Olympic champion and crowd favourite Soufiane El Bakkali of Moroccan will make a welcome return to the Doha meeting when he competes in the 3000m steeplechase at the Khalifa International Stadium on June 19.El Bakkali, who backed up his Tokyo 2021 Olympic title with gold in Paris 2024, is also a two-time world champion (2022 and 2023). He came agonisingly close to make it a trio of global golds at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo but eventually finished second to New Zealand’s Geordie Beamish.The 30-year-old clocked a 3000m personal best of 7.33.87 in his last outing in Doha in 2023. It kick-started a year to remember as he ran a lifetime best of 7:56.68 in the steeplechase in Rabat later the same month and went on to record an unbeaten season of five wins in steeplechase finals from May through to September.“Doha feels like my second home and it means a lot to me to compete at this meeting where I’m privileged to have such great supporters,” said the 2022 Wanda Diamond League champion.“I faced some challenges last year, and although I came away from the World Championships with a silver medal I was disappointed. The support and encouragement I have had since then gives me great motivation and strength to move forward. I continue to set big goals and I am very disciplined in my approach. In the future, my ambition is to win the Olympic gold in LA, but the one that I dream of for now is to set a new world record in the 3000m steeplechase. Doha might come too soon, but to have the opportunity to race in this event with the backing of so many Moroccans will be special.”The Doha meeting was originally due to take place at the Qatar Sports Club on May 8 as the opening meeting of the 2026 Wanda Diamond League season. Due to the conflict in the Middle East, it has been rescheduled to take place at the Khalifa International Stadium (which is temperature regulated to allow athletes to compete safely in even hotter conditions).The Doha meeting is now the seventh meeting of the 2026 Wanda Diamond League. The series comprises 15 of the most prestigious events in global track and field across four different continents and begins in Shanghai/Keqiao on 16 May (as a result of the Doha Meeting being rescheduled). It concludes with a single final across two days in Brussels (4-5 September). Related Story

South Korea's martial law scandal is set to loom large over local elections in June that will test whether opposition conservatives can rein in the power of the ruling party of President Lee Jae Myung.The June 3 contest for mayors and governors in South Korea's 16 cities and provinces is the first nationwide vote since Lee took power in a snap election last year after disgraced former president Yoon Suk-yeol, of the conservative People's Power Party (PPP), briefly imposed martial law in 2024.Yoon was sentenced to life in prison in February for masterminding an insurrection and faces at least seven other trials.Lee's Democratic Party (DP) already controls the presidency and parliament, so a strong showing in the local elections would leave the Democrats with the most political power of any single party since 2020.South Korea's right has been in disarray since the martial law bid and infighting over the issue has created splits within the PPP. The conservatives have barely a month to convince voters they are a credible alternative but analysts have predicted they are heading for a landslide defeat.Some of the right's prominent figures say the party should avoid internal conflict and try to put the Yoon scandal behind them.'In the end, when we fought among ourselves, we couldn't pay attention to the lives of the people,' PPP leader and erstwhile Yoon supporter Jang Dong-hyeok said in an interview.'Now what we need to show is how we can unite and properly keep the ruling party and the Lee Jae Myung administration in check, and thereby protect South Korea's democracy and its future.'A spokesperson for the Democrats said the vote was about judging the 'unresolved remnants of insurrection' and building competent local governments to protect 'real democracy.'The PPP currently controls 12 out of South Korea's 16 local governments but looks unlikely to hold on to the seats.Its approval rating stood at 21% in the last week of April versus the DP's at 46% and President Lee's at 64%, according to a survey by Gallup Korea.Lee's popularity has been buoyed by a chip-led stock rally and his response to the energy crisis caused by the war in the Middle East, even though conservatives accuse him of using the courts and parliament to shield himself from criminal cases.SPLIT AMONG CONSERVATIVESFormer PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, who opposed Yoon's martial law and broke ties with him, is a vocal opponent of Jang. Han was expelled from the PPP over allegations of opinion manipulation and is running for parliament as an independent in Busan's Buk-A district in a by-election to be held alongside the local elections.He is facing both PPP and DP candidates in a three-way contest.Han told Reuters in an interview that he believed the PPP is controlled by a 'small faction' more interested in pleasing Yoon loyalists than winning back voters, and that he hoped to rebuild South Korea's conservative movement and return to the party.'The people have already crossed the sea of martial law,' Han said. 'The big problem is that conservative politics still has not crossed it.'He said the PPP could not credibly attack Lee while carrying Yoon's baggage.'When we criticise them, the attack that comes back is, 'Aren't you the party that declared martial law?'' Han said. 'That weakens everything.'Jang criticised Han's campaign as self-serving and said he was open to uniting with other conservatives excluding Han, whom he said bore great responsibility for the party's troubles.Shin Yul, a professor at Myongji University, said the Busan race would test the possibility of a conservative realignment as well as Han's own prospects to run for president in the future.If Han wins, Shin said, he could send 'a clear new message' to the struggling PPP and weaken the DP's argument that conservatives should be judged as an insurrection-linked force.

British paratroopers have dropped onto Britain's most remote overseas territory, Tristan da Cunha, along with medics and medical supplies, after a case of suspected hantavirus was confirmed there.A team of six paratroopers and two military clinicians from 16 Air Assault Brigade jumped from an RAF A400M transport aircraft that flew 6,788km (4,218 miles) from RAF Brize Norton air base in Oxfordshire to Ascension Island then another 3,000km due south to Tristan da Cunha.Dropped alongside them on Saturday were oxygen supplies and other medical aid. The A400M was refuelled mid-flight by a supporting RAF Voyager. RAF A400 drops air assault paras and medical supplies into British Overseas Territory from Ascension Island to provide medical support to people. (Reuters) The operation is the first time the UK military has deployed medical personnel to provide humanitarian support via a parachute jump, the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.The supplies were primarily destined for a British man who UK health authorities say was a passenger on the cruise ship that was hit by a hantavirus outbreak and which docked at the island between April 13 and 15. The WHO said the man reported symptoms compatible with hantavirus on April 28 and that he is stable and in isolation."With oxygen supplies on the island at a critical level, an airdrop with medical personnel was the only method of getting vital care to the patient in time," the Ministry of Defence statement said.Tristan da Cunha, home to only around 200 people, is halfway between South Africa and South America. It is the world's remotest inhabited island, more than 2,400km and a six-day boat ride from St Helena, its nearest inhabited neighbour. It usually relies on a medical team of two people for its health needs, and is normally only accessible by boat as it has no airstrip.Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were previously delivered by military plane on May 7 to Ascension Island, where another British man from the cruise ship had disembarked before being medically evacuated to South Africa."The arrival of paratroopers, medical personnel and medical supplies from the sky has hopefully reassured the people of Tristan da Cunha," said Brigadier Ed Cartwright, Officer Commanding 16 Air Assault Brigade.
