The visitors were awarded an 11th-minute penalty when Matteo Prati dragged down Kylian Mbappe and the French forward found the net from the spot.

Bellingham doubled Real’s lead in the 21st minute with the England midfielder driving from the halfway line, dinking the ball over the onrushing keeper and passing into an empty net.

Record signing Yan Diomande hit a third before half-time, volleying home an effort after a corner kick had been half cleared.

Mbappe also hit the post in the 59th minute with a curling effort from the edge of the box.

Santander then had a late penalty overturned by the video assistant referee after it determined a handball from Aurelien Tchouameni was accidental and came after the ball had deflected up off the midfielder’s boot.

Victory meant Real have won their past five matches in all competitions and are just three points off La Liga leaders and rivals Barcelona who they beat 2-1 in their previous match.

Jose Mourinho’s side are on an excellent run and have only lost two games this season, with their last defeat coming against rivals Atletico Madrid on September 20.

Mourinho gave a rare start to England full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and the former Liverpool defender almost had an early assist but team-mate Arda Guler curled his his cut-back in the area just wide.

Alexander-Arnold, 28, has only started five of Real Madrid’s 14 games this season with Denzel Dumfries and midfielder Federico Valverde often being preferred in the right back position.

The event at the Lusail International Circuit is set to take place on 6-8 November, having been postponed from April.

MotoGP is going ahead with the race, despite reports 19 of 22 riders have signed a letter raising concerns, external about competing in Qatar during the US-Israeli war on Iran.

In February, the United States and Israel launched air strikes against Iran, which in return fired missiles at Israel, and at other countries in the region with links to the US. 

Yamaha said it has “not identified sufficient grounds to change its existing company-wide travel restrictions” on travelling to the Middle East, with the Japanese government advising its citizens against non-essential travel to the region.

MotoGP said it is “disappointed” by Yamaha’s decision, which it says does not reflect the “extensive assurances” it has been given by Qatar and independent safety advisors that the race can go ahead.

Qatar has said it can guarantee teams would not be stranded in case of any escalation in the conflict.

How Israel resolves its political deadlock following recent elections and the results of Tuesday’s US midterms could have significant impacts on the situation in the Middle East.

MotoGP added there will be “sporting implications” for Yamaha’s withdrawal. Fellow Japanese outfit Honda and Yamaha’s satellite team Pramac Racing are currently set to compete in Qatar.

What could this mean for F1?

MotoGP is organised by Liberty Media, which also own Formula 1.

The F1 season is currently set to culminate in the Qatar GP from 27-29 November, followed by the Abu Dhabi GP on 4-6 December.

F1 is continuing with plans to stage both races, having been given what it considers suitable security guarantees and reassurances, despite it this causing some disquiet in the paddock.

F1 is being advised there have been no attacks on civilian infrastructure in Qatar or the United Arab Emirates since May.

Imola in Italy is being readied as a potential host for the final grand prix of the season on 4-6 December if the two races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi cannot be held.

Mageean, from Portaferry in Northern Ireland, was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in May 2025.

She represented Ireland at the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, but was forced to withdraw from the 2024 Paris Games because of an Achilles injury.

Earlier in 2024, Mageean had clinched the first major title of her career when she took 1500m gold at the European Championships in Rome.

Prior to that she had also represented Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games, winning 1500m silver at Birmingham 2022.

A statement posted on her social media on Sunday said: “At 6.30am this morning, Ciara lost her battle with cancer surrounded by her loved ones.

“A beloved daughter, sister, wife, friend and inspiration to so many, she will be deeply missed.

“Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam (may her soul rest in peace).”

In a statement on social media, Athletics Ireland said: “We are heartbroken. An inspiration to so many, Ciara will be remembered for her courage, kindness and incredible spirit.

“Our deepest sympathies are with her family, friends and loved ones at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Ciara.”

In October, Mageean wed her long-term partner Thomas Moran in a small civil ceremony in Belfast. A talented athlete from a young age, Mageean played camogie for Portaferry GAC, but her dream of representing Ireland at the Olympics led her to pursue a career in athletics.

Her running prowess was clear during an impressive junior career that yielded 1500m silvers at the 2010 World Junior Championships and 2011 European Junior Championships. She also reached the 2010 Commonwealth Games 1500m final as an 18-year-old.

However, Mageean’s early progress in the senior ranks was hampered by a serious ankle injury, which ended her hopes of making her Olympic debut at London 2012.

Having had surgery in 2013, Mageean won the Irish 1500m title on her return in July 2014.

In 2016, she claimed 1500m bronze at the European Championships in Amsterdam, but her Olympic debut ended in disappointment as she exited the 1500m competition at the semi-final stage.

In late 2017, Mageean left her Dublin base to join Steve Vernon’s Team New Balance in Manchester after parting ways with coach Jerry Kiernan.

