How to use this tag

Scan the short summaries to find what interests you, then tap the full story for details. Use your browser find (Ctrl+F or Command+F) to search within this tag for names or topics—like "Wimbledon", "fuel levy" or "Bybit hack." Bookmark this tag or follow our site to get daily updates. If you prefer just headlines, skim the top of the page; if you want context, open the full article for quotes, timelines and implications.

We prioritize clarity. That means quick ledes, clear timelines, and plain explanations of why a story matters. For example, a report on the fuel levy shows who pays more at the pump and how farmers might be affected. A sports piece highlights key moments and what the result means for standings or careers. A business or security story explains risks and next steps, like how exchanges responded after a major crypto hack.
