Galleries at the 20th Solheim Cup have been granted a blockbuster start with Nelly Korda and Charley Hull to face off in Friday morning’s foursomes.

• ‘Image and unity’ of game affected, FFF president says

• It will consult sacked former Fifa official Kevin Lamour

The FFF’s executive committee unanimously voted on Thursday to withdraw its backing, which had been formalised at the end of June. Diallo referred to “events during the World Cup” which had “flagrantly gone against the way we believe our sport should be run” and to Infantino’s World Cup sell-off plan, which was revealed in July and scrapped after a widespread backlash.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: Apple has unveiled the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 today during itsSeptember hardware event. The new models retain the signature designs of their predecessors but add a faster S11 chip, new health and fitness features, and the watchOS 27 software update announced atWWDC last June. Both the Series 12 and Ultra 4 run on the upgraded S11 chip, which Apple says delivers faster CPU and GPU performance, along with improved Siri capabilities. Apple is also expanding the smartwatch's wellness-tracking suite with a redesigned Health app that includes a Longevity tab with new metrics, like Health Age and a Readiness score.

There's also a new "Health Sensing System," designed with 32 electrodes for more accurate readings (the Series 11 only had two), photodiodes organized in a ring to capture light more efficiently, and new LEDs that allow heart rate measurements to be collected every 5 seconds, giving you a continuous stream of heart data throughout the day. Apple Watch Series 12 also includes faster charging, though battery life remains at 24 hours. Meanwhile, the Ultra 4 increases battery life to 50 hours.

WatchOS 27 also brings deeper Siri and Apple Intelligence integration, including AI-suggested apps, new one-handed gestures, expanded workout and women's health tracking, and Siri Recap for real-time transcription and translation.

De onveiligste werkgever van Nederland (ex aequo met Studio Sport, D66 en BNNVARA) gaat reorganiseren. Heb je je een paar jaar lang laten afblaffen door je Stopera-baas, ben je voortdurend vernederd en gepest, heb je het maar over je kant laten gaan dat een meerdere z'n tong in je mond heeft gepropt, 'verstand op nul en doorgaan' in tegenstelling tot vrijwel al je collega's die overspannen thuis zitten, verplicht al die malle trainingen ondergaan, keihard geïntimideerd door burgemeester Halsema, racistisch bejegend, seksueel geïntimideerd - maar tóch bleef je op je plek een tóch bleef je je best doen voor de gemeente Amsterdam. En nu pleuren ze je op straat, samen met circa 2.499 anderen, alsof je afval bent. Helaas: afval wordt nooit opgehaald in Amsterdam. Oh ja: alle directeuren mogen wél blijven zitten.

De economiepodcast won de prijs met een verkiezingsspecial over de doorrekening van de verkiezingsprogramma’s door het Centraal Planbureau.
