Scientists have identified five major phases of brain development across a human lifetime, with research suggesting that the brain does not fully enter its “adult” mode until around the early 30s. The findings come from a large study of brain scans from nearly 4,000 people ranging in age from under one year old to 90. Researchers found that brain development shifts at four key “turning points”, occurring at roughly ages nine, 32, 66 and 83, creating five distinct brain “epochs”. The first phase, childhood, runs from birth to about age nine and is marked by rapid growth but also “pruning”…

Idrissa Gueye was applauded by Everton’s players after apologising for being sent off for slapping teammate Michael Keane during Monday’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United. The unusual red card came after a heated exchange following Gueye’s misplaced pass that led to a chance for Bruno Fernandes. Unable to speak at half-time, Gueye later addressed the squad in the dressing room, apologising directly to Keane and the team for leaving them with 10 men. His words were met with a round of applause. Everton manager David Moyes admitted he “likes my players fighting each other” but the club is still expected…

The UN climate summit failed to deliver a clear plan to phase out fossil fuels, leaving the EU increasingly isolated. COP30 in Belém concluded with a final text that offered no roadmap, prompting critics to call it an empty deal and a moral failure. The United States withdrew from climate negotiations, creating a political and financial gap, while President Donald Trump dismissed climate change as a con job. Countries heavily dependent on fossil-fuel revenue, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, opposed any target or timeline for phasing out fossil fuels. One day before the summit ended, the EU threatened to…
