October's Very Own Links With Callaway and Vessel for a Golf Capsule
Drake'sOctober's Very Ownis stepping further onto the fairway, linking up withCallaway GolfandVessel Golfon a capsule that infuses on-course essentials with streetwear attitude. The collection spans a Callaway Chrome Tour ball set in a black-and-gold monogram box, anOdysseyAi-ONE #7 mallet, Opus wedges, a logo-heavy towel and glove and a Vessel stand bag. Each item carries OVO's signature owl and cursive script for a distinctly Toronto stamp. While Callaway and Vessel bring the technical credibility, OVO's creative direction positions the capsule as more of a cultural play than a technical innovation push. Case in hand: the campaign images which featureOVO Nikoleaning fully into the aesthetic with Jordan golf shoes on foot and cigar in hand. It's a reminder that golf's new audience is equally attuned to streetwear cues as they are to more conventional polos and chinos. And while this isn't Drake's first golf crossover (that distinction belongs to Nocta), it shows OVO's commitment to weaving golf into its lifestyle orbit. The drop is available now viathe brand's online shop.

Mile after mile of grey rubble - the view from a plane dropping aid to Gaza
We are on our way to Gaza with the Jordanian military. The aircraft is hot and noisy and as we get closer, the atmosphere gets more tense. Aircrew gesture with their hands to tell us how many minutes there are to go. Fifteen. Six. One. The Jordanian military C-130 flies out over the sea before banking and heading inland for . The parachutes, attached to the top of each of the eight pallets, are prepared for the drop. As land approaches, I look down. The ground is modern and built up - we're still over southern . Then a few short minutes later, it's clear we've crossed Gaza's border. The ground turns grey, the shapes of buildings disappear, there are no cars, no people. You can see the outline of communities and villages that are now flattened. Mile after mile of grey rubble. This mission by the Royal Jordanian Air Force is one of the first aid drop flights since Israel announced they could resume. It is carrying eight tonnes of food and baby formula. Foreign nations know this is a deeply flawed way of delivering aid - road convoys are far more effective and can carry far more - but the Jordanian flight crew say the need in Gaza is so urgent, it's simply an attempt to do something. When the aircraft ramp opens, the aid is pushed out and it's gone in seconds. The parachutes seem peaceful as they open and their fall slows. But dropping food from the sky is a dangerous and undignified way to feed people. On the ground it's chaos. Our colleagues in Gaza say the fighting for food has become lethal - gangs are now punching and stabbing people to reach it first. Most critically, it's not getting to the weakest. To those who really need it. One man becomes emotional as he describes racing to find food and leaving with nothing. "I came only for my son," he says. "I wouldn't come here if it was just for me. When you have a child, they need bread." He's an engineer in normal times and seems in disbelief that his life has come to this. "The aid comes from the sky and we have to run after it. I've never had to do this in my life." Read more: It is hoped Israel's will rapidly increase food distribution by road but it's very unclear how that is going. Hospitals in Gaza have reported another 14 deaths from starvation in the last 24 hours, the Gaza health ministry said on Monday. Airstrikes killed another at least 78 Palestinians across Gaza on Monday, local health officials said. We cannot verify these numbers because Israel has not allowed international journalists access to Gaza. And Monday's flight came with strict media conditions. We were told the Israeli side had warned that any shots of Gaza filmed from the air could result in these aid flights being cancelled. But Israel's tight grip has not stopped the images from Gaza getting out, horrifying people around the world. The question now is what more the international community will do about it.
