The Windrush commissioner has warned of a “hurry for justice” as more victims of the scandal die without redress, while stakeholders call for a public inquiry and legislative changes amid fears that a Reform government could stall progress toward justice. Speaking on the sidelines of a people’s inquiry symposium for those affected by the Windrush scandal, Rev Clive Foster said action was needed “now” to deliver justice for those British residents whose lives were upended after being wrongly classified as illegal immigrants. “Whether the political landscape as we see it or not, I think the duration is long enough and that of itself is the motivation that we should be moving forward for justice,” said Foster, a pastor from Nottingham whose parents came to the UK from Jamaica in 1959, and who was appointed to oversee the government’s response to the scandal. “We are sadly losing many of that generation who suffered and time is not on our side,” he added. “I am a man in a hurry for justice.” The second people’s inquiry symposium, held in north London on Saturday, brought together survivors, campaigners and advocates intent on establishing pathways to justice with victims’ voices at the forefront, while continuing to press the government to launch a statutory public inquiry into the scandal. The Windrush scandal was brought to public attention through investigative reporting by the Guardian in 2017, which revealed thousands of legal UK residents to be mistakenly labelled as immigration offenders. Government schemes providing immigration status and compensation to those affected have since granted 17,000 people documentation and 2,600 of 8,800 claims have received compensation payments, as of July 2024. Six months into Foster’s appointment, the Labour party, which has pledged to improve the government’s response, has adopted many of his recommendations for reforming the Windrush compensation scheme. But, years into the scandal, many are still struggling to navigate the pr...

These companies have highly visible growth profiles for the next several years. No one knows exactly what the future will hold. However, some companies have more visibility into what's ahead due to the durability of their cash flow and the growth investments they've secured. That gives them lots of confidence in their ability to continue increasing their dividends. Brookfield Renewable (BEPC +3.02%) (BEP +2.98%) and Oneok (OKE +1.78%) have visibility into their growth over the next five years. As a result, you can confidently hold these dividend stocks for the long haul. A powerful growth outlook Brookfield Renewable operates a globally diversified portfolio of renewable energy assets. It sells the bulk of the electricity it produces under long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with utilities and large corporate customers (90% of which are contracted for an average of 13 years). Most of these PPA link rates to inflation (70% of its revenue). The company routinely signs higher-rate PPAs as legacy agreements expire. For example, it recently signed two 20-year hydropower deals with Google, representing over $3 billion in revenue. As a result, Brookfield generates stable and steadily rising cash flow. The company also has an enormous backlog of renewable energy development projects (84 gigawatts (GW) of advanced-stage projects). It delivered 8 GW of new capacity last year and expects to increase its annual delivery run rate to 10 GW by 2027. The company expects to deliver 10.5 GW of capacity to Microsoft alone in the 2026 to 2030 time frame as part of their global renewable energy framework agreement.

On January 17, 2026, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk announced, via X, that the electric vehicle manufacturer's long-awaited AI5 chip — which is predicted to be an instrumental component in the artificial intelligence (AI) powering the company's future autonomous vehicles (AVs) — was nearing completion. In fact, Tesla's Q4 2025 Update Deck predicts that the AI5 chip will be ready for mass production in 2027 and its follow-up, AI6, should be available the following year. Adding to this, Musk made another major announcement on the AI front: Tesla would once again be directing resources toward developing its previously scrapped Dojo 3 program, an AI computing system based in space. These reveals came just weeks after the AI computing corporation, Nvidia, announced Alpamayo — a collection of open source AV-focused AI programs and resources. Tesla currently relies heavily on Nvidia's hardware to train its AI, and has for several years. In fact, Musk shared on X that Tesla is on track to have spent a cumulative $10 billion on Nvidia gear by the end of 2026. That's a hefty investment even for Musk, who makes over $2.2 million dollars per hour. The fact that Musk has decided to get back to work on Dojo 3, which was initially part of a program he shut down in August 2025, while simultaneously doubling down on other AI advancements suggests he may be trying to reduce his company's reliance on Nvidia technology. A decision that could have consequences for both companies.

