Historic. 🇮🇳 India’s first privately developed orbital rocket, Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has successfully reached orbit after completing its final burn and injecting payloads into a 450 km orbit. India is the third country in the world to achieve private orbital launch capability.

#BREAKING: Vikram-1 is in space. What a historic development for India!

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: FIFA President Infantino to Donald Trump: "FIFA is the official happiness provider to humanity." 🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Donald Trump's response: "Yes, unless your team loses..." *laughs*

🚨💍 OFFICIAL: FIFA to award the winners of the World Cup with championship rings. It’s the first time in history, following some of the American sports. 30 rings will be made available to the world champions, with a further 1,996 rings going on sale to fans.

Firouzja's hot streak continued as he won in Round 1 of the Chennai Grand Masters, on a day when both Abdusattorov & Gukesh escaped tricky positions! chess.com/news/view/2026…

Mbappe and Kane in the 3rd place match realising they can let each other score hattricks and stop Messi from winning the golden boot

Gukesh on his 1st game in his home city after winning the World Championship: "I forgot about that... Not a great game, but playing in Chennai is very nice!"

Gukesh arrives for the super-tournament in his home city of Chennai!

In 2007, Lionel Messi held a baby for a photo shoot. That baby grew up to be Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal! 19 years later, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal are set to face off in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina!

It's over: no more London System
