“I just didn’t want you to think that I was turning a blind eye or that I didn’t care,” the singer-songwriter says in a rare update. “I fucking care”

Fiona Apple is largely out of the public eye these days, but the singer-songwriter gave a rare update in a new video, expressing her thoughts on the state of the world.

“It’s the middle of the night and I was just writing and I couldn’t sleep,” Apple says in the video. “And I just all the sudden got overtaken with this urge to reach out. You haven’t seen me in a while, because this kind of thing, I’m just really, really uncomfortable with it nowadays.”

Fellow Brit Peter Chapman was with his wife Shelagh at their holiday home in Mojacar, a short drive from Los Gallardos, on Thursday.

When he first noticed the sky darkening, Chapman thought a storm was coming. "Then there was that smell of smoke in the air," he told the BBC.

"You could see a glow in the sky in the distance. The only way I can describe it is by thinking of how my mother used to describe the London bombings during the Second World War. It was surreal."

Move over Happy Gilmore, there’s another rogue golfer in town.

In new Netflix series The Hawk, Will Ferrell is starring as Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, a washed-up golf legend who is trying to make the sport’s greatest comeback by chasing one final major. And in typical Ferrell fashion, that’s accompanied by plenty of chaos along the way, much like his friend Adam Sandler‘s Happy Gilmore character.

At the show’s Los Angeles premiere on Thursday, Ferrell weighed in on how The Hawk and Happy would stack up against each other on the course, telling The Hollywood Reporter “they come from two different approaches. I think Lonnie’s a fan of Happy, they’d have a great time, but Lonnie would get inside of his head.”

Morocco were eliminated from the 2026 World Cup by a 2-0 defeat by France in the quarterfinals, but host next edition.

Morocco proved unable to emulate their semifinal heroics of the last World Cup, again running into a French roadblock as they lost in the last eight on Thursday, but as cohosts of ⁠the next tournament will begin to reset their sights on the trophy.

A team led by chemist Frank Glorius, a professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the University of Münster, has developed a new light-driven reaction sequence. In this triple catalysis, one reaction step triggers the next like three dominoes in a row, toppling one after the other. The molecular transformations occur sequentially in a single reaction vessel. Such one-pot synthesis is considered an ideal process because it is particularly resource- and energy-efficient.
