Former Kansas City Chiefs WR criticizes AFC West rival's front office decision

Former Kansas City Chiefs WR criticizes AFC West rival's front office decision Gehrig Dieter is a former wide receiver and Super Bowl winner with the Kansas City Chiefs. He's been out of football for a few years but remains active on social media, sharing thoughts on topics around the league, including front office decisions from AFC West rivals. According to multiple reports, the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to terms on a 4-year, $15.8M extension with an $11M guaranteed deal with All-Pro punter AJ Cole. The deal made him the highest-paid punter in the NFL, and Dieter didn't miss the breaking news as he reposted FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz with comments. "When you expect to punt a lot, you pay for a good punter," posted Dieter on his X account with laughing emojis. Dieter played for the Chiefs from 2017 to 2021, spending most of his time on the practice squad or special teams. He had two career receptions for 32 yards before announcing his retirement in June 2022. The Chiefs and Raiders rivalry continues to be one of the best in the league's history as former players like Dieter playfully keep the same energy off the field.

Trial of three suspects in preparation of sabotage acts ordered by Russia begins in Bavaria

A trial in the case of three people who are believed to have been recruited by Russian agents to prepare sabotage in Germany begins in Bavaria, Germany. Source: Tagesschau, a German TV news service, as reported by European Pravda Details: The trial of three suspects, whom the prosecutor's office considers to be "grassroots" agents recruited by the Russian Federation to prepare sabotage in Germany, is beginning in the Higher Land Court of Munich. The main defendant is a man named Dieter, who is being tried in another case in parallel for joining one of the units of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" from 2014 to 2016. In that case, he is accused of membership in a terrorist organisation. The investigation believes that since then, Dieter has been in contact with a person connected to Russian intelligence. Since October 2023, he has been receiving instructions on how to organise sabotage in Germany. Dieter is believed to have engaged two other perpetrators, Alexander and Alex. The prosecutor's office accuses Dieter of agreeing to arrange explosions and arson attacks on military infrastructure and industrial facilities in Germany and that he had already begun taking photos and videos of the targets and sending this information to the customer. In particular, the target was to be a railway line, which is often used by echelons of military aid for Ukraine. They also planned to target a defence industry enterprise near Bayreuth in eastern Germany. Dieter and Alexander were detained in April 2024. Dieter has been in custody since then, and Alexander was later released with a number of restrictions. Alex has not been taken into custody. Background: Earlier in May, German media outlets reported on the arrests in Germany and Switzerland of individuals who were allegedly supposed to send parcels with explosive devices on behalf of Russian special services. The suspects are Ukrainians. The Latvian secret service recently published advice on how to identify possible spies and saboteurs. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Here are all the Android devices that were showcased at the end of the Android Show stream

