France's head coach Didier Deschamps and France's forward Kylian Mbappe shake hands after losing the World Cup third-place match against England at the Miami Stadium in Miami on July 18, 2026. (AFP) Didier Deschamps took responsibility for France's "unacceptable" first-half collapse in a 6-4 defeat by England on Saturday as his extraordinary 14-year reign as national team coach ended in painful fashion.France trailed 4-0 at halftime in the World Cup third-place playoff before mounting a spirited recovery, but their late rally was not enough to prevent Deschamps' 185th and final match in charge from ending in a loss."It is a defeat, but we were 4-0 down. We produced an unacceptable first half," Deschamps told reporters."There was a reaction, with the things we know how to do well. We had two chances to make it 4-4, but we pushed forward a little more."That is what we know how to do, but we didn't do it. It is my fault because I must not have done what was needed in the first half."Deschamps said the performance after the break at least restored pride, though he admitted the sporting disappointment of France's tournament remained considerable after they had arrived in North America bidding to win a third world title."It would have been better to finish third," he said. "We came here with a lot of ambition. We managed to do quite a few positive things."We failed in our match against Spain and they knew how to perform against us. This is a group with footballing quality. There was enough talent to get results," Deschamps added."On a human level, it was a beautiful adventure. Eight weeks, it was beautiful." DOMINANT FORCEFrance's 2-0 semi-final defeat by Spain ended their hopes of reaching a third successive World Cup final before England inflicted another setback on the coach who had turned Les Bleus into one of world football's dominant forces."The disappointment is there on a sporting level," Deschamps said. "We had the opportunity to create emotions for tens of millions of French people. It is the World Cup, there is nothing more beautiful."The French Football Federation paid a glowing tribute to Deschamps, who leaves after 185 matches and 120 victories in charge."Didier Deschamps embodied high standards, rigour, a sense of the collective and love for the blue shirt," the FFF said in a statement."Under his leadership, for 14 years, the France team regained credibility, respect and affection while remaining at the highest level in the world."Deschamps led France to the 2018 World Cup title and 2021 Nations League crown as well as the Euro 2016 and 2022 World Cup finals.The FFF said his quarter-century of service to the national team, stretching from his years as captain to his time as coach, had left an "indelible mark"."Few will have given as much to the blue shirt, as a player and then as coach," it said.Deschamps captained France to their first World Cup triumph in 1998 and won the European Championship two years later before becoming only the third man to win the World Cup as both player and coach when Les Bleus triumphed in Russia in 2018.His final match provided none of the controlled, disciplined football that came to define much of his tenure, but the chaotic defeat did little to diminish a legacy that transformed France into one of the most consistent teams of the modern era."Thank you, Didier," the FFF said.

This handout picture released by Peru's defence ministry shows collapsed houses on the outskirts of Huancayo, about 300km east of Lima, following a 5.1 magnitude quake. AFP At least five people were killed and 21 injured after two earthquakes struck a mountainous region of Peru, the country's civil defence chief said Sunday.The quakes, measuring magnitudes 5.1 and 3.7, hit on Saturday night in Chupaca province in the Junín region, about 300km (186 miles) east of Lima, according to Peru's National Seismological Centre in a post on X.The first quake struck at a depth of 24km (15 miles) and the second at 18km, the centre said.The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre earlier reported that the first earthquake had a magnitude of 5.6."So far, we have confirmed five deaths and 21 injuries," Luis Vasquez, head of Peru's National Civil Defence Institute, told local radio station Exitosa.Because the epicentre was at a shallow depth and many houses in that area are made of adobe or a wood, cane and mud blend called "quincha", some towns suffered significant damage, said Vasquez.He added that preliminary reports showed about 48 homes had been destroyed and another 18 damaged, affecting around 300 people who are being provided with tents."The earthquake destroyed our home. Here there are many adobe houses that collapsed," an unnamed resident of the town of Chongos Bajo told the N television network.Vasquez said emergency crews and firefighters arrived in the affected areas early Sunday to clear debris amid concerns that additional victims could be trapped.Peru lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a zone that accounts for roughly 85% of the world's seismic activity.Seismologists say Peru experiences at least 400 earthquakes per year, three-quarters of which are so weak people do not feel them.

