CANBERRA Marouane Fellaini Jersey , Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- The popularity of Australia's Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has plunged despite his party retained an election-winning lead in the polls.

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) maintained a 53-47 two-party preferred lead on the ruling Liberal National Party (LNP) in a Fairfax-Ipsos poll released on Monday.

The poll found that the popularity of ALP leader Bill Shorten had taken a significant hit, however, with his approval rating falling from 42 to 36 percent since May while his disapproval soared from 47 to 52 percent, leaving him with a net rating of -16 percent.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's rating has also taken a hit with his net rating falling from +1 percent in May to -5 percent on Monday.

Turnbull did significantly increase his lead as preferred PM, rising to 48 percent while Shorten fell to 31 percent.

The results came after months of fighting between the LNP and ALP with the government's narrow majority allowing it little leeway in passing major legislation.

Ipsos identified rising electricity prices, climate change and the uncertain future of Australia's energy market as the biggest concerns among voters.

Scott Morrison, Australia's Treasurer, was also given a big tick of approval by the 1,400 Australians polled by Ipsos, with 38 percent of whom saying he was their preferred treasurer over ALP counterpart Chris Bowen.

Overall, voters said that economic policy was a major strong point for the LNP over the ALP, with 39 percent identifying the LNP as best-equipped to manage the economy compared to 28 percent who preferred the ALP.

MADRID， Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid kick off their campaign without Cristiano Ronaldo but with a wealth of attacking talent when they take on Real Sociedad in the Basque side's Anoeta Stadium on Sunday evening.

Ronaldo is still putting the finishing touches to his recovery following this summer's European Championship， but Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has plenty of options to partner Gareth Bale in attack.

Alvaro Morata returned to Madrid this summer， while the club has also decided the time has come for the talented Marcos Asensio to remain in the first team squad. Meanwhile James Rodriguez， who may or may not move on before the end of the month， and Isco offer further options as Zidane looks to put his attack together.

Luka Modric missed the first game of the new campaign through a suspension carried over from the end of last season while Zidane may prefer not to risk Pepe， who has carried an injury in recent days， and give a start to Rafael Varene.

Finally Kiko Casilla will play in goal as Keylor Navas finishes his recovery from close-season ankle surgery.

Real Madrid have enjoyed recent visits to San Sebastian and have only lost three times in their last 20 visits.

It has been a quiet summer for Real Sociedad， although the arrival of Brazilian striker William Jose from Las Palmas looks to have given the side extra firepower in attack as Imanol Agirretxe looks to get to full fitness.

However， on Sunday all eyes will be on 19-year-old striker Mikel Oyarzabal， who on Friday signed a contract extension in the face of rumored interest from Athletic Club Bilbao.

The fact the new deal was announced just hours after stories of interest from Real Sociedad's more powerful neighbors were published hints at more than a slice at theater from the club， but if Oyarzabal can hit the net against Madrid on Sunday， his hero status would be assured.

BERLIN, July 27 (Xinhua) -- Deutsche Bank AG, Europe's largest investment bank, released disappointing figures for its revenue in the second quarter of 2017 on Thursday.

The Frankfurt-based financial institution recorded a 10 percent decline of revenues down to 6.62 billion euros (7.74 billion U.S. dollars) in Q2, the weakest quarter in three-and-a-half years.

An analyst consensus compiled by the bank had forecast substantially higher revenues of 7.15 billion euros.

"Revenues were not as universally strong as we would have liked it, in large measure because of muted client activity in many capital markets. As we modernize our bank we are turning our focus onto building profitable growth," a statement by CEO John Cryan read.

Investment banking was a particular weak spot, where earnings of the reorganized unit fell by 16 percent as trading and transaction banking income shrunk. Deutsche Bank warned that revenues of its operating businesses would decline this year.

The news prompted Deutsche Bank's shares to fall by 3.7 percent to 15.98 euros, the steepest fall in over four months.

Back in March, Cryan had expressed his desire to achieve "modest growth" by focusing more on corporate clients and the bank's German roots. Deutsche Bank has announced three turnaround plans in as many years.

The financial institution had recorded its weakest yearly revenue in 2016 for six years, forcing it to raise an additional 8 billion euros to calm fears that it would be unable to pay misconduct fines.

Despite lasting weak revenue development in Q2 2017, however, Deutsche Bank more than doubled pre-tax profits in the same period.

Pre-tax profits rose to 822 million euros compared to 408 million euros last year, well ahead of analysts' expectations of 199 million euros. A substantial year on year fall in costs to 5.717 billion euros (15 percent) allowed the bank to sur. Cheap Jerseys   Cheap Authentic Jerseys   Cheap NFL Jerseys China   Cheap NFL Replica Jerseys   Cheap Football Jerseys   Cheap NFL Football Jerseys   Wholesale Jerseys   Wholesale Jerseys China   Wholesale Jerseys From China   Wholesale Jerseys From China
