Everton recognise ‘swift response’ by supporters Marc Guéhi was also subjected to racist abuse online A 71-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Antoine Semenyo of Manchester City during their 3-3 draw at Everton on Monday, when his teammate Marc Guéhi was subjected to racist abuse online. Merseyside police arrested the man after supporters and stewards reported the incident at Hill Dickinson Stadium. He has been bailed with conditions, including restrictions preventing him from going within one mile of any designated sports stadium for a period of up to four hours before kick-off, during matches and up to four hours after the final whistle.

The Justice Department is taking a new tack to overcome hurdles in attracting qualified legal talent and to prevent current lawyers from leaving: offering signing and retention bonuses throughout the Civil Division. New vacancy postings show signing bonuses of $25,000 are newly available to staff offices investigating youth transgender treatments and litigating the Trump administration’s immigration agenda. Further, the head of the Civil Division—which plays a crucial role advancing and protecting the president’s policies in court—informed all his attorneys Monday that they’ll begin receiving a “retention incentive allowance” ranging from around $60 to $220 every pay period through Thanksgiving, according to an internal email reviewed by Bloomberg Law. Listen to the season trailer The financial enticements are an apparent first for a department that in previous years would be inundated with resumes from lawyers willing to take significant salary reductions compared to private sector legal practice. Padding lawyers’ biweekly paychecks signals a division growing more desperate to stave off further departures of valuable legal minds, including those who’ve expressed discomfort with defending the president’s policies from a slew of lawsuits. Trial attorney vacancies posted on DOJ’s website Tuesday for the Civil Division’s recently created enforcement and affirmative litigation branch describe in bold print “a signing bonus of up to $25,000\ repeatedly losing in court over efforts to subpoena pediatric hospitals for sensitive data on minors prescribed drugs for gender dysphoria, instruct applicants that time is of the essence. “Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their completed application as soon as possible,” as the financial incentives are “contingent upon the availability of funding,” states one of the two Civil Division vacancy postings —both of which offer the signing bonus. A separate civil section focused on immigration litigation, which has been managi...

⚽️ Champions League news, 8pm BST kick-off (first leg: 1-1) ⚽️ Today’s Football Daily | Follow us on Bluesky | Mail Scott The two biggest names in European football never to win the continent’s biggest prize meet for a place in the final. It’s 20 years since Arsenal found themselves 14 minutes from glory, only for Barcelona to hit them with a couple of sucker punches; their continental roll of honour (one Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, one Cup Winners’ Cup) is absurdly short given the size and status of the grand old club. Atlético Madrid have made more of an imprint in Europe, with three Europa Leagues, a Cup Winners’ Cup and three Super Cups, but the big one has eluded them as well: they’ve suffered the trophy being snatched from under their nose in excruciating circumstances not just once but three times, in 1974, 2014 and 2016, insult being bundled up with injury on the latter two occasions by good old Real Madrid. We’re not quite at the Something’s Got To Give stage, seeing this is just the semi, and whoever gets through will be strong second favourites against either Bayern Munich or PSG. But something’s got to give at some point, surely, and reaching the final is the necessary step in making that dream possible. So here we are. Atleti were the better side last week in Madrid, yet Arsenal were nevertheless a contentious penalty decision away from a priceless victory. Mikel Arteta’s men were certainly the better side when the teams met during the league phase last October, though, scoring four goals in 14 second-half minutes. So both teams will fancy their chances. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. Extra time and penalties not beyond the realms. It’s on! Continue reading...

Lambda Inc. , an AI cloud-computing provider backed by Nvidia Corp. , named Sprint veteran Michel Combes as its next chief executive officer, part of a management overhaul aimed at positioning the startup for growth. Current CEO and co-founder Stephen Balaban will take the role of tech chief, Lambda said on Tuesday. He will focus on the company’s technology vision, while his twin brother, Michael Balaban, moves to the role of chief product officer. The company also enlisted John Donovan , former head of AT&T's communications unit, as board chairman. The changes further shore up the management team after the hiring of new operations and finance chiefs in recent months. The company is looking to build out its network of data centers and has mulled an initial public offering. Lambda is part of a group of companies dubbed neoclouds that rent access to Nvidia Corp.’s graphics processing units and other AI infrastructure. Combes’ hire is intended to help the company grow to meet rising demand for AI computing services. In addition to previously running Sprint — now part of T-Mobile US Inc. — Combes has served as CEO of SoftBank Group Corp.’s international division and Alcatel-Lucent. Both Combes and Donovan compare the AI data center boom to the build-out of telecom and wireless infrastructure that began more than three decades ago. Combes said he was attracted by “the size of this opportunity, the scale, the amount of money at stake — financing and all of that — and the speed at which it has to be done.” Wired telecom infrastructure took two decades to roll out and cost about $4 trillion, Donovan said. Mobile technology took half as long and cost about $5 trillion. “Now we’re trying to build an infrastructure that’s as large as mobile and the time frame is going to be shorter,” he said. “So this is the worst time to be sitting on the sidelines.” Founded in 2012, Lambda has had preliminary discussions with bankers about an IPO, people familiar with the matter told Bloombe...

