Runners report mixed experiences with GLP-1 drugs during marathon training
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 01:25
Runners using GLP-1 medications for weight loss report varied experiences during endurance training. Nausea and reduced appetite can make it difficult to fuel long runs. Keri, a marathoner in her 50s, became severely nauseous during a half marathon after taking her first 2.5-milligram dose of tirzepatide less than a week earlier. She stopped and restarted the medication during training because of harsh side effects, weight gain and appetite loss, and said she would not take another dose until after the 2026 Chicago Marathon. Sports dietitian Claire Shorenstein said she would typically advise against using a GLP-1 while training for a marathon, citing the risk of underfueling.
Other runners describe different outcomes. Steve, a 44-year-old from Oregon, halved his tirzepatide dose after four weeks and says he can now train without a heart-rate spike. Kylie Keeton eventually stopped taking a GLP-1 after losing about five pounds in six months; she said the expense was not worth continuing, and nausea had made it difficult to reach her running mileage. A specialist said splitting a weekly dose is not recommended because it was not how the drug was studied in clinical trials. Research on GLP-1 drugs and endurance running remains limited, and experts note possible side effects including nausea, constipation and increased resting heart rate. Sports dietitian Meghann Featherstun said runners she has worked with rarely stay on the drugs for long, often telling her they cannot tolerate them.

Elon Musk releases Grok AI ‘Odyssey’ episode criticized for lifeless visuals
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 01:03
Elon Musk has released the first seven-minute episode of his “Odyssey,” made with Grok AI, after saying he could create a better, more authentic version of the tale. The episode begins with Odysseus pretending to be mad to avoid fighting in the Trojan War. Palamedes and Agamemnon test him by putting his baby son, Telemachus, in the path of a plough. Odysseus saves the child and agrees to fight. The episode then shows him leaving Penelope and Telemachus behind before jumping ahead ten years to the siege of Troy.
The reviewer criticizes the episode’s AI visuals as slow and lifeless and describes the character voices as robotic and overly emphatic. In the reviewer’s assessment, the story’s dramatic moments lack motivation and feeling. The review acknowledges that later episodes may look better as AI improves, but argues that Musk’s version has little artistic merit. It describes the work as a pitiful fraction of the original’s quality, produced at a tiny fraction of its cost, and frames the project as an attempt to win an argument rather than tell the story with passion.

Britain’s Belgium gas deal offers winter backup, but not a long-term fix
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 01:26
Britain still imports almost 60 percent of its gas. A new arrangement with Belgium is intended to keep enough capacity available through a connecting pipeline this winter if a low-probability, high-impact supply emergency occurs. The scenario described involves a prolonged cold snap and a critical import facility, such as one of the two liquefied natural gas terminals in Milford Haven, being out of action. The deal will add 10 pence a month to household bills to pay Interconnector Limited, the pipeline’s Belgian owner, to maintain compressors that can send large volumes of gas to Britain quickly. Ofgem says the arrangement is the only currently available intervention addressing immediate supply security for winter 2026–27 while also offering benefits over the following four years.
The deal is described as affordable insurance, but it does not resolve longer-term concerns. Ofgem says further government-led measures are likely to be needed. A National Energy System Operator report warned of an emerging risk to gas supply security in 2030. The government issued an interim response in August, but gave no timetable for deciding what measures are needed; its final response is due next year. National Gas says this winter’s outlook is positive with the Belgian deal, while peak demand remains high because gas-fired power generation is needed when renewable output is low. Options raised include more gas storage, LNG terminals, or forward-buying LNG. The article argues that decisions are urgent because infrastructure takes time to build.

Audi CEO faces backlash in Germany after Trump rally appearance
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 01:35
Audi's chief executive, Gernot Döllner, is under fire in Germany after joining Donald Trump on stage at a rally in Georgia just days before the U.S. midterm elections. The pair announced that Audi plans to invest four billion dollars in its first U.S. factory and create 4,500 jobs. Daniela Cavallo, head of the Volkswagen works council, said internal communications showed Döllner had taken part in an event following a speech she characterized as racist, sexist, transphobic and dismissive of democracy. She said the investment and his appearance turned Volkswagen’s management into a “puppet” in a propaganda show. Social Democrat representative Isabel Cademartori called his actions a “disgrace,” also referring to Volkswagen’s history.
IG Metall chief Christiane Benner described Döllner’s appearance as politically unacceptable and accused him of breaching Audi’s code of conduct, which she said requires political neutrality before elections. She also warned that a major investment would need approval from Volkswagen’s supervisory board, where she is deputy chair. Volkswagen is in a dispute with its workforce over plans to cut as many as 100,000 jobs and close factories. The company has cited competition from Chinese automakers, U.S. tariffs and the costly transition to electric vehicles. Audi’s Neckarsulm facility, employing 15,000 people, is among four Volkswagen plants threatened with closure from early next decade. The planned Macon plant would produce 200,000 SUVs annually. Audi estimated that U.S. import tariffs of 15 percent cost it 1.2 billion euros last year.

Sea swimming helps a woman feel closer to her late mother
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 01:20
Following her mother’s sudden passing, a woman found comfort in sea swimming, which eased her anxiety and made her feel closer to her. In June 2024, eight months after the loss, a friend encouraged her to join a challenge in Croatia: swimming three kilometers each day for a week. At that time, she was experiencing sleepless nights and, at times, a tightness in her throat. Swimming appeared to be the only activity that offered relief. A year later, she took part in a trip in Greece, swimming four kilometers daily and marking her fiftieth birthday. By late September, she had finished another guided journey off the coast of Kaş in Turkey, completing twenty-five kilometers over five days.
The woman explains that the steady motion and view of marine creatures help calm her thoughts. She also attributes a friendly swimming group and forming new bonds to improving her sense of wellbeing. Her mother, who passed away at seventy-three, spent hours in the water during family holidays to Italy. She also dealt with depression and anxiety, and the writer thinks the ocean might have provided her similar comfort, although they never spoke about it. The writer remembers that her mother brought her to public pools as a child, and later relocated with her father to Bexhill-on-Sea. Upon returning to the UK, she makes a point of visiting Bexhill and mentions that walking by the sea or hearing it helps restore her sense of balance. She is already making plans for another swimming trip.

