Campaigners criticise C of E for failing to show moral leadership as one of country’s biggest landowners The Church of England has voted against plans to restore 30% of its land for nature, with campaigners criticising its failure to show moral leadership.

GenCost report contradicts parties’ claims about abandoning emissions target, and finds nuclear would be most expensive way to generate power Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our breaking news email , free app or daily news podcast Claims by the Coalition and One Nation that abandoning a net zero climate target would bring down power prices are contradicted in a new CSIRO report on the costs of generating electricity. Generation costs will probably rise after 2030 regardless of Australia’s policy on net zero , according to the CSIRO’s annual GenCost report, but prices should then stabilise at levels below recent price spikes.

El Niño climate phenomenon heating waters off Mexico but incidents with humans remain a rarity California is set to see one of its sharkiest summers in a decade, with large numbers of juvenile great whites already on a reverse vacation from the warm waters of Mexico to cooler pastures along the western United States. The marine predator has become more common along the west coast in recent years, with stories of surfers seeing underwater behemoths closer to shore and scientists saying swimmers and ocean-lovers alike are probably already sharing their favorite beaches with great whites, whether they know it or not.

New research suggests NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which […]
K2-18b is one of the most promising worlds for the search for extraterrestrial life, so astronomers conducted an unusually powerful radio survey using both the VLA and MeerKAT telescopes. Advanced software analyzed millions of signals, filtering out Earth-based interference and other false positives. No convincing artificial radio transmissions were found, but the project demonstrated a powerful new approach that will make future SETI searches faster and far more effective.
Researchers found that semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, slowed biological aging markers in adults with HIV, marking the first clinical evidence that the drug may influence human aging.

There are few reasons why one would come all the way to Al-Ghayl, a village in the Al-Aflaj Governorate, around 300 kilometers from Saudi Arabia’s capital city Riyadh. Perhaps you’re a fan of “Layla and Majnun,” a love story that has reminded many of “Romeo and Juliet” (although, unlike the Shakespearian tragedy, it actually took place some 1,300 years ago). Or, maybe, you’re just briefly stopping here before traveling to Abha. But, even then, you’d be calling at a town named “Layla,” situated on the highway... whereas Al-Ghayl remains hidden away from the main road, around 40 minutes by car from Layla, well into the Aflaj countryside. Anyway, if you really decide to go to Al-Ghayl, you’ll find the ruins of what was once an imposing palace, perched atop a hill, overlooking the town…

The lesser-known of just two Japanese Gardens in Ireland, the Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens are an enchanting homage to a remarkable writer, traveler and man of the world, and a tranquil place of great curation and beauty. His relative anonymity is reflected in the location of the garden, tucked away behind a high stone wall on a quiet side-street in Tramore. Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was of Irish-Greek descent, spending his childhood summers in this seaside town, before making a name for himself as a journalist and travel writer in the States. He was lauded as both an engaging storyteller, and an astute chronicler of place and society. While he remains relatively unknown in Ireland, he is still widely celebrated in his adopted country of Japan. Described as his 'living biography',…
From centuries-old crafts to surprisingly niche professions, these jobs reveal a side of Italy most travelers never see.
Consider this a spectacular telling-off for anyone tempted to cast Spain as underdogs. How they enjoyed dishing the lesson out here, booking a showdown in New Jersey on Sunday and reducing France to passengers. Didier Deschamps’ team had been billed as champions elect but their feted attack was never in the game. For Kylian Mbappé it will be another four-year wait to conquer the globe; he was an isolated figure, snuffed out by opponents who completely dictated after going ahead. Spain could partly thank Lucas Digne for terrible defending that conceded a penalty midway through the first half, even if there were some doubts about the award’s validity. Mikel Oyarzabal converted emphatically and the jeopardy thereafter was entirely superficial. Pedro Porro’s slickly-worked second settled the…

Mexico 1986, France 1998, Japan 2002 … this is a match that transcends, with Argentina’s head coach Lionel Scaloni calling for the focus to be on football, not the Falklands After confirmation that match 102, one of the World Cup semi-finals, would be England v Argentina, the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas conflict was mentioned at Lionel Scaloni’s press conference. “No, no, no,” the Argentina head coach tut-tutted emphatically. “This is just a football match. Let’s not look for other stuff. It’s a football game against a great team, with a great manager who I admire. But it’s a football match. End of.” The Argentina midfielder Rodrigo De Paul concurred: “We understand it’s a football game that transcends; it brings back memories of what Diego did. We sing songs about our Malvinas heroes,…
Bellingham has transcended the hostility he has faced from press and pundits to become the emotional and symbolic focal point of the team Months before the World Cup, the familiar chorus of antipathy that had followed Jude Bellingham almost since his emergence on the international stage grew louder. A number of writers, pundits and former professionals questioned whether one of England’s most gifted footballers might prove detrimental to the squad’s harmony. The clearest expression of these arguments appeared in a Daily Mail article in November 2025 beneath one of the most ignominious headlines in English footballing history: “Leave Jude at home.” Amid a wave of criticism directed at Bellingham, Ian Wright felt compelled to defend him on an episode of Stick to Football . Once clipped,…

His playing career peaked at Accrington Stanley - now Anthony Barry is Thomas Tuchel's right-hand man in England's bid for World Cup glory.
The striker is driven by a sense of destiny but to be remembered as an all-time great outside England requires big-game performances Five days to win the Ballon d’Or. The way to do it: outshine Lionel Messi in Atlanta, then see off Kylian Mbappé or Lamine Yamal on Sunday. For Harry Kane, nothing will come without a fight. The England captain was doubted when he was a kid, back when the youth coaches at Tottenham wondered if it was worth keeping him, and he faces another seismic battle against Argentina on Wednesday. This could be the crowning moment of Kane’s career. The Bayern Munich striker has enjoyed the season of his life, with more domestic trophies in the bag and 73 goals in 64 appearances for club and country. There are more steps to take, though. The chance to lead England into…
