‘Every day the policy changes’: chaos and confusion for Filipino workers over US immigration rules
The US relies on migrant workers in crucial sectors but shifting policies under Donald Trump create uncertainty and fear Jay*, a Filipino migrant, cares for an 82-year-old US veteran in San Francisco’s Bay Area who has suffered from a stroke. They were playing a word search memory game together when Jay saw the news on Facebook about a policy memo from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Florentino Pérez to remain as Real Madrid president after overwhelming election win
Enrique Riquelme loses challenge against Pérez José Mourinho will now be confirmed as manager Florentino Pérez will continue as president of Real Madrid after winning their first elections in 20 years, paving the way for his plans to sell 5% of the club. Pérez, who has been president for 23 years across two spells – first between 2000 and 2006 and then since 2009, winning the last five elections unopposed. The 37-year-old challenger, Enrique Riquelme, lost the vote after 75,219 members exercised their right to vote. The results were held up after Riquelme challenged the validity of around 1,000 postal votes, of which over 400 were eventually struck off. The victory means that José Mourinho should be formally announced as manager on Monday, with Madrid paying Benfica a €15m (£13m) release fee for the Portuguese coach. Pérez had also promised to make a bid of “at least €150m” on Tuesday for an unnamed “galactico” understood to be Michael Olise. Riquelme said he would appoint Raúl González Blanco as his sporting director and he would attempt to convince Jürgen Klopp to come as coach. He also said he was confident of signing Erling Haaland and Rodri. Continue reading...

Hodgkinson sets British best but Werro surges to 800m success in Stockholm
Swiss star wins with third fastest time in history Hodgkinson targets world record after defeat On a wild summer’s night in Stockholm, a woman ran the quickest 800m since the darkest days of the cold war. But, staggeringly, her name was not Keely Hodgkinson. Britain’s 800m Olympic champion had promised she was in personal best shape, and duly proved as good as her word. But she had no answer to the young Swiss star Audrey Werro, who swooped like lightning across a cloudless sky before crossing the line in 1min 53.98sec. Continue reading...

Declan Rice named as England vice-captain by Tuchel for World Cup bid
Bellingham wore armband in second half v New Zealand Tuchel unsure if Arsenal quartet play against Costa Rica Declan Rice has been named England’s vice-captain by Thomas Tuchel, who has played down the significance of Jude Bellingham wearing the armband during the second half of the 1-0 victory against New Zealand. Although Bellingham captained the side after coming off the bench in Saturday’s World Cup warm-up in Tampa, Tuchel said that was simply because the midfielder was the player on the pitch with the most international appearances.

Alexander Zverev wins first grand slam after holding off Cobolli in French Open
No 2 seed beats Italian 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-1 Wins his first major in his fourth final Two weeks of excruciating nerves and tension across one of the most chaotic men’s grand slam tournaments in recent memory met an appropriate conclusion as a nerve-racking psychodrama ended with Alexander Zverev, the second seed, lifting his first grand slam title by holding off his own demons to close out a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-1 win over the 10th seed Flavio Cobolli in the French Open final. For so long, Zverev had won at every other level: he had triumphed at Masters 1000 events and twice at the ATP Finals, and he earned an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo 2020. But he had lost in all three of his major finals. A grand slam, the biggest title of all, had always evaded him. From the moment Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic were bounced from the tournament in consecutive days, with Carlos Alcaraz absent because of injury, Zverev was clearly the best player remaining in the draw and Cobolli, the world No 14, turned out to be the only top-25 player in his path. It was reasonable to suggest that if the German did not take this massive opportunity, he never would. He has finally cleared that bar. Continue reading...
Tuchel relishes Rashford v Gordon in search for round pegs in round holes
The England coach’s squad is based on picking players in their right positions, setting up a series of one-on-one battles For Thomas Tuchel there is a fringe benefit to Anthony Gordon’s surprise move from Newcastle to Barcelona. “It is excellent,” the England manager said. “It is such a nice trip for me to watch matches. I can only encourage people to go to nice places.”’ Tuchel was in playful mood after England’s first World Cup warm-up match on Saturday – the 1-0 win over New Zealand in Tampa – even if he was not happy with aspects of the performance. It was wholly one-sided but, time and again, his team’s final action was uninspiring. Tuchel complained that his players lacked positional discipline and as a consequence the shape was too narrow, especially in the first half. Continue reading...
Spyro the Dragon returns with a new game after almost two decades
90s PlayStation fans, rejoice: California studio Toys for Bob is making Spyro: Realms Beyond, intended to ‘inspire love, joy and laughter’ As the gaming mascots of millennial childhood have been resuscitated one by one for a nostalgic audience, one has remained notably absent: 1990s PlayStation hero Spyro. A new game starring the purple dragon was announced at tonight’s Xbox Game Showcase – the first original title since 2008. Called Spyro: Realms Beyond, it is being developed by studio Toys for Bob in California and will be released in spring 2027 on Xbox, PlayStation 5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2. It features a freshly redesigned Spyro with his trademark quiff, voiced by Tom Kenny, the original star of the games. Unlike in the original Spyro titles, players will be able to take flight at any time. “[We’re] leaning into the true capabilities of being a dragon,” explains creative director Lou Studdert. “It’s really engaging … the player is making decisions how they fly. They are diving down to sustain speed. They are using fire-breath to light campfires, to create an updraft to get lift before flapping their wings.” Continue reading...