Key Points Tracking the S&P 500 through an exchange-traded fund (ETF) is an easy way for investors to grow their portfolios. It's important, however, to focus on funds with low fees to maximize returns. Over the long term, a difference of just a single percentage point in your average return can result in you missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars. 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard S&P 500 ETF › Investing in the stock market doesn't have to be complicated. By simply tracking the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), which is an index of the largest companies in the U.S., you can be confident that your portfolio will rise in value over the long term. While there will be bumps and bad years along the way, the index has continually recovered and grown in value. There are many exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the index, and they can make for solid long-term investments. What's key, however, is to focus on low-cost funds. These types of investments will ensure that fees aren't putting a big dent into your overall returns. One of the best low-cost funds to buy today is the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO). Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Minimizing fees should be a priority for long-term investors One of the most appealing features of the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is its efficiency. At 0.03%, it's hard to find a lower expense ratio than what this ETF charges. That means if you were to invest $10,000 into this fund, you'd be incurring fees totaling just $3 per year. As your balance increases, your fees will also rise -- but they will still be fairly minimal. Over time, fees can add up, and even a single percentage point difference in your portfolio's performance can have a significant impact. Consider if the S&P 500 were to rise by around 10% per year, which is what it has average...

Key Points Investors have been worried for years about the prospects for Warren Buffett to stop leading Berkshire Hathaway. Now that the moment has come, though, Buffett has expressed a huge amount of confidence in Abel.

【有線新聞】日本眾議院選舉開始投票，選前民調顯示，先前兩次大選失利的自民黨有望捲土重來，在總裁高市早苗領導下單獨取得過半數議席，更有機會和執政盟友日本維新會達到絕對多數。 今次日本眾議院選舉只有12天拉票是歷來最短，首相高市早苗亦不敢怠慢，馬不停蹄為自民黨的候選人站台。高市早苗：「當前的政治形勢停滯不前，只試圖維持現狀，如果放手不管，就真的不會出現曙光，我想把眼前和未來的不安轉化為希望。」 高市上台3個多月就因為「台灣有事」言論觸怒北京當局，為日本經濟帶來潛在危機，但她提出改行積極財政政策，獲民眾寄予厚望，其內閣支持率達6成3。雖然因解散眾議院提前大選爭議，比上台初期下跌數個百分點，但仍有望帶領自民黨走出在去年參議院和前年眾議院選舉議席大減的陰霾。 眾議院465席中，由單議席選區產生的有289席，其餘176席由比例代表制產生。按民調推算，自民黨如果能夠吸納游離選民，在眾議院的議席有望由現時不過半的198席大幅增至約250席，遠多於眾院233席的過半數門檻。加上日本維新會的議席，執政聯盟有可能取得達到絕對多數所需的261席。 至於主要對手立憲民主黨和公明黨合組的中道改革聯合，被外界認為選舉策略未能團結反高市選民而陷於苦戰，議席可能由現時172席大減至約110席。 民調又發現逾四成選民最關心的選舉議題是高物價對策，其次才是社會福利和外交安保政策。

Kiev Left With Few Hours Of Power Per Day In Subzero Temps Ukraine and Russia have just wrapped up a second round of US-mediated negotiations in Abu Dhabi, but overnight Ukrainian cities were hit with another massive aerial attack on the national power grid. "Russia is carrying out another massive attack on the Ukrainian power grid facilities," grid operator Ukrenergo said on Saturday. "Due to the damage caused by the enemy, emergency outages have been applied in most regions ." via AFP Ukrenergo said in its Telegram statement, "Currently, the attack is still ongoing. Restoration work will begin as soon as the security situation allows." Dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones were unleashed, in what has become an almost nightly reality. Already rolling emergency blackouts have impacted towns and cities across Ukraine, but this fresh assault resulted in more blackouts. According to some specifics in the NY Times : The overnight strikes hit high-voltage transmission lines that are used to transmit electricity nationwide and that form the backbone of Ukraine’s power grid, as well as power plants and substations, said Denys Shmyhal, the country’s energy minister. The damage prompted Kyiv to request emergency electricity assistance from Poland, Mr. Shmyhal said on social media . The strikes were the latest in a series of Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure during a winter freeze. Mr. Shmyhal said the bombardment on Saturday had forced operators at nuclear power plants to “unload” reactor units , meaning that workers reduced power output or shut down reactors as a precautionary measure when external electricity supplies became unstable. Supplies were already in a dire situation after the even larger Feb. 3rd Russian attack on the energy grid. At this point the capital area is expected to receive only four to six hours of electricity per day in February. Some residents are without heat and water, amid dangerously frigid temperatures, which in recent days ...

