Ferrari last won race at Mexican GP in 2024 Scuderia’s car should suit narrow streets of Monte Carlo Lewis Hamilton was circumspect about Ferrari’s chances in the buildup to the Monaco Grand Prix but, on paper at least, this weekend is perhaps his best shot at a first victory for the Scuderia to end their win drought that stretches back to the Mexican GP of 2024. Mercedes have dominated the season thus far, with Kimi Antonelli leading the championship by 43 points from his teammate George Russell, but the strengths of their car will be somewhat negated on the slow corners of the twisting street circuit in Monte Carlo, which should suit Ferrari’s SF26.

Electric toothbrushes promise healthier teeth and gums and can transform your oral hygiene. We put 29 models to the test • How to make your toothbrush last longer If you grew up using a conventional toothbrush – essentially a stick with bristles on the end – you may be surprised to learn just how long the electric toothbrush has been around. The first was designed in the late 1930s, but that model was a long way from the sleek, feature-packed and Bluetooth-enabled beasts you can buy today. There are now dozens of ultra-advanced versions on the market, but which ones are worth your cash? To help answer that question, my teeth have become figurative guinea pigs. Over the past 18 months, I’ve put 29 electric toothbrushes from the likes of Oral-B, Philips, Suri, Ordo, Silk’n and Foreo through their paces to separate the best from the rest. Here are my conclusions. Best electric toothbrush overall: Laifen Wave Pro Best budget electric toothbrush: Odonta PowerPlus Continue reading...

Any US military attack on Cuba would most likely take place this summer, according to a Chinese defence technology company closely tracking US military movements around the island. The assessment by Jingan Technology, a civilian start-up founded in 2021 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, said that if the US were to use force against Cuba, it would most likely take the form of a rapid “decapitation and paralysis” operation aimed at regime change, rather than a large-scale invasion. The company uses...

The decision not to test all men and only screen the most at risk, including black men, is fact-based.

The decision not to test all men and only screen the most at risk, including black men, is fact-based. Yet it’s been called ‘two-tier’ – and labelled as misandry If the country seems to be slipping away from reason and trust in science, blame usually falls on modern phenomena such as social media and its fantastical influencers. Or on the US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr’s bizarre anti-vaccine, anti-fluoride, anti-evidence lunacy. But campaigns against the UK national screening committee’s decision to limit prostate cancer testing have been run by British bastions of the sort laying claim to “common sense”. They include two Tory ex-prime ministers, David Cameron and Rishi Sunak (who see themselves as sensibles, unlike Boris Johnson and Liz Truss), joined by their Tory/ Reform media, especially the Mail and the Telegraph, plus a host of distinguished campaigners such as Stephen Fry, fount of QI knowledge. The national screening committee (NSC) has for a long time resisted a call for universal testing of all men for prostate cancer, though it kills 12,000 men a year in the UK. I was on the committee in the 1990s, and it was besieged by demands for screening for prostate cancer and numerous other conditions. These were often refused for unreasonable cost, but this decision is about harm to men, not about money. Polly Toynbee is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

To get Industrial Strength delivered directly to your inbox, sign up here . There are plenty of reasons why the oft-speculated US manufacturing renaissance remains at best a work-in-progress. But it might all boil down to a core truth: “If you want people to work in manufacturing, if you want investors to back manufacturing, if you want the government to invest in it, it needs to be cool,” said Jan Sramek, founder and chief executive officer of California Forever. Personally, I find few subjects more exciting than the US industrial base and that’s why I moderated a panel on revitalizing American manufacturing at the Reagan National Economic Forum last week, featuring Sramek and other company leaders. But for much of the past few decades in the US, manufacturing has largely been regarded as a boring economic exercise in which profit margins were the ultimate prize. Read More: GM Pivot Shows Why Reshoring Is So Hard Before the pandemic laid bare the challenges of far-flung supply chains, investors weren’t particularly concerned with where a company made its goods as long as it could do so cheaply. The factories that remained here saw dwindling investments and are now largely behind the times, with the US significantly lagging robot installations in China. Even with robust profits, the high valuations went to technology giants instead. It got to the point where some analysts openly pondered if industrial stocks were still relevant. Manufacturers themselves internalized this sentiment, contorting themselves into software companies with limited success. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of factory jobs went unfilled as Americans shunned them in favor of four-year degrees and desk jobs. “It’s all cultural because we went turbo-elite,” Chris Power, CEO and founder of defense manufacturing startup Hadrian, said during the panel. “We offshored all heavy industry and we told everyone that unless you sit at a desk, you’re kind of not an American anymore.” There are some signs o...

Thousands have protested in the capital, Tirana, this week against a planned luxury resort backed by Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Groundwork has begun on the $1.6bn complex in an area long seen as one of the Mediterranean’s most environmentally sensitive, containing 200 species of birds including flamingos and Dalmatian pelicans. After builders began erecting a concrete-based, barbed wire-topped fence around the site, alarm turned to public outrage at the environmental damage and lack of political transparency around the deal.
