Meta will activate a new alert system for families on Instagram. The platform will inform parents when teenagers repeatedly search for suicide or self-harm related terms. Meta connects the feature to its existing Teen Account supervision tools. The company positions the move as a stronger step toward youth protection. Until now, Instagram blocked specific keywords and redirected users to external support services. Meta now expands that system with direct parental notifications. Families enrolled in Teen Accounts in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada will start receiving alerts next week. The company plans to extend the feature to additional regions in…

De Niro Voices Concern Over Trump’s Presidency Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro spoke out against Donald Trump following the State of the Union, warning that the president “will never leave” office and urging Americans to act.

Aston Martin will cut up to 20% of its workforce as it tries to save about £40m. The move could affect around 500 employees and follows 170 job cuts made early last year. The luxury carmaker announced the reductions after reporting pre-tax losses of £363.9m for 2025. Losses rose sharply from £289.1m the previous year as demand weakened and US tariffs increased pressure. The company said it had already reviewed its structure at the start of 2025. It later decided further changes were necessary to prepare for future plans. Chief executive Adrian Hallmark called the cuts an important step toward…

Strengthening European Security President Emmanuel Macron is set to unveil plans for France to play a more active role in Europe’s nuclear deterrence. Speaking from the Île Longue peninsula, where France’s four nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines are stationed, Macron is expected to emphasize that his country’s efforts would complement — not replace — the US nuclear umbrella. This will be his first major address on the subject since 2020, when he first suggested involving willing European partners in nuclear exercises, an idea that initially went largely unnoticed. Rising Concerns Amid Global Tensions Interest in France’s nuclear role has grown amid…

Paramount Skydance has increased its offer to acquire Warner Bros Discovery and is trying to push Netflix out of the takeover race. The new bid could determine control of one of Hollywood’s largest media companies. Warner Bros said Paramount agreed to raise its offer by one dollar per share. The board said the bid could reasonably lead to a superior proposal. Warner Bros will hold further talks before deciding whether to abandon the deal it signed with Netflix in December. Netflix has four days to submit a counter-offer and did not comment immediately. Netflix Maintains Caution and Avoids Bidding War…

Gulf Support Strengthens Kuwait’s Position Kuwait has received strong backing from Gulf neighbors as tensions with Iraq escalate over contested sea borders. The dispute intensified after Baghdad submitted new coordinates and a map to the United Nations, claiming waters that Kuwait says belong to it, including the Fasht al-Qaid and Fasht al-Aij shoals. Countries including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman have publicly supported Kuwait, urging all parties to respect international law. Iraq Pushes Its Case Iraq insists that its submission aligns with its maritime rights and international regulations. Iraqi officials also noted that Kuwait had…

US President Donald Trump has introduced a new global tariff set at ten percent. The tariff came into force after the Supreme Court blocked many of his earlier import taxes on Friday. Trump signed an executive order just hours after the ruling to impose the levy from 24 February. He later threatened to raise the tariff to fifteen percent but has not issued an official directive to increase the rate. The White House has not confirmed whether the higher rate will take effect. Emergency Trade Powers and Market Uncertainty The administration applies the levy under Section 122 of the 1974…

Unlicensed gambling companies could lose the right to sponsor Premier League clubs under new government plans. Ministers launched a consultation after a series of controversies and regulatory concerns. Several top-flight teams, including Everton, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently display brands linked to online casinos or bookmakers without a British licence. Clubs have already agreed to remove all gambling logos from the front of shirts after this season. The voluntary ban will not cover sleeve sponsorships or other commercial partnerships. That gap would still allow unlicensed firms to promote their brands through English football. The government now wants to close that…

Legal Uncertainty Sparks Parliamentary Freeze The European Parliament has suspended its work on the 2025 EU-US trade agreement following a US Supreme Court ruling that deemed some of Washington’s tariffs illegal. The decision prompted President Donald Trump to announce new 15% import duties, leaving European lawmakers questioning the deal’s validity. German MEP Bernd Lange, chair of the parliamentary trade committee, said the “legal basis has totally changed” and called for a clear commitment from the US before the pact can move forward. Deal Faces Criticism and History of Delays Originally signed in July 2025 by Ursula von der Leyen and…
