In Week 2 of the preseason, the Philadelphia Eagles aren't looking for a game filled with individual highlights. They need evidence of something. They'd like to learn whether the progress they've seen during training camp can carry over from one evaluation period to the next.
Their preseason debut was a snoozer. Another road trip followed, and in the first joint practice vs. the New England Patriots, Mike Vrabel's squad was deemed 'the winners'. Philadelphia took the checkered flag at the end of the second, and that makes Saturday night's second preseason game against the Patriots particularly useful for several players who entered the week with something to prove.
The joint practices provided an opportunity to compete against unfamiliar players in a controlled setting. The game will produce fewer fireworks. Of that, we can be certain, but every opportunity is needed. Philadelphia can show any momentum they gained wasn't simply a product of one good day.
Some pass the first game off by saying, 'It's only the preseason', but players and coaches both stated they want better showings. For some of these Eagles, the stakes are particularly high. A few are competing for roster spots, while others are trying to establish themselves in roles that remain unsettled. Here are six players who have something positive to build on heading into the second preseason game.
Hollywood Brown needed a week like this. After a relatively quiet start to training camp, the veteran receiver found more opportunities with the first-team offense and took advantage of them. That doesn't mean his roster spot is secure, particularly with the Eagles still sorting through the back end of their receiver room, but it does mean Brown has given the organization something to consider.

Didn't have much to do other than to pick the ball out of the back of the net, wasn't particularly accurate with his long kicking today but typically calm with the short stuff.
Actually had a decent debut, kept Maeda quiet and showed good reading of the game to cut out potential breaks. Got forward constantly too.
An all action defensive display but I don't think he ever looked particularly comfortable, on or off the ball.
Generally played well, breaking the lines with passes and some runs when **** e opened up but, unfortunately, the elephant in the room is that he made two similar errors. Lapses of errors when on the ball that let in Enciso for the opening goal, then did it again in the second half and had to drag his man down.
Had his hands full with Fatuwu, who got the better of him a couple of times. Did well to win the ball high up and then pick out Brobbey though, which should have resulted in a goal.

Liverpool appear determined to test Brighton and Hove Albion again over Yankuba Minteh, with the winger emerging as a significant target during the closing stages of the summer transfer window.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are expected to return with another offer after Brighton rejected bids of £50million and £60million for the 22-year-old. The Seagulls are believed to value Minteh at more than £70million, leaving Liverpool with a decision over how far they are prepared to push negotiations.
There is little mystery surrounding the motivation. Liverpool require attacking reinforcements, particularly following Mohamed Salah's departure, and Andoni Iraola has publicly acknowledged that he would like more options.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool's Premier League opener, Iraola explained the difficulties created by starting the season while the transfer window remains open.
"As a manager, this is an easy one for me. I wanted the players for the first day on 13 July – everyone here and all the positions doubled with top-level players," said Iraola.

Anna Paquin is speaking out about the challenges faced by child stars following the death of Hayden Panettiere.
The Oscar-winning actress shared an emotional message on Instagram reflecting on the experiences of young performers, particularly girls who grow up in the entertainment industry.
Paquin, who won an Academy Award at age 11 for The Piano, referenced the deaths of Panettiere, Michelle Trachtenberg and Daveigh Chase, three former child stars who died before reaching age 40.
Without focusing solely on Panettiere, Paquin used the moment to discuss what she described as the dangers of growing up in Hollywood.

Ben Stokes claims the ECB's decision to leave Headingley off the men's Ashes 2027 schedule is "shambolic".
A lack of a northern venue has attracted widespread scrutiny from many inside English cricket.
And former England captain Stokes was left furious with the reality of no Ashes Test in Leeds.
Stokes added, "Great win though," after England's innings-and-103 run thrashing of Pakistan.
The debate comes after England captain Joe Root, admitted it is a "shame" to not see Headingley part of next year's schedule, particularly given the strong home record there.

Former India head coach Rahul Dravid believes Vaibhav Sooryavanshi needs a carefully managed pathway as the 15-year-old begins to make his mark across formats, stressing the importance of giving him enough opportunities in red-ball cricket alongside his white-ball commitments.

