Delap, making his return from injury, was sent off for two reckless challenges within seven minutes, leaving Chelsea to cling on with 10 men. It marked the Blues’ sixth red card…
A rare spider believed to be extinct in the UK has been found alive on the Isle of Wight after 40 years.

New UN analysis shows climate plans from more than 60 countries would cut emissions by only 10% by 2035—just one-sixth of what’s needed to limit global heating to 1.5C.

The findings come ahead of Cop30 in Brazil next month, where world leaders will discuss how to close the gap between promises and action. Experts warned that…
