Seoul stock crash: 300,000 wiped-out accounts and suicide prevention programme

After the KOSPI index broke the 9,000-point barrier for the first time, South Korea's stock market suffered a devastating crash. Over one million retail investors received margin calls, hundreds of thousands faced forced liquidations, and 300,000 accounts were wiped out. The scale of the disaster has prompted the financial regulator to develop an "economic suicide prevention programme for families".

Should financial regulators better protect retail investors from leverage?

Should Polish energy companies receive more free allowances under the EU ETS?

Poland Reach Nations League Final but No Player Will Receive $10,000 Individual Award

Poland's men's volleyball team qualified for the Nations League Final in Ningbo, China, finishing second in their group. Wilfredo Leon celebrated the qualification on social media. However, none of the Polish players will receive the $10,000 individual performance award from the intercontinental phase, suggesting none were selected among the honoured players.

Should the lack of individual awards for Polish players be a cause for concern about the team's level?

Trump Snubbed Carney and Sheinbaum to Spend Time with FIFA's Infantino

At the FIFA World Cup final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, President Donald Trump largely ignored Canadian PM Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in favour of FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Trump took Infantino's call about striker Folarin Balogun's red card and appears to give the FIFA chief standing access to the Oval Office. It was only the second time the three North American leaders had appeared together publicly.

Healthcare in retirement projected to cost $185,500 – excluding long-term care

New forecasts show the average American retiree will need $185,500 for healthcare costs in retirement, not including long-term care. Rising prices for medical services and managing chronic conditions are the main drivers of the increase. The figure poses a significant financial planning challenge for those approaching retirement.

Trump backs crypto earnings ban for politicians, risking his own crypto empire

Scottish tea mystery: how a journalist uncovered an audacious fraud

Saqqara tombs reveal ancient Egypt's unexpected ties to the Near East

Archaeologists excavating the necropolis at Saqqara, Egypt, have uncovered tombs that point to significant cultural and trade contacts between ancient Egypt and the Near East. The finds suggest these connections were closer than previously recognised. The discovery challenges long-held assumptions about the degree of Egypt's isolation from its eastern neighbours.

Should the Saqqara finds prompt a revision of how ancient Egypt's history is taught?

How to legally avoid fines from average speed cameras

The only legal way to avoid a fine from an average speed camera is to maintain the speed limit throughout the entire monitored section — the system calculates the average speed between two cameras, so braking just before the end sign changes nothing. If a driver exceeded the limit earlier on the section, last-second braking cannot undo the recorded average. The article debunks the common misconception that slowing down at the end of the zone is an effective strategy.

Do average speed cameras effectively improve road safety?

Iran's interior minister travelled to Pakistan — a key mediator — for diplomatic talks as fighting continues to escalate. The incidents raise serious concerns about the safety of shipping through one of the world's most critical oil supply routes.

Trump's Budget Bill Could Cost 1.5 Million Americans Their Health Coverage

Republicans passed a presidential fiscal policy bill that, according to estimates, will lead to the deaths of 1.5 million Americans stripped of health insurance. The legislation delivers tax benefits primarily to the wealthiest Americans and Trump's donors, while hurting the Republican Party's own electoral base. Polls indicate growing voter anger and suggest significant Republican losses in upcoming elections.

Polish rental market shifts as landlords start calculating returns more carefully

Renting out flats in Poland is no longer seen purely as easy passive income, according to economist Arkadiusz Derkacz of the Institute of the Rental Market. Landlords are increasingly comparing property with other investment options, analysing risk and potential returns. Derkacz says the model of renting out a flat simply because you happen to own one is fading, as the market becomes more professional and financially rational.

Is renting out a flat still a good investment in Poland?

Anaemia has many causes – iron deficiency is just one of them

Anaemia is not always caused by iron deficiency – it can also stem from chronic inflammation, malabsorption disorders, kidney disease or bone marrow dysfunction. In all cases, the body receives less oxygen than it needs to function properly. The condition affects daily wellbeing, physical performance and concentration, making proper diagnosis essential rather than self-treating with iron supplements.

Do people too often take iron supplements without a proper diagnosis?

Inspectors and police will gain expanded powers to enforce the new regulations. The move is part of a broader crackdown on the informal rental market on the islands.
