For the first time, the German Football Museum in Dortmund is dedicating an entire exhibition to two current active players, Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, which will be on display until the end of the year. The show, named 'SUPERHEROES. Jamal Musiala. Florian Wirtz. The immersive Experience', tells the story of the two players in an extraordinary multimedia exhibition format. It will be premiering on Wednesday and open to all from Saturday Manuel Neukirchner, Director of the German Football Museum: “It usually takes historical figures decades, often even centuries, to make it into the collective memory of museums. Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, at just 22 and 23 years old respectively, are already conquering the world of exhibitions at the German Football Museum. That's a statement. With our new blockbuster exhibition, we are closer to the pulse of the times than ever before. The way we present Jamal and Florian in a museum setting is as spectacular as their game itself."

Keep in mind that everyone criticizing the Nakba exhibit Canadian Museum for Human Rights has not even seen it. The inclusion of Palestinian voices, and the story of their past and present forced displacement, is a part of the Canadian story. The Nakba exhibit is up till 2028. Go see it!

A Belfast man who went to an auction to support a friend, and ended up spending £90,000 on a library, says he wants to use it as a cross-community space and ‘create a new Northern Ireland’. Carnegie Oldpark Library is a historic 1906 Carnegie‑funded building in north Belfast, created to bring learning and opportunity. Largely unused since its 2010 closure, it is now the focus of a community‑led restoration project. Quintin Oliver, who grew up in east Belfast and now lives in the south of the city, told The Irish News that Carnegie’s aspirations inspired him when he happened to buy the historic building. 🎥 Dylan Hegarty

“I love it – for Belfast people to look up and see a rainbow. Isn’t that the city we should be proud of? “Giving everybody - with all kinds of worries going on - hope in this city… “You will not get the Rangers, the Celtic or the Liverpool match in any of my pubs. You’ll not get an alcopop or a gaming machine either. You’ll get conversation and craic. That’s what Belfast is good for.” Veteran Belfast publican Willie Jack talks to The Irish News about the inspiration behind his famous umbrellas – and why they are symbolic of Belfast. 🎥 Dylan Hegarty

A court in the Russian city of Orenburg has sentenced three people to between two and seven years in jail for being involved in the "LGBT movement". The two men and one woman were all employees of the Pose bar which was raided by police after a tip off by pro-Kremlin activists. It's the first such case of its kind, after Russia's supreme court declared "the LGBT movement" as an extremist organisation in 2023.

I was with the DA Free State leadership to visit a major arterial road between Tweespruit and Excelsior that is mired in corruption allegations of senior politicians and is in a terrible condition. The road is crucial for the movement of agricultural goods, school children, and the access of emergency services to the farming community. The alarming conditions of critical infrastructure threaten economic growth in the Free State.
