Winter Olympics: Canada escape shock exit at hands of Czechs in men’s ice hockey

  • Mitch Marner scores in overtime to seal 4-3 win

  • Canadians lose star Sidney Crosby to injury

Nick Suzuki tied the game on a deflection with 3:27 left, Mitch Marner scored in overtime, and Canada avoided what would have been a stunning quarter-final exit at the Olympics by rallying to beat the Czech Republic 4-3 on Wednesday.

“I never had a doubt, but it was getting a little nerve-racking,” defenseman Drew Doughty said.

Plug-in hybrids use three times more fuel than manufacturers claim, analysis finds

While most hybrids are said to use one to two litres of fuel per 100km, a study claims they need six litres on average

Plug-in hybrid electric cars (PHEVs) use much more fuel on the road than officially stated by their manufacturers, a large-scale analysis of around a million vehicles of this type has shown.

The Fraunhofer Institute carried out what is thought to be the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, using the data transmitted wirelessly by the PHEVs whilst they were on the road, from a variety of manufacturers.

Vinícius, Mourinho and treating racism as reputational risk rather than a lived reality | Jonathan Liew

The Brazilian has seen this before, football has seen this before and yet why does it feel like nothing ever changes?

José Mourinho: against provoking opposition fans. José Mourinho: in favour of restrained celebrations. José Mourinho, once of the poke-in-the-eye, sprint-down-the-touchline, accost-the-referee-in-the-car-park school of footballing expression: now apparently very big on showing respect to the game. Well, it seems like we’ve all been on a journey here.

“I told him the biggest person in the history of this club was Black,” Mourinho recounted when asked about his conversation with Vinícius Júnior on Tuesday night. “This club, the last thing that it is, is racist.” And doubtless these words will have been a profound source of comfort to Vinícius in his lowest moment, having been insulted on the pitch by an opposition player in a Champions League playoff.

Vítor Pereira back on familiar ground as he begins Nottingham Forest revival mission

Portuguese managed Fenerbahce and leads his new side into their Europa League playoff sounding confident

As Vítor Pereira wrapped up his pre-match media duties at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Wednesday evening, his assistant Luís Miguel Moreira da Silva waited at the mouth of the tunnel. “Let’s go?” he said as Pereira eventually emerged, before the Nottingham Forest squad followed the pair on to the pitch.

Then it was down to business, Pereira’s first assignment in charge of Forest at one of his 13 former clubs, Fenerbahce. For Pereira, the Kadikoy district of Istanbul represents familiar territory, having lived in the city across two enjoyable but trophy-less spells here as a manager, most recently in 2021.

The Guardian view on UK-EU defence: moving in the right direction, much too slowly

The threat of Russian aggression makes a compelling case for urgent continental cooperation

For Vladimir Putin, peace talks with Ukraine are war pursued by other means. That is why progress has been so slow in negotiations, which resumed in Geneva this week. The Russian president demands the surrender of territory that his army has failed so far to win in combat. Since Mr Putin cannot be trusted to honour any agreement, Volodymyr Zelenskyy rightly insists on robust security guarantees. The Kremlin remains committed to restoring national pride through territorial expansion. Mr Putin might accept a lull in the Ukraine conflict, but only to regroup. He must be deterred from resuming a campaign aimed at extinguishing Ukraine’s sovereignty.

His country’s economy and propaganda apparatus are increasingly oriented towards sustaining a long war. He has shown little sign of abandoning efforts to weaken Nato and punish European democracies for backing Kyiv. The intent is signalled by a campaign of constant provocations: sabotage, maritime and air incursions, cyber-attacks and online disinformation.

See the Best of Nearly Half a Million Entries to the Sony World Photography Awards

For its 19th edition, the Sony World Photography Awards welcomed over 430,000 submissions for its Open competition from photographers in more than 200 countries and territories around the globe. Ten categories, ranging from portraiture to landscapes to travel, encompass the staggering breadth and beauty of nature and society captured throughout 2025.

The contest has announced the category winners, including Robby Ogilvie’s vibrant composition of a vintage car in front of colorful buildings in the Bo-Kaap neighborhood in Cape Town, South Africa, and Klaus Hellmich’s portrait of an arctic fox braving a blizzard.

“The Open competition recognises the best single images taken in the last year,
celebrating the power of an individual image to pique curiosity, spark imagination, and reveal a wider narrative,” says a statement.