Sooryavanshi, who enjoyed a breakthrough IPL season before making his T20I debut in England in June, is now set to return to the longer format with East Zone in the Duleep Trophy.

While the teenager has already attracted significant attention in white-ball cricket, his first-class record remains modest. He averages 17.25 from 12 innings across three stints in the Ranji Trophy Plate League, with his domestic campaigns interrupted by India U19 commitments.

Dravid, who coached Sooryavanshi at Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, said the youngster's exposure to both formats is a positive development.

"I think you always have to find that balance. And I think it is a great thing that Vaibhav is getting the experience of playing some white-ball cricket through the IPL in India, but he is also having the time to go back and play red-ball cricket in the Indian domestic system and grow his red-ball career," Dravid said while speaking to Cricinfo.

The former India batter also highlighted the wider importance of developing players capable of succeeding in Test cricket.

"All of us also want to see Tests survive, all of us want to see Tests grow and we need players like him to be able to hopefully play all formats of the game," Dravid added.

For Sooryavanshi, the Duleep Trophy provides another opportunity to build experience in red-ball cricket. Dravid feels the teenager needs sustained exposure to the format, particularly because he has not played it as regularly as white-ball cricket.

"The good thing is he is going to take some time, he is going to need some experience, he is going to get an opportunity to play a lot of red-ball cricket. He hasn't played as much red-ball cricket as probably white-ball cricket," Dravid said.

The 15-year-old's rapid rise has naturally brought expectations, but Dravid urged everyone to allow him time to develop rather than judge him solely on his early success.

"He is only 15 and I think you have got to just give him some time and you have got to be patient with him. He has obviously been such a success straightaway, right, but he is going to go through his ups and downs and I think people are going to have to be patient with him," Dravid added.

Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif has questioned captain Shubman Gill's use of Kuldeep Yadav in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle, saying the spinner's short spells suggested a lack of faith in him.

Kuldeep bowled only 25 overs across India's two innings in the Test and took one wicket, while left-arm spinner Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja bowled around 44 overs each and shared 14 wickets. India won the Test by 165 runs.

Kaif, speaking on his YouTube channel, said Kuldeep is a rare type of bowler and needs the backing of the captain and team management.

"From how he was used, it is clear that Shubman Gill doesn't have enough faith in Kuldeep Yadav. From my point of view, you would not get a unique bowler like Kuldeep that often. They come just once or twice in history. We may get Ravindra Jadeja's replacement in the future, like we have Suthar; then we had Washington Sundar after Ashwin, but Kuldeep is a unique gift."

Kaif also said wrist-spinners need longer spells to settle into a rhythm and work on their mistakes.

"When you give a bowler a spell, especially a wrist-spinner, you need to give him a long spell. The short spells are not helping Kuldeep. Longer spells give you the chance to rectify mistakes. You need time to get into rhythm. Shubman Gill did not back him in that sense," he said, as quoted by news agency ANI.

Kaif backed former India head coach Ravi Shastri's ******* sment that Kuldeep is India's No. 1 spinner in overseas conditions. He said the left-arm wrist-spinner could be particularly important on flatter pitches where there is less ******* istance from the surface.

"I agree with Ravi Shastri, who said that Kuldeep is our No. 1 spinner in overseas conditions. You just need accuracy on turning tracks. You will somehow get a wicket by bowling at the same area. But you won't get such turning tracks in New Zealand. I feel Kuldeep will play a major role on flat pitches or pitches where there would not be much turn on offer. You will have to keep his confidence high as captain and team management," Kaif said.

India's next Test is in Colombo from August 23, and Kaif believes the team could consider handing a debut to Madhya Pradesh all-rounder Saransh Jain.

He pointed to Sri Lanka's left-handed batters Niroshan ******* wella and Sonal Dinusha, who scored runs in the first Test, as a possible reason for India to consider an off-spinner.

"I feel India might be considering playing Saransh Jain in Colombo. The two batters who scored runs, ******* wella and Sonal, are both lefties. There came a time when Shubman Gill was searching for an off-spinner when they were batting. Because of Sri Lanka's in-form lefties, maybe Kuldeep will have to face the axe. It was Suthar vs Saransh earlier; now it will be Kuldeep vs Saransh," he signed off.

