Pro-Palestinian activists storm basketball court during Israeli team’s game against France
A group of agitators waving Palestinian flags stormed the court during a basketball game between Israel’s Hapoel Holon and France’s Nanterre 92, sparking chaos in the stands.
The bedlam came during the third quarter of the game in Nanterre, France, which was part of the FIBA Basketball Champions League.
Around 10 individuals ran onto the court waving Palestinian flags, angering hundreds of attendees from the French Jewish community cheering for the Israeli team.
Some of the anti-Israel agitators jumped into the stands and were quickly apprehended by security. A group on the pro-Israel side began breaking out into nationalist chants.

The match resumed a few minutes later after police detained the disruptors. Security was ramped up for the remainder of the game, including officers equipped with shields, to separate members of the Jewish community from other fans.
The game was briefly halted before resuming with extra security. (Enzo Rabouy via Storyful)
The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs had issued a warning regarding the game earlier in the day, including initial indications of a planned protest by groups expected to gather near the arena. These included the pro-Palestinian organization Europalestine and the far-left party La France Insoumise.

Nanterre Mayor Raphaël Adam earlier this week barred fans from attending the game to «prevent public disturbances,» but a court overturned that decision Wednesday morning.

Hapoel Holon lost the game to Nanterre, 87-77. But the Israeli team still advanced to the Top 16 stage thanks to the loss of Bosnian team Igokea to German team Würzburg. Yotam Hanochi led Guy Goodes’ scorers with 18 points, while Paul Lacombe excelled on the opposing side with 23 points.

Detained captain of cargo ship that collided with US oil tanker is Russian national, ship owner says
A Russian national was revealed to be the captain of the cargo ship that collided with a U.S. tanker off the coast of England in an incident that sparked a massive fire, spilled jet fuel into the sea and left one person feared dead.
The 59-year-old man remained in United Kingdom police custody Wednesday after being detained on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence, according to Ernst Russ, the owner of the Portugal-flagged Solong cargo ship. It added that the ship’s 14 crew members were a mix of Russian and Filipino nationals. One of them remains missing and is presumed dead.
The Solong collided Monday with MV Stena Immaculate, a U.S.-flagged tanker transporting jet fuel for the American military. U.S.-based Crowley Ship Management said the MV Stena Immaculate was anchored near Hull when it was struck and that all 23 onboard are «safe and accounted for» with no reported injuries.
Leading up to the collision, the Solong was inspected in Dublin, Ireland last July and was found to have 10 deficiencies, according to the Associated Press.

Port inspection documents show the Solong failed steering-related safety checks with the vessel’s «emergency steering position communications/compass reading» unreadable. It also had «inadequate» alarms, survival craft «not properly maintained» and fire doors «not as required.»
Then a second inspection in Scotland in October found two more deficiencies, but the ship wasn’t detained after either inspection, the AP reported.
However, U.K. authorities said they don’t suspect foul play in the crash.

The 596-foot Stena Immaculate was operating as part of the U.S. government’s Tanker Security Program, a group of commercial vessels that can be contracted to carry fuel for the military when needed.
«Crowley continues to work closely with U.K. agencies to support the incident response, salvage and environmental impact mitigation operations resulting from container ship Solong striking the Crowley-managed tanker Stena Immaculate while at anchor on Monday, March 10,» the ship’s owner said Tuesday.

«It remains uncertain at this time what volume of fuel may have been released as a result of the incident, but initial review shows impacts have been limited due to exposure to the fire and evaporation of the Jet A1 fuel,» Crowley continued. «In addition, U.K agencies are closely monitoring air quality and any possible public health impacts resulting onshore. Both are currently measuring low or within normal levels.»

The Solong was drifting and still on fire Wednesday, but is likely to remain afloat rather than sinking, officials said.

Guerra comercial: entran en vigor los aranceles de Trump al acero y aluminio, y Europa responde con impuestos por US$ 28.300 millones
La Unión Europea impondrá contramedidas a productos estadounidenses por valor de 28.300 millones de dólares en respuesta a los aranceles del presidente Donald Trump sobre el acero y el aluminio que entraron en vigor a medianoche.
Los aranceles impuestos por Estados Unidos y el anuncio de contramedidas por parte de la Unión Europea marcan el inicio de una guerra comercial entre los dos socios transatlánticos, en un momento de creciente incertidumbre en los mercados por los cambios de rumbo del gobierno de Trump.
La presidenta de la Comisión Europea, Ursula von der Leyen, calificó las medidas, que se aplicarán a productos estadounidenses desde barcos hasta bourbon, de «fuertes pero proporcionadas».
Los aranceles de Trump, que entraron en vigor la noche del martes, implican que las empresas estadounidenses que deseen importar acero y aluminio al país deberán pagar un impuesto del 25 % sobre ellos.
Canadá y China también están alcanzados por las medidas de Trump.
China afirmó que tomará «todas las medidas necesarias» para salvaguardar sus derechos e intereses, mientras que el alto comisionado de Canadá en el Reino Unido criticó el «mundo comercial sin ley de Donald Trump».
