Available for over a year Today, President Zelensky has been in London to agree a new defence partnership with the UK, with Downing Street hoping to unite “Ukrainian expertise and the UK's industrial base" to manufacture drones. But while Starmer and Zelensky were meeting one side of the Atlantic, President Trump was changing his mind on whether he needs Nato support in the Strait of Hormuz again. During a meeting with the Irish Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, President Trump hit out at Starmer again. Adam and Chris discuss Zelensky’s visit and President Trump’s change of heart. Plus, economics editor Faisal Islam joins Adam, fresh from looking at quantum computers with Rachel Reeves, to discuss the Chancellor’s annual Mais Lecture which covered AI, closer ties with Europe, and possible plans to devolve tax revenue spending.

Earlier this week, Apple unveiled the AirPods Max 2 .

Earlier this week, Apple unveiled the AirPods Max 2 . The forthcoming over-ear headphones build on their predecessor with an H2 chip that powers a range of new features; however, they still don’t offer the sort of cross-OS compatibility you’ll get with a modern pair of Beats headphones — including the Beats Studio Pro , which are on sale at Amazon , Walmart , and Best Buy for an all-time low of around $169.95 ($180 off) in the run-up to Amazon’s annual Big Spring Sale . Beats Studio Pro Where to Buy: $349.99 $169.95 at Amazon $349.99 $169.99 at Best Buy $349.99 $169.95 at Walmart Although they’re undoubtedly getting a little long in the tooth — the Beats design hasn’t fundamentally changed since 2017 — the Beats Studio Pro remain a solid pair of platform-agnostic headphones, particularly at this price. They offer one-touch pairing with both iOS and Android devices, along with support for Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find Hub networks, allowing you to locate them a little easier should you ever misplace them. Apple users get hands-free Siri access and support for head-tracking spatial audio, while Android folks get an AirPods-like audio switching trick that lets you effortlessly jump between different Android devices (phones, Chromebooks, etc.). As far as sound quality is concerned, the Studio Pro aren’t going to rival that of newer options like Bose’s latest QuietComfort Ultra or Sony’s WH-1000XM6 (or even the last-gen XM5, for that matter). Their custom 40mm drivers don’t deliver anything exceptional, but their signature is balanced and decent enough, even if it sheds some of the low-end oomph for which Beats was once known. Plus, they offer an excellent transparency mode for piping outside noise and support lossless playback over USB-C, letting you leverage 24-bit / 48kHz audio from compatible platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. Now, if only USB-C playback didn’t disable all access to their noise cancellation and transparency modes when active. ...

Meta Platforms (META) suffered a setback late last week when it reported delays in the launch of its new foundational AI model, Avocado. According to reports, the company’s AI model underperforms leading competitors like Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic across multiple benchmarks, including writing, coding, and reasoning. Despite showing great improvements over its previous versions, Meta believes the model is not worthy of a launch right now. Meta Platforms said that it will need at least until May to launch Avocado. This is disappointing for META stock shareholders, as Meta was projected to spend $135 billion on AI investments in 2026, almost twice what it spent in 2025. The company also has a history of big failures, with its metaverse project registering more than $70 billion in operating losses. Having said that, this is a price worth paying when a company has the ambition of leading today’s open source AI developments. In the coming days, analysts will react to the impact of Meta's AI investments, and the company will need to compensate for the delays somewhere, bringing more clarity for shareholders. About Meta Platforms Stock Meta Platforms is the owner of popular social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The company offers highly targeted advertising capabilities to businesses, based mainly on data collected from the billions of users that use its apps every day. Meta Platforms is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. META stock had a volatile 2025, and it has only returned 3% over the last 12 months. The stock has suffered mainly due to the uncertainty surrounding its AI investments, despite the fact that it was one of the few companies that had a measurable return on investment (ROI) on its AI investments in the early part of the AI revolution. The Avocado debacle shows why investors may be hesitant to back Meta’s AI bets, even when the company is in a strong financial position to do so. Wall Street has often criticized M...

