‘Cowardly and disrespectful' – Darts pair slammed for ‘breaking player etiquette'
DEVON PETERSEN has accused Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney of "big headedness " as he hit back at accusations of being "disrespectful ". The South African darts star was for his on-stage antics as the latter and Gurney claimed victory in their quarter-final battle at the World Cup of Darts last month. 4 Rock fired shots at Petersen in Northern Ireland Credit: Getty 4 He went on to win the tournament with his partner, Daryl Gurney Credit: Getty 4 Petersen has hit back - and he's gone all in Credit: Getty Petersen - who played with Cameron Carolissen - was accused of talking throughout the match and even spilling some of his drink over Gurney's darts case. Now, Petersen has responded to those claims - and it's fair to say he didn't hold back, savagely branding Rock and his partner as "cowardly and disrespectful." He told Online Darts, as per the "I think the crazy part is, we celebrated them on the stage, when they came off the stage. read more on darts 'We saw them at the hotel. We had jokes with them, spoke about the event, spoke about the game, said, listen, the possibilities of you winning is real. So understand that the next steps , make it count. "Make it your World Cup, is what we said. Josh and Daryl was celebratory towards us, we miss you on tour and all of that stuff." Rock and Gurley went on to win the tournament - but Petersen says he was left feeling disappointed by the pair after seeing the headlines Rock created with his comments about him. He continued: "You get back home to the hotel, you see these headlines. Most read in Darts BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'And I was almost like, number one, cowardly. I felt like it was a coward move because I was stood right in front of you, could have said it to my face. "Number two is, there should be a player etiquette. When you talk nonsense on stage and you're speaking to a global audience, and it's the World Cup, so it is the global audience. What Josh Rock was saying about being disrespectful. Darts star Luke Littler tries out brand new sport and fans reckon they know where he learned his technique 'I've only been respectful to everybody that I've played against and played with and competed against, even Josh Rock. And it feels as though there's a slight big headedness that came through at that point. "And I don't know if it's emotion because we've seen a lot of players go through that and stress and, obviously, things placed on them and pressure." Petersen doesn't accept Rock's criticism, either. He said: 'I wanted to win for South Africa . There was no way that I wasn't going to give it my all, right? And there was comments made by Daryl Gurney saying 'he spoke all the time on the stage'. "It's a pairs game, there's four people on the stage. The only way that I'm going to make the player that is partnered with me comfortable, I told him, listen to my voice. 'I didn't speak to Daryl Gurney or to Josh Rock and say you're going to play bad or kind of disrupt their game. If you listen to me as well, that's on you, you got your team. "And they were also doing the exact same. So I don't know how they went 'oh, we won, but he was so disrespectful'. If I was on the stage and they said it, I would have said some stuff. 'In the end, Josh Rock came with the attitude he wanted to win. He came with that almost, I'm going to say arrogance, but not in a bad way. He came with that confidence. Let me call it that, the confidence because he's been playing well. 4 Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney won the World Cup of Darts for Northern Ireland, defeating Wales 10-9 in a thrilling final Credit: Getty "Daryl said that he told Josh Rock, this is Devon's game to play. So I think that he built Josh Rock up with this kind of almost aggression and all of that stuff, where it wasn't my fault. 'And then when they were talking about throwing water on their darts. To understand, to throw water three metres away from where I'm stood? Listen, if I was throwing water that good, I wish it was my darts so that I would have been in the final and not them. 'So, yes, I think that there was a lot that went wrong." Despite feeling disappointed by Rock's comments, the South African says he did congratulate the pair on their victory. However, he maintains there was a "lack of class" from the opponents. He added: "I messaged Daryl, I called him a few names, but I congratulated him as well because we have a relationship like that. I felt it was a silly moment for them to do it. "If they worded it differently and they said we wanted to win for Northern Ireland , that would have been a lot more tasteful than Devon was disrespectful because there's no reason for me to be respecting you on a stage if you're my opponent. 'I respect the game rules, I respect everything else, but we are opponents, I'm there to rip your head off. I didn't do anything to impede your game. your name or reputation. You did all of that. "So it showed a bit of the level or the lack of class from Team Northern Ireland .'

