Exclusive: World Service director Fiona Crack says platform pursues stories ignored by the Gulf’s state-owned media A senior BBC executive has defended BBC Arabic as a lone voice in the region covering the “Israeli perspective”, as she warned its critics that it pursued stories ignored by the Gulf’s state-owned media. The corporation’s Arabic service has come under sustained criticism in recent years, for its selection of coverage and for featuring some guests that had expressed antisemitic views on social media. There have even been calls for the service to be closed down . Continue reading...

DNY59/E+ via Getty Images This article attempts to compare NIKE ( NKE ) against its two much smaller but formidable peers in the running shoe sector, namely Deckers Outdoor ( DECK ) and On Holdings AG ( ONON ), review its performance over the last 10 years, and draw from there a somewhat informed inference as to whether Nike stock represents a buy or not. Overview of the Three Companies Let's first have a quick overview of the sizes of the three companies in terms of market cap, annual revenue and workforce. (All tables herein are compiled from the Peers function of Seeking Alpha, except the 10-year selective data table is compiled from Seeking Alpha's income statements for NIKE). NKE DECK ONON Market Cap 76.05B 13.35B 10.72B TTM Revenue 46.5B 5.4B 3.8B TTM Net Income 2.5B 1.0B 257M Employees 77,800 5,500 3,963 Revenue Per Employee $598K $982K $959K Net Income Per Employee $32K $182K $64K Click to enlarge NIKE commands ~6-7 times the market cap of DECK and ONON, and ~8-12 times the TTM revenue of them. However, although it commands ~10 times the TTM net income of ONON, its TTM net income is only ~2.5 times that of DECK. Yet NIKE has a workforce that is ~15-20 times that of its two smaller rivals. Consequently, its revenue and net income per employee lag behind them by a wide margin, which probably suggests it is a mature and bloated organization. Valuation of the Three Companies As measured by stock price to various earning measures, whether TTM or forward earnings, GAAP or non-GAAP earnings, NIKE is valued higher by ~50% to ~150% than DECK and by ~50% than ONON. This pattern repeats itself in terms of free cash flow. NKE DECK ONON P/E Non-GAAP (FY1) 33.56 13.67 20.16 P/E Non-GAAP (FY2) 23.23 12.84 16.06 P/E Non-GAAP (FY3) 18.91 11.57 12.22 P/E Non-GAAP (TTM) 30.22 13.28 NM P/E GAAP ( FWD ) 32.53 13.67 22.90 P/E GAAP (TTM) 30.12 13.41 42.05 Price/Sales (TTM) 1.63 2.59 2.81 Price/Cash Flow (TTM) 24.88 13.18 23.62 Click to enlarge NIKE is undervalued by ~50% in terms ...

How To Convert Your 401(k) Into A Reliable Monthly Paycheck Authored by Adam H. Douglas via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Yes, you can turn your 401(k) into a predictable monthly paycheck in retirement. The key is to move from the accumulation phase to a structured distribution strategy. Many retirees combine systematic withdrawals, dividend-producing investments, and guaranteed income sources such as annuities. Smart planning can turn your 401(k) balance into a predictable cash flow. Ladanifer/Shutterstock By balancing these tools and managing withdrawal rates carefully, you can convert a fluctuating retirement account balance into a steady income stream that helps cover monthly living expenses throughout retirement. Why the Distribution Phase Matters During your working years, your focus is simple: build the largest retirement account balance possible. Contributions, employer matches, and market growth drive the accumulation phase. Once you stop working, your 401(k) must shift from a growth vehicle into an income engine. Instead of asking, “How big is my account balance?” the better question becomes, “How much income can this generate each month?” Without a clear strategy, withdrawals can become inconsistent and risky. Market downturns early in retirement may reduce your portfolio faster than expected. To help you before you retire, here’s a structured income framework. Creating a Retirement Paycheck From a 401(k) Step 1: Estimate Your Monthly Retirement Income Needs Before converting your 401(k) into income, start with a clear picture of your retirement spending. Most retirees separate expenses into two categories: Essential expenses housing costs utilities food and transportation health insurance and medical care Discretionary spending travel hobbies dining and entertainment A common guideline suggests retirees aim to replace 70–80 percent of their pre-retirement income, though the exact number varies based on lifestyle and debt levels. Once you determine you...

