More Photo by JASPER JACOBS / BELGA MAG / Belga via AFP How to Watch Tour de France 2025 Stage 15 When: Sunday, July 20, 2025 Time: 6:30 AM ET Where: Muret > Carcassonne Live Stream: Peacock (STREAM LIVE) The 2025 Tour de France delivered another exciting day of racing on Saturday as Stage 14 tested the peloton with a brutal day in the Pyrenees. Stretching from Pau to Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet, this mountain stage featured over 4,000 meters of climbing, including the iconic Col du Tourmalet and a summit finish that reshaped the general classification standings. Defending champion Tadej Pogačar launched a signature attack on the final climb to Pla d'Adet, taking both the stage win and a time advantage over his main rivals. His powerful surge in the last kilometers helped him gain valuable seconds on yellow jersey holder Ben Healy, who did well to limit his losses and maintain his overall lead, though the gap has now shrunk to just 12 seconds. Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard also stayed in the mix, finishing close behind and keeping their podium hopes alive. Meanwhile, the day proved difficult for some of the earlier breakaway hopefuls, as the steep gradients and relentless tempo whittled down the field.

DAVID PINTENS/BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images Three-time Tour champion Tadej Pogačar finished farther back alongside main rival Vingegaard and French rider Lenny Martinez with a gap of 4 minutes, 51 seconds. It meant Healy, who claimed his first stage victory on Thursday, took the overall lead, 29 seconds ahead of Pogačar. Remco Evenepoel was third, 1:29 behind, and Vingegaard 1:46 behind in fourth. 'I'm still behind and I have to take time at one point,' said Vingegaard, who remained positive that Pogačar wasn't too far ahead. 'So far I've been able to follow all his attacks which I couldn't do in [Critérium du] Dauphiné,' Vingegaard said, referring to the traditional Tour curtain-raiser. 'I think that that shows that I have a better level now than I had in Dauphiné.' Advertisement Stage 10 took the riders on an arduous 165.3-kilometer route in the Massif Central — France's south-central highland region — from Ennezat through seven category two climbs. It finished on the ascent of Puy de Sancy — the region's highest peak — after 3.3 kilometers of an 8 percent gradient climb. French rider Julian Alaphilippe lived up to expectations with the first break on France's national day, Bastille Day, carving out a 10-second lead before he was caught on the first climb up Côte de Loubeyrat. Norwegian rider Søren Wærenskjold had to withdraw early as the tough start proved too much after his crash the day before. German rider Georg Zimmermann withdrew before the start following his crash on Sunday. His team, Intermarché-Wanty, said he 'developed signs of a concussion during the night.' Dutch sprinter Marijn van den Berg also retired due to injuries from his crash on Stage 1, EF Education-Easypost said. The riders can look forward to their first rest day on Tuesday.

