Espanyol secured a 2-1 victory over Sevilla in their latest La Liga clash, with goals from Pere Milla and Roberto Fernandez giving the hosts all three points. Sevilla’s Marcao was the lone scorer for the visitors. Nigerian striker Akor Adams had a quiet game, failing to make a significant impact. He completed 10 passes, created one chance, had two shots on target, and was dispossessed three times. With only two goals in 11 La Liga appearances this season, Adams will need to improve his performances moving forward. Sevilla’s next La Liga fixture is a local derby against Real Betis on...

France Arrests People Including Two Russians Suspected For Espionage
Four people have been charged in Paris over suspected Russia-linked espionage and interference, in a case that ties economic intelligence gathering to pro-Russia posters placed on the Arc de Triomphe. Prosecutors said three suspects have been detained and a fourth placed under strict judicial supervision. The prosecutor’s office identified one of the individuals as Anna N, a dual French-Russian national who has been under the surveillance of France’s DGSI domestic intelligence agency since January on the belief she was gathering intelligence. “In particular, she was suspected of having approached executives of various French companies in order to obtain information relating...
UN Food Agency Projects Northern Nigeria To Experience Hunger At Unprecedented Level In 2026
A spike in attacks by militants across northern Nigeria is “driving hunger to levels never seen before” and is expected to result in the worst levels of food insecurity in Africa next year, according to a World Food Programme report released Tuesday. The food agency of the United Nations projected 35 million people are likely to experience severe hunger in Nigeria by 2026, the highest on the continent and the largest since the agency began recording data in Nigeria. The WFP also predicted at least 15,000 people in Borno state, the epicenter of Nigeria’s security crisis, will experience catastrophic hunger...
The Miami Project To Cure Paralysis Follows Science And Steady Funding To A Broader Mission
Marc Buoniconti said his father, the late NFL Hall of Famer Nick Buoniconti, explained the secret to the success of their nonprofit and its fundraising efforts simply: “We’re just not good listeners.” In the 40 years since Marc Buoniconti, then a college football linebacker at the Citadel, was paralyzed during a routine tackle, they have been told countless times that it was a problem that couldn’t be fixed. The Buonicontis didn’t listen. Instead, through the fund that bears their name, they have helped raise more than $550 million for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, and improved the lives of millions...
New study shows Adolescence lasts into 30s –
The brain goes through five distinct phases in life, with key turning points at ages nine, 32, 66 and 83, scientists have revealed. Around 4,000 people up to the age of 90 had scans to reveal the connections between their brain cells. Researchers at the University of Cambridge showed that the brain stays in the adolescent phase until our early thirties when we “peak”. They say the results could help us understand why the risk of mental health disorders and dementia varies through life. The brain is constantly changing in response to new knowledge and experience – but the research...
Hamas To Return Israeli Hostage’s Body, Part Of Fragile Ceasefire
Hamas says it will return the body of an Israeli hostage Tuesday, part of last month’s fragile ceasefire that has held despite Israeli strikes on Gaza, mounting Palestinian casualties, and mutual accusations of violations. Palestinian Islamic Jihad announced it found the body earlier this week in Nuseirat, a refugee camp in central Gaza. The body will be handed to the International Committee of the Red Cross on Tuesday afternoon, Hamas said on Telegram. Palestinian militants have released the bodies of 25 hostages since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire started on Oct. 10. Three are believed to still be in Gaza. The process has been...
Jakarta, The World New Largest City
Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, tops a ranking that is increasingly dominated by Asia. It edged out Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, and Japan’s Tokyo to earn the title in a new United Nations report. With an estimated population of nearly 42 million residents, Jakarta soared from 33rd place in the previous rankings, in 2018, that were topped by Tokyo. It’s followed by Dhaka, with 36 million, which the report says is “expected to become the world’s largest city by mid-century.” That’s a sign of the rapid change underway across the world, with the rise of densely populated megacities. Nearly half of the planet’s...
The European Union Votes To Deepen Defense Industry Ties With Ukraine
European Union lawmakers voted on Tuesday to deepen integration of the bloc’s defense industry with Ukraine as a U.S. peace plan remains in flux and Russia’s unconventional warfare operations rattle the 27-nation bloc. European Parliament legislators voted 457-148, with 33 abstentions, to approve a 1.5-billion euro ($1.7 billion) program, with 300 million euros ($345 million) slated for the Ukraine Support Instrument. Raphaël Glucksmann, an EU lawmaker from France’s S&D party, said that the defense program “will enable us to build a more resilient and sovereign Europe” through partnering with Ukraine to build a cutting-edge military industrial complex. “This is key...
EU’s Top Court Tells Poland To Recognize Same-Sex Marriages Registered Elsewhere In Europe
The European Union’s highest court on Tuesday ordered Poland to recognize same-sex marriages registered in other EU countries even if Polish law does not permit them. EU countries have the obligation to recognize a marriage between two EU citizens of the same sex lawfully concluded in another EU state, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled. The ruling addressed the case of a Polish couple who married in Berlin in 2018 and later wanted to move back to Poland. Polish authorities refused to transcribe and recognize the couple’s German marriage certificate. LGBTQ+ individuals for decades have been fighting for equal...
