No anthems or special balls - but Champions League starts now
In some ways the purest form of the Champions League starts this is only 38 days since Paris St-Germain demolished Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in front of the eyes of the world - but the vibe is very different as the new campaign kicks first qualifying round begins on Tuesday at 16:00 BST in Kuopio, Finland, with 28 teams - all of them champions of their country - in action this may be no Champions League anthem before games and clubs just use their own balls but it is the Champions League still - including Virtus, from San Marino, who are eight games away from the league Liechtenstein, who do not have a league, and Russia, who remain banned because of the war with Ukraine, do not get at least one Champions League is a long road to the 2026 final in Budapest in 326 days' time, although it is likely every club kicking off this week will be footnotes by Sport has a look at some of the stories, teams and ties involved this week. Could someone go all the way? Only 10 teams managed to go all the way through from the first round of Champions League qualifying to the group or league phase - including Slovan Bratislava last got past Struga, Celje, Apoel and Midtjylland... before losing all eight league games. But just getting there meant they earned more than £15m. And their 16 matches played were only one fewer than champions a team went all the way through to the final they could end up playing 25 Champions League games (a path that requires them featuring in the the knockout phase play-offs).Only one team have reached the knockout stages after starting in the very first round - Liverpool in Reds were Champions League winners in 2005, but finished fifth in the Premier League - and back then the holders did not automatically qualify. Uefa gave them special dispensation, but they had to start in the first round of got through three rounds of qualifying (as it was back then) - beating TNS, FBK Kaunas and CSKA Sofia - and won their group before a last-16 exit. The 552nd best team Virtus, champions of San Marino, are the lowest-ranked team in the draw by some distance. All of their players and staff have other 10-year club coefficients ranks them 552nd (out of 554 teams), a list that only includes teams who have played in Europe over that period of season was their debut in Europe, as they lost 11-1 to Romanian side FCSB in this round.A second consecutive league title has them competing again - this time against Bosnian champions Zrinjski the club accept they have very little chance of advancing and see it as a privilege to be involved. For one thing no Sammarinese team have ever won a Champions League they are confident of competing well in the Conference League third qualifying round, which the losers of this game will drop president Pier Domenico Giulianelli said: "This is our second time in the Champions League, and we're sure that the experience last year will be useful. "We know these will be two very tough matches, but I'm confident the boys will give their all on the pitch."The club are expecting about 1,000 fans at the San Marino Stadium in Serravalle, with about three-quarters of them coming from Bosnia. They usually get 50-100 people at their home only San Marino international is Alessandro Golinucci, who captained the country to their famous win over Liechtenstein last September which ended a 20-year run without a victory. The new boys The only Champions League debutants in the first round of qualifying are Armenian side FC season they went through every round of Conference League qualifying before reaching the league phase, where they lost one game 8-0 at Yerevan side, who were only formed eight years ago and named after the religious figure Noah, are a team trying to get places quickly under owner Vardges signed 16 players last summer and a new manager in Rui Mota. They went on to win the league and cup Mota left for Ludogorets (more on them in a bit) this summer, with 41-year-old Croatian Sandro Perkovic taking his place. Club development director Anna Ohanyan told BBC Sport: "Taking part in the Champions League qualifiers is a historic moment for FC Noah. "Just two seasons after the new management stepped in, we managed to qualify for the league phase of a European competition, became champions of Armenia, won the Armenian Cup - and now here we are in the first qualifying round of the Champions League. This is only the beginning."We fought hard to win the Armenian championship because we have bigger ambitions for ourselves and for Armenian football. This qualification gives us a chance to show that ambition to the whole of Europe."They play Montenegrin side Buducnost side Pafos FC, who enter at the second-round stage - where they play Maccabi Tel Aviv - are also in the competition for the first time. The regulars Bulgarian champions Ludogorets are in the first round of qualifying for the eighth consecutive six years before that they entered in the second qualifying round - under an old system where