Why government must act to protect Scotland's wonderful agricultural Shows

Whether you are a dyed-in-the-tweed countryside dweller or not, there are very few of us who have not gone to one of the myriad agricultural Shows (with a capital S) that are a mainstay of any respectable Scottish summer. It is an experience we are all familiar with, even if it has changed somewhat over the years. With both of my sons having left home, County Show Day in Orkney has a very different rhythm than it used to. It is amazing how much ground you can cover and how many people you can talk to when you do not have to navigate the fairground rides or avoid getting caught in your tenth bottle stall in a row. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The tradition of the agriculture Show is much-beloved but it is more fragile than we might like to think. If we are going to pass the tradition on to future generations, then our governments are going to have to step up and support rural communities better. A vet inspects the mouth of a cow to check for signs of bluetongue disease (Picture: Nicolas Maeterlinck) | BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images Farmers forced to diversify These shows say a lot about where our communities are now and where they are going in the future. When I go to the major events in the isles and across the country, the quality amongst the livestock champions and other competitors is always strong but you also get a sense of the changes coming through rural businesses. I am not sure that even a few years ago anyone could have imagined that Orkney farmers would have successful side-lines selling both wind turbines and hot tubs, but you will find both on the showground in Kirkwall. These changes appear in part because of local ingenuity but also because making a proper living through farming alone has become more difficult and more vulnerable to disruption. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Some of that disruption is hard to avoid. I spent Wednesday meeting farmers and other participants at the Great Yorkshire Show (for we are not alone in these traditions), where the usual Scottish competitors were sadly notable for their absence. Restrictions on livestock movements to reduce the spread of the bluetongue virus meant that very few folk from north of the Border were in attendance this year, save those acting as judges. Fragility of rural businesses Tempting though it might be to claim these restrictions as a conspiracy to stop the Scottish farmers from sweeping every competition category in Harrogate, bluetongue is no joke. Farmers have long memories when it comes to animal diseases and know that prevention is better – and less expensive – than what comes after it. Our governments have a role to play in helping to mitigate this sort of disruption, but they also have a duty to avoid piling on more trouble for our communities – whether that is through unhelpful tax hikes or short-sighted changes in regulation. Rural businesses are part of what defines our country but they are fragile – and if they are knocked down, the effects ripple across the whole community. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It is in everyone's interest to keep our agricultural economy going strong, local food producers doing what they do best, and Show season running every year – bottle stalls and all. Whether you live in the countryside or in a city, that ought to be something on which we can all agree.

Belgium's Prince Emmanuel, 19, revealed to have secret music career as DJ Vyntrix
The Fresh Prince of Bel-gium! Belgium's Prince Emmanuel has quietly launched a successful career as a disc jockey under the stage name DJ Vyntrix. The 19-year-old, who is the youngest son of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, has been spinning decks in his free time — and even released a handful of dance tracks in recent weeks, local outlet Het Laatste Nieuws reports. Advertisement 5 Belgium's Prince Emmanuel has quietly launched a successful career as a DJ under the stage name DJ Vyntrix. BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images Emmanuel's DJ Instagram account has surged past 10,000 followers since his secret career came to light. Last month, the young royal surprised fans with two track drops, releasing upbeat tune 'Rio' on June 16, followed by the aptly-named track, 'Palace.' Advertisement The songs credit Emmanuel de Saxe as the composer, which is a nod to Emmanuel's full name Emmanuel of Saxe-Coburg — as well as his hidden talent as a saxophonist. The teen, who is third in line to the Belgian throne, was recently able to showcase his musical offerings during a summer garden party the Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg hosted at Berg Castle. 5 The 19-year-old, who is the youngest son of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, has been spinning decks in his free time. @ The Grand Duke Henri has been throwing a series of fun soirees ahead of his abdication in October. His eldest son, Guillaume, will take over the throne. Advertisement The Belgian royals boast a close friendship with Luxembourg's royal family. Grand Duke Henri's mother, Josephine-Charlotte, was the sister of Emmanuel's grandfather, King Albert II of Belgium. 5 The young royal has released a handful of dance tracks in recent weeks. @ Emmanuel, for his part, spent a lot of his childhood surrounded by his Luxembourgish relatives. Advertisement Outside of his musical interests, the teen — who is fluent in French, Dutch, and English — boasts an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, which is comparable to a combination of demanding coursework and AP exams. The prince learned Dutch at the Eureka School in Leuven, Belgium. After successfully completing the course, he is now 'following a language and sports training at an academy abroad,' according to the royal website. 'Emmanuel loves nature and practices the following sports: skiing, tennis, windsurfing and running. He also plays the saxophone,' the site adds. 5 King Philippe and Queen Mathilde with their four children: Princess Eleonore, Prince Gabriel, Princess Elisabeth and Prince Emmanuel. Getty Images Indeed, the young royal appears to have taken on a particular interest in sports, having enrolled in a special program at a Spanish soccer academy. Last year, the teen spent time in Spain training to compete at the highest level of men's professional soccer, known as La Liga or the Primera División, HLN reported. And it looks as though brains run in the family, as Emmanuel's older sister, Princess Elisabeth, is currently enrolled at Harvard University. Advertisement The 23-year-old royal has just wrapped up her first year at the Ivy League school — and recently faced uncertainty after getting caught in the crossfire of President Trump's showdown with the prestigious Ivy League college. Elisabeth, who also goes by the title of Duchess of Brabant in her home country, was at the risk of being sent back to Belgium as part of Trump's crackdown on international students, which was blocked by a federal judge last month. 5 The teen, who is third in line to the Belgian throne, is fluent in French, Dutch, and English. Getty Images Advertisement The princess is the heir to the Belgian throne, being the eldest of four children born to King Philippe and Queen Mathilde. Before enrolling at Harvard, Elisabeth earned a history and politics degree from the University of Oxford in England.

