[ WATCH ] Mexican police clashed with protesters outside Estadio Azteca as the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup got underway in Mexico City.
The protests have been building for weeks. Demonstrators are demanding justice for the missing, an end to cartel violence and impunity, a halt to forced evictions, better working conditions and pension reform.
In the days before the opener, marches and road blockades paralyzed parts of the capital while protesters covered FIFA billboards and painted slogans across city walls.
Anti-World Cup assemblies say the government is projecting a festive host nation while the country is plundered and its crisis obscured by FIFA's media machinery.

[ NEW ] The US-Iran ceasefire has triggered what Israeli sources describe as "profound concern" across the Zionist political, military, and media establishment.
According to the Times of Israel, "Israel was entirely excluded from the negotiations" β and the reported terms fall short of the war aims both sides had set out to achieve.
The alarm deepened after Trump publicly condemned the Israeli strike on Beirut's Dahiyeh β right as negotiations were entering their final hours. The terms now reportedly include a halt on all fronts, Lebanon included, raising fears among Israeli officials of a binding constraint on their "freedom of military action" across the country.
Yair Golan, head of the Israeli Democratic Party, said military gains had been "erased with a signature," while Netanyahu "stood on the sidelines β weak, ill, isolated, and powerless." He added "the man who promised total victory is ending his tenure with Israel's enemies stronger, Israel weaker, and deterrence crumbling before his eyes."

[ NEW ] Israeli forces have used a prohibited chemical substance in southern Lebanon, according to a complaint submitted by the Lebanese government to the UN Security Council.
Laboratory tests on soil samples from Aita al-Shaab, Ras Naqoura, and Al Dhahira confirmed that Israeli forces sprayed glyphosate across border villages on February 1.
Levels reached up to 22,750 micrograms per gram of soil β a concentration that, according to the Lebanese foreign ministry, amounts to the use of herbicides as weapons, in direct violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
The ministry filed a separate complaint over ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon, including a June 6 strike that hit a Lebanese army vehicle on the Kfartebnit-Khardali road in the south. Two officers and a soldier were killed while on duty.
