Neymar has been stripped of the Brazil captaincy for next month’s Copa America and will be replaced by his Paris St-Germain team-mate Dani Alves. The 27-year-old forward, given the role eight months ago but under pressure after recent disciplinary issues, was informed by manager Tite on Saturday. Alves, 36, will also lead the side in friendlies against Qatar and Honduras. He has captained Brazil four times, most recently in a 1-0 win over Germany in March 2018. This month, French football authorities banned Neymar for three matches after he hit a fan following PSG’s defeat by Rennes in the Coupe de France final. He was also reportedly involved in a dressing room incident with his PSG team-mates. The Copa America takes place in Brazil from 14 June to 7 July, with the hosts taking on Bolivia, Venezuela and Peru in Group A.

A US move to put Huawei on a trade blacklist “sets a dangerous precedent” that will harm billions of consumers, the firm’s top legal officer said. Speaking at a press conference, Song Liuping said the trade ban would also “directly harm” American companies and affect jobs. Washington recently added Huawei to a list of companies that US firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence. The trade ban is part of a wider battle between the US and Huawei. Washington has moved to block the Chinese company, the world’s largest maker of telecoms equipment, on national security concerns. Huawei has repeatedly denied claims the use of its products presents security risks, and says it is independent from the Chinese government. “Politicians in the US are using the strength of an entire nation to come after a private company,” Mr Song said. He said the decision to put Huawei, which is also the world’s second largest smartphone maker, on the so-called “entity list”...

Aladdin still has the magic according to cinema-goers who turned out in their droves for the first weekend of Disney’s live-action remake. Guy Ritchie’s take on the 1992 movie brought in more than $86m (£68m) in its first three days in North America. The film, released on the US’s four-day Memorial Day weekend, is expected to earn $105m (£83m) when Monday’s ticket sales are included. This would go well beyond earlier estimates of about $80 million (£63m). How Disney found its leading Aladdin characters Disney remakes and the power of nostalgia The new version features Will Smith in the role of the blue Genie – formerly voiced by the late Robin Williams – and the Egyptian-born Canadian actor Mena Massoud as the wily charmer who pretends to be a prince to catch the attention of Jasmine, portrayed by Naomi Scott. This time last year, Disney was reeling from a disappointing opening for Solo: A Star Wars Story, but with the Genie’s help the company says it has race...

Fiat Chrysler has made a “transformative” merger proposal for French car maker Renault, the Italian firm said on Monday. The combined business would be 50% owned by Fiat shareholders and 50% by Renault stockholders. The carmaker said the merger would create a global automotive leader, with 8.7 million vehicle sales. Carmakers have faced pressure to consolidate amid major industry shifts, including towards electric vehicles. Shares in both companies rose strongly following the announcement. In a statement, Fiat Chrysler (FCA) said the planned merger would create a “world leader in the rapidly changing automotive industry with a strong position in transforming technologies, including electrification and autonomous driving”. Fiat said that if the firms’ 2018 financial results were totted up, the combined company’s annual revenues would be nearly €170bn (£149.6bn; $190.5bn), with operating profit of more than €10bn and net profit of more than €8bn.

“I drive in the bus lane because I have an electric car . It saves me 30 minutes on every journey to work.” Dagfinn Hiehe was smiling ear-to-ear as he told me his favourite thing about having an electric car. “You don’t need to queue. You can just by-pass the queue. It is a great feeling!” Dagfinn is one of the rapidly growing number of Norwegians, who have made the leap to electric – and he is loving it. Driving in the bus lane is just one of the incentives the Norwegian government is offering its citizens, in exchange for dumping their petrol or diesel and switching to electric. Like many big cities, Oslo’s roads are crowded, and saving time on the commute is hugely appealing. Another big benefit is the discount on road tolls, which you are largely exempt from in an electric vehicle. Norwegians finish work at around 4pm, so by late afternoon when I met Dagfinn, at a rapid car charging bank just outside the centre of Oslo, rush hour was in full swing. There...
