  3. Hopeful for Labour, encouraging for the Liberal Democrats and the Greens, but only a little short of calamitous for the Conservatives. These are the key messages to have emerged from the ballot boxes. After all but 40 of the results were declared, Labour had made a net gain of nearly 450 seats, the Liberal Democrats well over 250, and the Greens more than 180. The Conservatives, in contrast, had lost more than 800 seats and seem at serious risk of losing 1,000 seats in the final tally. Meanwhile, Labour had gained control of 17 councils, and the Liberal Democrats seven. Labour had particular reason to be pleased with its successes in Middlesbrough, Medway, Plymouth, Stoke-on-Trent, and Swindon, all of which were by far from guaranteed to fall into Labour's lap. Among the Liberal Democrats' gains were Windsor and Maidenhead, and three councils in Devon - in the middle of their traditional former heartlands in the South West. What could it mean for a general election? However, these gains only tell us who is up and who is down since the last time most of the seats were contested. That was in May 2019, when both the Conservatives and Labour were low in the polls in the wake of splits over Brexit. They do not address the big question which politicians, commentators and the public want answered - namely, is Labour on course for a potential general election victory next year, as the polls suggest? To answer that we need to take an in-depth look at votes cast. The BBC has collected the detailed ward by ward voting figures in 45 of the 230 councils where elections were held on Thursday and used these to estimate the projected national share. This represents an estimate of what the outcome would have been if all of Britain had had the chance to vote on Thursday, and those places that did not vote had followed the example of those that did. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65475817
  4. Rats are thin-tailed, medium-size rodents that are found all over the world. Rats are thin-tailed, medium-size rodents that originated in Asia and Australia but are now found all over the world. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, but other rodent genera are also referred to as rats and share many of the same characteristics. What's the difference between rats and mice? Rats are generally larger, with longer, thinner bodies and long legs. Here's everything you need to know about rats, their habitats, behaviors and more. How big can rats get? With nearly 60 species of rat discovered so far, these rodents come in all sizes. They are typically 5 inches (12 centimeters), or longer, according to Encyclopedia Britannica(opens in new tab). The largest species of rat is the Bosavi woolly rat, which was discovered in 2009 in the rainforest of Papua New Guinea (and doesn't have a scientific name yet). It is about the size of a cat — 32.2 inches (82 cm) from nose to tail and weighs around 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kilograms), according to CNN(opens in new tab). Sponsored Links The Secret to Speaking a New Language Fluently Babbel "It's a true rat, the same kind you find in the city sewers," Kris Helgen(opens in new tab), expedition team member and Chief Scientist and Director of the Australian Museum Research Institute, told CNN. One of the smallest rats ever discovered is Osgood's Vietnamese rat (Rattus osgoodi). It is typically 5 to 7 inches (12 to 17 cm) long. According to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.(opens in new tab), male rats are called bucks; females are does. Infants are called pups or kittens. A group of rats is called a mischief. Where do rats live? Rats are found all over the world. For example, the ricefield rat (Rattus argentiventer) is found in Southeast Asia, the Australian swamp rat (Rattus lutreolus) is found in Eastern Australia, and Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), also called brown rats, are found on every continent of the world except Antarctica, according to the Animal Diversity Web at the University of Michigan(opens in new tab). The brown and the house rat (Rattus rattus) are the most common rats in the world because they have taken boats to every country over the past few centuries. House rats typically like warmer climates, while brown rats live in temperate climates. They typically live anywhere humans live. Many rat species also live in trees. link: https://www.livescience.com/52342-rats.html
  5. Caterham is working on a new electric two-seater completely unrelated to the Seven, according to a report by the U.K.'s Autocar. Caterham is working on a new two-seat electric sports car, according to a report by Autocar. According to the report, the new sports car is completely unrelated to the Seven, though it will share a lot of the same characteristics. The car is being designed by Anthony Jannarelly, a designer best known for the W Motors Lykan HyperSport. Caterham is only months away from revealing a new two-seat electric sports car, according to a report by Autocar. The British publication spoke with Caterham's lead designer, Anthony Jannarelly, who is best known for the his work on the W Motors Lykan HyperSport. The project has advanced quickly, with Autocar reporting that it was "just an idea in people’s heads" in