‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3, Episode 5 Recap: Under Pressure


I was genuinely surprised Aegon didn’t stab Larys to death with that dragon’s scale he’s been hanging on to. Perhaps he realized his unlikely, unhappy rescuer was right.

Things turn around somewhat for Aegon back in camp. There, he and Larys discover that Tyland Lannister survived the Battle of the Gullet after being tossed overboard by Sharako Lohar. Now the lord of Casterly Rock and one of the few people who know where the crown’s money is hidden, he can fund their escape to Essos. True, Janos, the soldier who runs the camp, discovers Aegon’s crown, but his glee over the discovery is short-lived: Aegon murders him as Larys watches, with an unmistakable “There he goes again” look on his face.

Aegon’s younger brother Aemond, meanwhile, is the realm’s most wanted man. (Including by Aegon, who vows to kill him.) The witch Alys Rivers fends off some bounty hunters, but when others attempt to sexually assault her, Aemond springs into action, suddenly well enough to wield a sword and kill all the attackers single-handedly. Though he has no idea who, or what, Alys really is, he knows she has treated him with a kindness and attention Alicent never showed him. When she cradles his head against her chest to comfort him after a nightmare, he even calls her “Mother.” Considering what we’ve watched Aemond do with his real mother this season, that’s an … interesting word choice.

Daeron, the youngest of Alicent’s three sons, is at the mercy of an even more dubious parental figure. Alicent’s cousin Lord Ormund is so mercurial that it constitutes a kind of emotional abuse. He blows up when Daeron beats him at the chess-like board game Cyvasse … then chides the anxious boy for apologizing for victory.

Meanwhile, coins with Daeron’s face are being used by Ormund to pay for a violent insurgency in King’s Landing, as unseen assassins maim and murder members of the city watch in broad daylight. This lends ammo to Daemon in his feud with Mysaria over whether their meager money should be spent on the gold cloaks or the small folk.

Eventually the killings become too numerous to ignore. Rhaenyra taunts Daemon for what she perceives to be his cowardice in prioritizing the city watch over the hunt for Aemond, which he has left to his daughter Baela and her uncle Alyn of Hull. (The two appear to be forming a love connection, in the grand incestuous Valyrian style.) But Rhaenyra finally agrees that she should have paid their security force more attention (and money). This further marginalizes Mysaria on a small council now stacked with nobles who look down on her as a commoner and former prostitute. (Perhaps she keeps Alicent’s secret because she may need a backup plan if she falls out of the Black council’s favor completely.)

World Cup 2026: Spain’s Lamine Yamal ‘completes football’ with victory over Argentina


Spain and Lamine Yamal have grown through the tournament to leave him with the world at his feet and football’s two greatest prizes in his pocket.

As well as having glorious natural gifts, he is also Spain’s lucky charm. They completed their domination of the international stage with Ferran Torres’ decisive 106th-minute strike in extra time.

Lamine Yamal has yet to lose for his country in the 28 competitive matches he has played. He has started 13 games at major tournaments and won all of them – the longest 100% win rate of any European player across major tournaments when starting.

He also became – along with 19-year-old Spain team-mate Pau Cubarsi – just the fourth and fifth teenagers to start a World Cup final and win, after Pele for Brazil in 1958, Italy defender Giuseppe Bergomi in 1982 and Kylian Mbappe with France in 2018.

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente spoke afterwards of his “sincere gratitude” to Lamine Yamal.

“He has played great football that will help him to mature and be even a greater footballer than he already is,” he said.

“He really sacrificed for the collective good. This is very important in my squad. In my opinion he played a great World Cup.”

And this is not simply a special talent, it is a special talent with a special temperament.

He shrugged off Argentina’s obvious attempts to intimidate him as he regularly came into close contact with Nicolas Tagliafico in particular.

Former England goalkeeper and BBC Sport pundit Joe Hart summed it up well.

“Not only did Lamine Yamal not react,” he said. “He stood up to it. He was not rattled and he did not back down. He had the entire team trying to smash him.

“He just stayed real cool. It was real standout performance from him.

“Lamine Yamal is 19 years old. What a beautiful day for him. He’s 19 and has completed football.”

