The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has decided to seek parliamentary immunity from prosecution over wÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» ºê·¹ÀÎ=¹ÙµðÇÁ·£µå wÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» ºê·¹ÀÎ+wź»ê¼ö±â·»Å» ·¹Æ®·ÎÇÕ¸®ÀûÀΰ÷ corruption charges.
The move would likely delay a trial until after fresh elections next March.
Mr Netanyahu, who denies wrongdoing, would Å¥¹ÖS PLUS ½ºÅĵå Á¤¼ö±â·»Å»=Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö Å¥¹ÖS PLUS ½ºÅÄµå ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» ºí·¢ÈǸ¢ÇѰ÷ need the support of more than half of MPs for immunity to be granted.
Why did he ask for immunity?
Mr Netanyahu - who is the country's longest serving leader - is alleged to have accepted gifts from wealthy businessmen and dispensed ¿õÁøÄÚ¿þÀÌ ½Ã·ç Á÷¼ö Á¤¼ö±â=¿õÁøÄÚ¿þÀÌ ½Ã·ç Á÷¼ö Á¤¼ö±â·»Å» ½Ç¹ö / CHP-7300RÇÕ¸®ÀûÀΰ÷ favours to try to get more positive press coverage.
He made the request for immunity in a televised speech just four hours before the deadline for an application was to expire.
He said it "would be in line with the law... with the goal of continuing to serve you, for the future of Israel".
A trial cannot begin once an immunity ½ºÅÄµå ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å»=Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö Å¥¹ÖS PLUS ½ºÅÄµå ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» ½Ç¹öÇÕ¸®ÀûÀΰ÷ request is made and the Israeli parliament, the Knesset - which has been dissolved ahead of fresh elections - is unlikely to rule on the request before then.
Under Israeli law, members of the Knesset do not receive automatic immunity from prosecution, but can request it when relevant.

Bury became the ·¹Çø®Ä«·¹Çø®Ä«=·¹Çø®Ä«·¹Çø®Ä« first club to be expelled from the Football League since 1992 when they failed to provide proof of funds, their demise a stark symbol of mounting concerns over the sustainability of football finances.
But in terms of resonance, perhaps one ¿õÁøÄÚ¿þÀÌ ½Ã·ç Á÷¼ö=¿õÁøÄÚ¿þÀÌ ½Ã·ç Á÷¼ö Á¤¼ö±â·»Å» ½Ç¹ö / CP-7300R¸Å¿ìÁÁÀ½ sports scandal this decade stands out.
Australian cricket's ball-tampering 'sandpaper plot' in ³²¼º¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«=³²¼º¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä« 2018 led to a series of teary resignations in front of the cameras, long bans and an unprecedented ÅÍÄ¡Á¤¼ö±â·»Å»=´ë¸²ÄÉ¾î Æú¶ó ÅÍÄ¡ Á¤¼ö±â·»Å»¸Å¿ìÁÁÀ½ bout of soul-searching - by both the country, which suddenly faced an identity crisis, and a sport that feared its fabled values had been abandoned in favour of a win-at-all-costs culture.
Technology
The decade has seen rapid changes in technology that have affected sports in ways ·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è»çÀÌÆ®=·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è»çÀÌÆ® few predicted 10 years ago.
Controversy over whether advancements in sports equipment unfairly enhance athletes' performances is nothing new. But the debate has been reignited by mounting concern over the latest version of Nike's carbon-fibre plated Vaporfly running shoes - reinforced by Eliud Kipchoge's historic sub-two hour marathon while wearing them - and then Brigid Kosgei's obliteration of the women's marathon record in a similar pair the following day.
Another sporting ·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º°¡¹æ=·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º°¡¹æ mega-story the past decade will always be remembered for was Fifa's corruption scandal.
Allegations of skulduggery had hung around world football's governing body for years. But it was only in the 2010s that the people at the heart of the organisation faced accusations amid a crisis that shook Fifa to its core.
Nine years after it stunned the world by awarding the right to ¸íǰÆÐµù·¹Çø®Ä«=¸íǰÆÐµù·¹Çø®Ä« host its flagship event to the tiny desert-state of Qatar, Fifa is still trying to recover from allegations surrounding how exactly the country won the vote, the human cost of building the infrastructure for the event, and the disruption a first winter World Cup will cause.
Five years after that vote came those dramatic dawn police raids with numerous Fifa officials arrested in Zurich on corruption charges amid a sprawling FBI investigation into tens of millions of dollars' worth of bribes connected to marketing and TV contracts in the Americas.
And with Semenya's appeal yet to be heard in the Swiss courts, one of the most important and È«Äá·¹Çø®Ä«¹Ì·¯±Þ=·¹Çø®Ä«¹Ì·¯±Þ ·¹Çø®Ä«·¹Çø®Ä« ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß contentious sports stories of the decade still has some way to run.
Racism
Buoyed by the success of a diverse, multiracial Team GB, the hope was that À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼DZ¸¸Å´ëÇà À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ the London 2012 Games - the biggest sporting event ever hosted in Britain - would act as a catalyst for a more tolerant and progressive sporting decade.
In 2019, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) ruled ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® in favour of a hugely controversial IAAF rule that forced the South African runner - and other athletes with differences in sexual development (DSD) - to take hormone-limiting drugs if she wanted to compete in the middle-distance events she had dominated for years. After a long legal battle, Semenya pulled out of the World Championships.
For Semenya's supporters, the eligibility regulation was an appalling breach of human rights and a ³ÃÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å»=¿õÁøÄÚ¿þÀÌ ³ÃÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» Á¦ºù±â°â¿ë ½Ç¹ö / CPI-6500LÃÖ°í discriminatory act of sexism and racism designed to target her. For others, it was a necessary and proportionate step to protect women's sport and fair competition.
The 2010s have provided ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇÎ ·¹Çø®Ä«Ä¿½ºÅÒ±Þ ·¹Çø®Ä«ÀÏ´ëÀÏ=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇÎ ·¹Çø®Ä«Ä¿½ºÅÒ±Þ ·¹Çø®Ä«ÀÏ´ëÀÏ many other sporting scandals involving allegations of cheating, deceit or rule breaking.
On the one hand, À̹ÌÅ×À̼dz²¼º½Å¹ß=À̹ÌÅ×À̼dz²¼º½Å¹ß the demise of the disgraced American cyclist and cancer survivor in late 2012 was indicative of a sport in the grip of a doping culture.
From Tiger Woods' ¸íǰ±¸¸Å´ëÇà=¸íǰ±¸¸Å´ëÇà televised apology for serial philandering in early 2010 to Oscar Pistorius' ³²ÀÚ·¹ÇÃ=³²ÀÚ·¹Çà murder conviction six years later, the 2010s bore witness to some staggering falls from grace. But the sense was that Armstrong's would shift the landscape like no other because his offending directly impacted his sport.
But any hope that the suspicion surrounding cycling ·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è»çÀÌÆ®=·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è»çÀÌÆ® would lift as a legacy of Armstrong's downfall soon faded.

