A US federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked any payouts from Donald Trump’s controversial new $1.8bn so-called anti-weaponization settlement fund that emerged from a settlement the US president came to with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The order by US district judge Leonie Brinkema of the eastern district of Virginia blocks the Trump administration from “taking any further action” to set up or operate the fund while the judge hears additional legal arguments. The justice department announced the creation of the fund last week as part of an agreement to settle Trump’s lawsuit over the leak of his tax records. It has sparked concern ranging from disquiet, including from some Republicans, to outrage from others with accusations flying of corruption, self-dealing and the prospect of insurrectionists convicted over the 2021 Capitol attack inspired by Trump, who then pardoned the rioters, being eligible for compensation.

One of the UK’s longest-standing funds for global nature protection is being drastically cut back, the Guardian has learned. At least 89 countries will lose eligibility for funding for biodiversity projects under the Darwin Initiative, in a round of cuts that conservationists warned would put species and habitats in jeopardy, and set back global efforts to halt the precipitous decline in nature. The Guardian understands that the regions to be dropped include most of Africa, central Asia and parts of Latin America. Countries such as Argentina, Iran, Sudan, Chad, Mali and Angola would lose out. Armenia, which is hosting the next conference under the UN convention on biodiversity this October, will also be excluded. “At a time when governments have committed to CBD agreements to scale international biodiversity finance to $30 billion a year by 2030, continued cuts and restrictions risk undermining trust that those promises will actually be delivered,” said Andrew Terry, ZSL’s Director of Conservation and Policy. “For decades, the Darwin Initiative has been one of the UK’s most important programmes for supporting wildlife, improving livelihoods and tackling climate change in some of the regions that need support most. But reductions to the UK’s international aid budget and the removal of eligibility for 89 countries mean locally led organisations are losing vital backing at a time when communities and ecosystems are already under growing pressure. Projects funded by the Darwin Initiative are the frontline of efforts to protect communities from climate and ecosystem breakdown, and this is exactly the moment they should be strengthened, not scaled back.” View image in fullscreen A brown brocket in a forest in Argentina, one of the countries to lose funding.

At the launch of its new high summer collection, the retailer said fish were quickly becoming its customers’ catch of the day. The Guardian’s journalism is independent.

From sardines and sprats to crustaceans including crabs, its latest haul across fashion and homeware is rich in fish prints and shapes. Sales of starfish-shaped earrings are up 300% month on month, while high demand for a silky blue skirt smothered in shoals of fish has resulted in a waiting list. In homeware, sales of a set of glass tumblers that stack together to form the shape of a fish are up 400%, while a “gluggle jug” – a ceramic pitcher shaped like a fish that makes a gurgling sound as the water is poured – is becoming an outdoor dining essential. Sales of versions from Wade Pottery are up 129% month on month. View image in fullscreen Farm Rio’s multicolour fish sea sleeveless maxi dress. Photograph: Farm Rio The trend is an extension of the UK’s increasing tinned fish obsession. Recently, preserved seafood has pivoted from a cheap cupboard staple to a bougie star ingredient, with jazzy packaging and “tin to table” brands. This month Tesco said an 18% increase in sales of tinned tuna was due to TikTok influencers who it said had helped it to rise to “the height of culinary fashion”. While supermarkets sell tins of fish for as little as 65p, some gourmet versions start from £12. Bettina Makalintal, a senior reporter at the food website Eater, says people are embracing the trend as a way of signalling how they align themselves politically and socially. “Choosing to buy fancy tinned fish and to reflect these dietary choices in our clothing and decor says something about who we are, what we aspire to, and our social milieu, especially when we consider how much of our lives we also share ...

