England came away from Greece with a valuable 3-1 lead in their first 2027 Women's World Cup play-off tie - a result they will look to convert into an aggregate win this week. Georgia Stanway, Maya le Tissier and Alessia Russo were on the scoresheet in the away game. The second leg will be played at home, at King Power Stadium in Leicester, on Tuesday, 13 October at 19:30 BST. Commentary will be on BBC Radio 5 Live. Should England beat Greece over two games, they will face the winners of Slovakia v Ukraine, with the away fixture played first. The exact dates of the potential second-leg fixtures are to be confirmed, although they will take place between 26 November and 5 December 2026. England head coach Wiegman named her initial squad last month, with Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly notable absentees, although Toone later received a call-up after Lucy Bronze left the squad with a slight injury. When asked why the two stalwarts were initially left out, Wiegman said: "They have not been playing to their full potential. "Of course, I still believe in these players. They are really good and have shown so much for us.

I discovered a Roman fort in Wales – it may hold the key to the ancient Welsh legend of Macsen Wledig - The Conversation
My recent discovery of a Roman fort and its extraordinary connection with medieval folklore was the fruition of many hours of painstaking research. This all began in 2002 when I discovered or, more accurately, rediscovered a Roman villa some 30 kilometres to the southwest of Wales. The site was first identified in the early 19th century by Richard Fenton, a local antiquarian. For several reasons, his reliability has been questioned, but mostly because of the perception that the Romans did not reach west Wales was rife in the Regency period and persists to this day.
'War booty': Cheap iPhone 18s advertised in Tehran after Hormuz shipwreck, claims report - The Times of India
(Screengrab from footage shared on social media)Apple's iPhone 18 smartphones are being advertised in Tehran at unusually low prices as “war booty”, with sellers claiming the devices were recovered from a cargo ship that sank near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran International reported on Saturday. The advertisements surfaced after a container ship reportedly sank near the strategic waterway on October 13. Videos circulating on social media purportedly showed shipping containers floating in the sea, with iPhones and expensive perfumes scattered in the water as people aboard small boats collected the goods. According to a report by Ynet News, footage circulated by media outlets across the Arab world on Thursday evening showed people retrieving objects from the water. One boat appeared to be carrying boxes of iPhones, with one report claiming that the devices were Apple's latest iPhone 18 models. The identities of those seen collecting the goods remain unclear. There has been no official confirmation of the incident. Iran's cyber police have warned prospective buyers against paying deposits or advance fees before inspecting the products and verifying sellers' identities.
Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
