BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
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.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni's contract has been extended until 2026, according to the country's FA, after he guided the squad to a World Cup victory in Qatar last year.

Scaloni extended his contract with Argentine Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia on Monday in Paris, putting him through to the next World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

"Claudio Tapia and Lionel Scaloni met to close the extension of the contract as coach of the Senior Selection until 2026," the AFA said in a statement.

Scaloni was voted Best Coach of 2022 later that day, while in Paris at FIFA's 'The Best' Awards event.

"I am eternally grateful to the president of the AFA for giving me the opportunity to coach this wonderful national team," Scaloni said on receiving the award.

"I'm thankful for the players, those 26 who led us to glory. Without them, we could not have achieved anything."

Scaloni, who formerly played for Argentina's Newell's Old Boys, Lazio, and Mallorca, started his journey with the national team as part of the coaching staff led by Jorge Sampaoli, who was fired after 2018 World Cup in Russia after the Argentine team lost in the knock out stage.
