North Carolina Rep. Valerie Foushee holds narrow lead over challenger Nida Allam toggle caption Jonathan Drake/Reuters; Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Incumbent Rep. Valerie Foushee holds a narrow lead over challenger Nida Allam in the Democratic primary for North Carolina's 4th Congressional district as ballots continue to be counted. In a race seen as an early test of whether Democratic voters desire generational change within the party, Foushee holds a lead of just over 1,000 votes with 99% of results in so far, according to the Associated Press. Loading... Under state law, provisional votes will be counted in the coming days in a district that includes Durham and Chapel Hill. If the election results end up within a 1% margin, Allam could request a recount. Successfully ousting an incumbent lawmaker is often extremely difficult and rare . However, there have been recent upsets in races as some voters are calling for new leaders and several sitting members of Congress face primary challengers this cycle. Allam, a 32-year-old Durham County Commissioner, is running to the left of Foushee , 69, framing her candidacy as part of a broader rejection of longtime Democratic norms. On the campaign trail, Allam ran on an anti-establishment message, pledging to be a stronger fighter than Foushee in Congress, both in standing up against President Trump's agenda and when pushing for more ambitious policy. "North Carolina is a purple state that often gets labeled red, but we're not a red state," she told NPR in an interview last month, emphasizing the need to address affordability concerns. "We are a state of working-class folks who just want their elected officials to champion the issues that are impacting them." Sponsor Message She drew a contrast with the congresswoman on immigration, voicing support for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Foushee has declined to go that far, advocating instead for ICE to be defunded and for broader reforms to the federal immigr...

In a bizarre and gruesome blend of medical belief and extreme filial devotion, many people throughout Chinese history cut flesh from their own thighs to heal sick relatives. The custom later evolved into a government-endorsed trend, turning the practice into a path to social mobility and marital success. Ge gu liao qin, which literally means “cutting one’s own flesh to heal a parent”, refers to an ancient practice in which a child would cut flesh from their own thigh to use as medicine to treat a parent’s illness, as an extreme expression of traditional filial piety. Advertisement The individual being treated could be a person’s parents, parents-in-law or even a husband. A painting depicts what such an act of extreme filial piety may have looked like in ancient times. Photo: Handout Before the advent of antibiotics, many illnesses could become death sentences.

Find your next quality investment with Simply Wall St's easy and powerful screener, trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Intel stock at a glance Intel (INTC) is back in focus for many investors as its shares trade around $43.10, with mixed recent returns that include a small gain year to date but declines over the past month. See our latest analysis for Intel. The recent 1 day share price return of a 5.27% decline and 7 day share price return of a 6.55% decline sit against a year to date share price return of 9.45%, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 102.06% highlights how much sentiment has shifted over the past year even as shorter term momentum has faded. If Intel's recent swings have you thinking about where semiconductor related trends could head next, it might be worth scanning 34 AI infrastructure stocks as a way to uncover other chip and AI infrastructure names on your radar. With Intel shares around $43.10, a 9.45% gain year to date and a 1 year total return just over 100%, the real question now is whether today’s price leaves upside on the table or if the market is already paying up for future growth. Most Popular Narrative: 18% Overvalued Intel's last close at $43.10 sits above a fair value of $36.54 implied by the most followed narrative, which applies a specific growth and discount framework to the stock. Transition and Investment Phase: Intel is in the middle of major restructuring and technological transitions, such as moving toward 7nm and beyond for its chips and investing in foundry services. These changes take time to bear fruit, and while they may suppress short-term earnings, they could lead to long-term growth. Read the complete narrative. Curious how a company with current losses still lands at that fair value number? The narrative leans heavily on future revenue progress, improving margins and a richer earnings multiple once profitability returns, all baked into a single set of forward looking assumptions.

By Rachel More BERLIN, March 4 (Reuters) - Germany's top industrial union is fighting for more influence at Tesla's gigafactory outside Berlin, where staff are voting for a new works council after a campaign marked by mud-slinging and legal challenges. Voting began on Monday at Tesla's Gruenheide plant, the U.S. electric car maker's only European production site, with results expected later Wednesday. The current council is dominated by non-union members. The IG Metall union is fielding 116 candidates in a bid to win a simple majority - 19 of 37 seats. The union secured 16 in the last election two years ago, when the council had 39 seats. IG Metall has accused management of stoking anti-union sentiment. Plant director Andre Thierig has countered that the union is focused solely on boosting IG Metall membership. "We are very satisfied with our election campaign. We are running with a great team and our issues are clearly striking a chord with our colleagues," IG Metall's lead candidate Laura Arndt said in a statement to Reuters. Works councils, elected by staff, are a cornerstone of German labour relations, representing employees in talks with management. IG Metall dominates councils across German carmakers - including Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes - but remains the underdog at Tesla, whose CEO Elon Musk is outspoken in his criticism of unions. Tensions peaked in February when Tesla accused an IG Metall trade unionist of secretly filming a works council meeting and filed a criminal complaint. IG Metall dismissed the allegation as a "calculated lie". (Reporting by Rachel More and Christina Amann. Editing by Mark Potter)
