Trump ahead of NATO summit: "Putin feels pressure, war's end is near"

Donald Trump, ahead of the NATO summit, claims the end of the war in Ukraine is closer than it appears and wants to speak with President Volodymyr Zelensky at the meeting. European allies remain sceptical, seeing no breakthrough and drawing up a long-term plan to support Kyiv without US involvement. The gap between Trump's optimism and Europe's distrust is deepening tensions within the Alliance.

Is Trump right that the end of the war in Ukraine is closer than it appears?

NBP surpasses 20 million ounces of gold after buying the June dip

The National Bank of Poland took advantage of falling gold prices in June to push its reserves above 20 million ounces. The NBP is rapidly closing in on its January 2026 target of holding 700 tonnes of gold in its vaults. The buying spree places Poland among Europe's fastest-accumulating central banks.

Should the NBP keep increasing gold reserves at the expense of other assets?

How soccer players train for 90 minutes of chaos — the science explained

Soccer is among the most physically demanding sports: outfield players cover between 10 and 13 kilometres per match, combining sprints, jogging and rapid changes of direction. In World Cup knockout rounds, play can extend to 120 minutes, placing even greater demands on cardiovascular and muscular systems. Modern training programmes blend endurance, speed and decision-making drills to replicate the sport's unpredictability.

2005 BMW X3 with manual gearbox and 400,000 km asking $5,700 – worth it?

A 2005 BMW X3 with over 250,000 miles on the clock is listed for $5,700, described by the seller as "meticulously maintained." The SUV's rare six-speed manual gearbox is its main selling point, setting it apart from automatic equivalents. The key question is whether that driving-enthusiast feature justifies buying a vehicle with such high mileage.

Is a 2005 BMW X3 with 250,000 miles for $5,700 a good deal?

Don't cut potatoes before boiling — you lose key vitamins and minerals

A nutrition expert from Poland's National Centre for Nutrition Education warns that cutting potatoes before boiling them significantly reduces their nutritional value. Vitamins and minerals leach into the water through the larger cut surface area. Potatoes should be cooked whole, ideally in their skins, to retain the most nutrients.

Should you always boil potatoes whole instead of cutting them first?

Hotels routinely offer certain services free of charge, while restaurants still bill customers for things that should cost nothing — such as tap water and complimentary bread. The piece argues that diners should know their rights and push back against such charges. The author draws a contrast between hospitality standards in hotels and restaurants.

Clair wearable reads hormones from the wrist and tracks the menstrual cycle

Startup Clair is developing a wrist-worn health tracker that reads hormone levels directly from the skin and factors the menstrual cycle into its health data analysis. Most existing fitness wearables have treated cycle-related fluctuations in heart rate, sleep and HRV as signs of stress or poor recovery, rather than normal physiological variation. Clair aims to build a device designed around female physiology from the ground up.

Do fitness wearable makers ignore female physiology?

Poll: Android users won't switch to iPhone just for better AI

A reader poll by Android Authority found that Android users are unlikely to switch to iPhone solely because of AI improvements, even as both platforms ramp up AI-centric OS updates. Although Apple's revamped Siri borrows its framework from Google's Gemini, the two assistants deliver noticeably different results. Platform loyalty appears to outweigh the appeal of smarter AI for most respondents.
