Chelsea downs Benfica to reach Club World Cup quarters after weather chaos

Kevin Zhang’s home in Gloucester has turned into a bustling mini-warehouse, with piles of parcels from Chinese e-commerce giants like Temu and Shein waiting to be shipped to UK customers. After years running a nail salon, Zhang jumped on the opportunity to join the booming cross-border e-commerce trend, becoming part of a hidden network of "family warehouses" that help these platforms deliver cheap goods at lightning speed.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one man’s side hustle—it’s a peek into how ultra-fast, ultra-cheap online shopping is reshaping retail. These informal home-based operations are the invisible backbone of Shein and Temu’s rapid growth, but they also raise questions about working conditions, sustainability, and how traditional retail can compete. For shoppers, it means more choices and lower prices; for workers like Zhang, it’s a new shot at economic mobility—but at what cost?

China’s Shandong aircraft carrier strike group is making a rare visit to Hong Kong from July 3 to 7, celebrating the 28th anniversary of the city’s handover to Chinese rule. This is the first time in eight years that a PLA Navy carrier group has docked in Hong Kong, and the public will get a chance to tour not only the Shandong but also several accompanying warships, including the Zhanjiang destroyer and Yuncheng frigate. The Post breaks down how locals can snag tickets for this unique opportunity.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a routine port call—it’s a symbolic show of national pride and military advancement, timed to reinforce Hong Kong’s ties to mainland China. For locals, it’s a rare peek into China’s growing naval prowess, especially with the Shandong being a domestically built carrier. Whether you’re a military buff or just curious, it’s a big deal—and tickets will likely go fast.

Glastonbury Festival organizers are under scrutiny after rap acts Kneecap and Bob Vylan allegedly led chants calling for violence against Israel’s military during their sets. Police are now reviewing the comments to determine if any laws were broken. The festival claims the chants "crossed a line," sparking debates over free speech, artistic expression, and the boundaries of political messaging at major events.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a controversial moment at a gig—it taps into bigger tensions around how far performers can go with political statements, especially in highly charged conflicts like Israel-Palestine. With police involved, it could set a precedent for how festivals handle inflammatory rhetoric in the future, balancing artistic freedom against potential incitement. For fans, it’s a reminder that even music stages aren’t immune to real-world fallout.

Picture this: a group of humanoid robots awkwardly shuffling around a soccer field, tripping over themselves, and sometimes even face-planting mid-game. That’s exactly what happened at a 3v3 robot soccer tournament in Beijing—a chaotic but oddly charming spectacle that looked more like a kids’ soccer practice than a pro match. But don’t let the clumsiness fool you; this was actually a big step forward for AI-powered robots learning to move and interact in the real world.

Editor’s Note: Sure, it’s funny to watch robots flail around, but the real story here is progress. Getting robots to play soccer (even badly) means they’re learning coordination, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving—skills that could eventually help in everything from disaster response to household chores. It’s a reminder that even the messiest experiments can push technology forward.

Donald Trump doubled down on his push for a ceasefire in Gaza, urging a deal to bring hostages home and claiming an agreement could be reached within days. He also criticized the corruption charges against Israel's PM Netanyahu, framing them as something the U.S. "won’t stand for" given its financial support for Israel.
