In a chaotic and rain-soaked Basque derby, Real Sociedad earned a vital 3–2 victory over Athletic Club thanks to Jon Gorrotxategi’s stoppage-time winner — the first late goal ever to decide this historic rivalry. The match had everything: passion, heavy tackles, and five goals that captured the intensity of one of Spain’s fiercest but most respectful derbies. Gorrotxategi, a Real academy graduate from the border region of Gipuzkoa, became the unlikely hero when his scuffed first shot rebounded to him and he smashed the rebound home from close range in the 92nd minute. The game’s drama began much earlier when…
Fifteen Democratic governors in the U.S. have announced the formation of a new public‑health alliance. The initiative represents proactive state-level leadership in health policy and diverges from previous guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The alliance aims to coordinate strategies on public health priorities across participating states. By sharing best practices and resources, governors hope to improve responses to health challenges and strengthen community well-being. This move highlights the growing role of states in shaping healthcare policy. Analysts say state-level initiatives like this can complement federal programs while addressing local needs more directly. Governors involved…
Erling Haaland once again proved unstoppable as his brace helped Manchester City secure a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, lifting Pep Guardiola’s side to second in the Premier League table. The Norwegian struck twice in the first half, punishing Bournemouth’s high defensive line to take his league tally to 13 goals this season and 98 in 107 Premier League games. Nico O’Reilly added City’s third after the break, sealing a much-needed sixth win of the campaign. Bournemouth briefly equalised through Tyler Adams, capitalising on a Gianluigi Donnarumma handling error from a corner, but City quickly regained control. Phil Foden and Rayan…
Britain is one of the least “nature-connected” countries in the world, ranking 55th out of 61 nations in a new global study examining how people relate to the natural world. Researchers from the University of Derby and Austria surveyed 57,000 people and found that Nepal was the most nature-connected nation, followed by Iran, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. At the bottom were the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, and Spain. The study, published in Ambio, found that people in more spiritual or religious societies were more likely to feel close to nature, while countries with high urbanisation, income, and internet…
Enzo Maresca tore into Liam Delap after Chelsea’s dramatic 4-3 Carabao Cup win over Wolves, branding the striker’s red card “very stupid” and warning his young squad to “grow up.” Chelsea raced into a 3-0 half-time lead through Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, Estêvão, and Jamie Gittens, but nearly threw it away after Wolves mounted a spirited second-half comeback. David Møller Wolfe scored twice after Tolu Arokodare pulled one back, leaving Maresca furious at his team’s lapse in discipline. Delap, returning from injury, was sent off just 17 minutes after coming on for two rash challenges. “It’s embarrassing — two yellows…
A rare wolf spider species thought extinct in the UK has been found alive on the Isle of Wight, thrilling conservationists. The Aulonia albimana, now nicknamed the white-knuckled wolf spider for its pale leg joints, was rediscovered at the National Trust’s Newtown National Nature Reserve, more than a mile from where it was last recorded in 1985. Entomologists Mark Telfer and Graeme Lyons made the find in the final minutes of their survey at the remote site, which is accessible only by boat. “To find a species thought lost for 40 years is thrilling,” Telfer said. The rediscovery follows years…
Los Angeles FC star Son Heung-min ranks second only to Lionel Messi on Major League Soccer’s salary list after joining from Tottenham in August. Son earns $10.4 million in annual salary and $11.2 million in total compensation, trailing only Messi’s $12 million salary and $20.4 million total from Inter Miami. The South Korean forward has scored nine goals in 10 league games since his arrival.

Other top summer signings include Hirving “Chucky” Lozano ($7.6m, San Diego), Jonathan Bamba ($5.6m, Chicago), and…
New climate plans from more than 60 countries would cut global emissions by only 10% by 2035, about one-sixth of what’s needed to limit warming to 1.5C, a UN analysis shows. UN climate chief Simon Stiell said progress was being made but urged countries to “accelerate now.” Major emitters including China and the EU have yet to file updated plans, while the US pledge from Joe Biden’s term may lapse if Donald Trump exits the Paris deal again. The findings come ahead of Cop30 in Brazil, where leaders will seek stronger commitments and more funding for developing nations. Analysts warned…
Juventus have dismissed head coach Igor Tudor following an eight-match winless run in all competitions, the club announced on Monday. “Juventus FC announces that it has today relieved Igor Tudor of his duties as coach of the men’s first team, along with his staff,” read a club statement. Massimo Brambilla, coach of the reserve side, will take temporary charge ahead of Wednesday’s match against Udinese. Tudor, appointed in March to replace Thiago Motta, became Juventus’s first foreign manager since Didier Deschamps in 2006–07. A former Juve defender, Tudor had led the club to a fourth-place finish and Champions League qualification…
The US and China have reached a final agreement on the sale of TikTok’s US operations, treasury secretary Scott Bessent confirmed Sunday. Speaking on CBS’s Face the Nation, Bessent said the deal was completed in Madrid and will be formally approved when Donald Trump and Xi Jinping meet in South Korea later this week. Valued at $14 billion, the deal gives US and international investors about 65% ownership of TikTok’s American business, while ByteDance and Chinese investors will retain less than 20%. Oversight of the app’s algorithm will move to the new US-based board. The agreement follows years of political…
