Donnarumma gives A c Milan's three point

AC Milan's kids seem to have a bright future, two of them just combined talent and forces to give the Rossoneri a crucial win against Juventus at San Siro.

The Old Lady lost the chance to clear off at the top and Milan managed to get just two points behind them, but it was a complicated victory which came thanks to a screamer from 18-year old Locatelli in the second half. 

The first half saw how a goal was disallowed for Juventus, a free kick taken by Miralem Pjanic didn't count because of an off side position by Dani Alves. The second half saw Milan take the lead with a beautiful long-range goal to the top corner, but the real hero of the day was 17-year old Gianluigi Donnarumma.

He made a tremendous save after a long distance shot came  to his left top corner and he managed to deflect it. His teammates celebrated with him as if it was a goal, it was the last play of the match. 

This performance and several others in the past, have triggered some rumors of the youngster taking Buffon's place in Juventus, but the Old Lady's sporting director Giuseppe Marotta dismissed them talking to Mediaset Premium: "Donnarumma is a rising star and I think he can improve game by game.

Fortunately for Milan, he is their player. We have an extraordinary goalkeeper in Buffon, a professional who is writing new pages in football history. We'll hold on to him.

But Milan have a winning model and it's good to see so many young Italians in the line-up."

Plane that crashed in Malta was monitoring migrant trafficking off Libya for France

VALLETTA, MALTA—A small plane heading toward Libya’s coast to monitor migrant trafficking routes for the French government crashed soon after takeoff from Malta’s airport Monday, killing all five French crew members, authorities said. The twin-prop Fairchild Metroliner banked to the right and slammed into the ground in a huge fireball soon after lifting off at 7:20 a.m., according to video of the moment captured by a dashboard videocam and posted on Facebook. Malta’s government said all five victims were French. It said the flight was part of a French Customs surveillance operation tracing routes of illicit trafficking, both of humans and drugs, leaving Libya’s lawless coasts. Libya is the main point of departure for the tens of thousands of migrants who have been paying smugglers to bring them toward Europe by boat. Earlier, authorities had said the flight was headed to Misrata, Libya; the government said later that the aircraft was due to return to Malta within a few hours withou...

First woman president in Namibia

Namibia has its first woman president. Namibians say it won’t mean much for women Namibia’s presidential and National Assembly elections this year have been historic on many fronts. They were the country’s most controversial elections, with accusations of foreign interference and election rigging at the forefront; while the country’s first female president was elected. The South West Africa People’s Organisation’s (Swapo’s) Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah was announced as the president-elect on Tuesday night, with 57.69% of the vote. The announcement was made at the Electoral Commission of Namibia’s (ECN’s) headquarters in Windhoek, but many parties were absent — contributing to a sombre mood. Multiple parties, including the incoming official opposition party, the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), and the Landless People’s Movement (LPM) boycotted the announcement, as they do not recognise the election’s results. In a statement issued moments before the announcement, the IPC reaffirmed its...

Donald Trump touts foreign contacts on Twitter, lashes media report

WASHINGTON: President-elect Donald Trump used his Twitter account on Wednesday to denounce reports of problems in his transition team, singling out the New York Times for saying world leaders have had trouble getting in touch with him. Trump, whose aggressive use of Twitter against rivals was a key element of his presidential campaign, tweeted a list of several world leaders he had spoken with since his upset victory in the  Australia, New Zealand, and more. I am always available to them. @nytimes is just upset that they looked like fools in their coverage of me," Trump continued. He focused on the Times, a frequent Twitter target for Trump, because it said U.S. allies were "scrambling to figure out how and when to contact Mr. Trump." "The failing @nytimes story is so totally wrong on transition," he tweeted. "It is going so smoothly. Also, I have spoken to many foreign leaders." On Tuesday night, Trump had defended his transition team amid reports ...
