Every cricket-loving parent will know the feeling. Not a feeling, exactly, more a tiny flicker of hope. A ridiculous, irrational hope that the gods who once reached down and gently kissed the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Ellyse Perry might one day do the same to your little sprog. You hold your breath the first time you wrap their chubby hands around a plastic bat. You start dreaming absurd dreams when you softly lob a tennis ball in their direction and they accidentally smoke one into the couch. Maybe, despite all available evidence, despite the fact that you were, at best, a middling club cricketer with an exaggerated pull shot and a weakness against anything spinning away, maybe your child will be different. In all likelihood they won’t become the next superstar. And that’s fine. Because what you’re really hoping for has little to do with fame or contracts or Test caps. What you’re really hoping for is that they fall in love with the game. My youngest son was born last week. I’ve convinced myself that he has long fingers, the sort of fingers that lend themselves to mystery spin bowling. My five-year-old boy has relatively broad shoulders. Perhaps he’ll hit a hard length and give it a whack in the middle order. Perhaps there’s a club out there that will one day refer to them as “the Gallan-Cohen lads”. This is how cricket gets you. It turns otherwise rational adults into talent scouts studying toddler anatomy. It colonises the brain. Cricket parents start relating everything back to the sport. During labour, I was essentially Jack Leach to my wife’s Ben Stokes at Headingley in 2019: anxious and sweating, operating the TENS machine with the same awkward determination Leach showed in handling the Australian quicks, desperately trying not to let my teammate down while she produced something miraculous.

Chinese investment in Europe hit a seven-year high of €16.8 billion (US$19.5 billion) in 2025, driven by a strong rebound in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and record greenfield completions, a new report has found. But the annual study, published on Tuesday by Rhodium Group and the Mercator Institute for China Studies, cautioned that the pipeline may be thinning, with newly announced projects falling under pressure from Beijing’s push to retain industrial capacity at home and Europe’s growing regulatory barriers Advertisement Chinese foreign direct investment in Europe – including the United Kingdom – rose 67 per cent year on year in 2025, as China’s investors increasingly focused on the region. Europe’s share of China’s total global FDI jumped from 17 per cent to nearly a quarter, according to the two think tanks. M&A activity drove the rebound, rising 89 per cent year on year to €7.9 billion, while greenfield investment hit a record €8.9 billion, retaining its position as the primary channel for Chinese investment in the region. Hungary remained the most popular European destination for Chinese FDI last year, attracting €3.9 billion of investment, but the nation is starting to lose its commanding lead over traditional strongholds such as Germany and France, the study found. Several Chinese electric car and battery giants launched multibillion-euro factory projects in Hungary earlier this decade, but no similar deals were announced in 2025 and Budapest’s share of China’s FDI in Europe shrank to 23 per cent from 32 per cent in 2024. Advertisement Meanwhile, Berlin and Paris caught up at a stunning speed. Completed Chinese FDI in Germany almost tripled to €2.5 billion and quadrupled in France to €1.9 billion. Europe’s traditional “big three” economies – France, Germany and the UK – saw their combined share of Chinese investment leap from 23 per cent to 34 per cent in 2025.

Key Points Abel exited 16 positions in Q1, most of which Berkshire Hathaway hadn't owned very long. Amazon and UnitedHealth Group were two especially surprising stocks sold. Both of these stocks should have solid prospects going forward. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Warren Buffett once said that his "favorite holding period is forever." His successor, Greg Abel, might seem to have a much shorter preferred holding period, based on Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) investment activity in the first quarter of 2026. With Abel at the helm, Berkshire completely exited a whopping 16 positions in Q1. Such a flurry of selling was practically unheard of during Buffett's tenure as CEO. And two of the stocks that Abel dumped were especially big surprises. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.

