Poland's ex-education minister Czarnek shows off fluent Italian on social media

Przemysław Czarnek, Poland's former education and science minister and two-time winner of the "Dzban Roku" (Blockhead of the Year) award, surprised Polish internet users by showing off his fluent Italian in a social media post. The display of linguistic skill impressed many viewers — an unusual reaction for the typically divisive politician. Italian is described in the piece as one of Europe's most beautiful languages.

Should speaking a foreign language fluently improve a controversial politician's public image?

Foreign journalists in China face surveillance, intimidation and "police tea" sessions

The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China (FCCC) annual report describes systematic surveillance, intimidation and harassment of foreign journalists working in China. Conditions for foreign correspondents have deteriorated so severely that pressure and monitoring have been labelled a "new abnormality." Practices include informal police interrogations known as "tea sessions," meant to pressure reporters into self-censorship.

Should Western governments restrict Chinese media accreditations in response to how China treats foreign journalists?

The average fraudulent transaction amounted to PLN 2,154.40. The NBP highlights that the growing wave of fraud is increasingly concentrated in bank transfers rather than payment cards.

Should banks bear full financial liability for fraud on customer accounts?

Fashion trends now last a week instead of years — what changed?

Just a few years ago, fashion trends like skinny jeans, oversized clothing or white sneakers lasted whole seasons and changed gradually. Today, driven by social media and fast fashion, new microtrends appear and vanish within days or a single week. The collapse of longer fashion cycles makes it increasingly hard to define the style of a given era as clearly as in decades past.

Is the rapid turnover of fashion trends good for consumers?

Should Western countries increase weapons deliveries to Ukraine?

Fool's gold found to contain real gold — nature's surprising twist

Pyrite, long mocked as "fool's gold," has been found to contain genuine gold atoms trapped within its crystal structure. Scientific research confirms that significant quantities of real gold can be locked inside pyrite deposits. The discovery could reshape the mining industry's approach to deposits previously considered worthless.

Should the discovery of gold in pyrite prompt the mining industry to reopen old deposits?

Garden dill aids digestion, relieves bloating and has antispasmodic properties

Fresh garden dill contains essential oils, flavonoids and phenolic compounds that support digestion, relieve bloating and have antispasmodic effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Regular consumption may reduce feelings of heaviness after meals and stimulate bile secretion. The herb grows easily in Polish gardens and is widely available throughout summer.

Motorola razr 70 Ultra review: great flip phone let down by insufficient RAM

The Motorola razr 70 Ultra is praised as one of the best small flip smartphones on the market, but the reviewer criticises it for insufficient RAM at a time when app demands are rapidly increasing — a trend dubbed the "RAMocalypse." Motorola leads the flip-phone segment overall, yet this model fails to keep up with modern software requirements. The lack of RAM hurts performance in more demanding use cases.

Does insufficient RAM disqualify the Motorola razr 70 Ultra as a purchase in 2025?

Saudi Arabia opens to tourists but Middle East conflict threatens ambitious plans

Saudi Arabia is aggressively developing its tourism sector, promoting ancient sites like Al-Ula and futuristic projects like NEOM as regional rivals to Petra and Dubai. The kingdom, long accessible only to Muslim pilgrims visiting Mecca and Medina, has opened its borders to international tourists in recent years. However, the ongoing Middle East conflict threatens to undermine these ambitious tourism ambitions.

Is Saudi Arabia worth visiting as a tourist destination despite its political situation?

Hailstorm halts Bad Bunny concert in Milan

A severe hailstorm struck Milan on Saturday evening, forcing organisers to halt a concert by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny. Some concertgoers were injured during the event, and all attendees were evacuated. It is the latest weather incident to disrupt a major music event in Europe.

Should outdoor concert organisers be required to have mandatory bad-weather evacuation plans?

Entomologist Dino Martins champions parasites: even gruesome creatures have vital roles

Award-winning entomologist and evolutionary biologist Dino Martins, known for his pollinator research, has written a new book defending parasites and other gruesome creatures. Raised in biodiversity-rich western Kenya, Martins was fascinated from childhood by dung beetles, safari ants and bees pollinating endangered African violets. His book argues that even the most repulsive organisms play vital roles in nature.

Should parasite conservation be part of mainstream wildlife protection policy?

Zcash's new Zakura node targets Visa-scale 50,000 transactions per second

The Zcash project has launched a new node client called Zakura, designed to push the network's throughput from roughly one private transaction per second to 50,000 per second – comparable to Visa's payment network. It is the first live component of a broader roadmap to scale Zcash to payment-network size. The goal is to deliver mass-scale transaction privacy.

Does Zcash have a real chance of becoming a viable alternative to Visa?

Moro Soup: The Early 20th-Century Recipe That Saved Children's Lives

In the early 20th century, Austrian paediatrician Ernst Moro developed a simple carrot soup that effectively combated diarrhoea in young children. At the time, diarrhoea was a leading cause of infant death due to rapid dehydration. Moro's soup helped significantly reduce child mortality rates.

Are home remedies for children's diarrhoea as effective as medication?

Katarzyna Bosacka turns 54: "I couldn't care less about the cult of youth"

Polish journalist Katarzyna Bosacka celebrated her 54th birthday on 19 July 2026. She marked the occasion with a personal post on Instagram declaring: "I am proud of my age, my wrinkles and my imperfections. I couldn't care less about the cult of youth." Her message was a clear statement of body acceptance and rejection of social pressure to stay perpetually young.

Mbappé breaks World Cup record as France loses third-place thriller 4–5

France lost the World Cup third-place match against England 4–5 in a spectacular ten-goal thriller played overnight on 18–19 July. Kylian Mbappé sparked a French comeback but it ultimately fell short. The captain set an all-time World Cup scoring record yet described the match as carrying "zero emotions" in his post-game comments.

Hungary's Szijjártó joins Chinese firm after quitting government, faces prosecution risk

Péter Szijjártó, Hungary's former foreign minister and a close ally of Viktor Orbán, has resigned his parliamentary seat to take a position at a Chinese corporation. Orbán described the move as "the transfer hit of the summer." The decision comes amid a looming prosecutorial threat, and Szijjártó spent years steering Hungary closer to both Moscow and Beijing.

Should former ministers be allowed to take jobs at foreign companies immediately after leaving government?
