Albon admits Williams are having to play catch-up in Bahrain (Bradley Collyer/PA)“We’re not here to finish P5 in the constructors’ championship, we’re here to be a top team,” Albon told the Press Association. Asked whether a first career race win was possible this season, Albon said: “I don’t believe so, no. I think realistically what this whole reset has done is reset the system and the top four teams have pulled away from everyone else. Albon admits he felt “burnt out” by the end of last season and is keen to avoid that happening again. In the end, we have partners and we have F1 mandatory things that we have to do.

Dozens of world leaders and national delegations will meet in Washington DC on Thursday for the inaugural meeting of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, as major European allies declined to join the group and criticised the organisation’s murky funding and political mandate. There also was little indication how a Board of Peace could break a key deadlock in negotiations between Israel and Hamas, he added. Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, who signed up to the idea during a visit to Washington last week, has chosen to skip the meeting. Developments on the ground have indicated that few of the political or security organisations under the Trump-backed peace plan have actually made progress toward resolving the conflict or easing Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. “Everything is going slower than expected, and everyone is very frustrated,” said Gershon Baskin, an Israeli commentator and peace activist who played a role in negotiating the peace plan.

Per Turkish outlet A Spor, Liverpool FC have been named as a potential suitor for Galatasaray’s 28-year-old right-back Roland Sallai. The Hungarian is said to have attracted the interest of fellow Premier League sides Sunderland and Brentford after an impressive season at the Turkish Super Lig side. While Transfermarkt’s values can be nonsense sometimes, the player is valued at around €10M on the site. Such a move would also seem to be made with Bradley and Frimpong still deemed to be the primary options. With the Hungarian connection and the possibility of a Sallai/Salah tongue twister combo on the right flank, all in all it’s a pretty fun rumour.

Donald Trump’s immigration policies are having a chilling effect on the hospitality industry, where nearly a third of workers are immigrants, according to the largest hospitality union in the US. The number of employed hospitality workers dropped by 98,000 from December 2024 to December 2025, according to a report from Unite Here, which represents 300,000 workers across the hospitality, food and tourism industries in the US and Canada. Union leaders say the Trump administration’s brutal immigration crackdown has not only scared workers but has also discouraged international tourism. Because of the federal government’s immigration crackdown, “many of our members have been afraid to go to work,” Lüneburg said. International visitors to the US declined by 2.5 million in 2025, even as international tourism increased around the world, according to Unite Here’s report.

About 16.5 million workers were covered by a union contract in 2025, up from 16 million in 2024 and the highest level since 2009. The increase stems from workers joining unions as members – 14.7 million US workers were union members in 2025, up from 14.2 million workers in 2024. Despite the decline, public approval of labor unions has increased in recent years. “The second Trump administration launched the most vicious attack on public sector union workers since the Reagan era. The Trump administration is pushing to cancel collective bargaining agreements for about 1 million federal workers, which would offset these slight gains.

The climate crisis is killing people. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the “endangerment finding” in 2009. The endangerment finding was not rhetorical flourish. In refusing to fight the climate crisis, the administration risks undermining the nationalist politics it claims to champion. The climate crisis does not stop at national borders.
