Valentina Petrillo, a 50-year-old Italian transgender athlete, will make history as the first trans competitor in the Paralympics, qualifying for T12 200m and 400m events in Paris.
Her participation has sparked debate, with Spanish lawyer Irene Aguiar calling it "unfair" after Petrillo outperformed Spanish athlete Melani Berges in qualifying.
While IPC president Andrew Parsons welcomes Petrillo, the decision has faced protests.
In a revealing statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin discusses Russia’s primary goal in Syria—preventing the establishment of an Islamic caliphate and eradicating terrorism.

He also hints at the absence of direct talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, instead revealing ongoing discussions with influential Syrian rebel leader Hayat Tahrir al-Sham's leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Watch the full speech as Putin outlines Russia’s strategic success in the region.
