Scientists in the US have successfully created human eggs from skin cells, marking a potential revolution in fertility treatment. The early-stage research, led by Prof Shoukhrat Mitalipov at Oregon Health and Science University, could one day allow women who are infertile due to age, illness or medical treatment to have genetically related children. The same technique could also provide eggs for same-sex male couples. The process draws on cloning methods first used to create Dolly the sheep in the 1990s. Researchers removed nuclei from female skin cells and placed them into donor eggs that had been stripped of their own…

Donald Trump has once again threatened a 100% tariff on all films made outside the United States. He claimed America’s film industry had been “stolen” by other nations. California in Trump’s spotlight On Monday, Trump argued California suffered most from the current situation. He said the levy would “solve this long time, never ending problem”.

New tariffs already rolling out Trump’s threat followed the launch of other tariffs. These included a 100% levy on branded or patented drug…
Researchers tested VER-01, an experimental cannabis extract, on adults suffering persistent lower back pain. Patients reported meaningful reductions in pain over several months. Unlike smoking cannabis, the extract delivers precise doses, minimizing psychoactive effects and avoiding respiratory risks. Scientists designed VER-01 to reduce pain while limiting addiction or serious side effects. Chronic lower back pain affects over 619 million people worldwide and remains the leading cause of disability. Current treatments, such as opioids, carry high addiction potential, while NSAIDs risk heart and gastrointestinal problems. Many patients struggle to find effective, safe solutions. Clinical Trial Demonstrates Measurable Relief The study enrolled…
Europe Shifts to Biometric Border ProcessingStarting October 12, 2025, Americans traveling to Europe will be subject to a new border system as the European Union implements the Entry/Exit System (EES).

Biometric data is collected during the initial entry and retained for future trips, allowing faster processing on subsequent visits. Children under 12…
New Zealand’s fastest bird, the kārearea falcon, has soared to victory in the country’s annual Bird of the Year competition – a rare scandal-free edition of the famously quirky poll. The kārearea, capable of reaching speeds of 200km/h when diving for prey, is the nation’s only endemic falcon and an important aerial predator in native ecosystems. Small and tawny, with piercing dark eyes and formidable talons, it hunts birds, lizards and small mammals, sometimes even those larger than itself. With just 5,000–8,000 left in the wild, the species is classed as threatened. Its ground-nesting habits leave eggs and chicks highly…
Insider threats rarely reach the spotlight in cyber-crime. Few workers encounter them. Even fewer dare to reveal their stories. I became one of those exceptions. A criminal group recently contacted me with an offer that exposed how hackers try to enlist insiders. The first contact The approach came suddenly. “If you are interested, we can offer you 15% of any ransom payment if you give us access to your PC.” The message came from someone calling themselves Syndicate. They reached out in July via the encrypted app Signal. I had never heard of them, but their intention was obvious. They…
Supermarket shelves in 2025 are lined with colourful cans claiming to bring “calm” and “focus.” These so-called functional drinks often feature trendy ingredients like Ashwagandha, Lion’s Mane mushrooms, L-theanine, and magnesium, marketed as natural ways to ease stress and sharpen the mind. The boom is real: the global functional beverage market is projected to hit €212 billion by 2030, driven by younger generations moving away from alcohol and towards wellness-focused alternatives. “These products fit perfectly into today’s wellness culture,” says dietitian Nicolle Cucco. “In a fast-paced world, the idea of a quick, drinkable fix is very attractive.” But do they…
Germany ends decades of reliance on the United States, says US expert Josef Braml. Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared the Bundeswehr will become Europe’s strongest conventional army. The government must solve personnel shortages and rapidly modernize equipment to meet this goal. Politico reports Germany plans €83 billion in armaments, mostly sourced from European manufacturers. Officials aim to complete 154 major procurements between September 2025 and December 2026, limiting US purchases to eight percent. Europe imported three times more US arms between 2020 and 2024 than in the previous five years. Germany increased imports by 334 percent, with around 70 percent sourced…
