Enzo Maresca blasted Liam Delap for his “very stupid” red card after Chelsea’s chaotic 4-3 Carabao Cup win over Wolves, warning his young side they must “grow up.” Chelsea looked in full control after first-half goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, Estêvão and Jamie Gittens put them 3-0 up, but Wolves roared back with a spirited second-half display. David Møller Wolfe’s brace and a goal from Tolu Arokodare made it tense before Gittens sealed the win. Delap, returning from injury, was sent off late after picking up two yellow cards in just seven minutes, leaving Maresca furious. “It’s embarrassing,” he…
Strong iPhone demand lifted Apple’s revenue in the three months ending in September, closing the fiscal year with record profits. The company exceeded most financial expectations despite trade tensions and competition in artificial intelligence. Apple attributed its strong performance to high initial demand for the iPhone 17 line-up, launched last month. “Apple proudly reports a September quarter record of $102.5 billion, with all-time highs in iPhone and Services revenue,” said CEO Tim Cook. Fueled by iPhone success, Apple earned $27.5 billion (€23.8bn), almost twice last year’s profit. Shares jumped 2% in after-hours trading following the announcement. Although the iPhone 17…
US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met for the first time in six years, signaling cautious hope that the world’s two largest economies might ease long-standing tensions.

A brief truce in May failed to resolve deeper disputes. Although no formal trade deal emerged, both leaders hinted at progress. Negotiators have spent months working to settle long-standing conflicts over trade and technology.…
A rare spider species thought to be extinct in the UK has been rediscovered on the Isle of Wight after more than four decades. The Aulonia albimana, newly dubbed the “white-knuckled wolf spider” for its pale leg joints, was found at the National Trust’s Newtown nature reserve by entomologists Mark Telfer and Graeme Lyons. The tiny spider, last recorded in 1985, was spotted in the final minutes of a four-hour search on a remote site accessible only by boat. The discovery was made in an area restored by Hebridean sheep grazing, which helped create the short, sunlit turf the spider…

Policy Pause Follows Earlier Easing CycleThe European Central Bank is expected to keep interest rates steady at its forthcoming policy meeting, maintaining a cautious approach after cutting borrowing costs earlier in the year. Senior officials have described current monetary settings as being “in a good place,” suggesting that the balance between supporting growth and containing inflation is broadly appropriate. With inflation edging closer to target, policymakers appear ready to let earlier rate reductions continue working through the economy before taking further action. Trade Weakness Undermines MomentumThe eurozone’s export sector continues to struggle, as slowing global demand and persistent trade tensions…