But the sense ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® is that with football reflecting a society that has become more divided and polarised since the Brexit vote in 2016, the scourge of abuse È«Äá¸íǰ½Ã°è=È«Äá¸íǰ½Ã°è by those attending matches has returned in the last two years, and is getting worse, shattering the widely-held assumption at the end of the last decade that such racism was no longer a major issue.
This trend has been mirrored abroad where the abuse of England's players in Bulgaria felt like a watershed moment in sport's long battle with discrimination.
Some blame the rise of far-right political parties and nationalism across Europe, and the sanctions ·¹Çø®Ä«¸íǰ=·¹Çø®Ä«¸íǰ handed out by football authorities, while others want social media companies to ûȣ À̰ú¼ö Á¤¼ö±â·»Å»=ûȣ³ªÀ̽º ûȣ À̰ú¼ö ³Ã³ÃÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» 450ÂøÇѰ÷ do more to curb racist behaviour on their platforms. But if there is a positive to come out of all this, it is a new era of athlete activism.
By making a stand against racism, Raheem Sterling reminded us that this ·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼ºÀÇ·ù=·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼ºÀÇ·ù was the decade when some of the world's most famous athletes stopped being afraid of expressing an opinion on politics and society for fear of upsetting sponsors or fans, and harnessed social media and their vast influence to try to make a difference.

But in the three-and-a-half years that have À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǽðè=À̹ÌÅ×ÀÌ¼Ç À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǽðè À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǹ̷¯±Þ passed since Rio 2016, a series of bullying and discrimination scandals embroiling some of the country's best-funded high-performance programmes has shown the risks of such an approach.
There has been the fear that in many cases, winning came at the expense of welfare ³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® and duty of care. The case of former sprint cyclist Jess Varnish - who claimed she had been the victim of discrimination when dropped from Team GB's Olympic squad - was a defining moment.
Until 2017 little thought was given to safeguarding in the mainstream media. But then - ·¹Çø®Ä«¹Ì·¯±Þ=·¹Çø®Ä«¹Ì·¯±Þ thanks to the courage of whistle-blowers like former Crewe player Andy Woodward - football's appalling non-recent child sex abuse scandal was finally revealed.

For decades, athletes had been told to 'stick to sports'. In the ¸íǰÆÐµù·¹Çø®Ä«=¸íǰÆÐµù·¹Çø®Ä« 2010s they finally found their voice.
Athlete welfare
At the turn of the last decade, the only aspect Çö´ë »ì±Õ ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å»=Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö Å¥¹ÖS Ç÷¯½º »ì±Õ ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» ½ºÅĵåÇü±Â±Â of Britain's elite sporting culture that seemed to matter was performance.
Record success at successive Olympics and Paralympics after decades of disappointment secured the country's status as a sporting powerhouse, and appeared to vindicate the 'no-compromise' strategy of all-powerful funding agency UK Sport, the body tasked with turning lottery money into medals.
