According to witnesses reports, Saucedo was involved in a fight between two groups of River Plate's hooligans inside the Monumental Stadium and while the game's first half was still being played. On Monday, police officers and inspectors led a raid at the River Plates Monumental Stadium. Nevertheless, the cameras of the stadium did not film what had happened. As a result, security personnel in charge of the security footage may be suspended. 3.- In an official statement to mark the 30th anniversary of the end of the Malvinas War, United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron vowed to continue to support Malvinas islanders on their claim for the sovereignty of the archipelago. Our resolve to support the Falkland (Malvinas) Islanders has not wavered in the last thirty years and it will not in the years ahead, Cameron wrote. And just as we have stood up for the Falkland Islanders (Malvinas) in the past, so we will in the future.

6.- Brutish? You have to hand it to the Neanderthals after all


Neanderthal Man, normally typecast as brutish, unsophisticated and primitive, may well have had a distinctly artistic streak, according to new archaeological research. A series of Stone Age cave paintings in northern Spain, long-thought to be less than 25,000 years old, have just had their dates pushed back more than 15 millennia making them Europes oldest known definitively-dated paintings. The new date for the art works means that, on balance of probabilities, they were potentially painted by Neanderthals rather than members of our own species of humanity, Homo sapiens.
