Published on 12/07/2026 – 8:06 GMT+2 Thomas Tuchel’s England side are through to the World Cup semifinals following a 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in Miami on Saturday. Norway took the lead late in the first half when what looked to be a cross from Andreas Schjelderup deceived Jordan Pickford, dipping over the England goalkeeper and flying in off the post. England responded quickly, however, with midfielder Jude Bellingham adding to his impressive goal tally for the tournament with a cool left-footed finish just before the interval. Tuchel made a number of changes at half-time, bringing off Noni Madueke and…
It was close to 40 degrees inside the tent, and the heatwave outside was the worst France had experienced in years. Animators, producers and the executives who finance and sell their films had crowded in anyway, to talk about the thing reshaping their industry faster than anything in a generation: artificial intelligence. Every June, this lakeside town of Annecy in the French Alps is the focus of the animation world. This year, the record temperatures were not the only thing people came away talking about. AI was everywhere, and almost nowhere on the record. On stage: the optimists’ case The…

It’s not clear who’s footing the bill. The White House has said only that the venture is a private company willing to take a hit on its profit margins to help American drivers struggling with high prices following the war in Iran. Trump himself said on social media it is backed by a “VERY smart Retailer” that is “doing this because they love the U.S.A.” The Freedom Fuel Network’s bare-bones website lists the 25 participating stations across southeastern Pennsylvania and south Jersey. Many of…

The new threats come after the breakdown of a ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump issued threats of his own, promising to “completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran” in response to any attempts on his life. Mojtaba Khamenei has not…

The new threats come amid a breakdown in a ceasefire between Iran and the U.S., which was signed in June. The U.S. launched new strikes on Iran earlier this week in response to Iran’s attacks on shipping in the critical waterway of the Strait of Hormuz. On Wednesday, Trump told reporters that Iran was plotting to assassinate him. “They want to take out the U.S. leader — me,” he said. “I’m on every list. I saw this morning, I’m on every single one of their lists. And so far, I guess I’ve been a little bit lucky, but that maybe…
