China called for a halt to the “unjust war” in Iran in a phone call between top diplomats on Friday and expressed willingness to work with France to prevent other nations from being drawn into the conflict. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Emmanuel Bonne, diplomatic adviser to the French president, that as members of the UN Security Council, the two countries should work together to firmly uphold international law and prevent the world from reverting to the “law of the jungle”. “The urgent priorities are, firstly, to curb the spread of the conflict and prevent other countries from becoming further involved,” Wang said, according to a Chinese foreign ministry statement. Advertisement He called for a unified international push for an immediate ceasefire and further mediation efforts, urging the United Nations and the Security Council to fulfil their responsibility in restoring regional peace and stability. Wang has spoken about the US-Israel war on Iran with counterparts from all permanent UN Security Council members except the US, including talks with Russia and Britain. Advertisement The escalating conflict “has not only hit global energy supply stability but also caused a massive humanitarian crisis”, Wang said on Friday.

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. This year is shaping up to be a big one for self-driving trucks. In addition to Aurora’s plan to deploy hundreds of autonomous big rigs and Waabi expanding into robotaxis, you’ve also got Kodiak AI aiming to launch its own fully driverless long-haul freight operation by the end of 2026. While robotaxis may still win all the headlines, driverless trucks are making their own progress, slowly but surely. But in a recent interview, Kodiak AI CEO Don Burnette said that deploying autonomous trucks is really only half the battle. He said that while most of his competitors are fussing over details like AI, perception, and mileage milestones, Kodiak is planning for the reality of operating a business. That includes answering important questions like who owns the trucks, how much uptime will be required, and what ultimately gets shipped. “So you start to very quickly realize that it’s not just does the truck operate safely on the road … that’s table stakes,” Burnette said. “What really matters to customers is how efficiently and effectively can I get that truck into and out of my operation … and everything in between. And nobody talks about this either.” Kodiak AI (formerly Kodiak Robotics) was founded in 2018 by Burnette, a veteran of Google’s self-driving car project (now called Waymo), and Paz Eshel. The company is developing self-driving trucks for highway and industrial uses, as well as the defense industry. In 2025, the company’s trucks began making driverless deliveries for Atlas Energy Solutions in the oil-rich Permian Basin of West Texas and eastern New Mexico, and now operates 20 driverless trucks there. Kodiak AI went public through a reverse SPAC merger in September 2025. And now the company is finally read...

When health insurance costs $2,500 per month, families make tough choices toggle caption Jarod Lew for NPR Parveen Vohra and Ken Warner had an expensive year in 2025. They're in their mid-50s, and they live in Manchester, Conn., with two dogs and three cats. They're both self-employed, Vohra as a mental health counselor and Warner as an independent sci-fi and fantasy author. "We needed a new roof and a boiler the same year as [two] surgeries — I had a hip replacement and Parveen had some eye surgery that had to get done," Warner says. The couple gets their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Even with a good plan, they had out-of-pocket costs. Sponsor Message To cover those expenses, they wiped out one of two small retirement accounts they had through previous jobs, before they became self-employed. This year is shaping up to be expensive, too. When the enhanced federal subsidies expired for ACA plans, their premium costs spiked. "In 2025, we were paying $630 per month total to cover the two of us for the medical, and it was like another $100 for the dental," Warner explains. "Now, we're over $2,500." To be specific, $2,531.07 every month. That number, he says, is insane. It's about the cost of the average U.S. mortgage payment. "We can't afford that — who can afford that?" Warner asks. They hoped Congress would make a deal to extend the subsidies, and for a few weeks in January, it seemed like that could happen. The House passed a bipartisan three-year extension, and senators held talks on their own deal. But in the end, those efforts failed, and federal lawmakers are no longer actively working on a solution. For Warner and Vohra and millions of people like them, that means these high premiums are a new reality — an added expense they've been coping with for three months so far, since January 2026. Cutting back on groceries The Affordable Care Act marketplaces had been growing in popularity for several years. Last year, 24 million people w...

