Antoine Griezmann Signs for Orlando City

📰 Full Story

Antoine Griezmann will join Major League Soccer side Orlando City when the MLS secondary transfer window opens in July 2026, the clubs announced on March 24. The 35-year-old World Cup winner and AtlĂ©tico Madrid all‑time leading scorer has signed a deal running through the 2027‑28 season with an option for 2028‑29 and will occupy a Designated Player slot. Griezmann flew to Florida to finalise terms but will finish the 2025‑26 season with AtlĂ©tico, who face Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final on April 18 and have a Champions League quarter‑final against Barcelona. Orlando have said financial details were not disclosed; adding Griezmann will require roster moves to free a DP slot or use allocation money. The signing comes as Orlando sit low in the MLS Eastern Conference early in the 2026 season and have already replaced manager Óscar Pareja, underscoring both sporting and commercial motives for the transfer. Across his career Griezmann has over a decade at AtlĂ©tico and spells at Real Sociedad and Barcelona, with more than 200 goals for AtlĂ©tico and 44 goals in 137 caps for France before retiring from internationals in 2024.

Miley Cyrus returns for Hannah Montana 20th special

📰 Full Story

Miley Cyrus marked the 20th anniversary of Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana with a one-hour Disney+ special that premiered March 24, 2026, following a Los Angeles red‑carpet screening at the El Capitan Theatre on March 23. Filmed in front of a live audience on a reconstructed Hannah Montana set, the program combined archival footage, a sit‑down interview with podcast host Alex Cooper, and several musical numbers — including performances of “Best of Both Worlds,” “This Is the Life,” “The Climb” and a new song, “Younger You.” Guest appearances included Selena Gomez, Chappell Roan and Cyrus’s father Billy Ray Cyrus; some original cast members were absent from the special itself but attended the premiere. Disney invited superfans to a concert taping in February and the anniversary event also featured fashion and merchandising tie‑ins tied to the Hannah brand. The special is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, and was accompanied by extensive media and fashion coverage that highlighted Cyrus’s stylistic nods to her Hannah era.

Married At First Sight's Mel Schilling Dies Aged 54

📰 Full Story

Mel Schilling, the Australian psychologist and long‑running relationship expert on Married At First Sight in both Australia and the UK, has died at age 54, her husband Gareth Brisbane announced on Instagram on March 24, 2026. Brisbane said Schilling "passed away peacefully...surrounded by love" and described a final whispered message to him and their daughter Maddie. Schilling was first diagnosed with colon cancer in December 2023; after surgery and chemotherapy the disease recurred and metastasised to her lungs in 2024 and, later, to her brain. She underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy while continuing to work and revealed on March 12 that doctors had told her there were no further treatment options. Broadcasters and colleagues paid tribute, with Channel 4 and Australia’s Nine issuing statements and fellow expert John Aiken and podcast co‑host Elizabeth Day among many public mourners. Schilling had stepped back from the Australian panel after 12 seasons; Channel 4 confirmed Aiken will assist with the UK series. Funeral arrangements have not been announced.

Air Canada Jet Collides With Fire Truck at LaGuardia

📰 Full Story

Late on the night of March 22, 2026, an Air Canada Express regional jet (Flight 8646), a Bombardier CRJ-900 operated by Jazz Aviation, struck a Port Authority Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle while landing on Runway 4 at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The collision, at about 11:40 p.m. ET, killed the plane’s pilot and co‑pilot and injured dozens. Port Authority officials said 41 people were taken to hospitals, 32 were later released and nine remained in serious condition. Audio from air traffic control indicates the fire truck had been cleared to cross the runway — responding to a separate United Airlines report of an odor onboard — and that a controller then urgently ordered the vehicle to stop seconds before impact. Flightradar24 data placed groundspeed at roughly 24 mph (39 kph) at the moment of collision. The National Transportation Safety Board has launched a full investigation with FAA support; the Port Authority and Jazz Aviation are cooperating. LaGuardia was closed and subject to a ground stop until at least 2 p.m. Monday, triggering hundreds of cancellations and widespread travel disruption across the Northeast U.S.

Audio and user accounts indicate the truck was on an emergency response when a controller, juggling multiple tasks, cleared it to cross and then realized the mistake. Commenters emphasize systemic ATC understaffing and correct false claims that certified controllers were broadly fired.

Golders Green ambulances torched; Iran link probed

📰 Full Story

Four ambulances belonging to Jewish volunteer service Hatzola were set alight in Golders Green, north‑west London, in the early hours of Monday, leaving the vehicles gutted and nearby windows blown out after oxygen canisters exploded. CCTV shows three hooded suspects pouring accelerant before fleeing; no injuries were reported. The Metropolitan Police say the attack is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime but is being led by counter‑terrorism officers while they authenticate an online claim of responsibility from a little‑known group calling itself Harakat Ashab al‑Yamin al‑Islamia (HAYI). Israeli officials and some analysts say HAYI has suspected links to Iran or Iran‑aligned networks, a line of inquiry UK investigators are pursuing alongside other leads. Police announced extra protective deployments — including 264 additional officers and highly visible armed patrols — and the government is funding temporary replacement ambulances while public fundraising has raised more than £1.3m for Hatzola. The Community Security Trust said King Charles has accepted its patronage; political figures urged tougher measures, including moves to proscribe Iran’s IRGC, as the investigation continues.

Trump Administration Pays $1bn To Cancel Offshore Wind

Trump Administration Pays $1bn To Cancel Offshore Wind

📰 Full Story

The U.S. Department of the Interior announced on March 23 that the Trump administration will reimburse French energy major TotalEnergies roughly $928 million (reported as nearly $1 billion) to relinquish two Atlantic offshore wind leases — the 3 GW New York Bight (Attentive Energy) and the 1 GW Carolina Long Bay areas. The agreement, unveiled at the CERAWeek conference in Houston by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and TotalEnergies CEO Patrick PouyannĂ©, requires the company to commit equivalent investment in U.S. oil, gas and LNG projects before being reimbursed. TotalEnergies has said it will redirect the funds to develop four trains at the Rio Grande LNG facility in Texas and to expand upstream oil and shale gas activity in the Gulf and elsewhere. As part of the settlement the company pledged not to pursue new U.S. offshore wind developments. The move follows a year of federal stop-work orders and litigation over East Coast wind projects; several targeted farms have since resumed construction and one has begun delivering power. State officials, renewable trade groups and environmentalists condemned the payout as a misuse of taxpayer money that undermines clean-energy capacity and regional decarbonisation plans.

The main correction is that the payment is a reimbursement for leases already purchased, but the bigger consequence is the shift away from offshore wind and toward fossil fuels. That means the deal is still highly controversial, yet the financial mechanics are more nuanced than the headline suggests.
