People who drank two or more soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of pancreatic cancer than people who drank none, in a study that followed 60,524 adults in Singapore for 14 years. The group drinking at that level averaged about five soft drinks a week, while fruit juice showed no similar link. Researchers suggest that high sugar levels may raise insulin in the body, which could help pancreatic cancer cells grow, and say the findings are likely to apply in the United States as well. The study was observational, so it shows a link rather than proof of cause, and it rested on only 140 cases, with regular soda drinkers also more likely to smoke and eat more red meat.

Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has singled out Callum Turner as 'so strong' as the search for Daniel Craig's successor continues, saying he is eager to see who takes on the role.

Samsung has rolled out One UI 9 to the Galaxy S24 series, bringing several features from the newer Galaxy S26, including Call Brief, custom Now Brief cards, My FanCam and Now Nudge. But a number of the S26's most useful additions are missing from the S24 Ultra, including Notification Highlights, which uses AI to summarise and prioritise notifications, and Horizontal Lock, which keeps video level even as the phone rotates. USB webcam mode, a vertical layout for dual recording, a 24MP camera option and extra Pro Video frame rates are also absent, even though the S25 series received Horizontal Lock in the same update. Samsung has not explained the omissions, and it is unclear whether a future update will add them.

Rebecca Gayheart has spoken about actor Eric Dane's final week in hospital, saying she and their daughters did not realise that last trip would be his final one. She said the mood changed by his third day in hospital, and the family camped out in his room for sleepovers in his last days. Gayheart said the family never expected to lose him in February, and that she cannot give their daughters their father back. The interviews, given alongside the release of Dane's posthumous memoir, also aim to show fans the complicated person behind his famous 'McSteamy' character. Dane died on 19 February at 53, less than a year after announcing his ALS diagnosis.

Finland's Ice Hockey Association has said its national teams will not play against Russia in international tournaments for as long as the war in Ukraine continues. The stance follows a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling last week ordering the International Ice Hockey Federation to reinstate Russian teams, starting with the world juniors in late December in Canada. Finland said it is seeking support from other federations for a common front, and its spokesperson said it does not believe it stands alone. The federation has not pulled out of tournaments entirely; it is refusing matches against Russia, and the ice hockey body has not yet clarified what that refusal would mean under its rules.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has become the NFL's most dangerous deep passer since Week 4, throwing six touchdown passes and no interceptions on throws of at least 20 yards, according to ESPN Research.

Poland has launched a special security operation along its border with Russia's Kaliningrad exclave after intelligence warnings of possible sabotage in the coming days. Counterterrorism police are working with the military, border guards and intelligence services in the Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie regions, with a command centre set up at national police headquarters in Warsaw. Police chief Marek Boroń said the operation aims to protect residents and infrastructure, and denied any link to Poland's Constitutional Tribunal dispute. Prime Minister Donald Tusk later said forces prevented a suspected provocation on the night of 2-3 November after border guards spotted suspicious activity.

Sudan has complained to the United Nations and the African Union, accusing Ethiopia of letting RSF fighters launch drone attacks from its territory against civilian sites and power stations. Sudan says 70 attacks with 187 drones since February killed or wounded 484 civilians and knocked out more than 90 percent of power stations in government-held cities. Ethiopia denies aiding the RSF and accuses Sudan of backing its own rebels, while the rift also covers the Nile dam dispute.

With data centers hungry for electricity, companies are stripping engines from retired aircraft in desert boneyards and turning them into generators. US officials estimate engines from 4,000 old military jets in Arizona could theoretically produce 40,000 megawatts, though the older turbines pollute more than modern plants.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree requiring owners of private data centres in Russia to reserve 10% of their capacity to help keep the country's IT infrastructure running. A new government commission will be able to order the reserved capacity to be released within 24 hours, and the Digital Development Ministry will inventory available space. The move follows Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian data centres in October.

President Donald Trump has notified Congress and the governments of South Africa and Rwanda that the United States intends to end their duty-free access under the African Growth and Opportunity Act from 1 January 2027. The US Trade Representative said an annual review found both governments were acting inconsistently with the programme's eligibility rules, citing barriers to American trade and investment and concerns over national security and foreign policy. For South Africa, Washington also cited corruption; for Rwanda, it raised rule-of-law and political-pluralism concerns. South Africa, the programme's largest beneficiary, exported about $1.7 billion of goods to the US under AGOA in 2025, including cars and farm products. Pretoria said the notice gives 60 days' warning and that it remains open to dialogue.

Adam Robinson, a 45-year-old tech founder, was among nine people killed when a Learjet crashed near Greenacres and Palm Beach in Florida on Sunday.

Workers in Britain have become less engaged with their jobs over the past decade, and that shift may be helping to explain weak productivity growth since the pandemic, a Resolution Foundation report has found. The share of workers willing to go the extra mile for their employer fell from 69 percent in 2015 to 55 percent in 2025, while one in four workers said they were not even fairly satisfied with their role, the lowest level on record. The report said workers today are a little less committed to their employers than a decade ago and are more focused on pay and flexible hours, a change it linked to expectations reshaped since lockdown.

Shopify shares fell sharply in early trading after the e-commerce company reported third-quarter results that missed Wall Street expectations on revenue and gross profit, despite strong growth from a year earlier. Revenue rose 32 percent to $3.74 billion, below estimates of about $3.77 billion, while gross operating profit rose 28 percent to $1.781 billion, short of the $1.799 billion expected. The total value of goods sold through its platform, $119.2 billion, also missed estimates. Adjusted earnings of 49 cents a share did beat estimates, and operating income jumped 66 percent, but investors focused on the misses. For the December quarter, Shopify expects revenue growth in the low-30 percent range and gross profit growth in the high-20 percent range.

Anthropic has added a rule to Claude Code on its Opus 5.5 model that stops the tool from recreating a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or described as original, to enforce its ban on infringing intellectual property. Original games, games in an established genre, and games built from the user's own designs and assets are meant to keep working. Some developers report that legitimate projects have also been refused, and Anthropic says it will keep refining the rule.
