SK Hynix told investors this week it received "tremendously positive" feedback on its proposed U.S. listing as the chipmaker benefits from strong demand for advanced memory semiconductors needed to run AI data centers, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday. SK Hynix told some investors this week that it had "tremendously positive" feedback from stockholders to its U.S. listing plan given AI demand and the company's competitive position in the memory-chip market, the person said. The company, a major supplier to Nvidia, expects a U.S. listing to broaden its investor base, as some U.S.-based institutional investors invest in U.S.-listed stocks only due to internal mandates, the person said.

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Uber ( NYSE: UBER ) has committed nearly $500 million to self-driving startup Nuro, according to a Reuters report citing sources familiar with the matter, signaling a massive financial bet as the ride-hailing giant solidifies its role as a launchpad for commercial robotaxis. According to sources directly aware of the matter, the investment includes an unreported follow-on capital injection that significantly exceeds Uber's initial funding in Nuro's $203 million round . A portion of the newly disclosed funds has already been released after Nuro met its first few development targets on time , one of the sources told Reuters . The remaining capital is strictly tied to upcoming performance milestones, including driverless testing and early passenger deployment in the San Francisco Bay Area slated for later this year, with plans to ramp up the service next year , the source said. Nuro has already made regulatory headway for this phase, having secured California permits to test its vehicles without a safety driver, alongside a separate clearance to carry passengers in testing with drivers present. This capital heavily backs a blockbuster three-way alliance between Uber ( UBER ), Nuro, and electric vehicle maker Lucid Group ( LCID ). The partnership aims to deploy a fleet of 35,000 robotaxis leveraging Lucid’s Gravity SUVs, its upcoming midsize vehicle platform, Nuro’s autonomous software stack, and Uber’s dispatch network. For Nuro—which also counts Nvidia and SoftBank among its high-profile backers—the funding secures a crucial financial runway following its 2024 strategic pivot from manufacturing delivery bots to licensing autonomous vehicle software. Both Uber and Nuro declined to comment to Reuters regarding the investment. More on Uber Uber Technologies, Inc.

As the largest display of Native North American art ever seen in Britain arrives in Yorkshire, its artists are asking timely questions about their history, our planet, and humanity’s place within it Hold to This Earth, the largest exhibition of contemporary Native North American art to be shown in Britain, arrives as the United States gears up to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Selected from Santa Fe’s Tia Collection, its artists represent more than 35 tribal nations, offering a counterpoint to that colonialist history. Their work explores a continent whose beliefs and traditions date back not centuries but millennia, and whose more recent past is marked by its original people’s exploitation, their experiences too often buried or ignored. Perhaps above all, though, “the work is incredibly timely”, as the show’s curator, Sarah Coulson, points out. “These artists are dealing with pertinent issues now.” Many artists tackle present-day concerns head-on. Yatika Starr Fields’s sculptures, for instance, use tents salvaged from an encampment of thousands of demonstrators fighting the Dakota access pipeline that threatened the water supply of the Standing Rock Sioux. Politics mixes with pop culture and global tradition in another new commission, a huge vessel by the ceramicist Diego Romero. It has a palette that recalls ancient Greek pottery, but its celebratory comic book-style characters are drawn from an old sci-fi movie about Mayans going to space. Continue reading...
It was another season to remember for Lamine Yamal and Barcelona, along with Getafe, Rayo and one naughty fan Lamine Yamal wore the crown and flew the flag.

It was another season to remember for Lamine Yamal and Barcelona, along with Getafe, Rayo and one naughty fan Lamine Yamal wore the crown and flew the flag. With the last kick of the opening game of 2025-26, Barcelona’s new No 10 – the teenager handed the shirt Ladislao Kubala, Luis Suárez, Diego Maradona, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi once wore, the kid Spain coach, Luis de la Fuente, had claimed was “touched by God’s wand” and had been anointed by Him too – scored against Mallorca . It was his first goal as an adult and he celebrated by conducting his own coronation . La Liga’s title race had begun . The day after it had been run, nine months on , as Barcelona’s bus made its way through the streets, from the top deck of the victory parade Lamine Yamal held a Palestine flag . “This is something I don’t normally like but I spoke to him and if he wants to it’s his decision,” Hansi Flick said. “He’s old enough: he’s 18.” Coming of age in the public eye wasn’t easy – isn’t easy – and the season hadn’t been either. There had been injuries and, Lamine Yamal later admitted, an “internal abyss” , but he had his third league title. Flick, the father figure whose own dad died on the morning they won the league and chose to share that with his other “family”, had his second . Have you ever felt so much love, the coach was asked. “No, never,” he said. Continue reading...
Drawing on his own family’s experience, the Real Madrid and Germany defender is advocating for refugees and challenging stereotypes As a child, Antonio Rüdiger would look out of his bedroom window to see whether anyone was playing on the field it overlooked.

Drawing on his own family’s experience, the Real Madrid and Germany defender is advocating for refugees and challenging stereotypes As a child, Antonio Rüdiger would look out of his bedroom window to see whether anyone was playing on the field it overlooked. It was not a big pitch, but it had two goals, enough room for six-a-side and was where a young Rüdiger honed the skills that would take him to the top. He grew up in Neukölln, Berlin, in a community largely made up of refugees, where his parents settled after fleeing civil war in Sierra Leone. It was, by his own account, a tough area, and football kept him out of trouble. Continue reading...

While small pool of talent and elite clubs in women’s game makes switches between rivals inevitable, this move is contentious. But some reaction has gone too far The red neon lights flicker in the dark for a moment, then the room is blue, and there is Katie McCabe, a grin on her face and a Chelsea shirt on, her controversial switch across London complete after 11 years with Arsenal. The reaction has varied dramatically. At times it has been hilarious, with witty comments and memes abundant. There has been valid rage too, an intense rivalry having developed between the two sides as Chelsea swept up domestic honour after domestic honour and sought to eclipse Arsenal’s reputation as the most successful club in women’s football in England (in the modern era at least).

The Oprah-approved book is said to have left out important financial details, so why does the writer remain a pin-up for wronged women? A strong contender for the most satisfying TV clip of the year comes from a recent interview by Oprah Winfrey with the writer Belle Burden, whose memoir, Strangers, was parked at the top of the US bestseller lists for months. Burden tells the story of how her husband coldly walked out on his family, only returning, she tells Winfrey, to inform the kids the marriage was over and demand of the wife on whom he had cheated, “I’m starving – can you make me a sandwich?” There are many small cruelties in the book, but this, among the worst, triggers outright pantomime incredulity from Winfrey, who murmurs, “Even the cameraman said ‘oh’.” Burden wanted to model kindness in front of her daughters; she wanted to show her husband exactly what he had walked out on. “So,” says Winfrey, arriving at what appears to be the outer limits of her famous ability to empathise, “you made him the sandwich?!!” Burden smiles, weakly. “I made the sandwich.” Emma Brockes is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
