sport betting crypto BRASILIA: Brazil's 2026 presidential election may offer a field of candidates featuring neither incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva nor far-right rival Jair Bolsonaro. That scenario - possible, given Lula's state of health and a ban on Bolsonaro holding public office - would present a novel situation and open the door to possible successors. Lula, 79, is currently in hospital, recovering from emergency surgery on Tuesday to relieve pressure from bleeding under his skull related to a bad fall he had in October. Previously, Lula had treatment in 2011 for throat cancer, and last year a hip replacement operation. The health woes undermine the robust image that the raspy-voiced leftist icon has long projected, and which galvanized voters to have him as their president between 2003 and 2010, and again since 2023. In a CNN interview last month Lula declared himself willing to run again if no other viable left-wing candidate emerged. "I hope it won't be necessary," he said. An ally, Uruguay's ex-president Jose Mujica, recently told AFP: "Lula's nearly 80 and he has no replacement. That is Brazil's misfortune". BOLSONARO'S LEGAL WOES Bolsonaro, 69, faces challenges of a legal nature to try to regain the presidency he lost to Lula in 2022 elections. The former army captain, who relishes being compared to his hero Donald Trump, has been barred from holding public office, or leaving Brazil, because of what police say was a failed 2022 coup plot against Lula. Bolsonaro got his ban on public office by making unsubstantiated claims of fraud in Brazil's electronic voting system in that year's election. Police say he also incited a January 8, 2023 insurrection in which thousands of supporters stormed the presidential palace, the Congress and the Supreme Court, and allege he had a decree written to invoke emergency powers to stay in charge. Bolsonaro denies the accusations - which the attorney general is currently weighing to decide if formal charges will be laid - and has vowed to have the ban set aside so he can run again. "I am Plan A, Plan B and also Plan C" for 2026, he told a radio program last week. "Bolsonaro seeks inspiration from Trump ... but has before him a long battle in the courts," said Roberto Goulart, an international relations professor at Brasilia University. Brazil's political and justice system has thrown up surprises before. Lula himself was barred from running for president in 2018, when he was convicted of corruption, propelling his running mate, former Sao Paulo mayor and current economy minister Fernando Haddad, to the top of the ticket. Haddad lost to Bolsonaro. And Lula's conviction was later overturned when the judge in charge of the case against him was found to be biased. HEIRS APPARENT Lula's ministers voice optimism about the state of the president's health, despite his recent emergency. "President Lula is very well ... He will certainly be our candidate in 2026," Communication Minister Paulo Pimenta told CNN on Thursday. "The person who won't be able to run in that election is Bolsonaro, who is ineligible and will probably be in prison before the vote happens," Pimenta said. According to a survey by MDA Pesquisa last month, six out 10 leftwing voters would prefer to see Lula run in 2026. If that does not happen, analysts and surveys point to Haddad, 61, as his most likely successor. Lula's last choice to succeed him did not end well. Back in 2010, he anointed his chief-of-staff Dilma Rousseff as his replacement when he reached his two-term limit, ensuring she became president. But she ended up being impeached in her second term, and was ousted in 2016 for breaking budget laws. On the right, while Bolsonaro still garners attention, Brazilian media and analysts have advanced several names that could be considered his heir. Among them are Sao Paulo state governor Tarcisio de Freitas, 49 - and Bolsonaro's wife Michelle Bolsonaro, 42. Freitas has publicly expressed loyalty to Bolsonaro, saying that his "leadership is unquestionable and endures".Thursday Night Football: Updated Caesars Sportsbook promo code doubles your winnings on Rams vs. 49ers Tonight

US imposes sanctions on 35 entities vessels for transporting Iranian oilsThe Argentine government will allow universities and hospitals nationwide to charge non-resident foreigners, presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni said in his usual press conference. However, critics told the Herald that university students are already required to be residents to sign up for undergraduate degrees and that the number of international students in public universities is minimal. “The goal of the measures is to move forward, as in all the measures we take, toward an orderly country and, in this case, a country that takes care of its borders and protects Argentine citizens,” Adorni said during the conference. He added that charging fees to non-resident foreigners will “represent a source of financing” for universities. State universities have not charged students for undergraduate degrees since 1949 . “Just to give an example: one out of every three medical students is a foreigner,” Adorni said. However, a spokesperson for the National University of Córdoba (UNC) told the Herald that foreign students already need Argentine ID cards (“DNI” for their Spanish initials) to sign up for careers in national universities. Those ID cards are only issued to residents in Argentina, and foreigners usually get temporary residence permits (called precarias ) before getting a definitive