Gold has surged above $4,000 (£2,985) an ounce, setting a historic record. Investors are flocking to the precious metal as political tensions and economic uncertainty rattle global markets. The rally marks gold’s strongest rise since the 1970s. Prices have climbed nearly one-third since April, when US President Donald Trump’s tariffs disrupted global trade and unsettled financial systems. US shutdown escalates market anxiety The US government shutdown, now in its second week, is fueling uncertainty in markets worldwide. Analysts say delays in key economic data releases have intensified investor caution. Gold, long regarded as a safe haven, continues to benefit from…
“Half of my life is on this app and now they expect us to pay for it.” That comment reflects the frustration among Snapchat users after the company announced plans to charge for storing old photos and videos. Many say the platform is monetizing nostalgia and betraying loyal users. Users forced to pay for memories In September, Snap, Snapchat’s parent company, revealed that users with more than five gigabytes of saved Memories will need to pay. For many, these images and videos capture years of milestones, friendships, and personal moments, making the change feel like a betrayal. Snap defended the…
The United States has dominated the global technology market for decades. Now China is determined to challenge that dominance. The world’s second-largest economy is investing billions in artificial intelligence and robotics. Its central goal is to produce high-end chips that can compete with the world’s most advanced technology. Last month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that China was only “nanoseconds behind” the U.S. in chip development. Beijing is racing to narrow the gap and reduce its dependence on imported technology. DeepSeek Highlights China’s AI Progress In 2024, the Chinese startup DeepSeek surprised the tech world by launching a competitor to…
A vision for sustainable global nutrition By 2050, every person could access nutritious, culturally appropriate food while protecting the environment. The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets From Sustainable Food Systems presents the “planetary health diet” as a solution. The report finds that combining this diet with sustainable farming and reduced food waste could feed 9.6 billion people equitably. Researchers from more than 35 countries contributed, showing that global food-related greenhouse gas emissions could fall by over half if nations act together. Currently, about 30% of emissions come from producing, processing, and transporting food, with the rest mostly from fossil…
Electric car sales in the UK soared to record highs in September, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). The latest figures show electric and hybrid vehicles now dominate new registrations, marking a decisive step toward cleaner, low-emission transport. Electric and hybrid models drive growth Fully electric car sales jumped by nearly a third to 72,779 last month. Plug-in hybrid models grew even faster, lifting the combined share of electric and hybrid vehicles to over half of all new registrations. The SMMT said stronger discounts, a wider selection of models, and the government’s grant scheme fueled the…
A human rights group claims TikTok recommends pornography and sexualised videos to minors. Researchers created fake child accounts, enabled safety settings, and still received explicit search prompts. These included clips of simulated masturbation and pornographic sex. TikTok says it acted immediately once alerted and insists it prioritises safe, age-appropriate experiences for young users. Fake child profiles uncover explicit material In July and August, Global Witness researchers set up four TikTok accounts. They posed as 13-year-olds using false birth dates. The platform did not request additional identification. Investigators enabled TikTok’s “restricted mode”. The company promotes this feature as protection against sexual…
Elon Musk has become the first person to surpass a personal fortune of $500bn. The milestone comes as Tesla and his other ventures soared in value this year. His wealth briefly touched $500.1bn on Wednesday afternoon in New York. It later slipped slightly to just over $499bn, according to Forbes’ billionaires index. Musk’s other companies, including the AI startup xAI and rocket firm SpaceX, have also seen strong gains in valuation in recent months. Musk dominates global wealth rankings The milestone secures Musk’s place as the richest individual on the planet. He remains far ahead of other tech industry leaders.…
The sunscreen scandal in Australia is intensifying. Regulators have already removed 18 products from shelves over safety concerns. Popular sunscreens fail protection tests In June, a consumer advocacy group revealed that several leading sunscreens did not provide the advertised protection. Ultra Violette’s Lean Screen Skinscreen claimed SPF 50+ but tested at just SPF 4. The company recalled it voluntarily in August. The medicines regulator has since identified 20 more sunscreens from different brands. All used the same base formula, which performed poorly in testing. SPF levels far below claims Preliminary tests showed the formula rarely delivered more than SPF 21.…
Donald Trump renewed his threat to impose a 100% tariff on all films produced outside the United States. He claimed other countries had “stolen” the American film industry. The president said California suffered heavily and the tariff would “solve this long time, never ending problem.” In May, Trump promised to discuss the plan with Hollywood executives and begin imposing the levy, warning that America’s film industry faced a “very fast death.” Tariff Plans Extend Across Industries Trump announced a new wave of tariffs last week. Measures include a 100% levy on branded or patented drug imports and 50% tariffs on…
Insider threats remain one of the most dangerous tactics in cyber-crime. Few employees encounter them, and even fewer reveal their experiences. I recently became one of those rare cases. A criminal group approached me with a bold offer: betray my employer for millions. Unsolicited contact The first message arrived unexpectedly. “If you are interested, we can offer you 15% of any ransom payment if you give us access to your PC.” The sender called themselves Syndicate. They contacted me in July via Signal, an encrypted messaging app. I did not know them, but I immediately understood their goal. They wanted…
