*Neymar⚡ Cries Lack of Respect After Bottle-Throwing😯*

PSG winger Neymar has condemned the actions of Marseille supporters after their Ligue 1 clash at the weekend and called on competition chiefs to punish those responsible for the disturbance.

Second half goals from Kylian Mbappe and Julian Draxler ensured that the French champions secured a comfortable victory at the Orange Velodrome , but the result was marred by crowd violence.

As Neymar stepped up to take a corner for the visitors, he was pelted by bottles and coins from a large section of the home contingent behind him , one of which he presented to the referee as glass.

The 26-year-old suffered similar treatment during his trip to the Velodrome in October last year and he has called on the authorities to act, for the sake of player safety in general.

"To increase this record of victories we are subjected to projectiles being thrown on the corners?" Neymar told reporters.

"Yes, it is a lack of respect, not only with me but also with the players of the OM. It's not correct.

"The authorities which govern in Ligue 1 must take a decision because it can not go on like that, every time we come here and throw stuff, including glass bottles."

*Suspected Mail📦 Bomber Headed to 🇺🇸Miami Court 🏛on Monday*


A former male stripper and part-time pizza deliveryman suspected of mailing at least 14 pipe bombs to some of U.S. President Donald Trump’s leading critics, including former president Barack Obama, was due in federal court in Miami, Monday.

The Brooklyn-born Cesar Sayoc, 56, is charged with five felony counts - interstate transportation and illegal mailing of explosives, threatening a former president, making threatening interstate communications and assaulting federal officers. The case is expected to be moved to New York, where he will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York, officials said.

Sayoc has been held without bond since he was taken into custody in South Florida Friday by federal agents after a four-day nationwide manhunt for the person who sent homemade pipe bombs to Trump critics including Obama and former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whom Trump defeated in the 2016 presidential race.

Sri Lankan police on Monday arrested deposed oil minister Arjuna Ranatunga over a shooting that killed one person on the weekend, a police spokesman said. 
"Colombo Crime division arrested Ranatunga over the shooting incident and he will be produced to the court shortly," police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekera told Reuters.

President Maithripala Sirisena on Saturday declared that the cabinet had been dissolved with the appointment of a new prime minister a day earlier. Since then, members of trade unions linked to the new prime minister, Mahinda Rajapaksa, have blocked ministers from the old cabinet from entering their ministries. Police said earlier that in an altercation on Sunday when Ranatunga tried to enter his office, his security guard shot and killed one person and wounded two.

*India's Bhavye Suneja Was Captain of Lion Air Plane 🛫That Crashed With 189 on Board*

A Delhi boy, Bhavye Suneja, was captain of the ill-fated Indonesian carrier Lion Air’s Boeing 737 Max that crashed into the sea while operating a domestic flight from Jakarta to Pangkal Pinang on Monday with 189 people on board. Bhavye Suneja was killed in the plane crash, the Indian Embassy said in Jakarta.

"Our deepest condolences on the tragic loss of lives in the Lion Air Plane crash, off the coast of Jakarta today. Most unfortunate that Indian Pilot Bhavye Suneja who was flying JT610 also lost his life... The embassy is in touch with the Crisis Center and coordinating for all assistance," Indian Embassy in Jakarta said.

Suneja, a resident of Mayur Vihar who passed out of the locality’s Ahlcon Public School in 2005, joined Indonesian Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) Lion Air in March 2011 where he flies the Boeing 737. The VP of a leading airline in India that operates the Boeing 737 said Suneja, 31, was considering returning to India.

“We spoke this July. He is a very sweet sounding person. Being an experienced pilot of the B737 with an incident, accident-free record, we were keen to have him with us because of his good credentials. His only request was that he wanted a Delhi posting as he is from the city,” said the senior official.

*MP Fires🔥 into Air in Troubled C. African Republic's Parliament🏛*

A lawmaker fired into the air in the Central African Republic's parliament on Monday after an altercation with a colleague as MPs prepared to vote for a new speaker.

Alfred Yekatom, who represents the southern M'baiki district and is a former militia leader, drew his weapon during the dispute, then fired the gun as he ran away.

Yekatom's motive for shooting the gun, which sent MPs rushing to the exit, was not clear.

The parliament session was suspended for an hour while security forces searched every MP.

The lawmakers went on to elect an MP from western Baboua, Laurent Ngon-Baba, a former minister, in a near-unanimous vote of 112 in favour, with four blank ballots.

The vote came three days after a censure motion removed Karim Meckassoua, who represents a predominantly Muslim neighbourhood in Bangui.

After years of confrontation between Muslim and Christian groups in the majority Christian country, Meckassoua's election in 2016 was seen as a symbol of reconciliation.

On Sunday Meckassoua said he would challenge his sacking in the courts, calling for his ouster not to be turned into a sectarian debate -- while noting that 38 of the 41 deputies who voted against him were Christian.

Speaking after the vote, Ngon-Baba said: "We can no longer afford to make mistakes. We will immediately take steps, especially concerning the management of financial resources."

War Veterans Besiege ZIM Ruling Party HQ*

War veterans besieged Zimbabwe's ruling party headquarters at the weekend, demanding the sacking of top officials recently given full-time posts there after they were retired from cabinet, reportedly.

They also allegedly tried to seize keys to the offices of some of the officials.

The war veterans accused the officials, including former home affairs minister, Obert Mpofu, former health minister David Parirenyatwa and former defence minister Sydney Sekeramayi of trying to undermine President Emmerson Mnangagwa "and engaging in corrupt activities".

Some were accused of harbouring loyalties to former president Robert Mugabe.

"Our people are suffering; there is no fuel, prices of basic goods are going up every day while these people are here seated and doing nothing. All they do is plot against the president to advance their agenda," war veteran official, Efanos Mudzimunyi said. "We want them out as quickly as possible."
