BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Dietrich Mateschitz, Red Bull's owner and co-founder, died after a long illness. On Saturday, his Formula 1(F1) Racing Team and Redbull's website confirmed the news. 

Mateschitz co-founded Red Bull with Chaleo Yoovidhya, who had created and sold a similar drink in Thailand called Krating Daeng. They adapted the recipe to appeal to Western audiences. According to Red Bull's website, 9.8 billion Red Bull cans were sold in 2021.

Mateschitz earned his bachelor's degree in marketing from the Vienna University of Economics and Business in 1972. He then worked for Unilever and a cosmetics company before joining Yoovidhya to co-found Red Bull in 1984. 

The first Red Bull was sold in 1987, and Krating Daeng is still being sold in Thai markets with the same logo seen on Red Bull cans in the West.

Mateschitz spearheaded the company's entry into extreme sports, particularly F1 racing. Red Bull debuted in Formula One in 1995, initially partnering with Sauber. Mateschitz bought the Jaguar Racing Team and renamed it Red Bull Racing in 2004.

The team has since won four constructor cups and could win a fifth at the US Grand Prix last Sunday. During Mateschitz's ownership, Red Bull Racing has also won six driver championships.

Mateschitz also owns four football clubs: Red Bull Salzburg, New York Red Bulls, Red Bulls Brasil, and Leipzig Football Club, as well as two ice hockey clubs: EHC München and EC Red Bull Salzburg.
