CNN —New Zealand’s former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was moved to tears by the country’s women’s soccer team at this year’s World Cup. Ardern told CNN’s Amanda Davies Monday that she cried while watching the opening match, where tournament co-hosts New Zealand beat Norway, securing the team’s first ever World Cup win. That July 20 game was a pivotal moment for the Football Ferns, as New Zealand’s women’s soccer team are known. Ardern, who was involved in bringing the tournament to New Zealand while Prime Minister, said she was “incredibly proud” to see it come to fruition. Ardern’s comments came at the final event for “Equalize,” a discussion series on equity for women hosted in New Zealand during the World Cup.

At the 2019 World Cup in France, the United States thoroughly demolished Thailand 13-0. "Going into this World Cup the game has just grown and a lot of federations have grown as well," said U.S. defender Naomi Girma. Only 40% identified themselves as a professional footballer, although all will receive $30,000 direct from FIFA for playing in the World Cup. "We know we are not going to have any easy game in the World Cup," she said. They made the World Cup."

"Honestly it means the world," she told reporters. "Obviously, you know, we had such amazing support tonight, and I think that's what really made a difference for us." New Zealand's build up to the World Cup had been far from perfect, enduring a 10-match winless streak before beating Vietnam in a friendly earlier this month. New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins visited the squad in the locker room to offer his congratulations, coach Jitka Klimkova told reporters.

June 22 (Reuters) - Midfielder Annalie Longo is in a race to recover from a serious knee injury and make New Zealand's Women's World Cup squad, but will gladly endure pain to play in front of home fans if selectors back her. The 31-year-old tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial ligaments in her left knee against Mexico last September but has returned to training with Jitka Klimkova's Football Ferns to push for a fourth World Cup appearance. "For me it's kind of a do-or-die, risk-reward thing," she told Reuters from training. "I think just the nature of the time-frame there is going to be a bit of uncomfortable pain in the knee but it's all to play at a home World Cup. Drawn in Group A, New Zealand will also play Philippines and Switzerland in the preliminaries, looking for their first ever win at a World Cup and to fulfil their goal of making the knock-out phase.

MELBOURNE, April 12 (Reuters) - Women's World Cup co-hosts New Zealand suffered another blow to their confidence in the leadup to the tournament on Tuesday with a 3-0 defeat to Nigeria in a friendly and the loss of veteran midfielder Betsy Hassett to a suspected broken rib. The defeat in Antalya, Turkey extended the Football Ferns' winless run to 10 matches and heaps further pressure on embattled coach Jitka Klimková. Hassett's injury added salt to 25th-ranked New Zealand's wounds, the midfielder forced from the field after 70 minutes after clashing with Oparanozie. New Zealand, who co-host the Women's World Cup with Australia in July and August, have not won since handing the Philippines a 2-1 defeat in September. They meet Norway, Philippines and Switzerland in Group A at the World Cup.
Folosirea acestor substanţe chimice, nocive pentru sănătate, este o practică extinsă, potrivit rezultatelor acestui studiu publicat joi şi care a arătat că peste 70 % din probele recoltate şi studiate prezentau o expunere intenţionată la PFAS. PFAS sunt compuşi chimici organofluorici sintetici, care au atomi multipli de fluor ataşaţi la un lanţ alchilic. "Substanţele PFAS se folosesc pe scară largă în ambalajele alimentare şi în recipientele de unică folosinţă din Europa", notează autorii acestui studiu, la care a participat Alianţa pentru Sănătate şi Mediu şi alte şapte organizaţii non-profit dedicate problemelor mediului înconjurător şi sănătăţii.Au fost studiate ambalaje şi recipiente din restaurante precum McDonalds, KFC, Subway şi Dunkin Donuts, precum şi de la mai multe puncte de servire rapidă din supermarketuri din şase ţări europene (Republica Cehă, Danemarca, Franţa, Germania, Olanda şi Marea Britanie).Rezultatele au relevat suspiciunea că 38 dintre cele 99 de mostre (38%) de asftel de ambalaje folosite în localurile fast-food au fost tratate cu produse PFAS pentru a se obţine rezistenţa la ulei.De asemenea, 32 dintre cele 42 de mostre selectate pentru analiza chimică (76%) au demonstrat o expunere intenţionată la PFAS, deşi s-au găsit urme ale acestor substanţe şi în mostrele selectate pentru analize şi care nu fuseseră tratate în mod intenţionat.Concluziile studiului arată că 99% din fluorul organic prezent în acest mostre selectate nu poate fi captat pentru o analiză specifică de laborator, ceea ce înseamnă că este imposibilă identificarea cu certitudine a compuşilor PFAS prezenţi.Jitka Strakova, autoarea principală a studiului, cercetătoare la ONG ceh Arnika, a declarat că este "momentul ca Uniunea Europeană să acţioneze şi să interzică imediat şi permanent toate tipurile de PFAS din recipientele alimentare pentru a proteja consumatorii".PFAS au fost supranumite "substanţe chimice veşnice", pentru că sunt extrem de persistente în natură, având un timp îndelungat de descompunere şi contaminând apa potabilă, solul şi aerul.Studiile ştiinţifice au relevat totodată că o serie de PFAS au efecte grave pentru sănătate, precum dezvoltarea cancerului, provoacă un impact nociv asupra sistemului imunitar, reproductiv şi hormonal, determinând şi un răspuns mai redus la vaccinuri.În Danemarca, unde utilizarea acestor substanţe în ambalaje pentru alimente este interzisă din iulie 2020, niciuna dintre pungile pentru cartofi prăjiţi de la McDonald's nu a prezentat o expunere la PFAS.Totuşi, au fost găsite recipiente care au fost tratate în mod intenţionat cu PFAS la aceleaşi articole din Republica Cehă şi Marea Britanie, unde legislaţia naţională nu protejează consumatorii faţă de expunerea la aceste substanţe chimice nocive.
