IEA forecasts 0.5% drop in global gas demand in 2026

The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts a 0.5% drop in global gas demand in 2026, driven by higher prices and supply disruptions, according to its latest Gas Market Report. The agency describes this as a historically significant decline for the gas market. Rising costs are expected to dampen consumption across multiple regions.

Will falling gas demand accelerate the energy transition?

Morning, noon or evening? When a walk benefits you most

A morning walk energises and refreshes the body, an evening walk calms the nervous system and aids sleep, while a post-lunch walk supports digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Each time of day offers distinct benefits, and the best choice depends on individual needs and lifestyle.

Is a morning walk healthier than an evening walk?

Volhynia massacre anniversary: Prof. Motyka on Polish-Ukrainian tensions

On the anniversary of the Volhynia massacre, historian Prof. Grzegorz Motyka told TVN24 that the best path for Poland and Ukraine would be to pause and begin talks on de-escalating their strained relations. He stressed that Ukrainian UPA nationalists treated Poles as mortal enemies. Tensions between the two countries over commemorating the victims remain unresolved.

Should Poland and Ukraine prioritise resolving the Volhynia massacre dispute now?

Bitcoin's BIP 110 has zero miner support as fork deadline approaches

The BIP 110 proposal would cap arbitrary data on the Bitcoin network for one year, but it has so far attracted zero miner support as its fork deadline approaches. Prominent figures including Michael Saylor and Adam Back warn that turning a spam dispute into a consensus battle could pose a greater risk than the spam itself.

Should BIP 110 be implemented despite having zero miner support?

Pixelating faces no longer guarantees anonymity as AI can reconstruct them

Pixelating faces, long used to protect identities in photos and videos, is no longer a reliable anonymisation method. New AI-based techniques can reconstruct faces hidden by pixelation, undermining a widely trusted privacy tool.

Should online platforms ban pixelation as an anonymisation method?

China tests truck-mounted electromagnetic drone catapult that needs no runway

China's Beijing Institute of Technology released footage of three eight-wheeled trucks interlocking to form a road-mobile electromagnetic catapult capable of launching a propeller-driven drone without a runway. The system miniaturises the EMALS technology already used on China's newest aircraft carrier. Transported in standard shipping containers, it could theoretically be deployed anywhere in the world.

Top 3 foundations that don't melt in heat above 30°C

In temperatures above 30°C, matte full-coverage foundations perform best. The beauty editor recommends Lirene City Matt foundation (shades 204 and 208 Toffee among others), which absorbs excess sebum and keeps a matte finish all day without settling into wrinkles. It has been her personal favourite for 20 years and is often available on promotion.

Author Alice Lugen, whose books "Imperium gniewu" (Czarne, 2026) and "Zato" (Czarne, 2025) are published by Czarne, warns that post-Putin Russia will be difficult to understand and navigate. She argues that Russian society has been deeply shaped by Putinism, and that the anger cultivated there risks being directed at the West.

Communist-era Poland's iconic flavours: mortadella as pork chop, powdered orangeade eaten by the finger

Communist-era Polish cuisine was defined by creative substitutes born of scarcity: mortadella stood in for pork cutlets and powdered orangeade was eaten straight from the sachet with a finger. Hard, chewy sweets served at name-day parties left lasting — if painful — impressions on a generation. The era's improvised food culture has become a nostalgic touchstone for many Poles.

Do communist-era Polish flavours deserve a comeback in modern cuisine?

Ex-footballers show reduced brain volume and higher rates of depression, study finds

A new study has found evidence of reduced brain volume in former elite footballers, who also report difficulties with thinking and decision-making. The research shows that ex-footballers are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety than the general population. The findings suggest that years of professional football may have lasting neurological and mental health consequences.

Poland's golden age is ending — expert warns of a coming silver era

Poland's exceptional period of economic growth — dubbed its "golden age" — is coming to an end, economists warn. The country is entering a less dynamic "silver age", a result of missed structural opportunities and global economic shocks. The new economic order emerging from current turbulence will shape Poland's position for the next several decades.

Their solution anonymises sensitive information before it is sent to external language models. The developers stress that 100% cloud data security is impossible, summing it up as: "the safest cloud data is data that isn't there."

France declares 12 July Alfred Dreyfus Day to mark republic's antisemitic scandal

From 2025, France marks 12 July as Alfred Dreyfus Day, the anniversary of his rehabilitation after years of wrongful conviction for espionage. The national date commemorates the antisemitic hysteria of the late 19th century, the prioritising of army loyalty over truth, and a state that defended its own lie for years. The new commemoration falls two days before Bastille Day.

Was France right to make 12 July Alfred Dreyfus Day a national commemoration?

Scientists confirm that one or two cups a day is not harmful, and results suggest coffee may actually have a protective effect on the liver. The findings add to the ongoing scientific debate about coffee's health impact.
