Arne Slot has confirmed Alexander Isak will be available for Liverpool’s Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain as he nears recovery from a fractured leg. The £125m British-record signing has not played since 20 December and has yet to resume full training but, in a boost to Liverpool’s prospects of overcoming the European champions, he is on schedule to feature when the teams meet at the Parc des Princes on 8 April. Isak will clearly not be ready to start after almost four months out but will offer Slot an option from the bench. “He will be available,” said Slot, who will be without Mohamed Salah and Alisson for Saturday’s early kick-off at Brighton because of muscle injuries. “The question is what you mean by ‘ready’. If you want to have the player who played exactly a year ago against us in the Carabao Cup final, and was too good for us on that day, then I would tell you I have my doubts about that after months out. But I expect I can use him for minutes. “Exactly what I get from that I cannot tell you because he hasn’t trained with the team even once. You don’t after one training session play 45 minutes or 90 minutes. If we wanted to arrange a game it would have to be three-v-three because we only have Federico [Chiesa], Curtis [Jones] and Joe [Gomez] available [the rest of the first-team squad are in recovery after Galatasaray]. We have the under-21s team but Alex is not yet ready to play in the international break. If he would have been, he would have been with Sweden.” Isak needed several months to get up to speed in the autumn having missed pre-season at Newcastle to force his move to Anfield. Nevertheless, Slot believes the 26-year-old can have an impact in the final months of the campaign. “I am just as excited as the fans to have him back because it is fair to say that in 90% of our games we’ve had more chances than the other team,” said Liverpool’s head coach. “If we had one of the best strikers in the world playing then that would ha...

Jury finds Elon Musk misled investors during Twitter purchase toggle caption Dan Hernandez/San Francisco Chronicle/AP SAN FRANCISCO — A jury has found Elon Musk liable for misleading investors by deliberately driving down Twitter's stock price in the tumultuous months leading up to his 2022 acquisition of the social media company for $44 billion. But it absolved him of some fraud allegations, finding that he did not "scheme" to mislead investors. The civil trial in San Francisco centered on a class-action lawsuit filed just before Musk took control of Twitter, which he later renamed X. Jurors were asked to decide if two tweets and comments Musk made on a podcast in May 2022 amounted to him intentionally defrauding Twitter shareholders, who sold their shares based on Musk's statements. Sponsor Message The nine-person jury returned the verdict after 3 days of deliberation, nearly three weeks after the trial began on March 2. They said that while Musk was liable for misleading investors with two tweets — including one said the Twitter deal was "temporarily on hold," he did not do so with a statement he made on a podcast and that he did not intentionally "scheme" to defraud investors. Because it is a class action case, it is not clear what amount in damages Musk will have to pay to thousands of shareholders, many of them institutional investors, but it is likely in the billions. The jury awarded shareholders between about $3 and $8 per stock per day Musk's fortune is currently estimated at about $814 billion, much of it tied up in Tesla shares. Much of the trial focused on Musk's claims about the number of bots on Twitter. Musk testified that Twitter had a much higher number of fake and spam accounts than the 5% it disclosed in regulatory filings. He used what he called Twitter's misrepresentation of the number of fake accounts on its service as a reason to retreat from the purchase. After Musk tried to back out, Twitter went to court in Delaware to force him to honor h...

Milei's "Miracle" Faces First Cracks As Argentina's Unemployment Rises Argentina’s much-touted turnaround under Javier Milei may be losing momentum, with fresh labor data pointing to a weakening jobs market, according to Bloomberg . By the end of last year, unemployment had climbed to 7.5%—the highest rate for a fourth quarter since the Covid era—reflecting a deterioration in employment conditions before the government pushed through its landmark labor overhaul. New figures show that joblessness in the formal sector increased for the first time in three quarters, while the share of workers in informal roles remained largely unchanged at roughly 43% of total employment. Bloomberg writes that since Milei took office, Argentina’s formal private sector has shed more than 200,000 salaried positions—around 3% of its workforce. Although the government has also eliminated thousands of public-sector jobs, the overall unemployment rate hasn’t surged as sharply as expected, partly because more people have turned to freelance or informal work to make ends meet. In February, Milei secured a major political win when Congress approved a scaled-back version of his labor reform, designed to reduce hiring and firing costs and introduce broader flexibility into the labor market. Investors welcomed the move, but economists caution that it is unlikely to deliver immediate job growth. With economic activity sluggish, consumer demand still weak, and labor-intensive sectors under pressure as the economy opens up, any employment recovery may take time to materialize.