This year, 22 February happened twice for me. The first time, I was flying from Auckland to San Francisco, crossing the international date line somewhere over the Pacific. I’ve never fully understood what actually happens at the date line. There’s an explanation – something about a group of men in Washington deciding where one day would end and another begin, drawing a line down the middle of the ocean. Knowing that doesn’t make it feel less strange. You fall asleep, and when you wake up it’s still yesterday. Groundhog Day, except the groundhog was me, in my plane seat, eating something that had been described on the menu as a “warm pasta dish”. I had been midway through my Crowd Pleaser tour – four weeks of travelling, cooking, talking about food across Asia, Australia, New Zealand and now North America. I had left late summer in New Zealand – cherries at the market and a sunset that hung around until gone nine – and stepped off the plane into a San Francisco February that should have felt like winter. Instead it was warm and sunny. I had a case of seasonal jet lag, on top of the regular kind. We tend to think of eating seasonally as something signposted – lamb at Easter, strawberries in summer, the first pumpkin soup in October. The holidays and occasions do a lot of this work for us, nudging us towards what’s ready, whether we’ve noticed it or not. But we all know that the real thing is mainly physical: the set of signals your body has been quietly receiving all along – the cold that makes you want something warm, the heat that makes watermelon, eaten over the sink, taste perfect. Cross enough time zones and hemispheres and those signals get scrambled. You’re hungry, but you don’t know what for. double quotation mark Cooking for someone is only a small part of a larger exchange: one of presence and of showing up So on my second 22 February, I took the train to Oakland to visit my friend Samin Nosrat – the best possible prescription for a scrambled appetite.

(RTTNews) - A report released by MNI Indicators on Friday showed its reading on Chicago-area business activity soared to its highest level in over four years in the month of May. MNI Indicators said its Chicago business barometer spiked to 62.7 in May from 49.2 in April, with a reading above 50 indicating growth. Economists had expected the index to rise to 51.2. The Chicago business barometer saw its joint second-largest monthly increase since its inception in February 1967, reaching its highest level since January 2022. The surge by the headline index came as the new orders index soared by 18.2 points to its highest level since January 2022, while the production index shot up by 11.9 points to its highest level since July 2022. The order backlogs index also jumped by 9.4 points, returning to expansionary territory but remaining below the March level. Meanwhile, the report said the employment index dipped by 1.3 points but remained above the level seen in March. MNI Indicators also said the prices paid index increased by 3.5 points to its highest level since May 2022, as respondents continue to highlight oil prices and transport fuel surcharges.

For nearly 80 years, Ferrari occupied a unique cultural space where its cars were aspirational, even for people who resented those who could afford them. The price, the exclusivity, and the opacity of the buying process allowed Ferrari to sail above ordinary criticism. You might not be able to afford one, but you still wanted one. The Luce has arrived in a moment where wealth inequality and corporate excess have rarely been this visible or this resented. In that environment, a car that costs more than most people earn in a decade, yet looks like something bland and mass market, was always going to land hard. Ferrari has always sold desire across class lines. The $640,000-plus Luce homogenizes the aesthetic while keeping the Ferrari price, enraging loyalists and fans alike. “The reaction illustrates how intrinsically the brand identity, expectations, and design are tied together,” Derek Jenkins, the SVP of Design and Brand at Lucid, told The Verge. “I can see a couple of things in the exterior design that still reference the brand. The taillights for one, the red color option, and finally, the logo. Everything else — proportions, lack of visual agility, even the expression of performance — is missing from the exterior. The face of the car isn’t identifiable… It’s a mismatch with the brand.” “The face of the car isn’t identifiable… It’s a mismatch with the brand.” — Derek Jenkins, SVP of Design and Brand at Lucid The Luce is the longest Ferrari ever built, eschewing the brand’s traditional sharp, aggressive lines for a more sweeping, aerodynamic profile. It’s also Ferrari’s first five-seater, with a low stance that almost makes it seem like a hatchback. It looks as though its sleek, dark “glass house” cabin is nested inside a separate, chunkier aluminum shell. And instead of a traditional grille, it features an S-duct swoop that drops down. It’s baffling to look at. As Raphael Zammit, chair of transportation design at the College for Creative Studies in Michigan, expl...

Opt in for Optimizer here. At this time last week, I was getting ready to ask people what drugs they were on. I was waiting in a conference room at the Hilton Resorts World Las Vegas. In my hands was a sheet detailing the schedule of the roughly 40 elite athletes participating in the Enhanced Games — an athletic event where using legal performance-enhancing drugs was the name of the game. Soon enough, there would be a media scrum where the press could go up to each athlete, shove a microphone in their face, and ask, “Hey, what are you taking?” None of the athletes disclosed their unique, personalized cocktail of performance-enhancing substances. They just told us that they felt good, that training was easier, and that recovery was faster. Enhanced, the company behind the Games, only shared an aggregated, nonspecific list of what athletes were using, to prevent copycats from taking the same drugs without medical supervision. Much has already been said about the results of the inaugural Games. How three of the four unenhanced athletes beat their “enhanced” rivals in their races. How only one world record — arguably the main marketing draw of the event — was broken. How, in the end, it seemed the Games itself was a shady scheme aimed at convincing a susceptible public to buy supplements, hormone therapies, and (legal) peptides from Enhanced’s direct-to-consumer telehealth platform. I walked away from the Games with many questions. But from all my interviews and conversations, the biggest one was: How do we decide what’s safe to put into our bodies? James Magnussen had so...

