Atalanta signs Poland wing-back Nicola Zalewski after short stay at Inter Milan
BERGAMO, Italy (AP) — Atalanta has signed Nicola Zalewski with the Poland wing-back leaving Inter Milan after just seven months and 17 games, including a Champions League final. Atalanta did not disclose a transfer fee in the deal announced late Monday for the 23-year-old Zalewski. It was reported to be 17 million euros ($20 million). That would be about 10 million euros ($11.7 million) profit for Inter which signed Zalewski on loan from Roma in February. The move was made permanent with a 6.3 million euro ($7.4 million) deal in June, while the club was in the United States at the Club World Cup. Inter lost in the round of 16 against Fluminense. Zalewski will stay in the Champions League this season after Atalanta qualified by placing third in Serie A. In the final last season, he came on as a second-half substitute in Inter's 5-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain. The Italy-born Zalewski has played 29 times for Poland including two games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and two at the 2024 European Championship in Germany Atalanta said Zalewski is its fifth offseason signing for the club, which is majority-owned by United States investor Stephen Pagluica. The team is now coached by Ivan Jurić after the inspirational Gian Piero Gasperini left to join Roma after nine years in Bergamo that brought the 2024 Europa League title. ___ AP soccer:

Apple Encryption Fight—U.S. Forces U.K. To Drop ‘Back Door'
This could be the biggest Apple update of 2025, surpassing anything that comes from the release of iOS 26 and even iPhone 17. It seems that rumors the U.S. has forced the U.K. to end its demand for Apple to compromise its own encryption are real. 'Over the past few months,' Tulsi Gabbard posted on X, I've been working closely with our partners in the UK, alongside @POTUS and @VP, to ensure Americans' private data remains private and our Constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected." 'As a result,' America's Director of National Intelligence confirmed late on Monday, 'the UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a 'back door' that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties.' If this pans out, it ends the saga of the secret / not secret furor over a National Security directive placed on Apple by the U.K. government to provide access to fully encrypted iCloud data. That resulted in the iPhone-mazker dropped its most secure encryption in the U.K. for new users and a widespread backlash amongst the privacy lobby. This comes as the other privacy furor of 2025 — age verification for online content — has resulted in a raft of complaints about the implications on a free and open internet. But the encryption back door is much more serious. There's no such thing as selective compromises when it comes to encryption. Any back door of any sort can be exploited by bad actors, and Apple has been right to dig its heels in. It has been joined by Meta and others in the fight to keep privacy data private. This is a breaking story and we await confirmation and further details.