With virtually his whole career in front of him, and taking in the experience and influence of Spain team-mates such as his captain and player of the tournament Rodri, there is every chance Lamine Yamal will add more successes like this before he is done.

Former Blue Jays reliever Duane Ward dead at 62 while in Toronto for World Series tribute


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Former MLB reliever Duane Ward, known for helping the Toronto Blue Jays win World Series in the 1990s, has died. He was 62 years old.

The Blue Jays announced Ward’s death on Sunday, saying he died of natural causes while in Toronto.

Ward was in Toronto for the unveiling of a statue outside the Blue Jays’ home Rogers Centre to commemorate the back-to-back World Series championship from 1992 and 1993, which he was a part of.

The unveiling was set for Saturday, where over two dozen players, coaches and executives were on hand to see it for the first time.

“Duane will be deeply missed by our fans, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family,” the Blue Jays said in a statement. “Duane will always be a cherished part of the Blue Jays family, and we will be forever grateful for his contributions to our organization and to baseball in Canada.”

The Blue Jays also had a tribute for Ward before Sunday’s first pitch against the Chicago White Sox, holding a moment of silence for him after a montage played on the videoboard in center field.

Ward was the top draft choice of the Atlanta Braves out of Farmington High School in New Mexico during the 1982 MLB Draft, but while he made his major league debut with the club, he didn’t last there long.

Ward was traded to the Blue Jays midway through the 1986 season, and he truly found a home north of the border.

He spent parts of nine years with the ballclub, turning into a key reliever that could be relied upon as the Blue Jays proved they had what it took to reach, and win, the World Series in the early 1990s.

Ward’s best season came during the 1993 World Series run, leading the league with 70 games finished and 45 saves, while owning a 2.13 ERA across 71.2 innings (71 games).

Ward also had a dominant 1.95 ERA during the 1992 season, earning himself 12 saves, and 103 strikeouts across 101.1 innings pitched.

In the postseason, Ward was just as exceptional, owning a 1.13 ERA and two saves during his World Series appearances. And though Game 6 of the 1993 World Series will forever be remembered for Joe Carter’s walk-off home run against the Philadelphia Phillies, it was Ward who earned the victory as the pitcher that shut the door to allow that to happen.

“Whether setting the stage in the eighth inning or closing out wins, he will be remembered for the role he played in some of the greatest moments in Blue Jays history,” the team’s statement continued.

After an arm injury forced Ward to miss the entire 1994 season, he pitched in just four games in 1995 before he last saw a big league mound.

In 462 games, Ward earned a career 3.28 ERA with 679 strikeouts over 666.2 innings pitched.

Norway opens new memorial for victims of 2011 Breivik massacre

Norway opens new memorial for victims of 2011 Breivik massacre


Norway has opened a new memorial for the 77 victims of the country’s deadliest terror attack in peacetime, days before its 15th anniversary.

On 22 July 2011, neo-Nazi Anders Breivik killed eight people with a car bomb in Oslo and shot dead another 69 – mostly teenagers – at a youth camp on Utoeya island. Hundreds more were injured in Norway’s worst atrocity in recent history.

On Sunday, survivors and relatives of the victims gathered in Oslo for the unveiling of a large artwork showing a bird native to Utoeya island.

The artist said the work was two-fold – to remember the victims and to engage the public in an act of democratic resilience against far-right ideologies that inspired the attack.

The contemporary artwork features a huge blue steel frame supporting a 12-metre (39ft) high stone mosaic that depicts a small wading bird, as well as straw and sticks reflected in the water.

Called Upholding, the memorial is located in Oslo’s renovated government district, close to the location of the bomb blast that started the 2011 attack.

The artist Matias Faldbakken said he had seen the bird on Utoeya island. Many of those killed on the island were teenagers involved with the Norwegian Labour Party’s youth wing, the AUF.

The names of all 77 victims are engraved on the memorial.

“July 22, 2011 was a brutal attack not only on individuals, but also on our democracy,” said Merete Stamneshagen, head of a support group for victims and survivors, quoted by the AFP news agency.

Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon and government officials also attended the inauguration ceremony in Oslo on Sunday.

Haakon also visited the new 22 July Centre – Norway’s national memorial and education centre dedicated to the attacks.

In 2012, Breivik was sentenced to 21 years in jail, the maximum a court in Norway can impose, though it can be extended for as long as he is deemed a threat.

