Wiffen moves training base from California to Dublin

Olympic gold medallist Daniel Wiffen says he is looking at his training base move from University of California, Berkley to Dublin with Swim Ireland as a "permanent one".

Wiffen has moved his training base from University of California, Berkley to Dublin's National Aquatic Centre

The 24-year-old moved to the USA, where his twin Nathan also trained, last year after five years at Loughborough University.

He said in the lead up to the Irish Open earlier this month that he would consider moving to Dublin if if he did not put in strong performances in Bangor.

Wiffen won three golds in the 800m freestyle, the 400m and 1500m in Northern Ireland but still decided to follow through with the switch after what he described as a "pretty awful" time in the 800m.

"I'm looking at it as a permanent move. I thought California was a permanent move, but that didn't work out," he said.

The Europa League winner turned director, actor, DJ and photographer

Alfie Whiteman picked up a Europa League winners' medal last year, now at 27 he has retired from football and is opening his first photography exhibition.

Alfie Whiteman was on the bench as Tottenham beat Manchester United to win the Europa League in Bilbao last May

Alfie Whiteman scans the self-portraits on display at a Grade II listed art gallery inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the ones he took of himself hanging out of a tumble dryer, celebrating a birthday alone in the woods and sitting naked on a jetty staring out over Sweden's Lake Mockeln.

"There was no intention of anyone ever seeing these pictures," he laughs. "But that also just reflects how I was living before - I kind of split my life in two."

Whiteman was on the bench when Spurs won the Europa League in Bilbao. Less than a year since that success he is showing BBC Sport his new exhibition having retired at just 26 a few months later.

An open-top bus parade through the north London streets where he grew up was the culmination of more than 15 years with the boyhood club he joined aged 10, having watched them lift the 2008 League Cup at Wembley with his dad.

"I was waving at my friend and sister like 'I'll be home in a sec just doing a loop round the block!'," he says about the Europa League celebrations. "There was a youth centre I used to help out in and one of the kids was like 'Hey! What are you doing there!'"

Spurs run away with Game 5 to finish off Blazers

The Spurs are back in the Western Conference semifinals for the first time since 2017 are eliminating the Blazers 114-95 on Tuesday night in Game 5 of their first-round series.

SAN ANTONIO -- Victor Wembanyama had 17 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks and the San Antonio Spurs never trailed in eliminating the Portland Trail Blazers 114-95 on Tuesday night in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.

De'Aaron Fox had 21 points, Julian Champagnie added 19 points and Dylan Harper had 17 as the Spurs led by as many as 28 points in winning their third straight game to advance to the second round.

San Antonio advances to the Western Conference semifinals for the first time since 2017, when it beat the Houston Rockets before losing Kawhi Leonard to an ankle injury and then getting swept by Golden State in the conference finals.

The Spurs will face the winner of the series between the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves . The Timberwolves lead that series 3-2, with Game 6 scheduled for Thursday.

Leonard's injury and subsequent trade led to a rapid descent in the Spurs' fortunes. That futility allowed San Antonio to draft Wembanyama, and the 7-foot-4 center from France was stellar in closing out the series.

Portland cut its deficit to 91-82 with eight minutes remaining following an 11-0 run. But San Antonio stuffed the rally, including Wembanyama sending Deni Avdija 's floater off the top of the backboard and into the crowd in the final minutes.

Brunson's 'phenomenal' performance lifts Knicks

With the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series tied at 2-2, New York's Jalen Brunson delivered a signature game at the right time, helping the Knicks to post a comfortable 126-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.

Atlanta Hawks vs. New York Knicks: Game Highlights (1:11)

NEW YORK -- Jalen Brunson hadn't yet delivered a signature game in the New York Knicks ' first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks . The swing Game 5 seemed like the perfect time to remedy that.

Brunson's 39 points was, by far, his best showing of the series, and it coincided with the Knicks' all-around domination of the Hawks Tuesday in a 126-97 win at Madison Square Garden. New York took a 3-2 lead with a chance to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Thursday.

It was the second straight complete performance by the Knicks after two one-point losses, and perhaps Brunson had the Hawks' Game 2 visit in mind when stunned with Knicks with a fourth-quarter rally to steal homecourt advantage.

Brunson closed out the evening with 17 in the fourth to help the Knicks win comfortably.

"The ball went in, but just happy to we were able to keep the lead," Brunson said. "They're a team that's capable of going on runs, as you know, from early in the series. But I liked the way we played in the fourth and kept the lead."

Dominant defense smothers Stars in Wild's G5 win

After trailing this Western Conference quarterfinal series, 2-1, the Minnesota Wild have now won consecutive games, the last being a 4-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night, and are now one win away from advancing for the first time since 2015.

DALLAS -- The Minnesota Wild are now one win away from advancing to the second round for the first time in more than a decade.

And they're in that position after suffocating one of the NHL's best attacks in a 4-2 win Tuesday against the Dallas Stars in Game 5 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

The series resumes Thursday in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the Wild will have the first of two attempts to capture a playoff series since they last did it in 2015 when they beat the St. Louis Blues in six games before losing in the second round to the Chicago Blackhawks .

