South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has bluntly said that Seoul cannot prevent the United States from redeploying military assets from the peninsula, raising concerns about the shifting role of American forces stationed in the country. Analysts say the episode exposes a stark reality for Seoul: US Forces Korea (USFK) are increasingly being used for missions beyond deterring North Korea as Washington pushes for greater “ strategic flexibility ” for its troops overseas. Lee made the remarks after reports that the US was moving parts of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) anti-missile system from South Korea to the Middle East amid the ongoing regional crisis. Advertisement Speaking during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Lee said the reported redeployment of US air defence systems had drawn significant public attention. “We have expressed opposition to the relocation of some air defence batteries by the US forces here for their own military needs,” Lee said.

Rarely has a first touch carried so much consequence. As the Philippines’ second goal sailed untouched into the back of the net, sealing their victory, the clock started ticking for their opponents: the Iranian women’s team were now out of the Asian Cup tournament. They were going home. To a land ravaged by war, to the hands of a regime that had branded them “wartime traitors” for failing to sing their national anthem in their opening match of the tournament. But already, machinations were under way. For days, some members of the Iranian team had been trying to find a way to stay. ‘Woman life freedom’ The Iranian women’s team arrived at the Women’s Asian Cup unfancied against more match-hardened opposition. But their very presence was a victory for their country, a place where women’s rights are violently and viciously curtailed, where “Woman life freedom”, a Kurdish-rooted feminist slogan, had become a rallying cry for an entire oppressed nation. Their first match, against South Korea, took place less than 48 hours after US and Israeli airstrikes devastated their homeland. The players stood resolutely silent while their nation’s anthem was played. On state-run television, the response was furious invective, and the message was clear: “I must emphasise that traitors during wartime should be dealt with more severely,” host Mohammad Reza Shahbazi said.

Photograph: Martin Rickett/PA “The stain of dishonour and treason must remain on their foreheads, and they must face a definitive and severe confrontation.” The pressure brought to bear on the team – tightly sequestered in the team hotel, their movements and communications monitored by team security presumed to be members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps – became apparent at their next match. When the Iranian national anthem was played before the team played Australia’s Matildas, every member of the team saluted and sang. Already, some...

(RTTNews) - The Singapore stock market bounced higher again on Tuesday, one day after snapping the two-day winning streak in which it had advanced more than 35 points or 0.7 percent. The Straits Times Index now rests just above the 4,860-point plateau although it may spin its wheels on Wednesday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is fairly flat as traders await further developments in the Middle East conflict. The European markets were up and the U.S. bourses were mixed and flat and the Asian markets are likely to follow the latter lead. The STI finished sharply higher on Tuesday following gains from the financial shares, property stocks and industrial issues. For the day, the index jumped 104.03 points or 2.19 percent to finish at 4,860.64 after trading between 4,798.81 and 4,865.29. Among the actives, CapitaLand Ascendas REIT added 0.79 percent, while CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, CapitaLand Investment improved 1.06 percent, City Developments spiked 3.50 percent, DBS Group and Singapore Airlines both jumped 2.47 percent, DFI Retail Group elevated 1.87 percent, Genting Singapore expanded 2.24 percent, Hongkong Land skyrocketed 4.26 percent, Keppel Ltd vaulted 2.28 percent, Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust gained 0.74 percent, Mapletree Industrial Trust increased 0.83 percent, Mapletree Logistics Trust was up 0.83 percent, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation strengthened 2.30 percent, SATS accelerated 2.85 percent, Seatrium Limited advanced 1.32 percent, SembCorp Industries rose 0.35 percent, Singapore Exchange soared 4.23 percent, Singapore Technologies Engineering perked 0.19 percent, SingTel climbed 1.41 percent, United Overseas Bank collected 2.08 percent, UOL Group rallied 2.60 percent, Wilmar International surged 4.25 percent, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding tumbled 1.22 percent and Keppel DC REIT and Thai Beverage were unchanged.

