The head of the Defence Academy emphasized that the goal is not just to find the strongest or fastest individuals but to assess how candidates function within a team and under pressure.

In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.
The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño. Brandolini connects the

The article discusses Martin Ødegaard's experience at Real Madrid under coach Carlo Ancelotti, highlighting their tense relationship. Ødegaard joined Real Madrid in 2015, but Ancelotti reportedly did not want him in the team, expressing this in a 2016 statement. Despite being signed by club president Florentino Pérez as a marketing move, Ødegaard struggled and was loaned out multiple times before joining Arsenal. The article references a Brazilian newspaper, UOL, which highlights the Norwegian player's challenges and compares his situation to that of Brazil's young star Endrick, who also failed to make an impact at Real Madrid. The piece notes that Norwegian journalists who regularly covered Ødegaard's progress eventually stopped seeking interviews after Ancelotti's dismissive responses.
- On the verge of being irresponsible
The article discusses concerns raised by Norway's team doctor, Ola Sand, regarding the extreme heat conditions during training for the 2026 World Cup in New Jersey. The temperature at the training facility was reported to feel like 41 degrees Celsius, despite being officially measured at 38°C. Sand expressed worry about the potential risks to players' health, particularly in such high temperatures, and criticized FIFA for not having an upper limit on match temperatures. He emphasized the importance of monitoring players closely and implementing cooling breaks, which are used in other sports but not in football. Additionally, Sand advised players to limit their coffee intake before matches due to its diuretic effects and mentioned that some players, like Julian Ryerson, were being carefully monitored after previous injuries.
World Cup weather forecast has turned
The article discusses the change in weather forecast for Norway’s upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final match against Brazil, which is set to take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Initially, the weather was predicted to bring up to 24 mm of rain on Sunday, but this was revised after new data suggested temperatures would range between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, with light showers and significantly less rainfall. The sudden shift is attributed to updated weather models incorporating new information in a situation marked by high uncertainty. Meteorologist Marit Kollstuen explains that weather predictions become more reliable as the event approaches, noting that while some rain is still expected, large amounts of precipitation are unlikely. She also mentions that previously forecasted heavy rain might now occur on Monday instead.
Fredrik Gulsvik charged again
Former football player Fredrik Gulsvik, known as 'Super-Mac,' has been indicted again in a new case involving drug smuggling and fraud. He is accused of being part of a criminal group involved in cocaine trafficking and money laundering. According to the indictment, he received 400,000 Norwegian kroner from a fraud scheme on January 21, 2023, and later transferred the funds to another person. Additionally, Gulsvik is accused of entering financing agreements with BMW Financial Services to purchase two BMW X5 cars without intending to fulfill the payment terms, totaling nearly 3.5 million kroner. He also sought financing from Danske Bank for 1.8 million kroner for car purchases without intent to repay, and signed multiple mobile phone contracts with Telenor and lease agreements for electronics without plans to meet financial obligations. The trial is scheduled for three days in November at Oslo District Court. Gulsvik previously admitted guilt for cocaine smuggling and explained that large gambling debts led him into drug trafficking. He had previously spoken about this in an interview with VG.
Putin recognizes the oil map for the first time
Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged for the first time that Russia is building 'some oil reserves' during a meeting focused on energy issues. He emphasized the need to strengthen domestic oil production and increase output. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continued their attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, detonating an oil purification plant in the southern Krasnodar region, which produces around four million tons of crude oil annually. The Krasnodar region is one of Russia's largest oil-producing areas located near the Black Sea. On Tuesday, Ukrainian forces launched large-scale air strikes on Sevastopol, the largest city on Crimea, including attacks on oil facilities. In response, Russia, which annexed Crimea in 2014, has restricted fuel sales to the public to counteract the energy shortages. According to reports, these attacks have had no impact on the front line. During an interview with a Russian state television station, Putin described the Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure as an attempt to destabilize Russian society. He stated that Ukraine's goal was to halt the deployment of Russian military units to improve their position in arms control talks.
