Eddie Howe’s time at Newcastle United is over. After nearly five years in charge, the head coach has stepped down following discussions with the club’s hierarchy over the past 48 hours. The move, however, did not come out of nowhere. Howe had already begun contemplating a departure weeks earlier, even as he continued preparing the squad for their Premier League opener against Liverpool on August 23. His exit lands just 25 days before that fixture. It also arrives at a moment when Newcastle are attempting to stabilise after a turbulent summer of major sales, shifting priorities and growing uncertainty around key…

Iran foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has responded to Israel’s attempts to reject Donald Trump’s supposed ceasefire ‘memorandum of understanding‘ with Iran. Araghchi warned Israel – and Trump – that there is no prospect of any agreement to end the illegal US-Israel war unless Israel gets out of Lebanon completely: The end of the war will not be complete without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied in Lebanon. Any military attack by Israel on Lebanon and the continued occupation of Lebanese territories from now on, in our opinion, is a violation of the MoU. https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Araghchi-Lebanon-Subbed-hb.mp4 Araghchi continues to…

Israel’s illegal war against Lebanon leaves 250k without proof they owned their destroyed homes

As Israel’s brutal expansionist campaign in Lebanon continues with absolute impunity, Lebanese officials warn the destruction could leave up to 250,000 people unable to prove they own homes that have been – or will likely soon be – demolished. Aerial imagery over Bint Jbeil has fuelled this growing alarm, appearing to show the destruction of sites holding civil records and land deeds – effectively erasing “the paper infrastructure of a city’s legal existence.” The Intercept report that the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) targeted attacks have left Bint Jbeil without a notary. Government buildings have been razed to the ground, and Lebanese…

Private water company leaves thousands dry amid record May heatwave

One privately-owned water company left thousands of people in south-east England dry and thirsty this week. This comes amid one of Britain’s hottest-ever May heatwaves. South East Water, which covers much of Kent, left over 8,000 people without any tap water. The company claimed that nearby reservoirs at Whitstable were at a “critical level” due to “extremely high demand”. The company’s six-figure CEO David Hinton stepped down from his position in early May over consistent failures, shortages and outages but will remain in-post to allow an orderly transition over the summer period. That and, presumably, to keep earning a slice of…

Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City after 10 special years

Pep Guardiola’s final match at the Etihad felt like a punctuation mark rather than a spectacle. He chose a day that honoured staff, academy graduates, and long‑serving players rather than chasing one last headline. The tone was controlled, personal and unmistakably Guardiola: detail‑driven, human‑centred and low on theatrics. The farewell City fielded an experimental side and the result mattered less than the people on the pitch. That selection underlined a simple point: Guardiola treated the club as a project of stewardship, not a stage for self‑promotion. The final day was about the club’s story and the people who helped write it.…
