Are influencers really the biggest problem facing waiting staff? Not compared with the customer who demanded I pick up her dog’s poo ... Influencers have had a bad time of it at restaurants recently. There they are, just trying to record a quick video and take a few pictures of their lunch, and restaurateur Jeremy King (of the Ivy and the Wolseley in London) goes and writes an article saying they’re ruining the dining experience of “bona fide guests” – something he says staff are “desperately trying to stop”. I’ve read pieces calling TikTok the end of the London restaurant scene. Friends’ parents have even said they would get up and leave if they were sitting next to anyone filming their meal. This surprises me. I have worked as a waitress in restaurants for more than five years, a job I love, and the joys of which most often come from the customers I serve. Of course, for every 10 great customers, you’re bound to get one that’s not so great – I’ve come across my fair share of those. Continue reading...

Atmospheric machine-gun has fired storm after deadly storm at the region this year, leaving a trail of widespread destruction For Andrés Sánchez Barea, in Spain, it was the fear that arose when water started to spurt from plug sockets. For Nelson Duarte, in Portugal, it was the helplessness that hit as violent winds smacked down trees and tore tiles from roofs. For Amal Essuide, in Morocco, it was the reality that dawned when a corpse was pulled onboard a boat in the flooded medina. Each moment of horror is a fragment of the destruction wrought by an atmospheric machine-gun that in recent weeks has fired storm after storm at the western Mediterranean. Scientists do not know if climate breakdown helped pull the trigger, but research suggests it loaded the chamber with bigger bullets. Continue reading...
Centuries-old wells restored to provide drinking water as parts of the country head towards “day zero” when no water will be available A loud cheer and sounds of clapping reverberated around Bansilalpet, a neighbourhood in Hyderabad, when the first trickle of clean water dribbled out of the ground.

Centuries-old wells restored to provide drinking water as parts of the country head towards “day zero” when no water will be available A loud cheer and sounds of clapping reverberated around Bansilalpet, a neighbourhood in Hyderabad, when the first trickle of clean water dribbled out of the ground. After an 18-month effort to clear out 3,000 tonnes of rubbish and restore the stone walls and adjacent area, the 17th-century Bansilalpet stepwell had become a source of clean drinking water for the first time in four decades. “It was such a joyous moment to see water collecting into the stepwell after clearing 40 years of garbage,” says Hajira Adeeb, a 45-year-old resident of Bansilalpet, who grew up seeing the well become transformed from the community’s water source to a dumping ground. “I visit almost every day. The area is clean and lit up in the evenings. I enjoy sitting there.” Continue reading...

Since the 1960s, global GDP has been rapidly rising and living standards have reached record highs. But something else has been rocketing up too – carbon emissions. For years, scientists and economists have been asking: is it possible to grow without heating and polluting the Earth? And as the climate becomes more unstable, the issue is only becoming more urgent. Madeleine Finlay hears from two economists arguing for a change in how we measure a country’s success. Nick Stern is professor of economics and government at the London School of Economics and an advocate of green growth, an approach to growth that prioritises green industry. Jason Hickel is a political economist and professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona who advocates degrowth, shrinking parts of the economy that do not advance our social and ecological goals.

Fans of the hit noughties series will be delighted to see the original cast back at Sacred Heart hospital. But this reboot isn’t afraid to move with the times Bill Lawrence is on a tear. This is the man who gave us Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and who is days away from launching Rooster, the Steve Carell sitcom that HBO already sees as the anchor to its comedy output. At this stage in his career, Lawrence could blow his nose and the contents of his tissue would become a beloved heartwarming comedy series. So it’s interesting that, of all his available options, Lawrence has instead decided to revive Scrubs. It’s a show with a big footprint – when Friends ended, you could argue that it became the biggest sitcom on Earth – but it still felt very much of its time. It was a medical comedy that not only derived a lot of its laughs from Family Guy-style cutaway skits, back when they counted as new and exciting, but also had more than one character who specialised in baroque cruelty, which doesn’t seem particularly on-brand for Lawrence any more. Ted Lasso would never. Continue reading...
To even be talking about this drastic deportation policy is a sign the far right is winning.

