um projeto de lei agrícola mais abrangente. A ministra da Agricultura afirmou que não se opõe à medida, mas preferiria que ela fosse debatida separadamente para reduzir o risco de o projeto de lei mais amplo ser rejeitado. Espera-se uma decisão final ainda este mês. No entanto, ela chegaria tarde demais para afetar a safra deste ano, já que os pulgões geralmente infectam as plantas na primavera e os sintomas surgem no verão.

Ai Weiwei: Button Up! review – skeleton chandeliers, a real-life temple – and too much silly Lego

Aviva Studios, Manchester
The artist’s latest show is a staggering takedown of colonial history, warfare and the migrant crisis, featuring buttons by the tonne and richly perfumed tea

History has repeated itself all over Ai Weiwei’s vast exhibition of monumental sculpture in Manchester. The flags of long-lost nations hang from the ceiling, bronzes looted by dead empires have been recast and reclaimed, dilapidated ancient ruins have been rebuilt. Everywhere you look here, you will find death, exploitation, greed and suffering from across human history, brought back to life and put morbidly on display. The first thing you see is a black glass chandelier made of skeletons – The Human Comedy – and a wall covered in images of the most powerful bombs ever invented. Like a head on a stake, this is art as warning.

This massive, ambitious exhibition is the Chinese artist at his most monumental, and as a result at his most effective. His subject matter works best at enormous scale, blown up, expanded, shoved in your face. Lining the back wall of this warehouse is a giant inflatable dinghy, 100 metres long, filled with figures in lifejackets. Think you can ignore the migrant crisis? Not here you can’t, because Ai has taken everyday, normalised tragedy and made it into a monument. He spent years interviewing hundreds of refugees, meeting people desperate for safety and a new life and produced a huge amount of work about it. This is the culmination of that project. Is it a good-looking work of art? Not really, but it makes a point, and makes it loudly.

A look back at two decades of xenophobic flare-ups in South Africa

It's a familiar story for South Africans -- this is the biggest such demonstrations since 2008, when a wave of anti-migrant violence spread across the country. Nearly two decades earlier, in May 2008, a wave of xenophobic riots started in Johannesburg before spreading across the country.
