Two former Labour education secretaries have urged the government to restore “sanity and certainty” to England’s special educational needs system, as analysis shows spending has risen fastest in the most affluent councils, leaving deprived areas “trailing behind”. According to research by the Policy Exchange thinktank, total local authority spending on special educational needs and disabilities (Send) increased by more than £5bn in real terms between 2018-19 and 2024-25 – a 58.5% increase in six years. The report highlights that Send spending in the wealthiest 50% of councils increased in real terms by 65%, compared with a 51% increase in the most deprived areas. “Given the clear evidence base that ties Send needs to deprivation, these findings are troubling,” the report said. The Policy Exchange report, From Rates to Ruin: the Ongoing Crisis in Local Authority Send Spending, was published on Tuesday as the government put the finishing touches to its proposals to overhaul the Send system, which will be revealed in a schools white paper due later this month. Endorsing the report, Ruth Kelly, who was education secretary 2004-06, said: “Dramatic spending increases on Send have placed an unsustainable burden on local authorities, at a time where they are struggling to afford the services on which we all rely. Despite clear links between disadvantage and Send needs, inequitable spending patterns have seen Send spending rise faster in the most affluent councils, with deprived areas trailing behind. “Restoring sanity and certainty to the system is the only way to secure the long-term future of Send provision in England and ensure fairness for those who rely on it.” Estelle Morris, who was education secretary in 2001-02, said: “The financial burden that the present system is placing on local authorities is already known but this report explores the details and its different impact on individual local authorities. It concludes that the increased expenditure in recent years i...

The South China Sea continues to act as a lightning rod for competing claims among regional powers. In the final of a three-part series, Fan Chen investigates how Beijing is responding to the wake-up call on what is needed to win the narrative battle. For previous articles, click here and here. A video shared by the Philippine coastguard gained wide attention in December. It showed a ship from its Chinese counterpart deploying water cannon towards a smaller vessel, but the footage was used to tell two starkly different stories. According to Manila, the Chinese vessel was harassing and jeopardising the lives of “innocent fishermen”, with three of them reportedly sustaining bruises, cuts and other injuries in the confrontation near Sabina Shoal in the disputed South China Sea. Advertisement Meanwhile, Beijing contended that the targeted vessels “under the guise of fishing” were there “in an organised and premeditated manner to provoke trouble”. The foreign ministry said China’s coastguards were threatened with knives and noted that they acted with “restraint” during the encounter. The clash was the latest in a series of incidents that reflect a broader, years-long tug of war between Beijing and Manila as both seek to control the narrative in the South China Sea. A frame from the video released by the Philippine Coast Guard in December of what it said showed a Chinese vessel deploying water cannon towards a fishing boat near Sabina Shoal in the South China Sea. Photo: Handout But while Beijing seeks to shape the talking points around the infringement of its sovereignty and regional peaceful cooperation, Manila is employing a publicity strategy that frames China as a coercive aggressor.

The research shows Amazon purchase decisions are broadening and no longer price-led, with price as a motivator falling by 42%. Shoppers now point to speed (35%), Prime benefits (31%) and overall preference for Amazon (28%) as key reasons for purchasing on the platform. The growing role of product reviews, now cited by 24% of shoppers, highlights Amazon's advantage in trust and community validation, an edge eBay has struggled to match. Amazon continues to lead the Australian marketplace sector with 8.8 million active shoppers and 66% of consumers planning to shop on the platform. eBay, however, is sliding in the opposite direction, declining 7% to 51% of shoppers planning to use the platform in 2026. "The pressure on Australian born and bred marketplaces from global giants like Amazon and Temu is no longer theoretical. What we're seeing is a sector shaped by international scale, logistics sophistication and global ecosystems. This isn't a temporary cycle, it's a structural shift and could signal the end of the local Australian marketplace era as we once knew it," said Merline McGregor, Managing Director for Pattern Australia. Amazon now reaches 60% of Australian shoppers, growing its customer base by 3.45% year on year. Temu continues to expand rapidly with A$2.6 billion in sales last financial year and 47% of Australians purchasing from the platform, while Shein has lifted its reach to 30%, recording the fastest growth (15%) among major marketplaces. Australia's last remaining dedicated local marketplace, Kogan, however, is losing ground. Just 15% of consumers now shop on the platform, reflecting a 6% year-on-year decline. The ' 2026 Marketplace Consumer Report ' highlights a sector that looks markedly different to just a few years ago. With fewer local Australian marketplaces following the closures of Catch and MyDeal, and pressure on Kogan to maintain its competitiveness as consumers increase their spend with global platforms, data suggests a long-term shift in ho...

