Argentina’s credit score was upgraded by Fitch Ratings, signaling growing confidence in President Javier Milei’s push to overhaul the economy and secure financing to cover the country’s upcoming debt obligations. The South American nation was raised to B- from CCC+, six notches below investment grade, the ratings firm said in a statement on Tuesday. The outlook is stable. The move “reflects structurally improved fiscal and external balances, progress on economic reforms, improved prospects for FX reserve accumulation and our expectation that the government will secure adequate financing to cover debt obligations,” analysts Christopher Dychala, Richard Francis and Shelly Shetty wrote in the statement. Milei’s administration has won over investors with a mix of aggressive fiscal adjustment, deregulation and steps to normalize Argentina’s monetary and exchange-rate regime. Markets have rallied sharply since Milei strengthened his position in Congress after October’s midterm elections, fueling expectations that his reform agenda can now move forward with fewer political obstacles. The ratings action also reflects a series of policy steps aimed at gradually restoring market access, including a $1 billion local-law bond issuance in December, a $3 billion repurchase agreement with international banks in January — the third such operation under Milei — and a broader push to rebuild foreign reserves at the central bank. Investors see the moves as critical to improving Argentina’s credit profile after years of defaults and capital controls. Bond yields in Argentina have fallen sharply from the distressed levels seen on the eve of the midterms, with yields on the 2035 global dollar bond now around 10%. Country risk — a measure of spreads over comparable US Treasuries calculated by JPMorgan’s EMBI index — dropped to the lowest in more than seven years, though a global repricing of risk following the war in Iran has since pushed it higher. Investors have been waiting for Argenti...

A home-made bomb the size of a photocopier, a huge ransom and a messy tale of exploitation. This true-crime documentary is tragic On 26 August 1980, a huge metal box was delivered to Harvey’s Wagon Wheel casino in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, disguised as an IBM photocopier.

A home-made bomb the size of a photocopier, a huge ransom and a messy tale of exploitation. This true-crime documentary is tragic On 26 August 1980, a huge metal box was delivered to Harvey’s Wagon Wheel casino in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, disguised as an IBM photocopier. An X-ray confirmed that the complex explosive inside contained 1,000lb (450kg) of dynamite. An attached ransom note demanded $3m (£1.3m) within the next 24 hours. An FBI scientist, Kirk Yeager, says the fear was that this “metal box of mystery” had the potential to flatten a portion of the city. “I had never seen anything so sinister in my life,” says Mike Rowe, the district attorney at the time. “It was absolutely frightening.” Over three episodes, This Is a Bomb unpicks a messy tale of exploitation and extortion. It isn’t a whodunnit, but rather a howdunnit – a sad exploration of how a father coaxed his two teenage sons into a plot that had the potential to kill and injure thousands of people.

Apple on Tuesday settled for $250 million a shareholder lawsuit brought after the company delayed artificial-intelligence upgrades to its Siri voice assistant. The lawsuit, filed by Peter Landsheft in U.S. federal court in California in 2024, arose after the iPhone maker announced - and started running advertisements for - a bevy of AI upgrades at its annual software developer conference in 2024, saying they would become available with new iPhones that fall. In 2025, Apple said that the AI overhaul of Siri would not come until this year, and executives have now confirmed that the new Siri features will be unveiled at Apple's annual developer conference next month.
