Rosa María Carranza has worked and paid taxes for more than two decades, but a provision in the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will make her and an estimated 100,000 other lawfully present immigrant seniors ineligible for Medicare.

Malaysia is facing renewed pressure to expand palm-based biodiesel as the Iran war drives up fuel costs, but industry and academic observers say high infrastructure costs and slow roll-out make it an unlikely source of quick relief. That tension has sharpened as the government confronts a swelling fuel subsidy bill and greater exposure to imported supply shocks. The finance ministry last month sai...
Malaysia is facing renewed pressure to expand palm-based biodiesel as the Iran war drives up fuel costs, but industry and academic observers say high infrastructure costs and slow roll-out make it an unlikely source of quick relief. That tension has sharpened as the government confronts a swelling fuel subsidy bill and greater exposure to imported supply shocks. The finance ministry last month said petrol and diesel subsidies could reach 4 billion ringgit (US$903 million) a month with crude oil...

Mindy Kaling is the first celebrity to join Ike Barinholtz in a lovable new series. Plus: a moreish pod about being single in your 30s “Oh, this is a quizshow?!” exclaims Mindy Kaling, not so much maligning actor and gameshow champ Ike Barinholtz’s (pictured) new podcast as misunderstanding it. She’s soon up to speed with his mix of trivia questions and meandering chat (which in Kaling’s case touches on everything from Chevy Chase to New Jersey Italian food). It is an amiable, low-stakes entry to the arguably oversaturated celebrity interview canon. Hannah J Davies Widely available, episodes weekly Continue reading...

The U.K. is trying to charm Anthropic to expand its presence in the country, as it looks to capitalize on a fight between the AI startup and the U.S. Defense Department, the Financial Times reported. Staff at the U.K.'s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology have written proposals for Anthropic, which include an office expansion in London and a dual listing, the report added , citing people familiar with the plans. Anthropic and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office has supported the department's work, which will be put to Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei when he visits Britain in late May as part of a trip to meet European customers and policymakers, the report noted. Anthropic currently employs about 200 people in the U.K., 60 of them researchers, and last year appointed former prime minister Rishi Sunak as a senior adviser. Last month, competitor OpenAI ( OPENAI ) committed to expanding in London, making the city its biggest research hub outside the U.S. The U.S. government and Claude AI chatbot maker have been in a legal tussle since the Trump administration banned the use of the company's technology after designating it as a supply chain risk. Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a notice in court to appeal a federal judge’s order blocking a ban on government use of Anthropic's AI technology. U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin had issued a preliminary injunction, halting the Trump administration’s plan to cut ties with Anthropic while the case proceeds in San Francisco federal court. Anthropic sued the U.S. Department of War after the department dropped its contract with the AI startup and labeled it a supply chain risk. The company said in court filings that the U.S. government’s action of blacklisting the company could reduce its 2026 revenue by multiple billions of dollars. Anthropic — which is backed by Amazon (...

As a child, Dominique Bikaba, was displaced by a new national park in the DRC. Now he is helping to secure land for wildlife and Indigenous groups against the backdrop of ongoing fighting Mist hangs low over the forested slopes of Kahuzi-Biega national park, where the canopy still shelters one of the last strongholds of the eastern lowland, or Grauer’s, gorilla. It is a landscape of immense biological wealth and equally immense political fragility. For 54-year-old Dominique Bikaba, it was once home. His family was among those displaced when their ancestral land was incorporated into the park in the 1970s. The protected area, in the lowlands of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), harbours elephants and a remarkable range of wildlife, but it is best known as the principal home of the Grauer’s gorilla, the largest subspecies of primates, known to grow up to 250kg (39st) in weight . It is one of five great ape species found in the DRC’s vast forests, including mountain gorillas, which are also found in other parts of the Great Lakes region, such as Rwanda and Uganda.

Making women more powerful in my farm business and closing the gender pay gap was not just the right thing to do – it has brought commercial benefits On International Women’s Day this year, I found myself in Selfridges listening to my wife, Geetie, talk about her experiences as a childhood communard, mother, restaurateur, environmental campaigner and, of course, as a woman. I was one of two men in the audience. Some might ask what a 65-year-old male farmer was doing there at all. I would contend, first, that as many of the issues discussed on IWD relate to male behaviour, men should be paying as much attention as women; and second (and more practically) that too many blokes being blokey does not get the strawberries picked. Success in farming depends on being able to build and maintain relationships. I’d say that’s true of most businesses. When we first measured our gender pay gap at Riverford in 2017, women earned an average of 91p an hour to their male colleagues’ £1. We made excuses and weak efforts at change, but most of the men at the top were unwilling to challenge their unspoken prejudice. My own farm, Baddaford, has been happier, more productive and more profitable since I, and my male head grower, put our best picker – a woman half our age – in charge of the picking and people. Guy Singh-Watson is the founder of organic veg box company Riverford Continue reading...

BFI and National Portrait Gallery to mark centenary of the film star’s birth with ‘the summer of Marilyn’ Though often reduced to a sex symbol frozen in time, or a tragic figure at the centre of several scandals, Marilyn Monroe was something far more subversive, according to two exhibitions that will herald what has been nicknamed “the summer of Marilyn”.

BFI and National Portrait Gallery to mark centenary of the film star’s birth with ‘the summer of Marilyn’ Though often reduced to a sex symbol frozen in time, or a tragic figure at the centre of several scandals, Marilyn Monroe was something far more subversive, according to two exhibitions that will herald what has been nicknamed “the summer of Marilyn”. To mark the centenary of her birth, Monroe is being celebrated by leading British cultural institutions as a performer of sharp comic intelligence, a canny architect of her own image, and a woman who reshaped the possibilities for female stardom on screen.

The latest in our series of writers paying tribute to their go-to comfort films celebrates Steven Spielberg’s escapist globe-trotting adventure The ancient Greek philosopher Lucretius writes in his epic poem On the Nature of Things : “It is comforting, when winds are whipping up the waters of the vast sea, to watch from land the severe trials of another person … it is comforting to see from what t...
The latest in our series of writers paying tribute to their go-to comfort films celebrates Steven Spielberg’s escapist globe-trotting adventure The ancient Greek philosopher Lucretius writes in his epic poem On the Nature of Things : “It is comforting, when winds are whipping up the waters of the vast sea, to watch from land the severe trials of another person … it is comforting to see from what troubles you yourself are exempt.” This feeling of living dangerously by proxy is exactly why I find it so relaxing to watch Indiana Jones in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark go through an endless stream of trials and tribulations: trekking through the hot, sticky jungle. Avoiding venomous spiders and snakes. Being betrayed by not one, but two of his colleagues. Jumping over bottomless chasms and outrunning giant boulders, only to be thwarted by his arch-rival and chased by a tribe of bow-and-arrow-toting Amazonians. And that’s just the first 15 minutes of the film. Continue reading...
