Gunners suffer penalty shootout heartbreak after 1-1 draw with PSG A “devastated” Declan Rice insisted Arsenal will not be defined by their Champions League defeat to Paris St Germain – and vowed to use the emotional agony as fuel to win the competition next season. Arsenal’s bid to end their 140-year wait for the biggest trophy in European club football ended in failure after a 4-3 penalty shootout defeat at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. […]

John Swinney has stepped up his calls for Holyrood to be given control over energy, insisting it is the only way to end the current “Westminster rip-off”. The Scottish First Minister said handing over energy powers would allow his Government to end the “hated” windfall tax on oil and gas – formally known as the energy profits levy. He also said it would allow for “sensible licensing decisions” to be taken on new energy projects, […]

Dartford warblers saw a record year in 2025 as the species continues to bounce back from the brink of extinction in the UK, the RSPB said. The small charismatic birds, which are currently on the “amber list” for conservation concern, suffered a population crash in the 1960s because of cold winters, which left only a few breeding pairs in Dorset. But more than 264 pairs were counted on RSPB nature reserves last year, marking a […]
Katie Boulter has called for the French Open to remove advertising boards at the back of courts after a doubles player tripped over one and was forced to retire. Turkey’s Zeynep Sonmez had played only two games of her second-round women’s doubles match on court six when, chasing a ball, she caught her foot on one of the foot-high Lacoste signs and fell into the back fence.
