TL;DR – Two-minute read
Raheem Sterling joined Feyenoord on a short-term contract in January 2026 after terminating his deal with Chelsea. The England international had not featured for the Blues in the first half of the season and was training alone. Dirk Kuyt expressed hope for Sterling’s revival under Robin van Persie following several years of underperformance.
Raheem Sterling has joined Feyenoord on a short-term deal until the end of the season after terminating his contract with Chelsea. This move comes after the 31-year-old forward failed to make a single appearance for Chelsea during the first half of the campaign, being effectively frozen out following three-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge.
According to UK News, Sterling was pictured watching from the stands as Feyenoord secured a 1-0 victory against Go Ahead Eagles this weekend, restoring their three-point lead over third-placed Ajax in the Eredivisie. However, he is still awaiting a work permit, which currently prohibits him from training or playing with his new team-mates.
Dirk Kuyt expresses hope for Sterling
Ex-Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt commented on Sterling’s transfer, saying he “didn’t like” the forward during their time at Liverpool but hopes to see him thrive at Feyenoord under coach Robin van Persie. Kuyt noted that despite his previous feelings towards Sterling, he regards him as “a fantastic player in English football with a tremendous record.”
Kuyt stated he is not surprised by Sterling’s move, adding, “In the world of football, you have to expect everything, even the unexpected.” He expressed optimism about Sterling’s potential return to form, stating, “If his fitness is okay… I’m looking forward to watching Feyenoord’s matches.”
Sterling reflects on his move
In his first interview as a Feyenoord player, Raheem Sterling shared that a conversation with Robin van Persie gave him a “very good feeling” about the move. He emphasised the importance of dialogue in understanding what each other needs, stating, “For me, it’s not a very hard decision… Football is about feelings and I think I just had a very good feeling.”
Feyenoord is set to host their next fixture in the Eredivisie, with fans keen to see how Sterling’s situation develops as he awaits his work permit.

### Australian Man Caught Plucking Armpit Hair to Claim Free Meal
A high-end steak restaurant has posted CCTV footage of a father apparently plucking an armpit hair and putting it on his food before complaining.
Pony Dining in The Rocks in Sydney, Australia, said the family of six demanded a refund before walking out without paying, after making a complaint about a hair in their food on Wednesday night.
The footage shared online appeared to show a man in a white polo shirt looking around before reaching into his armpits and pulling strands of hair out.
‘We don’t usually share content like this,’ the restaurant captioned the CCTV.
‘This footage shows an incident which occurred in our venue. After the meal was served, the guest later raised a complaint regarding a hair in their meal and declined payment for all the food.’

‘During the interaction, our team also experienced inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour.’
They added that the group had ordered some of their most expensive food, including a Tomahawk steak, which costs up to £100.
‘Everything was very clean; they had a beautiful table,’ a representative told news.com.au.
‘We decided to check the CCTV after we noticed they were acting very weird.’
‘They ordered a lot of food including a Tomahawk. We tried to make them pay but he refused.’
‘We called the police; however, at that time we didn’t have the footage, so police advised it was a civil problem and nothing they could do at that stage. So they paid for drinks then left.’
Some called for the patron to be named and shamed, while hospitality workers shared their horror stories.
‘I’m a restaurant manager just next to you guys, and they did the exact same thing to me,’ one wrote.
‘They “found a small rock” in their food and created a huge scene, then left without paying the full bill.’
The Argentinian-inspired restaurant is known for its legendary beef cuts and fresh seafood in the Australian city.

Hungary’s opposition leader Magyar calls for privacy protection in latest campaign speech
Hungary’s Main Opposition Leader Calls for Respect of Privacy
Péter Magyar, the leader of Hungary’s Tisza Party, held a campaign event in Budapest on Sunday, urging the government to respect citizens’ privacy amid allegations of blackmail from government figures. This development occurs as opinion polls indicate Magyar’s party is leading ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for 12th April.
The significance of Magyar’s statements is underscored by his accusations that he was blackmailed with a secretly recorded sex tape. He emphasised the importance of the upcoming election, suggesting that the government’s tactics reflect their fear of losing power.
Magyar Accuses Government of Underhanded Tactics
Magyar alleged that the ruling Fidesz party, led by Viktor Orbán, is resorting to “disgusting things” to discredit him. He stated, “If you want Viktor Orbán to spy in your bedroom, then feel free to vote for the ruling Fidesz party,” highlighting the personal nature of the allegations.
The opposition leader called for an electoral debate with Orbán and cautioned that if his private life can be exposed, others may be at risk as well. He further described the upcoming elections as the “biggest party of the decade,” targeting younger voters and encouraging them to mark the election date.
Magyar Rejects Government’s War Narrative
During his campaign, Magyar dismissed the government’s claims that an opposition victory would pull Hungary into war. He asserted that his party would oppose military conscription and condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but affirmed that Hungary would not be drawn into the conflict.
Additionally, Magyar reiterated his commitment to maintaining border barriers to prevent illegal migration and stated that his party does not support the European Union’s migration pact or Ukraine’s expedited accession to the EU.
Magyar Discusses Plans with European Leaders
Magyar recently attended the Munich Security Conference, where he met with European leaders, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. He discussed his party’s future plans and stressed the importance of securing EU funds for Hungary.
He also pledged to implement strict anti-corruption measures and ensure judicial independence, freedom of the press, and the integrity of higher education. Furthermore, he reiterated his position regarding Ukraine’s EU aspirations during his talks at the conference.

• Kaja Kallas, Estonia’s Prime Minister, rejected claims of Europe’s civilisational decline at the Munich Security Conference on 15 February 2026.
• Kallas referred to “European bashing” in international discourse, highlighting excellent living standards and societal achievements.
• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed concerns about Europe’s policies, particularly regarding migration and climate change, during the same conference.
• Kallas noted ongoing interest from countries like Ukraine in joining the EU, countering notions of decline.
• She cautioned against rewarding Russia in upcoming negotiations in Geneva, emphasising the threat it poses.
Kallas says ‘Europe is not facing civilisational erasure’ in rebuke to US bashing
Kaja Kallas, the Prime Minister of Estonia, rejected claims that Europe is facing a civilisational decline that could lead to its disappearance, responding to US criticism on 15 February 2026 at the Munich Security Conference. Her comments are significant as they counter a narrative suggesting that the continent requires renewal due to ineffective policies, particularly concerning migration and climate initiatives.
During a panel discussion hosted by Euronews, Kallas addressed what she termed constant “European bashing” and highlighted the continent’s excellent standards of living and societal achievements. Her remarks came after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the collective West needs renewal, citing migration and climate policies as areas needing reform.
Kallas Defends European Values Amid US Criticism
Kaja Kallas stated that Rubio’s remarks appeared aimed at both Europe and a domestic audience in the United States. While she acknowledged the importance of transatlantic unity, she noted that “we don’t see eye to eye on all issues” while defending European values.
Kallas also referred to the Press Freedom Index, emphasising Estonia’s position at number two, compared to the US, which ranks 58th. She further argued that the European Union remains an attractive political project for many countries, including Ukraine and those in the Western Balkans, signifying strength rather than decline.
Kallas Addresses Russia’s Negotiation Tactics
Kaja Kallas warned against rewarding Russia during upcoming negotiations mediated by the United States. She expressed concern that if Russia gains more at the negotiation table than it has on the battlefield, it would pose a significant threat.
“Today, Russia is broken,” Kallas asserted, emphasising the need for caution in future diplomatic engagements.
