TERADAT SANTIVIVUT Stock futures inched up Tuesday morning while oil slid back below $100/bbl as investors eyed signs of potential progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations. Here are some of Tuesday's biggest stock movers: Biggest stock gainers Globalstar ( GSAT ) +19% - Shares climbed after reports that Amazon.com (AMZN) is in advanced talks to acquire the company in a deal that could be announced soon, potentially accelerating Amazon’s low-Earth orbit satellite push under Project Kuiper. The move would strengthen Amazon's ability to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink network, though no final agreement has been reached and discussions could still fall through. Bloom Energy ( BE ) +15% - Shares surged after Oracle (ORCL) expanded its partnership with the firm to procure up to 2.8 GW of fuel cell capacity to power AI data centers, with an initial 1.2 GW already contracted and deployment underway through 2027. The deal underscores accelerating demand for reliable, fast-deploying energy solutions to support AI infrastructure, positioning Bloom’s modular fuel cells as a key enabler of rapid data center buildouts. Credo Technology ( CRDO ) +9% - Shares jumped after announcing it will acquire DustPhotonics in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $750M upfront plus potential earnouts, strengthening its position in high-speed optical connectivity. The acquisition of silicon photonics (SiPho PIC) capabilities is expected to enhance Credo’s optical transceiver portfolio amid rising AI-driven data center demand, with the deal projected to be accretive to non-GAAP EPS by FY2027.

Swimmer: ‘I take a lot of guidance. I look up to him a lot’ Peaty married Ramsay’s daughter Holly in December Olympic champion Adam Peaty has hailed father-in-law Gordon Ramsay as his inspiration as he turned his thoughts towards the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The 31-year-old almost quit swimming just before the 2024 Games in Paris and then again straight afterwards, but confirmed he would compete in 2028 after the 50m breaststroke was added to the schedule. Peaty, who is back in action at the British Championships this week, admitted the next two years were going to be “the hardest of my career”, but took guidance from TV chef Ramsay.

China and Spain should work closely to resist “the law of the jungle” and defend true multilateralism in a turbulent world caught in “a contest between justice and power”, Chinese President Xi Jinping told visiting Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in a meeting on Tuesday. The meeting came after both sides strongly condemned the US-Israel miliary actions on Iran and criticised the US blockade of Iranian ports. Sanchez, who landed in Beijing on Saturday for a five-day trip, is on his fourth...

Nepal’s tourism industry is scrambling to offset a sharp fall in Western visitors during the peak spring trekking season, with operators and officials turning their attention to Asia-Pacific markets as conflict-linked travel disruptions ripple through the Middle East. Arrivals from the Americas and Europe, which account for a sizeable share of Nepal’s higher-spending long-haul tourism business, dropped by nearly 25 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively, during March compared with the same...

The 1990s series set her career alight; then came 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and countless theatre triumphs. She discusses Tina Fey, Stephen Sondheim and why it would take a broken leg to keep her off stage ‘I’ve been on three television shows that moved the needle a little bit,” says Jane Krakowski. “It sounds obnoxious for me to say it, so hopefully you’ll phrase that as if you said it.” In fact, I did also say it: the first was Ally McBeal, from 1997 until 2002, in which she played Elaine Vassal, an idiosyncratic character in a groundbreaking show. The kind of people who liked to sit around arguing about telly and post-modernism talked constantly about what kind of feminism McBeal was iterating, in the late 90s, with its scatty, neurotic heroine, such an unfamiliar screen trope of Career Woman, but somehow so much closer to life. Krakowski was almost the photo-negative of Calista Flockhart’s title character: brassy, eccentric, unconcerned by others’ opinions. Similarly, her character in 30 Rock, Jenna Maroney, acted as the bookend to Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon – Krakowski untouched by self-awareness, Fey beset by it. That ran from 2006 until 2013, and two years later, Fey’s follow-up, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, featured Krakowski as Jacqueline White, a magnetically unlikable wealthy socialite, in a fictional world so surreally improbable that it feels like a high-wire act only this particular cast could have pulled off. You could split hairs about whether Ally McBeal invented the “dramedy” or just honed it, and the question of Fey’s comic sensibility could suck you in like quicksand. But in each show, Krakowski creates a character that you cannot imagine having landed, fully formed, on the page. She is expressive in a way that’s so high-voltage but so controlled, funny in a way that feels so instinctive but so deliberated, that the dialogue and the performance seem to explode together like two chemical elements.

A new book uncovers the yearning romance that fueled the Aids-era artists’ life and work Andrew Durbin, author and editor-in-chief of Frieze Magazine , spent almost five years writing The Wonderful World That Almost Was . This dual biography of photographer Peter Hujar and sculptor Paul Thek, two gay artists who made extraordinary work in the years before and during Aids, focuses on their friendship, creativity and collaboration spanning more than 30 years. They died within a year of each other, in 1987 and 1988, both from complications from Aids. The work and lives of Thek and Hujar have come storming back into the cultural conversation in recent years. Hujar was played by Ben Whishaw in Ira Sachs’s poetic 2025 film, Peter Hujar’s Day , and his images have been used as cover art for an Anohni and the Johnsons album and Hanya Yanagihara’s bestseller A Little Life . Thek’s equivalent moment has been slower; his most important works were large-scale installations in Europe, all lost, and which, as Durbin tells me, “everyone loved, but few could experience. And when they were finished, there wasn’t much left to sell. But I think his moment is about to come.” Continue reading...

They won’t save an unhealthy plant, but they do create better growing conditions in rooms with no airflow The problem Most plant advice focuses on light, water and soil. Air barely gets a mention, yet stagnant indoor air is one of the less discussed reasons houseplants struggle. Fungal spots, mould on the compost surface and pest infestations like mealybugs can all be traced back to a room with no airflow. We open windows in summer but rarely think about what happens in winter. The hack Running a small fan near your houseplants is said to improve stem strength, discourage mould and reduce pest pressure. In the wild, plants experience constant gentle movement; a fan replicates this indoors. Continue reading...

Labour could benefit from Reform’s association with an unpopular US president – but only if it learns to connect again with voters It has never been worse for Labour, at least according to the polls. Some now place it as the fourth party of British politics . The impending local elections in May mean there’s more pain to come. But there is an international example that could provide some encouragement and hope for Keir Starmer and Labour. Around this time last year, Australia’s Labor prime minister, Anthony Albanese, was fighting a federal election campaign. He faced a deeply uncertain future. His first term in office was marked by exceeding caution and delivered few notable achievements. His signature reform, a referendum to introduce a “voice to parliament” for Indigenous Australians (an advisory body), was crushingly defeated . His government struggled to convince voters it was doing enough to ease cost of living pressures. Tim Soutphommasane is a professor in political theory and chief diversity officer at the University of Oxford, and was Australian Race Discrimination Commissioner Continue reading...

A new book looks at how an eccentric shipping magnate ushered in a long run of success for the New York Yankees George Steinbrenner could be quite the pitchman – whether selling New York to free agents or starring in Pepto-Bismol TV ads alongside Billy Martin. And now a new book remembers the late Yankees owner and the dynasty he founded. The Bosses of the Bronx: The Endless Drama of the Yankees Under the House of Steinbrenner flows from the pen of sports journalist and author Mike Vaccaro. As the New York Post’s lead sports columnist for more than two decades, Vaccaro has witnessed the Steinbrenner dynasty from a rarefied perspective – the journalistic equivalent of a seat along the third-base line.
