    The Guardian 5/5 
    “A rolling sea of charm, chaos, substance, sadness and piercing insight – and yet more proof this nascent star is in a class of her own”  

    The Telegraph 5/5 
    “The flame-haired Irish singer is exactly what the industry is crying out for” 

    The i 5/5 
    “(CMAT) is a singular artist and EURO-COUNTRY is the album of the year” 

    Rolling Stone UK 5/5 
    “A catchy, important and hilarious album from a singer who is deservedly set to be the breakout star of 2025”  

    Pitchfork
    “(CMAT’s) new album overflows with comedy, tragedy, and self-lacerating wit. It’s a bold statement from a true original.”

    EURO-COUNTRY, crowned Feature Album of the Week on Double J upon release, has been praised by the likes of The Guardian, Mojo and Rolling Stone UK, earning multiple 5-star reviews. On stage with her Very Sexy CMAT Band, audiences experience her impressive ability to combine contradictory themes and moods: wide-eye drama with self-deprecation; the fusion of country and pop, with even more influences stretching across decades and genres.

    A relentless touring schedule has cemented CMAT’s reputation as one of the best live acts around – alongside Glastonbury, 2025 highlights include Green Man, Primavera, Pukkelpop, NOS Alive and a UK run supporting Sam Fender, and upcoming headline shows across the US, UK and Ireland.

    Recorded in New York and co-produced by long-time collaborator Oli Deakin, EURO-COUNTRY tackles big themes – re-evaluating where you come from; the impact of economics on a small country; the pressure of increased fame – with her most immediate songs to date. The album capped off a huge summer for the Irish star: from a “career making” (The Guardian) Glastonbury Pyramid Stage via to the viral ‘Woke Macarena’ TikTok trend, it debuted at #1 on the Irish Album Charts and secured Top 2 positions in both the UK and Scotland.

    Speaking about the LP, CMAT said: “EURO-COUNTRY is, I think, the best thing I have ever made. I felt halfway through recording it was the most important record I’ve made for myself… mainly because it was making me go crazy.

    “I’m always going to make the work I want to make, because there is a little gremlin in my head that tells me if it’s shit. More than success, there’s a bigger gremlin that wants me to make music that’s really good. She’s brutal and has ruined my life at times, but she is the keeper of my life and she’s always right.”

    Despite this being her third album, this fully-formed acronymic star feels like she’s been part of the culture forever. EURO-COUNTRY follows 2023’s brilliant Crazymad, For Me – an album that propelled her to wider attention and garnered numerous accolades: including a BRITs Best International Artist nod; and ‘Best Album’ nominations from the Ivors; Mercury Prize and the Choice Music Prize in her native Ireland (an award she won for her debut, If My Wife New I’d Be Dead).

    Press, radio and television have all been integral in her rise, with numerous covers, five- star reviews, playlists, Maida Vale sessions and TV appearances, including Jools Holland (both Later… and a memorable turn on his Hootenanny) and The Graham Norton Show.

    “The album title works on three levels: the kind of country music I make; the fact that Ireland is a European country, a country run by the euro, and capitalism is one of the worst things to ever happen to us.

    So, I would consider this my most country record, as in, steeped in the traditions of country. But neither Oli [Deakin, Producer] or I wanted to make something that we’d heard before. If we know that the thing we’re doing already exists, we have to fight against it, and find a more interesting, more beautiful way of making it. So there’s slide guitar and fiddle playing, but to a lot of listeners it will sound not country, but it is! We were just trying to bend the barriers of it a bit.

    And on a wider level, EURO-COUNTRY is the name I’ve given to the pain of the loss of community that has happened over the last twenty to thirty years. Nobody is hanging out anymore, nobody is talking to each other, nobody is living together anymore. The shape of life, not just family life, but adult life, has completely transformed from the way it was before the internet and gig economy and I feel like it’s so responsible for so much of the societal and mental health issues that are really drilling everyone under the age of 35 right now. It feels so individualistic. It feels like such a product of late capitalism. And I couldn’t get it out of my head.”

    EURO-COUNTRY marks another step in the unstoppable rise of CMAT and cements her position as a generational songwriter. Don’t miss out when she performs the celebrated album live across Australia throughout January 2026. Tickets go on sale from 11am local time on Monday 15 September.

