Malaysian police recently engaged in a dramatic confrontation with a Singapore -registered car that was driving against the flow of traffic at the Johor Bahru land checkpoint, with an officer drawing his gun to stop the errant motorist from fleeing. Dashcam footage related to the incident, which occurred on January 10, circulating on social media showed the vehicle travelling the wrong way through the Sultan Iskandar Building immigration complex near Malaysia’s border with the city state. A police officer approached the car, gestured towards the driver and knocked on the window before the four-wheeler reversed and tried to move forward a couple of times. Advertisement As the stand-off continued, the officer brandished his firearm while his colleague struck the car’s bonnet with a traffic cone to prevent the driver from breaking through the checkpoint. No shots were fired during the encounter, which ended after the car later managed to speed away from the spot. It was not immediately clear if the suspect had been caught.

Players travelled back with the fans after victory at Fulham but the side has struggled at their superb new stadium The 20.12 from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street resembled an old football-special train on Saturday with Evertonians in full voice and party mode for the entirety of the journey following victory at Fulham . The impact of another valuable away win was not lost on David Moyes or his players. They were in the second carriage and listened to the celebrations all the way home. “It was brilliant on the train going back because we knew what it meant,” the Everton manager said. “If you’re an away supporter and you put your money and your effort into getting to all the games, it’s a thrill when your team get results. And we did, we got it pretty late again. I think part of the job here is to actually give the Evertonians something to shout about and the away supporters have probably had it a bit better than the home ones. We need the home ones to give us everything which the away supporters are giving us as well.” Continue reading...

Fifa president will be under major scrutiny when he goes to Brussels to address the Uefa annual congress on Thursday Assuming Gianni Infantino turns up on time, he is expected to make his customary address to Uefa’s annual congress on Thursday. The couple of hours spent in Brussels Expo Hall 3 will be largely procedural but the Fifa president’s messaging will be worth delegates’ attention. Even by the standards of relations between football’s major governing bodies, the past 12 months have been fractious. The fault lines hardly get narrower and there is certainly no reduction in the number of thorny issues simmering away. At last year’s edition, in Belgrade, Infantino used the gathering of European football’s great and good to make a caveated case for Russia’s return to competitive action. If that was a rolling of the pitch, his comments on the matter in an interview last week amounted to letting the sprinklers loose. Infantino said the ban on Russian sides should be reassessed , at least for age-group teams, but there is little chance of his views gaining weight around Europe even if he elects to revisit the argument.

While most photographers are striving to ‘freeze’ motion using traditional cameras at the Winter Olympics this month, a creative trio from the photo agency Getty Images are seeking something much more unexpected: heat. Equipped with compact thermal-imaging cameras – the kind typically reserved for scientific or industrial purposes – Pauline Ballet, Ryan Pierse and Héctor Vivas have been crafting eerie pictures of athletes on the slopes of Cortina and in the rinks of Milan. The Olympians’ bodies are rendered as spectral yellows and reds, while the ice and snow around them appears either cyan or indigo. View image in fullscreen Athletes compete in the pairs skating short programme at Milano Ice Skating Arena. Photograph: Pauline Ballet/Getty Images “As visual artists, we’re drawn to photography as a form of art that allows us to be expressive, creative and experimental,” Ballet says of their work. “Thermal cameras capture the infrared radiation emitted by bodies, thereby revealing heat, muscular effort and the thermal exchanges between the athlete and the environment in which they perform. It’s both a documentary tool and a poetic medium.” In fact, each camera has two lenses – one thermal and one photographic – allowing the operator to produce a curious foreshadowing effect if both images are combined (best seen in the luge and free-skating images below).

You couldn’t move for orange jumpers and coats in Milan’s speed skating stadium on Monday. Even the king was wearing one. Many Dutch people live for this sport in winter, when their waterways can freeze over, making it often more convenient to skate than walk. Femke Kok has won the last three world titles over 500m. In November she broke the world record over that distance. On Monday she lined up alongside the 1,000m world record-holder, the 37-year-old Brittany Bowe, leaving her trailing in her wake and broke the Olympic record for good measure. King Willem-Alexander pumped his fists like a madman. Everybody’s favourite YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul was also in the stands, cheering on his fiancee Jutta Leerdam, who won 1,000m silver for the Netherlands in Beijing four years ago. She was last on the ice this time and down on Kok’s splits for the first couple of laps before storming back against Japan’s Miho Takagi. Leerdam emptied the tank and burst over the line, stripping Kok of her Olympic record and the gold in the process. The effort was exhausting. “I couldn’t really stand, I couldn’t really see, I couldn’t do anything,” Leerdam said.