To even be talking about this drastic deportation policy is a sign the far right is winning. In Italy, it’s more than just talk Meeting Tommy Robinson earlier this month, the French anti-immigration politician Éric Zemmour bluntly summed up his mission: “Politics needs to defeat demographics.” Given rising numbers of Muslims, he said, there was perhaps “10 to 20 years” left to save Europe from “disappearing”. Both men placed their hopes in one policy to reverse the “invasion”: remigration. At root, remigration means using mass deportations in order to curtail minority – especially Muslim – populations. In France’s 2022 presidential election, Zemmour pledged the creation of a “ministry of remigration” meant to remove “1 million” people , targeting undocumented and dual-national criminals. In practice, supporters of the idea often blur distinctions between criminals and non-criminals, longer-standing citizens and recent migrants, the undocumented and those with settled status.

After a nine-year-old girl was kidnapped and taken from Spain to Bolivia, authorities feared the worst. They found her in the rainforest nine months later – but that wasn’t the end of her ordeal On 27 August 2013, a tall, spirited nine-year-old girl with long, well-brushed hair boarded an overnight coach in Barcelona. Nada Itrab was bright and observant. At school, she regularly came top of her class. Even now, she carried a notebook, eager to record the things she would discover on this trip. She had been given a camera, too – a cheap, lilac-coloured digital model which, since she was unused to luxuries, seemed to her like a treasure. In eight hours, Nada would be at Barajas airport in the Spanish capital, Madrid. She would take her first flight, heading for Bolivia’s largest city, Santa Cruz de la Sierra. To her, the trip was an adventure, like something from the storybooks that she read at her local library in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, a city just south of Barcelona. The daughter of undocumented immigrants from Morocco, Nada had lived there since she was four. Continue reading...
Arts theatre, Cambridge Marital uncoupling may not be the social taboo it was in the 1920s, but this sumptuous revival delivers timeless pathos with the witty barbs ‘What’s the use of arguing and bickering like this?” a husband asks his wife in Easy Virtue. “It doesn’t lead anywhere.” He’s wrong, of course: it’s this kind of verbal fencing and simmering fury that would lead a 25-year-old Noël Cowa...
Arts theatre, Cambridge Marital uncoupling may not be the social taboo it was in the 1920s, but this sumptuous revival delivers timeless pathos with the witty barbs ‘What’s the use of arguing and bickering like this?” a husband asks his wife in Easy Virtue. “It doesn’t lead anywhere.” He’s wrong, of course: it’s this kind of verbal fencing and simmering fury that would lead a 25-year-old Noël Coward to stardom. Audiences may not know this early work, but in Trevor Nunn’s luxuriant new production they will know exactly where they are. Simon Higlett’s sumptuous drawing-room set comes complete with marble staircase for doleful exits and dramatic entrances and his 1920s outfits are accompanied by some of the best finger waves you’ll see outside Strictly’s Charleston week. At the Arts theatre, Cambridge , until 7 March Continue reading...

Societal collapses happen more often than you think, and there’s much we can learn from the past to avoid or, at least, delay another one. This week’s guest on Zero is Luke Kemp, author of Goliath's Curse , which draws lessons from the rise and fall of societies over 5,000 years of human history. Akshat Rathi asks Luke whether our current moment — with climate change and AI — makes us uniquely vulnerable to societal collapse or more resilient than we might think.

