BERLIN: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has spoken out in favour of introducing a 'coach's challenge' for referee calls in football, after Borussia Dortmund's controversial 1-1 draw with Bochum last weekend.
"A challenge would be a solution to avoid something like that happening again in the future," Klopp said, calling it"an interesting idea for football." In Germany, a refereeing decision last Friday could have cost Klopp's former club Dortmund top spot in the Bundesliga. Dortmund ultimately drew the game 1-1, ceding their spot atop the Bundesliga table to Bayern Munich with four games remaining this season.

Rich nations to meet overdue $134b climate pledge this yearBERLIN – Wealthy nations are on track this year to meet their overdue US$100 billion (S$133.7b) climate finance pledge to developing countries, three years later than promised, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Tuesday. Ms Baerbock said donor countries met on Monday to discuss progress towards their pledge, made back in 2009, to transfer US$100 billion per year from 2020 to vulnerable states hit by increasingly severe climate change impacts. “The good news is that it looks like we are on track to finally reach the sum of US$100 billion this year,” she told a meeting of more than 40 representatives to discuss efforts to tackle climate change in Berlin. The US$100 billion falls far short of poor nations’ actual needs, but has become symbolic of wealthy countries’ failure to deliver promised climate funds. Failure to meet it has fuelled mistrust in climate negotiations between countries to attempt to boost CO2-cutting measures. The United Arab Emirates’ president-designate of this year’s UN climate talks said the funding delays were holding up progress in addressing climate change. “Expectations are high. Trust is low,” Sultan al-Jaber said, adding that the real value of the US$100 billion had eroded since the pledge was first made in 2009. Developing economies say they cannot afford to cut CO2 emissions without more support from the rich nations responsible for most of the greenhouse gases heating the planet. Wealthy countries provided US$83.3 billion in 2020 – falling US$16.7 billion short of the target, according to the latest available OECD data. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and wealthy countries had previously indicated the goal could be met this year. “It is frankly an embarrassment that it hasn’t been possible to mobilise this money yet – especially taking into consideration that really, when being honest, we need trillions,” Mr Dan Jorgensen, Denmark’s Minister for Global Climate Policy and Development, told Reut
