Liu Hu Police in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu have criminally detained prominent journalist Liu Hu, authorities confirmed Monday, marking the latest legal tribulation for a reporter known for exposing official misconduct. The Jinjiang branch of the Chengdu Public Security Bureau issued a statement saying it had opened an investigation into a 50-year-old man surnamed Liu and a 34-year-old man surnamed Wu. The police said the individuals are suspected of false accusation and illegal business operations and have been placed under “criminal coercive measures,” a euphemism often used for detention or arrest. The investigation is ongoing.

The Premier League had its quietest ever winter transfer deadline day as just seven deals were completed on Monday. Not a single arrival was confirmed until 19:04 GMT - four minutes after the window in the English top flight closed - with Crystal Palace announcing the signing of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves in a deal worth up to £48m. Clubs can make signings for up to two hours after the official deadline, as long as a deal sheet is submitted before 19:00 to provide extra time for the necessary paperwork to be completed. There were five further deals confirmed after the deadline - among them, Sunderland brought in Ecuador winger Nilson Angulo from Anderlecht in a deal worth £17.5m, while Wolves signed midfielder Angel Gomes from Marseille on loan and replaced Strand Larsen with Adam Armstrong from Wolves for £7m. That took the overall spending in the Premier League during the winter window to £390m. Liverpool did agree a deal on deadline day to sign defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes, but that move - and the payment of the £60m fee - won't happen until the summer.

This is the biggest of 10 lagoons in a mega-city that is facing an acute housing crisis - and where life is becoming increasingly expensive, pushing more people to the margins of society.

Elliott Investment Management said it continues to oppose the Toyota group’s proposal to buy out Toyota Industries Corp. at a ¥6.1 trillion ($39 billion) valuation, keeping up pressure on one of Japan’s most influential business groups after it refused to raise a tender offer. The US activist investor, which held a 6.7% stake in Toyota Industries as of Jan. 15, said it maintains its position that the ¥18,800 per share revised tender offer “very significantly undervalues” the company. Elliott is ramping up its opposition as it looks to undermine what could be one of the largest buyout deals on record. The transaction would see Toyota Industries — a maker of looms and forklifts that fathered Toyota Motor Corp. — delisted and solidify the founding family’s grip on Japan’s largest business group. Toyota Asset Preparatory, an entity formed to take control of Toyota Industries, said on Monday that the current offer was the “best possible price reflecting the intrinsic value” of the company. Elliott has been approaching other shareholders and already made repeated calls to persuade investors to resist the Toyota group’s offer. The investment firm has released a presentation outlining its opposition, saying Toyota Industries is worth at least ¥26,000 a share, and could be closer to ¥40,000 by 2028 if it focused on unwinding cross-shareholdings, consolidating, improving capital allocation and implementing governance reforms. “Elliott does not intend to tender its shares into the Revised TOB at the current terms and strongly encourages other shareholders not to tender,” the firm said in its latest statement.

BBC Multiple papers lead with UK police reviewing reports of alleged misconduct in a public office after Lord Mandelson was accused of passing on sensitive government information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The accusations relate to conversations uncovered in the most recent batch of Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice. According to the i Paper, Lord Mandelson "gave Epstein advanced notice of €500bn eurozone bailout during financial crisis" while he was former Prime Minister Gordon Brown's business secretary. Lord Mandelson has not responded to requests for comment over the latest allegations and has repeatedly expressed regret for "ever having known Epstein".
Born Free says this does not go far enough and has been calling on the government to require zoos to pay into a Zoo Insurance Bond, which would be similar to the travel industry's ATOL bond and would ensure the care of animals in times of financial hardship or if a zoo is forced to close.

A bullish new analyst note improved investor sentiment on the company. A wobbly stock at the end of last week, ServiceNow (NOW +0.85%) seemed to be finding a better balance at the beginning of this one. Investors cautiously bought shares of the stock on Monday, sending its price nearly 1% higher and notching a slight victory over the S&P 500 index's 0.5% rise. Inclusion on a "best of" list compiled by a top investment bank was a key factor in the rise. An enterprising company That morning, Goldman Sachs added three names to its U.S. Conviction List, including ServiceNow (the other two joining it are delivery specialist DoorDash and energy company Golar LNG). Goldman's team of analysts, led by Steven Kron, waxed bullish about ServiceNow's potential to expand its offerings into other segments of the enterprise software market. According to reports, pundits believe it can capture market share in areas such as customer relationship management (CRM) and human resources. With such scope for expansion, the investment bank is estimating that ServiceNow could post an organic compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 20% through 2029. Expand NYSE : NOW ServiceNow Today's Change ( 0.85 %) $ 0.99 Current Price $ 118.00 Key Data Points Market Cap $122B Day's Range $ 116.35 - $ 121.67 52wk Range $ 113.13 - $ 211.48 Volume 19M Avg Vol 11M Gross Margin 77.53 % Hidden attributes Goldman points out a significant (and to some extent, hidden) advantage of ServiceNow and its business model -- it's readily expandable into other functionalities where businesses often struggle to become (and remain) efficient. Over the years, I believe, ServiceNow has done a solid job selling its products and services to clients, and when and if it pushes into those new segments, it should be similarly successful. Goldman's bullish analysis is justified.

Palantir Technologies declared, “We are an n of 1” in the artificial intelligence software market on Monday, as the data analytics group reported yet another set of record quarterly results, sending its shares surging nearly 8% in late trading. Investors cheered a powerful combination of faster growth, fatter margins, and a revenue outlook “crushing consensus expectations,” prompting a sharp rebound in a stock that had stumbled to start the year. In his trademark outspoken style, CEO Alex Karp crowed on the following earnings call about “one of the truly iconic performances in the history of corporate performance or technology.” He argued that Palantir’s results would be “stellar, unusual, and sublime for a company that was in a much earlier stage of its development,” but this company is over 20 years old: “You just cannot expect a company like ours to perform at anything like this level.” ‘Incredible’ quarter tops forecasts Denver-based Palantir reported fourth-quarter revenue of about $1.41 billion, topping analyst expectations and marking another record period for the company famously named after a magical object from Lord of the Rings. Adjusted earnings per share came in at 25 cents, two cents above consensus, while net income climbed to about $609 million, helping deliver one of Palantir’s strongest profitability performances to date. Management highlighted a “rule of 40” score—the sum of revenue growth and operating margin—at an “incredible” level of 127%. Karp attributed this to Palantir being the only company “choosing to exclusively focus on scaling the operational leverage made possible by the rapid advancements of AI models, a trend that we first called ‘commodity cognition’ well before others started repeating it.” Palantir’s AI platform remained the main growth engine, particularly in the U.S. commercial market, where revenue and customer counts have been climbing at a breakneck pace. The company’s “boot camp” go-to-market model—short, intensive worksh...
