Manual-Swapped Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon With 500 HP Is Up for Sale

A rare manual-swapped Mercedes E63 AMG wagon producing around 500 HP has come up for sale. The car represents an unusual combination that Mercedes never offered from the factory. Even buyers who normally avoid modified used cars may find this one hard to resist.

Is it worth buying someone else's project car if the result is as unique as this AMG?

Wisła Kraków Fan Exposed Romanian Player Who Faked His Entire Career

Years ago, a mysterious Romanian player arrived at Wisła Kraków for trials with an impressive football CV. A Wisła fan quickly uncovered that the player's career history was entirely fabricated and that he was not who he claimed to be. Despite the fraud being exposed, the impostor had already featured in a friendly match wearing the Kraków club's colours.

Should football clubs more thoroughly verify players' CVs before trials?

Hormuz Strait Traffic Near Standstill After US Strikes Iran for Second Day

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz came to a near standstill on Thursday after the United States struck Iran for a second consecutive day. A fragile ceasefire between the two sides is looking increasingly shaky. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical oil transit chokepoints, and its disruption has major consequences for global energy markets.

Climate Change May Bring Dangerous Microsporidian Fungi to Europe

Microsporidia — single-celled parasites that science only recently reclassified as fungi rather than protozoa — have until now been considered an exotic and little-known threat. Rising temperatures driven by climate change may, however, allow them to spread into Europe. Researchers warn they will need to dedicate increasing attention to these organisms in the coming years.

Does climate change pose a greater health threat than we are ready to admit?

IMF Cuts 2026 Global Growth Forecast to 3% Amid Iran War Energy Shock

The International Monetary Fund has cut its 2026 global growth forecast to 3%, citing the economic fallout from the war involving Iran, which has triggered an energy shock. Growing demand for artificial intelligence technology is partially offsetting the negative impact of higher energy prices. The revision signals a significant deterioration in the global economic outlook.

CAA Slams Meta's Muse AI Tool for Opt-Out Rather Than Opt-In Consent

Talent agency CAA has publicly criticised Meta for making its Muse AI video and photo generation tool opt-out, meaning users must actively choose to be excluded. In a statement issued Wednesday night, CAA said no one's name, image, likeness, voice or creative work should be used by AI models without clear, documented consent. The agency called on Meta to move to an explicit opt-in model.

Should Meta require active opt-in consent before using people's likenesses in AI tools?

Switzerland spent millions to spread tourists around – it didn't work

Switzerland has spent two years and millions of francs trying to divert tourists away from its most crowded destinations to lesser-known spots. Despite the costly new promotional strategy, statistics show the results are weak — visitors continue to flock to the same popular locations. The campaign has failed to meaningfully change tourist behaviour.

Should governments restrict tourist access to the most popular destinations?

HBO's "Big Little Lies" is considered one of the most significant TV events of the 21st century, bringing major movie stars to the small screen and sparking important conversations about domestic abuse.
