Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:04:21 GMT

SAINT-ETIENNE, France (AP) — Monday rolled around and Australia coach Eddie Jones joked that he hoped Sunday had just been a mere nightmare.A nightmare in which Fijians kept pickpocketing his Wallabies and souvenired a Rugby World Cup win from them for the first time.“I woke up in the morning hoping the result was different but it was still the same,” Jones said.Another reality bite was confirmation that captain Will Skelton and tighthead prop Taniela Tupou will also miss their suddenly must-win pool game against Wales on Sunday in Lyon. Hooker Jordan Uelese was also stood down for 12 days because of a head injury after coming off the bench against Fiji.Skelton and Tupou were injured in training last week, and their absence was a blow to a young Wallabies side which was outhustled by Fiji 22-15 in Saint-Etienne. Fiji last beat Australia in 1954, before Elvis Presley had a hit record.The Wallabies must beat Wales next or they face not advancing from a Rugby World Cup pool for t...

ANÁLISIS | Líderes mundiales se reúnen esta semana en la ONU. Esto es lo que hay que ver

(CNN) — Después de miles de discursos, reuniones y recepciones la próxima semana en la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas, (UNGA), las ONU está preparada para anunciar la Paz Mundial al final del evento global… OK, no.Ojalá. La verdad es que los temas de la cumbre de dos semanas parecen más numerosos, volátiles y difíciles de resolver que en cualquier otra Asamblea General de la ONU: la guerra de Rusia en Ucrania, las letales inundaciones en Libia, los múltiples golpes de Estado en África, la financiación económica Norte-Sur, la violenta crisis en Haití y el cambio climático, por nombrar algunos.El hecho de que el presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, sea el único líder de los cinco miembros permanentes del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU que asistirá al evento puede debilitar el impacto del mismo.

Japan Airlines wants to help you leave your suitcase at home

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:04:21 GMT

(CNN) — Unsure what to pack from your wardrobe for a vacation to Japan? If you’re flying with Japan Airlines, the answer could be nothing at all.Japan’s flag carrier has started a year-long trial of a service that allows travelers to book a set of clothes — covering different sartorial styles and seasons — and receive it at their hotel upon arrival. At the end of the stay the clothes are returned, to be washed and cycled back into the system.Called Any Wear, Anywhere, the service runs through the end of August 2024 and Japan Airlines says it could cut carbon emissions by reducing the weight carried by its airplanes.Any Wear, Anywhere estimates that about 22 pounds (10 kilograms) saved in luggage equals about 16.5 pounds (7.5 kilograms) saved in emissions — the equivalent of running a hair dryer 10 minutes a day for 78 days.“I love traveling and I’ve been to many foreign countries, but I’ve always dreaded dragging around luggage or doing laundry abroad,” says Miho Moriya, who came up...