  • Australia approves world-first vaccine to curb killer epidemic

    Australia approves world-first vaccine to curb killer epidemic

    The single-dose vaccine aims to stop the spread and severity of the disease

    A world-first vaccine which could save Australia’s endangered koala population from a rampant chlamydia epidemic has now been approved by a federal regulator.

    University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) scientists spent more than a decade developing a vaccine to curb the spread of the disease – transmitted by close contact or mating – which has decimated wild koala populations across most of eastern Australia.

    “Some individual wild colonies, where infection rate can be as high as 70 percent, are edging closer to extinction every day,” Dr Peter Timms said.

    He said the team hoped to secure major funding to roll out the vaccine nationally to wildlife hospitals, vet clinics and koalas in the wild.

    Dr Timms, who specialises in microbiology, said the single-dose vaccine – without the need for a booster – was the ideal solution to stop the “rapid, devastating spread of this disease, which accounts for as much as half of koala deaths across wild populations”.

    Apart from being potentially fatal, chlamydia can also cause painful urinary tract infections, conjunctivitis, blindness and infertility in koalas.

    Both male and female koalas can contract the disease, which is a different strain to the one found in humans, while joeys can catch it through feeding in their mother’s pouch.

    Koalas infected with chlamydia are usually given antibiotics but the treatment means they cannot digest eucalyptus leaves – their only food source – leading to starvation and sometimes death.

    The much-loved national icon has faced increasing threats to its wild populations across much of eastern Australia in recent decades from factors including land clearing, bushfires, drought and urbanisation.

    But chlamydia has been the biggest killer and claimed thousands of koalas, with some estimating that only 50,000 remain in the wild.

    The vaccine’s approval is based on a decade-long study of clinical trials, which the university described as the largest and longest ever study of wild koalas.

    “This study found [the vaccine] reduced the likelihood of koalas developing symptoms of chlamydia during breeding age and decreased mortality from the disease in wild populations by at least 65%,” said UniSC’s Dr Sam Phillips, who led the research.

    This latest development comes a day after the New South Wales government announced 176,000 hectares of state forest would be reserved for the proposed Great Koala National Park amid fears that wild koalas will be extinct in the state by 2050.

    The park will “ensure koalas survive into the future so our grandchildren will still be able to see them in the wild”, said NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharpe.

    The park aims to protect more than 12,000 koalas as well as provide a habitat for more than 100 other threatened species.

With the current state of Subterfuge and other abilities in Mists of Pandaria, it has become clear that Shadow Sight behavior is not fulfilling its intended purpose. This change results in Shadow Sight lasting 15 seconds the first time it is picked up, and then 20 seconds, the second time, and then 25 seconds the third time, and so on.

    K’aresh

This was later superseded by changes made to Sweeping Strikes in patch 5.4, when Garalon was no longer the most relevant content. This fix returns Sweeping Strikes to its original behavior for Garalon’s body.

    • Rogue

      • Subtlety

        • Sanguinary Veins bonus damage reduced to 40% (was 50%).

          • Developers’ notes: A bug fix made right before the release of Heart of Fear addressed a situation where multiple rogues in a group were constantly removing this damage increase from each other and not benefitting from it. The bug was pulling down average Subtlety performance, and since the correction, things got a little out of hand. This may display an incorrect value between 40/45/50%, so to be clear, 40% is the intended value.

      • In the Dalaran Sewers Arena, Priests can no longer place Lightwells in areas that other players cannot reach.

  • The Real Madrid Foundation marks 28 years fostering cooperation, integration and education in values through sport

    The Real Madrid Foundation marks 28 years fostering cooperation, integration and education in values through sport

    The Real Madrid Foundation is celebrating its 28th anniversary. With 112,775 direct beneficiaries across all five continents, last season saw over 1,100 programs and activities focused on sporting practice and educational sports in 102 countries. This means the Foundation’s projects have impacted nearly two million individuals since their inception, harnessing sports and values as tools for social intervention through programs for education, cooperation, social development and inclusion.

    In Spain, there are a total of 165 social sports schools and projects, catering for over 12,300 people in a range of circumstances, in many cases from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. Some of the latest developments include opening sensory schools for boys and girls with visual and hearing disabilities, a social sports school at the La Cantueña refuge, and the expansion of the Emprendeporte program for the unemployed by increasing the age range and continuing the good work from previous years.

