Archaeologists claim they now have proof that huge circular pits near Stonehenge were deliberately dug by Neolithic people more than 4,000 years ago. The “Durrington pit circle” is thought to be made up of about 20 विशाल pits stretching over a mile in diameter, with some measuring up to 10 metres wide and 5 metres deep. First identified in 2020, the feature was initially met with scepticism, with some experts suggesting the pits were natural formations. A new study, published in Internet Archaeology, used a combination of advanced techniques — including electrical resistance tomography, ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry, soil dating and…

Scientists have identified five major phases of human brain development, with key “turning points” occurring around the ages of nine, 32, 66 and 83, according to a large new study. The research, based on brain scans from nearly 4,000 people aged from infancy to 90, found that brain development does not follow a smooth, steady path. Instead, it progresses through distinct “epochs” marked by shifts in how neural connections are organised. The five brain eras identified were: Researchers measured brain structure using 12 different indicators, including efficiency of neural wiring, how organised networks are, and how strongly the brain relies…
Idrissa Gueye was met with applause from his Everton teammates after apologising for his red card incident during Monday’s win at Manchester United, where he was sent off for striking teammate Michael Keane. The 36-year-old became the first Premier League player in 17 years to be dismissed for hitting a teammate after slapping Keane in the 13th minute, following a misplaced pass that nearly led to a Bruno Fernandes chance. Despite playing with 10 men for almost the entire match, Everton held on to secure a memorable 1–0 victory. After the match, Gueye addressed the squad in the dressing room…
People who stop taking the weight-loss drug Mounjaro (tirzepatide) tend to regain weight and lose key health improvements, including lower blood pressure and reduced “bad” cholesterol, according to new research. The findings come from the Surmount-4 clinical trial, where participants first took tirzepatide for 36 weeks before being split into two groups: one continued the drug and the other switched to a placebo. Among those who stopped the medication, 82% regained at least 25% of the weight they had lost within a year. Researchers found that weight regain was linked to a reversal of earlier health gains, including increased waist…
Congress has approved a bipartisan bill requiring the Department of Justice to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days. The law is seen as a significant move toward transparency in high-profile investigations. The bill received broad support from both Democrats and Republicans. Lawmakers said the decision ensures the public can access records about Epstein’s crimes and any possible links to other high-profile figures. President Trump has publicly agreed to sign the legislation. His approval paves the way for the Justice Department to make the documents available to the public as soon as possible. The documents cover years…
Virgil van Dijk launched a fierce critique of Liverpool’s form after their 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest, admitting the defending champions are “in a mess” and questioning whether all players are taking responsibility. The defeat, Liverpool’s sixth in seven league games, left them in the bottom half of the table with a negative goal difference. Van Dijk said the team “panicked” after conceding, describing their second-half performance as “unacceptable” and acknowledging they are letting manager Arne Slot down. Speaking angrily after the match, the captain urged teammates to take ownership of the crisis. He questioned whether everyone was doing…
Health officials in Washington state have confirmed the first known human death caused by the rare H5N5 strain of bird flu, though they emphasise that the overall public risk remains low. The patient, an older adult from Grays Harbor County with underlying health conditions, had been hospitalised since early November after developing a high fever, confusion and respiratory issues. The individual kept a backyard flock of poultry that had been exposed to wild birds. The Washington State Department of Health said no other people connected to the case have tested positive, and there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission. Officials…
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank has said the club is not close to spending £100m on a single player, unlike rivals Arsenal. Following major leadership changes at Spurs, including the departure of Daniel Levy and the arrival of a new executive team, the club is aiming to grow both on and off the pitch. However, Frank admitted Spurs are still some way from matching Arsenal’s willingness to make blockbuster signings, such as the £105m deal for Declan Rice in 2023. Tottenham’s current record signing remains Richarlison at £60m. Frank said he does not believe Spurs are close to breaking the…
Ian Wright has defended Jude Bellingham, claiming that some of the midfielder’s critics are uncomfortable with the rise of a “black superstar”. Bellingham was criticised after reacting angrily to being substituted during England’s World Cup qualifying victory over Albania, with suggestions in some quarters that he could be a disruptive influence in the squad. Wright rejected that narrative, arguing that the scrutiny is driven by fear of Bellingham’s success. Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Wright said Bellingham’s confidence and achievements make certain people uneasy, adding that outspoken, high-performing black players are often judged more harshly than quieter ones.…
Manchester United’s proposal to sell personal seat licences (PSLs) to help fund a £2bn Old Trafford redevelopment has been thrown into uncertainty after the UK government announced a major crackdown on ticket resales. United had been exploring a PSL model that would allow fans to buy the right to a specific seat for decades and, crucially, to resell that licence at a profit—a system widely used in American sports. But new legislation, set for next year’s king’s speech, will ban selling sports and music tickets above face value, effectively eliminating profitable secondary markets. Government sources say they would oppose any…