The AHLA said hotels spent years preparing and have made "significant investments" based upon official projections. A study commissioned by Fifa,, external released last year, predicted that in the US the World Cup could create 185,000 jobs, adding $17.2bn (£12.7bn) in gross domestic product. The hotels were planning for an influx of international travellers, who book longer stays with a higher spend. But the AHLA said fewer overseas fans "threatens the broader economic impact" with just over three weeks until the opening game on 11 June. The AHLA said the large-scale bookings made by Fifa in all cities "shaped revenue forecasts, staffing plans and preparations". It said this booking policy "manufactured artificial demand" and masked the fact that tourist flow is going to be lower than predicted. Up to 70% of rooms reserved by Fifa in Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle have been cancelled, the AHLA said. In a statement Fifa rejected the AHLA's claims and said it had followed agreements made with hotel chains. "All room releases were conducted in line with contractually agreed timelines with hotel partners - a standard practice for an event of this scale," a Fifa spokesperson said. "In many cases, room releases were made ahead of established deadlines to further accommodate requests from hotels. "Throughout the planning process, Fifa's accommodations team maintained consistent discussions with hotel stakeholders, including room block adjustments, agreeing to rates, confirming room types and regular reporting, supported by townhall and ongoing communication." Prices spiked after the draw was made, as soon as fans knew which cities their teams would be in. There has been a gradual fall since then, reportedly by a further 20% in recent weeks. But this could be too late to entice fans back. Hotel prices in cities like Boston are still more than $300 (£224) a night, and most fans are working to a lower budget. Chris Hancock, an England fan who has been ...

财联社5月20日讯（实习编辑 于淼/编辑 齐灵） 美国财长贝森特再度敦促加息，为日本央行6月会议注入外部推力。但受多方因素影响，日本下一步的加息决策正陷入进退两难的复杂局面。 美国支持日本央行加息 贝森特昨日表示，若日本政府给予央行行长植田和男足够的独立性，那么植田将会做“他需要做的事”，这也暗示华盛顿方面希望日本央行进一步加息。 贝森特周二与日本央行行长植田和男会面后，在X网站上发文称，日本经济基本面强劲，货币过度波动是不可取的，他认为日本经济稳健增长，足以支撑日元走强，也理应推动日本央行上调利率。 去年10月，贝森特也曾敦促高市早苗允许日本央行加息。两个月后，日本央行将利率从0.5%上调至0.75%。 市场预计，此次日本6月的货币政策会议将有八成概率将短期政策利率从0.75%上调至1%。 日本政府鸽派对加息持谨慎态度 然而，6月的加息决策可能会遭到日本首相与其鸽派助手的反对。 当被问及贝森特的言论时，同为鸽派的日本财务大臣片山皋月在新闻发布会上表示，日本政府一贯恪守《日本央行法》划定的权责关系：既保障央行拥有独立决策权，同时也要求央行在经济政策层面与政府密切协同配合。 业内人士认为，此番表态显示他希望央行货币政策必须跟着政府财政思路走，不能自顾自激进加息。 周三记者会上，有记者问及贝森特上周与高市早苗、片山皋月会面是否将敦促日本央行进一步加息，日本内阁官房长官木原稔对此拒绝置评。他表示，政府希望央行与政府紧密协作，制定合理货币政策，稳步持续实现薪资上涨带动的2%通胀目标，而非依靠成本上涨推高的通胀。 从过往的表态来看，日本首相高市早苗及其幕僚已公开对央行短期内加息持保留态度， 主张央行货币政策应当配合政府举措，依托财政支出与投资持续拉动经济复苏。 进退维谷的加息决策 日本央行6月货币政策会议正值政府编制补充预算，为缓解中东冲突导致燃料成本飙升而对日本家庭进行补贴的计划筹措资金。 究其原因，伊朗战事令当地经济承压的迹象愈发明显，这场冲突正持续推高日本民众生活成本，且对高度依赖中东燃料进口的日本经济造成供应链中断等一系列问题。 最近日本国债收益率飙升也暴露出日益恶化的财政压力和通胀压力。投资者担忧地缘冲突催生通胀风险，进而引发全球债券市场大跌，这也使日本央行的决定变得复杂。 金融市场的动荡可能会迫使日本央行在释出其持有的巨额债券方面放慢脚步 ，让焦虑的债券投资者情绪...

