Australian Open: Roger Federer beats Rafael Nadal to win 18th Grand Slam title

0

NewsHubRoger Federer won his 18th Grand Slam title and first for five years with a thrilling five-set victory over Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final.
The 35-year-old Swiss won 6-4 3-6 6-1 3-6 6-3 to claim his fifth Melbourne title and extend his lead at the top of the all-time men’s major winners‘ list.
Nadal, 30, remains tied in second with Pete Sampras on 14 Grand Slams following his first final since 2014.
Federer’s previous major title came at Wimbledon in 2012.
„I’ve been coming here for almost 20 years now,“ he said. „I’ve always enjoyed it and now my family does too.
„Thanks again for everything, to everybody. I hope to see you next year. If not, this was a wonderful run here and I can’t be more happy to win. “
Federer’s achievement in ending his drought is all the more remarkable given this was his first tournament since Wimbledon last July, after which he took the second half of the season off to recover from a knee injury.
He becomes the first man in history to win five or more titles at three different Grand Slam events – five Australian Opens, five US Opens and seven Wimbledons.
Nadal was also on the way back from injuries that curtailed his 2016 season, but the Spaniard could not improve his winning record against Federer – the Swiss has now won 12 of their 35 matches and three of nine major finals.
„I worked very hard to get where I am,“ said Nadal. „I fight a lot, probably Roger deserved it a little bit more than me.
„I’m just going to keep trying. I feel I am back at a very high level. “
The return of one of the great tennis rivalries to the Grand Slam final stage led to huge anticipation, and it lived up to the billing over three hours and 37 minutes.
A match of wild momentum swings ended with a purple patch from Federer that saw him win the last five games, and clinch the title thanks to confirmation from a Hawk-Eye challenge.
Federer leapt in the air in celebration and, after consoling close friend Nadal, broke down in tears as his wife Mirka and his team celebrated in the stands.
„Tennis is a tough sport,“ said Federer. „There are no draws. If there were I would have been happy to accept one and share it with Rafa.
„Everybody says they work very hard – I do the same – but I try not to shout about it. I’d like to thank my team. It’s been a different last six months. I didn’t think I’d make it but here I am. “
The injury lay-offs meant Federer was seeded 17th in Melbourne and Nadal ninth, but the Swiss will now return to the world’s top 10 and Nadal will move up to sixth.
There were moments of genius from both players – a stunning forehand angled winner from Nadal as he dominated the fourth set, a breathtaking 26-stroke rally in the fifth that ended with a crushing Federer forehand – but in the end the attacking instincts of Federer held sway.
He dropped just four points on serve in the first set, breaking serve after a brilliant drive volley in game seven, only for Nadal to race 4-0 clear in the second.
Federer recovered one of the breaks but it was not enough as Nadal served out to love to level the match, and then heaped on the pressure early in the third.
With the momentum slipping away, Federer came up with three aces on break points to nudge ahead in the first game – and it proved to be a decisive moment.
A magical half-volley forehand helped Federer get the break in the next game and he rolled through the set for the loss of just one game.
Neither had been able to produce their very best consistently and it was Federer’s turn to leak forehand errors as he fell behind in the fourth set, and Nadal appeared the stronger as they headed into a decider.
Federer needed an off-court medical time-out, just as he had before the fifth set of his semi-final against Stan Wawrinka, and he had treatment to his thigh on the changeover as he fell 3-1 behind.
Despite his physical issues, Federer continued to press on the Nadal serve, earning break points in each game until he finally converted a sixth to level at 3-3.
The Rod Laver Arena crowd roared as the Swiss swept through a service game and then broke again in a dramatic game, winning a 26-stroke rally that will rank among the best ever.
Closing out a Grand Slam final was never going to be easy after five years, and Federer had to recover from 15-40 before firing a forehand onto the line and waiting for Hawk-Eye to confirm it was a historic winner.

