England’s Lionesses returned to a hero’s welcome Monday, just hours after their nerve-shredding penalty shootout win over reigning world champion Spain secured back-to-back European titles. Chloe Kelly slotted home the decisive penalty in Basel, Switzerland, lifting Sarina Wiegman’s side to a 4-3 shootout triumph following a tense 1-1 draw in the Euro 2025 final. The victory cemented England’s grip on the continental crown they first claimed at Wembley in 2022. Fans decked out in England kits and waving flags gathered outside Southend Airport, about 40 miles east of London, to greet their champions. Cheers erupted as the team arrived aboard…

Since May, Macau casino revenue has outpaced analyst projections. That momentum has driven gaming shares up almost 60%, a rally that is expected to continue. Macau is enjoying a bump in gross gaming revenue tied to increased tourism, crowd-pleasing entertainment, improved transportation – and a rise in VIP play. New luxury hotel accommodations are doing their bit to attract and retain travellers visiting the city.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos said nothing about online gambling in Monday’s State of the Nation Address, although he has promised to consider calls for a total iGaming ban. In his 2024 State of the Nation Address, Philippine President Ferdinand “Bong Bong” Marcos Jr electrified the nation with his ban on crime-ridden Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGOs). Opponents of online gambling hoped Marcos would make a similar declaration in this year’s address on Monday. He disappointed them, making no reference to the issue or recent calls to abolish the industry. On 7 July, lawmakers filed two online gambling bills, one to…

The world’s top authority on food crises warned Tuesday that the Gaza Strip is already facing a worst-case famine scenario, predicting “widespread deaths” unless immediate action is taken. The alert, still short of a formal famine declaration, follows an outcry over images of emaciated children in Gaza and reports of dozens of hunger-related deaths after nearly 22 months of war. The international pressure led Israel over the weekend to announce measures, including daily humanitarian pauses in fighting in parts of Gaza and airdrops. The United Nations and Palestinians on the ground say little has changed and desperate crowds continue to…
A gunman with reported mental health issues opened fire in a central Manhattan skyscraper Monday, killing four people, including a police officer, before apparently taking his own life, officials said. A fifth victim was in critical condition after being shot, Mayor Eric Adams told a late-night press briefing at a nearby hospital. The gunman was caught on surveillance footage leaving a black BMW and carrying an M-4 rifle, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told the news conference. On entering the building, he immediately opened fire on a police officer before “spraying the lobby” with bullets, she said. The gunman then took…
It has been two months since tensions between Cambodia and Thailand flared up again. This most recent escalation was sparked by the death of a Cambodian soldier during a skirmish with Thai troops on May 28, 2025, at the disputed border area between Cambodia’s Preah Vihear province and Thailand’s Ubon Ratchathani province. The incident reignited a long-simmering border conflict, culminating in an exchange of artillery and small-arms fire on July 24, 2025. This violence, however, cannot be understood through the lens of a single battlefield event—nor can it be reduced to the widely discussed 17-minute leaked phone call on June…
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) has reported that Chinese scientists have developed advanced aircraft-design software they claim breaks the “curse of dimensionality,” a computational barrier that contributed to the US Navy’s cancellation of its X-47B stealth drone program in 2015. Led by Huang Jiangtao at the China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center, the team introduced a geometric sensitivity computation method that enables optimization of hundreds of variables—such as stealth, aerodynamics and propulsion—without increasing computational load. Unlike traditional methods that grow exponentially more complex, their approach decouples gradient computation costs from design intricacy and integrates radar-absorbent materials directly into aerodynamic…
As Europe’s cycling superpowers dominated the Tour de France, Latin America’s lone flicker came not from Colombia’s famed escarabajos, but from an unassuming Ecuadorian domestique who climbed, towed, and survived when his Andean peers barely made the headlines. The Ecuadorian Who Refused to Fade Jhonatan Narváez didn’t come to the Tour de France as a contender. He came to serve—to protect his team leader, chase down attacks, and burn himself out long before the final climbs. But somewhere between the Vosges and the Alps, the 27-year-old from El Playón de San Francisco began doing more than just pulling. While most…
Washington’s new stablecoin law just rewrote the rules of the crypto game—and across Latin America, financial officials, entrepreneurs, and lawmakers are scrambling to decide whether to follow the blueprint or defend digital sovereignty on their terms. A Lifeline for Unstable Currencies When Donald Trump signed the United States’ first stablecoin law last week, most Latin American capitals took note—but some listened as if it were a starting pistol. In countries where inflation has eroded savings and eroded trust in central banks, the promise of dollar-pegged digital assets suddenly felt more tangible. “This kind of legislation can reassure international investors,” said…
