Carlo Ancelotti stressed that Vinicius Jr will only be selected for Brazil’s World Cup squad if he is completely match-ready. The Brazil coach repeated the same standard he set for Neymar earlier in the year, saying every player must be at full capacity to earn a place.
Speaking on Esporte Record, he explained that the team’s depth in attack means anyone below peak condition risks missing out.

A new Australian law set to begin on December 10 will bar anyone under eighteen from using platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat. Officials say the measure is meant to shield young people from harmful material and potential predators.
Critics, including Jones, say the plan could have the opposite effect. Speaking from Sydney, he warned that shutting teenagers out may leave them isolated and more likely to take unsafe risks.

Nigeria’s defence minister, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, stepped down, with the presidency saying he resigned for health-related reasons. His departure comes during a sharp rise in mass abductions across northern regions, a situation that recently prompted President Bola Tinubu to declare a security emergency.
Abubakar had not appeared in public for several weeks, while UN figures from late November reported more than 400 people abducted since the middle of the month.

Governor Alex Otti of Abia State travelled to Sokoto to meet Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed IPOB movement. The governor was joined by Kanu’s brother and senior Abia State officials, with Sokoto State representatives also present, adding political weight to the encounter.

Otti told Kanu to remain strong, stressing that his behind-the-scenes engagements—ongoing for more than two years—have intensified. Could this visit signal a shift in the long-running case? And might it influence the political climate in the South-East as stakeholders await the next steps?

Nigeria recorded a 3.98% real GDP growth rate in Q3 2025, surpassing the 3.86% posted in the same period of 2024, the NBS said in its latest update. With nominal GDP rising to N113.58 trillion and agriculture showing a notable boost to 3.79%, the report suggests improving sectoral performance despite lingering structural challenges.

The stronger numbers now spark speculation about what lies ahead. Could this signal the start of a more resilient economic cycle? And if agriculture continues to firm up, might it reshape Nigeria’s broader growth dynamics heading into 2026?

A magnum of Champagne produced for the 1981 royal wedding of Charles and Diana is heading to auction in Denmark, one of just 12 bottles ever created to mark the globally watched event. Wine specialist Thomas Rosendahl Andersen says the 1961 Dom Pérignon has passed all inspections and remains in drinkable condition—an added lure for bidders hoping to secure a piece of royal history.

Estimated at up to 600,000 Danish kroner, the bottle’s projected rise contrasts sharply with past sales, including a failed auction in 2004. Does this dramatic jump signal a resurgence in collectors’ appetite for royal memorabilia? And if the bidding climbs higher, could it redefine the market for rare luxury goods tied to Britain’s monarchy?

Medical staff estimate a minimum recovery period of two months if no surgery is required. However, should she undergo an operation, the playmaker could be out for more than three months, putting her availability for key fixtures in serious doubt.

Nicola Pietrangeli, the player long regarded as Italy’s greatest until Jannik Sinner’s ascent, has died at 92, the national tennis federation confirmed Monday. His record—44 singles titles and two French Open triumphs—cemented him as a foundational figure in Italy’s tennis identity, a status amplified by his unique path from Tunis to the Hall of Fame.

With his death, Italy is left to confront a symbolic shift in its sporting era. Does Pietrangeli’s departure accelerate the torch-passing to Sinner’s generation? And how might this moment reshape Italy’s ambitions on the world stage as its new stars navigate the weight of history?
