Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made his 18-year-old son, Akhmat Kadyrov, president of Russian Premier League football club Akhmat Grozny, a few days after also appointing him sports minister of the Russian republic.

Washington (AFP) - The freight company responsible for a large toxical chemical spill in Ohio last year has reached a $310 million settlement with US authorities, officials said Thursday.