    On an international level, this season has seen some 260 schools and projects in 64 countries on all five continents help 30,123 young people in disadvantaged, vulnerable settings, or those at risk of social exclusion – 34% of them young girls. The Foundation has increased its operations with new social sports schools in Bolivia, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Italy, Ghana, and Equatorial Guinea, and the first international wheelchair basketball school in Cambodia. All of this comes in an increasingly complex international context, marked by war, political tensions and social, humanitarian and economic crises.

    Secondary action line
    The Educational Football Program, holiday campus and clinics make up the Real Madrid Foundation’s second most significant line of educational activity: promoting high quality educational sports opportunities for a positive use of free time, perfection of skills, and use as an educational tool. So far, this area has seen over 70,000 participants and, beyond delving into the educational field, it has also contributed to the continued sustainability of the social sports projects for young people in need.

    The Foundation has organised a host of large events this season, such as the charity run, which took in the Santiago Bernabéu for the first time, and the Corazón Classic Match. It has also sealed over 30 alliances at Real Madrid City, alongside the various conferences, seminars and conventions it has been involved in. Furthermore, its training activities through the omnichannel Sport Values Academy TV platform have reached almost 300,000 individuals, plus the nearly 12,000 who have completed the over 250 courses, sessions and workshops. In total, over 305,000 people have been directly impacted either online or offline by the Real Madrid Foundation’s efforts around the world.

    In order to ensure the Foundation’s financial sustainability, Real Madrid make a yearly donation. This is combined with the resources generated by the institution itself and partnerships with renowned companies and collaborators, alongside the generous individual contributions of thousands of madridistas, guaranteeing that sports can continue to improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people, particularly young people in vulnerable situations and other disadvantaged groups.

  • Australia approves world-first vaccine to curb koala chlamydia epidemic

    Australia approves world-first vaccine to curb koala chlamydia epidemic

    A world-first vaccine which can save Australia’s endangered koala population from a rampant chlamydia epidemic has now been approved by a federal regulator.

    University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) scientists spent more than a decade developing a vaccine to curb the spread of the disease – transmitted by close contact or mating – which has decimated wild koala populations across most of eastern Australia.

    “Some individual wild colonies, where infection rate can be as high as 70 percent, are edging closer to extinction every day,” Dr Peter Timms said.

    He said the team hoped to secure major funding to roll out the vaccine nationally to wildlife hospitals, vet clinics and koalas in the wild.

    Dr Timms, who specialises in microbiology, said the single-dose vaccine – without the need for a booster – was the ideal solution to stop the “rapid, devastating spread of this disease, which accounts for as much as half of koala deaths across wild populations”.

    Apart from being potentially fatal, chlamydia can also cause painful urinary tract infections, conjunctivitis, blindness and infertility in koalas.

    Both male and female koalas can contract the disease, which is a different strain to the one found in humans, while joeys can catch it through feeding in their mother’s pouch.

    Koalas infected with chlamydia are usually given antibiotics but the treatment means they cannot digest eucalyptus leaves – their only food source – leading to starvation and sometimes death.

    The much-loved national icon has faced increasing threats to its wild populations across much of eastern Australia in recent decades from factors including land clearing, bushfires, drought and urbanisation.

    But chlamydia has been the biggest killer and claimed thousands of koalas, with some estimates that only 50,000 remain in the wild.

    The vaccine’s approval is based on a decade-long study of clinical trials, which the university described as the largest and longest ever study of wild koalas.

    “This study found [the vaccine] reduced the likelihood of koalas developing symptoms of chlamydia during breeding age and decreased mortality from the disease in wild populations by at least 65%,” said UniSC’s Dr Sam Phillips, who led the research.

    This latest development comes a day after the New South Wales government announced 176,000 hectares of state forest would be reserved for the proposed Great Koala National Park amid fears that wild koalas will be extinct in the state by 2050.

    The park will “ensure koalas survive into the future so our grandchildren will still be able to see them in the wild”, said NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharpe.

    The park aims to protect more than 12,000 koalas as well as provide a habitat for more than 100 other threatened species.