the first round only involved a handful of their 14 consecutive league titles have meant 14 years of Champions League qualifying. Twice they reached the groups: in 2014-15, where they earned a 2-2 draw with Liverpool, and 2009 they were an amateur third-tier team, who had never been in the top following year pharmaceutical multi-millionaire Kiril Domuschiev took them over, they won immediate promotion and have won the title in each and every top-flight season they have ever played year they take on Belarusian side Dinamo Minsk. The derbies There are two derbies between teams from neighbouring countries in the first qualifying side Shelbourne and Belfast club Linfield meet in a rematch of the 2005 Setanta Sports Cup, the old competition between the champions of the Republic of Ireland and Northern was also the last year Shels were in the Champions League until now - with a young Wes Hoolahan in the go into the game with a new manager in former West Ham defender Joey O'Brien after the surprise resignation of Damien as 57-time champions of Northern Ireland, are regulars at this stage. They are also managed by an ex-Premier League player, with former Leeds, Preston and Sunderland striker David Healy at the respective grounds are less than a two-hour drive apart - which for Shelbourne is a shorter journey than some league games. However, they have to stay in Belfast the night before the game because of pre-match media legs of that tie will be live on the BBC Sport website and other derby is between Levadia Tallinn of Estonia and Latvian side RFS (which once stood for Riga Football School but is now their name).They could meet again later this year if the irregularly held Livonian Cup - between the champions of Estonia and Latvia is played again. Paulius Jakelis, head of marketing and communications at RFS, told BBC Sport: "From a travel perspective, it's ideal - just a four-hour bus ride and we're there. "It means minimal travel costs, simpler planning and logistics, and much easier access for our fans." How about the British teams? Perennial Welsh champions TNS, who play their home games in England, play Shkendija of North Macedonia. Neutrals will hope it is half as dramatic as when they met at this stage in 2018 with Shkendija winning 5-4 on aggregate. The Macedonians won 5-0 at home, with TNS falling just short in the second leg in Oswestry's Park Hall with a 4-0 Red Imps, champions of British Overseas Territory Gibraltar - the second lowest-ranked league - face Faroese side their squad is 43-year-old Lee Casciaro, who has been with the club since 1998, and scored against Celtic in a shock first-leg win in of Glasgow teams, Rangers enter the Champions League at the second qualifying round against Panathinaikos. Celtic start off at the play-off six representatives - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham - go straight into the league phase. What next for the losers? The teams who lose this round are not out of Europe entirely - dropping into the Conference League would go into the second round of the Conference League but a random draw picked two ties whose losers would go into the third round. San Marino club Virtus and Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps are involved in those two games - meaning they would be only two rounds away from the Conference League group who lose in the second round of Champions League qualifying would go into the third qualifying round of the Europa League by the way, and not the Conference League.

Heartbreaking video shows Camp Mystic girls having fun hours before floods swept dozens to their deaths
Heart-wrenching video showed campers dancing and having fun at Camp Mystic just hours before dozens of them were swept away in the tragic flash flooding. The all-girls Christian camp near the Guadalupe River, Texas, was hosting 750 girls for the summer when a heavy deluge on Friday night swept away the camp in the dead of night. Cabins housing the eight and nine year old girls were the worst hit. At least 27 campers and counselors are confirmed dead in the tragedy, with 11 more missing. Video taken by Camp Mystic nurse Devon Paige captured the joy and fun of camp in the hours before the tragedy. The girls danced and ran around the food hall, played running games in the grass and cheered each other on in the heartwarming video. They were blissfully unaware of the horrors to come just hours later. The death toll for the Fourth of July holiday weekend tragedy surpassed 100 on Monday, c limbing to at least 104 as rescues scoured the debris for bodies. First responders are stil l hopeful that they'll find survivors four days after the tragedy, but have acknowledged that the window is quickly closing. Paige later shared a series of devastating videos en route to the reunification center after the floods struck. One of the eerie videos captured the moment a bus full of singing girls fell nearly silent as they were confronted with the devastation of the floods. The girls were singing Christian hymns in unison, trying to stay calm as their bus navigated the dangerous drive to safety. But their voices suddenly faded, replaced by gasps and quiet cries of 'oh my god, oh my god' as the true scale of the destruction came into view. The footage shows the bus moving through floodwaters, passing downed trees, submerged streets, wrecked homes, and cars tossed together like toys. 