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…

Switzerland’s world-famous banking system — long associated with privacy, neutrality, and old-world prestige — is under fire again. In a sharply worded interview with the Abu Dhabi Times, international lawyer Dr. Gerhard Podovsovnik accused the Swiss government and its financial sector of covering up assets tied to Nazi Germany and of profiting for decades from wealth stolen during the Holocaust. “The Bergier Report told us what happened,” Podovsovnik said. “Switzerland’s National Bank and private banks bought stolen Nazi gold, moved looted property, and turned away Jewish refugees at the border. Neutrality became a convenient excuse for complicity.” The comments have…
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.

Jude Bellingham ended his goal drought with his first league goal and an assist since recovering from shoulder surgery. Kylian Mbappé continued his lethal scoring form, leading the attack with composure. Yet the triumph was overshadowed by Vinicius Jr’s fiery reaction to being substituted. The Brazilian winger erupted in the 72nd minute after being replaced. He ignored Alonso, stormed down the tunnel, and returned to…

Massive destruction across the Gaza Strip has made it nearly impossible for Hamas to recover the bodies of remaining Israeli hostages buried beneath rubble. An Egyptian convoy carrying excavators and bulldozers entered Gaza on Saturday to assist with recovery operations. The US-brokered ceasefire agreement requires Israel to return 15 Palestinian bodies for every Israeli hostage’s body recovered. So far, Israel has handed back 195 Palestinian corpses, while Hamas has returned 18 Israeli bodies. Earlier this month, Hamas released all 20 surviving Israeli hostages as part of the deal. US President Donald Trump said he is “watching very closely” to ensure…