“I probably stood out like a sore thumb,” says Hollie Davidson as she reflects on the long hard road she has travelled to reach the point where, on Saturday, in Dublin, she will become the first woman to referee a men’s Six Nations game. Davidson leans forward in her chair and ticks off some of the doubts she has had to overcome amid derision and prejudice. “At the beginning,” the 33‑year‑old says, “the big thing was, always, physically can she do it? Will she be able to keep up with the men’s game? What happens if she gets knocked over? Is her rugby knowledge there? How will players and fans react to her? That sexism is still there at points, but people now just want to see a game being well refereed.” There was no such acceptance at the start of her career in 2015. She nods when asked if she was verbally abused. “Yes. Straight off the bat. The stuff shouted from the sidelines was ridiculous. It was all about where I should be instead of a pitch or that I should be doing other things with my Saturday than refereeing a game. All the classics.” She also had to hear bleak and frightening words. “There would be indications of where I should go after the game for players to do whatever they wanted with me.” Davidson was in her early 20s then and, at times, she felt very lonely. “The beginning of my career was the most isolating and lonely point because you’re learning your craft and the resources and the right people around you are few and far between. “It’s different now. I arrive at a game with at least three of my colleagues. I’ve got my coach on the end of the line. I’ve got a manager and a sports psychologist, I’ve got all the support. But, at the beginning, you move into a space that feels very scary.” View image in fullscreen Hollie Davidson had to keep quiet for a week and a half before it was announced she would referee Ireland v Italy in the men’s Six Nations on 14 February.

As the fallout from the 2008 global financial crash reverberated around the world, a group of students at Harvard University in the US walked out of their introductory economics class complaining it was teaching a “specific and limited view” that perpetuated “a problematic and inefficient system of economic inequality”. A few weeks later, on the other side of the Atlantic, economics students at Manchester University in the UK, unhappy that the rigid mathematical formulas they were being taught in the classroom bore little relation to the tumultuous economic fallout they were living through, set up a “post-crash economics society”. These small acts of discontent found echoes in campuses around the world in the months that followed, as normally staid economics students demanded a broader and more questioning syllabus that more accurately reflected and challenged the world as it was. View image in fullscreen A Lehman Brothers trader at the New York stock exchange in September 2008. Photograph: David Karp/AP These disparate strands came together in early 2013 at the London School of Economics with the inaugural meeting of Rethinking Economics – a student-led organisation that has gone on to challenge the way economics is taught at universities around the world. “That first meeting was a bit chaotic,” recalls Yuan Yang, one of the group’s founders and a Labour MP since 2024. “It was just after our final exams and it was all a bit intense. But I was really surprised with how many students turned up not just from the LSE but from other universities as well.” Yang, who was studying a masters in economics at the time, said the first meeting was held on a “bit of shoestring”, dependent on volunteers and “some real acts of kindness” from family and friends as well as some of the LSE’s leading academics. “It was very volunteer led,” she said. “My dad, bless him, helped out by doing some filming … and we had some of the leading professors helping out.

“Now, Gary, repeat after me: Quiero una margarita, por favor,” my Spanish tutor instructs. I cringe at the butchered Spanglish my estuary accent produces. Like Del Boy Trotter ordering a cocktail: “Key – yeah – row oon margari’a, pour far four.” It’s 2023, I’m 41, living in Argentina and battling the frustration and disempowerment of learning a new language at this age, longing for my elastic 11-year-old brain over this husked-out mush. I’m also wishing, for the umpteenth time, that I was taught Spanish instead of French at school. Not to throw shade on French: it’s a beautiful language, and I studied it until my first year at university. I even worked in Nice for three summers. But Spanish would have really set me up for life – and that is even more true for today’s students. Yet we are still teaching far more of our youngest students French than Spanish. It’s outdated. Partly, it’s a simple numbers game. Spanish is the world’s second-most-spoken first language – 484 million speakers. French is 22nd, with just 74 million native speakers. Spanish wipes the floor with French for overall speakers, too. Logically, we should teach French to half as many students of compulsory schooling age as we do Spanish, which would come close to matching the proportion of speakers of each worldwide. We are nowhere near those numbers yet – meaning we are failing to best prepare our students for modern-world realities. The numbers alone, though, haven’t persuaded those responsible for Britain’s education system to change the curriculum at anything more than a glacial pace. As of 2025, French was offered in about 70% of England’s primary schools, with Spanish in just 26%. French is the most offered language at key stage 3 (ages 11-14). It is also dominant at GCSE level: last year, 90% of schools offered French to GCSE, while 76% offered Spanish. The interesting trend is what students are choosing. In August last year, Spanish became the most popular language GCSE in England for the fir...