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued an interpretation that clarifies how federal securities laws apply to certain crypto assets and transactions involving crypto, the regulator said on Tuesday. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission joined the interpretation to provide guidance that the CFTC and its staff will administer the Commodity Exchange Act consistent with the SEC's view. "This interpretation will provide market participants with a clear understanding of how the Commission treats crypto assets under federal securities laws," said SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins in a statement. "It also acknowledges what the former administration refused to recognize – that most crypto assets are not themselves securities. And it reflects the reality that investment contracts can come to an end." The new interpretation reversed the view of the Biden administration's SEC that most crypto assets are securities. SEC Chair Gary Gensler, Atkins' predecessor, has said that most crypto doesn't pass the Howey test, which determines an investment contract. That test says an asset that involves an investment of money in a common enterprise, with an expectation of profit resulting from the effort of others, qualifies the asset as an investment contract. The document is intended to serve as a bridge for entrepreneurs and investors as Congress strives to advance bipartisan market structure legislation, he added. The commission's interpretation: Provides a token taxonomy for digital commodities, digital collectibles, digital tools, stablecoins, and digital securities. Addresses how a "non-security crypto asset" may become subject to, and how it may cease to be subject to, an investment contract. Clarifies the application of federal securities laws to airdrops, protocol mining, protocol staking, and the wrapping of a non-security crypto asset. The document will be published on SEC.gov and in the Federal Register. The interpretation illustrates the Trump administration's lighter ...

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Tuesday closed up +0.25%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.10%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +0.51%. March E-mini S&P futures (ESH26) rose +0.26%, and March E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQH26) rose +0.52%. Stocks finished higher on Tuesday amid strength in chipmakers and travel stocks. Also, lower bond yields were supportive of stocks, as the 10-year T-note yield fell -2 bp to 4.20% after the ADP weekly employment change for the four weeks ended February 28 increased by +9,000, the smallest increase in five weeks, a sign of a slowdown in hiring by US employers. Stocks also found some support after Tuesday’s report showed US Feb pending home sales unexpectedly rose +1.8% m/m, stronger than expectations of a -0.6% m/m decline. Stocks were undercut on Tuesday as crude oil prices rose after Iran renewed attacks on key energy infrastructure in the Middle East. WTI crude oil (CLJ26) rose more than +2% on Tuesday after operations were suspended at the Shah gas field in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), while Iranian drones and missiles also targeted an Iraqi oil field. Also, crude loadings from the UAE’s port at Fujairah were halted again after Iranian drone attacks. The war with Iran is in its eighteenth day with no end in sight. Late Monday, President Trump said he will delay his summit later this month with Chinese President Xi Jinping in China until early May, saying it was important for him to remain in Washington to oversee the military operations against Iran. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump renewed calls for other nations to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to expand strikes to Iranian oil infrastructure if Iran keeps up attacks on other Persian Gulf energy producers. Crude oil prices remain high despite attempts to boost global supplies. The IEA last Wednesday released 400 million barrels from emergency oil stockpiles and said the war against Iran is disrupting 7.5% of global oil supply, ...

The vessels are scheduled to be delivered in June and August 2028, and the newbuilding contract provides Euroseas ( ESEA ) with the option to order up to four additional vessels of similar size, with high reefer plugs or conventional, within a short period of time. "With the outlook of the global refrigerated container shipping market remaining quite positive and the limited availability of modern vessels with significant reefer capacity, we believe that this measured diversification into the specialized high-reefer segment creates an attractive opportunity within this niche market," Chairman and CEO Aristides Pittas said. After the delivery of four intermediate and two feeder containership newbuildings in 2027 and 2028, respectively, Euroseas's ( ESEA ) fleet will comprise 27 vessels with a total carrying capacity of 84,676 TEU.

Aryna Sabalenka says she may never return to compete at the Dubai Tennis Championships after she and Iga Swiatek were harshly criticised by the tournament director for their withdrawals from the tournament last month. “I think it’s ridiculous,” Sabalenka said during her pre-tournament press conference at the Miami Open. “I don’t think he showed himself in the best way possible. For me it’s actually so sad to see that the tournament directors and the tournaments are not protecting us as a player. They just care about their sellings, about their tournament and that’s it. His comment was ridiculous. I’m not sure if I ever want to go there after his comment. For me it’s too much.” After the top two players withdrew from the tournament shortly before it began, the tournament director Salah Tahlak argued that top players should receive stronger penalties for last-minute withdrawals from events, including ranking points deductions. “I think there should be a harsher punishment on the players, not just fines, they should be docked ranking points.” In her press conference on Tuesday at the Miami Open, however, the women’s No 1 said her decision not to compete in February was based on her determination to remain physically and mentally sound in a “crazy” tennis schedule. Sabalenka opted not to compete at all in February, withdrawing from both the Dubai and Doha WTA 1000 events, both of which took place before the US-Israel war on Iran and the subsequent crisis in the region. Sabalenka’s decision paid off last week as she won the Indian Wells title for the first time in her career. “Going into this season, we decided we were going to prioritise my health and make sure that we have these little gaps in the schedule where I can just reset, recharge, work and be better prepared for bigger tournaments. I feel like scheduling is going crazy and I feel like that’s why you see so many players are injured, always taped and not delivering the best quality matches because it’s almost im...