Kuldeep, who made his Test debut in 2018, has played 19 Tests and taken 80 wickets at an average of 23.36. He has four four-wicket hauls and five five-wicket h

Our Get German Football News 2026/27 Bundesliga Tactical Previews series continues with a look at VfB Stuttgart. Oh, Stuttgart. You adorable little red-striped menace. There was a time, not particularly long ago, when the author could approach the VfB section of these previews with a reassuringly familiar collection of questions. Who left? Who needs replacing? How much of Sebastian Hoeneß' latest carefully constructed football machine has the transfer market carried away in several large sacks? Last summer, amid approximately 546,789 Nick Woltemade stories and enough aborted transfer sagas to shorten one's life expectancy, the author eventually concluded that Stuttgart possessed a talented upper-table side but were "plainly NOT ***** le contenders". They responded by finishing fourth and qualifying for the Champions League again. So much for that.
Perhaps one should simply accept what Stuttgart have become. Hoeneß took over a relegation candidate in 2023 and somehow turned the whole operation into one of German football's most reliably entertaining success stories. The Pokal arrived. European football kept arriving. Champions League qualification has now arrived twice. At some point, the cute little comeback story stopped being cute because it kept happening. Unfortunately for everyone else, the club itself remains rather adorable. It helps that Stuttgart possess Deniz Undav, German football's resident clown prince and a man apparently determined to turn every mixed-zone interview into open-mic night. Keep him forever. Always give him a microphone afterward.
In previous summers, Hoeneß' principal task was figuring out how to replace what success had taken away. This time, most of the good stuff is still sitting right there in front of him. The largest tactical problem currently confronting the coach may simply be explaining to several very good professional footballers why eleven remains the maximum number permitted on the pitch. How terribly sad for him.
The author shall now inspect Hoeneß' overflowing toy box and attempt to work out how all the pieces fit.
The pleasant novelty here is that the personnel section does not begin with an autopsy. Stuttgart have retained the spine, secured Undav, and then spent aggressively to make an already strong squad even deeper. That does not mean the summer has been simple. Nübel's departure creates a goalkeeper succession, Pejcinovic and Sauer immediately alter attacking hierarchies, Prömel places pressure on the captain, and late interest in Demirovic and El Khannouss threatens to complicate what otherwise looks like unusually tidy work. Before Hoeneß can begin solving his luxury problems on the pitch, it is worth establishing exactly how many of them the transfer market has created.

For most of Andrei Iosivas' NFL career, there has been something to prove: Prove that a wide receiver from Princeton could play in the NFL; prove that a sixth-round draft pick belonged on the field with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins; and prove that his rare combination of size and athleticism could translate into production against NFL defensive backs.
Three years into his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, Iosivas doesn't sound particularly interested in proving anything anymore. And that may be the best indication yet of how far he's come.
"I just feel like I am flowing and I am playing," Iosivas said in a recent interview. "I'm happy about the way I approach the days. I've been focusing on how I walk into the building, how I get out to practice, and whatever happens, happens."
That's quite a change from the player Cincinnati selected with the 206th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Iosivas arrived in Cincinnati as one of the more intriguing developmental prospects in that draft class. At 6-foot-3 and around 210 pounds, he had the physical traits, but he was making the jump from Ivy League football at Princeton to an offense featuring Joe Burrow, Chase and Higgins.
He has spent the past three seasons showing that he belongs. Iosivas played in 16 games as a rookie and caught 15 passes for 116 yards. Four of those 15 receptions went for touchdowns. His role grew substantially in 2024, when he caught 36 passes for 479 yards and six touchdowns. He followed that with 33 receptions for 435 yards and two scores in 2025.

