Infantino called Norwegians "Sons of Albion" after England match — controversy erupts

After Norway's 2–1 extra-time defeat to England in the World Cup quarter-final, FIFA president Gianni Infantino addressed the Norwegian players and congratulated them as "Sons of Albion" — a term associated with England, not Norway. The match was surrounded by controversy, and the Norwegians left the tournament bitterly disappointed despite their historic run.

Should Infantino apologise to Norway for calling them "Sons of Albion"?

US strikes 140 Iranian military targets; Iran reportedly closes Strait of Hormuz again

US forces struck 140 Iranian military targets overnight from Saturday to Sunday in retaliation for an attack on a commercial vessel, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM). Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced its own strikes on American bases and units. Iran reportedly closed the Strait of Hormuz again, threatening a critical global shipping lane.

Were the US strikes on Iran a justified response to the attack on a commercial vessel?

'Five Years, Four Months' review: a tense portrait of a Colombian mother searching for her disappeared son

"Five Years, Four Months" centres on a grieving Colombian mother searching for her forcibly disappeared son, set against the backdrop of Colombia's decades-long armed conflict involving the government, paramilitaries and guerrilla groups. Critics praise the film's impressive command of tension and its emotionally affecting performances. The subject remains painfully relevant, as thousands of Colombians have been forcibly disappeared since the mid-1960s.

Is cinema an effective way to raise awareness of Colombia's disappearances crisis?

China tests truck-mounted electromagnetic drone catapult that needs no runway

China's Beijing Institute of Technology released footage of three eight-wheeled trucks interlocking to form a road-mobile electromagnetic catapult capable of launching a propeller-driven drone without a runway. The system miniaturises the EMALS technology already used on China's newest aircraft carrier. Transported in standard shipping containers, it could theoretically be deployed anywhere in the world.

Renault 4 E-Tech Plein Sud review: retro electric cabriolet tested near Barcelona

The all-electric Renault 4 E-Tech returns in a Plein Sud variant featuring a fabric soft-top instead of a rigid roof. The car was put through its paces on various roads near Barcelona, including a check of the engineers' claim of exceptional cabin quietness at 130 km/h. The tester describes the drive as enjoyable and nostalgic, evoking the spirit of the original R4.

Is the electric Renault 4 soft-top a worthy successor to the iconic original?

Ripple considered shutting down and giving XRP to shareholders before fighting SEC lawsuit

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has revealed that he and co-founder Chris Larsen considered winding the company down and distributing its XRP holdings to shareholders. The option was weighed before they decided to fight the SEC lawsuit filed against Ripple in 2020. Ultimately both chose to contest the case in court rather than dissolve the company.

Was Ripple right to fight the SEC lawsuit rather than shut down?

Morning, noon or evening? When a walk benefits you most

A morning walk energises and refreshes the body, an evening walk calms the nervous system and aids sleep, while a post-lunch walk supports digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Each time of day offers distinct benefits, and the best choice depends on individual needs and lifestyle.

Is a morning walk healthier than an evening walk?

Ex-footballers show reduced brain volume and higher rates of depression, study finds

A new study has found evidence of reduced brain volume in former elite footballers, who also report difficulties with thinking and decision-making. The research shows that ex-footballers are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety than the general population. The findings suggest that years of professional football may have lasting neurological and mental health consequences.

Should football clubs be legally responsible for ex-players' mental health?

Pokémon Pokopia tops 4 million copies sold on Switch 2

Pokémon Pokopia, a social simulation game released on Nintendo Switch 2 by Koei Tecmo, has sold over four million copies, making it a surprise hit.

Despite this, the team aimed to make it the best-selling spin-off in the Pokémon franchise — a goal they appear to have achieved.
