Argentina monitoring talks between Chilean and Malvinas firms, says Quirno
Argentina claims sovereignty over the Malvinas and is seeking to prevent neighbouring countries from providing logistical support for the exploitation of natural resources on and around the islands, particularly the 'Sea Lion' oil project
We have no reason to doubt the word or the written commitments of our governments,
What we clearly want to do is prevent the exploration of non-renewable resources in the Malvinas while the underlying issue remains unresolved,
We are monitoring the situation. We have agreements in force with Chile and, obviously, we expect Chile to respect those treaties, just as we respect them,
Lionel Scaloni says there's ‘willingness on both sides’ to continue with Argentina
But after talks with Argentine Football Association (AFA) Claudio ‘Chiqui’ Tapia, the coach now looks set to stay in charge of the national team, which began in 2018
Leo is expected to arrive this weekend, after the match on the 3rd [of October]. If he wants to come and play on the 3rd, he can,
We hadn’t spoken after the World Cup. We got together to see if we can move forward and reach an agreement,
We know the new boys, we have references and we’ve been monitoring them. They show that they want to be here and are very eager. We’ll give them the chance to play so they can contribute... There is a changing of the guard now, but with a more solid base than when we started this cycle with the national team. There are people we can trust and that gives us peace of mind, although we know that doesn’t guarantee results,
I want to continue with the national team,
There is willingness on both sides, but we have only just started talking,
I had to think it through carefully, look at it and analyse the sporting side of things,
Until Leo’s final match, we won’t give the number 10 shirt to anyone. After that, we’ll see. The idea is for someone to take it, with everything that comes with it,
Our football goes through the ball, through bringing together players who play well. I don’t think that will change,
I have the team more or less confirmed. We have training today and the players still don’t know; we’ll tell them after the session,
It’s undeniable that he is an indispensable player. Fortunately, in the matches when he hasn’t been there, the team has responded. We have young players who can contribute,

Scandal-weary Brazilians to vote as Lula faces Bolsonaro son
It has to end. Today, in Brazil, organised crime is in charge,
Without wishing to idolise him, he is one of the greatest presidents this country has ever had,

Gambling has exploded in Brazil in recent years, dragging many into debt, and opinion polls show strong voter opposition to the industry, which Lula has labelled a "cancer."

He smashed into his team-mate Gasly, who then hit Norris' McLaren, wiping all three out of the race
I feel very sorry for the team and for Pierre and my apologies also go to Lando and McLaren for ruining their race,
I think the [ruling body] FIA should be more strict and start handing out bans for this kind of stuff. It's just careless from people.... It costs
It was a tough race. I was slow on the straights and it was an impossible race with the straight-line speeds.
