The wait goes on for David Moyes. The Scot must have been hoping that, on his 14th visit to this stadium as Everton’s manager, his luck would finally change. Yet from the moment Ezri Konsa slammed home his first goal for Arsenal as the Premier League champions rediscovered their knack of scoring from set pieces, the writing was on the wall for Moyes against his former captain, Mikel Arteta.

While it took until midway through the second half for Gabriel Magalhães to make sure of the victory, Arsenal never looked likely to let slip the chance of moving level on points at the top with Manchester City after their defeat by Aston Villa earlier in the day. This was hardly a vintage performance from Arteta’s clinical side but it didn’t need to be against opponents who offered precious little in attack, even if they defended for their lives at times. Having gone six matches without defeat to start the season, a second in succession will only add to Moyes’s concerns after confirmation that the club’s American owners want out.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy offers thanks to US allies for restoring system key to air defence and ‘frontline logistics’

Ukraine’s military has a “stable connection to Starlink”, the Ukrainian government has said, 10 days after its ability to use the satellite communications system was suddenly restricted.

The Starlink satellite terminals, which are produced by Elon Musk’s SpaceX but managed by the US government, are a key component of Ukraine’s military operations. Sudden speed restrictions on the terminals, which capped operations at speeds of 160km/h (99mph), led to the failure of several Ukrainian combat missions earlier this month.

On Mars, skin spends most of the day sealed inside a suit. Weeks of friction and repeated irritation leave a barrier that has no time to recover. OASE is a speculative skincare brand for the first settlers on Mars. Instead of prescribing products for a fixed skin type, it tracks how skin responds as people move between the airlock, living quarters and sleep pods, and adjusts care as those responses change. The name comes from oasis. Mars once held water, and traces of it still remain in its rock. OASE takes that idea as its premise: a small source of care in an environment that offers none. Care runs on the O.A.S.I.S. protocol, a five-step cycle (Observe, Assess, Separate, Invigorate, Sync) that begins again once it ends. It is delivered through a single kit that combines a smart mirror, a skincare device and four cosmetic products. The identity pairs Martian red with the blue of ancient water, and its circular graphics follow the cycle of care, depicting adaptation as a process tha

Drie jongens van 14, 19 en 21 jaar uit Rotterdam zijn opgepakt voor het oplichten van een 91-jarige man uit Hellevoetsluis. Tijdens een babbeltruc is er 250 euro van de man gestolen.

PARIJS (ANP/AFP) - De Franse politie meldt dat 110.000 mensen hebben deelgenomen aan de grote protestmars in Parijs. Die demonstratie zou tot nu toe "kalm" zijn verlopen. In andere Franse steden is de situatie al wel onrustig en grijpt de politie in.

De mars in Parijs werd op het laatste moment verplaatst. De demonstranten wilden van de Place de la Bastille naar de Place de la Nation lopen, maar dat mocht niet. De optocht moest in plaats daarvan beginnen op de Porte d'Italie en eindigen bij de Porte de Vincennes, verder buiten het centrum.

De politie in Parijs zegt 3000 mensen te hebben gestopt voor controles. 65 mensen werden aangehouden.

In onder meer Lyon, Lille, Toulouse en Montpellier gaat het er veel onrustiger aan toe. Daar heeft de politie traangas ingezet en kwamen er confrontaties tussen agenten en betogers.

ROTTERDAM (ANP) - Turnster Naomi Visser (25) is in de brugfinale bij de WK in Rotterdam buiten de medailles geëindigd. Visser kwam na een gedegen oefening tot 14,366 punten, goed voor de vijfde plaats. Dat is haar beste brugresultaat ooit op een WK.

Het goud was voor olympisch brugkampioene Kaylia Nemour uit Algerije, die daarmee haar wereldtitel prolongeerde. Nemour turnde 15,333 punten bij elkaar. Daarmee hield ze Helen Kevric uit Duitsland (14,833) en de Amerikaanse Skye Blakely (14,600) achter zich.

Voor Visser was het haar vierde WK-brugfinale. In 2025, 2023 en 2022 stond ze ook al in de finale bij de wereldtitelstrijd.

Visser was in Rotterdam de enige Nederlander die een toestelfinale wist te bereiken.

The decision leaves the future of Russia’s alternative to Eurovision uncertain a year after Moscow revived the Soviet-era competition.
