Leicester and Nottingham officers accept they missed opportunities to act on earlier warrant Two police forces have apologised to bereaved families and survivors of the Nottingham attacks for failing to act on an arrest warrant for Valdo Calocane that was issued 10 months before he killed three people, a public inquiry has heard. NHS England and the NHS trust that cared for Calocane, who has paranoid schizophrenia, also apologised to the families over missed opportunities. “The NHS and the system as a whole failed you with devastating consequences,” the lawyer representing NHS England said.

We are buying 30 shares of Capital One at roughly $192, increasing the weighting in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust to 3% from 2.85% and increasing our COF share count to 610. We are buying 25 shares of Wells Fargo at roughly $84, increasing the weighting in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust to 3.47% from 3.41% and increasing our WFC share count to 1,625. After this latest purchase of 30 Capital One shares, we will have bought back all 60 shares we sold in late December at around $242 each. We bought the first half last Wednesday at $208 per share. The stock was clobbered on Monday after a report from Citrini Research outlined a scenario in which AI could negatively affect American Express. The disruption was twofold: softening in the labor market and the rise of agentic commerce, which could theoretically bypass the interchange fees credit card companies collect on each transaction by using stablecoins instead. The report singled out American Express, but it also dragged down Capital One's shares. It will take time to fully understand AI's impact on the labor market, but this stablecoin part of the story may be a big overreaction, which is why we are scooping up more Capital One. Analysts at Wells Fargo quickly came to the defense of American Express yesterday, reiterating their view that "stablecoin would not be a meaningful threat to AmEx's payments revenue model, unless regulatory rules were permitted that essentially disintermediate US bank deposits. We don't see this happening in the U.S." The recent sell-off has brought Capital One shares down to less than 10 times consensus 2026 earnings-per-share estimates and less than 8 times 2027 projections. With a large buyback program in place, we expect management to aggressively repurchase shares at these low multiples. In addition, we are buying back a sliver of the Wells Fargo stock we sold at much higher prices in October and January, at roughly $86 and $94 per share, respectively. We are upgrading our rating to a buy-...

Artem Onoprienko/iStock via Getty Images Archer Aviation ( ACHR ) filed a patent infringement complaint in the Eastern District of Texas that alleged Vertical Aerospace's ( EVTL ) Valo aircraft is a visual “mimic” of the company's Midnight aircraft’s industrial design. The suit asserted that Vertical Aerospace ( EVTL ) has infringed at least two of Midnight's design patents (U.S. Patent No. D1,062,878 and U.S. Patent No. D1,067,164), which protect the unique visual identity of Midnight’s V-tail, fuselage, and wing configurations. The complaint also alleges that Vertical's ( EVTL ) Valo aircraft infringes on one of Archer Aviation's ( ACHR ) utility patents (U.S. Patent No. 11,945,597) that covers critical flight control systems and control allocation methods used to manage electric propulsion units and battery power on its tilting architecture. "Vertical has knowingly, willfully, and in reckless disregard leveraged and exploited the substantial goodwill and reputation associated with Archer’s patented designs," read a key part of the complaint. Shares of Vertical Aerospace ( EVTL ) are down 23.6% on a year-to-date basis. Archer Aviation ( ACHR ) is off 8.8% for the year.

Former US president’s part in ending the Troubles threatened by fallout from Epstein’s scandal, which has tainted his former envoy, George Mitchell When Bill Clinton testifies later this week at a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein there is unlikely to be any reference to his most precious foreign policy achievement – helping to bring peace to Northern Ireland . Whether Clinton is linked to Epstein’s predations or turns the tables on his inquisitors, his legacy in Northern Ireland might appear to stand apart, a jewel of his presidency that is immutable, enshrined in history.