September and that now a design reveal is imminent. Switching from a front-mounted internal combustion engine to an electric powertrain opens the door for Caterham to evolve, something Jannarelly emphasized to Autocar. As he put it, the intent is to "please the existing Caterham fans while also trying to reach another type of audience." "The principle is always lightness," Jannarelly explained. "And the driving pleasure is a consequence of this lightness. The key words are always simplicity, lightness, and driving joy." Expect a Fresh Look According to Autocar, Caterham CEO Bob Laishley previously confirmed the new EV will hit the manufacturer's ideological pillars but will also distinguish itself from the Seven. That means that besides the cars sharing the basic two-seat design and simple cabin, we shouldn't expect too many other similarities. Switching to an EV powertrain will allow for new styling cues, and possibly a more compact structure. One thing we do know for sure (because Jannarelly confirmed it to Autocar) is that the unnamed future car will not feature the same elongated hood design that the Seven uses, and it could take on a more traditional sports-car shape. Laishley also got into a bit more detail on the construction of the new car, even hinting at a potential roof. “Like the Seven, it will have a steel spaceframe—but a different one—because they're easy to modify in production if you need to," he said to Autocar. link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43793998/electric-caterham-announced-report/
  6. Lionel Messi has apologised to his Paris St-Germain teammates and says he will wait for the club to decide what they want to do with him after making an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia. The Argentina captain was suspended by the club for two weeks for the trip. It followed PSG's home defeat by Lorient on Sunday - their third in six games - when Messi played 90 minutes. "I am sorry for what I did and I wait to see what the club decides," Messi said in a video posted on Instagram. "I honestly thought we were going to have the day off after the match as had happened in the previous weeks. "I had organised this trip to Saudi Arabia having cancelled it previously. This time I couldn't cancel it." Messi is set to leave PSG when his contract expires in the summer. The 35-year-old, who has also been fined by the club, has a role as a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia. PSG manager Christophe Galtier says he had "nothing to do with" Messi's suspension, while also condemning fan protests outside players' homes. "Leo's suspension has added to poor performances, we can't hide behind that," Galtier, 56, said on Friday. "The decision was nothing to do with me. I was informed of the decision. I can't say it has been a pleasant period." PSG top Ligue 1 by five points with five games to play but are out of the Champions League and lost in the last 16 of the French Cup. There were fan protests following their defeat to Lorient. Fans also gathered outside the home of the club's Brazilian forward Neymar on Wednesday, chanting for him to leave the club. The 31-year-old is out for rest of the reason because of an ankle injury. The actions of the supporters prompted the club to increase security at the homes of Messi, Neymar, Italy midfielder Marco Verratti and Galtier, as well as at the club's training ground. "Regarding the protests in front of a player's home, we have to be careful with that. Private life must remain private," said Galtier. "I can understand the anger, the disappointment of our fans. You may protest at the training ground or at the PSG office or after a match at the Parc des Princes but I cannot accept it at anyone's house. "There is a lot of these things happening at the moment, and they can be uncontrollable and dangerous." link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65498845
  7. The absolute dream was a menu with cheese, fruit and plain scones In 2013, my husband, Pete, and I joined the National Trust during a visit to Chartwell, a country house in Kent. After that, on quiet days we’d dust off the handbook of castles, houses, gardens and monuments, but would never go anywhere. Months later, we finally decided on a day at Osterley Park, a mile from home in west London. When we returned, I realised I couldn’t remember a thing about it. I decided to write a blog, outlining where we’d been and what we’d seen, which also motivated us to visit more places. I wanted a common thread to make it more interesting, and immediately thought: scones. They’re synonymous with the National Trust, so I settled on a plan to review the scones at all 244 properties with a tearoom, and set up the National Trust Scones website. My first review was at Petworth House in West Sussex, home to an original manuscript of The Canterbury Tales. The blog faced its first hurdle when we found only cake in the cafe. Disappointed, I ate a slice and left, only to discover a second tearoom on the way out, with scones on the menu. That night, Countryfile was on TV and John Craven was baking National Trust scones. It was a sign. I became single-minded about my endeavour. I’d always head to the tearoom first and order a cream tea with a fruit scone. My review criteria were