Dear PA reader,

Nike’s latest pop-up in Guangzhou serves runners Cantonese herbal broth (even with Nike-logo spoons). Google just unveiled Gemini 3, a so-called “multimodal” AI claimed to be its most intelligent model yet. Birmingham City FC’s new owners have revealed a jaw-dropping £3 billion “Powerhouse Stadium” plan – a 62,000-seat arena encircled by twelve towering chimneys and topped with a retractable roof.

In Abu Dhabi, pop artist KAWS has installed a monumental 32-meter inflatable Companion figure holding a glowing moon on the Mina Zayed waterfront, which playfully nods to the Gulf’s maritime heritage of navigating by moon and stars. In China’s Zhejiang province, a new Anji International Convention & Exhibition Centre has risen with sweeping, curved roofs that mimic split bamboo strips and the rolling hills beyond. Official statements confirm the precautionary closure of the Campana Gallery at the Louvre Museum, home to ancient Greek ceramics, following safety audits that identified structural vulnerabilities.
