Gianni Infantino is seeking another term as FIFA president but has encountered resistance from Germany. The German Football Association (DFB) refused to sign a letter of support for the incumbent FIFA chief. The refusal comes against the backdrop of a high-profile scandal surrounding the recent World Cup that has damaged Infantino's standing.

Should Infantino run for another term as FIFA president?

BBC confirms Doctor Who cancelled — no new showrunner or Christmas special

The BBC has officially responded to the cancellation of Doctor Who, more than a month after the show was put out to competitive tender and ultimately axed. Contrary to earlier rumours, no Christmas special for 2026 was ever produced and no search for a new Time Lord took place. Outgoing showrunner Russell T. Davies had confirmed writing a Christmas script, but it will not be made.

Was the BBC right to cancel Doctor Who?

US diesel hits $5 a gallon again — up 33% since the Iran war began

US diesel prices have hit $5 a gallon again, up 33% from when the Iran war started. Renewed fighting in the Persian Gulf and reduced refinery capacity are the main drivers. Prices first crossed the $5 mark in March, and the latest surge is squeezing transport and logistics costs nationwide.

Should the US boost domestic oil production to bring diesel prices down?

Ex-NFZ chief Sośnierz: Medical procedure pricing in Poland is total chaos

Andrzej Sośnierz, former MP and head of the National Health Fund (NFZ), commented on reports of some doctors earning up to 240 złoty per hour, calling the pricing of medical procedures in Poland "total chaos." He argues that as long as large sums of easy money circulate in the system for specific procedures, someone will always exploit it. Sośnierz says the root problem lies in the structural design of healthcare financing.

Would capping doctors' hourly pay solve the problem of abuses in the NFZ?

Asteroid 1998 SH2 may be a "dark comet" — a threat to Earth?

The object 1998 SH2, catalogued as a standard asteroid since 1998, displayed orbital anomalies during its close approach in August 2025, triggering a new series of analyses. Scientists now suspect it may be a so-called dark comet — an object with comet-like activity but no visible coma or tail. The finding forces a rethink of how Earth-threat assessments are made for similar objects.

Do near-Earth object monitoring systems urgently need upgrading?
