a man has been charged with stabbing his girlfriend in the backside with a pitchfork . antonio nuñez , 59 , was said to be arguing with the woman , who has not been named , at his home in san antonio , texas , on monday . a group of u.s. senators has written to football 's world governing body fifa , calling for russia to be removed as host of the 2018 world cup because of its role in the ukraine crisis and occupation of crimea . in a letter dated tuesday and released on wednesday , the 13 democratic and republican u.s. lawmakers said they ` strongly encourage ' fifa to move the global competition . ` allowing russia to host the world cup inappropriately bolsters the prestige of the -lrb- russian president vladimir -rrb- putin regime at a time when it should be condemned and provides economic relief at a time when much of the international community is imposing economic sanctions , ' the senators wrote to fifa president sepp blatter . fifa president sepp blatter announces russia as the host nation for the 2018 world cup . republican john mccain is one of 13 us senators urging fifa to think again . a thomson airways plane was forced to make an emergency landing in munich on monday . the aircraft , which was heading to dalaman in turkey from leeds , carried out the procedure due to a ` medical emergency ' on board . fire engines were waiting for flight tom698 as it touched down in germany , according to twitter account airlive which gives regular updates on plane travel . medical emergency : thomson airways flight tom698 was diverted to munich -lrb- file photo -rrb- . it was earlier reported that the plane had been circling over germany in an attempt to reduce altitude prior to landing . it escalated , and at 4.15 am nuñez allegedly grabbed the gardening tool and drove it into the woman 's behind . attack : antonio nunez allegedly stabbed his girlfriend in the backside with a pitchfork during an argument . the lead signers were senator robert menendez , the top democrat on the senate foreign relations committee , and senator ron johnson , the republican chairman of the foreign relations panel 's europe subcommittee . republican senator john mccain , chairman of the senate armed services committee , also signed the letter , as did senator richard durbin , the number two democrat in the senate . england are planning a bid to host eur 2028 after last holding the tournament at home in 1996 . meanwhile , england are interested in bidding for euro 2028 but are very unlikely to bid for the 2026 world cup , fa chairman greg dyke has revealed . fifa announced last week that the decision on the 2026 tournament will be made in 2017 - when blatter is still likely to be fifa president . the fa has decided not to bid for fifa tournaments while blatter is still in power following england 's failed bid for 2018 , but is eyeing a bid for the european championship in 2028 . thomson airways issued a statement saying unscheduled stop was necessary because of a ` medical emergency ' . circling : twitter user @josia_gandozz tweeted an image showing the route the flight took to munich . it added : ` thomson airways can confirm that flight tom698 travelling from leeds bradford to dalaman , turkey , has diverted into munich airport due to a medical emergency on board . ` we apologise for any inconvenience caused to customers and will be continuing with the flight as soon as possible .

 The article discusses Scotland's first solar meadow, which is expected to cut carbon emissions by 300,000 kg per year. The project, led by Edinburgh College, involves installing 2500 solar panels in a meadow near the college campus. The initiative aims to reduce the college's carbon footprint and provide a sustainable energy source. The project is part of a larger effort to make Scotland a leader in renewable energy technology.
