More than 400 teams are competing at the RoboCup Iran Open in Tehran, where students build and programme football-playing robots using sensors and AI. Organisers say a growing number of schoolgirls are joining, hoping to pursue tech careers.
Al Jazeera’s Cara Legg reports.
Over 30 Reportedly Die, 50 Hospitalised After Consuming Locally Made Alcoholic Drink In Ondo.
Earlier this week, a saw a trending video of the Nafdac Chairman laughing and making mockery of the call for her resignation for Nigerians.
This is the country we are living in!
Well deserved
Argentina tried to rage-bait Spain from the very start of the match, but Spain stayed calm, kept their composure, and remained fully focused on the game. Spain dominated both mentally and physically. 🫡🫡🫡

🇺🇸🇮🇷 One dead American service member ends the ceasefire, whether the strike was aimed or an accident.
Analyst Stefano Ritondale maps the escalation ladder to its breaking point, and it comes down to a single variable: service member casualties.
The chilling part of his assessment is that intent stops mattering.
A strike deliberately designed to inflict losses and a freak battlefield anomaly produce the identical result, because the Western security framework runs on an exceptionally low tolerance for casualties.
One death, however it happens, and Stefano says the response will be severe and destabilizing.
The entire ceasefire is balanced on a threshold nobody fully controls.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Over 80 targets hit in one wave, 60 IRGC gunboats among them, and the revoked oil waivers could still outweigh every bomb dropped tonight
CENTCOM's statement landed while we were live: air defenses, command networks, coastal radar, anti-ship missile sites, and SIXTY of the small boats Iran uses to squeeze shipping.
Iran's answer came fast, drones over Bahrain and reportedly anti-ship missiles at US warships, intercepted so far.
But Stefano Ritondale kept pulling my eyes off the explosions and onto the paperwork.
Strikes get absorbed, he argued; sides trade blows and find equilibrium.
Killing the waivers guts the one conduit that brought Iran to the table, and it teaches every future buyer that sanctions snap back overnight, so who signs even if they return?
A liquidity-starved economy just lost its only breath of air.
His prediction: Tehran's next demand will be something irreversible, frozen assets released outright.
His read on why Iran hit those ships at all: the southern route was hardening into the new normal, convoy spacing on the trackers suggests coordination making it work, and their strongest card was bleeding value.
One unconfirmed report claims only the regular army is retaliating, which he took as messaging for home, not restraint.

You need to have balls of steel to drive "intellectual" conversations in today's Nigeria social media space.
As for the congregation of the uprisen olodos, in the conversation of the Olodo uprising - I have decided to share my own think piece.
Bannon On The Proposed Deal With Iran: I Think At Some Point In Time President Trump Is Gonna Say Ok Let's Start Talking About The Kinetic Alternatives. I Just Don't See President Trump Down Stroking A $12 Billion Dollar Check For The Pleasure Of Dealing With These Guys.
@Middle_Eastern0 Ibrahim Traoré’s statement reflects growing anti-Western sentiment in Africa, rejecting elections as foreign ideas. He prioritizes sovereignty, security, and local governance over Western-style democracy, similar to leaders in Mali and Niger.
@ChuksEricE Nigeria has the highest simps and men with low self-esteem in the world. They have successfully damaged our girls.
When you approach a Nigerian girl all she focuses on is how much material things she can get from you.
Our men are the enablers of this nonsense.
"Nigeria has the highest rate of men with low self-esteem; more than 80% of Nigerian men cannot properly approach a woman without putting money first"