While Nvidia gets most of the attention as Wall Street's AI kingpin because of its prolonged dominance in AI data center GPU chips, a competitor has been building something special. Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) has landed major chip deals with various major AI companies, including Alphabet , Meta Platforms , Anthropic, and OpenAI. With these deals, Broadcom might actually be the better AI stock to own. The best part? Broadcom is winning in ways that can be difficult for Nvidia to counterpunch. Broadcom has become the leader in custom AI chips, purpose-built for each customer's needs. Here is just how big Broadcom's AI opportunity could be, and why the stock price doesn't yet factor in all of the upside. Continue reading

Meta Platforms Inc. is under investigation by Ireland ’s media watchdog over concerns it’s preventing users from exercising their right to choose what shows up in their feed on Instagram and Facebook. The opening of two separate probes follow reviews and assessment of complaints and will assess whether Meta contravened the European Union ’s Digital Services Act, the regulator, known as Coimisiún na Meán, said in a statement Tuesday. The authority said it recognizes the concerns about so-called recommender systems and the potential harm that algorithms can potentially cause by pushing damaging content into the feeds of platforms users and especially children. A recommender system is a list of posts, videos, products, or articles a user of the platform sees that has been chosen and ranked for them by a system, it is based on what they like and interact with. “We want to remind users of Very Large Online Platforms, the household name companies most of us would recognise, that they have a right to choose a recommender system feed that is not based on the profiling of their personal data,” Digital Services Commissioner John Evans said in the statement. The European Commission is the main EU enforcer against Big Tech, but some aspects of the law — including the reporting mechanism — fall under the jurisdiction of the national regulator of the EU country where a platform is headquartered. The investigations will look at whether users can select and modify their preferred recommender system and if there is the functionality to do so as is required under the DSA. They will also assess whether the platforms’ online interfaces deceive or manipulate users away from choosing a recommender system feed that is not based on profiling of their personal data.

Since then we have had new developments, including the 1Q26 release and the April 2026 Cloud Next ‘26 conference . Also, we have Nvidia’s March 2026 Advancing to AI’s Next Frontier GTC session presented by Google’s Chief Scientist Jeff Dean and Nvidia’s ( NVDA ) Chief Scientist Bill Dally. Google is both a producer and consumer of AI-generated systems. My thesis is that Google is benefiting as AI-generated code increases. Internal AI-Generated Code In the 3Q24 call, CEO Sundar Pichai said more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI and then reviewed by human engineers. A year later in the 3Q25 call, Senior VP Anat Ashkenazi said nearly half of Google's code is generated by AI. About six months later, at the April 2026 Cloud Next ‘26 conference , CEO Pichai said 75% of all new code at Google is now AI-generated and approved by engineers. This is an important transformation, going from about a quarter of code being generated by AI in October 2024, all the way up to three quarters by April 2026. Worldwide AI-Generated Code Google's engineering organization runs on its internal monorepo and code-review tooling rather than GitHub, but GitHub’s numbers provide useful third-party signals for industry-wide trends in agentic coding adoption. GitHub’s public developer activity and tooling updates around agentic coding workflows show a sharp acceleration in AI-assisted software development since December 2025. Hyperscalers like Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure all report higher demand driven by rising code generation. GitHub's third-party data provides independent evidence of the same trend: Software acceleration (GitHub) Internal AI Chip Design Google demonstrated leadership in applying AI to the placement stage of chip design years ago with their groundbreaking AlphaChip paper which was published in Nature in 2021.

4kodiak/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images I recently argued that AI companies can be classified into three categories: AI enablers, AI creators and AI adopters. Within this framework I see a third, new category of highly integrated AI “landlords” emerging: Amazon.com, Inc. ( AMZN ) and Microsoft Corporation ( MSFT ). Sitting between enablers and creators, these companies provide the cloud infrastructure that allows AI models to be developed and AI applications to be rolled out to companies and consumers. They also have very strong B2B and B2C ecosystems, ready for monetizing AI applications once AI matures. In an accelerating AI race, I think this is increasingly looking like a moat that will provide an edge against OpenAI ( OPENAI ) and Anthropic ( ANTHRO ). The AI race is accelerating the “Cloud wars” Both Microsoft and Amazon reported quarterly earnings last week. I cannot find better words than “outstanding” to describe the growth figures that were just reported. Microsoft’s Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 40%, while Intelligent Cloud revenue was $34.7B, up 30%; Microsoft Cloud revenue was $54.5B, up 29%. AWS net sales were $37.6B, up 28% year over year. Both companies report operating margins of ~40% for their cloud segments. What strikes me is not only the sheer pace of growth, but how this growth fits in an historical context. The chart below shows 5-years Operating Margin figures for the Cloud segments of MSFT and AMZN, together with those of Alphabet Inc. ( GOOG ). Author's work based on SA data A note about how Microsoft reports Cloud figures In comparing Cloud figures, it is worth noting that Amazon and Microsoft follow different logic in data reporting. Amazon treats AWS as a fully standalone reporting segment, whereas Microsoft blends Azure into broader categories. This is the reason why in my chart, Microsoft’s cloud seems to be of a significant magnitude larger than that of Amazon. This is not necessarily the case in terms of “real” cloud...