Google premiered a new episode of The Android Show on YouTube yesterday, giving us an early look at what to expect from Android 16 and beyond. Hosted by Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem, the stream walked viewers through some of the biggest updates coming to the platform, many of which will take center stage at this year's Google I/O — including that big Android 16 redesign to the Material 3 Expressive design one of the more fun moments came right at the end. Dieter Bohn, Director of Product Narrative at Google, made an appearance to showcase a wide range of Android devices. It was a reminder of how diverse the Android ecosystem has become, not just in terms of hardware design, but also in the experiences these phones offer. Dieter picked up and talked about a few of the devices, highlighting what makes each of them unique. Others were just sitting on the table, but still worth pointing out. We've identified all the phones shown in the clip and included a quick rundown below. If you're curious about the future of Android hardware, this is a great preview of what's coming. Dieter Bohn, Director of Product Narrative at Google, showcasing some notable Android phones. | Image credit — Google Below are all the phones we could identify that were shown during the segment: Here's a closer look at each one: Dieter called out the phone's beautiful display, with a matte finish that helps reduce glare. He also mentioned the strong performance, pro-light camera system, and native support for Gemini AI. In our review, we found the Galaxy S25 Ultra to be one of the most complete flagship phones right now. It features a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a quad-camera setup with a 200MP main sensor, and S Pen support. It's still a large phone, but the titanium build helps keep it more comfortable to hold. This one was praised for being a solid value pick. Dieter said it takes great photos with both its wide and ultrawide cameras, lasts over 30 hours on a charge, and comes with Gemini for conversational help. The Pixel 9a offers the same Tensor G4 chip as the higher-end models, making it fast and capable for its price. In our review, we highlighted the excellent photo quality, especially in low light, and the clean software experience with regular updates. The slightly larger OLED screen also makes it more enjoyable for watching content. A stylish flip phone with a twist. Dieter pointed out the unique wood finish on the back and its compact size. He also highlighted how it lets you manage tasks using Gemini directly from the external screen. We found it to be one of the most polished clamshell foldables yet. It has a massive cover screen that supports full apps, a slick hinge design, and a snappy Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The cameras are decent for a foldable, and the design makes it super pocket-friendly without sacrificing functionality. Dieter said this phone stood out with its eye-catching lights on the back that provide helpful ambient info. It has a zoom lens and a dedicated button that can save notes and screenshots into an AI-powered memory system. We noted that the (3a) Pro keeps Nothing's unique design language but adds more practicality this year. The Glyph Interface now supports app-specific notifications, and the camera system is more versatile thanks to the inclusion of a telephoto lens. The software remains clean and fast, and battery life is solid. This phone wasn't discussed on camera, but it's known for its advanced camera setup and sleek design. Reviews have praised its image quality and performance, though battery life and software support may be areas to watch. In our review, we called the Xiaomi 15 Ultra one of the most impressive camera phones on the market, featuring dual 1-inch sensors and advanced computational photography. It's also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, the software may feel a bit heavy to users used to stock Android. Also shown but not discussed, the Z Fold 6 continues Samsung's push in foldables with improved durability, multitasking tools, and a streamlined design. It comes with the latest Snapdragon chip and Galaxy AI features. We noted that the Z Fold 6 is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, with a redesigned hinge and brighter main display. It supports all the familiar multitasking tricks like split screen and pop-up windows. Another device spotted on the table. The OnePlus 13 features a large battery, premium build, and fast performance. Reviewers have liked its solid all-around user experience and its clean software approach. We found the OnePlus 13 to deliver excellent value, combining a 6.8-inch AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and a huge 6,000 mAh battery. OxygenOS feels snappy, and the camera setup has improved dramatically, especially with the main and ultrawide sensors. It also supports 100W fast charging. While Dieter didn't call this one out by name, a closeup shot reveals a device that strongly resembles what we believe is the Pixel 9 Pro Fold . The bezels and screen shape match the ones in the physical device, though the back wasn't visible. In our review of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold , we found the device builds on Google's first-gen foldable with a sleeker design, better durability, and improved battery life. It features a brighter inner display, thinner bezels, and upgraded hinge mechanics that make it feel more premium. The camera system has also been enhanced, and the inclusion of Gemini AI brings smarter multitasking and productivity features. With all of these phones in one place, it's clear Android is entering the next phase with a focus on design, AI, and hardware variety. If this lineup is any indication, there's a lot to look forward to when it comes to Android devices in the future.

The Canadian bucket list destination with a natural wonder of the world, stunning car-free islands and great wine

