Leicester 26-35 Exeter Fourth-placed Chiefs face Saracens to decide playoff spot Exeter became the first away side to win in the league at Welford Road in 14 months as two tries from the veteran full-back Olly Woodburn delivered a terrific win for the Chiefs. In material terms the win made little difference to Exeter – they still need to beat Saracens at home in their final game of the regular season to reach the playoffs next weekend. But they will go into the Sandy Park shootout with belief coursing through them after storming the Tigers’ lair. Continue reading...

Israeli troops have captured a strategic mountain topped with a Crusader-built castle in southern Lebanon in the deepest incursion into the country in more than a quarter-century, the military said on Sunday. The taking of Beaufort Castle, near the city of Nabatiyeh, followed days of air strikes and intense fighting in nearby villages between Israeli troops and Hezbollah militants. The capture marked a major Israeli advance in the latest Israel-Hezbollah war, which began on March 2, when...

The film, directed by 20-year-old filmmaker Kane Parsons, debuted in 3,442 theaters and generated one of the strongest openings of the year. The performance also made Parsons the youngest director to helm a No. 1 film globally, according to distributor-reported figures. The strong debut gave theaters a much-needed boost heading into the summer movie season. Domestic box office revenue for 2026 has now reached nearly $3.69 billion through May, up more than 11% from the same period last year. Horror continues to draw audiences Backrooms significantly outperformed every other title in release, earning more than three times the weekend gross of the second-place film. Focus Features' supernatural thriller Obsession remained a standout performer in its third weekend, grossing $26.4 million and raising its domestic total to nearly $105 million. The film actually increased ticket sales by more than 10% from the prior weekend, an unusual feat for a wide release. Distributor data noted that, excluding Christmas releases, it is the first film since 1982 to post box office gains in both its second and third weekends. Disney's ( DIS ) Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu placed third with $25 million in its second weekend. The film has now earned approximately $137.4 million domestically and $246.6 million worldwide. ‘Michael’ approaches $1 billion worldwide Lionsgate's ( LION ) Michael Jackson biopic Michael continued its strong run, collecting $11.7 million in its sixth weekend. The film's domestic total reached nearly $340 million while worldwide receipts climbed to approximately $851 million.

19-year-old beats Pablo Carreño Busta 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 Jódar enjoying spectacular clay-court season This year’s French Open has been defined in many ways by the weather, an unprecedented week of searing heat wreaking havoc on and off the court. That trend came to an end in an instant on Sunday morning as the cool, damp conditions took over in Paris. Rain or shine, the rise of Rafael Jódar endures. The 19-year-old took another major step forward in his young career as he put together a monumental comeback, recovering from two sets down for the first time in his career to defeat his veteran Spanish compatriot Pablo Carreño Busta 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 and reach the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. Jódar’s breakthrough season remains one of the most significant tennis stories of the year so far. He now has an outlandish 19 wins and three defeats in his first full clay-court season, reaching the quarter-finals at every event with his Marrakech title, Barcelona semi-final and quarter-finals at Madrid and Rome making way for his first grand slam quarter-final. Having been ranked No 707 a year ago, he will rise to around No 22 in the ATP rankings. There are times when winning four matches at the majors requires players to tackle one or two truly elite players. This tournament is not one of them. With so many of the top contenders losing early this year in Paris, and so much opportunity left in the draw, one of the greater challenges for the remaining players is keeping their head in the game. This was true on Saturday, as no fewer than five of the eight men’s matches went to five sets and tension ruled both sides of the court as so many players struggled to either perform at the beginning or close out matches. Jódar, the 27th seed, was clearly so tense early on against his unseeded opponent that at one point he lost nine consecutive games from 4-1 up in the first set to 0-4 down in the second. From two sets down, however, he recovered brilliantly, completely bulldo...

It's called the Onvo L80, and some would argue that it could give Tesla and BYD some real competition by undercutting the two on price. Nio 's (NYSE: NIO) budget electric SUV starts at around $36,000, which isn't the most affordable EV in China, but it competes on price with the Tesla Model Y, which is one of the top-selling electric SUVs in the Middle Kingdom.

Of course, that doesn't mean it's going to overtake Tesla this year, but it does mean that Nio has evolved into a legitimate contender in the race to bring an affordable electric SUV to market.

Manufacturing Consent For Trump's Invasion Of Cuba Authored by Natasha Bannan via Common Dreams , Yves here. I wish I had the time to research and unpack more clearly is the set of legal theories the US is abusing to prosecute Nicholas Maduro and his wife and now to justify the arrest of Raul Castro and the conquest of Cuba. The US seriously takes the position that we can impose strained invocations of US rules against terrorism and engage in extrajudicial seizures, as in kidnapping. The article below describes how we are now putting a lot of weight on the thin reed of enforcing Batista-era property rights. These days, most of Havana's streets are fairly empty of cars, but full of people walking or riding bicycles, electric bikes, electric "tricycles," or scooters. Trash has piled up on most corners where regular pick-up has become impossible given that the garbage trucks have no gasoline. The average conversation starts off with comparing who's gone the longest without electricity. The sympathy flows, as you exchange stories of what else you are going without: water , gas, food, medicine, transportation . People list the family members they haven't been able to see and the medical appointments they've missed. Inevitably, someone will say better days are coming - "because they have to" - and to keep moving forward. This week alone, the US Department of Justice indicted Raul Castro, the former head of state, who's now 94 years old and largely out of public life. In addition, the Supreme Court gave a green light to Cuban-American-owned companies with property claims in Cuba from 67 years ago to sue tourist industry actors who "profited" from that land. Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues to grow more and more publicly agitated with Cuba's refusal to bow to his demands, and Trump's consistent incoherence shows an absolute lack of any clear policy position towards Cuba, aside from one that may economically benefit him and/or his family. The indictment of Castro is ...

You don't have to claim Social Security right when you retire. However, many people do start their benefits at the same time as their paychecks stop. This makes sense, because Social Security is often an important source of income for seniors.

You don't have to claim Social Security right when you retire. However, many people do start their benefits at the same time as their paychecks stop. This makes sense, because Social Security is often an important source of income for seniors. Since it's so common to retire and start benefits right away, it can be helpful to understand what the average Social Security benefit is at the most popular retirement ages. Knowing the size of the benefit checks that the typical senior collects will give you insight into what to expect if you retire when the majority of your peers do. Continue reading

The bearish case against XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) , the native token of the XRP Ledger, is arguably getting stronger. The token was primarily used as a bridge currency for fiat transactions on Ripple's blockchain-based payment platform. Still, Ripple's new stablecoin -- Ripple USD (CRYPTO: RLUSD) -- can achieve the same thing with a lot less volatility. XRP also isn't valued by its scarcity in the same way as Bitcoin , since its developers minted the entire supply of 100 billion tokens before its market debut. Its ledger also doesn't natively support smart contracts, which are used to develop decentralized apps, so it can't be considered a developer-oriented token like Ethereum .
