Gas prices in the United States have dropped to their lowest level in four years, offering relief to drivers and families nationwide. The decline comes amid strong domestic energy production and easing global oil costs. President Donald Trump welcomed the drop, saying it helps American families and strengthens the economy. “Lower gas prices put more money back into people’s pockets,” he said. “This is good news for every American.” The national average price for regular gasoline recently fell below $3 per gallon, a level not seen since 2021. The trend is helping consumers save on travel and daily transportation expenses.…

Millions of young people could miss out on safe and effective treatments because too few take part in medical research, new data shows. People aged 18–24 make up 8% of England’s population but only 4.4% of clinical trial participants, according to the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). Experts warn that without their involvement, future treatments may not meet young people’s needs. “Young adults face distinct health challenges, from mental health to chronic conditions like asthma and diabetes,” said Kirsty Blenkins of the Association for Young People’s Health. “If research excludes them, treatments may be unsafe or ineffective.”…

Boeing 747 overshoots runway during pre-dawn landingA tragic runway accident at Hong Kong International Airport left two airport staff members dead after a Boeing 747 cargo jet ran off the runway and plunged into the sea early Monday morning. The freighter, operated by Turkey-based ACT Airlines on behalf of Emirates SkyCargo, had arrived from Dubai and was attempting to land on the north runway around 3:50 a.m. local time when it overshot the tarmac. The aircraft smashed through a fence, collided with a patrol vehicle, and came to rest with its nose submerged offshore. All four crew members escaped the…

After 11 months and 35 matches, Rúben Amorim finally delivered a breakthrough for Manchester United. The Portuguese coach had once described his team as “maybe the worst in the club’s history.” Criticism mounted, his job appeared fragile, and only minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s public backing kept him in place. Then came Anfield — the home of United’s fiercest rivals. There, Amorim’s squad showed resilience, determination, and belief. A victory forged through courage This was no fluke like last December’s shock at Manchester City. United started with intensity and focus. Bryan Mbeumo scored early, giving the team confidence, and they…

A new “smart jab” has shown remarkable results in shrinking head and neck cancer tumours within six weeks, offering new hope for patients with hard-to-treat cases. The drug, amivantamab, is a triple-action therapy delivered as a simple injection under the skin. It targets two key cancer pathways while also helping the immune system attack tumours. Early trial results suggest it could transform treatment for patients whose cancer has returned or spread after chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The findings, presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology conference in Berlin, showed that 76% of patients in the trial saw their tumours shrink…

Market Reaches a Period of CalmAfter several volatile years, Europe’s automotive sector appears to have regained equilibrium. Figures released by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) show that car registrations across the European Union have remained largely unchanged in 2025, marking the end of a prolonged decline. The turnaround reflects improved supply conditions, stable energy prices, and more predictable consumer spending. Electric vehicles continue to drive momentum, representing roughly one-fifth of all new car purchases, as government incentives and charging network expansions fuel adoption across major economies. Chinese EV Makers Deepen Their PresenceAs the European market steadies, Chinese carmakers are…

Afghanistan and Pakistan agreed to hold new peace talks in Qatar to set lasting peace terms after a deadly week of cross-border fighting. The clashes killed dozens and wounded hundreds, marking the most violent confrontation between the two nations in years.

They also planned more meetings soon to maintain the truce. Turkish negotiators actively supported the peace deal. Violence had grown rapidly since early this month, with each side accusing the other of aggression. Afghanistan…

When Kerry Dunstan and his partner went car shopping this summer, one question guided them: “How’s the battery?” They discovered a 2021 Nissan Leaf with 29,000 miles. The dealer said its state of health (SOH) was 93%. That convinced them. For £12,500, they bought a practical, spacious EV with room for passengers and luggage. Dunstan, a cabinetmaker who also owns a stylish electric Volvo SUV, admits the Leaf doesn’t excite him. “I like cars with energy and character – this one’s a bit flat,” he says. Still, he’s satisfied. “It has performed exactly as I expected,” he adds. Battery health…

Advanced Systems Restore Efficiency to Aging FacilitiesEuropean energy companies are undertaking a digital transformation of long-standing power stations to keep pace with modern demands. Across France, Germany, and Italy, older plants are being equipped with sophisticated monitoring devices, automated controls, and predictive software. These systems give operators a clearer view of real-time performance, allowing them to schedule maintenance proactively and reduce unexpected shutdowns. Engineering giants such as Siemens Energy and GE Vernova are partnering with utilities on large-scale retrofits designed to extend plant life, cut emissions, and deliver operational improvements without the cost of full reconstruction. Digital Upgrades Enhance Flexibility…

Americans filled streets across the country on Saturday for “No Kings” demonstrations, protesting President Donald Trump’s leadership and policies. More than 2,600 rallies took place nationwide, drawing thousands to New York, Washington, Boston, and Chicago. By noon, Times Square and the nation’s capital swelled with protesters chanting, “Trump must go now!” They waved bold, often profane signs denouncing Trump’s immigration crackdowns and authoritarian behavior. Demonstrators carried banners reading “Nothing is more patriotic than protesting” and “Resist Fascism.” Many turned the rallies into celebrations, with marching bands, a massive “We The People” banner, and frog-costumed protesters — a symbol of resistance…
