Premier League: 10 things to look out for as the new season kicks off

Manchester United’s new-look midfield, Ipswich’s ambition is tested and Kevin Keegan tributes at Newcastle

While Myles Lewis-Skelly looks likely to remain at the Emirates, the same can’t be said for Ethan Nwaneri. The 19-year-old was outstanding in his breakthrough season for Arsenal in 2024-25 but barely featured last season and was sent on loan to Marseille. That didn’t really work out and Arsenal are now exploring another temporary move to ensure Nwaneri gets regular football this season. Milan, RB Leipzig, Dortmund and Fulham are all thought to be interested, with Nwaneri unlikely to feature on the bench for Friday’s opener against Coventry as a result. Whether Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus are available remains to be seen as Arsenal attempt to find suitors for the Brazil duo. Ed Aarons

European playoffs: Rangers scrape first-leg win as Brighton draw in Norway

  • 10-man Rangers hang on for 1-0 win against Jablonec

  • Tromsø 0-0 Brighton; Hearts 2-2 Rapid Vienna

Ryan Naderi’s second-half strike gave an unconvincing Rangers a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg of their Conference League playoff tie against Czech side Jablonec at Ibrox. Derek McInnes got his first win as Rangers manager at the fifth time of asking with a 5-1 thumping of St Mirren on Sunday but there was regression in the goalless first half which brought boos at the interval whistle.

The Govan side pepped up after the break and Naderi opened the scoring from close range in the 50th minute but in the 78th minute the substitute Cammy Devlin was sent off – minutes after coming off the bench – for a high tackle on Jiri Slama to leave Rangers to see out the game with 10 men.

Returning to the earth.....

John from Brisbane has added a photo to the pool:

Returning to the earth.....

from which she came, the HMQS Gayundah is now on her last legs at Woody Point, Queensland where she has been beached since 1958.

"HMQS Gayundah was a flat-iron gunboat operated by the Queensland Maritime Defence Force and later the Royal Australian Navy (as HMAS Gayundah). She entered service in 1884 and was decommissioned and sold to a civilian company in 1921. She then served as sand and gravel barge in Brisbane until the 1950s, when she was scrapped. In 1958, Gayundah was run aground at Woody Point near Redcliffe, to serve as a breakwater structure".

Overlooked now by high rise home units, she is so badly deteriorated and dangerous to anyone who explores her, large sections of the seaward side have been removed in recent times.

The Cormorants think she makes a great home!

Trump wil in 2030 duizend Amerikaanse ruimtelanceringen per jaar

WASHINGTON (ANP) - President Donald Trump wil dat er meer Amerikaanse ruimtelanceringen worden uitgevoerd. Hij ondertekende donderdag een memorandum waarin hij overheidsinstanties opdraagt maatregelen te nemen om tegen 2030 jaarlijks minstens duizend lanceringen mogelijk te maken.

Vorig jaar voerden de Verenigde Staten 178 ruimtelanceringen uit. Dat aantal is tien keer hoger dan in 2013.

In het memorandum roept Trump overheidsinstanties op om de ontwikkeling van infrastructuur voor ruimtevervoer samen met partners uit de private sector te stimuleren. Ook wil hij dat vergunningsprocedures en milieubeoordelingen sneller gaan voor ruimtelanceringen.

"The story of the camera's 'pre-invention' was more interesting"

Danny Robb (Inverting Vision, 08/10/2026), "Kodak's 'Pre-Invented' Lunar Orbiter Camera; or, The Fate of SAMOS Readout": "When Kodak joined Boeing's bid for the Lunar Orbiter in 1963, the camera system already existed. The company had originally developed it for the Air Force in the 1950s as a part of the highly classified satellite surveillance program called Weapons System 117L (WS-117L)." As a next read, Robb suggests his post on "The First Time NASA Photographed a Lunar Lander." Robb on BlueSky. His master's thesis, "Robots in the Kingdom of Apollo: Lunar Orbiter Photography and the Scientist-Explorer in the Twentieth Century." Other work at Aeon: "How the Moon became a place."

The principal aim of President Trump’s second term is revenge,” says Jamelle Bouie. “Revenge shapes the president’s priorities, drives his actions and structures the decisions of his government.”
