Man Utd have made their opening offer to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande in the January transfer window, according to reports. The Red Devils spent over £200m on new signings in the summer transfer window as INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe looked to back Ruben Amorim, before sacking him on Monday. Since then, Man Utd have shown similar inconsistency in results with just eight wins from 20 Premier League matches this season. Thanks to four points separating sixth and 14th position in the league, Man Utd are somehow sixth and just three points off fourth-placed Liverpool after the Red Devils’ draw…
Meta has been experimenting with EMG technology for years. In 2025, the company commercialized it for the first time in its Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, which users control via a dedicated neural band that is able to interpret subtle muscle movements in the wrist.Now, at CES 2026, the company is offering its first look at how its neural band could be used to control devices outside of its smart glasses lineup. Meta has teamed up with Garmin, as well as a handful of research partners, to explore some intriguing use cases for its wrist-based controller.The social media company has previously…

Campaigners for assisted dying will ask the House of Lords to sit late or start early in order to pass the legislation in time.Concern is growing among supporters of the bill that it won’t pass all its parliamentary hurdles in the allotted days.A motion in the Lords asks peers to agree that “further time should be provided for consideration of the bill”.Extending the usual Friday debates is one likely option but that would anger some Jewish peers because the weekly religious Shabbat ceremony begins at sunset.Lord Shinkwin, who is disabled, has also previously said that because of his travel arrangements,…
Everything you need to know – match prediction, expected line-ups, how to watch and more – as Fulham take on Chelsea in the Premier League.
I’ve been using the same smartphone controller on my iPhone for years. That’s partly because most options are so similar. Announced at CES 2026, the X5 Alteron couldn’t be more different. It’s a collaboration between GameSir (which loves unusual peripheral ) and Hyperkin (retro-leaning ).The X5 Alteron is apparently the world’s first fully modular mobile games controller. While the headline feature might be the stick/d-pad/button modules, the X5 Alteron has a very accommodating vice grip that works with devices from iPhone and Android phones through to the Switch series and even iPads. There’s even Bluetooth if you want to use…

Nvidia has unveiled a new tech platform for self-driving cars as the world’s leading chip-maker seeks more physical products to embed AI into.Speaking at the annual CES technology conference in Las Vegas, boss Jensen Huan said the system – called Alpamayo – would bring “reasoning” to autonomous vehicles.That would allow cars to “think through rare scenarios, drive safely in complex environments, and explain their driving decisions,” Huang claimed.He said Nvidia was working with Mercedes to produce a driverless car powered by the tech, which would be released in the US in the coming months before being rolled out in Europe…
West Ham United’s new nadir against Wolves left this season’s woeful performers, and uninspiring head coach Nuno Espirito Santo, with no choice but to beat Nottingham Forest in a gigantic relegation six-pointer on Tuesday night, in which they left empty-handed… Forest headed into the game on a run of four consecutive Premier League losses, and even so, it was widely assumed before this match that a win was a formality against this West Ham side. The statistics make for grim reading if you are associated with West Ham, whose last clean sheet came 17 games ago against Forest in August’s…
The UK government is proposing the biggest road safety shake-up in a generation as part of an effort to cut road deaths by at least 65% by 2035. Called the Road Safety Strategy, Labour’s plans include new measures such as cognitive and sight tests for the elderly, minimum hour rules for learner drivers and the lowering of drink driving limits – which have remained unchanged since 1967. The documents – being released on Wednesday morning but seen by Autocar on Tuesday – are broken up into five separate consultations that cover everything from speed limits and driving offences and even what safety technology must legally…
