PM says he has shifted position after becoming alarmed at reports about five-year-olds spending hours on screens Keir Starmer has told MPs he is open to the idea of an Australian-style ban on social media for young people after becoming concerned about the amount of time children and teenagers are spending on their phones. The prime minister told Labour MPs on Monday evening he had become alarmed at reports about five-year-olds spending hours in front of screens each day, as well as increasingly worried about the damage social media is doing to under-16s.

Even after easing Argentina’s tight grip on its currency, President Javier Milei is sticking with a core approach: Intervene, manage and prop up the peso, in an effort to keep inflation down. On Jan. 1, the central bank started letting the peso trade within a range that expands at the pace of monthly inflation and embarked on a plan to accumulate foreign reserves. Both measures won praise on Wall Street as sensible fine tuning to an economic framework investors widely applaud. Behind the scenes, monetary officials are deploying another strategy to counter the impact of pesos going into the market from the central bank’s dollar purchases. They’ve ramped up sales to record levels of securities tied to the official exchange rate, known as dollar-linked. To entice buyers, Milei’s central bank is offering the notes at prices meaningfully cheaper than the official rate — a discount that’s lured investors with implied returns of about 18% a year in dollar terms. The strategy is a complement to Milei’s plan to accumulate foreign reserves. In practice, it’s intervention that also doubles as a form of mopping up excess pesos in the market. “It’s a way for the central bank to intervene in the FX market and support the peso without using dollars, since these debt securities settle in pesos,” said Daniel Chodos , a partner at Buenos Aires-based Dhalmore Capital. “By selling these instruments, it offers cheap FX hedges. That creates incentives to sell spot dollars and buy these securities.” The government is trying to entice banks, funds and companies with instruments that provide currency protection at an attractive price, nudging them to sell dollars in the market while staying long on the greenback through securities tied to a future devaluation. That helps the central bank draw in dollars while shifting part of the hedging demand into the debt market. A central bank spokesperson declined to comment. Trading volume in dollar-linked bonds maturing Jan. 16 and Jan. 30 surged fro...

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arrives to attend the North Atlantic Council plenary meeting at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) summit in The Hague on June 25, 2025. Ludovic Marin | Via Reuters Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google's generative AI engine in operating inside the Pentagon network, as part of a broader push to feed as much of the military's data as possible into the developing technology. "Very soon we will have the world's leading AI models on every unclassified and classified network throughout our department," Hegseth said in a speech at Musk's space flight company, SpaceX, in South Texas. The announcement comes just days after Grok — which is embedded into X, the social media network owned by Musk — drew global outcry and scrutiny for generating highly sexualized deepfake images of people without their consent. Malaysia and Indonesia have blocked Grok , while the U.K.'s independent online safety watchdog announced an investigation Monday. Grok has limited image generation and editing for paying users. Hegseth said Grok will go live inside the Defense Department later this month and announced that he would "make all appropriate data" from the military's IT systems available for "AI exploitation." He also said data from intelligence databases would be fed into AI systems. Hegseth's aggressive push to embrace the still-developing technology stands in contrast to the Biden administration, which, while pushing federal agencies to develop policies and uses for AI, was also wary of misuse. Officials said rules were needed to ensure that the technology, which could be harnessed for mass surveillance, cyberattacks, or even lethal autonomous devices, was being used responsibly. The Biden administration enacted a framework in late 2024 that directed national security agencies to expand their use of the most advanced AI systems but prohibited certain uses, such as appli...

Welcome to India Edition, Bloomberg’s daily dive into what’s moving the worlds of business, markets and politics in this dynamic, fast-paced economy. I’m Menaka Doshi . If you didn’t receive this directly in your inbox, you can subscribe here , and share feedback with us here . Today, I analyze how the Modi government will be viewing Trump’s new Iran threat, and my colleague Saritha Rai looks at how India can improve its presence in the global electronics arena. The Iran Factor India was presented with a new US threat today that could further shrink its relationship with an old friend and pose new questions of its foreign policy. US President Donald Trump has threatened to levy a 25% tariff on countries “doing business” with Iran, adding pressure on the government in Tehran, which has been rocked by widespread protests . To be clear, no tariff notification has been published yet. But, were it to come into effect, here are the many direct and indirect ways that I counted it could impact India. 1. The news sent the price of Brent crude to above $64 a barrel, the highest level since November . A rise that India, which relies mostly on imported fuel, will be watching closely. 2. India is amongst Iran’s top trading partners albeit with less than $4 billion in total annual trade. It’s unlikely that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would risk an additional 25% US levy to protect Indian exporters of rice, tea and pharmaceuticals to Iran. 3. In danger though is India’s use of the strategically-located Chabahar port on Iran’s south western coast that serves as a gateway to reach markets in Afghanistan and Central Asia. India operates the port under a long-term agreement signed with Iran last year and a six-month US sanctions waiver that’s valid until April. It’s not clear if that waiver would protect against a new US levy. 4. Some experts fear there could also be collateral impact on India’s foreign policy independence. Trump’s actions, first against Russia, then Venezuela and no...

UK broadband firm G.Network Communications has been put into administration ahead of a sales process that is expected to kick off imminently, in the latest sign of mounting stress in the sector. Alvarez & Marsal Europe LLP has been appointed as administrator for the company, according to a statement from the professional services firm, which said it will be marketing the business for a sale in the coming weeks. The move comes after affiliates of investment firm FitzWalter Capital bought G.Network’s secured debt and equity from previous owners USS and Cube Infrastructure Managers in early January. The Financial Times earlier reported that G.Network had applied to file for administration. The heavily-indebted UK alternative network sector has been struggling over the past year. While investors initially threw money at emerging players to build out broadband coverage and compete with dominant firms like BT Group Plc , many have failed to achieve the scale required to remain viable due to small customer bases and patchy coverage. Read: Broadband Providers’ Roll-Out Ambitions Hit Hurdles: The Brink “G.Network’s capital structure has become unsustainable in recent years and in response, the company has been exploring options with its stakeholders,” according to the statement from Alvarez & Marsal. Analysts expect the altnet industry in Europe to consolidate, with bigger and stronger players buying out smaller ones. Among others in the sector, UK fiber challenger brand Netomnia Ltd. was said last year to be courting multiple buyers for a potential sale. G.Network reported £407.9 million ($549.5 million) of total liabilities and a pretax loss of £59.5 million for the year ended March 2024, according to its latest publicly available filings.

Former Liverpool legends meet for the fifth time in international football, with Salah still waiting for meaningful victory The Olembe Stadium, Yaoundé, 6 February 2022, the Africa Cup of Nations final. Senegal and Egypt drew 0-0. Penalties followed. The first three kicks were scored, then Egypt’s Mohamed Abdelmonem hit the post. Mohamed Abou Gabal immediately saved from Bouna Sarr but Eduard Mendy saved the fourth Egyptian effort, from Mohanad Lasheen. After four penalties each, Senegal led 3-2; Sadio Mané had the chance to win it. Mané had missed a fifth-minute penalty in the game. He’d missed a penalty against Cameroon in the shootout after the quarter-final in Franceville in 2017. “I can’t explain how tough it was for me,” Mané said. “I was sleeping four or five hours a night, five hours maximum. I had a big pressure in my head. I would go to bed and wake up maybe at 4am and I could not sleep any more … Everybody knew I was obsessed about this tournament and wanted to win it with my country … Thinking about this penalty I can say it was one of the hardest things in my life.” Continue reading...
