The force says a “community protection team” will be set up, combining neighbourhood policing with counter-terrorism capabilities, as British Jews face “some of the highest levels of hate crime alongside significant terrorist and hostile state threats”.

In this article NVDA GLW Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 3:08 03:08 Corning and Nvidia team up to expand fiber optic production in the U.S. for AI Tech Nvidia , the chipmaker at the center of the artificial intelligence boom, is partnering with glassmaker Corning for three new advanced manufacturing facilities in North Carolina and Texas dedicated entirely to optical technologies for the world's most valuable semiconductor company. The factories will lead to the creation of at least 3,000 jobs and increase Corning's U.S. optical manufacturing capacity by 10-fold, the companies said in a joint press release on Wednesday. Financial terms weren't disclosed. Corning shares soared 15% on the news. Nvidia stock gained nearly 3%. The multiyear deal brings together two infrastructure players that have seen their fortunes skyrocket since the launch in 2022 of OpenAI's ChatGPT , which sparked an explosion of investments into new processors and systems for powering cutting-edge AI models and workloads. While the two companies didn't provide specifics about what's being developed, Nvidia is likely gearing up to replace copper with Corning's optical glass fibers in its AI rack-scale systems, an integration known as co-packaged optics. At Nvidia's GTC conference in 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called co-packaged optics essential for the AI buildout. "What Nvidia is doing is nothing short of extraordinary, not just for the future of AI, but for the American advanced manufacturing workforce," Corning CEO Wendell Weeks said in a press release. Corning's stock is up over 250% in the past year as of Tuesday's close, driven by the 175-year-old company's rapid pivot into the new economy. In January, Meta announced it would spend up to $6 billion as the flagship customer helping Corning build out its optical cable plant in Hickory, North Carolina, an expansion that's expected to create around 1,000 jobs. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang speaks next to the NVIDIA V...

Morgan Stanley is rolling out cryptocurrency trading on its E*Trade platform with a dig at rivals: cheaper pricing. The Wall Street bank is charging clients 50 basis points on the dollar value of each crypto transaction — undercutting Coinbase Global Inc. , the biggest crypto exchange in the US, as well as Robinhood Markets Inc. and Charles Schwab Corp . The offering is in pilot now, with all of E*Trade’s 8.6 million clients set to gain access later this year. The launch is Morgan Stanley’s latest volley in what executives describe as a road map to soak up share in an asset class that was, until recently, all but off limits for banks. The firm is betting traditional finance and so-called decentralized finance, or “defi,” will converge, and is building out crypto-related offerings across its business lines to lure customers who previously had to go elsewhere. “This is much bigger than trading crypto at a cheaper rate,” Jed Finn , Morgan Stanley’s head of wealth management, said in an interview. “In a way, the strategy is disintermediating the disintermediators.” After years of intense regulatory scrutiny, President Donald Trump ’s second term ushered in a new era for the digital asset industry. During his campaign, he vowed to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet.” That extended to banks, which had been subject to regulatory measures discouraging them from doing much in the space up until recently. Inside Morgan Stanley, discussions on how to expand in crypto have ebbed and flowed for years. Efforts to stand up various offerings at times collided with price crashes that sapped client interest, as well as regulatory pushback. After Trump won the 2024 election, talks on how to expand in the space gained momentum once more. Executives decided to offer spot trading on E*Trade and set out making plans to do so last year. In September, Morgan Stanley said it would partner with crypto infrastructure provider Zerohash to let clients trade popular coins, beginning wi...

Supatman/iStock via Getty Images The calm period before Fidelity National Information Services' ( FIS ) upcoming quarterly report was interrupted by an announcement of a partnership with Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) on the development of an AI agent focused on the investigation of financial crimes. The report was released just the other day, and in spite of the initial hype in the after-hours of trading, it did not have a material impact on the stock's performance. On a 3-year basis, FIS is still down by 11%, is significantly underperforming the equity market, and is about 70% below its all-time highs in 2021. Data by YCharts The last time I covered FIS was back in late 2024 when the stock was trading at nearly $90 apiece, and I downgraded it on the basis of its valuation multiples being hard to justify and some red flags appearing. Needless to say, since then FIS lost nearly half of its value. But as the news emerged about FIS involvement with Anthropic and the stock is not trading at one of its lowest multiples in a decade, it is easy to see why some investors might turn bullish on the stock. The upcoming earnings release later this week will shed some additional light on all that, but until then it is worth taking a sober look at FIS. Data by YCharts The Low Multiples In Context When outlining that FIS is priced conservatively on a historical basis, we should make clear that there are some important caveats. One reason why I use sales multiple above is because other valuation metrics could give us the wrong impression about the stock. The price-to-book multiple is also at record lows, but the book value of equity could easily become a meaningless figure in the case of FIS. Data by YCharts The reason why I say this is because the book value of equity represents the net asset value that is attributable to equity holders. These assets are usually the most risky ones from the balance sheet, as other stakeholders in the company are paid first in the event of bankruptcy. The p...

New Disney CEO Delivers Earnings Beat As "Important Change" Underway Disney reported better-than-expected second-quarter results, driven by momentum across entertainment, sports, and experiences, while reaffirming its positive outlook for the year. " At an important moment of change for Disney , we remain focused on executing our long-term growth strategy," Disney wrote at the beginning of the earnings release. The entertainment company continued, "Our creative and operational momentum drove strong quarterly results, and we continue to expect growth to accelerate in the second half of the fiscal year." "We are strengthening streaming through continued investment in the creative storytelling that defines us and in product and technology innovation, while advancing ESPN's direct-to-consumer future and delivering on our bold growth plans at Disney Experience," the introduction to the earnings release concluded.

Disney shares jumped as much as 8% in premarket trading in New York.