"I think it's the guys we have in here now," said Wild forward Marcus Foligno , who has been with the franchise since 2017. "I think it's a little bit different. I think we have a lot of leadership and guys that are experienced. You get a guy like Michael McCarron tonight that steps up. Our penalty kill does the job and the goaltending. I just think that there's always been someone every night that's stepped up to help this team."

Opening the series with a 6-1 win was immense for a few reasons. It gave the Wild the upper hand and their first Game 1 playoff series since 2023. Furthermore, it also showed that the Wild could generate and capitalize on scoring chances, a sign of growth from a team that had previously struggled to do both in previous playoff trips.

The way they stuck with the Stars, who have reached three straight Western Conference finals, in consecutive overtime contests in Games 3 and 4 also reinforced how comfortable they performed in tight situations.

Trump to feature on limited-edition US passports for 250th anniversary

United States President Donald Trump will feature on a new, limited-edition US passport being issued to mark the country’s 250th anniversary in July, officials said, the latest area of public life to receive Trump’s personal branding.

Images released by the White House and the Department of State on Tuesday show Trump’s portrait incorporated into the design, set against elements of the Declaration of Independence and the US flag. The rendering also includes the president’s signature in gold.

Another page will feature an illustration of the Founding Fathers signing the Declaration of Independence.

“As the United States marks its 250th anniversary in July, the State Department is preparing to release a limited number of specially designed US passports to commemorate this historic occasion,” said Tommy Piggott, a spokesperson for the US State Department.

How one venture firm is investing in an increasingly fragmented world

Geopolitical turmoil has made venture investing challenging, leading Kompas VC to carve out a niche in startups focused on the physical world.

The world today is riven by cultural differences, political divisions, and geopolitical disputes — a challenging environment for any investor hunting for startups that can grow large enough to deliver venture-scale returns.

Kompas VC has developed a regionally sensitive strategy to help it navigate, and invest in, this fragmented world. And it’s putting fresh capital towards this approach with a new €160 million fund ($187.5 million), the firm told TechCrunch.

“We see the world really falling into three main spheres of economic activity, of political activity — the U.S., Europe, and China,” Sebastian Peck, partner at Kompas VC , told TechCrunch. “We certainly see today that these three domains follow very, very different trajectories.”

Kompas has staked its reputation on backing startups that tackle core industrial competitiveness challenges, from manufacturing and supply chains to critical infrastructure and sustainability. Those themes haven’t disappeared, but different regions emphasize them to varying degrees.

“There was a lot of enthusiasm around these themes back in 2021,” Peck said. “In 2026, we’re in a very, very different paradigm. It’s all about AI, it’s all about fast growth, very explosive growth. A lot of big topics that we partially play to but also are not really part of what we stand for.”

“Our focus is in the physical world, anything around producing physical goods,” he added, saying that Kompas focuses on startups working on decarbonization, productivity, and risk management. “We’ve found our niche.”

How the King and Queen spent their second day in the US

During the White House state dinner, the King gifted the US president a bell from his WW2 submarine namesake, 'HMS Trump'.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla continued their state visit in Washington DC on Tuesday, by meeting members of President Trump's cabinet, before the King gave a speech to both houses of US Congress to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.

It is the first such visit by the reigning monarch to the US since Queen Elizabeth II met President George W Bush in 2007.

The King and Queen will journey to New York City tomorrow, to participate in a memorial service for victims of the 11 September 2001 attacks.

Embiid's 33 downs Celtics, keeps 76ers alive

Joel Embiid helped the 76ers rally from a 13-point, third quarter deficit, holding the Celtics to just 11 points in the final frame of Game 5.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics: Game Highlights (1:33)

BOSTON -- Joel Embiid scored 33 points, Tyrese Maxey had 25 points and 10 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers avoided elimination, beating the Boston Celtics 113-97 in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Tuesday night.

Paul George had 16 points and nine rebounds for the seventh-seeded Sixers, who lost Games 3 and 4 at home to fall behind 3-1 in the series before returning to Boston to keep their season alive.

Game 6 is back in Philadelphia on Thursday night, when the Sixers will try to force the series to a decisive seventh game in Boston on Saturday.

In his second game back from an emergency appendectomy, Embiid helped rally Philly from a 13-point, third-quarter deficit. After scoring 13 points in the second quarter, he added 10 in the third as the Sixers went on a 12-0 run to turn a three-point lead into a 15-point runaway.

Boston ultimately got outscored by 17 in the fourth quarter while missing their last 14 field goal attempts -- the most to end a playoff game since 2005, according to ESPN Research.

Don't nitpick, just marvel at the talent of PSG an...

Tuesday's semifinal was a gift: two teams laden with talent, coached well and given the freedom to entertain.

Craig Burley explains why he's siding with PSG to beat Bayern Munich to the Champions League final. (1:54)

PARIS, FRANCE -- Twenty-four hours earlier, Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique had raised his hand up high to indicate just what dizzying levels his team -- who won the Treble last season, lest we forget -- had reached, adding that PSG were "the best in the world."