“我的余额宝每天收益只剩七毛四了，大家的闲钱都放哪儿了？”大四学生小秋在小红书上发起了话题讨论。一时间，评论区涌入近百条留言。 2026年5月，天弘余额宝7日年化收益率正式跌破1%，下探至0.88%，创下自2013年成立以来的历史新低。 在低利率环境下，短端资产收益率持续下行，叠加监管新规收紧，货币基金收益普遍承压。数据显示，全市场已有超过两成的货币基金收益率跌入1%以下区间。 “‘破1’是趋势演变的标志性时点，而非突发事件。” 中央财经大学金融学院副教授吴锴接受《财经》采访时表示。 面对货币基金收益持续走弱的现状，投资者开始积极寻找替代标的。在前述小红书留言区里，出镜最高的答复是“买入债基”。 昔日稳赚无忧的低风险理财收益优势褪去，年轻投资者的理财观念也开始转变。不再执着于保本躺平，转而主动优化资产配置，短债基金、稳健型银行理财等产品，逐步成为主流稳健理财新偏好。 “投资者可选择的低风险投资还包括银行现金管理类理财、同业存单指数基金、国债逆回购、储蓄国债和大额存单、中短债基金等。”吴锴表示，“取舍逻辑应按资金性质合理决策，日常活钱和应急金放货基或现金管理理财，半年内不用的可配同业存单指数或短债，一年以上闲钱拉长久期配纯债或储蓄国债。” 余额宝收益率跌破1% 很长一段时间里，货基都是“懒人投资”的首选。1元起投、随时存取、收益按日结算的特点，让货币基金在年轻一代投资者中备受青睐。 当林一打开支付宝看到余额宝7日年化收益率跌破1%时，他的第一反应是：“惊讶，但也不意外。以前觉得货币基金收益虽然不高但至少比银行活期强很多，现在感觉‘聊胜于无’。” 2026年5月2日，管理规模超7000亿元、持有人户数高达7.89亿的天弘余额宝，其近7日年化收益率降至0.999%，正式跌破1%的整数关口。此后收益率继续下行，5月14日，跌至0.88%，万份收益仅有0.2375元。这意味着，1万元存一天，只能赚不到0.25元。 天弘余额宝并非孤例，当前货币基金已处于“微利生存”阶段。Wind（万得）数据显示，截至5月14日，全市场978只货币基金中，已有211只产品7日年化收益率低于1%，占比达21.57%，而去年同期仅47只。此外，数据显示，全市场货基平均7日年化收益率已降至1.2098%，较年初下降0.1个百分点。 业内人士普遍认为，本轮货币基金收益下行并非短期波动，而是宏观流动性宽松...

在立法會大會上，有議員關注貨運燃油附加費上調，影響本港航空貨運競爭力，政府指現行調整機制有足夠彈性。 國際油價波動，本港航空公司多次調整燃油附加費。運輸及物流局局長陳美寶在立法會大會回應議員質詢時指，已與航空公司多次會面，要求他們與貨運業界加強溝通。 今年直至四月，機場貨運量達160萬公噸，按年增長百分之3.7。當局已協助航空公司靈活調配運力，應對中東局勢帶來的臨時客貨運需求。 運輸及物流局局長陳美寶說：「本地航空公司近日因應燃油價格回落，已相應下調貨運燃油附加費，反映現行機制具足夠彈性。」 民建聯選舉委員會界別議員陳恒鑌稱：「航空燃油國際價格加了一倍，但香港航空公司貨運燃油附加費就加了四倍，對香港航空貨運信心，尤其是小包裹而言，打擊了信心。會否考慮引入與國際航空燃油費用或走勢綁定的機制？」 陳美寶表示：「航空燃料價格是佔了航空公司營運成本可高達三成，所以對其營運可持續性帶來好大影響。航空燃料因要作出特別的提煉，及很視乎中東相關地區煉油廠的供應，這方面有緊張，價格未必隨整體國際燃油價下調。」 選舉委員會界別議員管浩鳴指出：「究竟進口價是多少、如何決定加幅、究竟何時減？加幅是否真的用在(應對價格上升)，抑或只是利用了燃油附加費的名目，不過生意不好又順便加價？」 陳美寶回應：「燃油附加費調整機制中，有清楚定明調整幅度，最近也有要求他們要更頻密檢視。」 她指會密切監察情況。

格隆汇5月20日｜法国反欺诈部门星期二搜查了雀巢旗下Perrier装瓶厂及一处实验室。雀巢随后证实，执法人员当天搜查了位于法国南部韦尔热兹（Vergèze）的两处矿泉水设施，以及位于孚日山区的一处实验室。公司称将继续全面配合有关部门调查。法国媒体此前报道，Perrier及其他矿泉水生产商曾采用部分水处理技术防止污染，而有关做法可能不符合天然矿泉水的监管定义，因此引发外界质疑。

China’s top financial regulator has dropped a nationwide requirement for banks to grow inclusive loans to small businesses at least as fast as overall lending, signaling a shift toward risk control. In a notice issued Tuesday, the National Financial Regulatory Administration said banks should maintain stable lending to small businesses while improving loan quality and ensuring sustainability. The regulator no longer requires inclusive lending growth to match or exceed overall loan growth.

