Weather update for France v USA match - Rugby World Cup 2019 Posted: 29 Sep 2019 08:07 PM PDT Presented By World Rugby and Japan Rugby 2019 statement says Pool C match will be played in Fukuoka on Wednesday at 16:45 JST as scheduled. ![]() TOKYO, 30 Sep - World Rugby and the Japan Rugby 2019 Organising Committee have confirmed that the France v USA match will be played in Fukuoka on 2 October at 16:45 JST as scheduled. The decision has been taken following consultation with our weather information experts and the Japan Meteorological Agency, which confirms that Typhoon Mitag is lessening in strength, tracking further westward away from Japan's coastline and therefore will not impact the match. The decision was taken with the full support of the host city Fukuoka and the two teams. Our primary objective is to always enable a match to be played as scheduled in the best interest of teams, fans and the integrity of the tournament. In line with robust tournament contingency plans, had the match not been able to be played at Fukuoka, an alternative venue would have been used. While there is every indication that Typhoon Mitag will reduce in strength and have little or no impact on the tournament, we will continue to closely monitor the situation in partnership with our weather information experts, local authorities, transport providers and the teams, and will provide further updates as required. Fans are advised to monitor official Rugby World Cup channels for any updates. RNS sw |
Posted: 29 Sep 2019 06:48 PM PDT ![]() The war plan, codenamed Theatre Iran Near Term (TIRANNT), is believed to be the blueprint for a strike paving the way to crush the country's power base within 24 hours. A war on Iran has been on the Pentagon's drawing board for more than ten years. The leaked plans have reemerged amid rising fears of an imminent conflict after Tehran's missile and drone strike on Saudi Arabian oil plants. Dr Dan Plesch and Martin Butcher examined the blueprint on how the US attack would unfold. Their study concluded: "The US has made military preparations to destroy Iran's weapons of mass destruction, nuclear energy, regime, armed forces, state apparatus and economic infrastructure within days if not hours. "Any attack is likely to be on a massive multi-front scale but avoiding a ground invasion." The blueprint shows Iran's nuclear plants and facilities would likely be destroyed first. While conventional weapons would be used instead of nukes, the attack would still crush Iran's military strength in little more than a day. Under TIRANNT, cruise missiles would be unleashed from ships in the Gulf and bombs dropped from B52 and B2 warplanes. More than 10,000 targets would be battered according to TIRANNT plans. Planes could fly from the British territory of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom. JUST IN: Trump's chances of winning next election boosted by impeachment bid The war plan also involves NATO and Israeli forces. The plan was leaked by William Arkin, a former US intelligence analyst, in 2007. The document does not mention the use of cyber-attacks on power stations and government offices, it could be used alongside bombs and missiles in a bid to bring the country to its knees. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told NBC the US already started a cyber-war with his country. The Iranian official cited Stuxnet, a computer virus widely believed to be a joint creation between the US and Israel. It is blamed for disrupting thousands of Iranian centrifuges in an effort to damage its nuclear program. Mr Zarif said: "The United States started that cyberwar, with attacking our nuclear facilities in a very dangerous, irresponsible way that could've killed millions of people." He added: "So there is a cyberwar, and Iran is engaged in that cyberwar. "But the United any war that the United States starts, it won't be able to finish." |