The beautiful game has a fast fashion problem, with clubs bringing out multiple kits every season. But a move towards upcycling old shirts and wearing vintage garments is on the rise It may have been a quiet January transfer window, but even so, thousands of new shirts will be printed for Lucas Paquetá, returning to his former Brazilian club Flamengo, while his West Ham shirt instantly feels old. Not to mention the thousands of other players moving from one club to another. Uefa estimates that up to 60% of kits worn by players are destroyed at the end of the season, and at any one time there are thought to be more than 1bn football shirts in circulation , many of which are discarded by fans once players leave. The good news is that lots of designers are bringing their upcycling skills to old kits, taking shirts and shirring them, sewing them or, as in the case of designer and creative director Hattie Crowther , completely transforming them into one-of-a-kind headpieces . “I’m not here to add more products into the mix, I’m here to reframe what’s already in circulation and give it meaning, context, and longevity while staying culturally relevant,” says Crowther, whose creations involving the colours and emblems of Arsenal, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, are, she says, “a response to how disposable football product has become”.

The French architect, who once had her nose broken by Jean-Marie Le Pen, created apartment blocks with cascading terraces that seemed to have surrendered to nature. They are still loved by their residents When the French architect Renée Gailhoustet died in 2023, the residents of Le Liégat, a social housing block she completed in 1982, put up a large handmade sign saying: “Merci Renée.” Architects are often accused of designing impersonal rabbit hutches that they themselves would never deign to inhabit, but when Gailhoustet died at the age of 93, she had been living in her Liégat duplex in the Parisian suburb of Ivry-sur-Seine for more than 40 years. Outside her living room window, several storeys up, was a large cherry tree and a profusion of greenery. Characterised by their riotous informality, Gailhoustet’s free-plan apartment blocks invariably featured cascading terraces and loggias covered with a foot of soil, so residents could cultivate and enjoy un jardin derri ère, a back garden.

Chinese authorities say their investigation of a high-profile scandal in one of the country’s leading state-run museums has revealed there was systemic mismanagement and alleged corruption decades ago that allowed national treasures to be funnelled into the private art market. The scandal unfolded in late December when Nanjing Museum in eastern Jiangsu province was alleged to have secretly sold donated paintings after the artworks were mishandled by a former director. The controversy centres on five paintings among a 137-piece collection donated by the family of collector Pang Laichen in 1959 with the intention of being preserved within the museum, yet they were found to be missing during a court-ordered inventory check filed by Pang’s descendants. Detail from Spring in Jiangnan by Qiu Ying. Photo: The Paper Earlier last year, one of the works, the renowned Ming dynasty painting Spring in Jiangnan by Qiu Ying, appeared for auction to be sold for an estimated 88 million yuan (US$12.7 million), prompting Pang’s great-granddaughter, Pang Shuling, to report the case to the authorities and ask the museum to provide documentation about the treatment of the artwork. The painting was withdrawn from sale after protests by the family. Advertisement The controversy gained national headlines in December and sparked public mistrust in museum management at a time when Beijing is trying to promote the country as a cultural superpower. National and provincial authorities sent teams to investigate. The months-long probe – which involved more than 1,100 interviews and the review of 65,000 archival documents – found that some of the five works in question were illegally transferred, sold or lost over the decades, according to a report released by Jiangsu provincial authorities under the guidance of the National Cultural Heritage Administration on Monday evening.

South African private equity firm Harith General Partners plans to acquire budget carrier FlySafair as the investor with $3 billion in assets expands its transport portfolio on the continent. Talks with the nation’s biggest airline are at an advanced stage and subject to approvals by regulators including the antitrust authorities and two licensing bodies, Harith Chairman Tshepo Mahloele said. The PE firm will purchase the carrier through Harith Aviation, and the transaction should concluded by the fourth quarter, he said. The deal will help FlySafair — which controls more than 60% of domestic seat capacity — address regulatory pressure to meet South African ownership rules. The Domestic Air Services Council in 2024 said that the carrier was in breach because trusts and companies — not people — own 75% of the airline’s voting rights. The ruling followed a complaint by local rival Lift. “The deal will make up about 15% of our overall portfolio and will be funded through a mix of equity and debt,” Mahloele said in an interview, without giving financial details. “South Africa is FlySafair’s stronghold and important to their strategy, and we believe their model can also be competitive regionally.” FlySafair had about a year to comply with the requirements or face having its license revoked. A deal may assist with the permit issues, although the airline still needs to follow due process, FlySafair Chief Marketing Officer Kirby Gordon said.