Education plays an important role in every teenager’s life. It gives young people the knowledge and skills they need to understand the world and prepare for the future.

Through education, teenagers learn how to think, solve problems, communicate with others and make good decisions. It also helps them discover their talents, develop their abilities and work towards achieving their dreams.

Education opens doors to better opportunities and helps young people become responsible members of society. It also teaches important values such as discipline, honesty and respect.

Every teenager should take education seriously, work hard in school and make good use of every opportunity to learn. Education is a strong foundation for a brighter future.

Four Nigerian secondary school students have won a N5 million prize after developing a digital platform aimed at making textbooks more affordable and accessible to learners across the country.

The students emerged national champions at the Zenith Bank Future Innovators Challenge, defeating other finalists from across Nigeria with their project, ReLearn.

The team, comprising Deborah Iweha, Makayla Inyere, Fife Alonge and Okeke Janelle, developed the platform to give unused textbooks a second life by connecting them with students who need learning materials but may struggle to afford new copies.

The idea followed independent research conducted by the students with parents, which helped them identify the high cost of educational materials as a challenge affecting access to learning.

Rather than allowing textbooks to remain unused in homes after their owners have finished with them, ReLearn seeks to make such books available to other learners at a fraction of their market price.

One of the team members, Fife Alonge, said the platform could help bridge educational gaps, particularly for children in underserved communities who often have limited access to quality learning materials.

She explained that making textbooks more affordable would give more children the opportunity to learn without placing additional financial pressure on their families.

The students said they planned to use their N5m prize money to expand the platform beyond their immediate school community and make thousands more textbooks available to Nigerian learners.

Their victory came at Zecathon 6.0, the 2026 edition of the Future Innovators Challenge, Zenith Bank’s flagship innovation competition for senior secondary school students.

Organised in partnership with Beyond Limits, the competition is part of a broader programme designed to expose young people to technology, teamwork, entrepreneurship and practical problem-solving. The top three schools shared a combined prize pool of N10m.

The winning team represented Caleb British International School, Abijo, Lagos, and received guidance from mentors at the school’s Young Entrepreneurs Club.

Reacting to the achievement, the Director of Caleb Group of Schools, Dr Oladega Adebogun, said the victory reflected the importance of investing in technology and creating opportunities for young people to develop practical solutions to everyday challenges.

He said the school’s investment in information and communication technology facilities and innovation laboratories had helped provide an environment where students could explore their ideas.

Adebogun described the victory as a collective achievement involving the students, their parents, mentors, teachers and school management.

Adeyemo, a Biology teacher at Lanre Awologun High School, Gbagada, Lagos, beat 10 other state champions to win the 12th edition of the competition, which attracted 2,510 teachers from across the country.

Apart from the cash prize and vehicle, she will also attend an international training programme to improve her teaching skills. Her school will receive facilities worth N30 million.

An Abuja-based teacher, Yusuf Cariyat, came second and received N5 million, while Ephraim Iyancudo from Akwa Ibom State came third and won N3 million.

The 10 state champions also received N1 million each from the organisers, Nigerian Breweries Plc.

Speaking at the award ceremony, President Bola Tinubu, represented by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr Bernard Doro, praised teachers for their important role in educating children and preparing them for the future.

Tinubu said teachers were central to his administration’s plan to ensure that every Nigerian child had access to quality education. He also commended the organisers for recognising teachers and rewarding their hard work.

The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, said teachers helped children gain knowledge, discover their talents and build confidence to pursue their dreams.

He called for greater support for teachers, adding that their contributions to the country’s development deserved recognition.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu also announced that the state government would present Adeyemo with a three-bedroom flat in recognition of her achievement. He said the government would also bring back the Lagos Teachers’ Merit Award with improved prizes for outstanding teachers.

The Chairman of the Nigerian Breweries-Felix Ohiwerei Education Trust, Thibaut Boidin, said the award was part of efforts to recognise teachers whose work made a difference in the lives of their pupils and society.

The students emerged winners in the junior and senior secondary school categories of the competition organised by the Society for Environmental Toxicology and Pollution Mitigation (SETPOM).

In the junior category, Oyenike Adeyemi of Methodist Girls’ High School came first and received N100,000. Faridah Moshood of Daltha Heights School took second place with N70,000, while Fathia Zubair of Nurul-Islam Comprehensive High School came third and won N50,000.

In the senior category, Atoyebi Halimat of Dowen College, Lekki, emerged winner and received N100,000. Adewunmi Princess of Methodist Girls’ High School, Yaba, came second with N70,000, while Kamal Adabale of Crescent High School, Victoria Island, took third place and received N50,000.

The winners were announced at the 2026 international conference of SETPOM held at the University of Lagos.

The competition was organised to encourage students to learn more about environmental problems and understand how their actions can contribute to a cleaner and safer environment.

Speaking at the conference, environmentalist Desmond Majekodunmi warned that parts of Lagos were at risk of serious flooding because of rising sea levels and the destruction of wetlands and mangroves.

