The ever-increasing number of games, combined with financial regulation, has produced flat play on the field but a tighter table overall Sign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson here A constant feature of this season has been the background grumble of dissatisfaction. You don’t have to spend long on social media to see moans about the quality of play, the sense that everything has somehow gone backwards since the tactical focus began to shift away from the pure possession and positional football of the peak Pep Guardiola years to something more direct and focused on set plays. And yet, as we enter the run-in, there appears to be a proper Premier League title race. There is an extremely competitive battle to finish in the top five and qualify for next season’s Champions League and, although Wolves and Burnley are probably doomed, there are four teams scrapping to avoid that last relegation slot with another three glancing a little nervously over their shoulders.

Monty Rakusen A former aircraft-parts broker was sentenced Monday to more than four years in prison for distributing tens of thousands of counterfeit components to airlines around the world, a scheme that forced carriers to ground planes and dismantle engines to locate suspect parts. Jose Alejandro Zamora Yrala, the former director of AOG Technics Ltd., received a four-year, eight-month sentence at Southwark Crown Court in London. He had pleaded guilty in December to one count of fraudulent trading, an offense that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years behind bars. In court, Zamora Yrala spoke only to confirm his identity. Prosecutors said the 38-year-old sold approximately 60,000 falsified aircraft components between 2019 and 2023, causing an estimated £40 million ($54 million) in losses. Authorities described how Zamora Yrala operated the business from his home near London, supplying parts that were either entirely counterfeit or accompanied by forged documentation designed to conceal their true origin. Investigators said the scheme exploited vulnerabilities in the tightly regulated global aviation supply chain. The case gained international attention after fabricated certification paperwork was uncovered. Airlines including Delta Air Lines ( DAL ), American Airlines ( AAL ) and Ryanair ( RYAAY ) ( RYAOF ) later identified AOG-supplied parts installed on their aircraft, triggering costly inspections and engine teardowns. Some of the questionable components were fitted into CFM International’s CFM56 engines, which power widely used aircraft models such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. Engineers at TAP Air Portugal’s maintenance division first flagged irregularities in 2023, prompting a broader industry review as other carriers reported similar findings. Safran ( SAFRF ) ( SAFRY ), which manufactures CFM engines through a joint venture with GE Aerospace ( GE ), has said that falsified documents were used to misrepresent the condition and origin of certain parts.

Progress towards reliable deepfake labelling tech is sluggish, despite all the “help” from AI providers. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images As 2025 drew to a close, Instagram head Adam Mosseri ended the year by doom-posting about AI. "Authenticity is becoming infinitely reproducible," Mosseri lamented . "Everything that made creators matter - the ability to be real, to connect, to have a voice that couldn't be faked - is now accessible to anyone with the right tools." But people, Mosseri insisted, still wanted "content that feels real." His proposed solution was finding a way to label real media. "Camera manufacturers will cryptographically sign images at capture, creating a chain of custody," he said. The result would be a trustworthy system for determining what's not AI.

Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Nvidia’s Q4 2026 earnings preview According to Visible Alpha consensus, NVIDIA Corp.'s ( NVDA ) total revenues for fiscal Q4 2026 are expected at $57.0 billion. Overall revenue growth continues to be driven by optimism about the strength of Nvidia’s Data Center segment. This segment has seen its expected top-line performance for Q4 increase from $52.7 billion in June 2025 to its current projection of $60.1 billion, up almost 15%. However, recently, the Data Center segment’s expected revenues for Q4 moderated since the November quarter. Based on Visible Alpha consensus, Data Center revenue estimates in Q4 2026 range from $56.9 billion to $62.6 billion. The expected revenue growth continues to be driven by strong demand for its GPUs from cloud service providers and the move to accelerated computing in the data centers for AI. However, there are questions around the outlook for Nvidia’s new solution, Blackwell, that claims to significantly reduce energy consumption and cost for customers. There have been concerns about the timing of Blackwell’s growth and the total addressable market (TAM) for this solution. The debate is captured in the range of revenue estimates for the B-series. From 15 sources, these forecasts range from $7.1 billion to $53.8 billion in Q4, with consensus at $33.5 billion. Due to differing views about the potential and ramp for Blackwell, there is debate about the performance of the Data Center segment going forward. Blackwell revenue is expected to jump from around $7.1 billion last year to $93.7 billion this year. It will be important to see Q4’s Blackwell performance and outlook for Q1 and the rest of FY 2027. The total Data Center revenues for FY 2027 of $311.0 billion have moved higher due to the increase in FY 2027 B-series expectations. The Data Center revenue consensus may be impacted by the higher 31 source count for the Data Center revenues, compared to the 13 sources that provide estimates for...

李瀚明:最高法院出于平衡司法和行政负担的考虑,没有做出明确的禁令性规定。这使得特朗普关税相关的争议,还要持续好一段日子。 李瀚明 为FT中文网撰稿 这个春节美国是真的不太平。首先是年二十六的时候国土安全部(DHS)的临时拨款法案到期,使得包括海关CBP在内的整个国土安全部进入了半断粮状态。虽然去年的美丽大法案给了CBP和ICE不少钱,但这些钱在内部分配上更多是用于边境巡逻(CBP中的BP,Border Protection)和抓捕非法移民(ICE),没有给到海关(CBP中的C,Customs)。其次是年初四最高法院判案,讲IEEPA关税没有法律授权,是违法行为。 两者加在一起,搞得美国的海关现在是又没钱又多事,忙着更新征税规则和系统忙得鸡飞狗跳。这对外国出口商和美国进口商有何影响呢? 首先我们从判决书说起。在判决结论中需要留意的是,尽管最高法院承认没有法律授权,但是没有就这个案子判决任何补救(Remedy)或者禁制令(Injunction)——最高法院原文以缺乏管辖权为由,废除(vacated)并发回重审(remanded)了带有禁制令的华盛顿特区联邦地区法院判决(24-1287);而对于「尚未做出最终决定」(例如是否应该要求CBP将关税退款给进口商)的国际贸易法院判决,最高法院则予以确认(affirmed)。 读者朋友读到这里可以留意到最高法院判决的微妙之处——最高法院认为IEEPA关税违法,但对纠正不做明确要求。换言之,最高法院将皮球踢给了进口商:想要回关税?自己另外告去。至于为什么没有这么做,Kavanaugh大法官在他的不同意见书中提到了这一点。 The United States may be required to refund billions of dollars to importers who paid the IEEPA tariffs, even though some importers may have already passed on costs to consumers or others. As was acknowledged at oral argument, the refund process is likely to be a “mess.” 美国可能需要向已缴纳《国际紧急经济权力法》(IEEPA)关税的进口商退还数十亿...