Judicial Sabotage? Obama Judge Blocks Trump Efficiency Reforms For Deportation Appeals A federal judge slammed the brakes on one of the Trump administration's most aggressive moves yet to make the immigration appeals process more efficient, and he did it the night before the rule was set to go live. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss , an Obama appointee in Washington, D.C., issued his ruling late Sunday, March 8, 2026, vacating the core provisions of an interim final rule from the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). The rule, scheduled to take effect the following morning, would have fundamentally restructured how the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) handles cases. EOIR slashed the time to file a notice of appeal of an immigration judge's decision from 30 days to 10. Any issue not raised in that notice was automatically treated as waived. And unless the BIA voted within 10 days to refer a case to the full board, the appeal faced summary dismissal — end of the road, no hearing. For most appellants, that's exactly what would have happened. And it was a critical reform. The BIA's backlog has ballooned from 37,285 pending appeals at the end of fiscal year 2015 to 202,946 by the end of fiscal year 2025 . EOIR said the rule would streamline appellate review and cut through the bureaucratic paralysis that's made the immigration court system a joke. The Trump administration framed the changes as essential to its deportation mandate. But Judge Moss couldn’t stomach efficiency when it threatened the open-borders crowd’s playbook. He vacated the heart of the rule, claiming EOIR violated the Administrative Procedure Act by skipping public comment. Moss lectured that “Issues that are so fundamental to the rights of tens of thousands of individuals (and that will guide how organizations and lawyers present their claims to the BIA) ought to be considered and addressed before - rather than after - a rule takes effect.” Of course, that argument doe...

Training standard AI models against a diverse pool of opponents — rather than building complex hardcoded coordination rules — is enough to produce cooperative multi-agent systems that adapt to each other on the fly. That's the finding from Google's Paradigms of Intelligence team, which argues the approach offers a scalable and computationally efficient blueprint for enterprise multi-agent deployments without requiring specialized scaffolding. The technique works by training an LLM agent via decentralized reinforcement learning against a mixed pool of opponents — some actively learning, some static and rule-based. Instead of hardcoded rules, the agent uses in-context learning to read each interaction and adapt its behavior in real time. Why multi-agent systems keep fighting each other The AI landscape is rapidly shifting away from isolated systems toward a fleet of agents that must negotiate, collaborate, and operate in shared spaces simultaneously. In multi-agent systems, the success of a task depends on the interactions and behaviors of multiple entities as opposed to a single agent. The central friction in these multi-agent systems is that their interactions frequently involve competing goals. Because these autonomous agents are designed to maximize their own specific metrics, ensuring they don't actively undermine one another in these mixed-motive scenarios is incredibly difficult. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) tries to address this problem by training multiple AI agents operating, interacting, and learning in the same shared environment at the same time. However, in real-world enterprise architectures, a single, centralized system rarely has visibility over or controls every moving part. Developers must rely on decentralized MARL, where individual agents must figure out how to interact with others while only having access to their own limited, local data and observations. One of the main problems with decentralized MARL is that the agents frequently ...

Banners are not always that easy to unfurl. Particularly on the sort of capriciously breezy March nights when sheeting emblazoned with the message “Budapest awaits me” refuses to be pulled taut and simply sags in the middle. For a while before kick‑off it was easy to interpret the ongoing struggles of that banner’s owners to successfully hoist it in the Gallowgate End as emblematic of the travails awaiting Newcastle. But then, at the very last minute, and to widespread surprise, the ends of that fabric were finally pulled sufficiently tight and the arms holding it somehow found the necessary strength to elevate it high above the sea of black and white clad bodies around them. An underwhelming Barcelona would soon be similarly startled by the show of power and pace from a Newcastle team who lifted their game to the point where a famous victory was in touching distance. Although Lamine Yamal’s equalising penalty in stoppage time makes Hansi Flick’s team favourites before the second leg in Catalonia next Wednesday, Eddie Howe’s side refused to conform to the assumption that their Champions League journey will, inevitably, end at Camp Nou. Indeed right from the early exchanges when Will Osula and Anthony Elanga provoked chaos in the penalty area, it was just possible to see the road to the final in Budapest opening up and transporting Howe’s class of 2025‑26 all the way back to the city that was the venue for their European Fairs Cup triumph in 1969. By the moment, late in the second half, when Harvey Barnes volleyed Jacob Murphy’s sublime cross beyond Joan García, Lamine Yamal had been thoroughly tamed by Lewis Hall and Newcastle seemed en route to their first clean sheet in 14 games in all competitions. Then, as so often happens here these days, their defensive compass went awry, Dani Olmo cleverly encouraged Malick Thiaw to foul him in the area and Lamine Yamal’s penalty left Aaron Ramsdale helpless. “I’m happy with 1-1,” Flick said. “It was not easy. I’m sure we’ll ...

Polymarket partners with Palantir Technologies to deploy AI monitoring tool for sports prediction markets and strengthen compliance oversight. Prediction market platform Polymarket is strengthening its market surveillance systems through a new artificial intelligence partnership. The company confirmed that they are working with a company called Palantir Technologies to develop sophisticated monitoring tools for sports-related prediction markets. The initiative is to detect suspicious trading and enhance compliance with these markets as they grow and expand. AI Monitoring System Targets Market Manipulation Risks The monitoring platform is developed atop the Vergence AI engine developed by Palantir Technologies and TWG AI. The technology will analyze trading activity over Polymarket’s sports prediction contracts.

