Argentina Beat Wales 35-21 in San Juan to Deliver Reality Check

Argentina beat Wales 35-21 in San Juan in a rugby Test match, with the Pumas more than deserving their victory. The result was a reality check for Wales, who had won back-to-back Tests against Italy and Fiji before travelling to South America. Argentina dominated throughout and showed Wales's recent form had not prepared them for this level of opposition.

Is Wales ready for tougher challenges after such a heavy defeat to Argentina?

The Rame Peninsula, located on the south-eastern coast of Cornwall, England, is one of the region's least-visited corners. Protected as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it has retained its unspoiled, largely undeveloped character. It is an ideal destination for travellers seeking quiet beaches away from the tourist crowds.

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.

NYT reporters subpoenaed over Air Force One security coverage

The US Justice Department has subpoenaed New York Times journalists who reported on security concerns surrounding Air Force One, the presidential aircraft gifted to Donald Trump by Qatar. The move has raised fresh concerns about press freedom under the Trump administration, as reporters could be compelled to identify their sources in court.

Food scent boosts leg workout endurance, study finds

A study published in Frontiers in Physiology found that food-related scent signals can increase strength and endurance during leg resistance training. Dr Mohamed Nashrudin bin Naharudin from the University of Malaya recruited 23 healthy young men who fasted for at least 10 hours before testing on a leg extension machine. The results show that unconscious olfactory cues genuinely affect physical performance capacity.

Should these findings change how people prepare for resistance training?

New book on Trump: the more a would-be dictator seeks total power, the more absurd he becomes

Krzysztof Szadkowski reviews a new book about Donald Trump, which explores the claim that Trump aspires to be the most powerful leader in history. The reviewer argues the book confirms a timeless truth about would-be dictators: the more they crave absolute power, the more ridiculous they become. The publication is assessed as a sharp analysis of what the reviewer calls "pseudo-dictatorial" political phenomena.

Is it fair to compare Trump to a dictator?

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 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.

Koei Tecmo president and CEO Hisashi Koinuma told Famitsu that the team had "no real expectations" for the title before its launch. Despite this, the team aimed to make it the best-selling spin-off in the Pokémon franchise — a goal they appear to have achieved.

He said he had never witnessed such a fast and clear-cut dismissal of a supposedly revolutionary technology, citing his own children's immediate recognition of AI content. Nolan also said AI is emerging in Hollywood at "the least appropriate moment," while acknowledging that not all uses of AI are worthless.

WSJ: US–Europe relations are a loveless marriage, but no divorce in sight

The Wall Street Journal described transatlantic relations as a "loveless marriage" kept alive by key players on both sides. The paper stressed that neither side has filed for "divorce," and that unravelling the deep political, economic and military ties would be an enormous undertaking. Tensions between Washington and European capitals nonetheless remain significant.
