Treat Barron Trump account of alleged attack with caution, says judge Barron Trump, the US president's fifth child, said he met the alleged victim on social media Matvei Rumiantsev, 22, is accused of assault, actual bodily harm, two counts of rape, intentional strangulation and perverting the course of justice by pressuring the woman to withdraw her complaints. On Monday, a judge told Snaresbrook Crown Court that his account could be "mistaken or biased" by his friendship with the woman and warned jurors not to rely on it as the main basis for a conviction. Barron Trump, 19, contacted UK police from the US after allegedly seeing his friend being "beat up" during a video call last year. A judge has told jurors to treat evidence from Donald Trump's youngest son with caution in a trial over an alleged attack on his friend. Giving legal directions on Monday, Mr Justice Bennathan KC said Trump had not given evidence under oath or been cross-examined. "If he had done so, no doubt he could have been asked about things such as whether he ever got a good view of what happened, whether he actually saw [the complainant] being assaulted, or jumped to this conclusion on the basis of her screams," the judge said. He added: "He might also have been asked whether his perception was biased because he was close friends with [the complainant]." The judge said hearsay evidence could be considered, but jurors should be "careful" as it had not been given under oath and should "not convict the defendant mainly in reliance on it." Trump contacted the police on 18 January last year, shortly after he had a video call with the alleged victim. "I'm calling from the US, uh I just got a call from a girl, you know, she's getting beat up," he said, according to a transcript of the call released by the Crown Prosecution Service. In an email sent to police in May, Trump said that what he saw had been "very brief indeed but indeed prevalent," adding: "As per evidence, I do not have any." The court wa...

Garmin Ltd. (NYSE:GRMN) is included among the 12 Most Profitable Dividend Stocks to Buy in 2026. Barclays Turns More Constructive on Garmin (GRMN) as Valuation Looks Undemanding On January 16, Barclays upgraded Garmin Ltd. (NYSE:GRMN) to Equal Weight from Underweight and raised its price target to $217 from $208. The shift reflects a more constructive view on the stock, driven by what the firm described as an “undemanding” valuation, Garmin’s diversified business lines, and steady momentum in wearables, “that continues to benefit from positive secular trends around wellness.” The call followed fresh product news earlier in the month. On January 6, Garmin and Meta unveiled an automotive OEM proof-of-concept that blends Meta’s Neural Band and electromyography technology with Garmin’s Unified Cabin in-vehicle platform. The concept was introduced at CES 2026. It allows passengers to control select infotainment features through simple hand gestures detected by the EMG band, using movements of the thumb, index, and middle fingers. The idea is to move beyond touchscreens and create a more relaxed, intuitive in-car experience, especially for passengers rather than drivers. Meta’s Neural Band is a different take on wearables. It reads subtle neural signals from muscles in the wrist and converts them into digital commands. By relying on EMG technology, the device can pick up a wide range of gestures, making interaction with computers and vehicles feel more fluid and natural. Garmin Ltd. (NYSE:GRMN) is a Switzerland-based company best known for its GPS navigation products, wearables, and wireless devices, serving consumers across automotive, fitness, aviation, marine, and outdoor markets. While we acknowledge the potential of GRMN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you’re looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring tre...

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl says the German club are in talks with Harry Kane about extending the striker's contract. The 32-year-old England captain joined on a four-year deal from Tottenham in August 2023 in a move worth an initial 100m euros (£86.4m). Kane has since scored 119 goals and registered 30 assists in 126 games for Bayern and clinched the first major trophy of his career when he helped them win the 2024-25 Bundesliga title. "We're talking to Harry, we're talking," Eberl said at a Bundesliga event in Frankfurt. "Everyone knows at some point a decision has to be made."

Shares of major US insurers tumbled after the Wall Street Journal reported that the US would hold payments to private Medicare plans flat next year, a huge disappointment for investors. Shares of UnitedHealth Group Inc. fell as much as 9.3% in afterhours trading in New York Monday, while CVS Health Corp. dropped as much as 10% and Humana Inc. sank more than 15%. Medicare Advantage payment rates will rise by just 0.09% in 2027, the paper said, citing officials from the White House and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services before the official announcement was out. CMS didn’t immediately respond to a call for comment. The update will mean barely any increase for Medicare insurers that have seen profits squeezed by rising care expenses and what they call insufficient funding from the government. The preliminary rates need to be finalized in the months ahead, leaving room for them to increase. Analysts from TD Cowen forecast a rate increase of 5% to 6% in a Jan. 26 note, and said anything below 4% would likely pressure stocks. The rates are crucial to big insurers including UnitedHealth Group Inc. , CVS Health Corp. and Humana Inc. Medicare Advantage, the private version of the federal health benefit for seniors, has powered insurers’ growth for more than a decade. But in recent years, the business has become less profitable for insurers, with several seeing stock-price meltdowns after new payment rules diminished profits. Higher payments help them cover medical costs, sweeten benefits for seniors and boost profits, while smaller increases can squeeze margins. Medicare Advantage covered almost 34 million people in 2024, more than half of those eligible, and the US paid plans $494 billion, according to estimates from the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission , which advises Congress. Covering people through Medicare Advantage cost the government 20% more, or $84 billion in 2025, compared to the traditional program, the group estimates. The commission has long urge...

当地时间1月26日下午，北约秘书长吕特在欧洲议会回答议员提问时称，“如果有人认为欧盟或整个欧洲可以在没有美国的情况下保卫自己，那就继续做梦吧”。 吕特称，如果欧洲想完全实现防务自主，各国国防开支占其国内生产总值（GDP）的比例将不得不大幅增加到10%，并且还需要建设自己的核能力，这又将花费数十亿欧元。 吕特此番言论正值北约内部因格陵兰岛问题而矛盾加剧之际。对吕特这番言论，目前有关欧洲国家尚无回应。 近些年来，法国等国一直呼吁欧洲构建战略自主。自特朗普政府去年警告“其安全重心在别处，欧洲须自保”后，支持这一立场的声音渐强。（央视）
