The Chinese outrage is directed at Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who told lawmakers last week that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could force a military response from Tokyo, an unusually explicit statement that experts say is a first for a sitting Japanese prime minister.

Former Spanish soccer boss who kissed player at World Cup final, egged at book presentation
Luis Rubiales was pelted with eggs thrown by his own uncle when the former head of Spain’s football federation was presenting a memoir relating to his downfall after kissing a player at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

One splattered against a screen behind him as he charged into the small audience. “A man entered who I later saw was my uncle, who is a troubled man, and always has been,” Rubiales told reporters. “He had some eggs...
