London, England (CNN) — Every four years, the World Cup produces a smorgasbord of stunning football, great goals and controversial moments that will be remembered for a long time to come.
Here CNN Sport takes a closer look at some of the more contentious incidents from the past 18 stagings of soccer’s premier tournament — events that sparked widespread debate.
(CNN) — A North Korean official has questioned South Korea’s credibility for its rhetoric and actions over the sinking of a South Korean warship in March, state-run media in North Korea reported Saturday.
(CNN) — Security forces in Jamaica plan to renew a push Monday to arrest an accused drug lord at the center of violence that has now killed 76 people, the country’s police commissioner said.

(CNN) — Like it or loathe it, musicians from 25 countries will shrug off the economic gloom shrouding Europe on Saturday, to perform in the Eurovision Song Contest — the continent’s biggest musical competition.
Since it began in Lugano, Switzerland in 1956, each participating European nation has put forward a singer or group to perform a specially-written song. Telephone votes as well as judges from each country then decide the winner.
Last year, Norwegian classically-trained violinist Alexander Rybak beat contestants from 42 countries to take the crown, earning his country the right to hosts this year’s showpiece.
(CNN) — Arab modernity. Why is it that at the beginning of the 21st century the Arab world seems stuck in time? Why are most Arabs still ruled by kings or military dictatorships? And specifically, why has the most populous Arab nation, Egypt, been governed by one man for nearly three decades?
President Hosni Mubarak, a former general, came to power in the aftermath of Anwar Sadat’s assassination in October 1981. He has ruled Egypt ever since under a state of emergency.
Last week, Mubarak’s regime extended for another two years a Draconian emergency law that permits police to detain individuals indefinitely, prohibits unauthorized assembly and severely restricts freedom of speech.
As the clock ticks down and anticipation grows for the kick-off of the World Cup in South Africa, there is a burning question that bothers many soccer fans the world over.
Which superstar will emerge as the best at the 2010 World Cup?
It is not whether the African hosts will be up to the task of holding the sporting showpiece, or if the Vuvuzela will prove the most annoying accessory in the history of football spectating. No, the poser that is pressing on the minds of passionate devotees across the planet is who will be the World Cup’s best player?
Rupert Murdoch’s venerable Times and Sunday Times newspapers launched their new-look Web sites Wednesday, as they prepare to start charging users for their content — a move which could determine the future course of the ailing newspaper industry.
The new sites — thetimes.co.uk and sundaytimes.co.uk — will replace the existing Times Online service, which incorporates content from both print titles free of charge.
According to News International, which owns the two British newspapers, the sites’ homepages will be freely available. But going beyond this point will require an online subscription of £1 ($1.43) a day, or £2 ($2.87) per week for access to both sites. This “paywall” will begin in June, it said.
Last year Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News International’s parent company News Corp., said the current free access business model favored by most content providers was flawed and contributed to a fall in newspapers’ revenues.
London, England (CNN) — New measures go into effect at midday Tuesday that will let planes fly at higher ash densities than currently permitted.

Madrid, Spain (CNN) — The United Kingdom has “no doubt” about its sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, a British government minister said Tuesday.
The response comes after Argentine President Cristina Kirchner requested new talks with Britain over the disputed islands, which lie off Argentina’s coast in the South Atlantic.
