China’s latest air-to-air missile, the PL-16, could have a range of more than 300km (186 miles) thanks to a variable-thrust rocket motor, according to an unverified image being circulated online. It comes weeks after the first image emerged of the US Air Force’s new AIM-260 air-to-air missile – a joint advanced tactical missile with a range of at least 193km (120 miles). It is not clear when the AIM-260 will enter service, but US officials have cited China’s PL-15 missile as a key driver for the...

According to chief economic adviser Kevin Hassett, living in the world’s richest superpower and witnessing food, electricity and housing become luxury items is a good thing God, I love paying high prices at the supermarket, don’t you? I walk outside with a bag of basics that cost approximately 500% more than they did a few years ago and it makes me feel so optimistic about life. What a wonderful thing to live in the US – the world’s richest superpower – and witness food, electricity and housing become luxury items. Donald Trump’s chief economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, knows what I mean. On Sunday Hassett went on Fox News to inform the US public that high prices are good, actually. Trust him – he’s an economist. Yes, it’s true that last month the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index dropped to its lowest point since the survey began in 1952 and Americans are feeling grim about the economy. But as Hassett explained, “The Michigan survey no longer has anything to do with the economy … it’s just a place where Democrats get to register how angry they are at President Trump.” Continue reading...

The bleak Arthur Miller-written 1961 American pastoral is rereleased to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Monroe, who plays a naive divorcee who meets three new suitors in her most serious and poignant role The 100th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth, and a two-month retrospective at BFI Southbank, is the occasion for the rerelease of her most serious and poignant film, John Huston’s western drama and American pastoral from 1961. The film’s end of an era desolation feels more sombre than ever; the last film for both Clark Gable and Monroe and a melancholy late role for Montgomery Clift. The Misfits was written for the screen by Monroe’s then husband, Arthur Miller, adapted from his own short story from a few years before. Miller’s opaque motivations are a subtext running under this movie; with a strangely uxorious dedication or vengefulness, Miller conceived the whole thing for Marilyn. It is the story of a passionate, vulnerable, childlike free spirit who finds a complex kind of excitement and freedom – flavoured with disillusion – with a real man after divorcing an emotionally blank city dweller. (Monroe and Miller divorced immediately after production.) The key irony of the title is that of course no one on screen is a misfit: they fit in all too well with the stark landscape and each other in their loneliness, their discontent and their yearning for something else or something more to live for.

In the Guardian’s Against the tide series , the documentary photographer got to know some ‘amazing’ 16- to 25-year-olds living on the fringes of England and Wales, and now her work is the centre of a new touring exhibition It was while reading a landmark report about the poor health of people who live on the English coast that documentary photographer Polly Braden had her big idea. “I was just blown away by it,” she says. “I thought: this is about England. And it affects all of us.” At the same time, as a single mother of teenagers, she had become interested in the lives of young people who had grown up under austerity, lived through a pandemic and were becoming adults during a cost-of-living crisis.

In survey of more than 300 fired probationary employees, 95% reported continuing mental health effects US federal workers laid off by the Trump administration said they are experiencing mental health effects, including PTSD-like symptoms, from losing their jobs, according to a new survey . More than 300 fired probationary employees were surveyed, with 95% reporting ongoing mental health effects, according to 27UNIHTED, a network of former National Institute of Health (NIH) employees. Nearly half said they are experiencing PTSD-like symptoms, and a quarter are taking new medications to manage symptoms. Continue reading...

In a new exhibition, work from artists including Pablo Picasso and Wifredo Lam offer different ways to see what a portrait can represent What exactly is a portrait? At its simplest, it might be an attempt to depict oneself or someone else via a painting. But then consider German expressionist Max Beckmann’s masterpiece The Beginning, a triptych of scenes from his childhood, or Cuban artist Wifredo Lam’s Ídolo, a melange of forms based around the goddess Oyá. Rooted more in memory and myth than a mere physical likeness, these pieces stretch just what we might decide counts as a portrait. Works such as the Beckmann and the Lam – as well as cubist abstractions, an ornate hand mirror, and one of Joan Miró’s pieces of “painting-poetry”, — are all portraits as defined by The Met’s new show The Face of Modern Life, which gathers close to 80 works from the museum’s permanent collection. A boisterous and effusive selection of work from one of the nation’s most storied museums, this show gives audiences a peek into the museum’s estimable archives and a chance to wonder just what defines this seemingly simple but truly elusive form.

