There are currently 13 companies with market caps of $1 trillion or more, but only four are members of the elite $3 trillion club (as of this writing): Nvidia at $5.3 trillion, Alphabet at $4.6 trillion, Apple at $4.3 trillion, and Microsoft at $3 trillion. Aside from being the world's most valuable companies, these titans of industry have another thing in common: they are all customers of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) , commonly known as TSMC. The company is the world's largest and most respected semiconductor foundry, and I am convinced TSMC is poised to join the ranks of three-trillionaires in the years to come. The company's chipmaking prowess is helping fuel the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, driving TSMC's business and financial results to new heights. The company has a market capitalization of $2 trillion as I write this, meaning investors who buy TSMC stock right now could enjoy returns of 47% if it joins the prestigious $3 trillion club.

Misan Harriman has been accused of promoting Golders Green attack ‘conspiracies’ and comparing Reform voters to Nazis Greta Thunberg, Tracey Emin and Gary Lineker are among those to sign an open letter in support of Southbank Centre chair Misan Harriman, after what they call a “dishonest smear campaign” by media outlets who accused him of promoting Golders Green attack “conspiracies” and comparing...
Misan Harriman has been accused of promoting Golders Green attack ‘conspiracies’ and comparing Reform voters to Nazis Greta Thunberg, Tracey Emin and Gary Lineker are among those to sign an open letter in support of Southbank Centre chair Misan Harriman, after what they call a “dishonest smear campaign” by media outlets who accused him of promoting Golders Green attack “conspiracies” and comparing Reform voters to Nazis. Harriman, who has been chair of the Southbank Centre’s board of governors since 2021 , was accused by the Telegraph of sharing a social media post that contained a “ conspiracy ” about the Golders Green attack because it questioned the amount of coverage given to the Muslim victim, Ishmail Hussein .

The DP World Tour putting its G4D disabled tour in cold storage does not fit the growing the game narrative, the Englishman argues Kipp Popert is a man on a mission.

The DP World Tour putting its G4D disabled tour in cold storage does not fit the growing the game narrative, the Englishman argues Kipp Popert is a man on a mission. The 27-year‑old Englishman, who tops the disabled world rankings, uses one word a lot: “opportunity”. Popert was “shocked” to hear from the DP World Tour that its G4D circuit, which staged a handful of tournaments per year for disabled players between 2022 and 2025, has been placed into cold storage. The G4D Open, a tournament for 80 golfers with disabilities, will be staged at Celtic Manor from Thursday. It takes place thousands of miles from Pennsylvania and this week’s US PGA Championship, which last year bestowed $3.4m (£2.5m) on Scottie Scheffler . Even the main platform for players in this domain does not offer prize money. It is not Popert’s way to lambast anyone. He instead calmly articulates the impact of that move. Continue reading...

The naturalist is venerated as a cuddly Paddington Bear, but he’s more than that. Don’t let the superficial backslaps obscure the political critique he makes The excesses the capitalist system has brought us have got to be curbed somehow. Ordinary people worldwide are beginning to realise that greed does not actually lead to joy. Our economic system has been based on the profit principle: you have to come out at the end of the year having made a profit, and the bigger profit you have made, the better it is. In the short term that works, but it ends with disaster. At this point, I should make a confession. The above sentiments are not mine at all. In fact, they were pilfered, purloined, shoplifted from a far more erudite radical thinker than myself. So, quiz time: which incendiary leftwing firebrand spoke these words? Zack Polanski? Antonio Gramsci? Ash Sarkar? At the very least, you would probably assume that, in the current climate, anyone daring to utter these dangerous fringe sentiments would be cast to the margins of our cultural life, only occasionally being let out for the purposes of getting shouted at on the Jeremy Vine show. Jonathan Liew is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

Umer Khalid, accused of role in Palestine Action break-in, alleges he has not received proper treatment or wheelchair A prisoner with a muscle-wasting condition accused of taking part in a Palestine Action protest claims he has been forced to crawl around the jail – including to get medicine – because of lack of treatment and a wheelchair. Umer Khalid, who is being held at Wormwood Scrubs in west London, awaiting trial for alleged involvement in last year’s break-in at RAF Brize Norton, also alleges he was left in his cell when the prison was evacuated because of a fire alarm and went 26 days without a shower while waiting for a shower chair to be provided.

