The war in the Middle East and a photo Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Mandelson dominate Saturday's papers. The Daily Telegraph is among the front pages to feature the first known picture of the trio together, which was found in documents released by US officials. It shows the men wearing bathrobes and sitting around a wooden table, reportedly in Martha's Vineyard in 1999. Both Andrew and Lord Mandelson have denied any wrongdoing in their relationships with the late sex offender. The headline on the Telegraph's lead story is "Trump to take Strait by force", reporting that the US president is sending Marines to the Middle East to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as global oil prices continue to soar.
SNAP Recipients Sue Trump Administration Over Sugary Food Restrictions Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries sued the Department of Agriculture on March 11 over the issuance of waivers to five states restricting certain types of foods that can be purchased under the program.

SNAP Recipients Sue Trump Administration Over Sugary Food Restrictions Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries sued the Department of Agriculture on March 11 over the issuance of waivers to five states restricting certain types of foods that can be purchased under the program. On May 19 last year, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins issued a waiver to Nebraska that bans SNAP recipients in the state from buying soda or energy drinks. As of March 4 this year, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved similar waivers for 22 states in total. In addition to soda and energy drinks, the additional waivers prohibit the purchase of fruit and vegetable drinks with less than 50 percent natural juice, as well as candy, unhealthy drinks, soft drinks, prepared desserts, sugar-sweetened beverages, and processed foods and beverages. Different states ban one or more of these items. In the lawsuit, filed at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, plaintiffs argued that the USDA’s actions amount to “authorizing a patchwork of state-by-state food prohibition regimes.” “These changes deprive SNAP recipients and their families of the food they need to maintain their health and employment, and in some cases, to survive,” the lawsuit alleged. “Individuals with chronic illnesses are losing access to products they need to manage blood sugar or sustain diets they need to maintain baseline health care needs. “Families must choose between using scarce cash to purchase restricted items or foregoing essential household expenses such as rent, utilities, or transportation. These harms are tangible, ongoing, and irreparable.” The lawsuit specifically challenges SNAP waivers issued for Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee, and West Virginia, the states in which the five plaintiffs reside. In 2018, the USDA had rejected similar food restriction proposals on SNAP purchases. According to the lawsuit, this wa...

Kharg Island is a small rocky outcrop just 15 miles (24km) off the coast of Iran - but despite its size, it is one of the most critical pieces of Iran's energy infrastructure. US President Donald Trump recently posted on Truth Social that the US military had conducted what he called one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East, obliterating every military target on the island. BBC Security Brief's Mikey Kay breaks down why Kharg Island is a lifeline for Iran, and why it is so strategically important for the US.

Artificial intelligence (AI) investing may be the current hot tech trend, but there's another important one already on the horizon that could make a big splash a couple of years from now: quantum computing. Quantum computing could unlock capabilities previously thought impossible and lead to a new generation of breakthroughs in multiple sectors. While there are several companies involved in quantum computing, two of my favorites are IonQ (IONQ +0.09%) and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS 1.46%). These two are smaller pure plays, and if their stocks pan out, they could deliver millionaire-maker returns. Each company has a unique approach to quantum computing There isn't one accepted way to perform quantum computing. There are several different options, which is what makes investing in this space so difficult. Each approach has its benefits and drawbacks; the question becomes which techniques compromise too much? The biggest issue quantum computing faces right now is accuracy. Quantum computers aren't accurate enough to deliver actionable insights, and trusting their outputs isn't a smart move. However, each company is racing toward making the most accurate quantum computer possible.

South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok and US President Donald Trump discussed the possible reopening of talks between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in a meeting in Washington, Yonhap news agency reported on Saturday. Kim told Trump he was the only Western leader to have had dialogue with North Korea’s Kim and was currently the only person who could resolve issues on the Korean peninsula , Yonhap quoted Kim as telling reporters in Washington. “President Trump said he was curious if Kim wants to talk to the US or him and asked about my views on that,” Kim was quoted as saying. Advertisement Kim did not say what specific suggestions he made to Trump but said he told Trump that recent comments by Pyongyang indicated Kim might be open to dialogue with the US, Yonhap said. Trump showed much interest in the topic, Kim added.

On 11 March 2026, NVIDIA and Nebius Group N.V. announced a partnership in which NVIDIA will invest US$2.00 billion via pre-funded warrants to support Nebius’s buildout of multi-gigawatt AI cloud infrastructure and co-develop next-generation AI factories and software stacks. The deal gives Nebius early access to NVIDIA’s Rubin platform, Vera CPUs and BlueField storage systems, aligning Nebius’s expansion plans with one of the most influential suppliers in the AI hardware ecosystem. We’ll now examine how NVIDIA’s US$2.00 billion capital infusion and deep engineering collaboration could reshape Nebius Group’s pre-existing investment narrative. The best AI stocks today may lie beyond giants like Nvidia and Microsoft. Find the next big opportunity with these 19 smaller AI-focused companies with strong growth potential through early-stage innovation in machine learning, automation, and data intelligence that could fund your retirement. Nebius Group Investment Narrative Recap To own Nebius, you need to believe AI-specific cloud capacity will keep tightening and that Nebius can convert today’s buildout into durable, contracted cash flows. The immediate upside catalyst is execution on its multi-gigawatt rollout and delivery against large Microsoft and Meta contracts, while the key risk is capital intensity and execution at scale. NVIDIA’s US$2.00 billion investment and technology alignment meaningfully ease near term supply and funding pressure, but they do not remove those execution and capex risks. The Independence, Missouri AI factory approval on 4 March 2026 looks even more important in light of the NVIDIA deal. A planned 1.2 GW campus tied to a municipally owned utility now sits alongside multi-gigawatt NVIDIA-backed infrastructure and early access to Rubin, Vera and BlueField. Together, they reinforce the central catalyst here: Nebius’s ability to turn very large, power hungry projects into dependable capacity that underpins existing hyperscaler contracts and any futur...
