Australia drops investigations into ex-anti-corruption chief Brereton over cost

Australia's National Anti-Corruption Commission inspector Gail Furness has ended two ongoing investigations into former NACC commissioner Paul Brereton, citing the inability to justify the expenditure. Brereton's resignation was also a key factor in the decision. Furness stated that the systemic issues identified in the complaints have since been satisfactorily addressed.

Should cost concerns justify dropping anti-corruption investigations?

Spacecraft flies past snowman-shaped asteroid

A space probe flew very close past an asteroid that resembles a snowman, formed by two rounded bodies joined together. The flyby was conducted at close range as part of ongoing research into small Solar System bodies. The unusual double-lobed shape makes this asteroid a striking subject for planetary scientists.

Poland registers record 312,000 new cars in H1 2026, but figure is artificially inflated

Poland registered over 312,000 new passenger cars in the first half of 2026, a record figure according to the Polish Automotive Industry Association. However, June's surge was artificially inflated by an unusual wave of registrations of final production batches ahead of regulatory changes introduced in July. Industry observers warn the result does not reflect genuine consumer demand.

Can Poland's car registration record be considered a genuine industry success?

OpenUSD: 140+ firms unite to build a shared stablecoin standard

More than 140 financial entities — including banks, card networks and payment aggregators — have joined forces to develop OpenUSD, a shared stablecoin standard. The initiative is a response to growing market fragmentation, where major institutions each attempt to launch their own digital currency. The project's backers argue that a landscape of dozens of competing stablecoins is unsustainable.

Does OpenUSD have a real chance of replacing individual bank stablecoin projects?

English court to rule on final challenge to Trinidad's gay sex ban

An English appeals court is set to rule on the final legal challenge to Trinidad and Tobago's ban on gay sex, potentially ending a nearly decade-long legal battle for LGBT+ rights in the Caribbean nation. The case has gone through multiple court stages before reaching this final appellate hearing in England. A ruling in favour of the claimants would strike down the colonial-era law.

Should the court strike down Trinidad's gay sex ban?

Oil Prices Surge After US Strikes on Iran and Hormuz Shipping Attacks

Attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz triggered a new cycle of retaliation, causing oil prices to jump sharply. US Central Command (CENTCOM) struck more than 80 targets in Iran overnight Tuesday-Wednesday with precision munitions in response. Tehran has vowed a "crushing" counter-response, raising fears of major disruptions to energy supplies from the Gulf region.

Were the US strikes on Iran a justified response to the Strait of Hormuz attacks?

Salzburg bans day-trippers' cars from historic centre all summer

Throughout the summer, Salzburg will ban day-trippers from driving into the historic city centre as part of measures to tackle severe tourist-season congestion. Visitors arriving for a single day will instead be directed to use bus services. The initiative targets the surge of short-stay tourists that clogs the Mozart-birthplace city each summer.

OECD Warns AI Threatens 75% of London's Nearly 5 Million Jobs

The OECD, cited by The Telegraph, warns that three in four jobs in London — a labour market of nearly 5 million workers — are at risk from artificial intelligence now or in the near future. London stands out among European capitals for the particularly high share of roles vulnerable to automation. Experts say the potential scale of labour-market disruption is unprecedented.
