Beetle thought extinct in Germany returns to fight oak processionary moth

The oak-bark beetle (tฤ™cznik liszkarz), considered extinct in Saxony-Anhalt since the 1960s, has been spotted there again. It is a natural predator of the oak processionary moth, whose stinging hairs trigger severe allergic reactions and have led to the closure of kindergartens and playgrounds across Europe, including in Poland. Scientists caution the beetle alone will not stop the infestation.

Are natural predators a better solution to the oak processionary moth than pesticides?

U.S. hits Brazil with 25% tariff on most goods over unfair trade practices

The U.S. has imposed a 25% tariff on most Brazilian goods, citing unfair trade practices. A separate U.S. probe into Brazil's forced-labour enforcement could trigger an additional 12.5% duty on top of the 25%, with a decision expected next week. The move is a significant escalation in trade tensions between Washington and Brasรญlia.

Are U.S. tariffs on Brazilian goods justified?

Kane after England's World Cup exit: "It's not enough โ€“ we must find the missing piece"

England were eliminated from the 2026 World Cup after a 1-2 semi-final defeat to Argentina. Captain Harry Kane said his side were "close" but admitted they still lack the "missing piece" to go all the way in a major tournament. It is another heartbreaking semi-final exit for England.

Does England deserve to progress beyond World Cup semi-finals?

How to fry juicy breaded fish: the moment you salt it makes all the difference

The most common mistake when frying breaded fish is salting the fillet too early โ€” salt draws out moisture, leaving the flesh dry and fibrous. The fillet should be salted immediately before breading, or seasoned after frying. Getting the timing right ensures a juicy interior and a crispy coating.

India races to build AI data centres on coast, locals fear energy and water costs

India is accelerating construction of giant AI data centres, with officials backing the projects to close the country's technology gap with the US and China. Critics warn the megaprojects will consume vast amounts of energy and water while providing few long-term local jobs, with coastal communities bearing the heaviest burden. The tension between development ambitions and local costs is growing.

Should India build giant AI data centres despite the environmental costs?

Zelensky removes minister Umerov amid conflict with military command

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is removing Defence Minister Rustem Umerov following a reported conflict with the country's military command. The decision has shaken Kyiv and marks one of the most significant personnel changes since Russia's full-scale invasion began. The specific nature of the dispute has not been publicly disclosed.

Will removing Ukraine's defence minister weaken the country's war effort?

Russia launches ballistic missile attack on Kyiv โ€“ 16 killed across Ukraine in two days

Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, causing multiple explosions across the Ukrainian capital. At least 16 people have been killed across Ukraine over two days of Russian strikes. Ukrainian emergency services are conducting rescue operations at the sites of the impacts.

Should the West supply Ukraine with more anti-missile defence systems?

Ubisoft earned millions on an Assassin's Creed DLC that just hides the HUD

Ubisoft sold a paid DLC for one of its Assassin's Creed titles whose sole function is hiding the in-game HUD โ€” a feature other studios include free in settings. Despite widespread criticism, players bought it in large numbers, earning Ubisoft millions. The incident has sparked outrage among gamers and renewed debate about the limits of in-game monetisation.

Should gamers boycott Ubisoft over paid DLC that only hides the HUD?

26 EV fires in Poland in H1 โ€” lower risk rate than combustion cars

Poland recorded 26 electric vehicle fires in the first half of the year, accounting for 0.52% of all vehicle fires. Despite a growing number of EVs on Polish roads, the fire rate per thousand registered vehicles has fallen. Statistically, EVs now carry a lower fire risk than combustion-engine cars.

Do the statistics confirm that EVs are safer than combustion cars in terms of fire risk?

Poland's anti-quackery law may hit legitimate medical professionals too

Poland's parliament passed legislation aimed at protecting patients from quacks and pseudomedicine. Critics warn the wording is broad enough to also affect legitimate practices of midwives, nurses and doctors. Experts are calling for the law to be clarified to avoid unintended legal consequences for lawful medical professionals.

Is Poland's new anti-quackery law too broad and a threat to legitimate medics?

Bucharest tourists renting flats in earthquake-risk buildings via Airbnb and Booking.com

Data from Re:Rise, a Romanian seismic-risk organisation, identified at least 207 illegal tourist rental properties in Bucharest listed on Airbnb and Booking.com in buildings at the highest level of earthquake vulnerability. Those buildings could collapse in a major earthquake, yet together they can host over 1,000 visitors per night. The data was collected at the end of May.

Should platforms like Airbnb be legally responsible for verifying the safety of listed properties?

The lost joy of music piracy before the streaming era

The piece reflects on the era of music piracy โ€” through sites like OiNK and file-sharing forums โ€” when hunting for albums felt like a genuine adventure and built a sense of community among listeners. The author references CD collecting, Nine Inch Nails and the culture of sharing music as lost joys. Streaming made music instantly accessible but stripped away the thrill of the search.

Did music piracy offer listeners more benefits than today's streaming services?

Top 5 brightening cosmetics for sun-induced pigmentation on mature skin

Mature skin is especially vulnerable to sun-induced pigmentation and age spots in summer. Among the recommended products is a Slavia Cosmetics serum with encapsulated arbutin, which inhibits melanin production. The formula is complemented by an azelaic acid derivative, stable vitamin C, liquorice extract and glutathione, all of which even out skin tone and brighten the complexion.

Are expensive brightening serums a better investment than dermatologist treatments?

Meta uses public Instagram photos to train AI image generator without user consent

Meta has launched a tool called Muse Image on Instagram that generates and edits images using photos from other users' public accounts โ€” without their consent. The AI model can create new images based on other people's photographs, raising serious privacy and copyright concerns. Users with public profiles are particularly exposed to having their content used this way.

Should Meta be allowed to use public Instagram photos to train its AI?
