Oscar Piastri delivered a flawless performance at the Dutch Grand Prix, taking pole-to-flag victory and opening up a 34-point lead in the Formula 1 drivers’ championship. The 24-year-old Australian remained unflappable through light rain, multiple safety car restarts, and relentless pressure from his McLaren teammate and closest rival, Lando Norris—who was ultimately forced to retire late in the race due to an oil leak. For Norris, the weekend ended in heartbreak. Running second with seven laps remaining, smoke filled his cockpit, forcing him to pull over.

Lead author Dr Yair Bannett, an assistant professor at Stanford University, called the findings “concerning,” noting that behavioural approaches have…

Court reinforces Congress’s tariff authority In a 7-4 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit declared the tariffs “invalid as contrary to law”. Judges rejected Trump’s argument that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act gave him authority. They emphasized that Congress holds the exclusive…

The findings indicate potential protective effects not only for older adults but also for younger adults, with cardiovascular risk reduction observed across different age groups. Experts say the effect may be related to lowering inflammation in the body caused by shingles, which can…
The United States has ended a decades-old tariff exemption that allowed imports under $800 to enter duty-free, marking a major shift for global e-commerce.

Analysts warn the change will raise prices, reduce consumer choice, and challenge small businesses. Katherine Theobalds, founder of Buenos Aires shoe brand Zou Xou, said: “It might be the end for us.” How…
