It took 11 months and 35 games for this moment to arrive. Rúben Amorim once described his Manchester United side as “maybe” the worst in the club’s history. He questioned his future, endured intense criticism, and only survived after minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe publicly backed him. Then came Anfield — the perfect setting for redemption. Against their fiercest rivals, United finally looked like a team reborn. A victory forged in character and control This was not another lucky escape, like last December’s win at Manchester City. From the start, United played with structure, hunger, and discipline. Bryan Mbeumo’s early…

A new “smart jab” has shown remarkable results in shrinking head and neck cancer tumours within six weeks, offering fresh hope to patients with few remaining treatment options. The drug, amivantamab, works through a triple-action mechanism and can be administered as a simple injection rather than hours-long hospital infusions. Results from the Orig-AMI 4 trial, presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology conference in Berlin, showed that 76% of patients saw their tumours shrink or stop growing after treatment. Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer globally, and patients with recurrent or metastatic forms often have…

Sales Stabilize Across the ContinentAfter a prolonged downturn, Europe’s auto industry appears to be regaining its footing. Data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) show that new vehicle registrations across the European Union have leveled off in 2025, signaling the end of two years of steep declines. The recovery comes as parts shortages ease and energy costs stabilize, allowing production to catch up with demand. Electric vehicles continue to gain traction, now accounting for around 20% of all new car sales, bolstered by incentives in key markets such as France and Germany. China’s Electric Vehicle Makers Push Deeper Into…

When Kerry Dunstan and his partner went looking for a new car this summer, they focused on one question: “How’s the battery?” They found a 2021 Nissan Leaf with 29,000 miles, and the dealer told them the battery’s state of health (SOH) was still 93%. That sealed the deal. For £12,500, they bought a spacious, practical electric vehicle with plenty of room. Dunstan, a cabinetmaker who also owns a sleek electric Volvo SUV, admits the Leaf doesn’t thrill him. “I like cars with flair – this one’s a bit plain,” he says. Still, he’s satisfied. “It’s done exactly what I…

Upgrading Old Facilities for a Smarter Energy EraEuropean power producers are embracing digital technology to rejuvenate decades-old plants and improve overall performance.

Lamborghini’s chief executive says the brand’s loyal customers still demand the sound, emotion, and thrill of petrol engines. The Italian supercar maker plans to keep them at the core of its lineup for at least another decade. Turning from full electric to hybrid innovation At Lamborghini’s London showroom, CEO Stephan Winkelmann said enthusiasm for electric cars is fading. He believes this shift gives the brand space to strengthen its focus on hybrid technology instead of fully electric models. Within the next few weeks, Lamborghini will decide whether the long-anticipated Lanzador will launch as a full-electric car or as a plug-in…

A long-acting injection to prevent HIV is set to be approved for use in England and Wales, offering a major alternative to daily pills currently used for protection against the virus. The jab, known as cabotegravir (CAB-LA), is administered every two months and serves as a new form of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV-negative individuals at risk of infection. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended the treatment in draft guidance published on Friday for adults and young people who cannot take oral PrEP. Already available on the NHS in Scotland, the approval marks a major step…

A sudden phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday has thrown Kyiv’s plans into disarray. The two leaders agreed to meet soon to discuss the war in Ukraine, catching Ukrainian officials completely by surprise. The timing was brutal. In just 24 hours, Russia unleashed dozens of missiles and more than 300 drones across Ukraine. The attacks once again targeted civilian infrastructure, damaging gas supplies as temperatures begin to fall. Power cuts now stretch across the country as energy facilities struggle to recover. Moscow’s power play hides its weakness For Ukraine’s leadership, these renewed…
