Nigeria faces growing unease after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to prepare for possible military action. Trump said the move targets the ongoing killings of Christians in Nigeria, warning that America would end all aid and “go in guns blazing” if the violence continues. His statement, posted Saturday, shocked Abuja and drew swift rejection from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. Trump claimed that the U.S. must act to “wipe out Islamic terrorists” accused of massacring Christians. He instructed what he called the “Department of War” to plan a rapid and “vicious” response. Nigerian officials quickly condemned the remarks,…

The growing use of GLP‑1 medications, including Semaglutide, Wegovy, and Ozempic, is beginning to show measurable public-health benefits. Experts suggest that these drugs are creating new opportunities to prevent chronic diseases associated with obesity and related health conditions. GLP‑1 drugs work by regulating appetite and blood sugar, helping patients achieve sustained weight loss. This effect has wide-reaching implications, as reducing obesity can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses. Healthcare professionals report that patients using GLP‑1 medications, alongside healthy lifestyle changes, are experiencing significant health improvements. Reduced body weight and better blood sugar control…
Britain is one of the least “nature-connected” countries in the world, ranking 55th out of 61 nations in the first global study examining how people relate to the natural world. The research, which surveyed 57,000 people across 61 countries, found Nepal to be the most nature-connected nation, followed by Iran, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. In contrast, countries such as Spain, Japan, Germany, and Canada joined Britain near the bottom of the list. The study, published in Ambio, found that societies with higher levels of spirituality or religious faith tended to feel a stronger bond with nature, while those focused…
Researchers discovered that artificial intelligence understands Polish better than any other language, while English placed only sixth. A joint study by the University of Maryland (UMD) and Microsoft evaluated 26 languages and found Polish most effective for prompting AI systems. “Our findings were surprising and counterintuitive,” the authors explained. “English did not perform best across all models. It ranked sixth when we assessed long texts, while Polish led the results.” The research team tested major AI models—including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek—by feeding them identical prompts in 26 different languages. Polish achieved an average accuracy rate of 88%…

Enzo Maresca tore into striker Liam Delap after Chelsea survived a second-half scare to beat Wolves 4-3 and reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea were cruising 3-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, and Estêvão, but things unraveled after Delap — returning from injury — was sent off for two needless bookings in seven minutes. Wolves roared back through Tolu Arokodare and a late brace from David Møller Wolfe, but Jamie Gittens’ strike ensured Chelsea advanced to face Cardiff. “It’s embarrassing,” Maresca said. “Two yellows in seven minutes — it’s stupid. After the first, I told…
Surging demand for iPhones lifted Apple’s revenue in the three months ending September, delivering record annual profits. Apple reported stronger-than-expected results despite ongoing trade tensions and its slow progress in artificial intelligence. The company credited the performance to robust sales of the new iPhone 17 lineup, launched last month. “Apple proudly announces record September-quarter revenue of $102.5 billion, including all-time highs for iPhone and Services,” said CEO Tim Cook. The iPhone boom pushed profits to $27.5 billion (€23.8bn), nearly double last year’s figure. Apple’s shares climbed 2% in after-hours trading.