On Friday, a jury in California determined that Elon Musk had misled investors in Twitter via public statements that depressed the price of the company's stock ahead of his ultimately successful purchase of it. Because it was a class action lawsuit, Musk is likely to be faced with paying out damages to a huge range of investors, payments that may ultimately reach billions of dollars. In the lead up to Musk's ultimate purchase of the social media platform, he made a number of comments on the platform itself and while appearing as a guest on a podcast that raised questions about whether the sale would go through, largely focused on the prevalence of bot accounts on the platform. This depressed the price of the company's shares and raised fears that the deal wouldn't go through, causing some investors to sell shares at a depressed price during this period. A number of those investors started a suit that was certified as a class action, claiming that the statements defrauded them, and that Musk did so intentionally as part of a larger scheme. The jury rejected the arguments about the larger scheme, but found Musk liable for the tweets. Read full article Comments

Tech trends like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing are what grab the headlines; there's no doubt about that. And while the gains from them are undeniably impressive, it's always a good idea to hedge your bets. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, as the old saying goes. And a good way to avoid doing that with tech stocks is by investing in industrial companies, their polar opposite in many ways. Where tech stocks are usually concerned with cyberspace, industrial companies concern themselves with the physical world and produce things people need. They're often boring, but they are incredibly important. The tech industry also strongly relies on the two companies below, albeit indirectly. Both of these stocks are strong long-term plays you'll want to sit on for years, maybe even decades, and they make a stable hedge against potential volatility in the tech sector. Excitable atoms Up first is Cameco (CCJ 4.74%), Canada's premier uranium miner and the second-largest in the world in terms of production. In 2025, Cameco alone was responsible for 15% of all the uranium produced globally. At first blush, the company's business is simple and straightforward: Cameco mines and refines uranium for use in nuclear power plants. But there's a lot more to it than that. The mines it holds, for one thing, are large and the uranium ore they produce is of a very high grade, requiring less refinement than the lower-grade ore that comprises much of Kazakhstan's production. Cameco is also involved in the production of usable nuclear fuel pellets and rods. It even has a hand in the reactors that fuel is used in through its 49% share of a joint ownership stake in engineering company Westinghouse. Westinghouse designs and manufactures the AP1000, the most advanced commercially available nuclear reactor in the world. And, given that AI's energy needs have governments and companies around the world investing in nuclear power, Cameco will also profit indirectly from the tech i...

Champions Bath left no doubt about their appetite for another title as they swept Saracens aside 62-15 at the Rec to regain top spot. The Londoners started brightly and did not lack effort but Bath’s killer instinct earned them nine tries in front of another capacity crowd. Scotland’s Finn Russell kicked 17 points from seven conversions and a penalty. Russell and the club captain, Ben Spencer, were straight back into action after ultimately frustrating Six Nations campaigns with their respective countries. Saracens were quickest out of the blocks, charging down Spencer’s attempted box-kick and working Tobias Elliott clear for a try in the corner after just 70 seconds. Owen Farrell landed the conversion and added a penalty after 13 minutes as Bath struggled to find their rhythm. Ollie Lawrence provided the necessary reset, first with a crash-ball surge almost to the try line and then the tip-on for Will Muir to score in the corner from a five-metre scrum. Russell converted and delivered a prodigious 40-22 kick to pile on the pressure again. Scotland back-row Josh Bayliss won the resulting lineout and retrieved a loose ball to evade three defenders on his way to the try line, with Russell’s conversion putting the home side 14-10 ahead after 20 minutes. Consecutive penalty awards against the visitors led to Alfie Barbeary exploiting an opening from a catch-and-drive for the third Bath try. Back came Saracens with a Theo Dan breakaway which forced a penalty advantage leading to a second try for Elliott. However, a 70-metre interception try by Henry Arundell soon secured a bonus point for Bath. Russell converted and rounded off the first half with a penalty for a 31-15 interval lead. Saracens came out for the second half in determined mood, but when they lost possession right in front of the Bath posts the ball was cleared upfield and Spencer seized his chance to score in the corner. Russell was wide with the kick but had no problem converting Kepu Tuipulotu’s score afte...
