BUENOS AIRES nike air max 97 offerta , June 22 (Xinhua) -- Argentinian football legend Diego Armando Maradona will run for the presidency of scandal-hit world soccer body FIFA, media reported Monday.

 

"I'm a candidate," the outspoken retired footballer and coach told a close associate, according to Argentinian daily Clarin and other publications.

 

Maradona has been one of the harshest critics of FIFA's top executives, especially its disgraced president, the Swiss-born Joseph Blatter.

 

Blatter -- who defiantly stood for reelection in May even as several FIFA officials were indicted for bribery and money laundering, and was voted to fifth four-year term -- finally caved in to pressure air max 97 scontate , calling for extraordinary congress to elect a successor.

 

Maradona's Uruguayan cohost on a sports program that airs on Venezuelan TV network Telesur, Victor Hugo Morales, said via Twitter that he had called the ex-player and "he told me that he was going to be a candidate for the presidency of FIFA and he authorized me to announce it."

 

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro first proposed Maradona run for football's top office earlier this month.

CANBERRA, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- One of Australia's most well known entertainers, the disgraced Rolf Harris, has been stripped of his Australian honors on Monday having been convicted of sexually assaulting four girls in the United Kingdom.

 

Harris is currently serving five years and nine months behind bars after being convicted for 12 cases of assault on four girls, one of which was as young as seven or eight, between 1968 and 1986.

 

Following the verdict, which was reached eight months ago Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Nere Bianche Scarpe Saldi , Australia's governor general, Peter Cosgrove, announced that the 84-year-old will be stripped of all Australian honors.

 

"It is notified that the governor general has terminated the appointment of Officer and Member of the Order of Australia in the General Division made to Mr Rolf Harris," Cosgrove said in a statement on Monday.

 

Harris had already lost his place in the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame, into which he was inducted in 2008, while he was stripped of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Fellowship that he was awarded in 2012.

 

It is also expected that he will lose his CBE, one step below a knighthood 2017 Nike Air Max Flair Scarpe Bianche Scontate , that he was given in 2006.

He was arrested in March 2013.

 

BEIJING, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- The United States, Canada and Mexico on Tuesday wrapped up the second round of talks to update their trilateral trade pact Nike Air Max Plus TN Scarpe Nere Bianche Offerta , claiming they made progress and are striving to conclude the talks by the end this year. But experts say the road ahead will not be flat.

 

"Important progress was achieved in many disciplines," said U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo in a trilateral statement after wrapping up their five-day talks in Mexico City.

 

The lead negotiators from the three countries said the latest talks had consolidated proposals for subsequent rounds of negotiation, including the third round of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) talks slated for Sept. 23-27 in Ottawa, Canada.

 

They vowed to conclude the process towards the end of this year despite U.S. President Donald Trump's recent threat to terminate the 23-year-old trilateral trade deal, among others.

 

Both Lighthizer and Guajardo said there was progress in the areas of e-commerce, competitiveness Uomo Nike Air Max Plus TN Scarpe Nere Italia , small- and medium-size companies, and the environment.

 

However, the thornier issues, such as rules of origin and dispute resolution rules, were still pending.

 

Trump took office with a pledge to revise NAFTA, to better benefit U.S. industries and jobs, but recently announced at a rally that he was also considering withdrawing from the treaty.

 

Simon Lester Nike Air Presto Qs Offerta Scarpe Bianche Nike Presto , a trade policy analyst with Cato Institute, a Washington-D.C. based think tank, believed Trump's threat of NAFTA termination was "a negotiating tactic" and Trump was unlikely to withdraw from the deal at the current stage.

 

"In theory, you can gain leverage in any negotiation by threatening to walk out. It's not clear how much credibility Trump's threat has, though," Lester wrote in a recent analysis, noting Trump might not have the legal authority to terminate NAFTA without Congressional approval.

 

Also Uomo Nike Air Max 96 XX Scarpe Triple Nere Vendita , Mexico will have a general election in July 2018 and the U.S. congressional mid-term elections are slated for next fall.

 

Trade experts doubt NAFTA talks will be quickly finished due to the extensive agenda and contentious issues among the three countries.

 

"Because the agenda of the negotiations is so extensive, so comprehensive, it will be very difficult for the three countries to come together on agreement on this entire agenda of issues in the next few months," said Jeffrey Schott, a trade expert and senior fellow at the Washington-D.C.-based Peterson Institute for International Economics.
