Jürgen Klopp, former Liverpool manager, has announced that his two-year break has given him the energy he needs and he is ready to return as head coach of the German national team. Multiple international media outlets confirm that the German Football Association (DFB) has been in contact and reached an agreement with Jürgen Klopp to take over the German national team following Julian Nagelsmann's resignation after Germany's group stage exit from the World Cup. The only remaining step is discussions with Red Bull, Klopp's current employer where he serves as football director. On this matter, Klopp previously stated that after stepping away from coaching Liverpool since 2024, he is now fully energized and ready to return as a manager. "Two years ago I stopped because I was burnt out, but now my batteries are fully charged and I'm 100 percent ready," he said. Furthermore, Paul Joyce, the renowned Times correspondent, reported that Pep Lijnders, Klopp's former assistant manager at Liverpool, has shown strong interest in returning to work as his right-hand man in the German national team setup. Lijnders is currently without a club after parting ways with Manchester City as part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff who left the club. Previously, he had coached Red Bull Salzburg but was sacked after just 29 matches. Meanwhile, Peter Krawietz, another of Klopp's trusted assistant coaches and analyst, whose contract with RB Leipzig recently expired, is also ready to join the German national team's coaching staff.

Influencer Yo Arunee has broken her silence on her relationship with Nos Udom, appearing on Channel One 31's "Saap Show" to clarify their connection. When asked about Nos's recent statement "I love him very much," Yo laughed it off, joking that he loves animals more than anything. She explained she hasn't been ignoring his calls—he's been reaching out from unfamiliar numbers with poor connection, and she doesn't save his contact information.

The pair first met at an event where Nos, described as a kind-hearted person, was impressed by Yo's restaurant. On Valentine's Day, Nos offered to renovate her shop, which she found touching. When asked if this gesture showed he was thinking of their future, Yo teased that he was "sweet-talking" her. She mentioned struggling to maintain the shop alone for 17 years and was grateful for his help.

Yo also revealed meeting Nos's mother, who kept a welcoming drink ready. Interestingly, Yo had given Nos's mother lottery numbers based on a dream about a turtle—numbers that won 50,000 baht. However, the mother has become quieter since then. Yo joked about being treated like a "kitchen maid," sitting on the floor rather than the sofa during visits.

Regarding a viral moment when Yo wore a wedding dress on stage, she explained Nos had encouraged her to appear on the talk show to gain confidence. She wasn't initially willing but he insisted she attend at least twice. The wedding dress was part of the show's entertainment, and she felt obligated to repay his kindness after he fixed her broken fan.

The commanders of Thailand's Second and Third Army Regions visited the Thai-Cambodian border on Sunday to inspect troop deployments, assess the security situation and pay tribute to soldiers who died protecting the country's sovereignty.

Lt. Gen. Weerayut Raksilp, commander of the Second Army Region, and Lt. Gen. Worathep Boonya, commander of the Third Army Region, visited operational areas at Ta Muen Thom temple, Ta Kwai temple and Hill 350, where troops from the Third Army Region have been deployed to support security operations under the Second Army Region.

The commanders received briefings on the latest situation, monitored ongoing operations and met troops stationed along the border, including personnel from the Thailand Mine Action Center (TMAC) under the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters.

During the visit, Lt. Gen. Worathep told troops their mission was vital to Thailand's national security and urged them to remain prepared, carry out their duties with determination and continue safeguarding the country's sovereignty.

Following the inspection, the two commanders and senior officers laid wreaths at memorials at Hill 350 and Ta Kwai temple in honour of soldiers who lost their lives while carrying out their duties. The ceremony included a moment of silence to pay tribute to their sacrifice.

The visit formed part of the army's ongoing efforts to monitor the security situation, support frontline personnel and maintain operational readiness along the Thai-Cambodian border.

As delivery approaches, actress May Pichyanutte has provided an update on her pregnancy symptoms at the six-month mark. Despite reaching this milestone, she reports that her morning sickness shows no signs of disappearing, and she's shared ultrasound images to document her progress.

According to her latest report: At six months pregnant, her nausea remains unchanged. She experiences sensitivity to toothpaste and gags while brushing her teeth in the morning and evening, though the episodes have become less severe. She's dealing with constant drowsiness, sleeping as much as possible but still feeling tired, and even falls asleep while riding in cars. Her belly has grown considerably.

She's started light exercise again and has been taking on occasional work commitments, primarily attending hospital appointments and wedding events. She also celebrated her birthday belated and attended a close friend's birthday celebration.

Investigation into the drug trafficking operation linked to a Thai Airways flight attendant is advancing rapidly, with several arrests already made. Authorities must identify everyone involved—those delivering heroin in Thai elephant-patterned bags to airline staff, drivers, and all other accomplices—to fully dismantle the network from source to destination. Complete dismantling is crucial to restore Thailand's reputation, as the case has severely damaged public confidence in air travel and Thailand's international standing, particularly with Australia, the intended destination. If Thai authorities cooperate effectively in combating this, it could improve bilateral relations.

Investigations increasingly suggest the flight attendant was deceived into accepting a courier job without knowing heroin was hidden inside, which may help reduce her sentence somewhat. However, this incident must serve as an expensive lesson for airline crew. Accepting courier work violates regulations, but if it involves international drug trafficking as in this case, the consequences are severe imprisonment with a ruined future.

Police must now demonstrate their ability to pursue the investigation to the masterminds behind the operation. Progress so far deserves praise for the Royal Thai Police's Central Investigation Bureau, Metropolitan Police, and Drug Suppression Police, led by Deputy Police Commissioner General Samran Nulma, National Police Chief General Siam Bunyasom, Drug Suppression Police Chief General Achayan Kraithong, and other senior officers, particularly Deputy Commissioner Samran, who has demonstrated comprehensive investigative skill.

While dismantling the drug smuggling network to Australia continues, border security and airport screening measures must be significantly intensified. Suvarnabhumi Airport, with its massive daily passenger traffic, must balance convenience for international tourists with strengthened narcotics detection—requiring more drug-detection dogs and enhanced screening protocols. The heroin source originates across borders from neighboring countries. Interdiction along Thailand's extensive borders and natural passages remains difficult, but targeting production facilities would be the most effective solution. The government must address this matter seriously.
