In Germany, a U.S. beer invasion Almost 65 years after Allied planes flew Western supplies into blockaded Berlin, a new American import is arriving by air: craft beer. The beer is being flown in as part of a new surge of German interest in American brewing, upending a centuries-old relationship in which German beer defined the golden standard for brewing and Americans emulated it.

NEW YORK — When Team USA walks with the world’s athletes at the Paris Olympics’opening ceremony, they’ll be doing so in snappy tailored navy blazers from Ralph Lauren — and blue jeans.
Just regular, everyday denim blue jeans.
Ralph Lauren, which unveiled Tuesday its ninth turn creating Olympic parade looks for the Americans, is billing the pairing as “unexpected” yet classic.
David Lauren, the company’s chief branding and innovation officer and its founder’s son, was unbothered by the casualness of blue denim.
“We work very closely with Team USA to make the athletes feel at once dressed up, feel like a team, but at the same time comfortable and very distinctively American,” he told The Associated Press on Monday during a media preview at the company’s posh New York headquarters.
“Nothing says America like blue jeans, especially when we’re in Paris,” Lauren added.
DUSSELDORF, Germany — Kylian Mbappé suffered a broken nose during France’s 1-0 win against Austria at the European Championship on Monday and will have to wear a protective mask if he plays on at the tournament.
The World Cup winning striker had to be substituted after colliding with Austria’s Kevin Danso during the Group D match at Dusseldorf Arena and France coach Didier Deschamps did not know in the immediate aftermath if the injury would rule him out of the rest of Euro 2024.
He was taken to a hospital in Dusseldorf and the France’s Football Federation confirmed the extent of the injury.
“He will undergo treatment in the coming days, without undergoing surgery immediately,” it said in a statement.
The writing was on the wall—or, at least, in the polls. Despite the fact that young Europeans had turned out en masse to prevent a predicted far-right surge during the 2019 European Parliament elections, they wouldn’t necessarily be compelled to do so again five years later. If anything, many analysts warned in the days and weeks leading up the vote, many of them would end up voting for the far right.

And vote they did.
After a 31-14 win against Purdue on Oct. 28, Nebraska was poised to snap its bowl drought last year.
As the Cornhuskers prepare for the 2024 season, however, that drought is still active.
Head coach Matt Rhule enters his second season at Nebraska with high expectations to deliver a postseason appearance to the program for the first time since 2016.