Over the years, Breivik has challenged the terms of his sentence.

In 2016, he partially won his human rights case against Norway before it was overturned the following year.

In 2022, he failed in his bid for parole, with the court ruling he had not changed and remained a risk to society. In 2024, he unsuccessfully sued the government over claims of isolation, as he is kept separately from other prisoners for security reasons.

Tears in Argentina for Lionel Messi’s ‘Last Tango’

Tears in Argentina for Lionel Messi’s ‘Last Tango’


The spell that had carried Argentina to the World Cup final, through immense suffering and unexpected triumphs, was broken. In Buenos Aires, fans moved toward the obelisk — the traditional center for victory celebrations — bearing flags through a cold, rainy night in what felt like a funeral procession for the dream of defending their country’s 2022 title.

“I cried so much, I fainted, I fell like the last soldier in Troy,” said Martí Pereira, a 24-year-old student, as he walked near the obelisk with a friend, both draped in the Argentine flag like a cape. “It’s a blow.”

In the city center, Argentines still lit the fireworks and colored smoke bombs they had bought for the game and blared their plastic horns in what now sounded like somber laments. The crowd was disappointed, defeated — more for their star, Lionel Messi, than for themselves.

“It was the last tango of the best in the world, but it didn’t turn out the way we wanted,” said Mafalda Moreno, 36, as she stood at the back of a bar, sobbing.

Thousands of the fans in Buenos Aires had Messi’s number — 10 — on their T-shirts. Some had his face tattooed on biceps, and all had his name on the tip of their tongues. In Rosario, the city where Messi was born, a gigantic jersey bearing his name was hoisted on Saturday. Now the Argentines’ overwhelming, absolute love for Messi had begun to turn to nostalgia.

This was widely viewed as Messi’s last World Cup, and while the star has not officially confirmed that he will leave, he has left hints. On Saturday, he published a photo of himself in his special-edition Adidas sneakers called “The Last Tango.”

“I would have loved the fourth star for Messi,” said Jennifer Guaráz, 27, referring to a potential fourth World Cup for Argentina, as she drank Fernet and Coca-Cola, Argentina’s national drink, in front of the obelisk. “He deserved it.”

Still, the defeat did not fully kill the Argentine party.

By the time Argentina reached the final, the team had already accomplished much of what it had wanted from a World Cup: weeks of collective obsession, suffering and release. And a victory against England.

“At least we got to the final — the English did not even get here,” Ms. Guaráz said.

Franco Cruz, 24, a student, agreed.

“I think the game with England was much more important,” he said. “That is what matters.”

Now, Argentina prepared to welcome the return home of their team, affectionately nicknamed La Scaloneta after its coach, Lionel Scaloni. Despite the defeat, Argentines were unyielding in their devotion.

Their affection was unbroken, said a fan, Cristian Maidana, 42, adding: “I’ll love them until death.”

ISIS poised to exploit historic US Iraq exit, terror group ‘actively waiting in the gaps,’ expert warns

ISIS poised to exploit historic US Iraq exit, terror group ‘actively waiting in the gaps,’ expert warns


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The Islamic State is quietly rebuilding as the United States prepares to complete its withdrawal from Iraq, raising fears the terror group could exploit a security vacuum, a regional security expert warned Sunday.

With U.S. forces leaving by Sept. 30 and as Baghdad tries to rein in Iran-backed militias, Iraq could also be entering its most dangerous period since ISIS seized Mosul in 2014, according to counterterrorism expert Dr. Omar Mohammed.

“ISIS is waiting actively in the gaps, as it historically always has,” Mohammed, author and researcher with the George Washington University Program on Extremism, told Fox News Digital.

“The question is not whether American forces leave Iraq in September; that timetable is set. The question is what leaves with them.”

“The militias claim the ISIS threat in order to keep their weapons, while ISIS recruits from the grievances that the militias create,” Mohammed explained.

“That is exactly the dynamic that hollowed out Mosul before 2014, when the city was caught between a sectarian security apparatus and the insurgency it fed.”

After preparing for years, ISIS captured Mosul, about 250 miles north of Baghdad, over a decade ago. Iraqi security forces collapsed and fled the city.