generous but rigorous. The National Trust is staffed largely by volunteers, so I didn’t want to be too critical. I mentally rated scones out of five, looking for freshness first. If they were fresh, you’re immediately into four territory. Then, the rise. If the top and bottom could easily be separated and they were fresh, it was a five. On a handful of occasions, there were no scones at all. That was a zero. When I first started, approaches to scones varied wildly. Some places would give you two; others would give one so small you needed a microscope to see it. Consistency improved over the years, and the absolute dream was a menu with cheese, fruit and plain scones, plus a scone of the month. Wilf Davies, in a cardigan with a bucket in each hand, surrounded by sheep on his farm Experience: I’ve had the same supper for 10 years Read more The National Trust was aware of my odyssey. When I started, I wondered if I’d be hit with a cease and desist letter, but a few months in, one employee invited me to bake scones with them at Flatford, in Suffolk, which was fun. In 2016, I was asked to write the National Trust Book of Scones, containing 50 recipes, which was amazing. But other than that, I continued my quest undercover. I’m a marketing executive and a Brentford fan, so I had to fit all this around work and football. Pete and I would mostly take day trips. In 2018, he died from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. While he was ill, we did less, but after his death my project kept me going. In August 2019, I took the month off and visited 26 National Trust sites. A group of school friends and their children came with me to Horsey Windpump near Great Yarmouth. This March, aged 49, I visited my final property with my mum, my sister and her other half: Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. Pete and I had been there before and I knew I wanted to end my journey there. The main thing I felt was emotion – that, and: “Thank God there’s a scone.” It was warm, fresh and delicious. It was so good that I went back the next day to see if it was really that great or if I’d just been overwhelmed. link: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/may/05/experience-i-spent-a-decade-eating-scones-in-every-national-trust-tearoom
  8. The leader of Russia's Wagner mercenary group says he will withdraw his troops from the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut on 10 May because of ammunition shortages. Yevgeny Prigozhin's statement came after he posted a video of him walking among his dead fighters' bodies, blaming top Russian defence officials. "Tens of thousands" had been killed and injured there, Prigozhin said. Russia has been trying to capture the eastern city for months, despite its questionable strategic value. Wagner troops have been heavily involved. Earlier this week, US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby - citing newly declassified intelligence - said that more than 20,000 Russian soldiers have been killed and another 80,000 wounded in fighting in Ukraine since December. Half of the dead were from the Wagner group. In his statement on Friday, Prigozhin, 61, pinned his decision to withdraw from Bakhmut squarely on the defence ministry, using expletives. "Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where is the... ammunition?... They came here as volunteers and die for you to fatten yourselves in your mahogany offices." Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov have often been the focus for Prigozhin's anger, amid reports of fierce infighting among different power groups in Russian President Vladimir Putin's entourage. In the statement, Prigozhin said his Wagner's casualties were "growing in geometrical progression every day" because of the lack of ammunition. But he stressed that his fighters would stay on their positions until 9 May, when Russia marks Victory Day in World War Two, and would only withdraw from Bakhmut the following day. In the video released earlier, Prigozhin - seen standing in front of his men - said he would "transfer positions in the settlement of Bakhmut to units of the defence ministry and withdraw the remains of Wagner to logistics camps to lick our wounds". "My lads will not suffer useless and unjustified losses in Bakhmut without ammunition," he added. One of the videos released by Prigozhin on Friday appears to have been filmed about 2km (1.2 miles) from the centre of Bakhmut. The BBC has matched ground features, including bushes and pylons, with satellite imagery of the location. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65493008
