It would be an “amazing achievement” if Liverpool could “clear £50-75m” for Mohamed Salah and “would draw the thing to a close”, according to a football finance expert. After the Reds’ 3-3 draw against Leeds United earlier this month, Salah hit out at the Liverpool for being made a scapegoat for recent performances and claimed he no longer had a relationship with Arne Slot. The board and Slot made the joint decision to omit Salah from their next squad to face Inter Milan before peace talks saw the Egypt international back in the squad for their 2-0 win over Brighton nine days…
It’s a consequence of being a nerdy petrolhead that, despite most of us living thousands of miles away from northern Scandinavia, we’re familiar with the strange names of Arvidsjaur, Arjeplog and Rovaniemi. These settlements are the storied and chillingly remote testing hubs around which nearly every European car maker congregates each winter. They use facilities both public and hidden to tune ABS software, examine real-world fluid viscosity at -30deg C and so on. With limited sunlight and horrendously low temperatures, it is a brutal testing environment in every respect. Never mind the machinery: test engineering teams dispatched from everywhere from…

Waymo has resumed its robo-taxi service in San Francisco after a power outage stranded vehicles around the city, CNBC reported. The blackout, caused by a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) substation fire, caused traffic light disruptions that affected Waymo’s automated driving systems.”Yesterday’s power outage was a widespread event that caused gridlock across San Francisco, with non-functioning traffic signals and transit disruptions,” a Waymo spokesperson told CNBC in a statement. “While the failure of the utility infrastructure was significant, we are committed to ensuring our technology adjusts to traffic flow during such events.”Following the outage, which began at around 1:09 PM…
Eve WebsterBristol, VirginiaBBCThe US town of Bristol, population around 44,000, is a divided community.Split between Virginia and Tennessee, the state line runs literally down main street. While both sides have much in common, there is one major difference – abortion is illegal in Tennessee. This has been the case since the 2022 Supreme Court ruling which gave individual states, rather than the federal government, the power to legislate abortion, triggering 12 states to pass near-total bans.So the city’s only abortion clinic, Bristol Women’s Health, moved less than a mile down the road to continue practising legally in Virginia.But just because…

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney thinks Liverpool could put a run together to get themselves back in the mix with Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa. We’re not so sure.

At the beginning of my first full lap of Llandow Circuit behind the wheel of the Artura in the summer, I had what can at best be called a ‘track limits violation’, cutting the corner onto the grass at the first chicane. It felt awful and sounded loud from behind the wheel but looked far less dramatic on camera. And, thankfully, there wasn’t a scratch on the car. Hurting my pride but leaving my reputation intact, it served to show just how shockingly quick the Artura is and how effortlessly its performance is delivered. It can and will catch you…

Instacart will hand over $60 million in customer refunds following a Federal Trade Commission settlement, marking one of the largest consumer protection payouts in the delivery industry’s history. The San Francisco-based company allegedly misled millions of customers about “free delivery” while secretly charging mandatory service fees that can inflate orders by up to 15%, the FTC revealed. The settlement exposes a web of deceptive practices that turned everyday grocery shopping and ecommerce into…
As organisations across the Middle East deepen their digital transformation, the region’s cyber threat landscape is becoming more intricate and harder to manage. Smart cities, cloud-first strategies and expanding fintech environments are creating vast entry points for attackers. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a central pillar of defence, but according to Mark Morland, executive vice-president for MENA, Greece & Cyprus at Obrela, its role is often misunderstood. “There’s a growing belief that AI can run security on its own,” Morland said. “In reality, it accelerates detection and triage, but it still needs human context to understand priorities, regulations…
