93 m. ago Weather tracker: sandstorm turns Iraqi skies orange and empties the streets

Thousands go to hospital with respiratory problems after massive dust cloud blows in from Saudi ArabiaIraq was hit by its most severe sandstorm of 2025 this week, turning skies from blue to an orange haze. Visibility dropped to less than half a mile, causing travel disruptions, with two major airports halting flights, and streets in Basra, the largest city in southern Iraq, left deserted. Respiratory problems sent thousands to hospital. The storm also affected Kuwait, where wind gusts exceeded 50mph, and visibility in some areas was diminished to zero.This massive dust cloud originated in Saudi Arabia before being blown into Iraq. While dust storms are common in Iraq, climate change is expected to intensify them across the region in the future, fuelled by desertification in Saudi Arabia and Syria. Continue reading...

3 h. ago At last – mineral sunscreens that don’t make you look like a ghost

The best new products are light, ungreasy – and leave no white castI never thought I’d write so uncritically about a mineral sunscreen, but what follows is an unequivocal rave. Sunscreens that use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide (rather than synthetic chemical filters) can be useful, even essential, for those with highly sensitive and reactive skin. They tend not to cause the stinging or streaming eyes common with synthetics, and some studies show they’re a more helpful option for those with melasma and other pigmentation issues. They also play well with makeup, while some synthetics can ball up and peel off when applying foundation.But all this goodness comes with a short but significant cons list: minerals are heavier, greasier and leave a trace, ranging from a fine, chalky veil to a ghostly white cast. It isn’t pleasant for anyone, but is particularly intolerable on deeper skin tones. Continue reading...

13 h. ago Reece James bemoans ‘poor’ Chelsea display as Legia Warsaw cause fright

Chelsea must be the first team in history to be booed into a European semi-final. Such is life for Enzo Maresca at the moment. Losing 2-1 to Legia Warsaw on the night was embarrassing. Chelsea, who seemed intent on giving the fifth-best side in Poland hope of pulling off a comeback for the ages at a disgruntled Stamford Bridge, were shambolic and easily could have crashed out.No wonder Maresca is not feeling the love from the crowd. Nobody celebrated Chelsea squeezing into a Conference League semi-final against Djurgården after winning 4-2 on aggregate. The defending was miserable and the attack was poor. Filip Jörgensen, Robert Sánchez’s understudy, was jittery in goal and the worries around Cole Palmer’s slump are not going away. Continue reading...