It's far from just an artificial intelligence (AI) company, but it makes one particular component critical to AI. Samsung's bread and butter is its electronics business, which includes semiconductorsand, critically, memory hardware, namely random access memory (RAM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM). Both of these are in extreme demand due to the needs of AI. And Samsung is one of only three companies that dominate the memory market. According to CNBC, TrendForce, a Taiwanese researcher covering the memory market, expects average DRAM prices to rise 50%-55% over the first quarter of 2026. And in early February, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said that he expected the memory shortage to last for at least two more years.

Bank of America reinstated coverage of Qualcomm (NasdaqGS:QCOM) with an Underperform rating, flagging multi billion dollar revenue risks tied to major customers reducing chip orders. Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi are expected to scale back reliance on Qualcomm components over the next several years, with the analyst citing potential pressure through 2028. Qualcomm announced a new automotive AI partnership with UK based self driving startup Wayve, integrating Wayve’s driver software into the Snapdragon Ride platform. The Wayve collaboration is aimed at helping carmakers deploy next generation driver assistance and automated driving features on Qualcomm powered systems. Qualcomm sits at the center of the smartphone and wireless ecosystem, and that concentration on mobile is exactly what many investors are rechecking now. With large customers planning to use more in house chips, the spotlight is shifting to Qualcomm’s push into automotive, IoT, and AI as it looks to broaden where its revenue comes from. The new tie up with Wayve gives investors a fresh data point on how Qualcomm is trying to build a role in assisted and automated driving. As the Apple and Android device transitions play out, attention may focus on how quickly deals such as Snapdragon Ride plus Wayve can scale and what that might mean for Qualcomm’s mix of businesses over time.

Igor Tudor insisted that giving the 22-year-old Antonin Kinsky just his second start of the season and then taking him off again in the 17th minute of Tottenham’s humiliating 5-2 defeat at Atlético Madrid was the right decision, with the interim head coach saying he did so to protect the goalkeeper. Kinsky, playing in place of Guglielmo Vicario, was withdrawn after two dreadful errors handed Atlético the first and third goals, with his teammates Connor Gallagher, Dominic Solanke and João Palhinha following up the tunnel to offer their support. Kinsky had slipped over for the first goal, handing Atlético the ball inside his own area, before Micky van de Ven slipped for the second. After Kinsky’s second error, in which he had kicked the ball against his own leg leaving Julián Alvarez with an open goal to make it 3-0, Cristian Romero had appeared to be suggesting that Tudor make the change. The coach, though, described the early substitution as “my decision, of course”. Tudor said: “What happened is very rare. I’ve been coaching for 15 years, I’ve never done this. It was necessary to preserve the guy, preserve the team. Incredible situation, nothing to comment.” Spurs have now lost six games in a row for the first time in their history and are one point above the Premier League relegation zone. Tudor explained Kinsky’s selection in light of Tottenham’s domestic plight, saying: “It was, before the game, the right choice to do in the moment like we are, with the pressure on Vicario, another competition. Tony is a very good goalkeeper. It was for me the right decision. After this, of course, it’s easy to say that it was not the right decision. So I explained to Tony also, speaking after: he’s the right guy and a good goalkeeper. “Unfortunately, it happened in this big game, these mistakes. He was sorry. The team is with him, me too. I was speaking with him. He understands the moment, he understands why he goes out. As I said, he’s a very good goalkeeper. We are with him, ...

Critical Metals (CRML +12.86%) clearly became a critical stock for more than a few investors on the second trading day of the week. In retrospect, that wasn't a surprise, as a major rally in the shares was sparked by the lithium and rare-earth miner's major exploratory project. 30 million reasons to be bullish Before market open on Tuesday, Critical Metals announced its board of directors had authorized a $30 million "acceleration program" for the project, a rare-earth play in Greenland called Tanbreez. The company wrote that this investment "will significantly advance drilling, infrastructure, engineering design and metallurgical programs." It set a timeline, stating that the first ore production from Tanbreez should occur in the fourth quarter of 2028 or the first quarter of 2029. Exports of concentrate should launch by the start of the third quarter of 2029. This move is significant because it's the beginning of Critical Metals' shift in the project from exploration to development and production. The company said that the acceleration program would see $12.5 million devoted to exploration and production this year, while $15 million is intended for infrastructure acquisitions in both Greenland and Australia.
