Silva has been one of Europe's breakout players this season after forcing his way into Benfica's starting team after injuries to Morato and Lucas Verissimo. Led by Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal's squad will be on paper one of the best competing in Qatar. "We have a team capable of winning it all, that is what this group is capable of," Santos told a news conference in Lisbon. "The players are hungry and will give it all to make Portugal the world champions. "Our list was based on the players' qualities and potential, on what each one of them can offer to our system."

Chuwit and Santhana had confronted publicly at least twice over the recent days. Santhana filed a police complaint claiming drug abuse at an entertainment venue inside Chuwit’s hotel. Chuwit said Santhana was coming after him because he had exposed illegal activities involving a Chinese syndicate. A former MP and the leader of a political party, Chuwit once owned a number of massage parlours in Bangkok before entering politics. He recently came out in defence of some Chinese businessmen linked to Bangkok entertainment venues catering mainly to Chinese nationals.

The expo also will display foods, drinks, fashion accessories, cosmetics, supplementary diets, spa and herbal products made from hemp. “Currently, the global market value of hemp-related products is worth almost one trillion baht,” Pornchai said. He added Thailand was now the leader in hemp trade in Asia and could emerge as a world leader in hemp products soon with new innovations. He said he expected the hemp market in Thailand would grow to be worth about 40 billion to 50 billion baht in the next few years. The TIHTA president also called on the government to come up with a clear-cut direction and supportive measures for the private sector to develop hemp innovations and businesses with sustainability.

The Government will also explore the permissibility of allowing such travellers to undergo fewer nucleic acid tests while balancing the epidemic risks. Pang Yiu-kai, Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) welcomed the Government's latest announcement. Pang said, "The new arrangements mark Hong Kong's resumption to normality and send a positive message to travellers and our trade partners around the world. It is expected that the specific arrangements can help gradually attract leisure travellers to visit Hong Kong again, especially consumers in short-haul markets. The HKTB will continue to work with the Government, the tourism industry, and related sectors to demonstrate Hong Kong's diverse tourism appeal to ramp up travelers' interests in visiting the city, to drive the revival of tourism in Hong Kong."

Thousands of people, mainly tourists, flocked to Thailand's northern Chiang Mai province on Tuesday (November 8) to release thousands of lanterns into the sky to celebrate the annual Yee Peng festival, also known as the Thai 'Festival of Lights'.

SAT was eligible for this funding because Thai athletes participated in these competitions, which covered a large variety of sports. Moreover, they said, NBTC published its resolution to withdraw funds from BTFP on April 28 and declared its first account had 3.44 billion baht and the second had 804.27 million baht. However, the academics said later resolutions by the new NBTC board were not published on the NBTC website. Also, Isra News Agency quoted an NBTC source on November 3 as saying that BTFP only had about 2 billion baht left. The NBTC executive board is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to decide on SAT’s request for funds to buy broadcasting rights.

The National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC)’s executive board will meet on Wednesday to decide its response to a written request for funding from the Sports Authority of Thailand. Football fans would undoubtedly be thrilled if the NBTC approves the request, but some experts are questioning the move. They argue that funding the broadcast of a sports event is not in line with the objectives of the NBTC’s Broadcasting and Telecommunications Research and Development Fund for Public Interest. No other country in Southeast Asia is faced with a budget problem and they have already secured broadcasting rights. The Thai government will have less than two weeks to deal with this issue.

No Va Land has lost nearly 40% since the beginning of this year, reaching its lowest level since April 2021. Founded in 2007, No Va Land is active mostly in residential property and luxury resorts. It is Vietnam's second-biggest listed property firm, with a market capitalisation of $4.7 billion, after Vingroup's real estate unit Vinhomes. Demand in Vietnam's real estate market is expected to stay strong through 2023, Moody's said in a report in late August. No Va Land is planning to meet with creditors on Monday afternoon to negotiate further loans, according to a fifth source familiar with the matter.

That was totally unnecessary because then you have to stay together, compact and win your battles. It’s everything we didn’t do.”TOO MANY CROSSES INTO THE BOX"No, I think it was stupid to do that [often look for Ronaldo in the air]. The right moment was when Christian Eriksen did so in the first half, and the moment was when he found Cristiano in the pocket at the far post. That was the right moment." Before that, the belief was there and if you get the goal, 3-2, then anything can happen."

He also explains the steps taken to make sure Bangkok traffic runs smoothly on November 18 and 19, so leaders can travel conveniently. The immigration process at the airport has also been sped up, he said. Damrongsak added that police officers have been deployed at checkpoints and security stops in the capital.

Throughout the Asia-Pacific, we have documented how girls are increasingly leading local and national climate change movements while galvanising support and rallying and inspiring other girls. Yet research contained in Plan International's 2022 Asia-Pacific Girls Report: Their Fight for the Future reveals that in many countries climate action by girls is blocked by both policies and by discrimination. The impacts of climate change in Asia-Pacific are hitting girls first and worst, particularly in poorer countries and marginalised communities. Women and girls experience the greatest impacts of climate change, worsening existing inequalities while threatening their safety. Many girls and young women are confronted with governments who regard climate change as a low priority, without any focus on girls and young women as agents of change.

That followed a group-stage campaign in which they finished second behind Belgium after suffering a solitary defeat in eight matches. While the wheels came off after they booked their spot in Qatar -- with four defeats in five games ensuring they dropped out of the top tier of the Nations League -- Wales will head to tournament targeting at least the last 16. After winnable games against the United States and Iran, they face a familiar enemy, England, in their final Group B match but there will be no trepidation. Having played Belgium, only recently deposed from the top of the FIFA rankings, three times in the last 12 months, losing once, Wales know they are no pushovers for the top sides. And there will be plenty of fire in the Welsh Dragon after such a lengthy absence from the tournament.

The man and a woman glued themselves to Goya's “La Maja Vestida” (The Clothed Maja) and “La Maja Desnuda” (The Naked Maja), two of the Spanish painter's best-known works. The protesters, from a group calling itself Futuro Vegetal, also daubed “+1.5C” on the wall in black paint between the two paintings, in reference to the limit fixed by the 2016 Paris climate agreement on rising temperatures. Futuro Vegetal tweeted: "We glued ourselves to Goya's Las Majas in the Prado. Last week the UN recognised the impossibility of keeping us below the limit of 1.5 Celsius [agreed at the 2015 Paris climate agreement]." Representatives from nearly 200 countries will gather in Egypt next week for the COP27 climate change conference, as pressure for tougher action to tackle global warming grows.

Climate activists sit in front of jets and ride bicycles on the tarmac to protest against environmental pollution from aviation at Schiphol Airport outside Amsterdam on Saturday. “We want fewer flights, more trains and a ban on unnecessary short-haul flights and private jets,” said Greenpeace Netherlands campaign leader Dewi Zloch. The environmental group says Schiphol is the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the Netherlands, emitting 12 billion kilogrammes annually. Hundreds of other demonstrators in and around the airport’s main hall carried signs saying “Restrict Aviation” and “More Trains”. Transportation Minister Mark Harbers told parliament last month that his office could not control growing private jet traffic, and the government is considering whether to include the issue in its climate policy.
