Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that he does not have any problems with Cristiano Ronaldo 's decision not to cancel his birthday party after his side's 4-0 derby defeat against Atletico Madrid last weekend. The Portugal international was heavily criticised for not postponing celebrations following Madrid's thrashing at the hands of their city rivals, while some supporters protested outside the training ground after leaked images of the party circulated within social media. Ancelotti, however, does not see any reason to punish the prolific attacker or any of his team-mates who attended the party. "The party is not an issue for me. I have never judged the private lives of players and I won't start now," Ancelotti said at a press conference. "I have no doubts about the players' professionalism.

South Sudan’s cabinet postponed elections and extended President Salva Kiir’s term in office for two years, the country’s information minister said, apparently sinking a peace agreement aimed to end 14 months of war. “We have passed a resolution extending the tenure of the president and the parliament, including all elected positions,” Information Minister Michael Makuei told AFP news agency on Friday. The announcement came after the decision was taken by the government’s council of ministers to postpone elections until July 9, 2017. The decision goes against a deal struck between Kiir and rebel chief Riek Machar earlier this month, in which they agreed to set up a transitional unity government in the bitterly divided nation to run for 30 months from July 9. Makeui said the term extension “would give us a chance to negotiate without pressure”.