  • High blood pressure in midlife is associated with an increased risk of vascular dementia — Nuffield Department of Population Health

    High blood pressure in midlife is associated with an increased risk of vascular dementia — Nuffield Department of Population Health

    Evidence from the Million Women Study has shown that women who have hypertension (high blood pressure) in their 50s or 60s are at increased risk of developing vascular dementia in their 70s or 80s. The study is published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

    Previous studies have demonstrated an association between hypertension and dementia but the evidence has been inconsistent in relation to types of dementia. It has also been suggested that having hypertension during pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of dementia later in life but there have been few large studies where participants have been followed up over a long enough period of time to be able to definitively say that the increased risk of dementia is due to hypertension in pregnancy or other factors.

    In this study, researchers analysed data from 1.3 million participants in the Million Women Study, 16% of whom reported being treated for hypertension at recruitment to the study. Their health records were then followed up over an average of 21 years to identify participants who developed dementia. During follow-up, 84,729 participants developed dementia; of whom 27,522 were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and 14,346 were diagnosed with vascular dementia.

    The association between hypertension during pregnancy and risk of dementia was also investigated. After excluding women who had not had children, there were 1.2 million participants in the analysis, 27% of whom reported hypertension in pregnancy.

    Key findings:

    • Midlife hypertension was associated with a 17% increased risk of dementia;
    • This was driven mainly by the association between midlife hypertension and vascular dementia, where there was a 50% increased risk of dementia in those with midlife hypertension compared to those without hypertension;
    • There was no association between midlife hypertension and Alzheimer’s disease;
    • Hypertension during pregnancy was associated with a small increased risk of dementia, but this was mainly due to the strong association between midlife hypertension and dementia. When midlife hypertension was taken into account, there was a weak association with dementia for women who had only had hypertension during pregnancy and not in midlife (5% increased risk of dementia).

    Sarah Floud, Co-Principal Investigator of the Million Women Study and Associate Professor at Oxford Population Health, said ‘Our results have shown that midlife hypertension is a strong risk factor for dementia, particularly for vascular dementia. However, hypertension during pregnancy does not appear to materially affect dementia risk.

    Public health efforts to prevent high blood pressure during midlife could lead to a considerable reduction in the incidence of vascular dementia.’

  • City’s Omar Marmoush injures knee ahead of Manchester derby

    City’s Omar Marmoush injures knee ahead of Manchester derby

    Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush suffered a knee ligament injury during Egypt’s World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso.

    With City set to host Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, the 26-year-old was forced off in the ninth minute of his country’s goalless draw in Ouagadougou.

    Marmoush sustained the injury in a robust fourth-minute challenge and initially played on after receiving treatment on the field before being replaced.

    A picture of the player leaving the pitch with medics was posted on the Egyptian Football Association’s X account, with the caption: “Omar Marmoush suffers a bruised knee ligament.”

    Marmoush, who scored on Friday in Egypt’s 2-0 qualifying win over Ethiopia in Cairo, will be assessed by City ahead of the Manchester derby.

    The January signing from Eintracht Frankfurt has started his club’s last two top-flight matches — defeats to Tottenham and Brighton — after coming on as a substitute in the 4-0 opening-weekend win at Wolves.

    Game of Thrones Universe Alums Join Black Mirror Boss, Love Island Games Lineup and More

    Two former residents of Westeros are teaming up with the twisted mind behind Black Mirror.

    Lena Headey and Paddy Considine have signed on to star in a Netflix detective series from Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, the streamer announced on Tuesday. The untitled four-part series seems to be a parody of dreary UK crime dramas, pitched as “a profoundly serious, stunningly original crime thriller in which a tormented detective from the Northern city of Bleakford ventures down to London on a mission to catch a ritualistic serial killer before they run out of people to kill.” (It “contains blood and frowning,” the synopsis adds.)

    More from TVLine

    Joining Headey and Considine in the cast is Georgina Campbell (Krypton), who starred in Black Mirror’s Season 4 episode “Hang the DJ.” Headey, of course, is best known for playing Cersei Lannister on HBO’s Game of Thrones, while Considine appeared in the freshman season of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon as King Viserys Targaryen.

  • What we know of Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Doha

    What we know of Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Doha

    Reuters A photograph of a man looking at the smoke in the sky Reuters

    Israel carried out a strike on senior Hamas leaders in Qatar’s capital, Doha, on Tuesday afternoon.

