TOKYO, Jan 22 — Japan has halted the restart of the world’s largest nuclear power plant just hours after it began, though the reactor remains “stable,” the operator said.
GONDOMAR, July 5 — Liverpool players gathered today in the quiet Portuguese town of Gondomar to bid farewell to their teammate, Diogo Jota, who tragically died alongside his younger brother in a car accident in Spain on Thursday.
Among those arriving in Portugal late Friday to pay their respects were club captain Virgil Van Dijk, goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, and manager Arne Slot, joining former and current teammates in mourning the loss of the 28-year-old striker and his brother, Andre Silva.
The funeral will take place at the Igreja Matriz church, with hundreds of locals from Gondomar — the town where Jota grew up — expected to attend alongside the grieving family.
Jota’s wife, Rute Cardoso, who had only recently married the football star, is expected to be present with the couple’s three young children.
The sudden death of Jota sent shockwaves throughout the football world and beyond, drawing heartfelt tributes from global football figures and national leaders alike.
The two brothers were reportedly en route to a ferry in Spain for a trip to the UK when their Lamborghini veered off the road and caught fire shortly after midnight on Thursday. Authorities suspect a tyre blowout as the likely cause. — Reuters