A firefighting helicopter drops water over the site of a Russian missile strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv region, Sunday. (Reuters) Russia battered Ukraine's capital Kyiv overnight with one of its biggest ballistic missile barrages of the war, killing at least one person and wounding 16 others, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday.A series of powerful explosions thundered across the darkened city in an attack that involved 41 missiles of various types, the air force said, ravaging buildings across several districts and sparking fires.Residential buildings, warehouses, a supermarket and a dormitory were among the structures damaged, said Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, adding that three people were in a serious condition.Separately Sunday, four people were killed and 19 wounded in a strike on a postal depot outside the northeastern city of Kharkiv near the Russian border, the regional governor said.At one location in western Kyiv, emergency workers picked through smouldering debris and doused bombed-out apartments.A resident who identified himself as Vlad told Reuters he had been inside his apartment when a blast tore off his balcony door, which smashed him in the head."My grandmother lives with me, and she can't walk. How could I run away and leave her behind?" he said.Closer to the city centre, the strikes damaged a frequently targeted metro station and destroyed an underground pedestrian passage nearby, leaving a pile of rubble.Sunday evening, rescuers in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia were digging for survivors after Russian bombs struck residential buildings there, authorities said, killing at least two people and wounding 14.CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF AIR DEFENCESRussian forces have stepped up ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv and other cities in recent weeks as Ukraine struggles with a critical shortage of US-designed air defences.Kyiv's military said it had shot down 18 missiles in Sunday's attack, which was aimed primarily at the Ukrainian capital. It added that 108 out of 125 drones had also been downed.Last week, Zelensky said the US and Ukraine have reached a political agreement on licences to make Patriot interceptor missiles. He added that he hoped production could begin by the end of the year.But the mounting Russian attacks in the fifth year of Moscow's full-scale war are heaping pressure on Kyiv's foreign partners to accelerate supply of anti-ballistic defences."Protection against ballistic missiles is our constant and top priority right now," Zelensky said on X Sunday. "Interceptors are needed every day."'KYIV WILL FLOURISH'Later Sunday, workers cleared rubble from around the damaged Kyiv metro station and caved-in underpass as passersby looked on, seemingly unfazed.Fruit vendors resumed business as usual in their makeshift stalls as an excavator poured debris into a dump truck in the background."Kyiv will flourish," said Iryna Lomeyko, 68, hinting at the stubborn normality of a neighbourhood that has been heavily damaged by repeated Russian strikes."Those idiots destroy everything, but we'll repair it and build anew," she added. "Everything will be alright." Related Story

People participate in a protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York. AFP In the wake of multiple fatal shootings involving US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, the agency will require its officers to record vehicle stops with at least one body camera, Trump administration border czar Tom Homan said Sunday."They exonerate more law enforcement than they convict, and I want officers to wear body cameras because I want the American people to see what the officers saw when they took that action,” he said on the Fox & Friends Weekend programme.Homan’s comments come after federal immigration agents fatally shot two men six days apart during traffic stops in Texas and Maine earlier this month.There is no body-camera footage from ICE agents involved in those incidents.In a separate interview on CBS's Face the Nation show, Homan said money for the cameras was held up during the partial government shutdown earlier this year."The cameras have been purchased right now," Homan said. "They're training the trainer in deploying the cameras nationwide."The agency's tactics came under renewed public scrutiny in recent days after an ICE officer on July 13 killed a driver from Colombia in the coastal Maine town of Biddeford, about 15 miles (24km) south of Portland.Six days earlier, another ICE officer in Houston fatally shot a Mexican national.Homan said last week that the agency would temporarily suspend most vehicle stops around the country to review procedures.Within 24 hours of Homan’s comments, US President Donald Trump directed federal immigration agents to resume them.The back-to-back shootings sparked protests in Maine, Houston and Boston and raised questions over ICE agents' lack of body cameras.The ICE launched a body-camera pilot programme in 2024 and deployed cameras to officers in five cities: Baltimore, Buffalo, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.The Trump administration moved last year to slow-walk the programme, urging Congress to cut funding by 75%, Reuters reported in January.In February, after the killing of two US citizens during an immigration crackdown in Minnesota, then US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief Kristi Noem said the body camera programme would be rolled out to ICE agents nationwide "as funding is available”.At least seven people have been shot dead during federal immigration enforcement operations since January 2025, when Trump launched mass deportations after returning to office following campaign promises of an immigration crackdown.
