Police ‘arrest’ Messi Iranian lookalike

Iranian student Reza Parastesh looks so
much like his sporting hero Lionel Messi
that it almost landed him in jail for
disrupting public order this week, AFP
reports.

So many people came out to take selfies
with Parastesh in the western city of
Hamedan over the weekend that police
rushed him into a station and impounded
his car to stop the chaos and clear traffic.

The resemblance is so uncanny that
Eurosport UK reportedly used his photo by
accident on Twitter recently when talking
about the real Messi.

The furore began a few months ago when
Parastesh’ s football - mad father pressured
the 25-year -old into posing in a number 10
Barcelona jersey and sending the pictures
to a sports website .

“I sent them one night and by the morning
they had called me and said I should come
in quickly for an interview , ” he told AFP.
Despite his early reluctance , Parastesh soon
grew into his new role , cutting his hair like
Messi and often donning the Barca jersey
when he goes out .

It has paid off — he is fully booked with
media interviews and has even landed
modelling contracts .
“Now people really see me as the Iranian
Messi and want me to mimic everything he
does. When I show up somewhere, people
are really shocked, ” he said .

UK sanctions Oyakhilome’s TV over 5G/COVID-19 claims

The Office of Communications, the regulatory authority for the broadcasting and telecommunications industries in the United Kingdom, has sanctioned Loveworld Limited, operators of LoveWorld, a religious cable channel, for airing “unsubstantiated claims linking the pandemic to 5G technology”. The television network owned by the Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, was also penalised for feeding viewers with the claim that coronavirus is a ‘global cover-up’. In a statement on Monday published on its website, Ofcom stated that the caution followed an investigation into the matter. The statement read in part, “Our investigation found that a report on Loveworld News included unsubstantiated claims that 5G was the cause of the pandemic, and that this was the subject of a ‘global cover-up’. “Another report during the programme suggested hydroxychloroquine as a ‘cure’ for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically u...

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...
