    Kenyan Parliament Vets Ida Betty Odinga for UNEP Permanent Representative Role

    NAIROBI, KENYA (NPA): The Kenyan Parliament on Friday conducted a vetting session for Ida Betty Odinga, widow of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, following her nomination by President William Ruto as Kenya’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

    The National Assembly Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations assessed her competencies, qualifications, and experience, as well as her ability to advance Kenya’s interests in global environmental diplomacy. The 75-year-old pledged to champion equitable climate financing, strengthen international cooperation, and amplify African voices in shaping global environmental policy. She also outlined plans to diversify funding streams by engaging the private sector and philanthropic partners to sustain UNEP programmes amid declining donor support.

    Raila Odinga, one of Kenya’s most influential political figures, served as Prime Minister from 2008 to 2013 and contested the presidency multiple times between 1997 and 2022. He was widely recognized for his role in advancing constitutional reforms, multiparty democracy, and infrastructure development across Africa, including his tenure as the African Union’s High Representative for Infrastructure Development.

    Odinga passed away on October 15, 2025, at the age of 80 in Kerala, India, after suffering a heart attack, according to agency reports.

  • Real Madrid Beat Benfica 1–0 to Keep Round of 16 Hopes Alive

    Real Madrid Beat Benfica 1–0 to Keep Round of 16 Hopes Alive

    Spanish giants Real Madrid secured a crucial 1–0 victory over Benfica on Tuesday night in Lisbon, taking a valuable first-leg advantage in their UEFA Champions League knockout play-off. The high-intensity clash at Estadio da Luz drew over 66,000 fans, who witnessed Vinícius Júnior break the deadlock in the 50th minute with a superb strike from outside the box.

    Real Madrid controlled possession with 56% and looked more composed in midfield, while Benfica struggled to convert their attacking opportunities into clear chances.

    The match, however, was overshadowed by controversy. Vinícius Júnior alleged that he was subjected to racist abuse from Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni, prompting a 10-minute stoppage as the referee implemented UEFA’s anti-racism protocols. The incident cast a shadow over what was otherwise a fiercely contested encounter. Benfica’s manager, José Mourinho, was shown a red card after an outburst defending his player, leaving questions over whether UEFA will uphold or overturn the sanction.

    Real Madrid’s defence displayed discipline and resilience, repelling Benfica’s late pressure and ensuring the narrow lead was preserved. The Portuguese side had previously denied Los Blancos automatic qualification in the group stage, forcing them into this play-off. With the result, Real Madrid head into the second leg at Santiago Bernabéu on February 24–25, 2026, with momentum and a strong chance of progressing to the round of 16 in Europe’s elite competition.

    Real Madrid Face Benfica in Champions League Knockout Play-Off First Leg

    Spanish giants, Real Madrid, have assembled their strongest squad for tonight’s crucial UEFA Champions League knockout phase play-off first leg against Benfica at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 CET (20:00 WAT).

    Benfica enter the tie with mixed form, recording three wins and five losses in recent fixtures, while Real Madrid boasts a stronger run of five wins and three losses. Statistical forecasts favour Madrid with a 49.8% chance of victory, compared to Benfica’s 25.8%, leaving room for a potential draw.

    Real Madrid’s squad list, released on Monday, confirms Thibaut Courtois as the starting goalkeeper, supported by Andriy Lunin and Fran González. In defence, Dani Carvajal leads alongside David Alaba, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alejandro Carreras, Fran García, Antonio Rüdiger, Ferland Mendy, Yorel Huijsen, and Joan Martínez.

    The midfield features a dynamic mix of Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler, Dani Ceballos, and Thiago Cestero, tasked with supplying the forward line. Up front, Real Madrid will rely on their prolific scorer Kylian Mbappé, supported by Vinícius Júnior, Gonzalo García, Brahim Díaz, and Claudio Echeverri Mastantuono.

    This highly anticipated clash pits 15-time European champions Real Madrid against two-time winners Benfica, making it one of the standout fixtures of the round.

    Champions League: Real Madrid Woes Continue, Loses 3:1 To AC Millan

    The victory marks the second time AC Millan won at Santiago Bernabeu after that in the group stage of the 2009-10 Champions League campaign.

    Current Champions League holder and Spanish football giants Real Madrid suffered another embarrassing defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu in the hands of AC Millan on Tuesday night, increasing its woes that began after the 4:0 defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico.

    The visitors opened the scores in the eleventh minute following a corner conceded by Éder Militão in a brilliant header by Malick Thiaw in a very close-range goal post scrambling.

    The home team equalized through an electrifying penalty by Vinícius Júnior that set fans at the Santiago Bernabeu on fire, which was quenched after another AC Millan goal by

     Tijjani Reijnders who shot from his left foot from the centre of the box.

    Real’s new arrival, Kylian Mbappé failed to live up to his rating in the match, shooting without precision in apparent frustration of the night after the VAR cancelled a goal by Antonio Rüdiger.

    The victory marks the second time AC Millian won at Santiago Bernabeu after that in the group stage of the 2009-10 Champions League campaign.

    A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