Discussion over racing should include those working in the sport and fans, along with MPs and animal rights campaigners The Green party surged to record results at local and national level in last week’s elections, prompting Zack Polanski, the party’s leader, to suggest that two-party politics is “dead and buried”.

Discussion over racing should include those working in the sport and fans, along with MPs and animal rights campaigners The Green party surged to record results at local and national level in last week’s elections, prompting Zack Polanski, the party’s leader, to suggest that two-party politics is “dead and buried”. Ladbrokes, meanwhile, subsequently cut the odds about the Green party winning the most seats at the next general election to 12-1, while an overall majority for the Greens is priced at 28-1. Not likely, in other words but, at the same time, far from impossible. In the case of a majority for Polanski’s party, it is roughly the same price as Moon Chime, the winner of the big handicap hurdle at Haydock last Saturday. However the party fares in terms of seat numbers, the Green voice in the next parliament, in three years’ time or possibly fewer, seems sure to be significantly louder than ever before.

Plus: winning two titles in the same season, trophies with family connections and an easy routes to finals Mail us with your all of your questions and answers “Carlisle and Barrow will play each other next season in the Cumbrian derby in the National League,” writes Peter Hutchinson . “The clubs are located at opposite ends of Cumbria and the distance between the two grounds is some 78 miles [by car]. Does this make it the greatest distance between two teams involved in a ‘derby’? A couple of clarifications: answers here will feature the shortest distances by car. The second, perhaps more important, point is that we are excluding matches that are simply rivalries. Specifically, we are looking for matches between teams that are linked based upon their proximity or geography, rather than, say, a ‘clásico’ between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is essentially a historical rivalry in which the distance between the two teams is largely irrelevant (save for being in the same country). Can you find a derby based on proximity or geography with teams more than 386 miles apart? Emails to the usual place: knowledge@theguardian.com . Continue reading...

In an exclusive interview the Brazil coach talks about being in charge of ‘the most important national team’, how to get the best out of Vinícius Júnior and what he learned at Madrid Is Carlo Ancelotti an ambitious man? The Italian leans back and smiles. “Me? I’m not ambitious. Why? Why are you asking that?” The reason for the question is simple: the 66-year-old is one of the most successful managers ever, with five Champions League wins and league titles in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. But he still wants more. Last May he was appointed Brazil head coach with one objective: to win the World Cup. “I’m not obsessed with winning,” Ancelotti says. “What I have is a passion for enjoying the moments that football has given me. I’m not obsessed with winning the World Cup, but I have the pleasure and passion to enjoy the moment I’m living in, leading the most important national team in the world.” Continue reading...
David Tennant and Michael Sheen are still a dazzling demon and angel double act – but everything else about this controversial finale is smug, grating and stale The omens for Good Omens have been bad from the start.

David Tennant and Michael Sheen are still a dazzling demon and angel double act – but everything else about this controversial finale is smug, grating and stale The omens for Good Omens have been bad from the start. A litany of abandoned dramatisations of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s 1990 fantasy novel finally came to an end when Prime’s TV version debuted in 2019, but by then Pratchett was dead and the show was awkward and mannered, too in awe of the source material, yet dogged by uncertainty about how Pratchett might have altered it. Four years later, season two told a new story that acknowledged the dominant energy of the show’s lead performers, David Tennant and Michael Sheen. Without the book to draw on or Pratchett to consult, Gaiman seemed unsure what to do with his stars, but a fan-pleasing finale converted the chemistry between Tennant’s boisterous demon Crowley and Sheen’s thoughtful angel Aziraphale to romance, confirmed with a kiss before being stymied by cosmic obligations.