When individuals are troubled by their greying hair, some may find plucking it to be the easiest solution. However, many Chinese people hesitate to do so for a specific reason. A prevalent folk belief suggests that plucking one white hair will lead to three more white strands growing in its place. Some even go as far as claiming that 10 white hairs will sprout after plucking just one. Medical experts have clarified that this notion is purely a superstition. Yang Dingquan, a trichologist at the...

A former NASA engineer named John Muratore sat on console as launch director in early September 2016 as propellant flowed onto a Falcon 9 rocket in Florida. Ahead of a planned launch two days later, SpaceX was preparing for a static fire test of the vehicle. Then, all of a sudden, the rocket exploded. "It came out of nowhere, and it was really violent," Muratore said. This fireball resulted in the destruction of the rocket, much of its launch site, and the AMOS-6 satellite already attached to the vehicle. Nearly a decade later, on May 28, Blue Origin conducted a static fire test of a new rocket, with its larger New Glenn vehicle a few miles down the Florida coast. The company had gotten further into its test, reaching engine ignition, before its rocket also exploded . Read full article Comments

Suno Inc., a startup that enables people to make music using artificial intelligence, has raised $400 million at a valuation of $5.4 billion. Bond Capital, which has invested in OpenAI and Kalshi , is leading the round alongside venture capital firms such as IVP, Forerunner and Union Square Ventures , the company said. Existing investors, including Lightspeed and Menlo Ventures , are also putting in money. Suno has doubled its valuation from when it raised $250 million just seven months ago, a sign of investor optimism about its potential to upend the music business. The funding makes Suno the most valuable of a new wave of AI music companies. Suno allows users to create music from scratch with text prompts. You can request certain genres, sounds, instruments and lyrics and get a digital recording almost instantly. Suno plans to use the money to increase its pace of hiring, develop new products and accelerate its growth after a strong start to the year, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Mikey Shulman said in an interview. Suno has about 200 employees and plans to increase its staff as much as 70% by year end. The company surpassed 2 million subscribers in February, when it also said it is on pace for $300 million in annual sales. “Having more capital allows us to operate the business differently and take some bigger swings,” Shulman said. The amount of time people are spending with the app has increased while the rate of cancellation has declined. “A higher share of users are falling in love with the product and coming back.” The growing output of music generated using AI models has divided the music business. Many songwriters and musicians have objected to AI companies using their work to train models without compensation and all three major music companies – Universal Music Group , Sony Music and Warner Music Group – sued Suno in 2024 for copyright infringement. The threat of AI has suppressed the stock price of both major music companies and streaming servic...

Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Palantir Technologies ( PLTR ) shares are drawing renewed scrutiny after investor Michael Burry warned that the stock is at a "crossroads" following what he described as a head-and-shoulders-type topping pattern, a technical formation often associated with fading bullish momentum. Burry, who disclosed a short position in Palantir late last year, said on Tuesday that his bearish view on the stock remains unchanged. He said the chart reflects the "waxing and waning of extremely bullish psychology" surrounding the AI software company. "Palantir trades at ~16X its IV15 according to my assumptions. It is a sand castle, supported for now by the AI applications narrative, a short in my book," Burry said in a new blog post on his Substack page. Burry's comments come as Palantir shares trade around $152, down 14.4% year to date. Despite the YTD decline, the stock remains up more than 14% over the past year. The shares recently rebounded from the $130-$140 range and are now testing a key resistance area near $150-$160. PLTR shares were down -2.6% premarket at $148.19.

高盛称，AI仍然是“颠覆性技术”，中国在全球AI领域占据着举足轻重的地位，但国际投资者对中国人工智能股票的持有度严重偏低 【财新网】 美以伊战争让美国股市和东北亚地区部分经济体股市短暂地回调，但从4月初美伊达成协议之后，这几个受益于AI的股市就大幅上涨。与3月31日收盘价相比，纳斯达克指数上涨25%，日经225指数上涨34%，台湾加权指数上涨46%，韩国综合指数上涨了74%，其中韩国股市今年以来累计上涨108.85%。 虽然中国在AI方面也很有竞争力，但中国股市从这波AI浪潮中似乎获益较少。上证指数在3月23日盘中触及低点3794.68点后也大幅反弹，但是在5月中旬之后出现回调。与5月14日盘中高点4258.86点相比，6月3日上证指数累计下跌了4%，年初至今，上证指数累计上涨了2.9%。

