Pegasus spyware used against MEP investigating spyware abuses, Citizen Lab finds

Citizen Lab researchers at the University of Toronto found that NSO Group's Pegasus spyware was repeatedly used to compromise the device of Greek MEP Stelios Kouloglou while he was serving on a European Parliament committee investigating spyware abuses. The attack bore hallmarks of a previous hacking campaign targeting exiled Russian and Belarusian journalists in Europe. Researchers were unable to attribute the attack to a specific government operator of Pegasus.

Should the EU ban Pegasus spyware use across all member states?

Jackman Won't Advise His Wolverine Successor: "I Didn't Get Tips Either"

Hugh Jackman told Project Big Screen that he has no intention of giving advice to whoever takes on the role of Wolverine in the MCU. He noted that he received no guidance himself when he first played Logan, and that figuring it out independently helped him build a unique portrayal. Jackman also hinted he hasn't fully closed the door on the role, joking he could play Wolverine until he's 90.

Should Jackman's Wolverine successor receive guidance from him?

Venezuela Earthquake Was Not Caused by Wave Weapons — It's a Hoax

Following the earthquake in Venezuela, conspiracy theories spread on social media claiming the disaster was artificially triggered by a "wave weapon." Internet users shared videos of lasers striking a city as supposed evidence, but fact-checkers and experts say the footage has no connection to the earthquake. The claims are classified as disinformation.

Do social media platforms effectively combat disinformation after natural disasters?

Poland's MiG-29s will stay in Polish service, not go to Ukraine

Poland's Ministry of National Defence has confirmed that its MiG-29 fighter jets will not be handed over to Ukraine. The aircraft will continue to serve in the Polish Air Force before being gradually phased out of service. This effectively ends months of speculation about a possible transfer of the jets to Kyiv.

Should Poland transfer its MiG-29s to Ukraine instead of retiring them?

A sleepless night boosts connections between brain cells

New research shows that a single sleepless night paradoxically increases the number of synaptic connections between brain cells. The effect may be a defensive mechanism the brain uses in response to sleep deprivation stress. Scientists stress, however, that chronic sleep loss remains harmful to overall health.

Does this discovery change how we should think about occasional all-nighters?

Hormones in chicken are a myth — fast growth is down to breeding, not chemicals

Experts are firmly debunking the widespread Polish belief that poultry is raised with hormones or steroids, calling it the "stupidest myth in Polish society." The rapid growth of modern chickens is the result of decades of selective breeding, not chemicals — which are banned in the EU. Poles are unnecessarily avoiding poultry counters due to a fear with no factual basis.

Are Poles' fears about hormones in poultry justified?

Alicja Horosz: Bhutan was meant to be a trip of a lifetime — it turned out to be her biggest disappointment

Traveller Alicja Horosz spoke with Sabina Zięba about the countries that impressed her most and those that let her down the most. Bhutan — long shrouded in mystery and for years heavily restricted for foreign tourists — turned out to be her greatest travel disappointment. Despite having visited much of the world, Horosz says some journeys still stay with her for a long time, thanks to landscapes, people and the emotions they stir.

Is Bhutan worth its high cost and tourist restrictions?

US Civil War: industrial North vs feudal South – a fight over money and slavery

In the mid-19th century the US was starkly divided: the capitalist North was building industry while the South maintained a feudal plantation economy based on enslaved labour. The Civil War was therefore a conflict not only over the rights of Black Americans but also over economic dominance and the country's direction. The two regions held incompatible visions for the nation's future.

Was economics a more important cause of the Civil War than slavery?

Jordan Rochester, Mizuho's EMEA FICC strategy head, told Bloomberg Television that the Japanese yen is no longer behaving like a typical G10 currency. He said that based on all frameworks, the dollar-yen rate should be lower than it currently is. Rochester noted the yen now trades like an emerging-market currency in terms of its correlation to interest rates.

Wave of Chinese carmaker bankruptcies may hit Polish drivers

Chinese automakers plan to launch up to 300 new models this year, but China's domestic car market is experiencing a sharp sales slump. Experts warn of a potential wave of bankruptcies and takeovers among Chinese brands, which could create parts and service problems for Polish owners of those vehicles. Drivers who have bought Chinese cars should be aware of the risk of losing technical support if a manufacturer collapses.

Should Polish drivers avoid buying Chinese-brand cars due to bankruptcy risk?