Is AMD's 17% decline a warning for Nvidia shareholders ahead of Feb. 25? MSN

It would be easy to paint this as a Cole Palmer masterclass, the Chelsea midfielder completing his hat-trick inside the opening 38 minutes, but it is fair to say by the time he was substituted on the hour, his work was done. At that point it was 3-1 to the visitors, Wolves pulling a goal back early in the second half when Tolu Arokodare spun in the box to convert at a corner. From there, if not earlier, it was hard not to feel as though Chelsea were going through the motions. Palmer’s trio of cool finishes, two from the penalty spot, earned victory and his third, capping a slick team move, was surely the most pleasing for Liam Rosenior. Rosenior’s record as Chelsea head coach now reads seven wins in nine matches and four successive victories in the Premier League. With fourth-placed Manchester United finding their groove under Michael Carrick and registering a fourth straight league win themselves, Chelsea, a point and a place behind them, knew the importance of keeping pace. Wolves must be sick of the sight of Chelsea, even if there was a slightly different look to the side that won the reverse fixture 3-0 at Stamford Bridge in November. Palmer, of course, was the obvious absentee there and it was the same story when a youthful Chelsea side won here 4-3 in the Carabao Cup. Wolves have now lost their past four matches to Chelsea by an aggregate scoreline of 15-4 and that is without mentioning their 6-2 defeat at the start of last season. Wolves began the better side but they crumbled after Matt Doherty, their captain, gave away a silly penalty. João Pedro was moseying away from José Sá’s goal but Doherty was overzealous and gave the Brazil forward a bump in the box that gave the referee, Jarred Gillett, little choice but to point to the penalty spot. Palmer sent Sá the wrong way and covered his ears with his black gloves as he wheeled away towards the Chelsea supporters strewn across the lower bank of the Steve Bull Stand. Pedro Neto, who caused havoc for Hugo Bueno...

Before the 2-0 defeat by Aston Villa a fortnight ago, they’d not actually been toppled at St James’s Park in the Premier League since Arsenal beat them 2-1 in September. The FA Cup penalty shootout defeat to Bournemouth and the Carabao Cup shellacking by Manchester City have obviously dented the confidence somewhat, but on their home patch Eddie Howe’s side are strong. Share 12m ago 17.10 GMT It’s around about this time that I ask you for your score predictions – send them to me via email if you wish. I shall also remind you that the last three games I’ve live-blogged for the Guardian have brought four goals – two 3-1 home wins and a 2-2 draw. So I’m predicting a 3-1 Newcastle win to continue the trend. Wissa would just love a goal, wouldn’t he? And it’s about time Howe’s boys got back on track at home. Share 25m ago 16.57 GMT The results in the earlier games mean Brentford can still go level on points with sixth-placed Liverpool with a win on Tyneside. Newcastle will jump into the top half if they claim the three points. Fulham and Sunderland losing will give cheer to these two teams for a few reasons. The middle of the Premier League table is a very fluid situation this season. Share 39m ago 16.43 GMT It is an almighty boost for Newcastle to have Guimarães back in their midfield. They’re just a different team without him. The only downside for Eddie Howe this evening is Anthony Gordon’s absence – the winger hasn’t recovered from a hamstring injury in time to feature. It’ll be a particularly big night for Yoane Wissa, who is again preferred to Nick Woltemade up front for Newcastle. Wissa was injured for the Magpies’ 3-1 defeat at his former club Brentford earlier in the season. Igor Thiago has fared pretty well as Wissa’s de facto replacement this season and the Brazilian – who h...

These types of investments will ensure that fees aren't putting a big dent into your overall returns. One of the best low-cost funds to buy today is the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO +1.95%). Minimizing fees should be a priority for long-term investors One of the most appealing features of the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is its efficiency. At 0.03%, it's hard to find a lower expense ratio than what this ETF charges. That means if you were to invest $10,000 into this fund, you'd be incurring fees totaling just $3 per year. As your balance increases, your fees will also rise -- but they will still be fairly minimal. Over time, fees can add up, and even a single percentage point difference in your portfolio's performance can have a significant impact. Consider if the S&P 500 were to rise by around 10% per year, which is what it has averaged historically, for 30 years. A $50,000 investment would grow to be worth around $872,000. But if your return averaged a percentage point lower, at around 9%, then your investment would be worth approximately $663,000 -- a difference of nearly $210,000. This is why paying attention to fees is crucial for long-term investors, as ignoring them could result in significantly worse returns.

