Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale converted from the spot in each half, either side of a Roger Marti strike, to move Madrid back to within nine points of league leaders Barcelona. Benzema opened the scoring after referee Ignacio Iglesias Villanueva penalised Enis Bardhi for blocking a Luka Modric cross with a raised arm, but only after checking the incident on the pitch-side VAR screen. Villanueva awarded a second penalty after Casemiro went to ground following a wild attempted clearance by Cheick Doukoure, although there appeared to be minimal contact between the players....

Hazard on best ever run The Potters fell behind to Glenn Whelan’s second-half own goal, before Bojan Krcic took advantage of an Adrian blunder to rescue a point. The point lifts Stoke to 11th in the Premier League table, further away from the relegation zone where it spent time earlier in the season with no wins from its opening seven league games. Hughes said that was a false position and that his side are back playing attractive football....

CONTRERAS: Where do you think Saddam Hussein is hiding right now? MARTINEZ: In a big city. It could well be Baghdad. I doubt he’s in a small town because he would be more easily detected. Why’s that? When Jose Rodriguez Gacha, the other head of the Medellin cartel, was hunted down and killed [in 1989], Pablo Escobar said it was because Gacha had left his native region and gone to an area of [Colombia’s Pacific] coast where it would be very difficult to go unnoticed....

The U.N. Human Rights Office cited “persistent allegations of obstruction and lack of cooperation” from the Catholic Church. The experts said in an April 7 letter made public on Monday that the church demonstrated a pattern of behavior “to protect alleged abusers, cover up crimes, obstruct accountability of alleged abusers, and evade reparations due to victims.” The experts also alleged bids were made by select church members to undermine attempts to prosecute child sex offenders in national legislatures....

It turned out to be an easy day for Humpy as she played out a chanceless draw with black pieces. If her opening choice was any indication, Humpy had reasons to be pleased with the outcome as it came without much sweat. The Petroff defense holds a solid reputation and Zawadzka went for one of the fashionable lines that netted no advantage. A couple of minor pieces changed hands early and once the two rooks got traded on the only open file, the players knew there was nothing left to play for....