Semiconductor stocks have become popular investments thanks to the high usage of chips in AI. However, by investing in this industry, you're also making a bet that semiconductor usage will go up in other areas. As products like humanoid robots, autonomous driving, and drone delivery increase in usage, so will chip demand. By investing in a company like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) , you're making the proclamation that we are going to use a greater quantity of chips and more advanced chips in the future. That seems like a no-brainer bet, which is why Taiwan Semiconductor is a great option to invest $1,000 in right now. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

A Mexican Navy aircraft has located two small vessels that had gone missing while attempting to deliver aid to Cuba. The boats were spotted 80 nautical miles northwest of Havana, Mexico’s Navy Ministry said in a post on X on Saturday. A Navy vessel is heading to the area to provide assistance and communication is being maintained via radio, according to the post. The vessels were on a solidarity mission to the Caribbean island as a convoy of ships sought to help Cubans caught in a standoff between the Trump administration and the government in Havana. Washington has been turning the screws on Cuba in hopes of toppling the 67-year-old communist regime. Since Donald Trump ordered the capture of the island’s principal ally in Venezuela on Jan. 3, the US has imposed a near-total blockade on fuel deliveries to the Caribbean nation, exacerbating blackouts and economic decline. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters on Friday that authorities were searching for two sailing boats that left Mexico a week ago to make the 200-mile (322-kilometer) journey to the island.

GetUpStudio French police have thwarted a suspected bomb attack near the Bank of America ( BAC ) headquarters in Paris early on Saturday morning. One person has been arrested in connection with the incident, which reportedly occurred at around 3:30 am CET outside the BofA ( BAC ) building located on Rue de la Boétie in the capital's 8th arrondissement. A spokeswoman for the U.S. bank said it was “aware of the situation” and communicating with officials, according to Bloomberg. The national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office, or PNAT, told The Associated Press that it has opened an investigation into alleged terrorism-related offenses. The suspected offenses include attempted damage by fire or by a dangerous means, the manufacture of an incendiary or explosive device, the possession and transport of such devices with the intent to prepare dangerous damage, and involvement in a terrorist criminal association. A person was placed in police custody while another has reportedly escaped. “Well done to the rapid intervention of a Paris police prefecture unit, which made it possible to thwart a violent act of a terrorist nature overnight in Paris,” Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said. “Vigilance remains at a very high level," Nuñez said. "I commend all security and intelligence forces, fully mobilized under my authority in the current international context." RTL radio, citing police sources, reported that the incident took place early Saturday when police officers spotted two suspects carrying a shopping bag near the premises of the Bank of America in the 8th arrondissement of the French capital. One of the suspects, holding a lighter, was attempting to ignite a device, RTL said, while the second suspect managed to escape. The Paris police prefecture declined to comment. Since the Iran war broke out, French authorities have increased personal protection of some figures from the Iranian opposition and stepped up security around sites that could be a target, including sites ...

The league’s lowest scorers continue to punch above their weight in the fourth tier but found Notts County too strong Walking up Wetherby Road it is hard to believe there is a Football League ground lurking around the corner. Living in the shadows of semi-detached houses and three-storey blocks of flats sits the Exercise Stadium, where watching Harrogate Town this season has been an exasperating experience. The mix of being the lowest scorers in the league, with a paltry 29 in 40 games, and conceding the most shots, has left them mired in a relegation battle. There have only been three home victories all season but there were reasons for optimism after an upturn in results and performances, prior to the visit of promotion-chasing Notts County.