Trump’s Muslim Ban Is ‘Both Unconstitutional and Deeply Wrong,’ Says Writers Guild of America

0

NewsHubThe Writers Guild of America calls Donald Trump’s Muslim ban is “profoundly un-American.”
“It is both unconstitutional and deeply wrong to say that you cannot enter our country because of where you were born or what religion you were born into,” Michael Winship, president of Writers Guild of America East (WGAE), and Howard A. Rodman, president of Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW), said in a joint statement. “The Writers Guilds of America, East and West condemn Donald Trump’s profoundly un-American ‘Muslim ban,’ and applaud the Federal Court’s decision to grant a stay that will keep those being held at American airports from being forcibly returned to their countries. Human rights – including the freedoms of speech and religion – are essential to all Americans and to all who come here to build better lives.”
On Friday, Trump signed an executive order calling for a 90-day ban on the admission of any citizen of Iran or six other Muslim-majority countries even if they have valid visas. Trump’s executive order does allow for exceptions, noting that “the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security may, on a case-by-case basis, and when in the national interest, issue visas or other immigration benefits to nationals of countries for which visas and benefits are otherwise blocked.”

In a tweet sent late Friday, Trita Parsi of the National Iranian American Council said he “confirmed” that “The Salesman” director Asghar Farhadi, whose film is nominated for an Oscar, “won’t be let into the US to attend Oscar’s” due to the new order.
The Writers Guild continued, “We are especially troubled by reports that Asghar Farhadi, director of ‘The Salesman,’ which won Best Screenplay at Cannes and is now nominated for an Oscar, may together with his cast and crew be prevented from entering our country. From its early days, the entertainment industry has been built by the imagination of immigrants. Our guilds are unions of storytellers who have always welcomed those from other nations, and of varying beliefs, who wish to share their creativity with America. We are grateful to them, we stand with them, we will fight for them.”

On Sunday, the director decided not to attend next month’s Academy Award ceremony, even if granted permission.
On Friday, a federal judge blocked the government from deporting citizens detained at U. S. airports as a result of the executive order to ban those coming in from seven Muslim countries. The ruling does not ensure that those detained will be released, but it does keep them from deportation, at least for the time being.

