Spurs boss Postecoglou ‘not losing sleep’ over star striker Harry Kane’s future
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou told reporters he isn’t “losing sleep” over Harry Kane’s future. The club’s star striker is set to return from his holiday later this week, and only once he’s back in training will Postecoglou look to address Kane’s situation. “He’ll be here in two days’ time and everything I need to know will be sitting in front of me,” Postecoglou explained. “In the meantime, I’m not going to lose time or sleep on what conjecture may or may not be out there, because then you’re jumping at shadows. How much of it is true, how much of it is not true.”

Greenpeace activists dump ton of algae outside French government HQ in factory farm protest
Greenpeace activists in France dumped nearly a ton of green algae outside the Finistere administrative headquarters in Quimper, Brittany on Monday, in protest over the amount of green algae off the coast caused by industrial and factory farming. Calling for an end to the construction of industrial cattle farms in the region, members of the environmental group unfurled banners reading “Green algae: asphyxiated Brittany” and “Brittany polluted: the state is guilty”. The activists released green and black smoke during the protest, and some were moved away from the algae by police as authorities moved in to clear the streets. Half of France’s over 3,000 factory farms are situated in Brittany.

Scientists find €500,000-worth of ‘floating gold’ inside dead whale
Experts have discovered the cause of death for a sperm whale that washed up unexpectedly on the shores of Spain’s La Palma island - €500,000 of “floating gold”. The impressive discovery was made after experts from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria carried out a post-mortem, with authorities initially unsure how the 15-ton, 13-metre-long whale washed up on Nogales beach last month. “When I dissected and removed the stone I turned around and everyone on the beach looked at me in surprise, but for me at that moment I understood where the origin of the infection was coming from,” Antonio Fernández Rodríguez, the head of the Institute of Animal Health and Food Security at the university, said. The stone, he explained, was a large lump of precious ambergris, a rare substance sometimes known as “floating gold”. Highly prized by perfumers, the 9.5 kg lump found in the whale can sell for up to €500,000 (£430,000).