He explained that wetlands and mangroves act as natural protection against flooding by absorbing excess rainwater. However, activities such as filling wetlands with sand to make space for buildings are weakening this natural protection.

Majekodunmi urged the Lagos State Government to protect these areas and stop development projects that destroy the environment’s natural ability to protect communities.

He also explained that rising sea levels were linked to global warming, which causes ocean water to expand as it becomes warmer and contributes to the melting of large ice sheets.

His warning highlighted the need for young people and communities to understand environmental issues and support efforts to protect nature.

The accreditation means the university has received approval to offer the courses, bringing it closer to admitting students and beginning academic activities.

The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, congratulated the university’s Governing Council, management and staff on the achievement, urging them to maintain high academic standards.

He spoke during a meeting with members of the university’s Governing Council, led by its Pro-Chancellor and Chairperson, Grace Laoye-Tomori, at the National Assembly in Abuja.

Laoye-Tomori said the accreditation was an important step towards the commencement of academic activities. She also thanked Jibrin for his role in the establishment and development of the institution.

The university began as the Federal Polytechnic Kabo following a bill sponsored by Jibrin in 2016. It was later converted into a university in 2025 after President Bola Tinubu signed the bill.

Laoye-Tomori said the 20 accredited courses included medical programmes and described the development as a major achievement for the institution.

In his response, Jibrin thanked the university’s council and management for their efforts and urged them to sustain the progress.

He also said access to quality education and relevant skills was important for young Nigerians, noting that the country’s development depended greatly on the knowledge and abilities of its young people.

The university is expected to begin its maiden academic session following the accreditation of the courses.

If you dream of becoming a teacher someday, here are some tips to help you get started.

1. Develop a love for learning

A good teacher should enjoy learning new things. Read books, ask questions, and pay attention to what your teachers teach you. The more you learn, the more knowledge you will have to share with others.

2. Be patient with others

Not everyone understands things at the same speed. Some students may need more time to understand a lesson. A good teacher does not get angry when someone makes a mistake. Instead, they explain the lesson again and encourage the student to keep trying.

3. Learn how to communicate

Teachers must explain things clearly. Practise speaking confidently, reading aloud, and sharing your ideas with others. You can also help your younger brothers, sisters or friends with their schoolwork. This will help you learn to explain things simply.

4. Be kind and respectful

A good teacher treats everyone fairly. Teachers should listen to their students, respect their opinions, and avoid making anyone feel bad for asking questions. Kindness helps students feel safe and comfortable in the classroom.

5. Be creative

Learning does not have to be boring. Great teachers use stories, songs, drawings, games, and simple activities to make lessons interesting. You can start practising your creativity by finding fun ways to explain what you have learnt to your friends.

6. Learn to be organised

Teachers have many things to do, including preparing lessons, marking books and helping students. Learning how to plan your time, keep your books neat, and complete your tasks will help you develop good habits for the future.

7. Work hard in school

If you want to become a teacher, take your education seriously. Pay attention in class, complete your assignments and study your subjects. When you grow older, you will need the right education and professional training to become a qualified teacher.

Teaching is a job that can make a big difference in people’s lives. A good teacher does not only teach lessons but also inspires students to believe in themselves and work towards their dreams. You do not have to wait until you become an adult to start practising these qualities. You can begin today by being helpful, patient, curious and willing to share what you know. Who knows? You might become the teacher who inspires the next generation!

Tchopa is not just an ordinary dance. It is an important part of the people’s culture and history. It is performed during celebrations, especially after a good harvest or a successful hunting trip. It is also performed during difficult times, such as droughts and sickness, as part of traditional ceremonies.

One interesting thing about Tchopa is the way people dance. Between 20 and 30 dancers form a circle and move around one another in special steps. They dance to the sound of three different sizes of drums. The drummers play different rhythms while people sing and dance together.

The dancers also carry interesting items on their backs. These include farming tools, animal skins, small dolls, hunting equipment and old kitchen utensils. These items represent different parts of everyday life in the community.

Preparing for a Tchopa performance takes time and teamwork. Some people make the drums and dancing clothes, while others practise their steps and songs. Everyone has a role to play. Older members of the community teach younger people the songs and dancing steps so that the tradition will not be forgotten.

Tchopa is also a way of bringing people together. When someone in the community is sick or facing a difficult time, others come to offer help. They support one another and may even help with farm work when a family is struggling.

Today, children are also learning to take part in Tchopa performances. This helps them understand their culture and learn from older people. It also gives them a chance to show their talents.

In 2014, UNESCO added Tchopa to its list of important cultural traditions that should be protected and passed on to future generations.

Tchopa teaches us that culture is more than the clothes we wear or the food we eat. It is also about our music, stories, dances and the way we care for one another. We should be proud of our traditions and make efforts to keep them alive.
