Thieves have stolen 30,000 bottles of some of Italy’s most sought-after wines in a heist worth an estimated €5 million (R92 million), with the operation raising questions about how the gang knew exactly when to strike. https://t.co/Oc7K5luGAT
Former England international Raheem Sterling faces a possible prison sentence after pleading guilty to dangerous driving and possession of nitrous oxide.
Sterling, 31, was behind the wheel of a Lamborghini, inhaling the class C drug from balloons and driving in an “absolutely horrendous” manner, when he careered off a busy road in Hampshire during the morning rush-hour on May 28 this year.
Sterling admitted to the police that “he had a problem” with nitrous oxide after being arrested for the drug-driving crash, a court was told.

🚨 Michael Carrick: “We haven't started the season that bad, to be honest. It could have been better, but we were that close to coming away with three points today”.
“Little moments that we can deal with a bit better, but we'll be fine”.
Rashford was #mufc's best forward, Everton's right back was on a booking yet he was substituted for a full back, by trade. Rashford requested an energy drink, so suspect that influenced the change but it set the wrong tone. Everton were clearly lifted by Grealish.
The thing United fans get wrong about Mainoo is this, his talent has never been in doubt, but his consistency has. Can he put up that performance from Sunday, next week, and the week after that!
Every day, a new 52-week high for European natural gas.
Europeans now pay 8.6 (!) times more for natural gas than Americans.
And the bidding war with Asia to fill storage sites for next winter has not even started yet.
Former Cameroon star Samuel Eto’o has thrown his support behind FIFA's President Gianni Infantino saying he “hasn’t done anything wrong” despite facing mounting pressure to step down over a controversial World Cup selloff plan.

MP ADAMS' COMMISSION TESTIMONY ON ICT SUPPORT PROVIDED BY PARLIAMENT
Parliament, Tuesday, 11 August 2026 - Parliament has noted statements made by National Coloured Congress Member of Parliament Mr Fadiel Adams during his appearance before the Madlanga Commission this morning, in which he attributed delays in accessing correspondence from the Commission to persistent problems with his Parliament-issued laptop.
Mr Adams indicated, among other things, that his laptop had been problematic for approximately 18 months, was frequently either frozen or in for repairs, and that this had affected his ability to access information.
Ordinarily, Parliament would not comment on explanations offered by a Member in proceedings before a commission of inquiry. However, insofar as these claims create the impression that Parliament failed over an extended period to provide a Member with functional tools of trade necessary for the performance of his constitutional responsibilities, the institutional record requires clarification.
Following Mr Adams' remarks, Parliament reviewed the ICT Service Desk records relating to technical support logged for him during the relevant period.
The records do not reflect any reported incident of persistent laptop malfunction, hardware failure, repeated freezing of the device, or the laptop being repeatedly submitted to ICT for repairs.
The ICT incidents recorded during this period relate primarily to routine user-access and account-support matters. These include a Windows password reset in January 2025, an ERP/Marang password reset in June 2025, assistance with logging into a device in July 2025, a Wi-Fi update in January 2026, and an ERP/Marang eDisclosure-related request in June 2026. These matters were recorded through Parliament's ICT Service Desk and were closed.
Password resets, authentication or login difficulties and connectivity configuration are routine ICT support matters and are materially different from a device being technically dysfunctional or unavailable for an extended period.
Parliament therefore has no ICT Service Desk record supporting the assertion that Mr Adams' parliamentary laptop was persistently dysfunctional for approximately 18 months in the manner described before the Commission.
It is also important to clarify that Parliament's provision of tools of trade to Members is not limited to a single laptop. Members are provided with multiple ICT devices, including a laptop, tablet and smart phone, precisely to support continuity of access and enable Members to perform their parliamentary responsibilities.
Where a Member experiences a technical problem with an allocated device, established ICT support channels are available for the incident to be logged, diagnosed and resolved. Alternative Parliament-issued devices also provide continuity of access while a particular device is being attended to.
Parliament's clarification is confined to its own ICT and administrative records and should not be construed as commenting on the substance of Mr Adams' evidence before the Commission, which remains a matter for the Commission.