Girona FC continues to invest in young talent with potential by signing Mauro Furtado. The Portuguese central defender, born in Lisbon on July 30, 2008, joins the red-and-white club and is tied to the Club for the next five seasons, until 2031.
Considered one of the standout prospects in Portuguese football, the 18-year-old Furtado arrives from Benfica, one of the leading academies in European football. Fully trained at the Lisbon-based club, he stood out from a young age for his physical attributes, competitive maturity, and leadership ability in the defensive line. His constant growth led him to sign his first professional contract with Benfica in the summer of 2024.
At the international level, Mauro Furtado has established himself as a key player in the youth categories of the Portuguese national team. With Portugal's U-17 team, he experienced a particularly successful period, participating in winning the European Championship in the category and later in the historic victory at the U-17 World Cup. During the U-17 World Cup, the Portuguese central defender was one of the defensive pillars of the Portuguese team. His defensive solidity was crucial for Portugal to lift the world ******* le for the first time in its history. His performances earned him notable individual accolades, being named the best player of the match in both the semifinals and the final, and receiving the Bronze Ball of the tournament, recognizing him as the third-best player of the competition.
Mauro stands out for his defensive strength, good positioning, ability to anticipate opponents, and remarkable quality in ball distribution. Despite his youth, he has demonstrated personality and competitive maturity in high-level international settings.
With his arrival, Girona adds a player with enormous growth potential and great future prospects, further reinforcing the Club's commitment to developing young talents with the potential to continue evolving within the red-and-white structure.

The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered their first defeat of the 2026 preseason on Friday night, falling 34-17 to the Carolina Panthers at EverBank Stadium.
With Liam Coen once again choosing to rest virtually all of his established starters, this was primarily an opportunity for Jacksonville's depth players to stake their claim for roster spots. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, too many of those players failed to make the most of their opportunity.
Here are three reasons why Jacksonville came up short.
Perhaps the biggest issue was simply the number of mistakes Jacksonville made.
The Jaguars committed nine penalties for 60 yards in the first half alone, while also giving the ball away twice during the game. That included Carter Bradley's second-quarter interception, which proved particularly costly.

For the second straight preseason contest, the Carolina Panthers decided to roll out their starters for a little action. But not all of the first-stringers got out on the field at EverBank Stadium on Friday.
Outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips, inside linebacker Devin Lloyd and wide receiver Xavier Legette were among the 12 Panthers who were ruled out prior to kickoff against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Dave Canales, following his team's 34-17 win, would explain why.
"There were a few guys who had some soreness. We were gonna be sensitive with some of those guys—particularly Jaelan Phillips, Devin Lloyd," Canales told reporters. "Felt great finishing after the [joint] practice, but had a couple of other things sore. We just decided to hold them out."
Canales was then asked about Legette—who, along with his civilians, was sporting a boot on his right foot.
"He got his ankle twisted up. He has some soreness in his foot," he replied. "So, we evaluated him. Right now, we're just gonna get him back going little by little. And hopefully, we'll see him at the end of this week.

The summer of 2026 saw a wave of movement across the NBA. As multiple stars changed teams, some teams changed owners in what has been a transformative period. For Lakers guard Bronny James, however, it's just another typical summer.
With the young guard currently with his team at Luka Doncic's basketball minicamp, he seems completely unfazed by recent events, particularly the departure of his dad, LeBron. When asked about it by a fan, James Jr. shrugged it off, reminding him that he has access to the King anytime he wants.
Bronny, 21, was drafted 55th overall in 2024. Coming from USC, Bronny had some college experience, but it was heavily limited due to a cardiac arrest he suffered before his Freshman year. Nevertheless, Bronny worked hard to return to action and regain his strength, earning a spot on the Lakers alongside his dad, LeBron.
Together, the pair made history as the first father-son duo in NBA history. It was a dream come true for both father and son, who shared plenty of special moments on the court. For Bronny, in particular, the experience helped build his confidence, develop his game, and ensure a comfortable transition to professional basketball.
So when LeBron suddenly left the Lakers this summer, it raised many questions about Bronny's future. Initially, some thought he might be cut, while others speculated that he would follow LeBron to his next NBA team. As it would turn out, though, neither is the case. Even with LeBron set to suit up in Philadelphia next season, Bronny remains committed to the Lakers, as he's proving with his attendance at Luka's minicamp.

