Move comes as 137 Labour MPs sign letter demanding ‘urgent, concrete action’ to stop settler violence The UK Foreign Office and a group of western countries are due to announce a package of sanctions against Israel this week designed to deter companies from becoming involved in a new proposed West Bank settlement that would split the territory in two and render the concept of a two-state solution near impossible. The package follows a warning by nine countries including France, the UK and Australia that settlement violence must stop and no company should be involved in what is known as the E1 development. Tenders were opened this month for the development of more than 3,000 homes between Jerusalem and the Ma’ale Adumim. The development would split the West Bank between north and south, and so effectively make a contiguous Palestinian West Bank impossible. Continue reading...

The console industry is in a weird place , and both Xbox and PlayStation have a chance to change the narrative a bit with their showcases at Summer Game Fest. Sony did that by focusing on the single-player titles it’s known for , and now it’s Microsoft’s turn. The Xbox Games Showcase airs on June 7th at 1PM ET (you can watch it on both YouTube and Twitch ), and will be followed by a second presentation focused entirely on Gears of War: E-Day . The event comes at an interesting time for Xbox. Microsoft’s gaming division went through an executive shake-up in April , and new boss Asha Sharma has been making some smaller but welcome changes, while also promising what she calls the “ return of Xbox .” Given how confused the Xbox brand has been of late , it seems likely bigger changes are on the way. The SGF keynote will be focused entirely on games — Microsoft has already said it won’t be talking about its next console — which will likely include major titles like the Halo remake and the recently delayed Fable . But to really make an impression and show the Xbox name is on the right track, there will have to be some surprises. Maybe we’ll finally get a look at The Elder Scrolls VI ? Whatever Microsoft does have in store, you can watch the entire thing at the embed below, and stay tuned to this stream for all of the most important announcements. The Xbox Games Showcase is starting soon. Xbox and PlayStation have a lot to prove There won’t be Project Helix news at the Xbox Games Showcase.

Premiership Women’s Rugby: Exeter 50-24 Sale Chiefs will play Saracens in playoff semi-final Claudia Moloney-MacDonald is hitting her best form at just the right time for Exeter as her performance was pivotal in the hosts’ victory against Sale. The England back, who was a part of the Red Roses’ grand slam-winning Six Nations campaign , scored four tries to confirm the club’s semi-final against Saracens on 14 June. Moloney-MacDonald, who scored two tries against Bristol last week, was impressive in open play and among her scoring frenzy was a sensational effort in which she hunted down a kick through to dot down before the ball rolled out of play.

AlexSecret Wall Street's excitement over upcoming IPOs such as SpaceX ( SPCX ), Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) and OpenAI ( OPENAI ) has investors eager to gain exposure to the next phase of the artificial intelligence boom. But history suggests caution may be warranted, Investor’s Business Daily reported Saturday. Research cited in The Lifecycle Trade found that more than 90% of IPOs eventually trade below their first-day low, highlighting the risks of buying immediately after a stock begins trading. One strategy used by growth investors is to wait for an "IPO base" to form. This is a period, typically lasting one to five weeks after a company's debut, when shares settle into a relatively narrow trading range following their initial volatility. The pattern can help identify whether institutional investors are building positions and establishing support for the stock. An IPO base usually begins after shares reach an early post-listing peak and then pull back. If the stock later rises above that initial high on strong trading volume, some investors view it as a potential buy signal. Heavy volume can indicate that large institutional investors are driving demand. Google's ( GOOG )( GOOGL ) 2004 market debut is often cited as a successful example. After reaching an early high, the stock formed a short base, then broke out on strong volume and climbed sharply in the following weeks. More recently, AI infrastructure company CoreWeave ( CRWV ) posted substantial gains after emerging from a five-week IPO base in 2025. The approach is not foolproof. Spotify ( SPOT ) formed a similar pattern after its 2018 debut, but institutional buying failed to materialize and the breakout stalled. The stock later fell sharply before recovering years afterward. Investors looking at newly public companies often watch for several signs of strength during the base-building process: shares holding above the IPO price, weekly closes near the upper end of the trading range and declining trading volume du...

Brazil’s decision to freeze part of the budget of its civil aviation regulator is threatening to delay the arrival of new aircraft and planned capacity expansions just as airlines race to meet robust travel demand and address fleet shortages. The National Civil Aviation Agency, known as Anac, is delaying aircraft certification activities after the federal government blocked 24 million reais ($4.6 million) of its budget. Officials at Anac are working with the government to restore funding and resume certification processes, Agency President Tiago Faierstein said in an interview at the International Air Transport Association annual gathering in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. Without certification, newly delivered aircraft cannot enter commercial service in Brazil, potentially disrupting expansion plans across the industry. The suspension could also affect maintenance operations, as modifications and replacement parts often require approval from the regulator before aircraft can return to service. The move risks creating a bottleneck for carriers including Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes SA , Azul SA and Latam Airlines Group, which depend on regulatory approvals to add aircraft, modify fleets and introduce new equipment. It also raises concerns for manufacturers such as Embraer SA, whose aircraft and future products rely on certification processes to reach customers. Gol recently announced new routes to Paris and Lisbon, with aircraft for those services awaiting regulatory approval to begin operations. Latam expects to start receiving Embraer E2 jets later this year, a rollout that could also be affected by prolonged delays. Pilot certification activities are being affected as well, according to Faierstein. Latam said it is monitoring the situation and that its operations have not been affected so far. Gol did not respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours. The Brazilian government had announced a 22.1 billion reais budget freeze due to the rise in the p...

