August was packed with big football moves, political twists, health warnings and some feel‑good cultural pieces. Below is a quick run‑through so you can catch up without scrolling through each article.
Sports & Transfers
The football world kept us on our toes. Raheem Sterling shocked fans by leaving Chelsea for Arsenal, reuniting with Mikel Arteta and boosting Arsenal’s title chase. At the same time, Manchester United agreed to sell Scott McTominay to Napoli for £25 million, a deal that could open up space for other signings. Manchester City tried to lock down Ilkay Gündogan on a new contract while Julian Alvarez’s €82 million switch to Atletico Madrid made headlines as one of the season’s biggest moves.
Young talent also got love. Alfie Harrison talked up Newcastle United’s Under‑21 squad ahead of their Premier League 2 opener against Sunderland, and Glen Powell, Nicholas Braun and Taraji P. Henson announced new comedy podcasts on Audible – a fun crossover for sports fans who enjoy a good laugh.
Politics, Health & Culture
Africa stayed front‑and‑center. Kenya’s State House denied President Ruto’s alleged job offer to lawyer Morara Kebaso, while Nigeria saw a travel alert issued after riots sparked in the UK. In Kenya again, the Senate weighed options in Governor Mwangaza’s impeachment trial – a drama that could reshape Meru County politics.
Health updates weren’t quiet either. Mpox (formerly Monkeypox) turned into a public health emergency with India on high alert as cases surged across Asia and Africa. Meanwhile, the Olympics provided feel‑good moments: shooters Yusuf Dikec and Kim Ye‑ji stole the spotlight with their style and focus, while Noah Lyles sprinted in Paris 2024.
Cultural stories added a lighter touch. Fans of Love Is Blind UK asked whether Ollie and Demi are still together, and we shared heartfelt Raksha Bandhan 2024 wishes for anyone celebrating the festival with siblings near or far.
