The life and soul of Sydney is just weeks away from terminal damage if the city's Covid lockdown goes into a devastating second month, business leaders warn. Up to 20 per cent of Sydney's businesses - both big and small - will go to the wall and snuff out the city's vibrant identity if restrictions are extended again, they say.

England beat Denmark in a tense semi final at Wembley on Wednesday, with Harry Kane scoring the winner in extra time after his penalty was saved.  But some felt the penalty won by Raheem Sterling, which was checked and confirmed by VAR, was harsh on Denmark who rarely threatened England after their opening goal in the first half.

A fraction of a second after pushing his spot kick too close to the outstretched Danish keeper, Harry Kane fired the rebound seen around the world into the net, propelling England past Denmark into the final of Euro 2020.  As one, almost 60,000 supporters in Wembley stadium, and a nation watching in their homes, leapt to their feet and cried to the skies. Nerves jangled, full-time came and went. England have been propelled into their first final since the 1966 World Cup.  Fans had chanted 'football's coming home' outside the stadium on Wednesday, hoping to relive the glory days of half a century ago, when a very different kind of England tasted ultimate victory.     Football was seen as a working-class sport 50 years ago, before the enormous surge in players' wages. The early 20th Century even had a £20 'salary cap', but, following its scrapping, the sport saw its first £100-a-week player in 1961, followed a year later by the first ever £100,000.

The First Lady of Haiti has been airlifted to Southern Florida for treatment at a Miami hospital after being shot multiple times during a nighttime assassination raid that killed President Jovenel Moise. Moise, 53, was assassinated at the couple's private residence outside Port-Au-Prince in the early hours of Wednesday by a band of gunmen posing as agents of the US Drug Enforcement Agency. The brazen assassination inflicted further chaos on the Caribbean nation, the poorest in the Americas, which was already enduring rampant gang violence, soaring inflation and frequent riots over Mr Moise's increasingly authoritarian rule and attempts to rewrite the country's constitution.
