When every coin countsThe phones may have stopped ringing for the 'Towards Healing Lebanon's Wounds' telethon, but the money keeps coming in, as the crisis in Lebanon elicits a massive response from the UAE. Dh54 million was raised for the cause in just ten hours. Throughout the UAE, the public continues to be outraged by the rising death toll and acts of brutality, such as the Qana massacre. An estimated 900,000 people or one fifth of Lebanon's population have been displaced, translating into a wide-scale humanitarian crisis. While some wring their hands in despair over a situation that continues to deteriorate, vast numbers of UAE residents are opting instead to actually do something.

Zimbabwe: Cheetahs Get IRB Sevens InvitationZIMBABWE sevens rugby has received a major boost with an invitation to the Dubai and George IRB Sevens in December. Zimbabwe's Zambezi Cheetahs last played in Dubai in 2003, and although they played in George last year, Dubai is their first major tournament in three years.

Our potential is increasing all the time." Hobson, who has also been helping out with the national fifteens side's preparations for the Madagascar tie, said the Sables will benefit as well from the sevens commitments. read more.

Skandia Cowes Week Day six news round-upThe Black Groups (excluding Class 0 to 3) The blustery conditions today certainly favoured the outstanding performer of Class 4 IRC, the Harry Evans chartered Alvine Jacobite who pulled into the lead straight after the start and led Jim Macgregor's Flair IV down to the first mark off the Hill Head shoreline.

However at the top of the Black Group standings going into the final two days of racing is the Class 5 IRC leader Winsome of Harry Heijst who again scored a victory today to take his tally for the regatta to five race wins. Heijst has been the class act of the fleet as he warms up for next week's RORC Round Britain and Ireland Race and has brought this well-prepared Sparkman & Stephens designed one-off to the regatta in tip-top condition with a superb crew. read more.
