Simple science-backed technique that can squash alcohol cravings...
Researchers from Monash University, Australia, have found that a simple one-minute breathing technique can reduce alcohol cravings. The researchers analyzed data from 20 studies to determine how breathing influenced cravings for alcohol and other substances. Six breathing techniques, including breathing only six times in one minute and pacing to match heart rate, were included in the research. The techniques significantly reduced cravings among participants. While breathing helped to reduce cravings, there is less consistent evidence that it also helps to ease dependency and withdrawal. The study builds on previous research involving 40 obese adults from India, which found those who timed their breathing with their heart rate reduced food cravings compared to those who did not.

Bolivian prosecutors issue arrest warrant against ex-leader Morales over protests
Bolivian prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for former president Evo Morales, accusing him of instigating recent protests that paralyzed the country. The protests, which started with workers and Indigenous communities expressing grievances over Bolivia's worst economic crisis in decades, escalated to demand the resignation of US-backed President Roberto Paz. The warrant is related to an investigation into roadblocks erected during the protests, and was filed by a right-wing conglomerate of civic leaders and businesses supported by a section of the government. Morales, Bolivia's first-ever Indigenous leader, is hiding in his stronghold of Chapare to avoid separate charges of trafficking a minor.

World Cup Sell Off: Has FIFA Finally Gone Too Far?
FIFA has announced plans to create a subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), which would allow it to sell a minority stake in the World Cup's operations to private investors for billions of dollars. The proposed investors include Joshua Kushner, brother of US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, and Greg Maffei, a former Liberty CEO. Concerns have been raised about transparency, corruption, and FIFA's ability to unilaterally sell the World Cups. The World Cup is one of the few truly global sporting events that comes with a responsibility beyond maximizing revenue. The move is seen as a significant shift in how the World Championships is financed and managed commercially. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has also expressed disappointment at not having been consulted on the proposal.

Personality rights cases pull social media platforms into courts
Celebrity and public figures are increasingly asking courts to restrain anonymous infringers and to direct online intermediaries to remove disputed content. This has led to a trend of courts directing platforms to disclose subscriber details and IP logs of alleged infringers. The Bombay High Court recently allowed Union minister Nitin Gadkari to implead Meta and Google in his defamation and personality rights suit over alleged artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content falsely linking him and his family to the Centre's E20 fuel policy. The absence of a dedicated personality rights law has made these decisions increasingly difficult, requiring platforms to distinguish allegedly infringing content from lawful news reporting, criticism and parody. Technology lawyer Apar Gupta, founder director of the Internet Freedom Foundation, said that under-removal may expose platforms to contempt or loss of safe harbour, while excessive removal generally carries no immediate consequences. Google-owned YouTube said it reviews every court order and government request individually before taking action in accordance with applicable laws and its policies.

Iran launches renewed missile attacks as US and Saudis strike Tehran-backed militias in Iraq
Iran has launched a barrage of missiles at American forces in the Middle East, prompting the U.S. and Saudi Arabia to strike Tehran-backed militias in Iraq. The strikes reportedly killed at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisers. Drone strikes also ignited fires on two natural gas vessels at the Egyptian port of Damietta. The flare-up raises the possibility of a return to all-out war, which has negatively impacted the world economy and is unpopular among Americans. Egypt, a close U.K. ally and regional mediator, is one of the only countries left out of direct military action during the conflict. The renewed hostilities sent oil prices to a high of $88.093 a barrel.

[Closer Look] Black hole in Marcos SONA highlights selective justice
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA) exposed a massive flood-control scandal, costing more than 20 percent of the P545-billion budget for flood control projects. Since then, President Ferdinand Marcos has assumed the mantle of Mr. Clean, claiming that he is not dirty due to his whistle-blowing. The Ombudsman has begun its preliminary investigation into allegations that former House speaker Martin Romualdez raked in P56 billion in ill-gotten wealth from flood-controlled scams. Critics believe Romualdesz is just a pretend sacrificial lamb for public outrage over selective justice. In Rappler's Best newsletter, executive editor Glenda Gloria lists every close aide and friend of the President who received rewards after being linked to the scandal.
