Women’s World Cup: Netherlands break Japanese hearts; advance to quarter-finals Last-gasp penalty sees the Netherlands through to quarters The Netherlands reached the women’s World Cup quarter-finals for the first time when Lieke Martens’ last-gasp penalty earned it a 2-1 victory against Japan on Tuesday.

Is this Spain's scariest walkway? https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p06c52mg/is-this-spain-s-scariest-walkway- The King's Path is a unique walkway in Spain but not one to attempt if you are scared of heights. It is 3km (1.9 miles) long, 100 metres (328 feet) high and just one metre wide. The King's Path (El Caminito del Rey) in Malaga was closed in 2001 for safety reasons but re-opened in 2015 after a massive restoration project.

The Indian Air Force mission to bomb a terrorist hideout in Pakistan's Balakot was codenamed 'Operation Bandar', defence sources have revealed to India Today TV. The February 26 cross-border airstrike was a rare instance when the Indian Air Force crossed the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir and bombed targets in Pakistani territory. India had termed the airstrike an "intelligence-led, non-military, pre-emptive" operation that targetted a camp run by the Jaish-e-Mohammed in Balakot, a town located in the Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. While India did not officially say so, the Balakot airstrike was seen as a response to the February 14 Pulwama suicide attack, in which 40 jawans of the Central Reserve Police Force were killed. Jaish-e-Mohammed had claimed responsibility for the Pulwama suicide bombing. Two weeks later, Indian Air Force's Mirage-2000 fighter jets took off from airbases in India before dawn on February 26.

Trump confirms US military was 'cocked and loaded' for retaliatory strike against Iran President Trump on Friday confirmed that the U.S. military was "cocked and loaded" to retaliate against Iran after the country shot down a U.S. surveillance drone, but backed off at the last minute. In a series of tweets, Trump said he opted not to follow through because he felt the response would not be "proportionate" to the Iranian action.  "We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it, not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone," Trump tweeted. "I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!"
