Updates from the second day’s play in the latest round Sign up for The Spin | Mail Tanya or comment BTL Somerset’s James Rew was a shot of ginger on a rainy Championship day. He purred the last ball of the evening to the rope with a perfect high elbow, to finish unbeaten on 77. With innings of 64, 122 and 48 already this season, Rew’s average is 100 – numbers to lighten an England selector’s step. Thirteen wickets fell around him, with Jake Lehmann (76), who has stepped into James Vince’s boots, again top-scoring for Hampshire . There were three wickets each for Lewis Gregory and Craig Overton. Essex had time before the deluge to reduce Warwickshire to 113 for seven – the pinpoint Jamie Porter leading the way with four for 36. Sam Hain, with 44, was the rock around which the other Warwickshire players failed to stick. There was a first Essex wicket for Zaman Akhter, a Saca (South Asian Cricket Academy) graduate who moved to Chelmsford from Bristol in the great winter raid on Gloucestershire’s bowling stocks.

SweetBunFactory/iStock via Getty Images T1 Energy Inc. ( TE ) has been up and down over the past 6 months. I previously rated the stock a speculative buy , and noted that I would be looking for dips in the stock price to enter a position. I did enter a position on a pullback. Unfortunately that pullback turned into more of a downtrend in the stock price. The stock has been at a low of $2.70 a share and a high of $9.78 during the past 6 months. This volatility comes about due to the strong potential of the company, but also the high risk with it. The company has a lot to execute before it can become the profitable company that bulls are hoping to see. There is a lot to like about the potential for the stock. Energy demand is surging in the US . It will only continue to grow as well. Data centers and the continued growth of AI will make sure this happens. The company is positioned to meet that growing demand with solar. The company is also one of a few companies that are manufacturing solar at scale in the US . I am a big fan of USA manufacturing companies. I think there is a strong trend for reshoring manufacturing operations. That being said, there are also a large number of concerns and risks. Earnings misses, tax credit eligibility concerns, reliance on related party transactions, financing, and execution on their manufacturing expansion. I can understand why there is volatility in the stock. I believe the risks are baked into the current stock price. I think at this price point the future potential outweighs the risks. I rate the stock a speculative buy . Financial and Production Review The company reported strong growth in Q4 as its G1_Dallas facility ramped to full production. The company produced 1.13 GW during Q4, an increase of 64% from Q3. This brought in revenue of $358.6 million for the quarter, nearly the total of Q1-Q3 combined. For the year as a whole, the company produced 2.79 GW at G1_Dallas. The growth quarter over quarter is really impressive for t...

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) reached a major milestone last year. The artificial intelligence (AI) chip giant's market value roared past $4 trillion: When it did this, it became the first ever to reach that level, and therefore, it also became the world's biggest company. Nvidia slipped ahead of both Microsoft and Apple , tech giants that have each been No. 1 in terms of market value in recent years. In spite of a lackluster start to the year, Nvidia has managed to keep this lead. This is because its big tech rivals and peers also struggled in the tough market environment. Investors fled growth stocks, particularly AI players, amid general worries -- such as concerns about conflict in Iran -- and as they questioned whether the AI story would indeed be as profitable as expected. As the second quarter begins, however, the path is looking smoother for tech players. They've rebounded amid optimism that leaders will resume negotiations regarding the war in Iran. And investors are focusing on upcoming earnings reports, which may offer certain tech players a lift. Continue reading

