This new ‘world order’, where rogue nations can pick and choose their next acquisitions, gives the green light to other bad actors, writes David Tayler . Plus letters from Peter Gregory , Rev Graham Murphy and John Gittings In our crazy, unregulated world, we watch the unedifying spectacle of two rogue nations, each awash with nuclear weapons, going to war to stop a third rogue nation from acquiring similar weaponry ( Editorial, 30 March ). The resulting conflict is bringing chaos, death and destruction to the Middle East, and instability and unknowable consequences to the rest of us. If this is the new “world order”, where rogue nations are free to pick and choose their next acquisitions, it surely gives the green light to those with more legitimate claims – China with Taiwan, Spain with Gibraltar, Argentina with the Falklands. So, what can be done to halt this descent into madness? Continue reading...

One reader shares their experience of fighting to receive the money they were owed, while Roy Grimwood offers insight into the disastrous effects of a flawed economic model As witness to the cash-grabbing nature of these businesses ( The great care home cash grab: how private equity turned vulnerable elderly people into human ATMs, 28 March ), I would like to draw your attention to a specific practice: that of trying to deny grieving families the balance of fees owed to them when a resident dies in the home with full weeks already paid for. I had already heard of this from someone else, so I was on the alert when the same thing happened to us. We were told that it was not their “policy to refund” when, policy or not, a careful reading of the contract showed that the money was owed. We appealed, and were successful. Continue reading...

Readers respond to an article by Lola Okolosie about whether calling a woman ‘auntie’ is a sign of ageism or a mark of respect Re Lola Okolosie’s article ( Is calling a woman ‘auntie’ ageist harassment – or a mark of respect? It’s a trickier question than you think, 31 March ), I was interested to read uncle/auntie described as honorifics. Growing up (I’m 60-plus years old, Scottish), I think it operated as a familiar term. I was taught to call close friends of my parents Aunt Jane or Uncle John. Otherwise Mister/Miss. Clearly, there is an honorific element – if I am (as a child) calling you Aunt, you are close to my parents, but it was not related to age – I would never have dreamed of calling anyone Aunt/Uncle on an age basis. Aunt/Uncle expired with age. Once I became a teenager, Aunt Jane just became Jane. Douglas Leggat Stockport Continue reading...

Geriatric US presidents are a symptom of a failing political order, says Dr Georgios Samaras, while Jim Hatley wonders who would take over if the present incumbent is replaced Re Gaby Hinsliff’s excellent piece ( Never mind leading the free world, if Donald Trump were your ageing father, when would you take away his car keys?, 30 March ), the concern over Donald Trump’s age and judgment is fair, but it also feels quite belated. American politics has long recycled elderly men and presented them as vessels of reassurance and national strength. Ronald Reagan was celebrated as decline and confusion were quietly discussed. Joe Biden was defended as the steady hand even as public doubts grew louder. Trump is simply the ugliest culmination of the pattern. The deeper problem is that the presidency has become a screen on to which a failing political order projects fantasies of rescue. Absurdity is not necessarily a weakness here. It can become part of the appeal. The rambling performance, the repetition, the shamelessness – they all feed a culture that prizes identification over substance. That is why asking whether the system can restrain a visibly unstable strongman, while necessary, still does not go far enough. The same system has repeatedly elevated these figures, then wrapped them in myths of authority. Trump emerged from a political culture that has spent years mistaking decline for wisdom. In that sense, Trump appears less as an exception than as the ageing patriarch of a decaying order, still holding all the cards and determined to impose his legacy on the future. Dr Georgios Samaras King’s College London Continue reading...

Microsoft Invests $10 Billion in Japan. SoftBank and Sakura Internet Join AI Buildout

NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) , a producer of small modular reactors (SMRs), saw its stock set a record high of $53.43 per share last October. Today, its stock trades at about $10. That 80% decline was painful for investors who hastily hopped aboard the bandwagon, but it could be great news for long-term investors who can tune out the near-term noise. A conventional nuclear reactor, which generates more than 1,000 MW of electricity, is usually housed in several massive containment buildings. NuScale's SMRs, which can fit in vessels that are only 65 feet high and nine feet wide, are better suited for smaller power plants. Its newest design, approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) last year, is a 77 MW reactor. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃4月2日在社交媒体上发文，谴责美国于2月28日对伊朗拉默尔德市一座体育馆发动的袭击，表示“这是一起令人发指的战争罪行”。巴加埃称，美国此次袭击使用了精确打击导弹，导致21名青少年遇难。 美军中央司令部在3月31日曾否认相关指控，并声称“美军不以平民为目标”。而《纽约时报》在3月29日的一篇报道中就指出，美国在对伊朗战争首日使用了此前未经实战检验的导弹。该媒体和武器专家通过分析相关影像，发现美国在此次空袭中使用导弹的武器特征、爆炸方式及造成的破坏均与精确打击导弹相符。3月初，美军中央司令部证实，已在伊朗战事中使用该型导弹，并发布相关画面。（CCTV国际时讯）

Sadie Coles HQ, London From holiday snaps to atrocities, Throbbing Gristle album covers to backsides in shorts, the Polish painter reproduces the scattered attention and flattened perspective of our social media age Wilhelm Sasnal has transformed the ground floor of Sadie Coles’ elegant gallery into a parade of broken images: the Oval Office, a ghastly forest, a blasted tree trunk, the artist’s wife and daughter, a British post-punk band, and the sitting US president surrounded by cronies, his face resembling the burn produced by screwing a lit cigarette into a photograph. These paintings, most of which are untitled, are broken in the sense that an online link can be broken: it is difficult to connect them to their source. (It would be useful to know the location of that tree, for instance.) They are also broken in that they do not fit together as a whole. What connects that revolting White House interior, with its acid greens and faecal browns, with a spooky forest? What links President Trump to the founders of industrial music? Continue reading...

In this video, Motley Fool contributor Jason Hall makes the case for why Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) could outperform Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) over the next five years, in part because companies like Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) , AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) , and others could start taking up more share of the market for chips to power artificial intelligence. *Stock prices used were from the Morning of April 1, 2026.

Residents in at least 10 states are organizing campaigns to tax wealth in order to fund schools and other social services Karen Sanchez likes to meet new people at trivia nights or concerts at her local brewery at the edge of Los Angeles county. Her opening line: “How do you feel about taxing the rich?” Sanchez is volunteering to collect signatures to put a contentious “billionaire tax” on California’s November ballot, sponsored by her union, SEIU – United Healthcare Workers West . The proposal would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on the state’s 200-plus billionaires to cover lost federal funding for California hospitals and emergency services and to fund public education and food assistance programs. She says most people have been eager to sign on – and want to see more of it. Continue reading...

Australian manager Joe Brady and New Zealand striker Ben Waine have guided League One strugglers to quarter-finals The Port Vale manager, Jon Brady, left Australia as a 17-year-old to chase his dream of playing in the United Kingdom. Spells at Brentford, Swansea and Wycombe did not make a first-team debut a reality. The sacrifice would not be wasted as determination to make a career in England grew stronger, becoming a non-league stalwart, but always with an eye on what came next. Like Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final opponent, Chelsea’s head coach Liam Rosenior, Brady plotted a route to the dugout from early on, earning his B licence at the age of 23. Twenty-eight years later, he has managed more than 500 league games, in charge of Brackley and Northampton before joining League One’s bottom club in January, and embarking on a surprising Cup run.