Denis Shevchuk/iStock via Getty Images By Kyle Richards For the fourth quarter of 2025, almost half of the constituents in the broad Alerian Midstream Energy Index (AMNA) increased their payouts, with sequential growth coming from both MLPs and C-Corps. The vast majority of midstream companies have increased their dividends within the last year, and the tailwind of dividend growth is expected to continue this year. Learn more below about 4Q25 MLP/midstream dividends and anticipated dividend hikes for 1Q26. 4Q25 Payouts: Notable Increases From MLPs and C-Corps Looking at sequential dividend increases, growth came from both the MLPs that typically grow their distributions each quarter and corporations that generally announce increases once a year. With two exceptions, percentage increases were in the low- to mid-single digits. Fourth-quarter 2025 dividends continued the solid growth seen in recent years. The largest sequential percentage increase was from Plains All American ( PAA )( PAGP ), which announced a 9.9% increase to its payout for 4Q25 to $0.4175 per unit, consistent with long-held guidance. Following PAA, the large corporations that generally announce increases for 4Q raised their payouts by mid-single-digits. Williams ( WMB ) increased its dividend by 5.0%. Similarly, ONEOK ( OKE ) increased its quarterly dividend by 3.9% to $1.07 per share. Among the Canadian corporations, Enbridge ( ENB ) increased its dividend by 2.9% and TC Energy ( TRP ) raised its payout by 3.2%. Notably, Gibson (GEI) raised its payout by 4.7%. Additionally, MLP bellwether Enterprise Products ( EPD ) announced a 0.9% increase in its quarterly distribution to $0.55 per unit. In recent years, EPD has increased its distribution twice a year. MLP Genesis Energy ( GEL ), which saw the second-greatest increase among AMNA constituents, raised its quarterly payout 9.1% to $0.18 per unit The remaining sequential increases came from MLPs with a track record of growing their payout each quarter...

brunocoelhopt/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Yesterday was a very painful investment day for everyone who had invested in International Business Machines Corporation ( IBM ), myself included, as the stock posted the biggest one-day drop since the dot-com bubble. In total, IBM is down by more than 20% YTD, and the year just started. Data by YCharts This move was even more painful for me than for a regular investor because I not only bought the stock myself a few months ago but also rated it as a Buy here on Seeking Alpha. Since then, the stock is down by 26.5%, and I absolutely have to understand what happened with Anthropic PBC ( ANTHRO ) and whether IBM really is in such a bad position or whether the market has overreacted. Previous Coverage To do that, I’ll have no other choice but to break down all of the technological details of the COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language), the unique hardware of IBM, what Claude Code is, and how it may disrupt IBM's business. I am not an engineer, so I may not get all of the details entirely correct, but I do my best in understanding the information and explaining it to you in the simplest language possible. What Happened? Before I take a look at IBM’s numbers and the latest quarter, I’ll start with the most important piece of news. Anthropic just said it found a way for the Claude Code tool to be used to modernize systems that run COBOL. IBM’s Chief Commercial Officer, Rob Thomas, reacted immediately : “Translation captures almost none of the actual complexity,” he said , pointing to data architecture, runtime environments and transaction integrity as core challenges. Thomas added that “the code is the starting point, not the destination,” and that modernization depends on how applications scale, recover, encrypt and integrate. For an average investor, this piece of news doesn’t say or explain much, so I’ll start at the beginning. Most people, who had never thought about the system behind all of the banking tr...

Ares Management Corp. has moved to weaken John Textor ’s operational control of his football club group, after continued losses and tension over one of the credit investor’s biggest sports bets. Textor is no longer a director of Eagle Football Holdings Bidco Ltd. , a UK holding company for his investments in teams including French football club Olympique Lyonnais , according to a filing on Tuesday. While Textor is still the majority owner of his stakes in the teams, the move weakens his day-to-day control over the investments. Ares is the biggest lender in Eagle Football, after backing the €800 million ($949 million) takeover of Lyon in 2022. Ares has invested more than $450 million in financing, and is seeking to retrieve about $250 million in outstanding loans to Eagle, Bloomberg News reported earlier this month. An Ares spokesperson confirmed that it enforced the change. Textor is disputing that Ares has any right to oust him as director, according to a statement on his own website . A spokesperson for Textor said: “Mr. Textor, as the sole director of the sole shareholder of Eagle Bidco, disputes any appointment by Ares by the board of directors of Eagle Football.” At present, Eagle Football Holdings Bidco has no active directors, according to the UK company register. Textor’s termination as director took place in late January, according to the filing. As well as Lyon, Eagle has invested in teams including RWD Molenbeek in Belgium and Brazil’s Botafogo. Eagle sold its stake in English Premier League club Crystal Palace FC last summer to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson , at which point Ares was able to recoup a large portion of its initial loan. Ares has invested in a number of football teams, including Atletico de Madrid , Inter Miami and Chelsea FC . Ares has recently marked down the value of the debt it provided to Eagle to roughly 32 cents on the dollar, according to filings. Although Textor has managed some success on the pitch, his so-called multiclub stra...