Meet the Dutch art detective who tracks down stolen masterpieces toggle caption Rebecca Rosman for NPR AMSTERDAM – In his modest IKEA-furnished apartment, Arthur Brand paces to distract himself. "I'm nervous," he says, with the honesty of a man who has learned that bravado is useless in his line of work. He lights a cigarette, leans out the window, and scans the street below. "The waiting is the hardest part." Brand, 56, has made a career out of waiting: for a phone call, a knock at the door, and, every once in a blue moon, a Picasso or a Van Gogh left discreetly on his doorstep. "Those are the moments you realize it's worth it," he says. Sponsor Message Until, of course, everything resets, and the waiting game begins again. In another life, Brand says, he'll take his mother's advice and "find a normal job." But in this one, he's helped recover stolen art for two decades — often the cases police can't solve alone. Some call him the "Indiana Jones of the art world." Brand insists he's closer to a certain Pink Panther character. "Do you know Peter Sellers, Inspector Clouseau? Well, I'm like that," he says. "I always follow the wrong lead." Maybe it's true. Maybe it's just modesty. Or maybe it's Brand's ability to follow every wrong lead — and keep going — that keeps him in the game. He says he has recovered more than 150 stolen paintings and artifacts. His cases regularly make international headlines. There's the stolen Van Gogh that showed up on his doorstep in 2023, stuffed into a blood-soaked pillow in a blue IKEA bag. The Salvador Dali painting he recovered in 2016. The Picasso he tracked down for a Saudi sheikh in 2019. Brand's path into this work wasn't planned. "You know, you cannot go to university and say, I want to become an art detective," Brand says. "This is a job created more or less out of lack of other opportunities." Sponsor Message He traces his entry point to Michel van Rijn, a notorious Dutch figure in the art underworld who introduced Brand says t...

You Won't Believe What The UK Green Party Wants To Teach Children... Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Radical leftists want a new Department of Migration to push open borders propaganda in schools and fast-track voting rights, free housing and citizenship for illegals. A leaked Green Party dossier has blown the lid off plans to brainwash British schoolchildren into believing they have a ‘moral duty’ to embrace endless immigration. The document, hidden behind a password-locked policy archive normally only accessible to party members, calls for a new Department of Migration to work hand in glove with education chiefs. Its stated goal is to “disseminate knowledge” about immigrants directly into classrooms. 🚨 A LEAKED Green Party dossier reveals radical plans to teach children they have a 'MORAL OBLIGATION' to accept immigrants pic.twitter.com/Vzjt0qG89R — WeGotitBack 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@NotFarLeftAtAll) March 19, 2026 Children would be taught they have a “moral obligation” to accept immigrants under these radical plans. The exact wording from the leaked dossier states the new department would educate pupils on “the situations from which those seeking asylum and resettling refugees are fleeing, and the need for and moral obligation of asylum and humanitarian protection.” It goes further, declaring the party “seeks not only to provide asylum to those forced from their homes but to work towards a world in which no one has to flee their home.” Additional proposals include free legal advice and support to illegal immigrants to “regularise their status without penalty for being undocumented,” granting settled status to those who have been in the UK for at least five years — complete with welfare benefits, voting rights and a pathway to citizenship — and opening borders wider for those from countries with “seriously disturbing public order” or claiming persecution under equality laws. In short, the Greens want to hand illegals free housing, votes and passports while tel...

The overall digital asset industry is going through a difficult period, dragged down by the disappointing performance of Bitcoin (BTC 0.14%). The world's leading cryptocurrency is trading 43% below its record (as of March 18), established five months ago in October. Meme tokens are also struggling to drive investor excitement. Dogecoin (DOGE 0.49%), for example, is 66% off from its 52-week high. These notable dips should force investors to think about what the best move might be. Between Bitcoin and Dogecoin, here's the one I would buy for 2026. A hard supply cap is a compelling feature When looking at Bitcoin and Dogecoin as potential investment opportunities, there is no discussion. Bitcoin remains the superior crypto asset. Its scarcity should never be overlooked. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin units. This hard supply cap is written into the Bitcoin software. Since the first block was mined more than 17 years ago, this setup has not changed. And it isn't going to be altered in the future, unless network participants want to sabotage Bitcoin by changing the supply constraint, which would essentially destroy market confidence. Dogecoin has no supply cap. Its token economics support abundance. The supply base expands by 10,000 tokens every single minute. On a yearly basis, this means more than 5 billion new Dogecoin tokens are added to the worldwide circulation. When it comes to digital scarcity, Bitcoin is in a league of its own. That's an extremely powerful position to have. Given the ever-expanding money supply and sovereign debt levels, Bitcoin has a very favorable long-term tailwind. Focus on trends related to adoption Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that was created as a joke, with its founders wanting to develop a digital asset that was a funny alternative to Bitcoin. That drove excitement in years past. And today, Dogecoin's $16 billion market cap, which is bigger than familiar consumer companies like Celsius, Wingstop, and Lyft, indicates that ther...