  9. The country participated in the Global Counterterrorism Forum in Cairo on May 4. Rabat - Morocco and the European Union are collaborating to launch an initiative to combat violent extremism and terrorism through prevention and education. The initiative was launched on Thursday, on the sidelines of the Global Counterterrorism Forum in Cairo, in which Morocco participated. The program also comes in cooperation with Hedayah, an organization dedicated to countering extremist thoughts and violent terrorism. Speaking to the forum via a video message, Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said education was a “strong tool” to prevent and fight extremism, including the violence it leads to. Education can also help individuals to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to display skepticism and avoid being affected by extremist speech and ideologies, he added, specifying that it can help counter such ideologies especially in unstable areas. Bourita also mentioned that the initiative is an example of the “excellent partnership and mutual commitment” between Morocco and the EU to strengthen peace and development. The program, which will last for two years until 2025, focuses on designing training programs for educators to equip them with the skills necessary to counter extremist and violent speech. High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said the program would help develop more tolerant societies that are more adept at dealing with extremist and terrorist threats. The 21st Coordinating Committee of the forum highlighted Morocco’s efforts in the field between 2015 and 2022. Read also: US Official: Morocco is a Critical US Partner in Countering Terrorism Morocco’s involvement with the forum and its application of its agreed-upon measures reflects the country’s “spirit of cooperation” and its active involvement in global multilateral cooperation, said Director of Global Issues at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ismail Chekkori. Morocco throughout its presidency actively led the forum’s efforts as a “crucial platform for international cooperation in the field of counter-terrorism,” he added, stressing that the country will continue to contribute to the forum’ mission. The Global Counterterrorism Forum includes 30 members; it was launched in 2011 with Turkey and the US as co-chairs. The forum consists of five working groups specializing in different areas of counterterrorism and different geographical regions. The forum members regularly cooperate with international and regional organizations, including the UN. link: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2023/05/355319/morocco-launches-anti-extremism-program-with-the-eu

  14. Voting for councillors and mayors is continuing across many parts of England, in the biggest round of local elections since 2019. A total of 230 councils are holding elections, with voters choosing the councillors they want to run services in their local area. Mayors are being elected in Bedford, Leicester, Mansfield and Middlesbrough. Voting is taking place between 07:00 and 22:00 BST, with the results due on Friday. For the first time in England, voters need to show photo ID in polling stations - passports, driving licences and some other forms of ID can be used. Some voters have taken photos of their dogs outside polling stations, in what has become an election-day tradition in recent years. Follow live: Voters head to the polls in England's local elections The first results are expected just after midnight on Friday morning, with 65 councils counting votes overnight. The rest will begin counting later on Friday morning, and results will continue to come in throughout the day, including for the four mayoral races. The final result is expected to be announced around 20:00 BST on Friday, although this could be later depending on factors such as recounts. Elections are not taking place in London, Scotland or Wales. Is there an election in my area?

Most of the councils up for election in England are district councils, responsible for services including bin collections, parks, public housing and planning applications. Other services in these areas such as roads, schools, social and care services are managed by county councils which are elected at a different time. The rest of the councils being elected on Thursday are a mixture of metropolitan and unitary ones - single local authorities that deal with all local services. The elections mark the first time in England that voters are required to show ID to cast their ballot in person. Passports, driving licences, and older or disabled people's bus passes are among the documents that will be accepted at polling stations. Those without the right ID were encouraged to apply for a new free voter certificate, the deadline for which closed last week. The BBC, like other broadcasters, is not allowed to report details of campaigning or election issues while polls are open. On polling day, the BBC does not report on any of the election campaigns from 00:30 BST until polls close at 22:00 BST on TV, radio or bbc.co.uk. The BBC, however, is still able to report on other political events and stories which are not directly related to the elections. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65475411