IN FLIGHT - APRIL 17: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to members of the press aboard Air Force One on April 17, 2026 just prior to landing at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) Win Mcnamee | Getty Images News | Getty Images President Donald Trump sounded optimistic late Friday about the progress of peace talks with Iran and said negotiations are continuing as a fragile ceasefire held, but Iranian media said the key Strait of Hormuz was closed to shipping traffic again after the U.S. failed to meet its obligations. "We had some pretty good news 20 minutes ago, but it seems to be going very well in the Middle East with Iran," Trump told reporters traveling to Washington on Air Force One, according to MS Now. "We'll know over a little period of time. We're negotiating over the weekend." A major sticking point in the negotiations has been the issue of recovering material from Iran's nuclear program. Trump said the U.S. will "go in with Iran and we will take it together, and we will bring it back, 100% of it back to the United States". "We'll take it after the agreement is signed," he said. Peace talks in the Pakistani capital Islamabad between a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance and Iranian negotiators headed by parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf failed to reach an agreement last weekend. Trump added that he likely would not extend the two-week ceasefire that's due to end on Wednesday and said that a blockade of Iranian ports would remain in place. U.S. and Israeli forces began an aerial campaign against Iranian targets on Feb. 28. "Maybe I won't extend it, but the blockade is going to remain. But maybe I won't extend it, so you have a blockade, and unfortunately, we'll have to start dropping bombs again," Trump said. Confusion over Hormuz Earlier on Friday, Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz is open to commercial ships during a separate ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, but confusion quickly emerged about w...

Springer is the curator of the V&A East’s inaugural exhibition, The Music is Black, a landmark survey of Black British music, which opens this weekend.

The revival of the hit 2000s sitcom has none of the political subversiveness of the original. But should we be surprised? One day in the near future, millennials like myself will be shuffling off into care homes. Once inside, what will we do to pass the time? Narrative podcasts from the 2010s will probably be piped into our bedrooms as the evenings approach, with early albums by Arctic Monkeys and the Strokes available on request. Paperback thrillers about the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami and the disappearance of flight MH370 will line the bookshelves. In the TV room, the fight for the remote will be over whether to rewatch The Simpsons, The Office or Girls; but a small minority of us, particularly those born in the early 1990s, will lobby for Malcolm in the Middle . In fact, reading the news in 2024 that the acclaimed US sitcom from the 2000s was being revived for a four-part miniseries on Disney+ was the first time I felt directly targeted by the nostalgia industry. (This must be what it feels like to pay hundreds of pounds to see Paul Simon in 2026 , I thought.) At once I was transported back to the suburban Sunday evenings of my childhood – the melancholic advance of school the next day momentarily abated by Sky One (channel 106), where I’d find a new episode about this combustive, melodramatic family.

In life, the singer’s image was shaken by abuse allegations. In death, he is a billion-dollar business In December 1993, Michael Jackson ’s genitals were photographed by the Santa Barbara county sheriff’s department and the Los Angeles police department (LAPD). The pop music titan had been accused of sexually abusing Jordan Chandler, a 13-year-old boy who had accompanied Jackson on his Dangerous world tour and regularly shared a bed with the singer. Chandler had made a drawing of distinctive markings and blotches on Jackson’s crotch which matched the photos, law enforcement said. “Not just the genitalia,” said deputy district attorney, Lauren Weis, in comments echoed by LAPD colleagues. “But a particular mark on the underside of his penis which the victim described.” The incident is a well-known part of Jackson lore; in a live satellite feed broadcast shortly after, the singer branded the strip-search “the most humiliating ordeal of my life”. The following month, Jackson paid a reported $25m to settle the case out of court. Jackson and his estate have always maintained his innocence in Chandler’s claims and nearly a dozen other allegations of child molestation. “All these lies and all these people coming forward to get paid … ,” he told Diane Sawyer in a 1995 interview. “Just lies. Lies, lies, lies.” Continue reading...

It seems that even the Traitors host can’t save the ailing chatshow format. As her series ends, it’s hard not to feel that she never quite got out of Graham Norton’s shadow Six weeks ago, before Claudia Winkleman launched her BBC One Friday night chatshow, media profiles regularly referenced her “Midas touch” with TV formats. She had left one golden programme, sashaying away from Strictly Come Dancing, but her portfolio still included three other winners: the mega hit The Traitors, its celebrity spin-off for the BBC , and Channel 4’s The Piano. Half a dozen sofa chats later, Winkleman hasn’t exactly suffered the fate of the mythic King Midas, but The Claudia Winkleman Show can fairly be seen as her least glittering work for several years.