one. That means that there are no “non-resident foreigners” studying in Argentina. There are two exceptions: exchange students who come “usually for a semester,” but the fees they pay are low enough to be considered “symbolic.” Another one could be the CBC, Buenos Aires University’s entry course, which international students can sign up for with their country’s ID card or their passports. However, once they are accepted into their degree of choice, they must present an Argentine DNI. The UNC spokesperson added that university authorities are not planning to charge international students, and that, even if the government’s announcement were applicable, universities would be allowed, and not forced to, charge them. “Universities are autonomous,” the spokesperson added. “The government is diverting the discussion. The issue that worries the universities is what budget they will have next year.” A series of austerity measures implemented by the Milei administration have hit public universities hard , sparking nationwide protests and months of tensions. Adorni added that the government aims to ” end free medical care for foreigners,” including “national, provincial or municipal agencies.” He added that the province of Salta, which borders Bolivia, is charging foreign patients, and “the number of foreigners treated was reduced by 95% and a savings of AR$60 million was generated.” Yamila Pereyra, a social worker from the Bonaparte Hospital , said that the health center’s authorities have not released an official communiqué on the topic. “There has never been any refusal to treat foreigners; we have always treated every person without restrictions regardless of their immigration status in the country,” she added. Rodolfo Arrechea, the Health Secretary for the state workers’ union ATE, told the Herald that they always supported “universal health care,” and that a patient’s nationality is not a factor. “In Buenos Aires, there is a percentage, albeit minimal, of foreigners [that use public hospitals,] but they are a vulnerable population,” Arrechea said. The union leader said the government is trying to make excuses, as it is defunding hospitals and looking for “the state not to be present.” “[Foreigners going to public hospitals] do not move the needle, but that person is going to stop going to the hospital, and you can buy yourself a bigger health issue — for example, cases of tuberculosis or HIV.” Adorni said both changes will be made by modifying the immigration law. He added that the reform will also “incorporate more crimes as causes to prevent entry or as justification to expel an immigrant from the country.” “Therefore, if a criminal is caught in flagrante delicto , that is, if he is caught committing the crime or if he is arrested for violating the democratic system, attacking the institutions, for example, he will be expelled and will be prohibited from re-entering the country,” he said. Three weeks ago, Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas requested the arrest of 61 Brazilians living in Argentina who were convicted in Brazil for participating in the January 2023 storming of government buildings. Four have been detained so far.Smodin Unites Powerful Domains to Deliver an All-in-One AI PlatformMorgan Rogers looked to have given Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home in stoppage time, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. Contact seemed minimal but VAR did not intervene and Villa had to settle for a point in a 0-0 draw. “With the last action, it is the interpretation of the referee,” the Spaniard said. “In England, 80 per cent of those is given a goal and it’s not a foul. It’s very soft. “But in Europe, it could be a foul. We have to accept. “Everybody will know, in England the interpretation is different. The England referees, when actions like that the interpretation is a clear no foul but in Europe that interpretation is different. “They have to be working to get the same decision when some action like that is coming. I don’t know exactly why but we knew before in the Premier League that it is different. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 “In Europe for example we are not doing a block like in England and we are not doing in front of the goalkeeper in offensive corners the same situations like in England. “When the action happened, I was thinking here in Europe it’s a foul. In England not, but in Europe I have to accept it. “At first, I thought the referee gave us a goal. In cases like that, it’s confusing because he has to wait for VAR. I don’t know what happened but I think so (the referee changed his mind with VAR).” It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. “We were playing a favourite to be in the top eight and usually a contender to win this competition,” Emery added. “We are a team who for a long time didn’t play in Europe and the Champions League and this year is very important. “We wanted to play competitive and we are in the right way. Today to get one point is very good, we wanted to win but wanted to avoid some mistakes we made in previous games. “We have 10 points and we’re happy.” Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. Juve boss Thiago Motta, whose side are 19th but still in contention to reach the top eight, said: “There’s just three games left to qualify. The next home against Man City, then Brugge, then Benfica. “One at a time, as we always did with the goal to qualify for the next round. “In the end we will try and reach our goal which is to go to the next round.”