There are times when the best thing for a side is an uneventful win. Titles are won less in the big set-piece games than against mid-table sides in the easily forgotten circumstances of a Saturday afternoon. Arsenal weren’t brilliant against Sunderland, but they were good enough to win comfortably, and that increases their lead at the top of the table to nine points, adding a degree of extra pressure to Manchester City’s Sunday visit to Liverpool. In a way, this was the platonic ideal of Mikel Arteta’s football. Not a huge amount happened but most of what did was in or around the Sunderland box. It was bitty, stop-start, built around set-plays and devoid of much in the way of imagination or spontaneity. Coaches obsessed by pressing patterns probably loved it, but it will not live long in the wider collective memory. For a long time the game seemed in danger of being mutually respected out of existence, both teams watching, probing warily, even if in the end Arsenal’s probing proved far more dangerous.

For Burnley this felt like the beginning of their Premier League farewell tour, while West Ham reignited their fight for survival. In truth, there was little between the two but the Hammers showed why they have hope of staying up, providing the brief moments of quality, something the Lancastrians could not. Crysencio Summerville and Taty Castellanos expertly finished from two perfect assists to send West Ham to victory, leaving them three points adrift of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, the place above the relegation spots. Burnley showed fight in the second half but a 16th straight game without a win, including 11 defeats, brought derision from the home supporters and demands for change in the dugout and boardroom. There was more than an air of resignation around Turf Moor before the first whistle was blown. Nothing in the opening 12 minutes suggested either team had the desire or capability to get out of the relegation zone as the game began at a pedestrian pace. Burnley, as Scott Parker puts it, are often on the wrong side of the Premier League’s “fine margins” but it is often of their own making. On this occasion, Lucas Pires gave the ball away needlessly on the halfway line, Mateus Fernandes broke and slipped a precise pass through to Summerville, who reminded Kyle Walker of his advancing years, before dinking over Martin Dúbravka. Neither fans are happy with life but the visitors were more vocal, chanting “sack the board” in the hope of ousting Karren Brady and David Sullivan, though Burnley supporters were not short of toxicity come the 26th minute. The second was far too easy as El Hadji Malick Diouf was afforded the left wing to himself, allowing him to send in a perfect cross, headed home by Castellanos, who did well to get across his man. Boos rang out at Turf Moor, in the knowledge getting back into the match was nigh-on impossible for Burnley. At least when in a difficult situation at the turn of the year, West Ham acted in the market to bring new player...

Explore how sector focus and dividend strategy set these two leading ETFs apart for investors seeking income or growth. Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG +2.19%) and Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD +1.61%) stand out for their low costs and focus on dividend growth, but SCHD’s yield more than doubles VIG’s, while VIG has delivered stronger recent returns and heavier tech exposure. Both funds aim to provide diversified exposure to U.S. companies with robust dividend track records, but their strategies and sector bets differ. This comparison unpacks how VIG and SCHD stack up on cost, yield, performance, risk, and portfolio construction to help investors pinpoint the best fit for their income and growth goals. Snapshot (Cost & Size) Metric VIG SCHD Issuer Vanguard Schwab Expense ratio 0.05% 0.06% 1-yr return (as of Jan. 30, 2026) 10.4% 6.6% Dividend yield 1.6% 3.5% Beta 0.85 0.77 AUM $103.1 billion $77.3 billion Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year weekly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. SCHD carries a marginally higher expense ratio than VIG, but the difference is only 0.01 percentage points—practically negligible for most investors. Where SCHD stands out is its much higher dividend yield, offering a substantially larger payout than VIG. Performance & Risk Comparison Metric VIG SCHD Max drawdown (5 y) -20.39% -16.86% Growth of $1,000 over 5 years $1,617 $1,393 What's Inside SCHD tracks 101 U.S. companies screened for dividend strength and quality, with the fund now over 14 years old.

VIG, by contrast, spreads its assets across 338 holdings, favoring technology (28%), financ...

Find your next quality investment with Simply Wall St's easy and powerful screener, trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Tesla (NasdaqGS:TSLA) is winding down production of its Model S and Model X vehicles to convert facilities for large scale Optimus humanoid robot manufacturing. The company is publicly repositioning itself from a primarily electric vehicle maker to an AI and robotics focused business. Speculation continues around a possible combination of Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, which could reshape how these businesses operate and are funded. For investors, this shift reframes Tesla from an auto manufacturer to a broader technology and automation platform. Humanoid robotics and AI remain early in commercial adoption, and Tesla is tying its identity and capital allocation more closely to those themes rather than to legacy premium EV models such as the Model S and Model X. Key questions include how quickly Tesla can scale Optimus production, what real world use cases emerge, and whether any merger with SpaceX or xAI moves beyond speculation. These developments may influence how the market evaluates Tesla’s risk profile, revenue mix, and its role across mobility, robotics, and AI infrastructure.