'The girls are singing to try and calm everyone,' Paige said. 'This is footage from my evacuation and everything I saw. I wish you could see before shots to show how truly devastating it is.' The video moved thousands on TikTok, with many users comparing the scene to a real-life horror movie. Operators of Camp Mystic, a century-old, all-girl summer camp in the Texas Hill Country, said on Monday 10 girls and one counselor remain missing. The raging flash floods — among the nation's worst in decades — slammed into riverside camps and homes before daybreak Friday, pulling sleeping people out of their cabins, tents and trailers and dragging them for miles past floating tree trunks and automobiles. Some survivors were found clinging to trees. Piles of twisted trees sprinkled with mattresses, refrigerators, coolers and canoes now litter the riverbanks. Search-and-rescue teams used heavy equipment near Kerrville to remove large branches while volunteers covered in mud sorted through chunks of debris, piece by piece. It is unclear how many people remain missiong across Central Texas, but there are fears that the weather could continue to worsen into Monday night. The National Weather Service is predicting two to three inches of rain to fall per hour, with even more in some regions. These areas are already soaked through from the heavy deluge of the weekend and any more rain will likely cause rapid flash flooding.

Blake Lively is forced to answer tough questions about It Ends with Us after bold legal move
In the latest phase in the litigation surrounding last summer's hit romantic drama It Ends with Us, a date has been set for Blake Lively to answer questions asked by the attorneys of her costar in the film, Justin Baldoni. An email sent July 2 stated that the deposition for Lively, who shares four children with husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, is set for July 17. The details were uncovered as part of a request for a one-week extension after attorneys for Lively, 37, subpoenaed a pair of publicists employed by Baldoni, 41; an attorney for the publicists then subsequently filed the motion, People reported Monday. The Gossip Girl alum, who with Reynolds was dismissed from Baldoni's $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit nearly a month ago, is tentatively slated to take the stand when the trial begins in New York City in March 2026. The deposition is slated to take place in New York City, insiders confirmed to TMZ, but it was unclear where. Insiders with Lively told the outlet she was prepared to face a series of difficult inquiries; and that Reynolds isn't expected to attend. Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Lively and Baldoni for further comment on the story. Baldoni lawyer Bryan Freedman spoke with TMZ Live June 10 - a day after a New York City judge scuttled a $400 million suit Baldoni filed accusing Lively and spouse Ryan Reynolds of defamation and extortion. The lawyer admitted that while he and the Baldoni camp 'weren't pleased that that the judge dismissed the defamation claim, ' it wasn't 'what the case is about.' The attorney then recapped the series of events that led to the massive litigation surrounding the surprise summer hit. 'We got started because Blake Lively filed a CRD complaint and then walked over and filed a lawsuit,' he said, 'which accused some very good people of a smear campaign and accused a terrific young man of sexual harassment - both of the which were completely untrue.' 'And that's where the case got started' and 'where the case stands today.' 'What we wanted our win is to show there was no smear campaign, and there's no sexual harassment,' Freedman explained. 'And she hasn't proved a thing - as a matter of fact, it's just the opposite.' Freedman told TMZ Live that evidence presented in the early stages of litigation has been damning for Lively and Reynolds. 'Look at the facts, look at what's been shown, look at the receipts, look at the video,' said the lawyer. Freedman told the outlet that proving the claims Lively made to be false has always been the chief focus for Baldoni's team, 'in addition to getting damages.' He said he was hoping Lively didn't 'drop her lawsuit ... because she's on a false victory tour, and she's afraid of the truth. 'The truth is, you know, going to be shown through depositions, which is what's going to be next, I've noticed her deposition - it's set in June - we're going to see if she's going to appear at that deposition or not,' Freedman said. 