/ 04:27/E1041
Pokémon is celebrating its 30th anniversary with the announcement of its tenth generation of games, Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves. These titles will feature three new starter creatures—Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua—and are slated for release on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console. In the world of sports, the UEFA Champions League knockout stage is officially set following the Round of 16 draw in Nyon, Switzerland. Highlight matchups include Manchester City versus Real Madrid for the fifth consecutive year and top-seeded Arsenal facing Bayer Leverkusen. Meanwhile, economic data from the United Kingdom shows a concerning rise in the number of young people not in education, employment, or training. Approximately 957,000 individuals aged 16 to 24, or 12.8% of the demographic, are now classified as NEET. This increase is largely driven by a growing number of young women entering the category amid a weakening jobs market for graduates and hospitality workers.
