Well, that’s that then. Put out more flags. Mount the iconic Jedi‑style woollen cardigan in the club museum. He really does seem to be done this time. In the absence of formal denials, it now seems highly likely the scheduled final year of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City contract will be spent trawling the high-concept food ateliers of the Iberian peninsula, debating spatial architecture with a Slovenian Cluedo grandmaster over hummingbird martinis, and generally recharging after a decade of unceasing devotion to victory. Probably, anyway. Barring some last ditch talks with – and this is significant – the vice-president of the United Arab Emirates, the dominant era of the 21st-century Premier League is now over. They’re selling Pep wigs in Woolworths, and it is time both to pay tribute and also, here at least, to talk about the oddly overlooked shadow story to that era. The cultural impact of Guardiola‑ism has been discussed in gushing tones over the past two days. But this is also football, a place where everything, no matter how lovely, must also be tainted, where every butterfly is broken on a wheel. And Guardiola’s impact is also wrapped up in the other part of this story, the dark heart of his sport. Not that you’d know it by the noise, which has been devotional, fawning and piously one-note. On Sky Sports, Micah Richards, also a club employee, discussed Pep’s departure in the awed, tearful tones of a man being forced to confront the death of his beloved pet rabbit. One BBC production labelled it “a seismic event in world football”. A seismic what now? A what kind of event? Mainly the eulogies have reflected Guardiola’s outsized sporting status as the brain, heart and Stalinist-scale face of the entire City project. Rightly so in terms of medals and content. Guardiola has overseen the winning of 17 major trophies, or 55% of all City’s major trophies ever. His teams have been relentlessly beautiful, from the brittle, fearlessly transitional early years, through ...

A majority of Federal Reserve officials warned the central bank would likely need to consider raising interest rates if inflation continued to run persistently above their 2% target. In response to the same worries, “many” officials during last month’s policy meeting called for the Fed to drop its easing bias and signal its next move could be an interest-rate increase, according to a record of the gathering. While several policymakers said they believed rate cuts would eventually be warranted, most of the meeting’s participants instead stressed that “some policy firming would likely become appropriate if inflation were to continue to run persistently above 2%,” minutes of the April 28-29 Federal Open Market Committee meeting, published Wednesday in Washington, showed. To address the possibility of rate hikes, “many participants indicated that they would have preferred removing the language from the post-meeting statement that suggested an easing bias regarding the likely direction of the committee’s future interest rate decisions,” the record showed. The minutes underscored the deepening concern among Fed officials about inflationary pressures generated by the Iran war. The debate marked a substantial departure from the beginning of the year, when the central bank was still signaling interest-rate cuts as the most likely course of action in 2026. At the April meeting, the FOMC elected to leave its benchmark federal funds rate unchanged in a range of 3.5% to 3.75%. But the decision prompted dissents from three policymakers who objected to language in the post-meeting statement suggesting the Fed could eventually resume rate cuts.

In the weeks since the meeting, several officials have warned about the w...

The NRC has dramatically shortened review timelines across multiple advanced reactor projects in recent months. We have previously covered how the agency has cut license renewal times by roughly half and completed several first-of-a-kind reviews well ahead of historical norms. "6–12 Months For Construction Permits" - The Nuclear Regulation Overhaul https://t.co/Zrsj6FTvy6 — zerohedge (@zerohedge) April 29, 2026 The Long Mott project is backed by the Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP). The four reactors are intended to supply power to Dow’s large chemical manufacturing operations, with the potential for high-temperature process steam to be explored at a later stage. If completed, it would be among the first grid-scale advanced reactors dedicated to serving an industrial site in North America. The project still faces a recent regulatory nuisance . In February, the NRC granted intervention to the San Antonio Bay Estuarine Waterkeeper on a contention that Long Mott Energy, the Dow subsidiary developing the project, has not sufficiently demonstrated its financial qualifications. The assertion is hard to take seriously . Dow is one of the largest chemical companies in the world, and X-energy counts Amazon among its major backers. Yet the financial qualifications issue will now proceed to a hearing. Other contentions raised by Waterkeeper, including challenges related to the reactor ...
SpaceX has reportedly hired Goldman Sachs for the lead left position on its IPO prospectus. The eventual listing is expected to make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire, but markets have been jittery about Tesla (TSLA) stock ahead of the IPO, as there are fears that many investors, who hitherto had only Tesla as a publicly traded play on Musk, would ditch the stock to buy SpaceX instead.

SpaceX has reportedly hired Goldman Sachs for the lead left position on its IPO prospectus. The eventual listing is expected to make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire, but markets have been jittery about Tesla (TSLA) stock ahead of the IPO, as there are fears that many investors, who hitherto had only Tesla as a publicly traded play on Musk, would ditch the stock to buy SpaceX instead. Joe Gilbert, portfolio manager at Integrity Asset Management, said that the eventual SpaceX IPO “cannot be a positive for Tesla.” While he acknowledged that, in the past, Musk has balanced his commitments across his different companies, he believes that “it feels like SpaceX is his new baby at the expense of Tesla.” Tesla Stock Falls Ahead of the Imminent SpaceX IPO The fears might not be unfounded as the world’s richest person holds an estimated 43% stake in SpaceX, while his Tesla ownership is just about 12%. In fact, Musk has long argued that he needs greater voting rights at Tesla so that he is comfortable building AI products at the company without fear of being booted out by activist investors. Given the kind of valuations that’s been floating around for SpaceX, the company would account for the bulk of Musk’s net worth, and his financial interests would be more aligned with growing the company, which some believe would mean he focuses less on Tesla. To be sure, Musk’s association with multiple companies has always been a risk for Tesla investors, and it was among the reasons critics opposed his $1 trillion Tesla pay package, arguing that even that fat pay cannot ensure his time commitment to the electric vehicle maker. Tesla has never been a shining example of good corporate governance practices, and in 2024, Tesla shareholders sued Musk for starting a competing AI company at a time when the electric vehicle maker was itself pivoting to AI. Moreover, Tesla's electric vehicle business has sagged over the last couple of years, with deliveries falling in both 2024 and 2025....

(RTTNews) - BNP Paribas SA (BNP.L) in Real Estate plans to cut around 60 jobs in France by encouraging voluntary departures, as the European property market continues to deal with ongoing difficulties, as per a Bloomberg report. According to the report, the sector is going through a "structural and lasting crisis," which has led them to rethink how they operate. As part of this restructuring effort, they're planning to create 37 new positions in France. Since interest rates started climbing in 2022, Europe's real estate market has been under strain, affecting office property values and drastically slowing down transaction volumes. Any hopes for a turnaround in 2026 are being overshadowed by fresh geopolitical concerns. Currently, BNP Paribas Real Estate has around 4,000 employees globally. BNP.PA is currently trading at EUR 89.28, up EUR 1.78 or 2.03 percent on the Paris Stock Exchange.
