June 25 (Reuters) - Six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez on Sunday said he will miss the Dutch Grand Prix after failing to recover from injuries suffered at last weekend's German Grand Prix. The 30-year-old Spaniard pulled out of the German Grand Prix after crashing five times before the race at the Sachsenring - a track where he has won eight times in his MotoGP career. The Honda driver has yet to finish a race this season and languishes in 19th place in the standings, in a season so far dominated by Ducati. "I have not arrived at Assen (race track) at 100% physically. In addition to the sprain and the finger fracture, there is a fractured rib that has been causing me a lot of pain," Marquez said in a statement.

SOFIA, April 4 (Reuters) - The runner-up in Bulgaria's parliamentary elections will not form a coalition with the winning GERB party, the leader of We Continue the Change (PP) said on Tuesday, signalling a likely continuation of the country's political deadlock. "The National Council of the party has decided that We Continue the Change will not support a Cabinet with... the participation of the political party GERB," Assen Vassilev, co-leader of PP told reporters. "The National Council mandates the Executive Council to send representatives to hold policy talks with all parliamentary parties." Preliminary results show GERB won 26.5% of the vote, while PP received 24.6%.

[1/2] Pfizer company logo is seen at a Pfizer office in Puurs, Belgium, December 2, 2022. Under the revised terms, Pfizer is asking for payment for doses ordered that will never be manufactured, the FT report said. Medzhidiev added that he believed other EU members also would not support the proposed deal in its current form. "The proposed Pfizer amendment to the Pfizer agreement is clearly unacceptable to us given the critical situation of vaccine oversupply in Bulgaria and unjustified financial burden for products destined for destruction," Medzhidiev said. The discussions included the possibility that Pfizer would reduce the up to 500 million COVID-19 vaccine doses the EU has committed to buy this year in return for a higher price.
