Chelsea finalizes Torres signing

Fernando Torres was sold from Liverpool to Chelsea on Monday for a British record transfer fee, said to be 50 million pounds ($79.5 million).

Monday's deal is soccer's third-most expensive transfer, exceeded by Real Madrid's 2009 purchases of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for 80 million pounds ($131 million) and Kaka from AC Milan for 65 million euros ($92 million). It will be a similar figure to that received byInter Milan when the Italian side team sold Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona the same year, a deal that sent Samuel Eto'o to Inter.

Bado una ‘bifu’ na mpenzi wako wa zamani? Unapoteza muda

Mungu ametuumba tofauti, hivyo hulka yako hawezi kuwa nayo mwenzako. Ni vizuri kujielewa na kuwatambua wengine. Mada hii ina suluhisho la msingi.

Watu wanaingia kwenye mapenzi na baadaye wanatengana. Wapo wanaobaki na amani, lakini wengine wanaendelea kuishi katikati ya chuki.

Akizungumza nyumbani kwake jana mjini hapa, Kisabwiti alisema amefikia uamuzi huo baada ya kutambua kwamba meya ni mtu muhimu sana katika kufanya kazi kwa ufanisi na anahitaji muda wa kutosha ili ajifunze.

Maandamano yaendelea Misri

Maandamano dhidi ya serikali, yameendelea kwa siku ya tano mfululizo mjini Cairo.

Amri ya kutotoka nje ilitangazwa jana usiku katika miji ya Cairo, Alexandria na Suez, baada ya mapambano makali baina ya polisi na waandamanaji.

Waandamanaji mjini Cairo wanataka kiongozi Hosni Mubarak kung'atuka

Hata hivyo, maandamano yameendelea, na jeshi linashika zamu barabarani.

Waandamanaji hasa wamekuwa wakipiga kelele kuwa serikali sio halali, na pia rais Mubarak.

Ni wazi kuwa ahadi aliyotoa rais, kubadili baraza lake la mawaziri na kuleta mabadiliko, hayatoshelezi wananchi.

Wanataraji kuwa, wanaweza kumtoa kiongozi, kama ilivyotokea Tunisia.

OBAMA SPEAKS TO YOUTH THROUGH RUSSELL SIMMONS

AP I Getty Images

President Obama has taken to the road, airwaves and media to spread his optimistic message about America's future that served as the basis for his State of the Union address earlier this week. Notably, one of his core constituencies is the hip-hop generation that was so vocal in getting him elected. He reached out to those voters this week by placing an open statement on the Russell Simmons-run MySpace and Global Grind.

"I promise that every decision I make in the years ahead will be made with you in mind," Obama wrote before stating that his health care overhaul, plans to end wars and update to student loans were specifically for the younger generation. "Each of you represents our hope for this country. Your generation will be the one leading America into the future. And if we do our part, I know you'll make us proud."

Even Simmons himself was floored that Obama reached out and sent him a personal statement to distribute. He says he relates to the President's message of optimism and importance of future generations to carry America's torch into the future.

"Nothing makes me prouder than what I received late last night from a hero of mine, the president of the United States, Barack Obama, and I am overjoyed to deliver his exclusive message to young people of this great nation," wrote Simmons. "As we move forward, let us move forward together as one."
