⚽ Europa League updates; kick-off 8pm BST ( first leg: 1-1 ) ⚽ Aston Villa v Bologna – updates | Live scores | Mail Scott Six months ago this happened … … which has got to augur well for Nottingham Forest (even if it didn’t serve as much of a promising harbinger for poor old Sean Dyche). Throw in the fact that Porto have played 24 competitive matches in England and have yet to win one (D3 L21) and all signs point to YES for Vítor Pereira and his charges. The winner of this tie gets to play the victor of Aston Villa and Bologna, and the prospect of an ATVLand rammy for a place in the final is almost too much excitement for a brain to contain. So come on Forest, giddy up Villa, let’s make this happen. Kick-off is at 8pm BST, with the scores level at 1-1 after the fiasco-tinged first leg. It’s on! Continue reading...

⚽ Europa League updates; kick-off 8pm BST ( first leg: 3-1 ) ⚽ Nottingham Forest v Porto – latest | Live scores | Mail Niall Much like one of those old-timey “choose your own adventure” stories, Aston Villa have two clear paths to the Champions League. Unlike said books, there appears to be little immediate peril on either route. Villa are seven points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League, and got the job in this tie more than halfway done in the first leg in Italy. Get through tonight and Porto or Nottingham Forest (!) await in the semi-finals, while mid-table Sunderland and Fulham are up next in the league. Continue reading...

Stellantis, the global car company that owns brands from Alfa Romeo to Vauxhall (including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram), has begun a five-year partnership with Microsoft. The tech company will use its expertise to help the automaker improve its digital services, beef up its cybersecurity, and enhance its engineering capabilities. And yes, it will do that with the hype-iest of tech trends, AI. When Ars Technica started covering the auto industry, it was because technology had begun to infiltrate our vehicles. More than a decade later, the impact of that trend is impossible to ignore. Almost every new vehicle has at least one modem embedded somewhere, connected to some cloud or other. Active safety systems perceive other road users and intervene to prevent collisions. Touchscreens are ubiquitous—and a necessity for the smartphone-like services we're told make Chinese cars so much better than anything we can buy here. It's difficult to say that all this innovation has been good, at least for the end user. Connected services can be very useful—ironically, one of the harder things to test with press cars—but only if those services are provided securely. Advanced driver assistance systems aren't always that safe, as Tesla's many federal investigations and recalls remind us. Touchscreens and capacitive panels might save automakers a few bucks, but they're unquestionably worse in terms of human-machine interactions than real buttons or switches. And I don't need to tell the Ars audience about the possible privacy implications of in-car apps. Read full article Comments

peshkov Crypto-linked stocks just pulled back sharply, and it’s not as random as it looks. The move reflects a mix of profit booking, company-level signals, and a cooling Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) trend. Riot Platforms ( RIOT ) is down ~5% to $16.58 Bitdeer Technologies ( BTDR ) slipped ~3% to $12.23. Cipher Mining ( CIFR ) fell ~3.28% to $17.41, marking a broad pullback across crypto-linked equities. Riot Platform's ( RIOT ) decline isn’t just technical—it’s also fundamental pressure. As per its press release , the company sold ~3.78K BTC for ~$289.5M in Q1 at ~$76.6K per coin and another ~500 BTC in early April, reducing holdings to ~15.68K BTC (down ~18% YoY). This signals higher profit booking. Technically, price got rejected near $18.5 after a sharp rally. RSI cooled to ~39, and MACD turned bearish, which means momentum cooled while selling pressure increased. What's next: If $16 support holds, a bounce toward $20 is possible, while a break could push it to ~$14 levels. On the other hand, Bitdeer Technologies ( BTDR ) fall is more technical despite strong fundamentals. As per its press release , its March 2026 Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) production jumped ~480% YoY to ~661—but price didn’t follow. After a rally from ~$8.5 to ~$12.8, the stock showed exhaustion. The RSI eased to ~56, the MACD flipped bearish, and volumes weakened. What's next: As long as ~11 support holds, the uptrend remains intact, with a potential retest of $15, but if it breaks, ~$9.5 might be the next stop. At the same time, Cipher Mining’s ( CIFR ) drop also reflects a classic pullback. After rising from ~$13 to ~$19, the stock failed to break resistance and formed lower highs. RSI at ~45 and bearish MACD confirm short-term weakness. What's next: Holding ~$17 support could lead to a bounce towards ~$20.5, while a breakdown may drag it toward ~$15. Overall, the bigger picture ties back to Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ). According to the TradingView chart , the asset is cooling after rejection near ~$76K, now rangin...

In this article APO BLK Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 5:46 05:46 Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan: The scale of what's happening in this country is totally under appreciated News Videos Alternative investments giant Apollo Global Management has seen its stock swoon this year as a result of fears in the private credit market. At CNBC's Invest in America Forum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, its billionaire CEO Marc Rowan offered the latest defense of its book of business, and latest attempt to distance the firm from the riskiest edge of the private credit market. Apollo has faced scrutiny for its decision to limit quarterly redemptions in a private credit fund to 5% — other firms in the space have relaxed their redemption limits , though 5% is a generally accepted standard in the industry. Apollo has also been vocal in saying that many software valuations, the sector at the center of the private credit default fears as a result of the potential for rapid AI disruption, are "wrong." At the CNBC event, Rowan had even harsher words for some of Apollo's peers and investors in the private credit space as redemption requests have risen. "We have a situation where investors do not actually know what they own. Maybe they should have known," he told CNBC's Sara Eisen. "If you discovered eight weeks ago that enterprise software was vulnerable to AI, you kinda weren't doing your job," Rowan said. "This is knowable." Its private credit fund, which received redemption requests representing 11% of assets, has roughly 12% of loans in software, the single biggest sector in Apollo Debt Solutions BDC. The redemption requests which Apollo did meet equaled $750 million. "We are a trillion-dollar manager," Rowan said. With $750 billion in credit investments, and $16 billion in retail investor assets, 5% quarterly redemptions of $750 million "rounds to zero," Rowan added. BlackRock drew a similar line in the sand at the stated 5% limit , with it...