  15. Researchers have found that undernourished bold jumping spiders begin to lose light-sensitive photoreceptors. Spiders have a keen sense of sight, but once they begin to starve they also start to go blind. Biologists made the startling discovery while studying the eyes of bold jumping spiders (Phidippus audax) in the lab. They found that when they decreased the diets of these tiny hunters, the spiders' vision decreased too, according to a study published in the May issue of the journal Vision Research(opens in new tab). "We started looking at their eyes and noticed dark spots that suggested degeneration," study co-author Elke Buschbeck(opens in new tab), a professor in the department of biological sciences at the University of Cincinnati, told Live Science. "We were really surprised and not expecting that." Jumping spiders have high-resolution color vision, which they see with their principal, forward-facing eyes. (They also have side eyes for black-and-white vision.) Buschbeck thinks that studying these spiders could provide insight into the role nutrition plays in human eye diseases such as macular degeneration. The spiders’ degenerating eyesight was initially spotted by one of Buschbeck’s undergraduate students, Miranda Brafford(opens in new tab), who was examining the eyes of several of the wild-caught spiders using the lab's custom-built ophthalmoscope — a device designed to take fluorescent images of the retinas of animals with teensy eyes, such as spiders and insects. Brafford, who is a co-author of the study, noticed that some of the spiders had developed spots on their photoreceptors, which are cells that convert light into signals that are sent from the eyes to the brain. The spots suggested that the spiders' eyesight had degenerated. They then used electron microscopy to examine thin cross sections of the photoreceptors to confirm that the cells were indeed dying, according to an April 20 statement(opens in new tab). Related: Female spiders play dead during sex so males don't have to worry about being eaten To test their theory that poor nutrition was the culprit, the team divided the spiders into two groups: One was fed a normal diet of crickets and bee pollen while the other received half portions. "The condition of the eyes of the spiders with less nutrition was much worse," Buschbeck said. "We could tell just by looking at them with the ophthalmoscope that some of their photoreceptors had died." The researchers think that this shift in vision could be because photoreceptors require a lot of energy in the form of nutrients to function optimally, and if they don't receive a sufficient energy supply "the system fails," according to the statement. While humans aren't spiders, "the photoreceptor mechanism is very similar" between the two species. So something similar could be at play in people with macular degeneration, though more research would be needed to show that, Buschbeck said. "In both cases, it has something to do with energy metabolism and those photoreceptor cells, which are extremely energetically costly," Buschbeck said. "It's not easy for an organism to keep up with their energy needs [when nutritionally deprived]." link: https://www.livescience.com/animals/spiders/bold-jumping-spiders-can-literally-go-blind-with-hunger
  16. Reservations for the $51,995, 320-hp hot hatch will open May 11, and it will reach dealerships starting in June. Acura has announced pricing for the new Type S version of the Integra. It starts at $51,995, compared with the closely related Honda Civic Type R's $44,890 starting price. Reservations will open May 11, which will allow buyers to reserve one of the first 200 units. Predictably but perhaps disappointingly, the new 2024 Acura Integra Type S will carry a considerable price premium over its sibling, the Honda Civic Type R. The Acura hot hatch will start at $51,995, or $7105 more than the mechanically similar Civic. Both cars have a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine, a six-speed manual transmission, and a limited-slip differential, but there are some differences between the two other than the exterior and interior styling. Most notably, the Integra does offer plenty of extra standard equipment that partially explains the price differential. It comes with heated front seats, a head-up display, a 16-speaker ELS audio system, and a power driver's seat—all features that aren't offered on the Civic Type R. The Integra Type S also offers a bit more horsepower, with its turbo four producing 320 horsepower to the Civic's 315 horsepower. We don't anticipate the Integra Type S will offer any standalone options other than premium colors. Most exterior paint options cost $600 extra on the standard Integra and on the TLX and MDX Type S models, so the Integra Type S should follow a similar formula. Acura says the Type S will come in white, blue, red, and the same gold Tiger Eye Pearl hue offered on the TLX and MDX, but the configurator tool should be available soon. Acura will offer the chance to reserve one of the first 200 Integra Type S models set to arrive in the U.S. These reservations will open at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on May 11 at Acura.com/Integra, and the cars will start arriving at dealerships sometime in June. link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43785720/2024-acura-integra-type-s-price/
