Russia has launched one of its largest overnight drone and missile barrages of the war against Ukraine, sending hundreds of attack drones and dozens of missiles across the country in the small hours of Saturday morning. Air raid sirens sounded from east to west as Ukrainian air defenses tried to absorb the blows and emergency crews rushed to damaged energy sites and rail lines. The strikes landed...

Over the last few days, global earthquake feeds have lit up with a higher-than-usual tally of daily tremors. Maps filled with colored dots have raced around social platforms, and phrases like “global seismic surge” and “Earth waking up” are back in circulation. A recent 24-hour window logged more than 500 earthquakes of magnitude 2 and above worldwide, a noticeable uptick from the previous couple...

Poundland has confirmed that more than 100 of its UK stores will shut as part of a sweeping restructuring plan, with closures running through this winter and into early 2026. For a chain that built its brand on ubiquity and bargain prices, the scale and speed of the retreat marks a turning point for Britain’s discount sector.

Engagement rumors around ex-footballer turned broadcaster Alex Scott and popstar Jess Glynne have kicked into overdrive. A flurry of romantic messages, on-air confessions of being “madly in love,” and playful talk about buying a ring have pushed fans to wonder whether one of Britain’s most high-profile queer couples is on the brink of making things official.

In early 2025, the waters between Santorini and Amorgos stopped being calm blue on a map and turned into the most closely watched patch of sea in Europe. A swarm of tens of thousands of earthquakes rattled the Cyclades, pushed Greece into emergency mode, and raised a blunt question: was this the prelude to a major tectonic rupture, a volcanic awakening, or both?

A deep Atlantic current that most people never see is starting to shape Europe’s most basic resource: water. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) moves heat and moisture toward Europe and helps set the rhythm of its rainfall. New modelling work shows that if this system were to collapse, large parts of Europe could face far more intense and persistent drought, lasting not just de...

Thirty years after launch, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory – SOHO – is still staring at the Sun from deep space and changing what scientists thought they knew about it. A mission designed for two years of solar watching has instead become the most prolific comet hunter in history and a quiet backbone of space-weather forecasting.

On the American right, few issues once seemed more settled than support for Israel. Now, the split between Candace Owens, the late Charlie Kirk, and the movement he built through Turning Point USA captures how that consensus is coming apart.

A Dystopian Classic That Still Resonates Today Imagine a world where every conversation is monitored, history is rewritten on a whim, and independent thought is a crime. This is the nightmare vision of George Orwell’s 1984 , a dystopian novel published in 1949 as a dire warning against totalitarianism. Orwell’s chilling tale introduced terms like “Big Brother” and “Thought Police” into our everyda...

A powerful US advisory panel has just voted to roll back a 30-year policy that all newborns should receive a hepatitis B vaccine at birth. The move is already rippling through public-health circles worldwide – and could reshape the global vaccine debate in ways that go far beyond one infection.

Washington’s new National Security Strategy has landed like a diplomatic grenade in Europe – accusing the continent of sliding towards “civilisational erasure” and openly backing nationalist movements to change its course.

The European Union has handed X (formerly Twitter) a landmark €120 million fine under the Digital Services Act — a move that Elon Musk’s supporters see less as a neutral enforcement action and more as a direct challenge to his experiment in freer, less centrally controlled online speech.

After years of saying she might never marry again, Miley Cyrus has confirmed she is engaged to musician Maxx Morando. The low-key relationship that quietly became one of her most stable now steps into the spotlight — complete with a serious diamond and a very Miley backstory.

The United States has quietly told European allies it expects them to take over most of NATO’s conventional defence role by 2027 – or risk a dramatic American pull-back. Behind the headlines, this is less a tantrum and more a hard deadline in a long-running argument over who pays for Europe’s security.

Beloved children’s presenter Ms Rachel has found herself at the centre of a fierce political storm. A pro-Israel advocacy group has put her on its “Antisemite of the Year” list – not for anything in her videos for toddlers, but for her public advocacy for children in Gaza. The backlash says as much about today’s culture wars as it does about her posts.

Beijing and Tokyo are locked in their sharpest diplomatic clash in years – and the trigger was a few sentences about Taiwan that go to the heart of Asia’s security order.

Scientists have engineered a nanometre-thin germanium layer on silicon that lets electric charge move faster than in any silicon-compatible material seen before — a quiet lab result that could reshape everything from smartphones to quantum computers.

OpenAI has signed a multibillion-dollar pact with Australian data-centre giant NEXTDC to build a hyperscale AI campus and GPU supercluster in western Sydney. It is a big bet on sovereign AI infrastructure, with implications for energy, geopolitics – and how countries like the UK position themselves in the global compute race.

Demand for AI servers and a rebound in consumer electronics are colliding, creating a short, sharp squeeze in global memory-chip supplies – with big implications for prices, product launches, and the next wave of AI hardware.

Edinburgh Airport was plunged into sudden chaos after an air traffic control IT failure forced all flights to be suspended, leaving planes on the tarmac, passengers diverted mid-air, and thousands of journeys thrown into doubt — even after services technically resumed.

Russia has openly backed India’s energy needs, promising to keep the oil, gas and nuclear fuel flowing – even as Donald Trump tries to turn Russian crude into a pressure point on New Delhi.

For a couple of hours on Friday morning, it felt as if “the internet” itself had crashed. A single provider—Cloudflare—went down, and with it went Zoom calls, LinkedIn feeds, food deliveries, gaming servers and even transport sites millions rely on every day.

Leaked notes from a call between European leaders and Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggest the United States may be preparing to push a territorial deal on Ukraine without firm security guarantees – reviving old European doubts about Washington’s reliability and forcing difficult choices in London, Paris, Berlin and Kyiv.

Investors are now betting heavily that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again in December, forcing a rapid repricing across bonds, equities, currencies and commodities – with big implications for the UK and the rest of the world.

Israel has pulled troops back to a “yellow line” inside Gaza under a US-brokered ceasefire. But continued airstrikes, a shifting map on the ground, and fresh attacks in Lebanon show how fragile the truce really is – and how much of Gaza’s future is being decided right now.