The Houston Astros are once again playing it safe with Jeremy Peña, who is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Athletics. At this point in the MLB season, all of these decisions are magnified, though.
The shortstop suffered a right-hand contusion after being hit by a 100 mph pitch earlier this week, and while he is comfortable enough to play defense, he still isn't ready to fully swing the bat.

Peña's latest absence is more about his comfort level while hitting than any major structural injury. An MRI revealed no structural damage to his hand, but there is still swelling and soreness, particularly when he swings the bat.

The Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch was reportedly handed three dinner checks by tight end Kyle Pitts and his new teammates after the team's offense went out to eat.
The bill came to roughly $35,000, which Branch was supposedly made to pay as part of an NFL tradition for rookies. While it may be a harmless joke in the locker room, it has drawn plenty of criticism from fans online.
Rookie dinners have been a part of the NFL for decades, with first-year players often expected to treat their veteran teammates to an expensive meal. The tradition is generally seen by players as a form of team bonding, although its critics have questioned whether it crosses the line into hazing.
The dinners have produced some eye-popping bills over the years. Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant reportedly faced a $55,000 tab during his rookie season in 2010, while other NFL rookies have also shared five-figure bills from their initiation dinners.
The practice has divided former players in the past as well. Some have defended the dinners as a natural part of joining an NFL locker room, while others have argued that young players, particularly those still learning how to manage their finances, shouldn't be encouraged to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a single meal.

Rafael Devers returned to Fenway Park on Friday for the first time since the Boston Red Sox traded him to the San Francisco Giants in June 2025.
Since Devers' relationship with the Red Sox, particularly with chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, didn't end particularly well, it could be reasonably ******* umed that fans might not greet the three-time All-Star warmly.
But he received a mixed reaction from the Fenway crowd with boos largely overpowering cheers during pregame introductions and when he took his first at-bat. Batting second in the Giants' lineup, Devers struck out looking on four pitches from Boston starter Sonny Gray.
Resentments understandably linger after Devers was traded largely because of the tension he created by refusing to move from third base to designated hitter when Boston signed Alex Bregman as a free agent. But with Bregman being a far superior defensive player, Devers eventually ceded and played at DH.
However, the possibility of switching positions came up again when first baseman Triston Casas ruptured his patellar tendon and the Red Sox needed someone to replace him at the position. Devers seemed a natural fit as a defensively challenged slugger. But he balked at being asked again to play another position during the season.

Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth has never viewed the four-year age difference between herself and husband Austin Forsyth as particularly dramatic, but she understands why it can look different when their relationship is viewed through the ages they were when it began.
The former Counting On star, now 28, revisited her relationship with Austin, 32, during the Aug. 19 episode of her sister Jinger Vuolo's Jinger & Jeremy Podcast. The sisters compared their own marriages and talked about how marrying young shaped the way those age differences felt at the time.
Joy-Anna and Austin first crossed paths as children, when she was about 4 and he was 8. Their families later saw less of one another before reconnecting, and Joy-Anna said she began "crushing hard" on him around age 14, according to PEOPLE's account of the conversation.
Their romantic relationship developed years later, shortly before she turned 18, and they ultimately married in May 2017 when she was 19 and he was 23.
Jinger pointed out that she actually has a larger age difference with her own husband, Jeremy Vuolo, than Joy-Anna has with Austin. Still, the four years separating her sister and brother-in-law always felt more significant to her because she remembered how young Joy-Anna was when the relationship became serious.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may have come unusually close to another post-divorce encounter in Los Angeles, but there is no evidence yet that the former spouses actually spent time together.
Both were photographed at the same West Hollywood office building on Aug. 20. Just Jared reported that Lopez and Affleck were each seen leaving the building that day, creating the possibility that their visits overlapped.
One detail made the timing particularly noticeable. Photographers noted that Affleck's purple Cadillac was parked nearby when Lopez arrived and would have been clearly visible to her.
They had a remarkably similar office-building overlap while separated in 2024 and later reunited publicly for a movie they were both professionally involved in.
The Aug. 20 photographs establish that Lopez and Affleck were at the same West Hollywood office complex during the same general period. They do not show the two arriving together, leaving together or interacting inside or outside the building.

