Research also shows teenagers in care are four times more likely to try to end their lives than peers with no care history One in four teenagers in care have attempted to end their own life, and are four times more likely to do so than their peers with no care experience, according to a landmark study. The research analysed data from the millennium cohort study, which follows the lives of 19,000 people born in the UK between 2000 and 2002, and considered how out of home care, including foster, residential and kinship care, affected the social and mental health outcomes of the participants.

A former mayor who quit her job amid a scandal over an alleged affair with a married subordinate has staged a political comeback in Japan, in a result analysts say shows how attitudes towards women in public life are shifting. Akira Ogawa, 43, was re-elected as mayor of Maebashi, the capital of Gunma prefecture, on Monday, mere months after resigning under intense public pressure. Running as an independent, Ogawa secured nearly 63,000 votes – around 10,000 more than her closest challenger –...

From his competitive debut to his first spell as interim, the former midfielder has seen much at Old Trafford over the past two decades 23 August 2006, Charlton 0 -3 Manchester United The 25‑year‑old new signing was eased into United’s midfield as a second-half substitute in the second game of the season, having picked up a small injury on the pre‑season tour. With Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes suspended, Sir Alex Ferguson started with John O’Shea and Darren Fletcher in central midfield, with the Scot (sporting a mullet) opening the scoring after Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo had hit the woodwork. Carrick was one of four future United managers in the side, alongside Fletcher, Giggs and Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who rounded off the win with a late goal after Louis Saha had doubled United’s lead. Solskjær’s goal was his first in the league in three injury-hit years, and the Norwegian, also a substitute, should have had another when Carrick squared a perfect pass to the striker, only for Charlton’s Scott Carson to make an outstanding save. With Carrick an instant success at United that season, the club roared to the title in May 2007, their first in four years. Continue reading...

AI chip provider Cerebras Systems Inc. is in talks to raise roughly $1 billion in a new funding round, according to a person familiar with the matter, bolstering the company’s efforts to compete with Nvidia Corp. The round would value the startup at $22 billion before the investment, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. The company still plans to move ahead with an initial public offering, the person said. The fundraising round would bring fresh momentum to a company seeking to challenge the dominance of Nvidia, the top provider of AI processors. A representative for Cerebras declined to comment. Cerebras has big ambitions. Chief Executive Officer Andrew Feldman claims his hardware runs AI models multiple times faster than Nvidia systems. He also offers remote computing services to customers such as Meta Platforms Inc. , International Business Machines Corp. and Mistral AI. The latest valuation would represent a significant increase from a September investment round , when Cerebras was valued at $8.1 billion. Since then, Nvidia signed a licensing deal with startup Groq and acquired much of that company’s chip talent, boosting enthusiasm for AI chip ventures. Another aspiring Nvidia rival, a startup named Etched, raised about $500 million in a new funding round at a $5 billion valuation, according to people familiar with the matter. The Information reported earlier on the Cerebras fundraising round. Cerebras is heavily reliant on business from Abu Dhabi AI firm G42, a relationship that has led to a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US.

‘I think my players were angry. The spirit was there’ Newcastle beaten 2-0 in Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg Pep Guardiola’s evident delight at Manchester City’s 2-0 win at Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final was tempered by the lengthy video assistant referee delay that disallowed what would have been Antoine Semenyo’s second goal of the game. It prompted Manchester City’s manager to launch into an epic, and often incomprehensible, rant about VAR and its perceived failings or, more pertinently, non-involvements during City’s 2-1 defeat at Newcastle in November and last season’s FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace.

Michigan County Clerk Discovers 239 Non-Citizens Selected For Jury Duty Over 4-Month Period, With 14 Registered To Vote Authored by Debra Heine via American Greatness, Macomb County Clerk Anthony G. Forlini announced Monday that noncitizens have been appearing in the Michigan county’s jury pool “at an alarming rate” and many of them are registered to vote. The data indicates that many noncitizens have potentially sat on juries and/or illegally voted in elections. During a press conference in the courthouse jury room in Mount Clemens, MI, Forlini stated that an internal review of the county identified 239 noncitizens selected for jury duty over a four-month period from September 5, 2025, to January 8, 2026. The jury pool is drawn from the Michigan Secretary of State’s driver’s license database, which does not consistently flag citizenship status, allowing noncitizens—such as lawful permanent residents with green cards—to be included. Forlini, who is running for Secretary of State, emphasized that noncitizens are ineligible for jury duty under Michigan law. Upon cross-checking the 239 noncitizens against the state’s Qualified Voter File (QVF), Forlini’s office found that 14 had been registered to vote at some point, with three individuals appearing to have cast ballots, including one who voted multiple times. This was just one county in Michigan over a four month period. “We need to bring these issues to light, we need to be able to show a light on this and say, ‘Hey, there’s a problem,’” Forlini said. “Secretary of State offices need to verify all applications against federal databases. I think this is critically important.” He said the three noncitizens who voted have been referred to county Corporation Counsel for consideration of felony charges. The clerk expressed concern that the current system relies on self-reporting, meaning noncitizens could serve on juries without being identified, potentially compromising the integrity of the judicial process. He also high...

Delta Air Lines gave a profit forecast that fell short of Wall Street estimates, with the major US airline taking a more cautious view for 2026 after the aviation industry emerged from a volatile year. As the first major US airline to report earnings, investors look to Delta for signs on the strength of the industry. The carrier’s relatively tepid forecast stands in contrast with CEO Ed Bastian’s optimism at the start of 2025 before President Donald Trump’s campaign to reset global trade and other disruptions battered flying, forcing airlines into reverse. Savanthi Syth, Managing Director for Airlines and Advanced Air Mobility at Raymond James, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. She speaks with Tim Stenovec and Christina Ruffini.