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany made no such pronouncements, but maybe he felt he didn't need to. His team are on course for a Treble of their own and had lost just twice all season long.

We all knew that Tuesday's match was going to be a blockbuster. If the European game had a Top 25 poll, like college football, PSG and Bayern would be first and second, in whatever order you prefer.

What we didn't know was that it was going to turn into one of the most epic, back-and-forth slugfests in recent memory, the sort of match that could rival the legendary clash between Manchester United and Real Madrid in 2003 (the Ronaldo hat trick, David Beckham coming off the bench to score twice, Roman Abramovich in the stands deciding then and there that he needed to buy a football club to make his life complete...). In the end, two of the world's best sides delivered a historic performance with PSG edging the Champions League semifinal first leg 5-4 at the Parc des Princes.

Rockets rule out Durant (ankle) for Game 5

The Rockets, again facing elimination, officially ruled out star forward Kevin Durant for Wednesday night's Game 5 against the Lakers because of a left ankle sprain.

Kendrick Perkins doesn't believe Kevin Durant is a desirable player for teams, drawing a shocked reaction from Stephen A. Smith. (2:20)

Durant didn't participate in practice with the Rockets on Tuesday before they left for Los Angeles, trailing 3-1 in the Western Conference first-round series. But he was seen running on an antigravity treadmill as the team wrapped up its work before heading to the airport.

Durant has sat out three games in this series after he didn't play in the opener because of a bruised right knee. He returned for Game 2, scoring 23 points in 41 minutes of the 101-94 loss, during which he injured his ankle late.

The Rockets won Game 4 115-96 to avoid elimination, despite missing their superstar.

Durant's injury problems this postseason came after the 37-year-old ranked second in the league in the regular season by playing 2,840 minutes.

Event Habitat Dex and Pokédex list in Pokémon Pokopia

Pokémon Pokopia has limited-time events that occur for a few days before disappearing, though you can time travel back to them, if you miss out on any. Some events feature Pokémon and habitats you can only unlock via the event, so you'll want to make sure you're paying attention to any guests who are the "talk of the town."

All the habitats that require limited-time items

So far, only two events have special habitats with them, but more will likely be added in the future. You can swap through your regular and event Habitat Dex/Pokédex by using the right trigger on the respective menu.

If you're looking for the regular habitats and Pokédex, check out our Pokopia Habitat Dex list and Pokédex .

Below you can see a complete list of the event habitats that have appeared in the game so far. Note that our list does not include future events, only ones that have passed, to avoid spoilers. You can see a full list of events (including future ones) on our Pokopia event list .

Note that the habitat can be made whenever, as long as you have the required items. If you missed out on the items, but you don't want to time travel, you can always ask a friend with the items to open up their island. If you visit and take a picture of the item, you can use the 3D printer in the Pokémon Center to make things you've missed.

At his OpenAI trial, Musk relitigates an old friendship

It's a story Musk has told before -- in interviews and to author Walter Isaacson for his bestselling biography of Musk -- but Tuesday was the first time he said it under oath.

Among the most interesting parts of Elon Musk’s testimony Tuesday in his lawsuit against OpenAI wasn’t the charity he claims was stolen from him (we all knew that was coming ). It was about an old friend.

Musk testified that one of his core motivations for co-founding OpenAI was a falling out with Google’s Larry Page over AI safety — specifically, a conversation in which Musk raised the prospect of AI wiping out humanity and Page shrugged it off as “fine,” so long as AI itself survived. Page called Musk a “speciest” for being “pro human.” Musk called the attitude “insane.”

That’s mostly notable given how close the two once were. Fortune included them on its 2016 list of secretly best-friend business leaders; Musk was so comfortable with Page that he regularly crashed at his Palo Alto home. Page once told Charlie Rose that he’d rather give his money to Musk than to charity.

The friendship didn’t survive OpenAI. When Musk recruited Google AI star Ilya Sutskever to help launch the company in 2015, Page felt personally betrayed and cut off contact.

Billie Eilish puts Manchester at centre of new 3D concert film

Teaming up with filmmaking giant James Cameron, the superstar creates a unique love letter to her fans.

Singing superstar Billie Eilish and filmmaking giant James Cameron have teamed up to make a new 3D concert movie, documenting her shows in Manchester last year.

Cameron, of Titanic and Avatar fame, filmed Eilish over four nights at the Co-op Live venue during her Hit Me Hard And Soft world tour - the biggest of her career so far.

The outcome is both a thrilling sensory overload and unique love letter to her intense and adoring fans, who are often in tears.

Speaking to the BBC at the film's London premiere, Eilish said her fans in Manchester were "one of my favourite audiences ever... I fricking love Manchester".

Many of those fans travelled to the capital for Tuesday's blue-carpet premiere, hanging out of windows and lining balconies in Leicester Square for a glimpse of her.

"They didn't do that for me!" Cameron laughed when the fans erupted into deafening screams as she arrived.
