German authorities say four people remain missing and two have been rescued. Verity was headed from Bremen, Germany, to the English port of Immingham. The other ship, the Bahamas-flagged Polesie, remained afloat with 22 people on board. A P&O crusie called the Iona which was travelling from Hamburg is helping with the urgent rescue mission as German officials confirmed te According to reports, people on board were panicked when there was an announcement at 6am this morning alerting customers to the incident. A spokesperson for P&O Cruises said: “P&O Cruises Iona is currently involved in a search and rescue operation off the coast of Germany. “The incident is ongoing and Iona’s cooperation complies with international maritime law as well as being consistent with the company’s moral and legal obligations.” The emergency command said one person was rescued from the water and was being given medical treatment.

Sleeping on yellow stained pillows leaves the internet divided
We all have our comforts to get the best sleep possible, but it turns out a yellow-stained pillow is a staple for a lot of men and it's sparked a debate online. A photo of a yellow-stained pillow from Getty Images went viral went it was posted to Twitter/X by user Cam Thomson (@largemotorcycle). "Gf is mad at me because I have revealed to her The Yellow Pillow. Fellas, i’m sure you all know that this thing is magic," he wrote in the caption. He added in a follow-up tweet: "It’s not my fault the pillow is yellow and bestows upon me the most peaceful slumber." “To me, it’s my most comfortable pillow and a sign of a well-loved item,” Thomson told NBC News, but it has since been "tucked away in storage," as his girlfriend wanted him to throw it away. The tweet quickly began to do numbers, receiving 4.5m views, and over 63,000 likes and prompting a discussion where it there was an apparent gender divide as men were particularly attached to their yellow pillows from their childhood which apparently "give[s] you the best sleep of your life." "Part of being a man is using the same pillow since the age of 10 and never washing it," one person wrote. While another person said: "My life has been a downward spiral since I threw away mine when I was like 23." "I got rid of my yellow pillows maybe a year ago and I legit haven't rested comfortably since," someone else added. A fourth person commented: "Women will never understand the male attachment to their yellow pillow." While the women aren't exactly fans of the yellow pillows and make it known in the discourse. One person wrote: "If you go to his house and see these leave." "Yuck. This is just like my husband’s pillow. He calls it “seasoning," another person said. Someone else added: "Why do all men have a yellow pillow. WASH IT" As this debate roars on, the real question is... why do pillows turn yellow in the first place? It's all to do with the accumulation of moisture such as sweat, drool, wet hair, and even skincare products, according to Sleep Foundation. But a yellow pillow could also hinder your sleep due to the presence of allergens where things such as dust mites, and mildew build up in the pillow and cause allergic reactions. Your skin may also break out when using a yellow pillow due to the bacterial buildup on the surface you rest your head on each night. It is recommended that pillows should be replaced in one to two years or sooner if they begin to discolour.

Sandro Tonali trains with Newcastle team amid betting investigation in Italy
Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali trained with his team-mates on Tuesday morning amid speculation that an investigation into breaches of betting rules was close to reaching a conclusion. Reports from Italy have suggested the 23-year-old former AC Milan player could learn his fate before Wednesday night’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund at St James’ Park, with some predicting a lengthy ban. However, the Italy international was among the group which trained at the club’s Darsley Park training headquarters as they completed their preparations for the Group F fixture under grey skies and incessant rain. Tonali’s representatives reportedly spent Monday in discussions with prosecutors, who launched an investigation while he was away on international duty earlier this month. He and compatriot Nicolo Zaniolo, currently on loan at Aston Villa from Galatasaray, are subject to a probe by the Italian Prosecutor’s Office and Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in relation to illegal betting activity. Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Riso had claimed the player was living with a “gambling addiction” and if breaches were found to have taken place, he could face many months on the sidelines. The midfielder, who joined the Magpies in a £55million summer move from Milan, is accused of placing bets on the Rossoneri and former club Brescia during his time with them. He has made 11 appearances to date for Newcastle, including a start in the 4-1 Champions League victory over Paris St Germain earlier this month.

Surprise discovery shows major feature on Jupiter that experts had previously missed
Despite being by far the largest planet in the solar system, experts are still making surprise discoveries about Jupiter. The planet is only beaten in size by the Sun and as technology has evolved, scientists have sent multiple probes to investigate Jupiter. Despite all the scientific work that has gone into investigating the stripes and swirls that give Jupiters its well-known appearance, experts have only just discovered the existence of a high-speed jetstream above the clouds around the planet’s equator. The jetstream is a whopping 3,000 miles wide and was discovered thanks to the infrared data gathered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) currently orbiting the Sun. Its discovery is giving experts an insight into how the planet’s atmosphere works, as well as its ill-understood weather phenomena. Ricardo Hueso from the University of the Basque Country in Spain is the lead author of the study, published in Nature Astronomy and explained: “This is something that totally surprised us.” He added: “What we have always seen as blurred hazes in Jupiter’s atmosphere now appear as crisp features that we can track along with the planet’s fast rotation.” Scientists have long been aware of light and dark clouds that are known as zones and belts that travel around the planet in different directions and at differing altitudes, but how this occurs has left them baffled. Analysis of the data collected by the JWST revealed the jetstream that was previously only just visible but very hazy. Data confirmed that it sits around 25 miles above the clouds and travels around Jupiter’s equator at around 515 kilometres per hour (320 mph). The researchers compared their data with that collected from the Hubble’s observations of the lower cloud levels and concluded that the jetstream may form part of a weather pattern. Planetary scientist Leigh Fletcher from the University of Leicester, explained: “Jupiter has a complicated but repeatable pattern of winds and temperatures in its equatorial stratosphere, high above the winds in the clouds and hazes measured at these wavelengths.” He added: “If the strength of this new jet is connected to this oscillating stratospheric pattern, we might expect the jet to vary considerably over the next two to four years – it'll be really exciting to test this theory in the years to come.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.
