Top stories you shouldn’t miss

One of the standout moments was India’s Preethi Pal clinching bronze in the women’s T35 100m at the Paris Paralympics — a personal best and a historic first for India in Paralympic track events. The Olympics and Paralympics dominated several days, with pieces on breaking’s Olympic debut, Noah Lyles moving to the 100m semifinals, and Victor Wembanyama helping France to silver in the basketball final.

On football, the transfer market and big matches filled our coverage. Chelsea completed a ₤100m deal for João Félix and pursued further signings while dealing with injuries ahead of Conference League play-offs. Liverpool’s transfer interest in Federico Chiesa and team news from Real Madrid and Mallorca also made headlines. We tracked Vinicius Jr.’s contract extension and match previews so you know who’s moving and who’s available for big games.

Politics and legal news brought sharp developments. Peter Obi urged caution around allegations involving the Nigeria Labour Congress, Floyd Shivambu’s exit reshaped conversations inside the EFF, and Cleophas Malala’s removal exposed internal rifts in Kenyan party politics. In the US, Wesley Bell’s primary win over Cori Bush sparked wide discussion.

Culture, entertainment and social features

Music and entertainment had a busy month. Fireboy DML released his album adedamola, showing creative growth. Bel-Air’s Season 3 trailer teased big twists, and Vybz Kartel’s post-prison health and comeback story caught attention. In Nollywood, Ini Edo lost a legal battle over the rights to Shanty Town, a ruling with clear copyright implications.

We also ran practical and cultural pieces: a Raksha Bandhan 2024 guide with wishes and images for social sharing, and match-day live stream info for high-profile fixtures like Al Nassr vs Al Taawoun where Cristiano Ronaldo’s return was in focus.
