Katya Adler Europe EditorBBCSomething in Europe has snapped. Donald Trump doubled down again on Monday, in his insistence that the US needs Greenland for national security reasons. Is he prepared to use force to seize it, journalists asked him? “No comment,” said the president, sending chills down the spine of Greenland’s anxious inhabitants. Again.Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark – a member of the EU and of Nato. President Trump is now leaning heavily on Denmark’s allies in both those organisations to abandon Copenhagen and let the US take control of Greenland, or face punitive taxes on all their…
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly settled on Brighton and Hove Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler as their ‘top managerial target’ to replace Thomas Frank. Frank appears to be on the brink of losing his job as his summer move to Spurs has not worked for anyone involved. The former Brentford boss was appointed to steady the ship following Ange Postecoglou’s reign, but Spurs supporters have not clicked with their new boss over his uninspiring style of play. Results and performances have also been dire as the north London outfit have fallen from near the top of the Premier League table to 14th…
Getty ImagesClaude in his enclosure at the California Academy of Sciences in 2023Claude wasn’t much of a talker, he barely moved, and never wore a costume to entice his audience – but on Sunday, hundreds gathered in San Francisco to celebrate the life and legacy of the city’s beloved albino alligator.A New Orleans-style brass band, a gator-shaped eight-foot-long white sourdough bread, drag queen story time and even a street officially bearing his name, Claude the Alligator Way, the memorial was one of its kind.The reptile sure won millions of hearts when he was alive, but he was also remembered for…
A surfer has been bitten by a shark, the fourth attack along Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) coastline in under 48 hours.The 39-year-old man suffered minor cuts after a shark bit through his board near Crescent Head on Tuesday morning. He is currently in hospital in stable condition, say reports.It follows three other attacks in Sydney over the past two days. All beaches in Sydney’s northern area will remain closed until further notice, said police. The attacks follow days of heavy rains, which NSW Superintendent Joseph McNulty had earlier said may have created a “perform storm environment” for shark attacks.…
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Man Utd will hold an “internal meeting” this week involving Michael Carrick over January transfers. The Red Devils sacked Ruben Amorim a fortnight ago as they looked to turn around their results and performances this season. After Darren Fletcher had taken the next two matches, Man Utd appointed Michael Carrick as their interim boss until the end of the campaign. Man Utd made an incredible start under Carrick by beating arch-rivals Man City 2-0 but the scoreline could have been even more impressive for the Red Devils. And, after that good display, Man…
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have agreed personal terms for Liverpool and Arsenal-linked defender Jeremy Jacquet. The Blues sacked Enzo Maresca earlier this month, who was on a run of just one win in seven Premier League matches, as Liam Rosenior replaced the Italian in the dugout. Rosenior has made a good start to life at Stamford Bridge with a comprehensive 5-1 FA Cup third round win over Charlton and a 2-0 Premier League win over Brentford either side of a 3-2 defeat to Premier League leaders Arsenal in the Carabao Cup. And Chelsea are doing their…
Micah Richards and Alan Shearer have explained why they think Arsenal need to drop summer signing Viktor Gyokeres, who has not been “offering enough”. Gyokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon in the 2025 summer transfer window in a deal worth around £64m. The Swedish international was recruited as a supposed fix for Arsenal‘s striker problems, but he has massively underperformed this season as he’s struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League. Gyokeres has only scored one Premier League goal in his last ten matches and his general play has also been really disappointing as he has made very…
We hear a lot about “the DNA of the club”; Gary Neville was waffling about Manchester United’s recently. And people rarely question what is actually a complete fallacy. There’s talk of Spurs’ DNA being in opposition to Thomas Frank’s style of play and it will soon get him the sack. West Ham’s DNA is forever being let down or ignored by managers and owners and Liverpool seem to believe it is a unique characteristic that the club embodies. In fact, is there any club that doesn’t have DNA? Does Exeter City have a footballing double helix? Is former Celtic defender…
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has reserved special praise for two “excellent” players, while Michael Carrick made two “simple” changes vs Man City. Rooney and everyone else associated with Man Utd are rightly delighted with what they saw from Carrick’s side as they deservedly beat arch-rivals Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday. This was Carrick’s first game in charge at Man Utd since being appointed as Ruben Amorim’s interim replacement on a short-term deal until the summer. Carrick helped to inspire United’s best performance of the 2025/26 campaign against Man City, though it remains to be seen whether…
James Pearce insists that Arne Slot ‘retains the backing’ of the Liverpool owners despite a disappointing 1-1 draw against Burnley over the weekend. Marcus Edwards cancelled out Florian Wirtz’s opener to give the Clarets a share of the spoils on Saturday and continue the Reds’ poor run of form. Liverpool have now drawn their last four Premier League matches in a row with last season’s champions now 14 points adrift of leaders Arsenal in the title race. That has seen rumours grow that Slot – who won the title in his first season at Anfield – could face pressure from…
