Ansu Fati packed his bags and headed to Monaco for the next season. Barcelona let their young star leave on a temporary deal that lasts one full campaign. The French club can buy him permanently if he performs well during his time there. Barcelona also gave Fati a new contract that keeps him tied to the Spanish giants until 2028. The 22-year-old forward jumped at the chance to play Champions League football again.

Dutch water specialists worked with Ghana's Water Resource Commission to make the student idea come to life.

Cabinet bosses want every government office to pay for electricity before they use it. The new rule forces state buildings to install prepaid meters or pay monthly bills on time. Energy Minister John Jinapor told Parliament that this move will help the power company collect more money. The plan targets technical losses and commercial problems that hurt the electricity sector.
