4 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Feb 25, 2026 09:12 PM IST Norway continued to dominate in Italy even after the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics wrapped up as Bodø/Glimt stunned Inter Milan in the round of 32 playoffs of the UEFA Champions League. To put this achievement in perspective, the club come from a town (Bodø) so small that their entire population, of just over 42,000, could comfortably fit into Milan’s San Siro stadium, which seats 75,817. For a team that comes from such a humble place, unconventional methods might be the only way they can prosper. It is not a new concept for football clubs to employ a club psychologist, yet Bodø’s approach remains unique: their mental coach, Bjorn Mannsverk, is a former fighter pilot. In an interview with Sky Sports last year, he spoke about developing the practice of ‘The Ring.’ After conceding a goal, players immediately gather in a huddle, not only to discuss their errors but also to collectively share the responsibility. He said he got the idea from his combat days. “When …

We still do not fully know the long-term effects of growing up with AI companions and synthetic media,” he said at a session at the ongoing AI Impact Summit. “The need to embed child-specific safeguards and guardrails into the governance framework is not a choice, but it is a must,” Mr. Sood said, underlining that the advance of AI has created a governance responsibility. “Future generation should not be a victim of today’s technology,” he said.

Gandhi held up Naravane’s unreleased memoir and said he would like the youngsters in India to know that this ‘book’ exists despite the government claiming otherwise. “Every youngster in India should read this book,” Gandhi said. He said Naravane has written the full account of what happened in Ladakh. “This book clearly states that when the Chinese army had entered our border, in such a critical moment, the army chief was made to wait. And when the time came to take a decision, the PM simply said — ‘jo aapko uchit lage woh kijiye’,” Gandhi said. “In other words, in the most serious crisis for the country’s security, Modi ji evaded political responsibility,” he said. The former Congress chief further said the the army chief has written in his book that he felt alone and was abandoned by …