A Bloomberg report on August 18 revealed that BP plc (NYSE:BP) has become the latest foreign company to enter the Venezuelan oil trade, with the tanker Monte Lema loading 400,000 barrels of heavy fuel oil for the British energy giant. The oil is being supplied by the state-owned PDVSA. The strategic move places BP among a select group of companies, including trading giants Trafigura and Vitol, with direct access to Venezuelan oil.
The development comes a few days after it was announced that the London-based company would partner with two other firms to develop the second phase of the Loran gasfield, in one of the first large-scale foreign investments in the South American country since the ouster of Nicolás Maduro earlier this year. That said, while the consortium has secured the official exploration and production license, the project remains in the pre-FID phase.
The developments come after President Trump called for global oil companies to invest in Venezuela and help restore and modernize its dilapidated oil infrastructure. The South American nation is sitting on the largest proven crude oil reserves in the world, accounting for roughly 17% of the global total. However, the oil-rich country's government nationalized major heavy oil projects in 2007, forcing foreign operators into minority stakes or outright seizing their **** ets.
As a relatively early mover, BP plc (NYSE:BP) stands to gain a lot from a gradual revival of Venezuelan oil output. The company appears to be positioning itself across multiple areas of Venezuela's energy value chain – from exploration to production, to trading and international marketing. It means that the energy giant could benefit from the country in many ways as it reconnects with global energy markets.
Moreover, BP's entry into the Venezuelan oil trade could give it an opportunity to capture trading margins in addition to upstream earnings. This could be particularly beneficial for the company as it could potentially leverage its already existing refining, marketing, shipping, and trading infrastructure in the region. Although Trafigura and Vitol have an early foothold in Venezuela's oil trading business, BP's large integrated energy business gives it a significant competitive edge.

Megyn Kelly has shared a sharp five-word reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's latest move. After six years in Montecito, California, the Duke and ****** ss of Sussex are reportedly preparing to return to the UK. Their decision has already sparked plenty of discussion on both sides of the Atlantic, with commentators and the public weighing in on the Sussexes' next chapter.
Megyn Kelly devoted much of her Thursday podcast to celebrating Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's high-profile exit from the US.
During the August 20 episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show," Kelly discussed the Sussexes' decision to move back to the UK at length. She called their return the top story of the year and spent nearly six minutes praising what she described as their "self-deportations," per The Wrap.
"Two important self-deportations that can unite all of America. This is the first thing we've been able to agree upon in over a decade. Meghan and Harry are leaving. Praise Jesus! They're going. Get back to the U.K," the host said.
She upped the ante with a particularly biting five-word reaction before going even more ballistic, telling the couple, "Go become somebody else's problem."

Fans are remembering Hayden Panettiere on what would have been her 37th birthday. The date appears to have made her death feel even more painful, with many reflecting on her career, personal struggles, and lasting impact.
Adding to the heartbreak, Panettiere had reportedly planned to spend her birthday week with her daughter, Kaya, and had been eagerly looking forward to their reunion.
Fans are remembering Hayden Panettiere on what would have been her 37th birthday, just days after her death. A Reddit post marking the late actress' August 21 birthday quickly drew more than 1,500 upvotes as users shared their grief and memories of growing up watching her.
"She should still be here," one person wrote, adding that the timing of Panettiere's death made the milestone especially painful. Another admitted the loss had hit harder than expected, while a "Heroes" fan said it felt as though "a part of my childhood has gone."

Prince William reportedly intends to remain "silent" amid Prince Harry's rumored UK return. Multiple media outlets have reported that the Sussexes will be returning to the UK by the end of this month. They will reportedly reside in a private, non-royal home. People are eager to see if the feuding brothers patch things up. However, based on new reports, it seems like the Prince of Wales is furious and not interested in talking to his brother.
Prince William has reportedly vowed to be "silent" as Prince Harry plots his rumored UK return by the end of the month. Sources attached to Radar Online revealed that William remains "deeply hurt" by Harry and Meghan's constant attacks on the royal family, particularly his wife, Kate Middleton.
A source revealed: "William has made it clear that Harry returning to Britain does not mean they are suddenly brothers again in any meaningful sense. His position is that he has nothing to say to Harry, and he has vowed he will not be drawn into meetings simply because Harry is living in the country again."
The source also added: "There is still enormous anger on William's part over what was said about Catherine and the family. William sees protecting his wife and children as his priority. Charles may want reconciliation with his younger son, but William is nowhere near that point and doesn't intend to pretend otherwise." The Prince of Wales has, in fact, vowed to himself not to speak to the Sussexes or engage in any communication with them.
The Sussexes met King Charles and Queen Camilla at the monarch's private residence, Highgrove House, on July 10. The king was reportedly keen on seeing his grandchildren after four years, and it was a private reunion. Notably, the Waleses were absent from the private reunion. William preferred to attend his annual charity polo match in Windsor with his wife, Kate Middleton.

Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly traveled to their Scottish residence amid news of the Sussexes' planned UK return. A source claimed that the Prince and Princess of Wales are not "delighted" by Prince Harry's latest move, suggesting it could be difficult for them to see the Sussexes return to the public eye while their relationship remains strained beyond repair.
Prince William and Kate Middleton joined King Charles at Balmoral with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The Waleses traditionally visit the Scottish residence each year, but it remains unclear how long they will stay this time. Their visit comes amid reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to spend an extended period in the UK.
HELLO!'s royal editor Emily Nash discussed the Waleses' reported reaction to the Sussexes' return on the A Right Royal Podcast. She suggested that Prince William and Kate Middleton may not be particularly pleased by the prospect.
She explained, "Well, what is intriguing about this is the complete radio silence coming from that end of the spectrum. And what's interesting about it is that they're normally away at this time of year. I imagine they're not delighted about this."
Reflecting on the deeply strained relationship between the two couples, Nash added, "It's going to be a very, very difficult hill to climb, having them suddenly back in the UK, popping up, doing things publicly, if that's where they go with this. So much has been said and done that has damaged that relationship, almost beyond repair."

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) stock is down roughly 20% from its all-time highs in June, a pullback driven by a mix of lofty AI expectations, a high valuation multiple, broader market pressures, the Mediatek-driven narrative, and more recently, Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVL). Despite the drop, TD Cowen ***** yst Joshua Buchalter recently reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $500.00 price target.
TD Cowen remains confident in Broadcom's trajectory ahead of the print, and the numbers justify the optimism. Q2 2026 saw semiconductor revenue from AI of $10.8 billion growing 143% year-over-year, above the company's forecast, backed by increasing demand for custom AI accelerators and AI networking.
The company forecasts semiconductor revenue from AI to grow over 200 percent year-over-year to $16.0 billion. Its massive $30 billion in AI semiconductor bookings is also a reflection of the intense demand for their AI solutions.
Management has reiterated its line of sight to more than $100 billion of fiscal 2027 AI semiconductor revenue, a figure that could see material upside if the roughly 10GW opportunity is deployed. This implies that even the $100b could prove conservative.
The firm is also particularly confident about the trajectory of TPU, backed by Google's capital expenditure commentary. Back in April, the company signed a long-term agreement with Google to develop and ‌supply future generations of custom artificial intelligence chips and components for its next-generation AI racks through 2031.

Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) is the most valuable healthcare stock on the U.S. markets, with a valuation north of $1.1 trillion. **** e Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ: SPCX), also known as **** eX, is worth significantly more at $1.8 trillion.
There is, however, a substantial disconnect in value. Eli Lilly's strong growth, financials, and dominance in the GLP-1 **** e justify the stock's rising value over the years. **** eX, however, is fueled mainly by hype and long-term expectations. The overall business is deeply unprofitable.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The stocks could be heading in different directions from here on out. Could Eli Lilly become more valuable than **** eX by the end of 2026?
Although **** eX stock has only been trading publicly for a couple of months, it's already been highly volatile. It's bounced off lows of around $104 that it hit a few weeks ago, when the panic around its lockup expiration appeared to rattle the **** e stock. But with the company still generating significant losses and its cash burn potentially accelerating in future periods, another disappointing quarter later in the year could send it back into a free fall. Plus, there may still be a wave of insider selling that drags the stock lower. That may happen, particularly if the markets appear shaky later on.
