Japan logs its first ever 'cruelly hot day' as Gifu and Aichi hit 40°C

Japan recorded its first official kokushobi — "cruelly hot day" — since the designation for temperatures above 40°C was introduced by the Japan Meteorological Agency in April. On Tuesday, Gujo and Tajimi in Gifu prefecture and Toyota in Aichi prefecture all hit 40°C; Gujo's 40°C and Toyota's 40.1°C were all-time highs for their weather stations. Authorities advised workers to wear shorts to the office to cope with the extreme heat.

Do new official labels for extreme weather events help protect people?

16 million in England and Wales lack nearby 24/7 defibrillator access

16 million in England and Wales lack nearby 24/7 defibrillator access

Over 16 million people in England and Wales live more than a 1km round trip from the nearest 24/7 defibrillator, according to analysis by the Heart Restart campaign. In total, 35 million people — more than half the population — lack a defibrillator within a recommended 3–5 minute brisk walk. The UK sees over 40,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests annually, with fewer than one in ten people surviving. Early CPR and defibrillation can more than double survival chances.

Should the government be required to install defibrillators in every community?

Robotisation tax relief: firms can deduct 150% of costs, but only until end of 2026

Until the end of 2026, Polish companies can deduct 150% of robotisation expenditure from their taxable income. The Ministry of Finance has not yet decided whether to extend the relief beyond that date. A favourable ruling from an administrative court gives businesses an opportunity to use the preference more quickly.

Should the robotisation tax relief be extended beyond 2026?

Rally Poland: will home drivers match Spanish and Italian ERC wins?

This season's European Rally Championship has seen a clear home-driver advantage: Spaniards took the top two spots in the opening round, an Italian won on home soil, and Swedes fought at the front of the field in their round. The question now is whether Polish drivers can replicate those results at Rally Poland. No specific Polish contenders or results have yet been confirmed.

Do Polish drivers have a real chance of winning Rally Poland in the ERC?

Rebel Wilson wins defamation case brought by co-star Charlotte MacInnes

A judge has ruled that Rebel Wilson did not defame Australian actress Charlotte MacInnes in a series of social media posts. MacInnes had sued Wilson following public criticism related to "The Deb," Wilson's directorial debut in which MacInnes played the lead role. The bitter dispute between the two actors stretched across continents and lasted several years.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged he lacks the authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself, but called on US federal authorities to join the International Criminal Court and enforce the arrest warrant issued against Netanyahu. His appeal adds to an ongoing debate about whether the US should act on ICC rulings against leaders of allied nations.

Stephen Wolfram: the universe isn't random — it's driven by computational evolution

Physicist and Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe's complexity emerges from simple computational rules, much like biological complexity arises from evolution. He proposes that nature is neither random nor engineered, but governed by a principle he calls "computational irreducibility." The same rule that shapes living tissue and organisms is, he claims, a fundamental property of computation itself.

Coffee Grounds in the Toilet or on Plants? Here's Why It's a Mistake

Coffee grounds have many household and garden uses, but popular advice to flush them down the toilet or apply them directly to plants can cause more harm than good. In toilets they acidify pipes and cause blockages; on plants, excess grounds over-acidify the soil and harm many species. Safe uses include composting, deterring slugs and as a skin scrub.

Is common advice about using coffee grounds in the garden harmful?

HTX rotates crypto wallets to evade UK sanctions screening, TRM Labs says

Crypto exchange HTX is systematically rotating wallets to avoid detection by UK sanctions-screening systems, according to a TRM Labs report. UK authorities sanctioned HTX in May over its alleged role in helping Russia evade Western restrictions. The wallet-rotation method makes it harder for regulators to track transactions and enforce the sanctions.

Should crypto exchanges be subject to the same regulations as banks?

New iPhone to feature multiple batteries – hard evidence found

Hard evidence has emerged that the next iPhone will feature multiple separate batteries rather than a single cell. The multi-battery design is expected to improve energy management and extend the device's battery life. This would represent one of the most significant hardware changes in iPhone history.

Is a multi-battery design the iPhone upgrade users actually need?

A new study found that a single dose of psilocybin produced measurable changes in brain activity and possible structural changes lasting up to one month. Participants who showed the greatest increase in flexible, varied brain activity also reported more personal insight and subsequent improvements in well-being. Researchers suggest the psychedelic experience may help break entrenched thought patterns.
