Mystery Evidence Halts Historic US Lockerbie Trial at the Eleventh Hour A trial that was supposed to open an unprecedented American courtroom reckoning over the Lockerbie bombing has been stopped just before jury selection after the discovery of new evidence. Abu Agila Mohammad Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi, the Libyan man accused by US prosecutors of helping construct the bomb that destroyed Pan Am Flig...

From Emperor To Mao In 38 Years Of Chaos China did not become communist in a single uprising, and Mao Zedong did not suddenly seize a stable country in 1949. The revolution that created modern China was the culmination of almost four decades of collapsing imperial authority, failed republican government, foreign invasion, warlord rule, ideological conflict and one of the largest civil wars of the...

The Fall Of Imperial Russia: How Lenin And The Bolsheviks Took Power The Russian Revolution was not one sudden uprising in which Vladimir Lenin appeared, overthrew Tsar Nicholas II and created communism. It was a chain reaction: decades of political resentment, an earlier revolution in 1905, catastrophic war, economic breakdown, the collapse of the monarchy, a failed attempt at democratic governme...

Could Walt Have Got Away With Everything? Walter White came astonishingly close to winning Breaking Bad . By the time Hank Schrader picked up Leaves of Grass in Walt’s bathroom and noticed Gale Boetticher’s inscription, the meth empire was effectively over. Walt had made an extraordinary fortune, stopped cooking, returned to the car wash and appeared ready to spend whatever remained of his life wi...

Game Of Thrones ended with something that almost never lasts in Westeros: peace. Daenerys Targaryen was dead, the Iron Throne was molten metal, the Night King had been destroyed, the North was independent and Bran Stark had been elected ruler of the remaining Six Kingdoms. But the finale was an ending to the characters' immediate wars, not necessarily to Westerosi history. Bran had no conventi...

The most likely future of Succession is not Kendall Roy eventually making his triumphant return, Shiv secretly taking control through Tom, or Roman suddenly discovering that he was the most talented Roy all along. It is considerably sadder than that. Ten years after the GoJo takeover, the Roy children are almost certainly still extraordinarily rich, famous and connected. They can buy companies, fu...

The Real Succession: New Court Files Expose The Battle For Rupert Murdoch’s Empire Rupert Murdoch’s succession battle is no longer merely a story about which son he preferred. Newly unsealed court findings reveal an organised attempt to ensure Lachlan Murdoch’s control of the family’s media interests could not be overturned after Rupert’s death, while also casting fresh doubt on some of the suspic...

The Economy After the Paycheque Artificial intelligence does not have to eliminate every job to transform the economic system. If businesses can eventually produce more goods, services, software and knowledge with fewer hours of human labour, the question stops being simply whether AI can do a person's job. It becomes something more fundamental: if fewer people receive salaries, who has enough...

The Data Centre Leaving Earth The artificial intelligence boom is beginning to collide with the physical limits of Earth. AI needs enormous quantities of electricity, cooling infrastructure, land, advanced chips and increasingly expensive data centres — and one startup believes the answer is to move part of that infrastructure off the planet entirely. Starcloud has now raised another $250 million...

Arsenal’s £55m Defensive Statement Arsenal have completed the signing of England defender Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa in a deal reportedly worth up to £55 million, adding another proven Premier League player to a squad already trying to defend its title.

Prince Harry’s War With The Press Just Became An Extremely Expensive Defeat Prince Harry’s years-long campaign against sections of the British press has suffered one of its most expensive setbacks yet. The Duke of Sussex and six other high-profile claimants have been ordered to make an interim payment of about £9.54 million towards Associated Newspapers’ legal costs after their privacy claims were...

Inside The New Space Race China is preparing one of its most ambitious lunar missions yet: sending a robotic spacecraft into the Moon's south polar region to search directly for water ice hidden inside craters that have barely, if ever, seen sunlight. Chang'e-7 is expected to launch from China's Wenchang spaceport during the second half of 2026, with its launch vehicle and spacecraft a...

Ebola Is Spreading Faster Than The Response More than 2,500 people have now died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Ebola outbreak, and the most disturbing number may be how quickly that total is rising. The United Nations says roughly half of those deaths occurred during the past 20 days as the epidemic expands through an enormous swathe of the country. The outbreak has become the largest...

The Attack At Brinellskolan Several people have been injured after an attacker armed with a sword entered a high school in central Sweden, triggering a major police operation and security lockdowns across Fagersta. A male suspect has been taken into custody following the attack at Brinellskolan on Friday, August 21. Police were called shortly after 2pm local time and initially responded to reports...

The Biggest Risks Are Usually Not Exotic Living longer is often sold as a complicated project involving supplements, expensive testing and cutting-edge medicine. But decades of public-health research point towards a much less glamorous reality: some of the biggest influences on lifespan are behaviours repeated quietly for years. No ranking can predict exactly how many years a particular habit will...

Most Evidence-Backed Supplements For Your Brain The nootropics industry is packed with extraordinary promises. Capsules claim to sharpen memory, increase concentration, accelerate learning and unlock mental performance that ordinary food supposedly cannot provide. The scientific evidence is much less spectacular — but also considerably more interesting. A small group of compounds really have produ...

Struggling To Sleep? Sleep advice is everywhere. Magnesium drinks, expensive mattresses, blue-light glasses, herbal teas, breathing exercises and increasingly elaborate bedtime routines all promise a better night. The problem is that the scientific evidence behind them varies enormously. Some interventions have been tested repeatedly in randomised controlled trials and are recommended by major med...

The Longevity Habits That Actually Work The longevity industry is booming. Supplements, fasting protocols, cold plunges, biological-age tests and expensive anti-ageing treatments increasingly promise to help people squeeze more years from the human body. Yet the strongest scientific evidence points towards something considerably less exotic. If the objective is not merely to feel healthier but to...

Eric Swalwell’s Political Collapse Deepens Former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell is facing a dramatic new escalation in the criminal investigation surrounding allegations of sexual misconduct after federal agents seized his electronic devices and searched his Washington, D.C. home.

DOJ Turns Mar-a-Lago Search Back On The FBI As Trump Investigation Widens The FBI search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was once one of the most dramatic moments in the federal investigations surrounding him. Four years later, the tables have turned: Justice Department investigators are now seeking interviews with FBI officials involved in the operation as part of a much broader examination o...

Which Supplements Really Work? The Top 10 Ranked By Evidence The supplement industry is worth billions, yet the uncomfortable truth is that many products sold with extraordinary promises produce either tiny benefits or no meaningful benefit at all. Fat burners, testosterone boosters, detox tablets, “brain enhancers” and exotic herbal blends often have far weaker evidence than their advertising sug...

Trump And Michael Cohen Reunite After Years Of War — And Their Extraordinary Conversation Changes Everything Donald Trump and Michael Cohen have just staged one of the most remarkable reconciliations in modern American politics.

Ukraine’s Lost Territory Is At The Centre Of The Deal Russia has opened the door to another attempt at ending the war in Ukraine, but Moscow has attached a condition capable of derailing negotiations before they properly restart. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov says Russia is willing to listen to new proposals, provided they respect Moscow’s objectives and recognise what the Kremlin describ...