The group built underground networks through assassinations, extortion, intimidation and infiltration before launching its offensive. ISIS seized U.S.-made weapons and hundreds of millions of dollars before leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared the group’s self-proclaimed caliphate.

At the time, Mohammed launched “Mosul Eye,” a blog that secretly documented life under ISIS rule, exposing its operations and offering intelligence to U.S. forces.

Mohammed’s story is chronicled in Mosul Eye: A Scholar’s Clandestine War Against ISIS, out July 21 from Skyhorse Publishing, with a foreword by Pope Francis and an introduction by retired Gen. David Petraeus.

Iraqi forces, backed by the U.S.-led coalition, went on to recapture Mosul in July 2017. When the U.S. combat mission ended in 2021, ISIS continued operating in parts of Iraq and Syria.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has said it will continue working to dismantle ISIS networks and prevent the terror group’s resurgence.

But, citing Iraqi intelligence estimates, Mohammed said the number of ISIS fighters in neighboring Syria has increased from around 2,000 to as many as 10,000 since the collapse of Bashar Assad’s government in 2024.

Mohammed also said the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF, an umbrella organization integrated into Iraq’s security forces, was never disbanded after ISIS’s territorial defeat.

He estimated the force has about 238,000 members, receives billions of dollars in government funding and includes factions with close ties to Iran that operate outside the Iraqi government’s direct control.

Now Baghdad is trying to bring armed factions, including Kataib Hezbollah and Asaib Ahl al-Haq, under full state control.

“Sept. 30 is not one deadline; it is two,” Mohammed said, referring to the simultaneous U.S. withdrawal and the domestic disarmament push.

“The militias and ISIS are not separate stories; they are deeply interdependent. Each actively justifies the other. Both forces thrive in the unstable spaces the central state cannot hold.”

The U.S. withdrawal also follows a 2024 U.S.-Iraq agreement that envisioned ending the mission in Iraq by 2025 while continuing support for anti-ISIS operations in Syria through September 2026. Mohammed warned against repeating past complacency.

“Mosul did not fall in 2014 because ISIS was strong. It fell because everything that would have detected its strength—presence, attention, honest reporting from the ground—had been withdrawn in the years before, while the world’s eyes were elsewhere.”

Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s White House meeting July 14, where it was announced remaining U.S. troops would leave Iraq, drew condemnation from Tehran.

According to Iran International, Ali Akbar Velayati, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei , called al-Zaidi’s trip “regrettable” and claimed it damaged Iraq’s dignity.

Mohammed said Iran’s influence inside Iraq is important to Tehran after U.S. strikes degraded parts of its proxy network.

“Iran’s strategic calculation matters more now than at any point in a decade because Iraq is essentially what Iran has left,” Mohammed said. “So the regime’s real fear is not resurgence. It is irrelevance.”

Tehran fears an Iraq where the government successfully disarms the militias, U.S. forces leave on Baghdad’s terms rather than Iran’s, and no active security crisis remains to justify armed groups operating outside full state control, he said.

“That said, what happens across the wider region after September will not be decided by anyone’s stated intentions or diplomatic promises,” Mohammed added.

“I have seen what a city pays when that judgment is wrong. Whether ISIS grows large enough to frighten Iran, or stays just large enough to serve it, will be one of the defining questions of the year after the withdrawal,” he warned.

This farmer wanted to quit the cocaine industry – he couldn’t

This farmer wanted to quit the cocaine industry – he couldn’t


Elena Hernández moved to the coca-growing region of Guaviare during the boom of the 1990s, lured by better pay.

“There was more money back then – you could see it everywhere,” she says. “I managed to save and buy a small house.”

But the coca industry also brought violence and insecurity. Armed groups fought for control, while the government tried to curb production through manual eradication, aerial fumigation and arrests.

These efforts cut off families’ incomes but failed to stem cultivation.

So when a nationwide substitution programme was introduced by the then government in 2017, Hernández was eager to sign up, joining around 100,000 families who were promised financial support in return for moving away from coca.

Each household was due to get 36m Colombian pesos ($11,000; £8,000), spread over a two-year period.

“The way it was presented to us, it seemed very promising for the development of our territory,” says Hernández.

