Arthur Fery's Wimbledon run: can the 5ft 9in Brit keep winning?

British tennis player Arthur Fery, standing just 5ft 9in, is turning heads at Wimbledon with what former doubles specialist Jamie Murray and coach Jamie Delgado call "proper" grass-court tennis. The pair say Fery's rise is no surprise, praising his "awkward" but effective playing style. A persistent nosebleed problem remains a concern that could threaten his progress in the tournament.

Does Arthur Fery have what it takes to reach the later rounds of Wimbledon?

Poland's military aid to Ukraine was strategic — not scrap metal

Poland's military equipment deliveries to Ukraine in the early phase of the war were widely described in public discourse as "scrap metal," but the author argues they were a genuine strategic contribution. The hardware provided Ukraine with time, firepower and mobility during a critical period. By allowing this belittling narrative to dominate, Poland has undersold its own role in both Ukrainian and regional security.

Should Poland more actively promote its military contribution to Ukraine's defence?

From 7 July 2026, new EU cars must include ISA and further safety systems

From 7 July 2026, all newly registered cars in the European Union must include a new mandatory package of safety systems, most notably Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA). The system monitors speed limits and alerts the driver — or applies resistance on the accelerator — when the limit is exceeded. The technology is factory-fitted and requires no additional purchase by the driver.

Will mandatory Intelligent Speed Assistance improve road safety?

Apple asks court to pause Epic Games case pending Supreme Court review

Apple has filed a request to pause proceedings in its long-running legal dispute with Epic Games at the Northern District of California while the US Supreme Court reviews part of the case. The multi-year battle centres on Apple's App Store rules and commissions on iOS. Pausing the lower-court proceedings would prevent potentially conflicting rulings from running in parallel.

Should the Supreme Court grant Apple's request to pause the Epic Games case?

Trump promised a foreign investment boom — obstacles are mounting

The Trump administration promised a surge in foreign direct investment into the United States, partly driven by tariff pressure pushing companies to produce locally. However, regulatory and political uncertainty are pushing capital away, making the promise harder to deliver. The overall picture is mixed: tariffs have drawn some investment, but broader conditions are deterring others.

Is Trump's tariff policy effectively attracting foreign investment to the US?

Olives support heart health — why you should add them to daily meals

Olives, often dismissed as mere garnish or a cheeseboard snack, contain compounds beneficial for heart and cardiovascular health. Eaten regularly, they fit naturally into the Mediterranean diet, widely regarded as one of the most heart-friendly eating patterns. They do not replace a balanced diet but are a valuable addition to everyday meals.

How to adapt homes for heatwaves without air conditioning

Many European homes, particularly in Germany, were not built to cope with heatwaves, making adaptation increasingly urgent. Experts say air conditioning is not the best solution; instead, measures such as external blinds, night ventilation, thermal insulation and green roofs are recommended for existing buildings. Rethinking how homes are built and retrofitted has become a pressing issue as climate change intensifies.

Is air conditioning the wrong solution for keeping homes cool in heatwaves?

Stephen Wolfram argues computation, not physics, explains the universe

Mathematician and complexity theorist Stephen Wolfram argues that computation — not physics — is the fundamental explanation for reality. His framework claims to explain why evolution never gets stuck, how free will exists in a deterministic universe, and why the laws of physics take the form they do. The discussion is featured on Big Think.

Konfederacja MEP Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik claimed the HPV vaccine is a medical experiment that causes infertility and is banned in many countries. In reality, the HPV vaccine is approved and recommended by health authorities worldwide, and claims linking it to infertility are not supported by scientific evidence.
