PSV Advance In Champions League Play-offs After 2-1 Win At Galatasaray

Istanbul (AP) PSV Eindhoven advanced to the Champions League's third qualifying round after beating hosts Galatasaray 2-1 to win the second round tie 7-2 on aggregate. Noni Madueke's deflected shot eight minutes before half-time on Wednesday put PSV ahead on the night and captain Marco van Ginkel extended the lead from a Mario Gotze cross just before the hour-mark. The visitors were reduced to ten men when Olivier Boscagli picked up a second yellow card for a foul on Mbaye Diagne in the 73rd minute. Substitute Diagne then volleyed in an eye-catching goal 11 minutes later, but it was a mere consolation for Galatasaray. PSV will face Danish side Midtjylland in the next round, while Galatasaray dropped into the third qualifying round of the Europa League, where they will meet St Johnstone of Scotland.

Without The Crowd''s Roar, Tokyo Olympians Search For Spirit

Tokyo (AP) The beloved American gymnast Sam Mikulak flipped off the parallel bars, stuck the landing and blew a kiss toward the camera. Those watching the men's Olympics gymnastic competition on television back home knew they'd seen magic. "Beautiful!" the broadcast announcer exclaimed. "Wow, that was fantastic!" But all around Mikulak, the stretches of wooden benches meant to seat thousands sat mostly empty. Cheers erupted from a far back corner of the stands, where Simone Biles and the rest of the women's team screamed as loud as lungs could muster to cut through the eerie quiet of the pandemic Olympic venue. In arenas across Tokyo, athletes accustomed to feeding off the deafening roar of the crowd are searching for new ways to feel Olympic enthusiasm. They're rooting for each other as loudly as they can. Some are trying to envision fans at home in their living rooms, leaning into TV screens. They're blasting playlists in backstage training rooms. The lucky few permitted to compete with headphones keep their phones in their pockets, tuned to songs with a beat to replace the thrill of applause..

Mexico: USD 300 Million In Spyware Spending Included Kickbacks

Mexico City (AP) Mexico's top anti-money laundering investigator has said that officials from previous administrations from 2012 to 2018 spent about USD 300 million in government money to purchase spyware from the Israeli spyware firm NSO Group. The bills for programs like the Pegasus spyware appear to have included excess payments that may have been channelled back to former government officials as kickbacks. Santiago Nieto, the head of Mexico's Financial Intelligence Unit, said on Wednesday that the information is being given to prosecutors in Mexico. Nieto said the amounts paid and the way they were paid suggested government corruption in an already questionable telephone tapping program that targeted journalists, activists and opposition figures, who at the time included President Andrs Manuel Lpez Obrador and his inner circle. "This implies or at least presumes the existence of acts of corruption, by selling (the spyware) at inflated prices to the government between the years 2012 and 2018," Nieto said..
