Tottenham Hotspur defender Destiny Udogie has been revealed as the Premier League footballer allegedly threatened at gunpoint by an agent in north London last September. The incident reportedly occurred late on 6 September in Cockfosters, Barnet, while Udogie was out with a friend during the international break. Police were called after the suspect allegedly brandished a firearm and made threats. The man, aged 31, was arrested two days later on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, blackmail, and driving without a licence. He has since been bailed as investigations continue. Udogie was unharmed…
Sir David Attenborough’s new BBC series Kingdom showcases extraordinary wildlife moments — including a lion saving a pregnant hyena from a pack of wild dogs. Filmed over five years in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley, the documentary follows lions, hyenas, leopards and wild dogs, revealing their fierce rivalries and surprising alliances. “Only nature could write this script,” said executive producer Mike Gunton. The series features dramatic rescues, rare hunts, and tender moments such as newborn lion cubs opening their eyes. It also highlights human impacts like habitat loss and snare traps. Scientific consultant Dr Matthew Becker of the Zambia Carnivore Programme said…
In one of the most dramatic Basque derbies ever played, Real Sociedad beat Athletic Club 3-2 thanks to Jon Gorrotxategi’s stoppage-time strike — their first-ever derby winner in added time. The game at a rain-soaked Reale Arena had everything: five goals, relentless energy, and local pride. Gorrotxategi, a Real academy graduate from the border of Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia, scuffed his first attempt before blasting in the rebound from close range to spark wild celebrations among players and fans. “It’s a dream — I hit it with all my soul,” Gorrotxategi said. “This goal belongs to the fans. Something has clicked…
Erling Haaland once again proved unstoppable as Manchester City beat Bournemouth 3-1 to move up to second in the Premier League table. The Norwegian striker struck twice in the first half to take his league tally to 13 goals this season and 98 in 107 Premier League appearances, before Nico O’Reilly sealed the win after the break. Pep Guardiola’s side dominated early, but Bournemouth briefly levelled when Tyler Adams bundled in after Gianluigi Donnarumma spilled a corner. Haaland quickly restored City’s lead, racing onto a Rayan Cherki pass to round the keeper for his second. After the interval, O’Reilly finished…
Britain has been named one of the least “nature-connected” countries in the world, ranking 55th out of 61 nations in a new global study examining how people relate to the natural world. Researchers surveyed 57,000 people and found that Nepal was the most nature-connected nation, followed by Iran, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. At the other end of the scale, Spain, Japan, Israel, Germany, and Canada joined Britain near the bottom. The study, published in Ambio, found that spirituality and religious belief were the strongest indicators of a close relationship with nature, while highly industrialised, wealthy, and urbanised societies—where internet…
Enzo Maresca tore into Liam Delap after the striker’s “very stupid” red card nearly cost Chelsea their Carabao Cup tie against Wolves. Chelsea led 3-0 at half-time through goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, Estêvão and Jamie Gittens but collapsed late on after Delap — returning from injury — picked up two yellow cards in just seven minutes. Wolves fought back to 4-3, with David Møller Wolfe scoring twice after Tolu Arokodare’s opener, but Chelsea held on to reach the quarter-finals. “It’s embarrassing — two yellows in seven minutes,” Maresca said. “I told him to keep calm, but he struggles…
A tiny spider once thought extinct in the UK has been rediscovered on the Isle of Wight, delighting conservationists. The Aulonia albimana, newly nicknamed the white-knuckled wolf spider for its pale palps, was found at the National Trust’s Newtown National Nature Reserve, a site only reachable by boat. The discovery came with minutes to spare during a four-hour survey by entomologists Mark Telfer and Graeme Lyons. Last recorded in 1985, the spider’s return was made possible by habitat restoration efforts using Hebridean sheep to graze the overgrown limestone grassland, creating the open, sunlit patches the species prefers. Helen Smith of…
Los Angeles FC star Son Heung-min is now the second-highest earner in Major League Soccer, taking home $10.4 million in salary and $11.2 million in total compensation, according to the league’s latest salary data. Son, who joined LAFC from Tottenham in August, made an instant impact with nine goals in 10 MLS games. Only Lionel Messi earns more, with $12 million in salary and $20.4 million total compensation from Inter Miami under his current deal, which runs through 2025 but is set to extend to 2028. Messi’s new Miami teammate Rodrigo De Paul earns $1.5 million annually. Other notable summer…
New UN analysis shows that national climate plans from over 60 countries would cut global emissions by only 10% by 2035 — about one-sixth of what’s needed to limit warming to 1.5C. UN climate chief Simon Stiell urged countries to act faster, warning that progress “must start now.” Major emitters including China and the EU have yet to submit updated plans, while the US target under Joe Biden is unlikely to stand if Donald Trump withdraws from the Paris agreement again. The findings come ahead of Cop30 in Brazil next month, where leaders will debate how to close the gap…
Juventus have dismissed head coach Igor Tudor following an eight-match winless run across all competitions, the club announced on Monday. “Juventus FC announces that it has today relieved Igor Tudor of his duties as coach of the men’s first team, along with his staff,” the statement read.

A former Juve defender, he spent nearly a decade at the club as a player, winning two Serie A titles and reaching a Champions…
