The weather forecast is in ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix, which will be held at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit.

This shaggy beast is now plastered across everything from mugs to hot water bottles. Or you can sit on her, wrap yourself in her, wipe your feet on her …

Picture this: you get home from work, wipe your feet on your doormat, which has a picture of a highland cow on it, sniff the flowers growing from your highland cow-shaped plant pot, then step inside, hang your coat on one of your highland-cow-themed hooks and put some water on to boil in your highland cow kettle. When the tea is ready, you drink it from one of your highland cow mugs, plucked from a highland cow mug tree, discarding the teabag in a highland cow-emblazoned pedal bin. Oops, you’ve spilled a drop, but not to worry – there’s a fresh roll of kitchen roll waiting for you in between the resin cow-butt and cow-head of its highland cow-shaped holder.

You then carry the tea to your living room, and place it (atop a highland cow coaster, of course) on your coffee table, which has been carved into the shape of a highland cow, before taking a seat in an accent chair made to resemble a highland cow’s head. If you get cold, you can always wrap yourself in a hooded throw, designed to make the wearer look like a highland cow, or reach for your dressing gown-wearing highland cow hot-water bottle.

• Club have been found guilty of breaking financial rules

• City deny wrongdoing, saying it is a ‘conspiracy theory’

Manchester City are set to owe the Premier League tens of millions of pounds in compensation for legal costs after being found guilty of virtually all charges brought against them.

The Premier League announced on Tuesday that an independent commission had determined the club had artificially inflated their income by £900m over a nine-year period. The panel concluded that Manchester City had arranged “sham” contracts to boost revenues to comply with spending rules.

De afgelopen jaren is in Gaza op grote schaal cultureel erfgoed verwoest door Israëlische aanvallen. Niet alleen gebouwen, ook boeken en manuscripten. In de oude wijk van Gaza-Stad proberen Palestijnen te redden wat er te redden valt. „Het voelde alsof een deel van mijn identiteit was afgenomen.”

Tussen 1979 en 2025 is elke tien jaar een hoeveelheid zee-ijs ongeveer ter grootte van Spanje verdwenen in het Noordpoolgebied, meldt de Europese klimaatdienst Copernicus in een rapport over oceanen.

De klimaatdienst spreekt van "ingrijpende veranderingen" in het landschap. Door het verdwenen zee-ijs zijn er meer wind en golven bij de Arctische kust. Dat leidt ertoe dat 60 procent van de kust in het Noordpoolgebied kwetsbaar is voor erosie of zeespiegelstijging.

De regio is niet alleen belangrijk vanwege de potentieel gevaarlijke gevolgen van klimaatverandering, maar is ook geopolitiek steeds meer van belang. Door de Amerikaanse, Russische en Chinese aanwezigheid in het gebied probeert ook de EU zich steeds meer te laten gelden in en rondom de Noordpool.

Het rapport meldt verder dat de zeespiegel sinds 2012 elk jaar met 4,2 millimeter is gestegen door opwarming. De klimaatdienst noteerde dat in 2024 de gemiddelde temperatuur van de Middellandse Zee en de Zwarte Zee 4,6 graden boven het gemiddelde lag.
