Argentina players brandish "Malvinas are Argentine" banner after 2-1 win over England

Argentina defeated England 2-1 in a thrilling match. After the final whistle, several players from Lionel Scaloni's squad ran across the pitch displaying a banner reading "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" (The Falklands are Argentine). The gesture sparked fierce condemnation from British media, who described it as a "disgusting political act".

Should footballers be allowed to make political statements on the pitch?

BBC confirms Doctor Who cancelled โ€” no new showrunner or Christmas special

The BBC has officially responded to the cancellation of Doctor Who, more than a month after the show was put out to competitive tender and ultimately axed. Contrary to earlier rumours, no Christmas special for 2026 was ever produced and no search for a new Time Lord took place. Outgoing showrunner Russell T. Davies had confirmed writing a Christmas script, but it will not be made.

Was the BBC right to cancel Doctor Who?

US diesel hits $5 a gallon again โ€” up 33% since the Iran war began

US diesel prices have hit $5 a gallon again, up 33% from when the Iran war started. Renewed fighting in the Persian Gulf and reduced refinery capacity are the main drivers. Prices first crossed the $5 mark in March, and the latest surge is squeezing transport and logistics costs nationwide.

Should the US boost domestic oil production to bring diesel prices down?

Ibisz's "Elixir Mล‚odoล›ci" drink in ลปabka stores posts weak sales since June launch

The "Elixir Mล‚odoล›ci" drink, created in partnership with TV presenter Krzysztof Ibisz and the ลปabka convenience store chain, went on sale in June 2026. So far the product has failed to make a commercial impact, with sales falling well short of expectations.

Do celebrity-branded drinks have a chance of long-term success in Poland?

UK regulator Ofcom launches investigation into TikTok age checks

UK media regulator Ofcom has launched an investigation into TikTok, focusing on how the platform verifies the ages of its users. The regulator says it has "very serious concerns" about the effectiveness of TikTok's age-checking systems. The probe comes a month after the UK government announced plans to ban social media access for under-16s.

Should social media be banned for under-16s?

Ex-NFZ chief Soล›nierz: Medical procedure pricing in Poland is total chaos

Andrzej Soล›nierz, former MP and head of the National Health Fund (NFZ), commented on reports of some doctors earning up to 240 zล‚oty per hour, calling the pricing of medical procedures in Poland "total chaos." He argues that as long as large sums of easy money circulate in the system for specific procedures, someone will always exploit it. Soล›nierz says the root problem lies in the structural design of healthcare financing.

Would capping doctors' hourly pay solve the problem of abuses in the NFZ?

Senate Democrats block record $1.15 trillion Pentagon budget bill

Senate Democrats have blocked a vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which included a record $1.15 trillion defence budget. The blockage could have knock-on effects for allied nations, including Poland, that depend on US military support and cooperation. The future of the bill remains uncertain.

Does blocking the Pentagon budget threaten Poland's security?

Modern Warfare 4 reveals Kill Block, its procedurally generated multiplayer arena

Infinity Ward has released a brief teaser for Kill Block, a new multiplayer mode in Modern Warfare 4. The arena is assembled from hundreds of different map variations, making it effectively a procedurally generated small map that changes each match. A full multiplayer gameplay reveal is scheduled for later this week.

Are procedurally generated maps a good direction for Call of Duty?

Asteroid 1998 SH2 may be a "dark comet" โ€” a threat to Earth?

The object 1998 SH2, catalogued as a standard asteroid since 1998, displayed orbital anomalies during its close approach in August 2025, triggering a new series of analyses. Scientists now suspect it may be a so-called dark comet โ€” an object with comet-like activity but no visible coma or tail. The finding forces a rethink of how Earth-threat assessments are made for similar objects.

Do near-Earth object monitoring systems urgently need upgrading?

Visa: stablecoins will power micro-payments in the AI agentic economy

Visa predicts that in the emerging era of AI agentic commerce, stablecoins will become a key settlement layer for micro-transactions. The company envisions a hybrid payment flow combining traditional card rails with stablecoin infrastructure at different stages of a task. This signals that Visa sees digital currencies not as a rival but as a complement to its own payment network.

Will stablecoins replace traditional card payments in AI-driven commerce?

Ex-nun Ewelina Muszyล„ska spent 8 years in a convent and left due to mobbing and toxic atmosphere

Ewelina Muszyล„ska spent eight years as a nun before leaving her convent due to mobbing and a toxic atmosphere. Speaking on the programme "Dzieล„ Dobry Wakacje," she described jealousy among sisters, the community's complete severance of contact after her departure, and the impossibility of suppressing natural human biology within convent walls. Her story offers a rare insight into life inside a female religious community.

Should the Church do more to protect nuns from mobbing?

China's rapid taxi electrification shields ride-hail fares from rising oil prices

China is increasingly shielding itself from the impact of rising oil prices caused by tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, thanks to the rapid electrification of taxis and ride-hailing vehicles. As a result, passenger fares are remaining low even as fuel costs climb. The finding comes from an analysis published by Reuters.

Is electrifying transport the most effective shield against oil price swings?

Mauritania: UNESCO-listed Sahara gem visited by fewer than 10,000 tourists a year

Mauritania, located in north-western Africa, covers over one million square kilometres, with 90% of its territory lying within the Sahara desert and a population of just five million. Despite boasting UNESCO-listed heritage sites, fewer than 10,000 tourists visit annually, making it one of the world's least-visited countries. It remains one of the last genuinely undiscovered travel destinations.

Should Mauritania actively promote itself as a tourist destination?

Are "hair croissants" an interesting culinary idea worth trying?

From lizard venom to weight-loss drugs โ€” the peptide era is reshaping medicine

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic trace their origins to research on venom from a lizard native to the Desert Southwest of the USA. They work by binding to albumin in fat tissue and slowly releasing a hormone into the bloodstream over several days, controlling weight and blood sugar. The health benefits continue to surprise doctors and patients, and experts believe the peptide era in medicine is only just beginning.

Should GLP-1 peptide drugs be available to everyone without a prescription?