Akshat Rathi Welcome to Zero, I am Akshat Rathi. This week: Societal collapse and how to avoid it. Every era has its moment of crisis, where it feels like the world is going to come to a screeching halt. The 20th century saw world wars, followed by the constant spectre of nuclear armageddon. At the turn of the millennium, it was the Y2K bug that led to doomers getting lots of airtime. And for me, growing up in India, there was no escape from Bollywood movies that reminded us all that we were living in what Hindus call the Kali Yuga, the era of darkness, the final stage where God will destroy evil and kickstart the era of renewal. The 21st century comes with its own threats. Not only the one this podcast focuses most on, climate change, but also pandemics, and most recently, the idea that an AI gone rogue will think humans are no longer useful and turn us all into paperclips. Jokes aside, for many, the fear of imminent societal collapse has grown with the realization that global politics is no longer the same. As Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney put it recently, a rupture has taken place. Collapse is not a cheery subject. But it turns out, it's also something that happens frequently. And there's a lot we can learn from...

MF3d C3.ai ( AI ) shares slipped 22% in extended trading on Wednesday after the company posted a quarterly earnings miss and forecast revenue below expectations, pointing to soft results in North America and Europe while unveiling job cuts. Fiscal third quarter results were “clearly inadequate and well below our objectives. We failed to close business as planned, and in particular, our performance in North America and Europe was disappointing,” CEO Stephen Ehikian said on the post-earnings conference call. Ehikian outlined a comprehensive execution plan with five strategic initiatives that include immediate rightsizing of cost structure and cash burn and flattening the sales organization while increasing development velocity by leveraging Agentic AI across business units. He announced a major restructuring, cutting $135M in expenses, including $60M from a 26% headcount reduction, and said workforce changes are largely complete. In terms of guidance, C3.ai ( AI ) projected total revenue of $48.0 – $52.0 million for Q4, well below the consensus estimate of $77.72 million. For the full year, total revenue is expected to reach $246.7 – $250.7 million, compared with the consensus forecast of $298.74 million. CFO Hitesh Lath noted that “projected cost savings are expected to be fully realized starting the second half of fiscal year '27.” When sought clarity on recurring vs. one-time business, Ehikian said, “90% of our revenue this quarter came from subscription, and the remaining 10% came from professional services. And as it relates to subscription revenue, there was no nonrecurring subscription revenue in the quarter.” In response to a follow-up question from Morgan Stanley analyst Oscar Saavedra regarding regional weakness, Ehikian said, “I was going to say simply sales execution, full stop. And we're going to fix that… So I think sales execution, first and foremost, that falls on me full stop. I own that, and I'm going to fix that.” The company, however, highlighted s...

RealPeopleGroup/E+ via Getty Images The last few months have been a really good time for shareholders of Metropolitan Bank ( MCB ). Since I downgraded the stock back in September of last year, shares have risen 17.6%. That is significantly greater than the 6.8% jump that the S&P 500 saw. While this means that I downgraded the stock early, I am still happy with my overall assessment of it. From the time I originally rated it a ‘strong buy’ back in December of 2023 until I finally took a neutral stance on it late last year, the stock jumped 91.6%. That's well above the 41.5% increase that the market experienced. Although the stock has moved significantly higher in recent months, I wouldn't say that it's time to downgrade the business just yet. Yes, the stock is priced at rather lofty multiples on an absolute basis. Relative to other similar firms, however, it's priced around the middle of the group. Add on top of this the fact that asset quality is strong, and I would say that maintaining it as a ‘hold’ candidate is the right move here. I Can’t Turn Bearish Here As of this writing, the newest data that we have regarding Metropolitan Bank covers through the last quarter of the company's 2025 fiscal year . Deposits for that time amounted to $7.38 billion. For context, back in 2024, deposits were only $5.98 billion. This is a fantastic amount of expansion in such a short window of time. This growth was made possible by the company continuing to focus strategically on ways to broaden its base of core deposits across several categories, including money market accounts, checking and savings accounts, and more. What's really impressive is that the company emphasized organic growth here as opposed to wholesale funding. This means that the overall cost structure of the business is lower than it otherwise would be. One thing that I'm certainly happy about here is that, in addition to deposits expanding nicely, the company is not overly reliant on uninsured deposits. In fact, ba...
