In the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 semi-final first leg on April 29, Atletico Madrid hosted Arsenal at Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano. In the 14th minute, Atletico nearly took the lead when Matteo Ruggeri drove down the left flank and crossed to Julian Alvarez near the penalty area, but David Raya made a crucial save. Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute when Victor Yeqereres was fouled by David Sancho in the box, allowing Yeqereres to convert the penalty and give Arsenal a 1-0 halftime lead.

In the second half, Atletico equalized in the 56th minute after a VAR check confirmed a handball by Ben White in the 55th minute, with Julian Alvarez scoring the resulting penalty. The match remained tightly contested, with Atletico nearly taking the lead in the 63rd minute when Ademo Lukman set up Antoine Griezmann, whose shot hit the post. In the 78th minute, another penalty was initially awarded to Arsenal for a foul by David Sancho on Eberechi Eze, but VAR overturned the decision. Arsenal came close again in the 87th minute with Christian Moskaera's header being parried by Jan Oblak. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with the second leg scheduled for May 5 at the Emirates Stadium.

At 6:00 PM on April 29, 2025, the Samut Prakan Provincial Rescue Center received a report of a man running and jumping in front of a bus in Muang Mai housing community, Bang Saothong Sub-district, Bang Saothong District, Samut Prakan Province. Rescue volunteers and Bang Saothong Police Station personnel responded to assist.

At the scene, officers found 31-year-old Yongyuth (surname withheld) with abrasions across his body and a headache. Rescue teams provided initial first aid before transporting him to Bangna 2 Hospital. A Bangkok-registered employee transport bus sustained damage to its front windshield from the collision.

When questioned, Yongyuth claimed he caused the incident due to mental distress and anxiety stemming from military training trauma he experienced years earlier, which he said caused brain damage, ringing ears, and confusion. He stated he had slept poorly the previous night and had not consumed alcohol.

Bus driver Somsak, 36, reported that he was transporting employees when Yongyuth suddenly ran and jumped, hitting the front windshield and cracking it. Upon stopping to check, Yongyuth raised his hand in apology and said, "I'm sorry, I lost control."

However, upon arrival at Bangna 2 Hospital, Yongyuth experienced another episode of distress, attempting to jump in front of vehicles and attacking ambulance personnel and hospital staff. He had to be physically restrained and tied to a chair. Hospital officials were being consulted regarding whether to press charges against him.

At 4:00 PM on April 29, 2025, staff from the Udon Bright Dharma Foundation received a call for help regarding a python that had attempted to attack a cat before hiding in the wheel of a parked white Toyota Vios, license plate 3483, in front of a home on Soi Wuthi Anan 8 in Udon Thani Municipality. Rescue volunteers responded to the scene where neighbors were already searching for the snake lodged near the front left wheel. Using flashlights and equipment, rescue personnel carefully worked to extract the snake by gently pushing its head downward through the gap, eventually grabbing it securely and pulling it free from the vehicle. The python weighed approximately 5 kilograms and was subsequently placed in a bag and released back into its natural habitat.

The car owner, Ms. Kittiyaporn, 29, explained that she initially spotted her cat acting frightened and running away from the front of the vehicle. Upon investigation, she discovered the large python with its tongue flicking beneath the car. Her attempts to dislodge it with a stick only caused it to wedge deeper into a narrow crevice, prompting her to call for professional rescue assistance. Once successfully extracted, Ms. Kittiyaporn decided to try her luck with the vehicle's license plate number 3483 in the lottery, a decision her neighbors enthusiastically embraced by photographing the plate themselves for the same purpose.

Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to challenge a four-year ban imposed by the English Football Association (FA), hoping to return to action next season.

Mudryk tested positive for a banned substance in a urine test and received a provisional ban in December 2024. He was formally charged in June 2025, leading the FA to announce the four-year ban.

Having already served approximately 18 months of the ban, Mudryk would not be eligible to return until December 2028 if the ban stands unchanged. However, the Ukrainian international has now appealed to CAS, hoping to get back on the pitch as soon as possible next season.

CAS confirmed in a statement: "CAS can confirm that it has received an appeal from Mykhailo Mudryk. The parties involved are currently exchanging necessary documentation, and a hearing date has not yet been set."

While the FA has not disclosed details of the case, the BBC reported that Mudryk allegedly used meldonium during his time playing for Ukraine in October 2024. This substance is used to treat heart and cardiovascular conditions and is known to enhance respiratory capacity and physical endurance.

Fans have expressed concern after seeing comedian Nong Chachcha's noticeably slimmer appearance, with many wondering if he was ill. On April 29, 2025, Nong appeared at the premiere of "Heng Chia Jazz" and addressed the speculation directly, confirming his health is excellent.

Nong explained his decision to get serious about self-care after turning 50. He revealed he previously weighed 103 kilograms, with a peak weight of 113 kilograms, before committing to natural weight loss methods. His approach focused on controlling his diet, cutting rice and fried foods, and using daily walking as his primary exercise. The result: a 23-kilogram loss in just three months, bringing him down to 80 kilograms.

When asked about rumors that he used gastric banding or other procedures, Nong dismissed them, saying he chose the natural approach due to concerns about side effects and his belief that discipline alone can do the job. "If you have discipline, you can take care of yourself without relying on innovations," he said.

Responding to fans' concerns about his appearance, Nong acknowledged: "People worry a lot, asking if I'm sick or if something's wrong. They say I look too thin. But I used to be very heavy—when you lose weight after being that big, your face and body change dramatically. I'm actually thinking of gaining back about 5 kilograms so I have more definition in my cheeks."

Nong attributed his dramatic transformation to strict dietary control while allowing himself occasional indulgences. He emphasized that his daily walking—moving between work locations and visiting friends—serves as adequate exercise. When asked to rate his current health on a scale of 100, he gave himself 95, noting his knees no longer hurt and his body feels more agile. "Before, at 103 kilograms, I couldn't even jump because my knees hurt. Now there's no sound in my knees anymore," he said.