印尼央行于周三召开货币政策会议， 时隔两年首次加息 ，以此护盘连日屡创历史新低的印尼盾汇率。 印尼央行将 7 天逆回购基准利率 上调 50 个基点，升至 5.25%。 路透社调研的 29 名经济学家中，仅 16 人预判加息 25 个基点，其余经济学家均认为利率将维持不变。 与此同时，印尼央行同步将隔夜存款便利利率、贷款便利利率各上调 50 个基点，分别调至 4.25% 与 6.00%。 印尼央行行长佩里・瓦吉约线上新闻发布会表示：“此次加息，一方面是在中东局势引发全球市场剧烈波动的背景下，进一步稳固印尼盾汇率；另一方面也是前瞻性举措，确保 2026 至 2027 年国内通胀维持在政策目标区间内。” 受市场担忧伊朗局势拖累经济前景，叠加外界对印尼财政支出规划、央行独立性及资本市场透明度存有疑虑，近期印尼盾汇率接连刷新历史低位。 周三早盘，印尼盾一度跌至 1 美元兑 17745 印尼盾的历史新低；央行加息决议出炉后，汇率回升至 1 美元兑 17600 印尼盾附近。今年以来印尼盾兑美元已累计贬值约 6%，跻身亚洲新兴市场表现最差货币行列。 责任编辑：郭明煜

Australia’s most famous koala-sniffing dog – who has helped save endangered koalas from fires and floods – has hung up his little red boots, with the search now on for his successor. After a decade helping rescue koalas, 11-year-old detection dog Bear retired in March. His exit left conservationists scrambling to find a new recruit capable of plugging gaps left by human spotters and infrared detection technologies. The ideal candidate will be energetic, obsessed with fetching balls and have absolutely zero interest in chasing wildlife. “Those dogs often don’t make the ideal family pets, but Bear was born to be a detection dog,” the International Fund for Animal Welfare Oceania programs head, Josey Sharrad, said.

Allow and continue Bear was rehomed multiple times before landing with trainers a decade ago. “He literally ate the walls of his Gold Coast apartment in one home,” Sharrad said. But his intense focus made him a perfect fit for the long hours of conservation work. During the Black Summer bushfires, Bear helped find more than 100 koalas, many in need of urgent veterinary care. His red boots and life-saving work attracted an international following, including stars Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio. Now, conservation groups are teaming up with the University of the Sunshine Coast and a French canine expert to train the next koala detection dog. Frederic Chappee spent years leading canine units in the French army before training anti-poaching dogs in Africa and Indonesia. The successful recruit will likely be medium-sized, younger than two years old and comfortable charging through dense bush, he said. Unlike other koala detection dogs, which are trained to sniff out droppings, Bear was trained on the scent of live koalas - often hi...

Diplomats, businessmen and US marines mingle at the JW Marriott hotel in Caracas as deals are done and the country’s resources divvied up Over breakfast in one of the swankiest hotels in Caracas, you can hear them mulling Venezuela’s past, present and future in sporadically hushed tones. As diners tuck in to plates of fried eggs, black beans and arepas, snatched fragments of conversation speak of election roadmaps, political fragmentation and oil-fuelled economic growth. But the murmured discussions are not being conducted in Caribbean Spanish by Venezuelan officials pondering their country’s direction after the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro. The accents are North American and belong to the US officials, diplomats and spies now calling many of the shots here after Donald Trump’s controversial military intervention on 3 January. Neighbouring tables are occupied by huddles of musclebound US marines, tattoos covering their bulging calves, baseball caps covering their heads, and walkie-talkies strapped to their hips.