格隆汇6月3日｜英特尔股票在盘前涨7.8%，此前该股已连续五个交易日下跌。

高增长后的持续性，才是最大的考题。 近日，吉利汽车（00175.HK）发布5月销量数据。数据显示，吉利、领克、极氪三大品牌5月累计销量为23.76万辆，同比增长1%。其中极氪涨幅最大，同比大增82%，而吉利品牌和领克品牌表现不佳，分别下滑3%和25%。吉利银河作为吉利品牌独立出来的新能源品牌，销量同比下滑20%。 值得注意的是，这已是吉利银河自今年1月以来连续第五个月出现销量同比下滑，且5月20%的降幅创下今年以来最大单月跌幅。 放在更长时间轴上看，反差尤为明显。从2023年5月底首款车型上市，到2025年6月初宣布累计销量突破百万辆，吉利银河仅用了25个月，刷新了中国新能源品牌达成百万销量的速度纪录。2025年全年，银河销量达到123.5万辆，同比增速达150%。 然而进入2026年，这位新能源行业的优等生遭遇了快速成长后的阵痛。今年1至5月，吉利银河销量同比分别下滑11%、4%、8%、6%、20%，累计销量从去年同期的45.8万辆降至41.2万辆，同比下跌10%，成为吉利汽车集团今年以来跌幅最大的子品牌。 从产品结构看，吉利银河对单一车型“星愿”的依赖度较高。今年4月，吉利银河国内零售销量为6.29万辆，其中星愿销量接近3.5万辆，占比超过55%。星愿在过去很长一段时间内都占据着国内小型电动车销量第一的位置，去年单月最高销量超过4.8万辆。但随着老款车型逐步进入生命周期末期，星愿销量已不及去年，今年1月和3月两次错失销冠位置。 今年5月底，星愿迎来改款，入门款官方指导价较老款下调4000元，三电系统、辅助驾驶等配置也同步升级。但这款车型能否重回去年巅峰，仍需时间验证。 银河M9是另一个值得关注的信号。这款代表银河产品向上突破的车型，在去年9月上市后销量持续爬坡，第四季度单月销量均破万。但进入2026年，同级别新车型集中上市，竞争迅速白热化，银河M9的先发优势被逐步稀释。到今年4月，其国内零售销量已跌至3103辆。 总体而言，吉利银河多款主销产品正处于“新老交替”的关键换挡期，对销量产生了负面影响。与此同时，市场竞争持续加剧。新能源汽车渗透率已从2023年初的36%左右攀升至2026年4月的61.4%，叠加新能源补贴政策进一步退坡，市场已从增量竞争转向存量博弈。 在20万元以下的主流价格带，即吉利银河的主战场竞争压力与日俱增。今年5月，零跑汽车销量达81569辆，...

日本厚生劳动省3日公布的人口动态统计数据显示，2025年日本国内的本国新生儿数量为67.1236万人，总和生育率（平均每名育龄妇女生育子女数）1.14，两项数据均创有统计以来的最低纪录。数据显示，日本新生儿数量已连续10年下降。2025年日本国内出生的本国新生儿较2024年减少1.4937万人，同比下降2.2%。2025年日本总和生育率较上年下降0.01至1.14。从地区来看，最低的是东京都，为0.96，也是日本唯一低于1的地区。2025年日本死亡人数为158.9489万人，减去出生人口后，人口自然减少91.8253万人，是2018年的约2倍。日本人口自然减少已连续两年超过90万人。日本国立社会保障与人口问题研究所此前预测，日本出生人数降至67万人左右可能发生在2040年，但这一情况已提前15年到来。据《日本经济新闻》分析，当前日本实际工资持续低迷，城市地区房价和房租上涨，对家庭收支形成压力，可能是日本出生率下降的主要原因。（新华社）

格隆汇6月3日｜欧洲央行预计将于下周上调其关键利率，为2011年以来首次。此举旨在在欧元区经济面临陷入衰退的风险之际，向市场传递有关通胀的明确信号。不过，2011年的情况却与政策制定者的预期大相径庭，因此经济学家们担心这种情况可能会再次发生。2011年，面对油价上涨，欧洲央行两次上调了关键利率。然而，政策制定者却误判了处于债务危机中的欧元区经济的状况。利率的上调很快就被取消了，欧洲央行因未能正确理解欧元区所面临经济挑战的严重性而丧失了公信力。洛马尔德奥迪尔银行首席经济学家萨米·查尔表示：“他们花了10年时间才重新赢得信誉，而现在他们又要重蹈覆辙了。”贝伦贝格银行首席经济学家霍尔格·施米德林表示：“欧洲央行计划于6月进行的加息或许能在一定程度上承受住本轮的冲击，从而造成较小程度的损害，但若继续加息，可能会推迟伊朗事件后的经济复苏，甚至可能使欧元区陷入不必要的短暂衰退。”
