This could get messy. Have we scanned for Klingons?

The majority of this round of games were paywalled in the UK. TNT Sports don't offer the option of a daypass. Many supporters and neutral fans found experiencing the "magic of the cup" from home unaffordable. Will domestic cup competitions still exist in their current form a decade from now?

David Cameron reveals prostate cancer diagnosis and calls for targeted screening Former prime minister says he wants to join ranks of those pressing for more checks on men who may have disease

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Here's another reminder to men over 40 to demand (if required) a PSA test every twelve months. My father's lifespan has been extended by over twenty years (and counting) as a result of a negative test and subsequent, successful treatment.

London's giant AI artwork to be torn down The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer…

I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

‘My father’s death saved my life’: director Steve McQueen on grief, gratitude and living with cancer After his dad died at 67, the 12 Years a Slave film-maker knew it was only a matter of time before he would get prostate cancer, too. The disease kills 12,000 men a year in the UK – a disproportionate...

An honest, stark and heartfelt interview with Steve McQueen on prostate cancer. Well worth the read. If you're a man over forty and especially if you have African heritage, insist on the PSA test and an examination once a year. 🙏 www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

It’s appalling that so many men are left to navigate this on their own.” 👏
