Ceasefire on Israel-Gaza border largely holds as UN warns sides are on ʼbrink of warʼ A ceasefire announced by Hamas largely held along the Israel-Gaza border on Sunday, a day after the most intense exchange of fire between Israel and the Palestinian group since the 2014 Gaza war.

tinian health officials said, while a Hamas rocket injured four Israelis. Hamas, which has ruled the Gaza Strip since 2007, and Islamic Jihad announced the Egyptian and UNbrokered ceasefire late Saturday. The Israeli military said its response would depend on the situation on the ground. After the ceasefire announcement, four mortars were fired into Israel early Sunday. In response, Israeli planes destroy at least one launch site. Israel also carried out three airstrikes later in the day on what it said were Hamas squads launching incendiary balloons and kites across the border.
Brooks Koepka: US golfer named PGA Tour player of the year Brooks Koepka has been named as the PGA Tour player of the year for 2018. The American this year won the US PGA Championship and became the first golfer since 1989 to clinch backto-back US Open titles. Koepka, 28, won the award ahead of Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Open champion Francesco Molinari, Justin Rose and Justin Thomas. PGA Tour members who have played in at least 15 FedEx Cup events in the 2017-18
season were eligible to vote. Rumours of an argument between Koepka and world number one Johnson at the Ryder Cup, which were denied at the time, have since been confirmed by US captain Jim Furyk. "Whatever altercation started, or what happened, it was very brief," Furyk said. "Theyʼre like brothers. Brothers may argue, brothers get into it. But theyʼre as close as theyʼve ever been, and it really had no effect on either one of them."
France recovers seven bodies from collapsed Marseille buildings Marseille Mayor Jean-Claude Gaudin said on Thursday that seven bodies had been recovered fromtwo collapsed buildingsnear the Mediterranean cityʼs Old Port area. Authorities believe one person may still be trapped under the rubble. The chances of finding survivors "are thin, very thin, but real," said Charles-Henri Garie, who leads the water brigades of the Marseille fire department. Gaudin is under pressure to resign afterthe buildings collapsed on Monday. "Some people are taking advantage of this in opposition to societyʼs interests," Gaudin said.
US sanctions on Iran raise concern in Turkey The Trump administration announced sanctions against Iran earlier this week, with a strong focus on hitting the countryʼs oil and petrochemical sectors especially hard. So far, however, Turkey and seven other nations have been spared the US presidentʼs wrath as they were allowed to continue importing Iranian oil. But the sixmonth exemption from the ban granted to Turkey seems only cold comfort for the countryʼs companies and businesses, which have enjoyed booming trade with Tehran in recent years. They fear a massive slump in their business with the neighboring Mullah regime.

Senegal to become Africaʼs first Olympic host
Senegalʼs President Macky Sall was in Buenos Aires to see IOC members confirm the executive boardʼs preference for his country over the other three candidates. The youth games will be held in three places: Dakar; a new city of Diamniadio, close to the capital; and the coastal resort of Saly. Sall said the government-backed project will build a 50,000-seat Olympic Stadium for the event which will held in May or June, at the end of the dry season, to "greatly reduce the prevalence of tropical diseases," IOC vice president Ugur Erdener told the membership. a new city of Diamniadio, close to the capital; and the coastal resort of Saly.

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge thinks that a European Super League is bound to become a reality in the future. The Bavarian chairman made the remark in an interview this week with German football magazine 11 Freunde. "I suspect that this league will come one day. But donʼt ask me when," Rummenigge said. But in taking part in its creation, the Bayern CEO said no thanks."I am glad that the formation no longer falls under my responsibility as (former) head of the ECA (European Clubs Association)," he emphasized.
The European Super League idea is centered on narrowing the current Champions League to only the top 16 teams. The proposal has only been discussed, but so far there are no concrete plans to implement it. But the proposal has sparked a debate over the future of European football. In particular, declining viewership of the current Champions League has driven some to support the move. At the same time, the Super Leagueʼs main victims would be smaller teams and domestic federations.