Mainstream politicians should remember that in the battle to defeat Jordan Bardella or Marine Le Pen, unity is strength Less than a year before the most important French presidential election in the history of the Fifth Republic, the phoney war is almost over. On 7 July, a court will decide whether to uphold Marine Le Pen’s appeal against a fraud conviction and a five-year ban from public office. Should she lose, her party’s 30‑year‑old president, Jordan Bardella, will be confirmed as Rassemblement National’s candidate and the frontrunner in the race. Voters will need to wait considerably longer, however, for clarity over who will oppose the far right. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the veteran leader of the radical-left party La France Insoumise (LFI), has already announced a fourth tilt at the presidency. But as Emmanuel Macron approaches the end of a second term blighted by unforced errors, multiple egos are jostling on the centre-left and the centre-right, amid a frantic weighing of the odds.

According to local news, as many as 9,000 helicopter flights can take place across New York City on a fair-weather day. You can see them whizzing over the Hudson, orbiting Liberty Island like big flies, sweeping from the Upper West Side to the Financial District, to the Brooklyn waterfront, around the South Street Seaport. Their whop-whop thrum is inescapable; it penetrates walls and fills the area around you. If you've stayed with me through this rather lengthy introduction, you might guess where this is going. When we talk about Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) , or rather the potential of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, adoption of these flying taxis is usually a major question on the table. Even if a company like Joby gets regulatory approval to fly air taxis, will consumers bite? Will cities or communities adopt them? Will flights get booked? While only time will tell whether the air taxi concept sticks, several factors suggest that it will. Continue reading

A drug for pancreatic cancer shows immense promise, but we shouldn’t forget research in the field is a story of small victories It is unlikely that we will ever declare a final victory over cancer. Governments have often promised it: from Nixon’s 1971 “war on cancer” to the 2016 Obama‑Biden plan to fight and cure it “once and for all” and Sajid Javid’s 2022 “war on cancer” initiative in the UK.

A drug for pancreatic cancer shows immense promise, but we shouldn’t forget research in the field is a story of small victories It is unlikely that we will ever declare a final victory over cancer. Governments have often promised it: from Nixon’s 1971 “war on cancer” to the 2016 Obama‑Biden plan to fight and cure it “once and for all” and Sajid Javid’s 2022 “war on cancer” initiative in the UK. But framing it this way can obscure how real progress is made: not in stunning routs, but in stalling and turning back the advance of this terrible condition – often in simply giving people more time to live. Several such breakthroughs, and a bigger one that could transform the treatment of multiple kinds of cancer over the next decade, emerged at last week’s American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago. As the Guardian revealed, there is a new jab effective against head and neck cancers in some patients, and a new immunotherapy that could spare bladder cancer patients invasive and life-changing surgery. Most significantly, there is a new drug called daraxonrasib , which doubled survival time for pancreatic cancer patients in a recent clinical trial. Continue reading...

'I Could've Kept It That Way': Trump Admits The Inflation Is His Choice - For A War That 'Isn't A War' In a wide-ranging interview in which he touted record stock prices and rebranded weapons-grade uranium as "nuclear dust" (and then stormed out ), President Donald Trump said the quiet part out loud: the prices Americans are paying at the pump are not an accident. This was all his decision. " I could've kept it that way ," Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker in an interview taped in a rain-battered Wisconsin barn before he was set to appear at a farming industry roundtable discussion - describing the cheap gasoline everyone enjoyed during his first few months back in office. " But I said, I have to take a little bit of a turn ... We're going to have higher gasoline. We're going to have a little higher fertilizer, et cetera, et cetera. But I'm going to get rid of a nuclear weapon in the hands of very dangerous people. " "The farmers love me" Asked about farmers who can no longer afford fertilizer - seventy percent of them, by Welker's count - Trump didn't push back, but instead changed the subject to loyalty. "I had a choice to make. I could keep it going. The farmers were doing great. Fertilizer was very cheap. Everything was cheap. Gasoline was very low. Everything was very low. I could've kept it that way. But I said, I have to take a little bit of a turn. The farmers are going to understand it better than anybody. " Trump leaned on his heavy support in the heartland. " I love the farmers, and the farmers love me. The farmers trust me ," he said, pointing to the $28 billion in trade-war bailouts he cut growers in his first term. So - the economic cost of the US-Israeli war on Iran is something that Americans should be willing to eat for him . And again, promises of utopia: "And when we have a completion, you will see things like you've never seen. The oil will go down. " " It's all coming down as soon as the war's over ," he promised of gas and diesel. When Welker pre...
