Norway rallies for win over Switzerland in first match at Euro 2025
Norway kicked off their Euro 2025 campaign with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Switzerland, thanks to a second-half header from star striker Ada Hegerberg and a fortuitous own goal by Julia Stierli. The match was tight until Norway broke through after halftime, showing their clinical edge when it mattered.
Editor’s Note: This win gives Norway early momentum in a tough group, especially with Hegerberg—one of the world's best—back in scoring form. For Switzerland, defensive mistakes proved costly, and they’ll need to tighten up fast. It’s a statement start for Norway, who’ll hope this sets the tone for a deep tournament run.

Latest from World Affairs
Hamas says it is consulting other Palestinian groups on Gaza ceasefire plan
neutralWorld Affairs
Hamas is currently discussing a potential 60-day ceasefire in Gaza with other Palestinian factions, according to recent statements. Meanwhile, the US president has hinted that a response from Hamas on the proposed truce could come soon.
Editor’s Note: This story matters because a pause in fighting could mean temporary relief for civilians in Gaza after months of violence—but it’s still unclear whether Hamas will accept the deal or if it’ll hold. The US is closely involved, signaling high-stakes diplomacy at play. If it goes through, it could open the door for more talks; if not, the conflict may escalate again.
New NHS plan will slash foreign recruits from 34% to less than 10% of workforce
negativeWorld Affairs
The UK government, under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, wants to sharply cut the NHS's dependence on foreign workers—dropping from 34% to under 10% by 2035. The plan focuses on giving UK-trained medics first dibs on jobs, but it’s already facing pushback from groups representing Indian doctors and nurses, who worry about the impact on staffing and diversity.
Editor’s Note: The NHS has long relied on overseas staff to fill critical gaps, especially from places like India. Slashing those numbers could strain an already overstretched system—unless the UK suddenly starts churning out way more homegrown doctors and nurses. It’s a risky bet, and the backlash suggests this won’t be a smooth transition.
Oasis reunion tour: the band begin their first tour date in Cardiff – live!
positiveWorld Affairs
The Oasis reunion tour has officially kicked off in Cardiff, marking the first time Noel and Liam Gallagher have shared a stage since 2009. Fans are buzzing—online forums are flooded with hype about the setlist and the electric atmosphere, though locals in Cardiff are (understandably) a bit tired of the tourist frenzy.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another concert—it’s a cultural moment. Oasis splitting was like a divorce in the Britpop family, and their reunion is a big deal for a generation of fans who never thought they’d see it happen. Plus, love it or hate it, the Gallagher brothers’ chaos is always entertaining.
England v India: third women’s T20 cricket international – live
positiveWorld Affairs
England's women's cricket team is off to a strong start against India in the third T20 match at The Oval, with Sophia Dunkley smashing a six and keeping the scoreboard ticking early on. The live coverage captures the energy of the game as the hosts build momentum.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another cricket match—it's part of a growing spotlight on women's sports, where thrilling performances like Dunkley's are drawing bigger audiences and proving the game's entertainment value. A fast-paced T20 clash like this helps solidify the sport's appeal beyond traditional fans.
Flash floods hit Texas Hill Country: Multiple dead, dozens rescued in overnight deluge; emergency ops underway
negativeWorld Affairs
A sudden and brutal flash flood swept through Texas Hill Country overnight, killing several people and forcing emergency crews to rescue dozens more. The worst-hit area was Kerr County, where the Guadalupe River burst its banks after relentless heavy rain. Local officials, including Judge Rob Kelly, confirmed deaths but haven’t released names yet. Governor Greg Abbott has mobilized state resources to help with the crisis, but the full scale of the damage is still coming into focus.
Editor’s Note: Flash floods are terrifyingly fast and unpredictable—this wasn’t just a heavy rainstorm but a life-threatening emergency that caught people off guard. Beyond the immediate tragedy, recovery will take time, especially with infrastructure damage and displaced families. It’s also a grim reminder of how extreme weather is becoming more frequent, even in places not always associated with flooding.
