    Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities.  The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault.  The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service.  Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said.  The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force.  The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas.  Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her.  Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes.  On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said.  “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.

    San Marino beat Liechtenstein to record first victory in 20 years

    San Marino made history by winning a competitive match for the first time with victory against Liechtenstein in the Nations League.

    With the victory, the world’s lowest ranked team by Fifa also ended the longest winless run in football, stretching back two decades and 140 games to when they won a friendly back in 2004 – also against Liechtenstein and by the same scoreline.

    It is only their second ever victory.

    The decisive goal on Thursday was scored by 19-year-old Nicko Sensoli, who plays in the Italian fourth tier.

    The teenager struck in the 53rd minute, lobbing goalkeeper Benjamin Buchel to spark wild celebrations among the players.

    • England thrash San Marino 10-0 to qualify for World Cup in style

    San Marino then defended resolutely to secure the historic result after many years of heaving losses.

    The minnows have lost 196 of the 206 fixtures they have contested and were thrashed 10-0 by England in a World Cup qualifier back in November 2021.

    But they have shown signs of improvement since then. In October last year they scored their first competitive goal in two years but were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Denmark in a Euro 2024 qualifier.

    And in March they drew 0-0 with Caribbean side Saint Kitts and Nevis.

    Surrounded by Italy and overlooked by the spectacular Mount Titano, San Marino has a population of just 33,000 and covers a mere 61 square kilometres – roughly half the size of Manchester.
