Kremlin Affirms Greenland Belongs to Denmark Amid Arctic Dispute
Kremlin Affirms Greenland Belongs to Denmark Amid Arctic Dispute
Politics
What’s Happening?
Amid rising talks about the future of Greenland, Russia has publicly said that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and should remain so under current international law. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow recognises Greenland’s legal status as Danish territory, calling the situation “very controversial” because of recent international debate around the island’s sovereignty and security.
Greenland is a large Arctic island with a small population that governs many of its own affairs but is still part of Denmark, a country in northern Europe. Peskov’s comments come as the United States, under President Donald Trump, has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, saying it is strategically important for national defence and future resources.
Why is it Important?
This matters because it shows how countries can take public positions on global issues—even when they aren’t directly involved—and how international law and diplomacy play a role in global security debates. Greenland’s location in the Arctic makes it strategically important for global military and climate interests, and it has become a focal point in discussions about defence, alliances, and natural resources.
When major powers like Russia publicly support what Denmark and Greenland have said about sovereignty, it reinforces existing international rules and pressures others to work through peaceful negotiation instead of confrontation.

Weston Continues Dominance With Third Consecutive World Cup Crown
Weston Continues Dominance With Third Consecutive World Cup Crown
Sports
What’s Happening?
Skeleton racer Matt Weston has won his third straight overall Skeleton World Cup title, extending his incredible run at the top of the sport and doing it ahead of the big Games this year. Weston’s consistency down icy tracks around the world helped him collect the most points across the season, and now he’s heading into the biggest competition of 2026 with serious momentum.
Skeleton is one of the coolest winter sports: athletes lie face-down on tiny sleds and hurtle head-first down ice tracks at speeds over 80 miles per hour, steering with subtle shifts of body weight and nerves of steel. Weston’s smooth lines, sharp reactions, and fearless style helped him dominate races throughout the season and outpace other top competitors.
Why is it Important?
Winning three in a row at the World Cup overall standings is a big deal. It shows not just raw speed on one track, but incredible consistency, focus, and resilience across an entire season. World Cup points are earned at dozens of races in different countries and track conditions, so taking the overall title means Weston has mastered different ice, weather, and pressure situations.
His journey also shows that winter sports don’t just happen at the Games themselves: they’re built over years of effort and races around the world. With the major Games coming up later in 2026, Weston’s three-peat sets him up as one of the riders to watch, and puts skeleton more firmly in the spotlight for winter sports fans everywhere.

ChatGPT Starts U.S. Ad Tests as OpenAI Expands Go Subscription
ChatGPT Starts U.S. Ad Tests as OpenAI Expands Go Subscription

What’s Happening?
OpenAI has announced that it will begin testing advertisements inside ChatGPT in the United States in the coming weeks. These ads won’t be part of paid subscriptions like ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Enterprise but they will appear for people using the free version of ChatGPT and the new ChatGPT Go plan. OpenAI also says that ads won’t be shown for sensitive topics like health, mental health, or political discussions, and users under 18 won’t see ads at all.
The ads are planned to show up below the chatbot’s responses when there’s a relevant product, service, or sponsored suggestion connected to the user’s conversation. They will be clearly marked as ads and separated from the chatbot’s usual answer, and OpenAI says they will not influence or change the answers ChatGPT gives you.
Why is it Important?
This is a big shift for ChatGPT, because the AI tool has mostly been funded through subscriptions and investments, not advertising, since it launched. Testing ads could help OpenAI make more money to support its huge computing and AI development costs, and it might help keep basic features free for millions of users.
But OpenAI is trying to balance money needs with user experience, saying that ads should be relevant, respectful, and never interfere with the AI’s answers. This move also highlights how companies think about privacy and fairness when personal conversations are involved. OpenAI’s promise not to sell chats to advertisers and to keep ads away from sensitive topics is part of a wider conversation about how technology companies should handle private data in the age of AI.

China Uncovers Six New Discoveries That Rewrite Ancient History
China Uncovers Six New Discoveries That Rewrite Ancient History
History
What’s Happening?
China has just shared six exciting archaeological discoveries that use modern science to uncover secrets from thousands of years ago. Announced in Beijing, these findings help historians better understand how ancient Chinese civilizations lived, worked, farmed, fought, and adapted to nature.
One big highlight is a massive animal specimen library holding over 100,000 ancient and modern animal bones, including the earliest known domesticated dogs and pigs in China. Archaeologists also restored a gilded bronze suit of armor from a Tang Dynasty tomb found in Qinghai. Using high-tech research tools, they dated a fabric fragment from the tomb to before 750 AD, proving that China was one of the world’s earliest creators of ikat dyeing, a complex textile technique still used today.
Why is it Important?
These discoveries show that ancient people in China were not just trying to survive day by day, they were thinking ahead, experimenting, and solving big problems. By domesticating animals like dogs and pigs, early communities created stable food systems that helped towns and civilizations grow.
The discovery of advanced armor and textile techniques proves that people over a thousand years ago already understood design, protection, and beauty. The early use of ikat dyeing shows that fashion and craftsmanship were important parts of culture, not just luxury. Together, these discoveries remind us that many of today’s ideas about technology, sustainability, and innovation have roots deep in the past and that ancient knowledge can still guide the future.
