The FA Cup provided its customary shock results over the weekend, with non-league Chorley beating virus-hit Derby County and League Two Crawley Town eliminated Leeds United.

And while those clubs celebrate reaching the fourth round, the dream run for Marine, who operate in the eighth tier of English football, came to an end as a Carlos Vinicius hat-trick helped Tottenham to a comfortable 5-0 win.

Unresolved crisis

Russia and Ukraine have been locked in a bitter conflict since 2014, when Ukraine’s Kremlin-friendly president was ousted, Moscow annexed Crimea and then backed a separatist insurgency in the east.

Fighting between the Russia-backed rebels and Ukrainian forces has killed more than 14,000 people. In 2015, France and Germany helped broker a peace deal, known as the Minsk agreements, that ended large-scale hostilities but failed to bring a political settlement of the conflict.

The Kremlin has repeatedly accused Kiev of sabotaging the deal, and Ukrainian officials in recent weeks said that implementing it in full would hurt Ukraine.
