27.04.2025 โ‡ข Vancouver Festival Massacre Shadows Sports Victories
โŒจA car ramming attack at Vancouver's Lapu Lapu street festival dominated headlines as the death toll rose from multiple casualties to nine and finally eleven victims aged 5-65. Canadian PM Carney described the nation as "heartbroken," while police ruled out terrorism. Eyewitnesses reported "bodies everywhere" after a 30-year-old suspect drove his vehicle through crowds.

Sports news competed for attention as Chris Eubank Jr defeated Conor Benn in their historic grudge match, though Eubank was hospitalized with a suspected broken jaw. Later, Liverpool won the Premier League with four games remaining, equaling Manchester United's record of 20 titles.

Trump's diplomatic shift continued following his Vatican meeting with Zelensky, with the former president now criticizing Putin and expressing doubts about Russia's willingness to end the Ukraine war - a dramatic reversal from his previous stance supporting Moscow's position.
