England's Harry Kane
Paris - Arab Today

Man of the moment Harry Kane scored just moments into his international debut to seal a 4-0 win for England against Lithuania at Wembley in Euro 2016 qualifying on Friday.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker was called up by Roy Hodgson having scored 29 goals for his club this season, and he was brought on for captain Wayne Rooney in the 71st minute of the qualifying Group E fixture with England leading 3-0.
Within two minutes, the 21-year-old had his first goal for his country, heading home from a Raheem Sterling cross at the back post.
Before that, Rooney opened the scoring early on with his 47th international goal, leaving him two shy of Bobby Charlton's England record.
Danny Welbeck was then credited with the second goal just before the break, although the ball took a crucial deflection off Lithuania captain Tadas Kijanskas before going in.
And before setting up Kane's goal, Liverpool winger Sterling claimed his first in an England shirt too as Hodgson's side made it five wins from five games in Group E.
"I dreamed of this and it's just a bit of a blur at the moment," Kane told ITV.
"It's the best moment of my career. To represent my country at senior level is the top and hopefully I can continue to keep doing it and hopefully this goal is the first of many."
Halfway through the campaign to qualify for next year's finals in France, England are six points clear of both Slovenia and Switzerland at the top of the section.
The Swiss eased to a 3-0 win at home to Estonia with Fabian Schaer, Granit Xhaka and Haris Seferovic all on target.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund's Kevin Kampl was one of half a dozen different scorers as Slovenia hammered hapless San Marino 6-0.
Reigning European champions Spain took an important step towards qualifying from Group C with a 1-0 victory at home to Ukraine in Seville.
Alvaro Morata of Juventus was handed a start up front in the absence of injured Chelsea star Diego Costa and took advantage to score his first international goal in the 28th minute after being set up by Koke.
Spain were still not entirely convincing, but they could and probably should have won by more goals.
However, Sergio Ramos, on the ground where he first made his name with Sevilla a decade ago, headed against the woodwork from a David Silva free-kick and only a great Andriy Pyatov save stopped substitute Santi Cazorla making it 2-0 after a one-two with Isco.
"In the first-half we played well and we had chances," said Spain coach Vicente del Bosque.
"In the second we had a few openings, but we found it difficult to break them down. The second half left me with a bad taste in my mouth."
Del Bosque's side are now clear in second place in Group C, although they remain three points behind Slovakia, who won 3-0 at home to Luxembourg for a fifth win from five outings.
Elsewhere in Group C, Belarus came from behind to claim their first victory of the campaign, 2-1 in Macedonia.
- Montenegro-Russia match abandoned -
Meanwhile, the Group G fixture between Montenegro and Russia in Podgorica was abandoned after the German referee stopped play on two separate occasions because of trouble.
The first stoppage came with less than a minute played after visiting goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev was hit by a flare thrown from the crowd.
The CSKA Moscow goalkeeper was stretchered off and taken to hospital as a precaution, and play restarted after a half-hour stoppage.
However, the game was abandoned altogether with the score 0-0 midway through the second half as tensions mounted between the two teams after Russia's Roman Shirokov had a hotly-disputed penalty saved.
It remains to be seen what action UEFA will take, although Russia will hope to be awarded the victory.
Austria top the group with 13 points after a 5-0 win in Liechtenstein, with Sweden four points behind in second.
They won 2-0 in Moldova as captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a second-half brace, including a late penalty.