Oxfam says the rich profit from both pollution and climate disasters
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 01:19
Oxfam reports that the richest 0.1 percent of the global population, numbering 8 million people, benefit from industries and investments tied to pollution as well as disaster readiness, response, and reconstruction. The market for these services is projected to grow from 70 billion dollars a year to 92 billion dollars by 2029. Oxfam calls this a “double dividend” of the climate crisis and says it could encourage the wealthy to delay or disrupt efforts to address climate change. According to the report, this group is responsible for more carbon emissions than the 3.5 billion poorest people combined and has reportedly contributed 125 times more than the average person to extreme heat events.
Oxfam’s index identifies 217 firms that either contribute to climate change or offer products and services to help adapt to its effects. Last year, these businesses made an average of 1.8 billion U.S. dollars and paid 1 billion dollars in dividends to shareholders. According to Oxfam, BlackRock and Vanguard hold shares in 92 percent of the listed companies, worth more than 1 trillion dollars in total. The organization is calling for higher taxes on wealthy individuals, private jets, oil and gas companies, and polluting companies. It also urges the U.K. government to improve international climate funding commitments by prioritizing grants over loans.

Strive adds 6,182 bitcoin, bringing holdings to 43,000
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 01:16
Strive increased its bitcoin holdings by 6,182 between October 17 and October 23, bringing the total to 43,000 bitcoin, as stated in a report submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm ranks fourth among publicly traded companies in bitcoin ownership. Metaplanet holds 44,000 bitcoin, while Twenty One possesses 43,514. Strive’s chief executive, Matt Cole, has expressed his goal of positioning the company as the second-largest public holder of bitcoin by year-end. To surpass Metaplanet’s current amount, Strive would need to acquire roughly 105 bitcoin each week on average.
Strive established a program to sell as much as one billion dollars worth of its SATS preferred stock on the market. The firm said proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquiring additional bitcoin, working capital, and other investments. In a separate report, Strive said it held 504.4 million dollars in cash and cash equivalents by October 23, up from 317.5 million dollars a week earlier. On October 20, the company closed an offering of seven million SATS preferred shares, raising roughly 630 million dollars before expenses. The shares pay an annual dividend of 15 percent, and the company has set aside enough to cover the first 18 months of payments.

Serbia’s Student List wins projected majority and prepares for government talks
Monday, October 26, 2026 • Duration 01:07
Serbia’s Student List is preparing to start talks on forming a government after projected results showed it won the parliamentary election. With 100 percent of ballot samples counted, the Centre for Free Elections and Democracy in Belgrade projected the movement would receive 53 percent of the vote, or 141 seats in the 250-seat parliament. The Serbian Progressive Party, led by Aleksandar Vučić, was projected to receive 39 percent and 103 seats. The remaining seats went to national minority lists. The movement has no clear leader or governing experience, and it is unclear who it will appoint as prime minister and cabinet members.
The Student List’s platform focuses on fighting corruption and restoring the rule of law. It proposes creating an independent police unit accountable to prosecutors, banning appointments of party loyalists to state-owned companies, and giving new independent bodies oversight of major infrastructure contracts. The constitution requires the new parliament to convene within 30 days of the official election result, with a further 90 days to form a government. Serbia must also hold a presidential election before December 27, after Vučić stepped down to run for prime minister.

Monday, October 26, 2026 • Duration 00:33
Real Madrid beat Barcelona with a late Kylian Mbappé goal, ending Barcelona’s nine-game winning run. Mbappé scored twice, according to the report. His winner came with three minutes remaining, after Eduardo Camavinga carried the ball into the area and pulled it back for him to finish.
Barcelona had equalized on the hour. Lamine Yamal took a short corner to Pedri, who played a reverse pass into Raphinha, and the Brazilian struck low into the net. Barcelona pressed for a winner, but Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin made a series of saves, including one from a Martín header, before Madrid scored late.

Crimean official reports power and water restrictions after drone attack
Monday, October 26, 2026 • Duration 01:28
A Ukrainian drone attack caused electricity and water restrictions in Russian-occupied Crimea on Saturday, according to the Moscow-installed regional leader, Sergei Aksyonov. He did not say how many households were affected. Russian authorities also reported that a Ukrainian strike in the part of Kharkiv region held by Russia killed at least three people and gravely wounded another. Russia’s Defence Ministry said it shot down 616 drones overnight across more than 20 regions. In the Bryansk border region, at least three people were killed in drone strikes during the day, the acting governor said. Ukrainian authorities reported at least five deaths in Russian drone and missile strikes in eastern Ukraine, including three people killed in Synelnykove and a 31-year-old woman killed in Sumy.
Thousands of British and French troops took part in a seven-week military exercise in Germany, the UK government said Sunday. About 600 paratroopers jumped from four British RAF A400M Atlas aircraft during the exercise, called Rhino Titan. The training tested British troops’ ability to operate against an enemy using drones and electronic warfare. Separately, Ukraine’s government said its military had a stable connection to Starlink, ten days after access was suddenly restricted. Hours later, SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk accused the Ukrainian military of violating the company’s terms. Neither Musk nor the US government, which operates Starshield using Starlink technology, took responsibility for imposing the restrictions.
