Binance shuts EU services, EthLabs launches to boost Ethereum adoption

Binance has shut down its services in the European Union after failing to secure the necessary regulatory licence. Meanwhile, BitMine and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin have backed a new non-profit called EthLabs, aimed at spurring adoption of the Ethereum network. The developments are among the top crypto stories from June 14–28.

Are EU crypto regulations too strict for exchanges like Binance?

27,500-Year-Old Teen Mauled by Bear Received Paleolithic Mourning Ritual

Around 27,500 years ago, a 15-year-old boy was fatally mauled by a bear at Arene Candide cave in Liguria, Italy, suffering severe injuries to his jaw, neck and left shoulder. Evidence from the site suggests he was not alone when he died and that his community performed mourning rituals. This is considered the oldest known evidence that Paleolithic humans grieved in ways comparable to modern humans.

Do mourning rituals prove Paleolithic humans had fully modern consciousness?

How Kawasaki Tamed the H2 'Widowmaker' — and Lost What Made It Special

Kawasaki's H2 was the fastest and most feared motorcycle of the 1970s, nicknamed the 'Widowmaker' for its unpredictable handling. The company eventually engineered out its dangerous traits, making the bike more controllable. However, purists argue that in doing so Kawasaki stripped the H2 of the raw, uncompromising character that made it legendary.

Should motorcycle makers sacrifice raw character for safety?

China's Tech Boom Is Distorting Its Energy Demand Forecasts

A top Chinese government official has acknowledged growing uncertainty in energy demand forecasting, driven by structural shifts in the economy and the rapid expansion of new technology industries. These changes are reshaping how and where energy is consumed across China, complicating long-term planning. The official's remarks highlight the challenges Beijing faces in aligning energy policy with its fast-evolving industrial base.

Should China slow its tech expansion to stabilise energy demand?

Preliminary results from Sunday's elections in New Caledonia show that parties opposing independence from France strengthened their positions in the local parliament. However, they did not secure an outright majority. Pro-independence parties suffered a setback, leaving the territory's political landscape fragmented without a dominant bloc.

Should New Caledonia become independent from France?

German tourism industry calls for less red tape and more political recognition

German tourism industry representatives are calling for reduced bureaucracy and greater political recognition. They argue that tourism creates jobs, stabilises economies, and can help counter social radicalisation. The sector wants to be seen not merely as a leisure industry but as a key part of development and security policy.

Should tourism be treated as part of national security policy?

Salman Rushdie jokes about death at Babell Festival, discusses 2022 knife attack

Salman Rushdie appeared at the inaugural Babell Literary and Cultural Festival in Porto, Portugal, joking about death during a sold-out Q&A: "I'd prefer not to." The Indian-born British-American novelist reflected on his 2022 knife attack and explained his disinterest in writing polemical fiction. He indicated a preference for literature rooted in human experience over ideological debate.

Australia's social media ban for children is failing, yet government wants to tighten it

Australia's ban on social media use by children has proven ineffective and, according to critics, has primarily built a surveillance infrastructure rather than protecting minors. Despite the lack of results, the government is pushing for even stricter regulations instead of reconsidering the approach. Commentators say the failure was entirely predictable from the outset.

Should the government tighten the social media ban for children?

170,000 people in England to die from obesity-linked heart disease by 2035

The British Heart Foundation projects that around 170,000 people in England will die from obesity-linked cardiovascular disease by 2035 — roughly 45 deaths per day. Currently, two in three UK adults live with obesity. Globally, more than half of adults and a third of children are projected to be overweight or obese by 2050.

Should the government impose a tax on high-calorie food to curb obesity?

Moaning During Sex Doesn't Always Mean Orgasm, Experts Say

Sounds made during sex — moaning, screaming or heavy breathing — do not always signal an orgasm, and can also indicate tension, a message to a partner or even discomfort. Experts warn that assuming loudness equals satisfaction is one of the most common mistakes couples make. Open communication about feelings and experiences is essential for a fulfilling sex life.

Do couples communicate openly enough about sex?

💡 Did You Know

"Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" may have dark prison origins

The nursery rhyme "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" has seemingly innocent lyrics, but its theorised origin is surprisingly dark. One leading theory links it to HM Prison Wakefield in England, where female inmates allegedly walked around a mulberry bush in the prison yard. Historians have not definitively confirmed the theory, but the rhyme joins a long list of children's songs suspected to have troubling roots.

Should the dark origins of nursery rhymes affect how we teach them to children?

Ground-Penetrating Radar Study Reveals Secrets of Europa's Ice Shell

Jupiter's moon Europa hosts a subsurface ocean estimated to contain roughly twice the water of all Earth's oceans combined, making it a prime target in the search for extraterrestrial life. A new ground-penetrating radar study has shed light on the structure of Europa's ice shell, bringing scientists closer to understanding what lies beneath. Researchers are eager to determine whether the moon's ocean could support life as we know it, or in forms yet unknown.

Should the search for life on Europa be NASA's top priority?

Gold Falls Near $4,000 as US-Iran Clashes Reignite Inflation Fears

Gold fell to near $4,000 per ounce after the US and Iran exchanged attacks in the Persian Gulf, straining a ceasefire that had previously pushed energy prices back to pre-war levels. The earlier calm had helped temper expectations of an interest-rate hike, but renewed hostilities have revived inflation concerns. Investors are reassessing risk as the conflict shows signs of escalating again.

Are US strikes on Iran justified given the threat to oil supplies?
