Photograph: Sean Gallup/Getty ImagesEven in its days as a colony, most Danes agree there was no bounty of resources from Greenland. When it comes to Greenland, Danish analyst Ulrik Pram Gad, senior researcher, Danish Institute for International Studies, his home land’s self-regard may, in hindsight, have been a blind spot in the growing stand-off with Washington.

The construction of Egypt’s Great Pyramid has long baffled archaeologists, with no surviving ancient texts explaining how its massive stone blocks were lifted and assembled so quickly. Such irregularities are difficult to explain if the pyramid was built neatly from the ground up using external ramps. Instead, the offsets suggest builders were working around mechanical constraints imposed by internal lifting systems. However, smaller corridors or remnants of internal ramps may still exist in the outer portions of the structure, particularly higher up. If supported by future discoveries, Scheuring’s proposal could reshape how archaeologists understand not only the Great Pyramid but also pyramid construction across ancient Egypt.

Katie Taylor said she is hugely frustrated by the gender pay gap which exists in boxing. The Bray woman said if she was a male fighter who had achieved all she has in her 20-year career, she’d be “an absolute multi, multi, multi-millionaire”. “The inequalities are also still there within the pay gap as well,” Taylor said at the launch of the Lidl Ladies National Football League at Croke Park on Tuesday. “In my world, the best paid female fighters - probably myself and Amanda Serrano - are still far away off from the best male fighters. “I think we are making great, great progress in that area, but it's very, very slow and it's very, very frustrating to think if I was a male, I'd be an absolute multi, multi, multi-millionaire now.

Rodri was first booked on 61 minutes when he brought down Hakon Evjen on the halfway line with a trip. The Spaniard left referee Sven Jablonski with no choice but to show him a second yellow card inside a minute, despite his protestations.
