Last month, I found myself at a friend's dinner table, surrounded by strangers. What started as polite small talk about the weather quickly evolved into a fascinating discussion about urban development, the role of art in society, and how different countries approach healthcare. Three hours flew by. Walking home that night, I realized something. The people who seemed most at ease weren't necessarily the ones with the most degrees or the fanciest job titles.
A 'fairy whisperer' who sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl on a flight to Boston bizarrely claims he has no recollection of the attack because he had a few whiskeys, his drink was spiked and he got a kick in the head from a horse.
We begin our coverage with the downhill aspect of the women's team combined, a new event that those who enjoyed it yesterday know is a terrific addition; the slalom section comes later in the day. In the meantime, we've got the men's slopestyle final in the freeski, USA's Alex Hall hoping to retain his title; his mum is from nearby Bologna, so he'll have family watching, presumably a far scarier proposition than twizzling upside down a million miles in the air.
At the beginning, the 33yearold says, the big thing was, always, physically can she do it? Will she be able to keep up with the men's game? What happens if she gets knocked over? Is her rugby knowledge there? How will players and fans react to her? That sexism is still there at points, but people now just want to see a game being well refereed. There was no such acceptance at the start of her career in 2015.
Kids and clean cars don't mix. Between snack crumbs, stray toys, and sticky fingerprints, your backseat can feel like a disaster zone. No matter how often you tidy up, the mess always returns. So how to keep the car clean? But a messy car doesn't have to be your reality! With simple systems and quick clean-up habits, you can keep things under control. The key is working with the chaos instead of against it -because kids will always make a mess.
Chick-fil-A is currently in the midst of its second attempt to break into the UK chicken market. Back in 2019 the chain opened locations in Reading and Aviemore, Scotland, but both branches shut following backlash and a campaign by LGBTQ+ activists. T he company has a controversial history of donating to anti-LGBTQ+ organisations, and the then-CEO made public statements opposing same-sex marriage. Find out all about that controversy here.

EUR/USD recorded its second consecutive recovery session, currently trading around the 1.1900-1.1920 range, as the US dollar weakened again and US Treasury yields moderated. This rebound reflects an adjustment in market expectations regarding monetary policy, as investors temporarily reduced USD holdings ahead of a series of key economic data releases. From the Eurozone side, fundamental factors have generally yet to show a clear improvement.
They pointed to weak oil revenue, which crashed by 50% in January from a year earlier, and a budget deficit that continues to widen, even after Putin hiked taxes on consumers. A Moscow business executive also told the Post that the crisis could arrive in "three or four months" amid spiraling inflation, adding that restaurants have been closing and thousands of workers are getting laid off.
The ministry announced Mona Juul's resignation on Sunday evening, days after she was suspended as Norway's ambassador to Jordan. That followed reports that Epstein left the children of Juul and her husband, Terje Rd-Larsen, $10 million in a will drawn up shortly before his death by suicide in a New York prison in 2019. Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said Juul's decision was correct and necessary.
The agency, known as the FSB, also released more surveillance video footage, including a nearly minute-long clip in which the alleged shooter -- identified as 65-year-old Lyubomir Korba -- was shown confessing to the crime. In the video, which could be not be independently verified, the man said he was recruited by Ukraine's SBU security agency in August 2025 in the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil, and underwent training in Kyiv. He said he was promised $30,000 in cryptocurrency if he killed Alekseyev.
Because Meta is a "gatekeeper" of a large platform according to the Digital Markets Act, it must allow integrations with WhatsApp. Currently, the Meta AI chatbot has an advantage within WhatsApp. It is a separate button within the application just above the shortcut key for writing a message. The European Commission wants to change this. It seems that the European government agency is aiming for a solution similar to what once applied to internet browsers on Windows: a selection screen.
I open the faucet and water gushes out, frothing as it fills a bright blue twenty-litre plastic jug, its faded sticker declaring BUILT TOUGH. You've probably seen one in the outdoors aisle at Canadian Tire: a cubic jug with a red or white screw-top faucet and a built-in handle for convenience. Most Canadians would associate the blue jug with camping trips.
For a performance that otherwise felt very intentional, Gaga's part felt thematically random. About five minutes into Bad Bunny's performance, Lady Gaga materialized out of the blue to sing a salsa-inspired rendition of "Die With a Smile," her popular duet with Bruno Mars from her latest album, "Mayhem." It was a strange choice that, while entertaining enough, felt out of step with the rest of the Puerto Rican superstar's performance.
Paris didn't invent shopping (even if it sometimes feels that way), but it arguably invented the specialty shop as we understand it today. Long before concept stores, lifestyle retail, or anything resembling "curation" entered the vocabulary, Paris was already organized around doing one thing extremely well -and it still is. From cheesemongers to winemakers and beyond, specialization remains the point.
The body of Stephen Ring was discovered in Carrigfoyle Quarry nearly two weeks after he disappeared A woman who helped to dump a man's body in a quarry "like a piece of rubbish" and later went on social media to express concern for his wellbeing has been jailed for six years. Mr Justice Kerida Naidoo at the Central Criminal Court today said the defendant, Jane Corcoran (34), lied to gardai about the circumstances surrounding the death and disappearance of Stephen Ring in 2024.
The European Commission has sent a Statement of Objections to Meta, setting out its preliminary view that Meta breached EU antitrust rules by excluding third-party Artificial Intelligence ('AI') assistants from accessing and interacting with users on WhatsApp. Meta's conduct risks blocking competitors from entering or expanding in the rapidly growing market for AI assistants.
