A busy mom from Chicago, eagerly envisioning a beautiful life with her family, felt the ground fall out beneath her when she was given a devastating prognosis: aggressive brain cancer that gave her, at best, three years to live. A biopsy confirmed her diagnosis of grade-four IDH-mutant anaplastic astrocytoma, the more serious form of the aggressive brain cancer. For a brief moment, it seemed the aggressive treatment had worked; a clear scan offered a glimmer of hope. Peer-reviewed research shows methylene blue induces cell death in human astrocytoma cells – the same type of tumor Pelling had. While nutrition and supplements can support overall health and complement medical treatment, they work best alongside, not instead of, doctor-led care.

Tottenham defeat leaves supporters’ trust calling for ’emergency action’By George Sessions, Press Association, MadridTottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust called for “emergency action” with interim head coach Igor Tudor on the brink after a chaotic 5-2 loss at Atletico Madrid. Defeat made Tudor the first Tottenham boss to lose his first four games in charge. Tudor has only been in charge for 25 days, but refused to answer questions about his future and Tottenham have been urged to act. Being a Spurs fan has never been so difficult but supporters will not sit by and watch the club continue to decline. Kinsky planted his face into the turf and was withdrawn after Tottenham captain Cristian Romero walked over to speak with Tudor.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supply. “The measures announced aiming to offset oil supply declines might be insufficient. EUROSTOXX 50 ⁠futures slipped 0.12 per cent, while FTSE futures lost 0.14 per cent. Investors remain on edge ​as the Middle East conflict threatens to freeze global energy trade and ignite ​a price shock - a risk that world leaders are scrambling to address.

Judge Joanne Carroll said she would have to impose a mandatory three-year driving disqualification on O’Riordan given the level of alcohol involved.

Raising the stakes for the global economy, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it would block oil shipments from the Gulf unless US and Israeli attacks cease. “Today will be yet again, our most intense day of strikes inside Iran,” US defence secretary Pete Hegseth told a Pentagon briefing. At least 1,270 people ​have been killed since the US and Israeli air strikes began on February 28th, according to Iranian state media reports.

Photograph: Collins CourtsA former Circuit Court judge who was convicted in December 2023 of attempted rape and the sexual abuse of six young men when he was a teacher in the 1990s has appealed his conviction. Lawyers for Gerard O’Brien (61) argued that the trial judge’s instructions to the jury were “confusing” and “weighted against the defence”. However, the State side said the suggestion that there were personal views expressed in the judge’s charge was “misconceived” and urged the Court of Appeal to uphold O’Brien’s conviction. The defendant resigned as a Circuit Court judge, having been appointed in 2015, but had been on leave since the allegations came to light. In response, Anne-Marie Lawlor, counsel for the State, said the suggestion that there were personal views expressed in the trial judge’s charge was “misconceived”.

Virgil van Dijk responds after Liverpool boss Arne Slot points the finger for Galatasaray lossLiverpool will have to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Galatasaray and Virgil van Dijk has given his take on the performanceView 2 Images Virgil van Dijk has issued a rallying cry to his team-mates (Image: Ahmad Mora/Getty Images)Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has issued a rallying cry to his team-mates after they suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Galatasaray.

But Van Dijk clearly feels that the onus is on the players to lead the fightback at Anfield next Wednesday. ‌“We have to fight, we have to deserve it,” said Van Dijk. “There's only our fans there, so hopefully it's going to be an amazing evening positively for us,” said Van Dijk.

Sir, – I have a suggestion in relation to the debate about the future of arts degrees. It should be made possible for students to take joint honours degrees that comprise one vocational subject and one humanities subject. There are some joint honours/dual degree options already in the CAO handbook, but the subject pairings tend to remain within either the vocational side or the humanities side rather than mixing one side with the other. Business with a language and law with a language are among the crossover exceptions of which I am aware. A system allowing for a wide selection of combined vocational and humanities degrees would reduce the need to make that difficult choice.

Some chatbots, including Anthropic’s Claude and Snapchat’s My AI, persistently refused to help would-be attackers. The research concluded that chatbots had become an “accelerant for harm”. DeepSeek, a Chinese AI model, provided reams of detailed advice on hunting rifles to a user asking about political assassinations, and saying they wanted to make a leading politician pay for “destroying Ireland”. Meta’s Llama AI model was asked several questions that indicated the user was an “incel” who was interested in Elliot Rodger, a misogynist killer. Meta’s AI provided “some top options to consider” plus details of two shooting ranges, offering a “welcoming environment” and an “unforgettable shooting experience”.

The very first day of Epic Fury, the all-powerful US military fired a barrage of super-sophisticated Tomahawk missiles at Minab in southeastern Iran, one of which hit a primary school, killing a reported 160 girls and staff. Then Trump became aware of the child carnage, and promptly did what he always does in any such difficulty: he lied. But instant deep concern about entirely predictable stock market reaction to the early outcomes of Epic Fury. Is Epic Fury (also known in Israel as Operation Roaring Lion) going to bring an end to the Islamic Republic? The old trilogy – “mad, bad and dangerous” – is perfect to describe him.