The top award of Open Photographer of the Year will be announced on April 16 in London, the day after which the contest’s exhibition opens at Somerset House, where it remains on view through May 4.

Microsoft Says Bug Causes Copilot To Summarize Confidential Emails

Microsoft says a Microsoft 365 Copilot bug has been causing the AI assistant to summarize confidential emails since late January, bypassing data loss prevention (DLP) policies that organizations rely on to protect sensitive information. From a report: According to a service alert seen by BleepingComputer, this bug (tracked under CW1226324 and first detected on January 21) affects the Copilot "work tab" chat feature, which incorrectly reads and summarizes emails stored in users' Sent Items and Drafts folders, including messages that carry confidentiality labels explicitly designed to restrict access by automated tools.

Copilot Chat (short for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat) is the company's AI-powered, content-aware chat that lets users interact with AI agents. Microsoft began rolling out Copilot Chat to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote for paying Microsoft 365 business customers in September 2025.

Paniek bij arbeidsongeschikten over dreigende verlaging van hun uitkering. Volgens experts is het juridisch onhaalbaar

Voor meer dan honderdduizend arbeidsongeschikten en werklozen dreigt een inkomensval tot wel 926 euro per maand, omdat het aanstaande kabinet-Jetten de maximale uitkeringen wil verlagen. Volgens juristen schendt dat het eigendomsrecht. Bij mensen zelf heerst onbegrip: „Het voelt alsof ik gestraft word.”

A Sense of Getting Closer

With music by Max Cooper and visuals by Conner Griffith, A Sense of Getting Closer is a music video that was inspired by a quote submitted to Cooper’s On Being project:

I have a sense of getting closer to something which my life depends on. I can sense it but I cannot tell if I should be excited or terrified about what will happen.

Mesmerizing. Like literally, given that it’s based on “a hypnotic light show we can’t look away from, yet we know is made up of low-quality content fed to us by engagement algorithms.”

Waarom dinosaurussen wel, maar vogels niet uitstierven

Toen 66 miljoen jaar geleden de dinosaurussen uitstierven, overleefde één groep afstammelingen: de vogels. En dat kwam, omdat die dieren in tientallen miljoenen jaren tijd weer klein waren geworden. Tegenwoordig zijn er 10.000 vogelsoorten.

Daarmee is het de meest diverse groep dieren met vier ledematen ter wereld. Ooit waren dinosaurussen klein. 230 miljoen jaar geleden wogen de meesten tussen de 10 en 35 kilo. Ze waren zo groot als een gemiddelde hond.

Maar al snel werden ze groter. Binnen 30 miljoen jaar wogen ze 10.000 kilo. Nog later werden sommige soorten wel 35 meter lang en wogen 90.000 kilo. De dino's stopten wel met groeien, maar behielden hun grootte, behalve de maniraptora. Van deze gevederde dieren werd een deel juist weer klein. En alleen de dieren die nog maar een kilo wogen, overleefden de asteroïde-inslag, die de dinosaurussen de kop kostte. Dat waren de vogels. Doordat ze zo klein waren, konden ze zich makkelijker aanpassen aan de veranderde omstandigheden in tegenstelling tot de enorme dinosaurussen met bijbehorende grote honger. De voorouders van de vogel werden in eerste instantie kleiner, omdat ze daardoor beter konden vliegen. Dat kost met minder gewicht uiteraard minder energie.

Deze Maassluizer komt nu alsnog in de Tweede Kamer: 'Het werd ineens werkelijkheid'

Robin van Leijen gaat waarschijnlijk toch de Tweede Kamer in. De Maassluizer stond op de landelijke kieslijst van D66 op plek 28 en kwam in oktober vorig jaar net tekort voor een zetel. Omdat zijn partij naar verwachting de nieuwe premier (Rob Jetten) én meerdere ministers en staatssecretarissen gaat leveren, komen er in de 26-koppige Kamerfractie plaatsen vrij. Daardoor schuift Van Leijen waarschijnlijk alsnog door.

February 14th marked the 35th anniversary of the launch of a little puzzle game for the Amiga that would rocket to popularity on the backs of its little green-headed hero-victims. Lemmings helped secure the fortunes of its creators, DMA Design (who would go on to make a little franchise called Grand Theft Auto). For its anniversary, many of the original team sat down with YouTuber onaretrotip to talk about the creation of the game and its legacy.

Though the game was built on the core of lemmings being suicidal little guys, it turns out that most of what people know about actual lemmings is complete false
