Construction works for Milano Cortina have been a lightning rod for suspected infiltration by organised crime, but anti-mafia groups have adopted an approach that will help future hosts Early on the morning of 8 October, the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri in Belluno put out a press release announcing three arrests, in the culmination of a year-long investigation they called “Operation Reset”. Two of the three were brothers, were both known members of the notorious SS Lazio Ultras, the Irriducibili , it was stated in the release, and had boasted of having personal ties to former boss Fabrizio Piscitelli , who was murdered in 2019. The crimes the brothers had been arrested on suspicion of had not been committed in Rome, but 400 miles north, in the small alpine ski resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo, high in the Dolomites, and home, for the next three weeks, to the Winter Olympics. The brothers are still awaiting trial, but the local public prosecutor’s office has alleged that they were running an operation in three phases. The first was taking control of the drug distribution network in Cortina, the second was to take control of three local nightclubs, and the third was to extort the local council into awarding the construction contracts for the works being done for the Games. Among the evidence the prosecutor says it possesses is a note on one of the brothers’ phones saying: “We want the cemetery area for the garages, the former pastry shop, the slip road and the new ring road, the construction of the tourist village.” Continue reading...

The company is trying to stage a major turnaround. Peloton Interactive (PTON 1.88%) lost another 29% of its value last year and is now 96% off of its all-time high. However, all hope isn't lost, and nearly half of Wall Street analysts who are covering the stock rate it a buy today. The company reports earnings next week, and progress could jump-start the stock again. Here's the most important thing to watch. Can the bottom line fuel the top line? Peloton has run into all sorts of problems over the past few years, and revenue keeps declining. However, it has made strides in getting costs under control to align with current demand. It reported positive net income for the past two quarters, as well as positive and increasing free cash flow. Management admits that its costs are still too high and launched a new cost restructuring plan to achieve $100 million in run-rate savings through fiscal 2026. The company releases 2026 fiscal second-quarter (ended Dec. 31) results on Feb. 5, and there are many goalposts it needs to reach as it aims for a turnaround. But management has said, "Continued momentum on bottom-line performance sets the stage for improvements on the top line." Investors should look out for profitability metrics to see if the company can maintain that healthy progress.

China significantly intensified its South China Sea patrols in 2025, maintaining an “unprecedented” nearly year-round presence at contested sites like Scarborough Shoal to assert maritime claims, according to a new US-based think tank report. An analysis published on Thursday by the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) – a research programme affiliated with the Centre for Strategic and International Studies – showed a substantial increase in China’s patrol presence as well as a broadening of its patrol coverage near Scarborough Shoal and Sabina Shoal. The AMTI’s analysis drew on data from the Automatic Identification System, a tracking system that uses transponders on ships to provide real-time information to other vessels, coastal authorities and satellites. Advertisement It employed two metrics to quantify the Chinese coastguard’s (CCG) presence: ship days, which represent the total sum of days spent by every individual CCG vessel at a location, and calendar days, which refer to the number of distinct days in a year during which at least one CCG ship was present. According to the institute, the Chinese coastguard achieved a nearly year-round presence near Scarborough Shoal, with patrols observed on 352 calendar days.

The stock looks expensive, but AMD could see robust demand for its data center chips in the coming years. Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD 0.24%) have doubled over the past year. The stock trades at a high price-to-earnings multiple, but this premium might be justified based on the trajectory of infrastructure spending for artificial intelligence (AI). Why buy AMD stock? At CES 2026, AMD CEO Lisa Su put a number on how fast AI compute is growing. Since 2022, AI computing power has climbed from 1 zettaflop to more than 100 zettaflops, driven by AI training and inferencing in data centers. But over the next five years, Su believes AI compute will need to increase another 100-fold to run more advanced AI applications. AI has barely begun to impact people's lives in healthcare, autonomous transportation, and humanoid robots. It will require a substantial increase in computing power for AI to reach its full potential, and the good news for investors is that it's not just a one-chip upgrade cycle.

Its upcoming Helios rack system will feature 72 graphics processing units (GPUs) that can operate like a single computing unit. Helios will feature the company's EPYC central processing units (CPUs) and networking components. Combining multiple products into a single system should benefit AMD's margins. AMD faces competition from larger chip companies, but if AI needs to expand as much as Su expects, data center operators may prefer to work with AMD to lower costs and reduce dependence on a single supplier. The company's shift to offering rack-scale systems for data centers makes the stock a compelling buy. Wall Street analysts expect the company's revenue to increase from $25 billion in ...

The 16 teams who have qualified for the Champions League knockout phase play-off draw will find out their opponents on Friday. Proceedings start in Switzerland at 11:00 GMT and will involve the teams that finished between ninth and 24th in the table. The top eight sides in the league phase have automatically qualified for the last 16 to avoid a potential fixture pile-up in February. Friday's draw will also determine which pathway (silver or blue) teams will be in. The first legs of the play-offs take place on either 17 or 18 February and the second legs are one week later.

da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images By Christopher Gannatti, CFA The WisdomTree European Opportunities Fund ( OPPE ) has combined early performance momentum with a differentiated investment process designed to capture both shareholder return and macro-driven opportunity in European equities. Strong Early Results In June 2025, WisdomTree unveiled its new European Opportunities Fund methodology , and early performance has been compelling. Disciplined Stock Selection with an Opportunistic Overlay OPPE deliberately allocates two-thirds of the portfolio to companies returning capital through dividends and buybacks, while reserving one-third for forward-looking thematic opportunities tied to geopolitics, technology shifts, and macroeconomic change. Currency Risk Management Embedded in the Index Rather than treating currency exposure as static, OPPE dynamically hedges between 0% and 100% based on multiple signals, including currency momentum, interest rate differentials, geopolitical developments, and dollar trends, seeking to mitigate adverse foreign exchange impacts while preserving potential upside when currency conditions are favorable. With the updated methodology going live on June 2, 2025, Figure 1a offers a clean view of OPPE's real-time performance. OPPE has delivered higher cumulative total returns than the MSCI Europe Index, with a return profile that reflects both participation in European equity upside and resilience through periods of market volatility. Importantly, the performance separation has not come from a single factor or short burst of risk, but from the combined effect of disciplined capital-return exposure, selective thematic positioning, and adjustments to the currency hedge.