    Qatar quickly accused Israel of “reckless” behaviour and breaking international law after the attack on a residential premises in the city.

    The Israel Defense Forces claimed to have targeted those “directly responsible for the brutal October 7 massacre”.

    Here is what we know so far.

    How and where was attack carried out?

    CCTV captures moment of Israeli attack on Hamas leaders in Doha

    Explosions were heard and smoke was seen rising above the Qatari capital Doha early on Tuesday afternoon.

    Verified footage showed smoke rising from a heavily-damaged section of a complex next to Woqod petrol station on Wadi Rawdan Street, close to the West Bay Lagoon district north of central Doha.

    According to the Israeli military, it conducted a “precise strike” targeted at Hamas senior leaders in Qatar using “precise munitions”.

    Israeli media says the operation involved 15 Israeli fighter jets, firing 10 munitions against a single target.

    Qatar has hosted Hamas’s political bureau since 2012 and has played a key role in facilitating indirect negotiations between the group and Israel since the 7 October attacks.

    An annotated map of the neighbourhood were the explosion took place. An area highlighting the damaged building can be seen

    Who was hit in the attack?

    Hamas said members of the group’s negotiating delegation in Doha were targeted but survived the strike. However Hamas said six others, including a Qatari security official, were killed.

    According to Hamas, those killed were:

    • Humam Al-Hayya (Abu Yahya) – son of chief negotiator al-Hayya
    • Jihad Labad (Abu Bilal) – director of al-Hayya’s office
    • Abdullah Abdul Wahid (Abu Khalil)
    • Moamen Hassouna (Abu Omar)
    • Ahmed Al-Mamluk (Abu Malik)
    • Corporal Badr Saad Mohammed Al-Humaidi – Qatari internal security forces

    “We confirm the enemy’s failure to assassinate our brothers in the negotiating delegation,” a Hamas statement said.

    It added the strike “confirms beyond doubt that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement” for peace.

    Earlier in a post on X, Israel’s President Isaac Herzog says it was “important and correct” to target Hamas’s leadership, and then condemned Khalil al-Hayya – Hamas’s chief negotiator and exiled Gaza leader – without confirming he was a direct target.

    A senior Israeli official told Israeli media that al-Hayya was one of those targeted, as well as Zaher Jabarin, the exiled West Bank leader.

    What did the US know and did Trump give a ‘green light’?

    The office for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put out a statement shortly after the strike, claiming the attack was “a wholly independent Israeli operation”.

    “Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility,” the statement said.

    The White House also quickly confirmed it was informed of the operation, almost certainly because of the proximity of the huge US airbase at al-Udeid, just outside Doha.

    In a post on Truth Social some hours after the attack, Donald Trump said the strike was “a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me”.

    The president said as soon as he was notified of the attack, he “immediately directed” US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to inform Qatar, but said the notification was made “too late” to stop it.

    “I view Qatar as a strong Ally and friend of the U.S., and feel very badly about the location of the attack,” he said in the post, adding that he had assured its leaders that “such a thing will not happen again on their soil”.

    He added: “Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals. However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal.”

    Questions remain over how the attack on sovereign Qatari soil will affect the al-Udeid US airbase and US relations with all its Gulf Arab allies.

    What were Hamas leaders doing in Qatar?

    Qatar has acted as a mediator between Israel and Hamas and has hosted negotiations between them since October 2023.

    A couple of days ago, Hamas said it welcomed “some ideas” from the US about how to reach a Gaza ceasefire agreement that it received through mediators. It said it was in discussion about how to turn them “into a comprehensive agreement that meets the needs of our people”.

    It’s thought likely the targeted Hamas leaders were in the middle of discussing their formal response to the US ideas.

    A Palestinian official earlier told the BBC the US plan would see the 48 remaining hostages in Gaza freed in the first 48 hours of a 60-day truce in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and good-faith negotiations on a permanent ceasefire.

    How has Qatar reacted?

    In Doha, the Qatari government reacted with fury, calling the attack reckless and cowardly, and a blatant violation of all international laws and norms.

    “While the State of Qatar strongly condemns this assault, it confirms that it will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behaviour and the ongoing disruption of regional security, nor any act that targets its security and sovereignty,” a statement from its foreign ministry said.

    Similar statements of outrage came from across the Arab world.

    UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres also condemned “this flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar”.