Anheuser-Busch to invest $300 million for vets and jobs as beer-maker goes all-in on ‘Made in America'
Anheuser-Busch is planning to invest $300 million in its facilities across the U.S. It's a move the beer-maker said will bolster manufacturing jobs across the United States while also supporting veterans who are pursuing manufacturing careers. Advertisement 'This new $300 million investment in our manufacturing facilities across the U.S. is the latest example of Anheuser-Busch's commitment to strengthening our local communities by creating and sustaining jobs and driving economic prosperity,' Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth said in a statement. 'Investing in our people and in new technologies and capabilities to drive industry and economic growth is core to who we are.' Anheuser-Busch's initiative — dubbed Brewing Futures — isn't new, though the company says itrepresents the latest evolution in its effort to drive economic prosperity in the U.S. and boost domestic manufacturing. The company, which makes Budweiser, Bud Light, Busch Light and Michelob Ultra, has invested more than $2 billion in its 100 facilities in the U.S. over the past five years. It is also one of many companies that have plans to increase investment in the U.S. in recent months under the Trump administration, which has been using tariffs to encourage companies to bring manufacturing back to American soil and reduce reliance on foreign goods. Advertisement Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth (pictured) has vowed to invest $300 million towards its U.S. based facilities. BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images The company said it will expand the reach of its technical excellence center model by building a new regional facility in Columbus, Ohio. Anheuser-Busch will upskill its entire regional technical workforce over the next three years at the Columbus facility. The beer-maker said it will partner with the National Association of Manufacturers' Manufacturing Institute and local trade schools to expand technical training for manufacturing careers. 'Anheuser-Busch has been a shining example of what 'Made in America' means, and their latest investment of $300 million builds on their longtime commitment to grow our workforce and expand U.S. manufacturing,' Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement. 'They are demonstrating exactly what it means to put American workers first, setting a standard for other companies to follow.' Advertisement To help veterans, Anheuser-Busch is partnering with the Manufacturing Institute's Heroes MAKE America program to become the first American manufacturer to adopt a new digital credentialing system that translates military experience into skills needed in the manufacturing field. The beer-maker has made huge commitments towards expanding its U.S. workforce and manufacturing. Christopher Sadowski The company has long supported military members, and more than 10% of its current workforce is made up of veterans and active-duty military members, including its CEO. Whitworth — who served in the Marines before joining the CIA — was named as Anheuser-Busch chief executive in July 2021 and led the company through challenges associated with its controversial 2023 Bud Light marketing campaign featuring transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The campaign sparked a backlash and a significant boycott by consumers and public figures. It even dethroned Bud Light as the top-selling beer brand in the U.S. Advertisement Whitworth tried to move beyond the controversy by launching a slew of patriotic and humorous marketing campaigns focused on the company's broader role in American culture. These also highlighted the workers responsible for making the company's beer and its contributions to the economy and communities. Earlier this year, he penned a letter titled 'A Call for American Beers,' in which he expressed his dissatisfaction with the longstanding use of 'domestic' to describe American-made beer. He encouraged the company's distributors and partners to replace the term 'domestic' with 'American' when marketing beer, arguing that the term better reflects the industry's identity.
