Real Madrid beat Benfica 1-0 in the Champions League play-off first leg on February 17, thanks to Vinícius Júnior's 50th-minute goal at Estádio da Luz. Tensions boiled over when Vinícius and Kylian Mbappé accused Benfica's 20-year-old forward Gianluca Prestianni of yelling 'mono,' a racist slur, prompting a 10-minute stoppage under FIFA's anti-racism protocol. Prestianni denies it, admitting to a homophobic slur instead, while Benfica claims Real players retaliated with insults like 'mono blanco' and has submitted lip-reading evidence to UEFA's ongoing probe. The second leg is set for February 25 in Madrid, with potential bans looming.

Key Takeaway

Vinícius Júnior curled in a stunning winner, but a tunnel brawl stole the show, with both sides accusing each other of ugly slurs.

Oaveed Rahman, 26, from Crays Hill near Billericay, ran an unregistered 'Save A Paw' scheme, luring owners via social media with rehoming and training offers. He took fees up to £500 per dog from 11 people across 20 UK counties but starved the animals, leading police to find 41 dead dogs amid maggots and rats, plus 21 emaciated survivors in filthy conditions on May 13, 2025. Sentenced February 20, 2026, to five years in prison plus a lifetime animal ban, Judge Richard Conley called it 'an act of betrayal of epic proportions.' Owners wept in court, charities rehomed survivors, but advocates push for more digs fearing up to 180 missing pets.

Key Takeaway

Pet owners handed over their beloved dogs, trusting a promise of care, only to discover a nightmare of neglect and death at a backyard operation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson rejected the Jackson family's bid for the civil rights icon to lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, following historical precedent reserved for former presidents, military leaders, and top officials.

Key Takeaway

Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., who marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and fought for voting rights, won't receive the Capitol's rare lie-in-honor tribute his family requested.

During Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Benfica on February 17, Gianluca Prestianni told UEFA investigators he called Vinícius 'maricón,' a Spanish anti-gay slur, not 'mono' for monkey as alleged by Vinícius, Kylian Mbappé, and Aurélien Tchouaméni. Play stopped for nearly 10 minutes under anti-racism protocols, with José Mourinho intervening on the pitch. Real Madrid submitted evidence, prompting UEFA's probe under rules covering insults based on race or sexual orientation, which could ban Prestianni for at least 10 matches. Vinícius called abusers cowards on Instagram, while reactions from coaches like Álvaro Arbeloa and Vincent Kompany highlighted divides over blame and history.

Key Takeaway

In the heat of a tense Champions League clash, Benfica's young winger admitted to a homophobic slur toward Vinícius Júnior, but denied the racist insult the Brazilian star reported.

Japanese biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering autophagy, the process where cells break down and recycle damaged components to survive stress like fasting.

Shared widely during Ramadan—which began around February 18—posts connect the science to longstanding Muslim, Hindu, and folk fasting traditions, though experts caution it's no cancer cure and advise consulting doctors for safety.

Key Takeaway

As millions reach day five of Ramadan fasting, a post about Yoshinori Ohsumi's Nobel Prize for cellular self-eating has drawn huge attention. It spotlights how the body recycles damaged parts during nutrient scarcity.

India's reservation system, in place for nearly 80 years, reserves spots in jobs, education, and legislatures for historically disadvantaged groups like Scheduled Castes, Tribes, and Others. Critics like former police chief Shesh Paul Vaid argue it now hurts merit in key fields such as medicine, pointing to cases like a doctor with a low NEET-PG score getting a seat via other means. Supporters highlight ongoing rural discrimination and note that beneficiaries often pay full price for opportunities, as seen in recent Lucknow plot allotments. The Supreme Court maintains a 50% cap, but discussions push for economic-based shifts or reviews like the U.S. model.

Key Takeaway

Lawyer J. Sai Deepak challenged the endless extensions of India's reservation policy by asking for a cutoff date, just like one for reclaiming Hindu temples. His words from a public talk captured a growing tension between equity and merit.

Just days after Tarique Rahman's swearing-in as prime minister on February 17, following his BNP's landslide election win on February 12, Bangladesh resumed tourist, medical, business, and other visas at its High Commission in New Delhi and assistant commissions in Agartala and Siliguri.

Key Takeaway

Families, patients, and business travelers can now breathe easier as Bangladesh restarts full visa services for Indians at key missions.
