President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order that would expand access to cannabis, a long anticipated move that would mark the most significant shift in US drug policy in decades. The order is expected to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I narcotic, to a Schedule III drug – placing it under the same category as Tylenol with codeine, US media reports suggest.Even if recategorised, cannabis will remain illegal at the federal level. But classifying it as a Schedule III narcotic would allow expanded research to be conducted into its potential benefits. Several Republican lawmakers have cautioned against…
Real Madrid are willing to swap Turkey international Arda Guler for Florian Wirtz in a swap deal with Liverpool, according to reports. Arne Slot’s side signed Wirtz in the summer transfer window in a deal worth an initial £100m from Bayer Leverkusen with another £16m in add-ons. The Wirtz signing was part of a summer outlay from Liverpool that passed £400m as the Reds board backed Slot, who won the Premier League title in his first season at Anfield.

Amazon just introduced a . This lets Alexa+ answer the doorbell and converse with visitors, which certainly sounds futuristic in a “gated community as dystopia” kind of way.There are several caveats here.

It’s available in the US and Canada and only in English.If you meet those criteria, this could be a fairly useful little feature. Amazon says it “transforms your Ring doorbell into an intelligent assistant capable…
Dean Saunders has excused the form of Mohamed Salah, in part, but he also asked four questions of the Liverpool icon amid his struggles this season. Salah is nowhere close this season to where he was last. Indeed, last term was one of the very best of his career, as he guaranteed himself a new Liverpool deal with 57 direct goal contributions in all competitions, which included a golden boot-winning 29 goals in the Premier League. This term, the Reds icon has just five goals and four assists from 20 games in all competitions, and has been benched of late…

The machine was completed in early 2025 and is now being tested. Sources told Reuters it can successfully generate extreme ultraviolet light, the most challenging part of…

Tottenham are reportedly ‘open’ to selling Brennan Johnson if they receive a suitable offer, with a BBC insider confirming ‘a number of clubs have been alerted.’ Spurs have a wealth of attacking options though most aren’t cutting it this term. So far this season, they’ve used Mohammed Kudus, Richarlison, Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Johnson, Randal Kolo Muani, Mathys Tel, Dominic Solanke and Dane Scarlett in attacking areas. Richarlison is the only one of those men to have surpassed five goals this term, with Johnson next out of that group on four. However, the man who scored Tottenham‘s winner in last…
Bullish Korean brand bursts onto the van market with futuristic-looking electric MPV to rival Volkswagen ID Buzz Even by the standards of a car firm that has radically transformed its line-up in recent years, the new Kia PV5 is a hugely significant machine.

The origins of the term “white elephant” point to one definition: According to legend, the King of Siam would give a white elephant to courtiers who had upset them. It was a far more devious punishment than simply having them executed. The recipient had no choice but to simply thank the king for such an opulent gift, knowing that they likely could not afford the upkeep for such an animal. It would inevitably lead them to financial ruin.While that story is almost certainly…
