US approves Patriot missile licence for Ukraine, but production years away

Donald Trump announced that the US will approve a licence for Ukraine to produce its own Patriot missile interceptors, a move described as a potential breakthrough for Kyiv. However, experts warn that setting up production will take years, meaning there will be no immediate military benefit. The decision is seen as a long-term investment in Ukraine's air-defence capability.

Is the Patriot production licence sufficient US support for Ukraine?

NHS to offer two rapid endometriosis tests for faster diagnosis

Two new rapid diagnostic tests for endometriosis are to be made available on the NHS, offering faster answers to women who have long suffered without a diagnosis. Patients have welcomed the move, with one saying the tests "would have given me years back." Endometriosis affects millions of women and often goes undetected for many years.

Should rapid endometriosis tests be available free to all women?

Ranavalona I: Madagascar's queen – tyrant or defender of sovereignty?

European accounts labelled Madagascar's Queen Ranavalona I "Caligula in a skirt," but historians increasingly challenge this narrative. She ruled for 33 years (1828–1861) and died in her own bed — facts that sit uneasily with the image of a mad despot. Her harsh policies are increasingly interpreted as a response to French and British colonial pressure.

Was the European portrayal of Queen Ranavalona I unfair?

Spaghetti bolognese doesn't exist in Bologna — Italians are baffled

Italians — especially those from Bologna — are baffled by the worldwide fame of "spaghetti bolognese," a dish that simply does not exist in the local cuisine. In Bologna, the traditional meat ragù is always served with tagliatelle, never spaghetti. Spaghetti bolognese is a foreign invention that has become one of the biggest myths about Italian cooking.

Should spaghetti bolognese be recognised as its own dish unrelated to Bologna?

Toyota Aygo X Hybrid GR Sport review: sporty looks, disappointing performance

The Toyota Aygo X Hybrid GR Sport is a small city car with sporty styling but, according to the reviewer, fails to deliver on the promise of above-average performance. The GR Sport badge raises expectations that the hybrid drivetrain in this compact urban vehicle cannot fully meet. It works well in city conditions but is likely to disappoint driving enthusiasts seeking genuine thrills.

Is the GR Sport badge on a hybrid city car just marketing hype?
