International Women's Day 2024: Paralympians have their say
What do women want on International Women's Day?
Chui Yee Yu (Hong Kong, China, wheelchair fencing): Today is International Women’s Day and I think today is very important because it is a special day for us to celebrate and recognise the contributions of women, especially in Para sport.
Kgothatso Montjane (South Africa, wheelchair tennis): What I think women want is the visibility because we are as capable as men. We just want to be showed off, we just want to be talked about for who we are because I feel like we have as much ability as men. We just want that visibility to be able to be recognised.
Alejandra Aybar (Dominican Republic, Para swimming): On International Women’s Day, I think women need more equality in everything: sports, work and life.
Stefanie Reid (Great Britain, Para athletics): What I think women want for this day is action. I’m not interested in a social media post or a press release. What I want to know from a company is how many women are in management. What are you paying them? What is your policy when it comes to maternity or flexible leave? What I want is real change and real equality, and real in the sense that I can see it on a plain sheet of paper and numbers.

Real Madrid sufre ante Leipzig pero se clasifica a cuartos de la Champions Eligió Ancelotti modificar su sistema en uno de esos días que marcan temporadas y la interpretación de sus jugadores no pudo ser peor. Con la intención de reducir las virtudes del rival, redujo al máximo las suyas. Un Real Madrid anulado en el primer acto. Instalado en la peor de sus versiones desde un dibujo incomprensible. Sólo la falta de acierto en los últimos metros del Leipzig evitó una catástrofe inesperada. Las nueve paradas de Lunin de Alemania generaron un temor que se impuso a la historia del Real Madrid en la Copa de Europa. Cambió su identidad por protección. Aumentó el músculo en el centro del campo 'Carletto' y desde el vigor físico encontró la inconsistencia. Un centro del campo superpoblado y una delantera desguarnecida. Con Bellingham perdido en zona de nadie y Vinícius resignado en banda esperando el balón para jugársela ante el mundo. Con la intención de tener el control, de anestesia...

What we know about the Baltimore bridge collapse A massive cargo ship plowed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday, causing the 1.6-mile structure to crumble like a pile of toothpicks – plunging cars and people into the frigid water below. Six people are presumed dead, a Coast Guard official said at a news conference Tuesday evening. Here’s what we know about the catastrophe: Why did the bridge collapse? Shortly before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, a Singaporean-flagged container vessel called DALI struck one of the 47-year-old bridge’s pillars, officials said. The local pilot of the ship did “everything that he could have done” to slow the ship and keep it from drifting toward the bridge, Clay Diamond, executive director and general counsel of the American Pilots Association, told CNN. “Just minutes before the bridge, there was a total blackout on the ship, meaning that the ship lost engine power and electrical power, it was a complete blackout,” Diamon...
