Four-time world champions Italy have failed to qualify for the football World Cup for the first time in 60 years after drawing 0-0 against Sweden in Milan.

Italy, a football-crazy country, has taken part in every World Cup since failing to qualify for the sport's most prestigious event in 1958. The last major competitions it missed were the 1984 and 1992 European Championships.

Colin Kaepernick, an American football player who last year started protesting police brutality against African Americans by kneeling during the US national anthem, has been named "Citizen of the Year" by GQ magazine. The public stand of the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who is currently without a team, has sparked a wave of similar protests across the National Football League and other athletic events. Announcing its decision on Monday, GQ likened Kaepernick to American sports icons, including boxer Muhammad Ali, who opposed the Vietnam War. "He's been vilified by millions and locked out of the NFL - all because he took a knee to protest police brutality," the magazine said of Kaepernick's protest. "It cost him his job. It also transformed Colin Kaepernick into a lightning rod and a powerful symbol of activism and resistance. "Kaepernick's determined stand puts him in rare company in sports history: Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson - a...

Thousands of tonnes of aid meant for Yemen is stranded in Djibouti. Aid groups are working around the clock to send much-needed supplies to Yemen, frantically loading larger ships to try to tackle the shortages once Saudi Arabia comes through on its promise to reopen some of the country's ports and airports. Saudi placed the current blockade on Yemen a week ago, after Houthi rebels fired a missile at Riyadh. The severe shortages of food, medicines, and vital vaccines mean that Yemen is facing a large-scale humanitarian disaster in which the UN warns millions of people could die. The UN is calling for a complete lifting of the embargo measures in order to avert what they are warning will be the world's worst famine in decades.

Some psychologists think values are impossible to teach, and it is certainly true that telling kids to be more honest, or diligent, or considerate, doesn’t work any better than telling adults to be. But if values are impossible to teach, they are too important to leave to chance. In recent years, some schools have tried to add moral development to their curriculum. But schools have a tough time teaching kids values because they intervene too late, not to mention in too much isolation from the rest of the child’s life. Worse yet, they are often at odds with what the child is learning at home about values. Because the truth, of course, is that we do teach values to kids, daily, every minute of their lives. The question isn’t whether to teach values, only WHAT we are teaching. "But how do kids learn values, then?" The way children learn values, simply put, is by observing what you do, and drawing conclusions about what you think is important in life. Regardless of what you consc...
