The Irish presidency wants to trim the 2028–2034 financial framework to around €1.6 trillion, a reduction aimed at satisfying frugal member states. Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands say it still isn't tight enough.
Scientists directly measured autophagy in human blood, skin and nerve cells — and found more activity, not less, was linked to worse fitness in people aged 70 and over. The finding challenges a long-held assumption that declining cellular recycling is a hallmark of ageing.
An independent commission ruled that City knowingly broke Premier League rules and inflated its accounts by more than £900m. Sanctions have yet to be decided, while rival clubs are seeking legal advice on possible compensation claims.
The People's Bank of China cleared Visa to begin preparatory work on October 13. It still needs further authorisation before it can process domestic transactions — and rivals American Express and Mastercard are already further along.
Abu Agila Mohammad Mas'ud Kheir Al-Marimi claims armed men seized him in Libya and handed him to FBI agents with a cloth hood over his head. He argues the transfer was an unlawful rendition that strips US courts of jurisdiction to try him.
Von der Leyen pushed all 27 member states for stronger border controls ahead of the Brussels summit. Leaders agreed to use trade, aid and visa policy as leverage — and backed Poland's plan to suspend asylum claims from migrants pushed across its border by Belarus and Russia.
Curved arcs of light around XLSSC 122, some 10.4 billion light-years away, confirm strong gravitational lensing for the first time. The cluster's dense core is hard to square with models predicting slower growth at that stage of cosmic history.
The European Commission confirmed Cyprus is ready to join Europe's border-free zone after the island implemented 120 recommendations on borders, visas and security. Austria and the Netherlands have reservations over the Green Line and the British base areas, and unanimous EU Council approval is needed — making late 2027 or 2028 the earliest realistic entry.
A Prix Goncourt-listed novel allegedly written by AI has put authorship at the centre of publishing's biggest annual gathering. Over 120 publishers have signed an appeal calling for AI regulation, as a new survey finds 58 percent of readers say they couldn't tell a human-written book from a machine-generated one.
A data centre can go up in one to two years. Transmission lines and clean generation take far longer. Ireland and Frankfurt are already hitting the limits.

The Kenyan's 2:09:56 from the 2024 Chicago Marathon remains in the record books after she admitted anti-doping violations and was suspended. Fellow marathon stars Brigid Kosgei and Jacob Kiplimo have since joined a voluntary testing programme requiring at least 25 out-of-competition tests a year.
Two research teams have built AI systems that read brain, heart and respiratory activity from one overnight sleep recording. Stanford's model predicted 130 conditions, scoring 0.85 for dementia; a Cleveland Clinic model found the highest-risk patients were more than twice as likely to die as those in the lowest-risk group.
Satellite imagery from September 2026 shows construction under cover at Taleghan 2 in Tehran and rapid rebuilding at the Parchin military complex, both struck multiple times since 2024. The IAEA says it has carried out almost no in-field verification in Iran for more than six months and cannot account for some enriched uranium stockpiles.
US retail diesel has hit $6.529 a gallon, and fuel can eat up 40% of a fishing trip's cost. Combined with shrinking shellfish harvests driven by warmer, bacteria-prone waters, the squeeze is pushing prices far beyond what many people can afford.
Researchers tested 21 connected vehicles and 30 companion apps, and found that 28 of the apps shared data with advertising or analytics firms. Seven sent sensitive details — including GPS locations and vehicle identification numbers — directly to ad networks.

A US tax filing shows Gianni Infantino was paid $1.72 million by FWC2026, the FIFA-owned company running the 2026 World Cup, on top of his declared salary. FIFA's own rules require the president's individual compensation to be made public, and a former governance chief says the omission is a clear breach.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded Halzen the 2026 prize for his decisive role in building IceCube, a cubic kilometre of South Pole ice lined with light sensors that detects high-energy neutrinos from deep space. Halzen first proposed the idea in 1988, and it took until 2013 for the observatory to confirm its first astrophysical neutrinos.
Ghana's main cocoa processor ran at 20% of capacity as beans became too costly to buy. Now rice supplies are tightening too, with world food prices near a four-year high.

Researchers analysed 300 million laboratory results from over a million women and found 52 of 90 blood markers changed suddenly around the final menstrual period — not gradually, as long assumed. Some specialists have pushed back on the study's "cliff-like" framing, calling it unnecessarily alarming.
Voters in Germany, France, Italy and Spain go to the polls in a sequence that could pull the EU sharply rightward. In Germany, the AfD is already positioned to become the first far-right party to govern a state since 1945.
