How a fight like Makhachev vs Garry is actually scored
Garry made the champion look human for the first time in years and still lost four of five rounds on two scorecards. That is not a robbery — it is what the criteria say, and almost nobody reads them in order.

Anak Krakatau Flight Update: What Reopened and What Bali Travellers Still Need to Check
Anak Krakatau ash interrupted Jakarta–Bali connections without closing Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport. By 8 September, the eight airports that had temporarily closed were operating again after negative ash checks, but schedules remained dynamic.

El Niño is firmly established: what the 2026–2027 outlook really says
The September outlook raises the risk of disruptive weather into 2027, but it does not promise the same outcome everywhere. Here is the verified forecast, its dates and its limits.

PISA 2025 records a deep reading and maths decline—without a simple culprit
Results from 760,000 teenagers across 91 countries and economies show a serious skills problem, but they do not prove that one technology or policy caused it. The numbers need context.

Eminem released almost nothing in 2026 and stayed in the conversation anyway
A documentary about his fans rather than about him. A soundtrack that charted. A tour poster circulated widely and turned out to be fabricated. In a year when everyone else flooded the market, the most discussed absence in rap did more with less.
People
Travis Scott sold more tickets than Kendrick and grossed less. That was the plan
The highest-grossing solo rap tour ever moved 2.1 million tickets at roughly $126 each. The highest-grossing rap tour overall moved fewer tickets at nearly double the price. Both are records and they describe opposite businesses.
People
Cardi B priced her first arena tour above Travis Scott's. The eight-year wait is why
Her first headline arena tour was also her record-setting one, off a catalogue of two albums. Divide the published totals and she out-priced the highest-volume tour in rap history while playing rooms less than half the size.
People
Tyler, The Creator sold out two nights at Dodger Stadium without naming a single act
Every other artist in this series sells tickets to watch themselves perform. Tyler sold out a two-day festival at Dodger Stadium before naming one act on the bill, and has a full 2026 with no album announced.
People
Future passed Eminem and Kanye with his twelfth number one. It was his smallest opening in years
He now holds the all-time record for number one albums outright, past Eminem and Kanye West. He set it with roughly forty per cent fewer units than the last comparable album, on a record with no guests, in a year he spent as a guest on everyone else's.
People
Central Cee had global hits for years before his first album. Then he followed it with an EP
He filled the O2 on the strength of singles before he had ever released a studio album. When it finally arrived it broke a UK streaming record, and the follow-up was an EP that landed six days after the tour ended.
People
Sexyy Red played Coachella, released an album, then played Coachella again with a different set
Coachella runs the same festival twice. Almost every artist plays the same set both times and gets one news cycle. She used the gap between them to release an album and turned one booking into two separate events.
People
21 Savage announced an album on a Monday and released it that Friday. Drake was on it
A guest list including Drake, Metro Boomin, Lil Baby, Latto and GloRilla takes the better part of a year to clear. The announcement window was four days. The record was slow; only the marketing runway was deleted.
People
Putin can plan to 2036. Almost nobody negotiating with him can plan past their next election
The mechanism worth understanding is not rhetoric but arithmetic: a constitutional change zeroed his term count, making him eligible until 2036. Length of horizon is a negotiating asset, and it is one his counterparts structurally cannot match.
People
Xi Jinping removed term limits by 2,958 votes to two. The margin is the story, not the result
Out of 2,963 delegates, two voted against. A number that high on a constitutional reversal tells you less about the level of support than about what the institution has stopped being able to report upward.
People
Dubai publishes a decade of numeric targets. Almost no other city dares to be measured that way
Double the economy, top three globally, foreign trade from AED 14.2 to 25.6 trillion, foreign direct investment from AED 32 to 60 billion a year. These are product specifications with dates attached, and publishing them is a far riskier act than it looks.

Saudi Arabia said The Line is not essential by 2030. That is the most informative sentence in Vision 2030
A sovereign fund moving to eighty per cent domestic allocation is a headline. A governor saying the flagship project is not essential by the deadline is the real news, and the two announcements arrived in the same week for the same reason.
