The NFL Players Association has named retired offensive lineman JC Tretter as its next executive director just months after he resigned in scandal, saying he didn't 'have anything left to give the organization.' But on Tuesday in San Diego, player representatives from each team elected Tretter over interim executive director David White and American Conference commissioner Tim Pernetti. '[The] decision reflects the responsibility our Board of Player Representatives carries on behalf of every player,' read the NFLPA statement. 'We have utterly failed the union and its members today by voting in JC Tretter as executive director,' the player told The Athletic. Tretter now embarks on his tenure as the NFLPA's fifth executive director, following Howell, DeMaurice Smith (2009-2023), Oakland Raiders legend Gene Upshaw (1983-2008) and Ed Garvey (1971-1983).

No indication of when energy price hikes measures will be introducedBy Bairbre Holmes, Press AssociationThe Government “will act” on rising energy costs, the Minister for Justice has said, but could not indicate when that will happen. Jim O’Callaghan was speaking on behalf of the Government at Leader’s Questions in the Dáil on Wednesday. “So it’s blindingly obvious what you need to do, cut taxes on petrol, on diesel and home heating oil.

Once top-secret CIA files have detailed America's plans to control the world by manipulating the weather. One post on X claimed: 'The CIA has been poisoning the sky and controlling the weather since 1965!' Johnson's endorsement of the CIA's weather modification project came just three years after he gave an ominous speech on the future of America and the work to create 'weather satellites' with the power to strengthen storms. While giving the commencement address at Southwest Texas State University in May 1962, then-Vice President Johnson said: 'He who controls the weather will control the world.' The US government has maintained that weather modification has been used only to help weaken dangerous storms and induce rain in drought-stricken areas.

Spectacular footage has captured lava from a volcano on a French island making contact with the ocean for the first time in years. Since the Piton de la Fournaise volcano erupted last month on Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean, molten rock has been slowly creeping towards the shore. The scalding lava vaporises the water into steam, casting mystical shrouds back over the island, while the rock solidifies and grows the size of the island. Mesmerised crowds have gathered to watch the natural phenomenon, which the island has not seen for almost 19 years. They are using drones and thermometers - applied directly to the lava - to track its flow and measure its temperature.