米連邦裁、難民らの入国規制したトランプ大統領令を一部阻止

Merkel übt scharfe Kritik an US-Einreiseverbot für Muslime

0

NewsHubDie deutsche Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel hält das von der US-Regierung verhängte Einreiseverbot gegen Flüchtlinge und Bürger einiger mehrheitlich muslimischer Staaten für falsch.
„Sie ist überzeugt, dass auch der notwendige entschlossene Kampf gegen den Terrorismus es nicht rechtfertigt, Menschen einer bestimmten Herkunft oder eines bestimmten Glaubens unter Generalverdacht zu stellen“, erklärte Regierungssprecher Steffen Seibert am Sonntag in Berlin. Merkel habe ihr Bedauern über diese Maßnahme auch im Telefonat mit dem US-Präsidenten am gestrigen Samstag zum Ausdruck gebracht, erklärte der Sprecher.
Die Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention fordere die internationale Staatengemeinschaft auf, Kriegsflüchtlinge aus humanitären Gründen aufzunehmen. „Alle Unterzeichnerstaaten sind dem verpflichtet. Die Bundeskanzlerin hatte diese Politik dem US-Präsidenten in ihrem gestrigen Telefonat erläutert“, führte er weiter aus.
Trump und Merkel hatten am späten Samstagnachmittag mitteleuropäischer Zeit erstmals seit Amtsübernahme des neuen US-Präsidenten am 20. Jänner miteinander telefoniert. Dabei hoben sie als gemeinsamen Nenner die „fundamentale Bedeutung“ der NATO für die transatlantischen Beziehungen und die Bewahrung von Frieden und Stabilität hervor.
Auch Irans Außenminister Mohammed Javad Zarif kritisiert den Präsidialerlass. Er hat den US-Präsidenten Donald Trump gewarnt, das von ihm verhängte Einreiseverbot für Bürger aus sieben mehrheitlich muslimischen Ländern verschaffe Extremisten Zulauf. Trumps Dekret, wonach Bürger aus dem Iran, Irak, Libyen, Somalia, Syrien, Sudan und Jemen für 90 Tage keine Visa erhalten dürfen, werde „in die Geschichte eingehen als großes Geschenk an Extremisten und ihrer Unterstützer“, schrieb Zarif am Sonntag im Kurzbotschaftendienst Twitter.
Auch die Regierungen Großbritanniens und Kanadas haben sich unmissverständlich von Trumps Einreiseverbot distanziert. Das Büro der britischen Premierministerin Theresa May erklärte in der Nacht auf Sonntag, die Einwanderungspolitik der USA sei zwar ebenso wie die anderer Länder allein deren Sache. „Aber wir sind mit diesem Ansatz nicht einverstanden, und es ist keiner, den wir verfolgen werden. “ Die Anordnung Trumps werde nun auf ihre Bedeutung und juristischen Folgen geprüft. „Wenn es irgendwelche Konsequenzen für britische Staatsangehörige haben sollte, dann werden wir natürlich bei der US-Regierung Einspruch dagegen erheben“, hieß es in der Stellungnahme.
Kanadas Premierminister Justin Trudeau reagierte darauf, indem er Flüchtlinge in seinem Land demonstrativ willkommen hieß. „An all jene, die vor Verfolgung, Terror und Krieg fliehen – Kanada wird euch willkommen heißen, ungeachtet eures Glaubens“, schrieb Trudeau auf Twitter. Seine Botschaft endet mit den Worten: „Vielfalt ist unsere Stärke #WelcomeToCanada (WillkommenInKanada)“. Dazu postete er ein Foto von sich und einem syrischen Flüchtlingsmädchen, das er im Dezember 2015 persönlich am Flughafen von Toronto willkommen geheißen hatte.
Trump hatte seinen Präsidialerlass am Freitag mit dem Kampf gegen den Terror begründet. Ein Gericht in New York entschied jedoch, dass Personen mit gültigen Visa weiterhin in die USA einreisen dürfen. Der US-Präsident hatte wiederholt scharfe Kritik an der deutschen Kanzlerin geübt und ihre Flüchtlingspolitik als „katastrophalen Fehler“ bezeichnet. Am Samstag telefonierten die beiden erstmals seit der Amtsübernahme Trumps.

Usually an Oscar warm-up, SAG Awards will miss a key player

0

NewsHub“La La Land” may have tied an Oscar record with 14 nominations, set a Golden Globes record with seven wins and won the top prize at Saturday’s Producers Guild Awards, but it won’t be competing for the top Screen Actors Guild award.
Sunday night’s SAG Awards often serve as an Academy Awards warm-up. That will be true in the individual acting categories where awards-season favorites like Viola Davis, Casey Affleck and Emma Stone hope to cement their front-runner status.
But this year’s biggest front-runner, “La La Land,” isn’t nominated for the Screen Actors’ ensemble award. Nominated instead are the casts for “Moonlight,” ”Manchester by the Sea,” ”Hidden Figures” and “Captain Fantastic.”
The 23rd annual SAG Awards will air live from 8-10 p.m. EST on TNT and TBS from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Lily Tomlin will be the night’s lifetime achievement honoree, an award to be presented by Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton.
“La La Land” did earn nods for its leads, Ryan Gosling and Stone. But if Damien Chazelle’s musical is to go on to win best picture, it will be the just the second film to do so without a SAG ensemble nod in the category’s history. Only Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart” managed it in 1996.
Actors, the largest group in the motion picture academy, hold considerable sway. SAG, though, is much larger, with about 160,000 members, compared to about 1,200 actors in the academy.
On the television side, competing for best ensemble in a drama is “The Crown,” ”Downton Abbey,” ”Game of Thrones,” ”Stranger Things” and “Westworld.” Comedy series ensemble nominees are “The Big Bang Theory,” ”Black-ish,” ”Modern Family,” ”Orange Is the New Black” and “Veep.”
