Miss Universe host Steve Harvey makes yet another gaffe, insulting Colombia and Malaysia in one night (VIDEO) Miss Universe host Steve Harvey, of internet meme fame, had another tough night at the office during the 2019 competition, managing to offend both Miss Malaysia and the entire nation of Colombia with two cringeworthy gaffes. The 62-year-old host was standing beside Miss Universe Malaysia Shweta Sekhon and discussing the evening’s costume contest, prior to announcing the winner. The timing of his banter and the upcoming segment were a little off, however, leading to yet another cringe-inducing moment for all involved.

Nothing to kill or die for: Tulsi sings ‘Imagine’ with husband’s backing in tribute to John Lennon (VIDEO) A clip showing presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard and her husband singing John Lennon’s iconic song ‘Imagine’ to the backing of a ukulele is viral on Twitter. They were paying tribute to the Beatles star assassinated in 1980. The three-minute video was filmed in the back of the Hawaii representative’s campaign travel trailer and shows Abraham Williams strumming while his wife sings along. An anti-war campaigner, Gabbard seems to stress the part about a better word having “nothing to kill or die for” and people “living life in peace.” Imagine. #johnlennon #imagine #beatles @johnlennon pic.twitter.com/yEoTy8vA6Q— Tulsi Gabbard (@Tuls...

Russian Anti-Doping Agency is effective, we’ll find a way out of the crisis – RUSADA chief Yuri Ganus

Uncategorized

Russian Anti-Doping Agency is effective, we’ll find a way out of the crisis – RUSADA chief Yuri Ganus Russian Anti-Doping Agency chief Yuri Ganus says the fact that WADA did not recommend any restrictions on his organization shows that it is effective, vowing to “find a way out of the crisis in Russian sport.” The World Anti-Doping Agency on Monday declared RUSADA non-compliant and banned Russia from major sporting events for four years, after data provided from a Moscow laboratory was deemed to have been tampered with. The sanctions mean the Russian flag will not fly at the 2020 Olympics or the FIFA World Cup in 2022, as well as world championships in other sports. However, Russian athletes who have not been implicated in doping accusations will b...

Austrian govt refuses to implement glyphosate ban ‘due to technicality’

Uncategorized

Austrian govt refuses to implement glyphosate ban ‘due to technicality’ Austria’s government said on Monday it would not implement a ban on the controversial herbicide glyphosate, despite MPs having voted for a ban to come into effect on January 1. In a letter to the speaker of parliament, Chancellor Brigitte Birlein said the European Commission had not been given the necessary notification about the measure and it therefore could not enter into force, AFP reports. “I want to stress that this is purely a formal legal decision and not about assessing the content of the proposal,” Bierlein said. Austria would have been the first EU country to enforce a ban on the herbicide after MPs approved the ban in July. Glyphosate is classified as “probably carcinogenic” by the World Healt...