NYU Prof: Trump's Whole Milk Push Is 'Dog Whistle To Far-Right' Authored by Matt Lamb via The College Fix, When President Donald Trump signed a law that allowed for the National School Lunch Program to distribute whole milk again, he was actually sending out a signal to neo-Nazis, so says a New York University professor. In January, President Trump celebrated the bipartisan “Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025,” which will allow the federally subsidized school lunch program to offer the higher-fat content dairy once against. President Obama removed the option in 2010 over fears it was contributing to childhood obesity. The legislation passed by a voice vote in the U.S. House and unanimously in the U.S. Senate, according to Roll Call . While many would see this as a triumph of partisan gridlock, Professor Arthur Caplan sees something much darker. “As a student of and writer on the history of science and public health under fascist regimes, I am suspicious,” he said. “Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking.” Here we go. “Fascists have used the beverage as a rallying cry for white supremacy since the days of Il Duce’s (Benito Mussolini’s) public health campaigns in Italy,” Caplan wrote in The American Journal of Bioethics. “The Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well…In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part of alt-right, white nationalist messaging in tweets, memes, and videos .” “Alt-right?” 2018 called, it wants its boogeyman back. (Also, whenever Caplan accuses someone else of being authoritarian, remember he supported barring individuals from flying on planes and eating in restaurants unless they showed their vaccine papers ). Caplan cited examples, now nearly a decade old, and from the anti-Trump website The Conversation , to justify his argument. Instead of saying “for years,” Caplan should have said, “for a year.” He concluded: Racism and eugenics, sadly, may be playing ...

In this article CSCO Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins appears at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, 2026. Krisztian Bocsi | Bloomberg | Getty Images Cisco reported better-than-expected quarterly results on Wednesday, but the stock dropped about 7% in extended trading as earnings guidance for the current period only met estimates. Here's how the company did in comparison with LSEG consensus: Earnings per share: $1.04 adjusted vs. $1.02 expected Revenue: $15.35 billion vs. $15.12 billion expected Cisco's revenue grew about 10% from $14 billion a year earlier, according to a statement . Net income increased to $3.18 billion, or 80 cents per share, from $2.43 billion, or 61 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago. The adjusted figure excludes stock-based compensation costs. For the current period, Cisco expects $1.02 to $1.04 in adjusted earnings per share and $15.4 billion to $15.6 billion in revenue. Analysts polled by LSEG were looking for $1.03 per share and $15.18 billion in revenue. Investors have been looking for Cisco to play a more central role in the artificial intelligence boom, which has lifted chipmakers and providers of other data center technologies. Cisco is seeing some growth acceleration, reporting $2.1 billion in AI infrastructure orders from hyperscalers during the quarter. Cisco's core networking revenue increased 21% from a year earlier to $8.3 billion. Analysts polled by StreetAccount were looking for $7.9 billion. During the quarter, Cisco said it would provide products for an AI infrastructure project in Saudi Arabia alongside Advanced Micro Devices .

For the 2026 fiscal year, Cisco is targeting $4.13 to $4.17 in adjusted earnings per share and $61.2 billion to $61.7 billion in revenue, which implies 8.5% growth. The LSEG consensus showed earnings of $4.12 per share, with $60.74 billion in r...

The stock jumped after bullish analyst commentary on high‑bandwidth memory demand, an upgraded Street‑high price target, and strong recent results. Investors are watching Micron’s fiscal 2026 HBM ramp and AI‑driven earnings power. The company’s trading volume reached 47.4 million shares, which is 47% above compared with its three-month average of 32.2 million shares. Micron Technology went public in 1984 and has grown 29002% since its IPO. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) slipped 0.03% to 6,941, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) fell 0.16% to 23,066. Among semiconductors, Western Digital (WDC +4.26%) closed at $273.74 (+4.26%) and Seagate Technology Plc (STX +2.84%) finished at $407.25 (+2.78%), as investors continue to favor storage names tied to AI infrastructure demand. What this means for investors Micron Technology shares climbed on Wednesday after bullish commentary on high-bandwidth memory demand reinforced the company’s role in AI infrastructure. Recent coverage noted that Micron has already sold out its fiscal 2026 HBM supply and expects the HBM market to expand from roughly $35 billion in 2025 to as much as $100 billion by 2028. That outlook strengthened the case for multi-year revenue visibility tied to AI server deployments. The move was boosted by an analyst upgrade that set a Street-high $600 price target, following strong fiscal first-quarter results marked by rising revenue and e...

OpenAI has disbanded a team that focused on — as the company itself described — ensuring that its AI systems are “safe, trustworthy, and consistently aligned with human values.” At the same time, the team’s former leader has been given a new role as the company’s “chief futurist.” OpenAI confirmed to TechCrunch that the team’s members have now been assigned to other roles. The news was first reported by Platformer. The disbanded team in question, which appears to have been formed in September of 2024, was the startup’s internal unit dedicated to working on alignment. That’s a broad field of interest within the industry that seeks to ensure that AI acts in accordance with human interests. “We want these systems to consistently follow human intent in complex, real-world scenarios and adversarial conditions, avoid catastrophic behavior, and remain controllable, auditable, and aligned with human values,” a post from OpenAI’s Alignment Research blog declares. An OpenAI job posting for the Alignment team describes it as being dedicated to AI research that focuses on “developing methodologies that enable AI to robustly follow human intent across a wide range of scenarios, including those that are adversarial or high-stakes.” In a blog post published Wednesday, Josh Achiam, the former head of OpenAI’s Alignment team, explained his new role as the company’s Chief Futurist. “My goal is to support OpenAI’s mission — to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity — by studying how the world will change in response to AI, AGI, and beyond,” Achiam wrote. Achiam noted that, in his new role, he would be collaborating with Jason Pruet, a physicist from OpenAI’s technical staff.