  17. For many years Real Madrid were renowned for being 'Los Galacticos' - a squad packed full of expensively assembled superstars, bringing unmatched glitz and glamour to their trophy-hungry fans. The policy was instigated in 2000 by newly appointed president Florentino Perez, who started his spree by launching an audacious move to sign Luis Figo, the best player and icon of eternal rivals Barcelona. He was quickly followed by Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, David Beckham and Robinho as Perez continued to flex his muscles by splashing the cash. Another wave of high-end purchases followed after Perez returned to the presidency in 2009: Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez were among those recruited for massive fees, with Real determined to position themselves as the ultimate dream destination for any superstar with serious ambitions. But then something changed. After years of spending every summer chasing the biggest possible names, Real abruptly halted the Galacticos policy and started to focus their recruitment strategy on the world's most promising youngsters. Instead of signing football's biggest established stars, the club became intent upon snapping up the game's next stars. This shift in strategy - envisioned by Perez and long-serving right-hand man Jose Angel Sanchez, and executed by chief scout Juni Calafat - was necessitated by a recognition of new economic realities. After so many years of being untouchable in the transfer market, Real could no longer routinely compete with the limitless wealth of the 'petrodollar' clubs. So they looked for an alternative route to success. There would be the occasional exception - such as the ill-fated £100m move for Eden Hazard in 2019 and the ongoing pursuit of Kylian Mbappe - but Real largely stayed away from those major deals, instead scouring South America for teenagers who had the potential to make it big. The first significant signing under this new policy came in 2017 when Real club splashed out 46m euros (£39m) on a 16-year-old Brazilian winger who would formally join when allowed to do so on his 18th birthday. His name was Vinicius Jr, now one of the most devastating attackers in the world. Vinicius scored the winning goal in last season's Champions League final, with the assist coming from another player who had been scouted in South America as a teenager: Uruguayan midfielder Fede Valverde. Yet another hero of the knockout stages, which included a dramatic late double against Manchester City, also travelled the same route: Brazilian winger Rodrygo, who joined Real from Santos at the age of 18. link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65477289

  19. A dramatic statement from the Russian presidential administration claimed that Ukraine had used two drones to attack the Kremlin - at the heart of Moscow - overnight. Russian forces apparently used radar equipment to disable the drones. There were no casualties, and the president was unhurt, it said. But the Kremlin did call it "an assassination attempt" against Vladimir Putin. A number of videos then surfaced. They appear to show at least one drone flying towards the Kremlin, followed by an explosion. Another appears to show smoke rising from a Kremlin structure, and a fire. The BBC has been unable to verify that it was a drone and it is unclear what really happened. But if what the Kremlin is saying is true, and this was a genuine attempt on the president's life, then it would be a highly embarrassing incident for the Kremlin. By all accounts, Mr Putin appears to be one of the most closely-guarded leaders in the world. At his events in Moscow attended by BBC journalists, extremely tight security has been in place, including extensive checks and long convoys of vehicles, with airspace closed and traffic halted. Questions will now be asked about how well-protected the Russian leader is - and about the effectiveness of Russian air defences. In recent months, anti-aircraft systems have been spotted on Moscow rooftops in the vicinity of key buildings, including the defence ministry. They have been placed there precisely for this reason - because the Kremlin is concerned that Ukraine, or those sympathetic to Ukraine, may attempt to carry out aerial attacks on high-value targets. If that's what this incident was, then those measures failed. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65476085
  20. The call-up means the youngster will not be playing for FC Barcelona for the rest of the season. Rabat - FC Barcelona’s new wonderkid Lamine Yamal, who is of Moroccan origins, will be playing for Spain in the upcoming U17 European Championship, has indicated the latest squad announcement on the Royal Spanish Football Federation’s (RFEF) website. The call-up means that Yamal will not be playing any more games with Barca this season, after becoming the youngest player in the club’s history to make a La Liga debut. The competition starts in Hungary on May 18, with Spain’s first match being against Italy, but the team will start their preparations for the tournament from May 8. Despite playing for Spain’s youth teams, Yamal is not locked into playing for the European nation, as he can still switch to representing another nation as per FIFA guidelines. Morocco’s football federation had been “closely following” the youngster’s development as he was playing in Barca’s U19 team, the Spanish outlet Sport reported last year. According to Sport, Moroccan scout Rabie Takassa confirmed that the youngster was on his radar. "His father is Moroccan, his mother is from Equatorial Guinea and he was born in Spain, so he can choose between three teams. In the end, he will play where he feels best, where his heart tells him,” Takassa said, making it clear that Yamal was a Spanish youth player and that he would not be forced to represent any country.