The programme, known as the National Comprehensive Programme for the Substitution of Illicit Crops (PNIS), was born out of the 2016 peace deal between the government and Colombia’s largest guerrilla group, Farc.

In exchange for uprooting their coca plants, farmers would also get technical support, including from agronomists, and advice on soil management.

While substitution programmes had existed before, they remained limited in scale. PNIS was the most ambitious attempt to date – and at first appeared to be working.

In parts of southern Meta and Guaviare, coca fields were replaced by lemon trees, banana crops and small livestock farms. Many farmers, like Hernández, stayed away from coca.

Yet that does not mean they consider it a success.

“The government wasn’t very committed to us farmers. We were treated badly,” explains Hernández, pointing to problems that emerged early on.

Payments were delayed, and technical support frequently failed to materialise. Weak state presence in rural areas and poor coordination between agencies meant support often did not reach communities.

Momentum behind the programme weakened as political priorities shifted. Iván Duque, who became Colombia’s president in 2018, refocused the government’s approach on eradication and security strategies.

By the time current President Gustavo Petro took office in 2022, PNIS was behind schedule and struggling to reach communities.

But some farmers did report improvements. For Doralba Bejarano, from Puerto Rico in southern Meta, her situation improved as stalled support began to arrive.

“Before the programme we were terrified,” she says. “We had to hide the coca paste because the police, the military, would put us in jail.” Coca paste is a more concentrated form of coca used to produce cocaine, allowing growers to earn more than selling raw leaves.

Now, she says, she has peace of mind: “I go wherever I want. I have no reason to hide.”

She says many in her community are now receiving government support to promote and sell their non-coca crops and other foodstuffs.

My fitness tracker knew I was pregnant before I did


Dr Stuart Lavery, consultant of reproductive medicine at University College Hospital in London, said: “People are understandably using this technology to try to get a greater understanding, and to try and pick up things as early as possible because it has such a profound impact on your life if you’re planning a pregnancy.”

However, “we might be running before we can walk,” he cautioned.

“We probably need a lot more data on the reliability, we need a lot more research… otherwise what happens is your levels of anxiety will just skyrocket,” he said.

“I have no doubt that more people will be using technology, an app-based approach or a wearable-based approach, to try and pick up these things. But I think it should come with quite a big health warning about how much we can rely on them for accuracy.”

When asked about the anxiety women reported feeling early in their pregnancy as a result of checking their ring data, Dr Chris Curry, Oura’s clinical director of women’s health, told BBC News: “With or without biometric tracking, pregnancy can be an uncertain time where many women, particularly those pregnant for the first time, are in the dark about the range of what’s normal.”

She added that if women feel overwhelmed, the company “encourages members to take a break from the app experience, whilst Oura Ring continues to collect data and gather insights”, adding: “The ring is a support tool, not a replacement for your care team.”

Ravika sadly did miscarry. She’s hoping to start trying to conceive again soon – and when she does, her experience has made her rethink wearing her tracker again.

“I didn’t really see myself as being an anxious person, but… I think going forward if it came to a point where I had an inkling that I was pregnant and my stats were low, as soon as that positive pregnancy test was there, I do think it would be the best thing for me to take the ring off.”

Pre-travel primping ‘costing holidaymakers typically more than £150’


Holidaymakers who are having beauty, hair and skincare glow-ups ahead of their summer trip are budgeting to spend more than £150 typically, a survey has found.

More than three-quarters (76%) of men said they would be treating themselves to a makeover before jetting off, with 82% of women doing the same, according to the research for buy now pay later provider Clearpay.

On average, the amount people are expecting to spend before going on holiday this summer is £158, including on products they can use at home as well as by using professional services, such as a pre-holiday dash to the hairdresser.

This rises to £206 for those heading to France or Italy and £237 for those travelling to the United States.

The research indicated men are particularly likely to treat themselves to a new haircut before heading off, with 25% doing so, compared with 22% of women.

Hair colouring, facials, and manicures or pedicures were also popular options for pre-holiday upgrades among people surveyed.

Some 44% of people said they were motivated to look as good as they can while they are on holiday, while 37% said feeling their best is a priority when they go away.

Nearly a fifth (18%) said they enjoy trying new beauty products and treatments specifically for their trip, according to the survey carried out by OnePoll of 2,000 people across the UK in July.
