Red Star Belgrade have been ordered to play a home game in European competition behind closed doors and fined 30,000 euros ($36,000) for racist behaviour and COVID-19 protocol breaches during their Europa League clash with AC Milan, UEFA said on Wednesday. An unidentified individual seated in Red Star's VIP box shouted ethnically offensive slurs to Milan and Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has Bosnian roots, during the first leg of the round-of-32 clash in February. "Red Star is to play the next two home matches behind closed doors, the second being suspended for a probationary period of one year starting from the date of this decision, for the racist behaviour of its supporters," UEFA said.

"We were attacked. We went to war with clear goals. We achieved those objectives." Biden said.In his White House speech, Biden set a goal of withdrawing all 2,500 U.S. troops remaining in Afghanistan by Sept. 11. By pulling out without a clear victory, the United States opens itself to criticism that a withdrawal represents a de facto admission of failure for American military strategy.Biden said critics who say the U.S. will only meet its diplomatic goals in Afghanistan with a robust troop presence haven't learned the lesson of history."We gave that argument a decade," he said. "It's never proved effective. Not when we had ninety-eight thousand troops in Afghanistan, and not when we're down to a few thousand."

Shauna Coxsey admits her first serious attempt at speed climbing left her thinking that the Olympics were not for her after all. As a child she fell in love with lead climbing and for the past decade the 28-year-old Briton has been one of the world's best boulderers. To win gold medal a climber must excel in three very different disciplines -- lead, bouldering and speed -- and while the first two are as natural to Coxsey as walking, the last took her out of her comfort zone.
Cryptocurrencies took a giant leap into the mainstream Wednesday with the blockbuster stock market debut of Coinbase, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange.Shares surged about 60 percent on the Nasdaq, immediately giving it a market valuation close to $100 billion, eclipsing that of the parent company of the venerable New York Stock Exchange, and rivaling that of Wall Street titan Goldman Sachs.This stock market debut, seen as a watershed moment for cryptos, comes as bitcoin, the most visible of the group touched another record high Wednesday - near $65,000.Coinbase -a9-year old company- is a big beneficiary of the interest in bitcoin, ethererum, doge coin and all the other cryptocurrencies out there.The exchange has 56 million users worldwide, capturing 11 percent of the crypto market, according to regulatory filings.Bitcoin trading, however, is its bread and butter.No longer relegated to the dark web, bitcoin's value has more than doubled this year alone as household names like Tesla said they will accept bitcoin as payment.And as bitcoin's value has skyrocketed, so has Coinbase's fortune.In just the first three months of this year alone, Coinbase predicts it took in more than $1.8 billion in revenues....that's more business than it did all of last year.And unlike many companies making stock market debuts - this one is profitable. Coinbase said it had an estimated quarterly profit between $730 million and $800 million.But that close correlation to bitcoin is also a risk.In bitcoin’s brief history - it has had huge swings to the downside.And that’s not the only potential headache facing Coinbase:Any potential regulatory crackdown of the new asset is a risk…And so is the prospect of competition from old-guard Wall Street firms who may make a move on Coinbase’s turf.But judging from the stock’s opening day surge, those are risks Coinbase's new investors are willing to take – as they hope the milestone creates the kind of publicity that sends crypto-trading into a new orbit.

In a White House speech, Biden set a goal of withdrawing all 2,500 U.S. troops remaining in Afghanistan no later than Sept. 11, with the final withdrawal beginning on May 1. "It is time for American troops to come home," he said.Sept. 11 will mark 20 years to the day of al Qaeda's attacks on the United States that prompted then-President George W. Bush to launch the conflict. The war has cost the lives of 2,400 American service members and consumed an estimated $2 trillion. U.S. troop numbers in Afghanistan peaked at more than 100,000 in 2011.Afghan President Ashraf Ghani wrote on Twitter that he has spoken with Biden and he respects the U.S. decision. Ghani added that "we will work with our U.S. partners to ensure a smooth transition" and "we will continue to work with our US/NATO partners in the ongoing peace efforts."The Democratic president had faced a May 1 withdrawal deadline, set by his Republican predecessor Donald Trump, who tried but failed to pull the troops out before he left office. Biden's decision will keep troops in Afghanistan past that deadline, but officials suggested troops could fully depart before Sept. 11.
