The six-wheeled rover passed the previous record of 28.06 miles, set by NASA’s Opportunity rover.

Perseverance reached the mark in five and a half years, while Opportunity took nearly 15 years to cover its distance.

Perseverance landed in Jezero Crater in 2021 to explore Mars and investigate whether conditions there once supported microbial life.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix says good and bad play can be a matter of narrative rather than a clear difference in how he performs.

The team has also built a record of turning games around: since 2025, it has the NFL’s most comeback wins, with 15.

Dean Saunders says he is still seeking answers about the death of his brother Ben and the events around his funeral.

Ben, a singer who won the first season of The Voice of Holland, died aged 43 on 15 September.

Dean said he had heard that Ben may have wanted to end his relationship and that an argument may have happened on the night he died, but these claims have not been independently confirmed.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has confirmed 9,066 Ebola cases and 4,381 deaths, according to Health Ministry figures released Tuesday.

The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain, has spread across seven provinces and is the country’s largest and deadliest on record.

There is no approved vaccine or treatment for this strain, and fighting, shortages and mistrust are hindering efforts to contain it.

Fear of Ebola is also leading some women to skip prenatal care or give birth at home, while children miss routine vaccinations.
