Kremlin Asks US For Ceasefire At Bushehr Nuclear Plant To Get Remaining Russian Staff Out Russia is seeking approval from the US and Israel for a ceasefire for the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran , RIA news agency reported Thursday. Airstrikes across the country have reportedly been on the uptick in the past some 48 hours. "The travel routes will be communicated to the relevant authorities in Israel and the United States, and we will use all channels to request strict adherence to the ceasefire during the convoy’s movement," the head of Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, stated . Well over 500 Russian personnel were at the site prior to the US launching Operation Epic Fury, and the Bushehr complex has been hit at least three times by airstrikes , putting the complex and area at severe risk. via Anadolu Agency Likhachev said that a "final wave of evacuation" of some 200 people is tentatively scheduled for next week. There's been a lot of Russian technicians and personnel there given the plant was undergoing expansion, and it's Russia which first constructed Busherh - and so has technical expertise. The Kremlin has accused Washington and Israel of putting the whole region in danger, and further of harming the cause of nuclear non-proliferation globally . Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova days ago issued statement saying, " The drama of the situation is aggravated by the fact that countries attacking peaceful nuclear facilities in Iran are effectively undermining the NPT, the IAEA's verification mechanisms, nuclear and physical security conventions, as well as the agency's relevant regulations," according to the ministry's website. "Carefully crafted and internationally agreed solutions are not taken seriously by these states and can be discarded at any moment in favor of their selfish interests and geopolitical considerations ," the spokeswoman added. Zakharova further communicated that atrocities in Iran must cea...

alexsl Following a post-earnings drop in the previous session, shares of Tilray Brands ( TLRY ) gained on Thursday after Roth Capital upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral in reaction to the cannabis firm’s Q3 FY26 results. Analyst William Kirk based his thesis on several positives in the company’s earnings report, including outperformance in its international business, which grew ~73% YoY in Q3, accounting for more than a third of the company’s topline. Noting that the segment is at an inflection point, Kirk wrote that it “should further benefit from planned increases in capacity, potentially reaching a ~200 metric ton run rate from ~137 today." “Ramping local (Portugal) production should help as well,” he added. The analyst also highlighted TLRY's core Canadian business, noting that as supply gets diverted to international markets, “Canada Cannabis is experiencing significantly less price pressure than in past years, with Tilray remaining the market share leader.” Kirk maintained his $10 target on the stock, noting that since shares returned to July 2025 levels, the company’s outlook has brightened and there is a greater chance for regulatory change while management is slowing down share issuance.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News A four-person crew from NASA is entering a pivotal phase of its mission that will send them toward the moon, marking humanity’s closest approach to the lunar surface in over half a century. The Lockheed Martin -built ( LMT ) Orion spacecraft is scheduled to fire its main engine Thursday evening in a maneuver known as a translunar injection burn. This carefully timed thrust will place the capsule on the correct path toward the moon, leaving little margin for error. The burn comes on the second day of the mission’s planned 10-day journey. The Artemis II crew lifted off Wednesday from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, beginning a mission designed to test systems ahead of future lunar landings. If all goes according to plan, the astronauts will spend about four days traveling to the moon’s vicinity, with a close flyby expected on April 6. The mission represents a major milestone for NASA after years of development and billions in investment, as the agency works toward establishing a long-term human presence on the lunar surface. Although Artemis II will not attempt a landing, it is a key step in NASA’s broader roadmap, which aims to return astronauts to the moon later this decade. At their closest point, the spacecraft is expected to pass roughly 4,100 miles (6,598.31 km) from the moon. From the crew’s vantage point, the lunar surface will appear about the size of a basketball held at arm’s length. The mission could also set a new record for the farthest distance humans have traveled from Earth, surpassing the crew of Apollo 13 mission . Commanding the flight is astronaut Reid Wiseman , joined by pilot Victor Glover and mission specialist Christina Koch . Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen completes the crew. During the journey, the astronauts will carry out a series of tests and experiments, including preparations to capture images of the moon during the flyby. The crew is also expected to communicate with astronauts aboard the Internati...

How does the saying go? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em? After struggling for over a year to develop its own artificial intelligence (AI) assistant to truly compete with leading platforms like ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic, that's exactly what Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) seems to be doing. According to well-circulated reporting from Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman, citing "people with knowledge of the matter," the upcoming release of iOS 27 is expected to readily accommodate these rivals to Apple's own Siri, and even be used to power Apple's onboard AI assistant Siri itself. It's a sweeping reversal of Apple's strategy, which has specifically sought ways to encourage iPhone, iPad, and Mac users to utilize features outside of Apple's iOS ecosystem; official partnerships have been rare as well as somewhat limited in terms of functionality and accessibility. Soon, however, Apple device owners should be able to easily choose any number of familiar AI assistants in a featured portion of its popular App Store. Continue reading