The words “acid exfoliant” scare the bejesus out of those with more sensitive skin, but they can be a godsend in making texture more even and makeup smoother and more long-lasting. The Guardian’s journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. In fact, a liquid containing the right blend of dead-skin-sloughing alpha or beta hydroxy acids will be infinitely more gentle, effective and even than those gritty physical scrub exfoliants many still reach for. The influence of South Korea’s wildly popular milky toners, with their focus on hydration and skin-barrier protection, can be seen in a new crop of milky acid exfoliants. These combine sturdy skin-clearing acids with skin-softening, soothing ingredients to cushion the blow. I love most things from US brand Naturium, but its recent launch of Multi Bright Milky Toner (£19), is a smash. This is a blend of exfoliating polyhydroxy acid gluconolactone (already gentler than most), azelaic acid (for uneven tone) and moisturising ingredients such as squalane, glycerin and rice bran oil that smooths and brightens. It’s a great option for those who’ve previously craved the glow of glycolic acid toners, but have found them too tingly, harsh and/or reddening. (Sturdier skin more experienced with acid may instead wish to try Naturium’s matching serum, £26, which uses lactic and glycolic acids for more punch.) I’ve worn the toner a lot in recent weeks and found it to be as effective as any exfoliant, but with no sting in its tail. double quotation mark I’ve worn Naturium’s toner a lot in recent weeks and found it to be as effective as any exfoliant, but with no sting in its tail. Trinny Woodall is of the same mind. Her company Trinny London’s new Tiptoe In exfoliant (£36) is a milky non-watery serum, that is applied with hands straight after cleansing. Offered as a gentler alternative to the brand’s popular Reveal Yourself exfoliant, this uses gluconolactone to exfolia...

For 150 years, the Mease had been altered by human hands, which destroyed habitats. But in 2013, a restoration project began – and now its wetlands are abuzz with wildlife ‘A noisy river is a healthy river,” says Ruth Needham of the Trent Rivers Trust (TRT). The Mease in the Midlands must be in fine fettle, then, as it gurgles merrily along. Sunlight glints off riffles in the water and shoals of fry dart past. Needham whips out her phone to video the tiny fish: “My colleagues will be jumping for joy to see them!” Needham has good reason to be buoyant. Last month, the Mease won the UK River prize 2026 – which was established by the River Restoration Centre in 2014 to acknowledge innovative projects – in recognition of the trust’s 13-year restoration campaign. “The prize has been a massive boost,” says Needham. “If we can get the Mease into better condition, we can improve other rivers, too.” ‘We wanted to get people to work together’ … Ruth Needham of the Trent Rivers Trust Continue reading...

Hugh Jackman sang a parody of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline. Bette Midler performed a satirical rewrite of Wind Beneath My Wings. John Lithgow wrote and recited a poem entitled The Mighty Colbert. Jake Tapper hand delivered a painting of Colbert as Gollum from The Lord of the Rings. And Jimmy Fallon offered a pointed take on Frank Sinatra’s My Way: “And now the end is near/ And so you face the final curtain/ But Trump, he made it clear/ He wants you gone/ Of that we’re certain.” A roll call of celebrities have paid pilgrimage to the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York in recent months to join a long goodbye to CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, honouring a voice that will be sorely missed from the national conversation when the lights go dark on 21 May. Colbert, 62, has provided a nightly antidote for millions of viewers feeling discombobulated at the end of another day in Donald Trump’s dystopia. He cut through the malign chaos to reassure them that no, it was not them going mad but the world around them. And he offered a contrast in character: where Trump is vainglorious, Colbert is irreverent; where Trump is narcissistic, Colbert exudes empathy; where Trump is indecent, Colbert manifests decency to the core. When CBS announced last July that the Late Show would be cancelled, ending a 33-year television institution hosted first by David Letterman then Colbert, many found the timing suspicious. The move came just three days after Colbert used his monologue to ruthlessly mock a $16m legal settlement between CBS’s parent company Paramount and Trump – and just a week before Paramount’s $8bn merger with Skydance was approved by federal regulators. CBS claimed it was “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night”. Letterman, for one, isn’t buying it. “I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying,” he told the New York Times earlier this month. “They’re lying weasels.” For a generation late night TV was ruled by Johnny Carson on ...