Bacteria strain that evades antibiotics is spreading in Europe
A new strain of bacteria that can cause serious infections in children but evades standard treatments is spreading in Europe. MRSA (meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a type of bacteria that has evolved to the point where first-choice antibiotics no longer work against it, making it harder to treat. It can cause serious health problems if it gets inside the body, causing more than 100,000 deaths worldwide in 2019. A new strain of MRSA was identified in Germany and the Netherlands nearly a decade ago – and it has since spread to at least nine other European countries, according to new research by Denmark's Statens Serum Institut (SSI). The scientists began to worry that the strain might be circulating in Denmark after 32 children and family members developed ulcers that were caused by a specific type of staph bacteria in summer 2023. A year later, they identified another outbreak from the same bacteria elsewhere in the country. They suspected Denmark was not the only place affected by the new strain, which they call a 'clone' of another type of MRSA because they have some genetic similarities. When they analysed samples across Europe, they found the bacteria in 11 countries: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. 'This clone, which was first found in Germany and the Netherlands in 2014, is a new subtype' of the bacteria, Andreas Petersen, a MRSA researcher at SSI who led the study, said in a statement. The researchers published their findings in the journal Eurosurveillance. The strain is genetically similar to another form of MRSA that appears to cause impetigo, a bacterial skin infection that causes red sores to form and burst around the nose and mouth. Most common among children aged two to five, impetigo is highly contagious and can spread easily within families. Outbreaks usually occur in late summer and early autumn. Impetigo usually isn't dangerous, but rare complications include kidney damage and cellulitis, an infection that can be life-threatening if it spreads to the lymph nodes and bloodstream. Fusidic acid, an antibiotic cream, is commonly used to treat impetigo infections, but it does not work well against the MRSA strain. That is why doctors across Europe need to know if it may be spreading in their communities, the researchers said. 'We believe that it is a combination of these virulence factors [or genes] as well as the resistance to fusidin that has helped make this new type so successful,' Petersen said. MRSA is just one of many health threats emerging due to antibiotic resistance. Infections from so-called superbugs could kill more than 39 million people worldwide over the next 25 years, according to a landmark study published last year. Antibiotic resistance also takes a toll on the health system. Together, the 11 countries where the new MRSA strain has been identified spent nearly $13.3 billion (€11.4 billion) treating hospital patients with drug-resistant infections in 2022, according to recent estimates from the Center for Global Development. The Danish researchers believe the new strain may be spreading undetected in other parts of Europe as well. It has already been found outside of hospitals and nursing homes, which have strict protocols in place to contain MRSA, Petersen said. 'The spread of MRSA in the community is more difficult to monitor and combat,' he added.

Manitoba researchers look at potential impact of wildfires on polar bear denning habitat
Some Manitoba researchers are looking into the potential impact and overlap of wildfires with polar bear denning habitat. 'We have a warming climate, we have the subarctic drying out, and that's increasing fire risk,' said Stephen Peterson, the director of conservation and research with Assiniboine Park Conservancy. 'And where those fires occur where there's polar bear denning, we have this problem where the fires can impact the quality of that den habitat.' Much of Petersen's research is focusing on Wapusk National Park, a core polar bear denning area situated along the shore of the Hudson Bay where the boreal forest ends and the arctic tundra begins. View image in full screen Stephen Peterson, the director of conservation and research, points to a map showing the level of wildfire risk near polar bear denning areas. Marney Blunt / Global News 'Polar bears tend to be on slopes where they have trees and there's some permafrost structure and they dig in,' Petersen said. Story continues below advertisement 'And when a fire comes through it burns the peat and the trees that give that area structure, (and make) it the perfect denning habitat. So we want to look at where is the overlap between fire risk and polar bear denning.'

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy According to the province's FireView map, there is currently one smaller wildfire burning inside Wapusk National Park. There are a few other fires being monitored south of the Kaskatamagan wildlife management area, a polar bear denning habitat that runs along the Hudson Bay from the mouth of the Nelson River to the Ontario border. Petersen said the intent of the research is to create a map that can help inform wildfire fighting efforts in the future, to help protect and preserve a species that's already threatened in Manitoba. 'We're seeing more fires, they're burning hotter, and at the same time, we're getting changes in sea ice,' Petersen said. 'And it looks like the western Hudson Bay (polar bear) population that we have in Manitoba – their population was stable and now it's declining. So as those fewer bears are looking for places to den, we want those denning places to be intact.' Petersen adds it's still largely unknown what the overall impact would be if wildfires do encroach significantly into polar denning territory. Story continues below advertisement 'We don't really know what the bears are going to do if that happens,' he said. 'Some of them might be able to shift their distribution to other places, but others might just waste a lot of energy coming back to the same place, and then being unsuccessful in denning.' Justina Rayes, the president and senior scientist with Wildlife Conservation Society Canada, says the intensity of the widespread wildfires across the country is having impacts on other northern wildlife, including caribou. 'Caribou are a species that need older forests or larger expanses of older forests, particularly to calve in,' Rayes told Global News. 'So they will be affected by this kind of disturbance that's happening with this much intensity, right during a period when you've got newborn calves struggling to survive in any case.' Rayes adds it's hard to know the full extent of what's happening to wildlife caught up in the wildfires. 'People can't see it, so we have to imagine what's happening,' she said. 'And it's cumulative in nature, so while wildlife have lived with fire forever, when it's this intense, this much expansive of land being affected, then it really becomes too much, and that's what we have to be concerned about.'
