The NFL of week 4 is not the NFL of week 1. With dozens of stars already placed on the injured reserve, news flash — the honeymoon phase has ended. As players work to settle into their new roles and face their team’s new realities, we will see who's going to shine and who's going to fall apart when the lights get bright. Washington Commanders Quarterback Marcus MariotaMariota put on a show for the ages this past week against one of — if not the — best team in football and the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks. Mariota threw for three touchdowns in his first start in place of the injured Jayden Daniels. Entering this week against a much weaker defence in the Indianapolis Colts, I’d be willing to take a risk and put my bet on the backup that just torched the defending champs. Plus, Mariota is rostered in only 3.3 per cent of ESPN fantasy leagues. Carolina Panthers Receiver Tetairoa McMillanThe wide receiver 1 spot has been a battle in Carolina to start the season, but it looks like we have found the superior panther. Tet faces a weak Lions secondary, who ranks last in yards allowed per game with opposing teams averaging 299.3 yards per game.
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney announced in Vancouver on Tuesday that LNG Canada is moving forward with the Phase 2 expansion project in Kitimat, B. C. “Today’s $33 billion investment in LNG Canada 2 will make LNG Canada the second-largest facility of its kind in the world. It will create thousands of new jobs,” Carney said. “It will connect low-cost, low-carbon Canadian energy to global markets, providing the secure supply our partners in Asia and Europe need.”The expansion comes as global energy markets have been in turmoil amid the war in the Middle East and the closures of the Strait of Hormuz over recent months, sending prices soaring. Carney added that this is a “great” day for Canada. “The scale of this investment shows it,” he said. Story continues below advertisement
Restrictions on children’s access to site like YouTube and TikTok will begin in March 2027 The government has announced that the UK ban on under-16s using social media platforms will start in March 2027. Tech companies will be required to implement tougher age checks as part the process. While the government seeks to protect children from harm, the move has science communicators who post educational videos on platforms like YouTube and TikTok worried, as they fear it will restrict young people’s access to science.
The spectacle of young migrants swimming en masse from Moroccan waters to the Spanish exclave of Ceuta exposed the frustration felt by a generation. One-third of the population of Morocco is aged between 15 and 30, and more than one third of that cohort is unemployed. A dearth of opportunity at home incentivises young men in particular to take huge risks to reach the European Union. More than 100 people died in that attempted exodus, most of them by drowning. Worryingly, an adequate domestic response to a huge generational challenge is a long way off, if Morocco’s latest parliamentary election serves as any guide. In the wake of the Arab spring, democratising reforms were introduced to Morocco’s monarchical system. But a decade and a half after that supposedly transformative moment, last week’s poll laid bare an alarming collapse of trust in politics among the young. Overall turnout among those who had registered to vote was a miserable 38% – the lowest for two decades. But among those under 35, the election was in effect ignored, with only 19% bothering to register.
Sept. 29, 2026 5:52 PM PT Perez Hilton’s website has offered an update on the celebrity gossip blogger’s progress following his apparent August suicide attempt, revealing that he has been allowed to see his children and mother. “They were first able to spend time together through a few video calls, and since then, Hilton has also been able to see his children and his mom a few times for short, supervised visits at the facility,” according to the site. “Seeing his children in person has meant an enormous amount to Perez. There have definitely been a lot of emotions for everyone, but being able to spend that time together has been incredibly meaningful and healing.”Hilton, born Mario Lavandeira Jr., experienced a mental health crisis on the night of Aug. 4 in his Miami home and livestreamed himself engaging in self-harm with a box cutter and knife as followers pleaded with him to stop and attempted to contact him. Hilton spent weeks in the hospital receiving treatment for his physical injuries before being transferred to a residential treatment program, where he could “focus fully on his mental health and recovery,” according to a family statement from earlier this month.

As rapid advances in biotechnology, genomics, synthetic biology, artificial intelligence and related life sciences continue to reshape global health and innovation, countries face a growing need to manage emerging risks without slowing scientific progress. Tools and knowledge developed for beneficial purposes can also pose risks if misused accidentally, inadvertently or deliberately. The World Health Organization (WHO) is responding by supporting Member States with practical, evidence-informed, adaptive, agile and forward-looking approaches that strengthen safety, security and responsible oversight while enabling innovation. Through a combination of global guidance, foresight, capacity-building and implementation support, WHO is supporting countries to anticipate emerging challenges and develop governance systems that remain effective in a rapidly evolving scientific landscape. These efforts help countries navigate a rapidly changing scientific landscape by ensuring that advances in the life sciences can be harnessed safely, securely and responsibly.

Health disparities affect Indigenous people across Canada. As the country marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation this week, a need exists to reiterate that First Nations, Inuit and Métis people must be partners in health research decisions that affect their lives.

Project will enable more Canadian natural gas to meet growing global LNG demandCALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TC Energy Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) today announced Coastal GasLink (CGL) Phase 2 will proceed following LNG Canada and its joint venture participants’ positive Final Investment Decision (FID) on the expansion of the LNG Canada facility, satisfying the conditions associated with TC Energy’s previously approved conditional FID for the project. Today, the CGL pipeline safely transports approximately 2.1 Bcf/d of natural gas. CGL Phase 2 will nearly double the existing capacity by adding new compressor stations and upgrading facilities along the existing 670-kilometre route from Dawson Creek to the LNG Canada liquefaction facility in Kitimat, northern British Columbia. “Coastal GasLink pipeline was a nation-building project that established Canada’s first direct path for natural gas to reach global LNG markets and Phase 2 is building on that legacy.
As a wave of injuries sidelines key stars, Mike Babcock challenges his roster to step up and claim permanent roles before the puck drops on opening night. The Edmonton Oilers started camp with one known injury: Frederik Andersen. Early on they lost Matt Savoie because of an off-ice issue. Not long after, Jason Dickinson was hurt in practice. Then, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins suffered an ankle injury on Tuesday. Needless to say, it's not been a run of good look for the Oilers as the regular season kicks off on Tuesday night. That said, head coach Mike Babcock isn't looking at these injuries as a tough pill to swallow. While it is, he more sees this as an opportunity for others. When asked if the injuries hampered his gameplan, Babcock said, "You can look at it that way or say it's an opportunity for other people. " He added, "I'm just going to watch and they're going to decide. We might find a penalty killer, we might find a power play guy. That's what happens when these things go on. You think you don't have somebody and then suddenly you got somebody that you didn't even know you had. " He said, "Here we are, we're preparing for the game tonight. We're going to play hard.