'And we're gonna proceed forward with the case, and we're gonna show that there was no sexual harassment, and we're gonna show that there was no smear campaign.' The actress on Monday released a powerful statement on June 9, hours after a judge dismissed Baldoni's case. 'Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety,' Lively said on Instagram. 'Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us.' The Los Angeles-born star continued: 'While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back.' Lively vowed that she was 'more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story.' Lively wrapped up in thanking those in the public who have supported her amid the turbulent past year. 'With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know,' Lively said. 'Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.' The It Ends With Us actress, whose legal battle has had a significant impact on her friendship with Taylor Swift, added a list of groups that had publicly supported her amid the highly-publicized Tinseltown tussle. Among them, in alphabetical order, were the California Employment Lawyers Association, California Women's Law Center, CHILD USA, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Equal Rights Advocates, Esperanza United, Her Justice, and Herunivercity Inc. In a move that might have been a harbinger of changing momentum in the case, Lively took aim at Baldoni Thursday, saying that women's groups had abandoned him in droves. A total of '19 leading survivors and organizations devoted to women's rights, children's rights and domestic violence have now signed onto four separate amicus briefs,' a spokesperson for the Another Simple Favor actress told Daily Mail in a statement. The statement continued: 'All are united in opposing Justin Baldoni's attempt to dismantle a law designed to protect women who speak up — simply to protect himself.' Lively's team said that Baldoni was going against his own playbook as the complicated legal case progresses, leaving himself open to increased scrutiny in the wake of his past public statements. 'Rather than defend his case on the facts, Baldoni is now contradicting years of his own public persona - abandoning the message of his #MeToo YouTube 's, podcasts, TED Talks, and interviews, where he once upon a time urged men 'to listen to the women in your life … to hold their anguish and actually believe them, even if what they're saying is against you,' Lively's rep said. The statement wrapped up: 'These women and organizations are sounding the alarm about his DARVO tactics, and the chilling effect they could have well beyond this case.' One party that can breathe a sigh of relief after Baldoni's lawsuit was thrown out is Marvel Entertainment, LLC. Baldoni had subpoenaed the studio to get it to preserve any documents related to the Deadpool & Wolverine character Nicepool, which his legal team claimed was designed 'to mock, harass, ridicule, intimidate or bully' Baldoni. But after throwing out Baldoni's lawsuit, Liman agreed to Marvel's request to 'quash the subpoena issued to Marvel from [Baldoni's] Wayfarer Parties and for a protective order prohibiting the disclosure of Marvel's confidential documents.' Baldoni's team had send a letter requesting documents be retained to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and Bob Iger, CEO of its parent company Walt Disney, on January 7. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in a lawsuit; while Baldoni accused Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane of defamation and extortion in a $400 million suit - the latter of which was dismissed Monday. Baldoni has denied the allegations brought about by Lively, while Lively, Reynolds and Sloane have denied the accusations made in litigation by Baldoni. Lively in December sued Baldoni amid claims of sexual harassment during production of the motion picture. In her lawsuit, the Gossip Girl alum accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her in multiple ways — including body shaming her — and orchestrating a smear campaign against her to damage her reputation. The star of films such as The Town and The Shallows posted a statement to her Instagram Stories amid the momentous legal proceedings June 9 Baldoni and his reps have said in response to the lawsuit that Lively twisted the meaning of text messages and mislead the public about their interactions while making the motion picture. In her lawsuit, Lively named a number of Baldoni's collaborators, including his company Wayfarer Studios, the studio's CEO and financial backer, and PR personnel Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel. Baldoni subsequently sued the newspaper for $250 million in a defamation claim over a December 21 story titled '"We Can Bury Anyone": Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine ;' the newspaper has denied the allegations. Baldoni on January 16 filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane, alleging defamation and extortion. Baldoni told the court the trio had concocted 'false accusations of sexual harassment' against him. In the film based off Colleen Hoover's 2016 novel, Lively portrayed florist Lily Bloom opposite Baldoni who played the role of Ryle Kincaid.