The bucket-list destination is now even easier for Brits to reach OVER THE TOP The Canadian bucket list destination with a natural wonder of the world, stunning car-free islands and great wine WE'RE hovering in mid-air at 2,500ft – when the scale of this natural phenomenon hits me. Gripping on to my seatbelt, I peer out of the helicopter window and am met with the sight of 19million gallons of water rushing into an icy gorge every minute. Advertisement 5 Canada's Niagara Helicopters have safely taken tourists over the Falls for the last 64 years Credit: Getty 5 The Sun's Emily Webber in the helicopter Credit: Supplied 5 You're surrounded by glitzy skyscrapers, great nightlife, fabulous food in Toronto Credit: Getty Our pilot welcomes us to Niagara Falls and, almost on cue, a rainbow forms as the sun clashes with the torrents of turquoise water. This ride is not for the faint-hearted, but the team at Canada's Niagara Helicopters assure me that they have safely taken tourists over the Falls for the last 64 years. The bucket-list destination is now even easier for Brits to reach, thanks to Virgin Atlantic's new direct service between Heathrow and Toronto Pearson International Airport. After touching down, you can be in the heart of Canada's 'city that never sleeps' in just 25 minutes via the UP Express train (£6.70 one way). Advertisement Step off at Union station and you're surrounded by glitzy skyscrapers, great nightlife, fabulous food and Canada's biggest natural history museum, the Royal Ontario Museum. You've also got the stunning Niagara Falls right on your doorstep. Back in the chopper, my 12-minute flight begins at the Two Sisters Vineyards, a winery spanning 130 acres on the banks of the Niagara River. After watching the slick Airbus H130 land in front of the vineyard's chateau, I hop aboard. Advertisement We quickly ascend skyward and head to the Falls. The helicopter makes a swift turn and my stomach flips as our pilot tries to get the best view of the waterfall, formed 12,000 years ago during the Ice Age. Martin Lewis gives travel advice about checking your passport With the sun beating down on the Niagara River — frozen from a cold snap overnight — we make our way to Lake Ontario. The cool blue water and sandy shore of Ontario — one of the five Great Lakes of North America — is a stark contrast from the river of white. Advertisement Circling back for a smooth landing, it's time to enjoy the fruits of Ontario — by sampling the best that Two Sisters has to offer (tastings from £16pp). I am handed a flute of its 2021 Lush Sparkling — a pale pink fizz, ripe with citrus zest and cranberries — as master sommelier Dieter welcomes us. This is a passion project by Italian sisters Melissa Marotta-Paolicelli and Angela Marotta, who bought a peach orchard in 2006 and transformed it into the vineyard that now produces around 150,000 bottles of wine every year. Dieter says: 'Here, it is not the boardroom table, it is the kitchen table. The family sits down and there is a lot of waving of hands. 'They are not making decisions because the technical experts say you should do things a certain way. Advertisement Cheesy chips 'They are doing things from the heart and from their love of wine.' We stroll through immaculate rows of vines before descending to a candle-lit table in The Barrel Room, where we feast on fresh salads, crispy saffron chicken and hand-made rigatoni. With full bellies and Niagara Falls ticked off our bucket lists, we then decamp to the five-star 1 Hotel Toronto, in the cool King West Village neighbourhood. This former industrial area is now a buzzing district of bars, boutiques and outdoor markets selling everything from art to craft beer and poutine — Canada's answer to cheesy chips and gravy. Advertisement With reclaimed wood interiors and organic composters, the hotel has sustainability at its core, but with a touch of luxury. 5 Owners of Two Sisters Vineyards, Melissa and Angela Credit: 5 Enjoy a bike tour of the Toronto Islands Credit: Getty Decorated in a soothing natural palette, my room feels like a retreat from the hive of activity outside the window. Advertisement At breakfast there is local farm-to-table cuisine. Overnight oats and chia-seed puddings sit beside streaky bacon and fresh pancakes served with lashings of maple syrup. Fuelled up, I brave the cold for a bike tour of the Toronto Islands, a 13-minute ferry ride from downtown. Ryan and Sydney from Toronto Bicycle Tours meet us with bikes, and fleeced ponchos to protect us from the elements. At the ferry terminal we join island dwellers bundling groceries into their bike baskets as they return to their little oasis. Advertisement These 15 small islands were used as a training base for the Norwegian Air Force during World War Two. Now they are home to around 700 people, along with a school, petting zoo and lighthouse — with no visitors' cars allowed. We pedal along the boardwalk, taking in fantastic views of the skyline, dominated by the CN Tower with its revolving restaurant 1,151ft up in the air. Cycling along car-free tracks, breathing fresh island air after a whirlwind trip of helicopters and wine tasting, I'm on a different kind of high. Advertisement
