Britain handed Ukraine the missile plans, and Russia named Britain a target

World

The truth: Britain did not send more missiles this week.

Finance

The truth: The same American output was split differently: owners took a record share, workers a record low, and the share prices offered as the offset are a claim on that split.

Tech

The truth: Nvidia is not buying a business that makes much money.

Mind & body

The truth: The dying is normal and constant.

Climate

The truth: The Army is paying to bring a reactor into existence that no electricity buyer would order, because what it wants is not cheap power but power nobody can cut off.

Space

The truth: Europe is three times more expensive per kilogram to orbit, and its answer is 543.6m euros split between three rockets that have never flown.

Biotech

The truth: Ageing research is converging on one commercial target - people who cannot exercise, cannot diet and cannot wait - and three separate papers this week each offered a way to skip the effort.

Money

The truth: A co-signature is asked for as a favour that costs nothing unless things go wrong; in law it is simply a second person the lender may collect from first.

Sports

The truth: A league too new to outbid anyone for players paid them in shares instead, and the shares only became the story once other people started buying them.

Gaming

The truth: An industry is diagnosing its own collapse using only the survivors.

Food

The truth: Russia's harvest did not fail; its ports closed, so the world's biggest wheat seller is sitting on a record crop while the world's biggest wheat buyer learns to load somewhere else.

Cyber

The truth: A break-in at three UK airports turned into a negotiation between two organisations.