Most married couples can look forward to two Social Security benefits in retirement. This could help you stretch your savings further, but a lot depends on the strategy you use. If you and your partner both sign up for benefits without communicating with each other, you risk short-changing yourselves. Here's what you need to know to decide when each person should apply for Social Security. Social Security retirement vs. spousal benefits You'll qualify for Social Security retirement benefits on your own work record if you've worked long enough to claim 40 credits, where one credit is $1,890 in earnings in 2026, and you can earn up to four credits per year. If your partner also qualifies for a retirement benefit, you'll be eligible for a spousal benefit on their work record, too. A spousal benefit is worth up to one-half of the benefit your partner qualifies for at their full retirement age (FRA). This is 67 for most people. Like retirement benefits, you can claim these checks as early as 62, provided your partner is already on Social Security. But you'll get a smaller monthly benefit if you apply early. Spousal Social Security benefits continue growing until you reach your FRA. Retirement benefits can continue to grow until age 70, when you qualify for your maximum checks. How to work with your spouse to maximize your household Social Security benefits The Social Security Administration will only give you the larger of the two benefits you qualify for. That's likely to be your retirement benefit unless your spouse has earned considerably more than you throughout your career. If that's not the case and your goal is to maximize your household benefits, you may each want to delay your retirement benefits as long as possible. When one person has significantly outearned the other, the lower earner may prefer to apply for their own retirement benefit first. This gives the household some Social Security to supplement their other income sources while the higher earner holds ...

Kicking The Can On A Ceasefire "Which Does Not Solve Anything" Bas van Geffen, Senior Macro Strategist at Rabobank Both Bloomberg and Axios report that the US and Iran have reached a tentative deal to extend the ceasefire by 60 days as they engage in further negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme. However, Tasnim reported that the text of the memorandum of understanding had not been finalized. US Vice President Vance said that the two sides are still “ going back and forth on a couple of language points ,” which reportedly includes the wording on Iran’s nuclear capacity . But the Vice President said that Iran appears to be negotiating in good faith, paving the way for Trump’s approval of the ceasefire extension. While negotiators are trying to dot the i’s and cross the t’s of the memorandum, President Trump has reportedly asked for a couple of days to think about the final deal. Energy prices fell further on the news that a deal could –again– be imminent, after the US administration made similar claims last week. Brent futures are currently down about 10% on the week. That, in turn, is lifting optimism in other markets. Yields dropped, and green figures returned on stock exchanges. Admittedly, a 60-day extension would lessen some of the near-term tail risks – although both sides have accused each other of violating the current ceasefire. Just the past day, Kuwait intercepted a missile that Iran had fired at a US base, causing the US to respond with new “defensive strikes” on Iran. More importantly , a ceasefire does not solve anything, unless the US and Iran manage to agree on the key sticking points during that extended ceasefire. Treasury Secretary Bessent reminded everyone that Trump’s three red lines are unchanged: Hormuz must reopen, Tehran must end its nuclear programme, and Iran must transfer its highly enriched uranium . As we noted earlier this week, a nuclear deal still seems highly unlikely at this juncture. Likewise, Iran still believes that it can e...

A Kenyan court temporarily halted the opening of an Ebola quarantine centre for US nationals on Friday following a petition filed by a rights group. The facility was due to open in the east Africa nation on Friday according to US officials, to quarantine Americans arriving from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is battling a major Ebola outbreak. Washington has defended its criticised decision not to repatriate Americans infected with the virus. Advertisement US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has vowed not to allow any Ebola cases on US soil. The US-built facility was set to have 50 isolation beds and be managed by US medical staff at Laikipia Air Base, about 200km (124 miles) from the capital, Nairobi. Advertisement A US official confirmed the establishment of the quarantine centre on Thursday but the Kenyan government has not directly addressed questions about the facility.