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Kohl's Corporation ( KSS ) has managed to slow its comparable store sales decline in recent quarters, with its -1.7% comparable store sales performance in Q3 2025 being its best quarter since 2021. Kohl's also updated its guidance to a -2.5% to -3.0% comparable store sales decline for the full year, which is an improvement over its original guidance of -4% to -6% . The better-than-expected sales performance also contributed to Kohl's adjusted EPS being well above its original guidance. I have increased my estimate of Kohl's value from $20 to $21 per share. This does require Kohl's to at least halt its comparable store sales decline (with flat to +1% comps) in 2026, but it would have needed low-single-digit positive comps in 2026 without the slower-than-expected sales decline in 2025. Management Notes Kohl's named Michael Bender as its permanent CEO in November 2025. Bender had served as Interim CEO since May 2025, following Ashley Buchanan's terminationas been a director at Kohl's since 2019 and served as Board Chair from May 2024 until he became Interim CEO. He is thus very familiar with Kohl's, and the results from his stint as Interim CEO have been positive so far (although it is too soon for the impact of any major initiatives to show up). Debt Issuance In May 2025, Kohl's issued $360 million in 10% secured notes due 2030. The collateral for the notes includes eleven distribution centers and e-commerce fulfillment centers. Kohl's received $357 million in net proceeds from issuing those notes and used most of that money to repay the $353 million in 4.25% unsecured notes that matured in July 2025. The significantly higher interest rate on the new notes (despite the collateral) shows that the debt markets were quite concerned about the deterioration in Kohl's results up to that time. The elevated threats around trade wars at the time didn't help either. Kohl's better-than-expected results in subsequent quarters have he...

An update from TSMC ( (TSM) ) is now available. On February 10, 2026, TSMC reported that its wholly owned subsidiary TSMC Global Ltd. adopted a directors’ resolution by written consent to approve a major capital increase. The resolution authorizes TSMC Global to raise up to US$30 billion in additional capital from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., contingent on approval by the relevant authorities, signaling a significant reinforcement of the group’s financial capacity for future investments and global expansion. This move underlines TSMC’s continued commitment to funding large-scale semiconductor capacity and technology projects amid sustained demand for advanced chips worldwide. The sizeable infusion, if fully executed, would strengthen TSMC Global’s balance sheet, potentially enhancing the parent group’s flexibility to pursue strategic manufacturing, supply chain and infrastructure initiatives important to customers and other stakeholders. The most recent analyst rating on (TSM) stock is a Buy with a $397.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on TSMC stock, see the TSM Stock Forecast page. Spark’s Take on TSM Stock According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSM is a Outperform. The score is driven primarily by excellent financial performance (elite margins, improving growth momentum, strong balance sheet) and a constructive earnings outlook with strong AI-led guidance. These positives are moderated by an extended technical setup (overbought signals) and a relatively rich valuation (P/E ~32 with low dividend yield), plus execution and margin-dilution risks tied to elevated CapEx and global/advanced-node ramp-ups.

Over the past six months, AMD has been a great trade, beating the S&P 500 by 15.1%. Its stock price has climbed to $213.97, representing a healthy 24.2% increase. This was partly due to its solid quarterly results, and the performance may have investors wondering how to approach the situation. Is it too late to buy AMD? Find out in our full research report, it’s free. Why Is AMD a Good Business? Founded in 1969 by a group of former Fairchild semiconductor executives led by Jerry Sanders, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is one of the leading designers of computer processors and graphics chips used in PCs and data centers. 1. Skyrocketing Revenue Shows Strong Momentum Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Thankfully, AMD’s 28.8% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was incredible. Its growth surpassed the average semiconductor company and shows its offerings resonate with customers. Semiconductors are a cyclical industry, and long-term investors should be prepared for periods of high growth followed by periods of revenue contractions (which can sometimes offer opportune times to buy). 2. Projected Revenue Growth Is Remarkable Forecasted revenues by Wall Street analysts signal a company’s potential. Predictions may not always be accurate, but accelerating growth typically boosts valuation multiples and stock prices while slowing growth does the opposite, though some deceleration is natural as businesses become larger. Over the next 12 months, sell-side analysts expect AMD’s revenue to rise by 34.5%, an improvement versus its 28.8% annualized growth for the past five years. This projection is eye-popping for a company of its scale and suggests its newer products and services will spur better top-line performance. 3. Outstanding Long-Term EPS Growth Analyzing the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS)...