中国香港放宽非本地受训医生特别是中国内地医生通过“特别注册”制度赴港执业的条件。 近期，中国内地医生赴中国香港执业条件放宽的消息引发业内关注。中国香港医生职业的天花板正在被打破。 上个月，中国香港医务卫生局向立法会提交了关于《医生注册条例》（第161章）的修订意见与配套措施文件，其中特别提到中国香港医管局（HA）会按服务需要，通过“特别注册”与“有限度注册”招募符合资格的非本地受训医生，中国香港永久居民及非永久居民均可申请特别注册来中国香港执业。 首次打破身份禁锢 这是自2021年中国香港推出医师执业的“特别注册”新制度以来的又一次重大政策调整。2021年，为填补医生数量缺口，中国香港政府在原有的执业考试机制以及“有限度注册”制度基础上，新增了“特别注册”通道，打破了过去考试合格率不高等准入壁垒。 据介绍，“特别注册”是赴港行医的重要途径，需要申请人先获得中国香港认可的境外全科医生执照或者专科医生执照，并在指定的机构工作服务满5年，通过评核后方可转为普通注册医生，正式执业。 尽管“特别注册”制度的推出为希望升读医科但成绩未能进入香港本地医学院的香港学生提供了一个新的选择途径，但对于内地医学生而言，想通过“特别注册”赴港当医生仍非常困难。因为条件严苛，不仅需要香港认可的学校毕业，更是需要香港永久居民身份，并参加全英文面试，通过医疗机构聘用后，经医委会同意，完成考核，才会继续聘用。身份加之能通过全英文面试的人数极少，“特别注册”制度发挥的作用并不明显。 此次的政策调整意味着即便是非港人士，只要是从香港认可医学资格名单上的医学院毕业的医学生，便有途径在香港参加执业考试、接受专科培训并执业，这也为内地医生赴港行医开了一道新的口子。 接受第一财经记者采访的多名内地医生表示，此次香港对通过“特别注册”制度赴港行医的条件放宽，意味着更多中国内地医生有机会申请到香港执业，这一方面凸显了香港医生资源的短缺，另一方面也反映了内地医生的医疗技术水平获得了更大程度的认可。 在香港，医生职业以高薪著称，即便是在公立医院，医生的收入也稳居所有职业排名前列。根据一份官方发布的薪资数据，香港医科专业毕业生的月薪7万港元（约合6万多人民币）起，年薪可轻松超过百万港元，远高于其他专业的毕业生；在公立医院做到顾问医生（consultant，相当于中国内地的主任医师级别）后，平均月薪更是能达到20万港元（...

失眠与多重因素有关，精神压力、焦虑抑郁、情绪波动等都可能引起失眠。而很多受睡眠困扰的人更想知道，睡眠障碍严重到何种程度时需要吃药？ 3月21日是世界睡眠日。简单的“睡个好觉”正在成为越来越多人的“奢望”。 根据中国睡眠研究会等机构发布的2025年中国睡眠健康调查报告，中国18岁及以上成年人睡眠困扰率接近一半，高达48.5%！中国超过3亿人存在睡眠障碍，其中约一半需要积极干预。 睡眠不好对健康的影响是全方位的，不仅会影响大脑、心脏、肝脏等多个人体重要器官，导致长期的健康不良结局，而且也与人的心理精神健康互为因果。 一种睡眠不好是熬夜等导致的睡眠不足、睡眠质量低下等。中国科学院院士、复旦大学附属中山医院心内科主任葛均波教授就常常提醒年轻人：“每一次熬夜，心脏都会记得！”一般认为，成年人需要保证7-8小时的睡眠时间。 另一种睡眠不好是睡不着，表现为入睡困难、失眠或难以进入持续睡眠。失眠与多重因素有关，精神压力、焦虑抑郁、情绪波动等都可能引起失眠。 持续的失眠对于人长期的生理和心理都有极大的负面影响，需要通过药物干预。而很多受睡眠困扰的人更想知道，睡眠障碍严重到何种程度时需要吃药？偶尔的失眠或入睡困难是否需要药物干预以及吃什么药？ 与治疗长期失眠服用的安眠药这类镇静药物相比，调节睡眠节律的营养补充剂褪黑素以及新型的双重食欲素受体拮抗剂（DORA）类非镇静药物不具有生理成瘾性，副作用也相对轻微。更重要的是，这些针对睡眠问题的非管制类药物与营养补充剂能够方便地在互联网电商平台上获取，也为很多睡眠障碍者提供了新的选择。 上海市精神卫生中心主任医师陈俊教授以卫材公司去年获批的一款DORA药物莱博雷生片为例，称此类DORA药物的作用强于褪黑素，安全性较传统的失眠治疗药物苯二氮䓬类药物进一步提高了，目前观察下来暂时没有出现副作用。该药物的适应症为失眠，特别是针对入睡困难以及睡眠维持困难。 但陈俊强调，即便是副作用小，规范化治疗失眠的第一步并不是用药，而是健康睡眠习惯调整，心理治疗，这些方法无效之后，才考虑药物治疗。

此次事件再次验证了中国开源模型们将成为全球AI发展的重要力量。 北京时间3月21日凌晨，一场围绕海外估值近300亿美元明星公司是否套壳中国开源模型的讨论，在网络端悄然展开。 事件起因属于美国编程垂直公司Cursor近日发布了一款新模型Composer 2，官方强调该模型通过持续预训练与强化学习自研而来，未提及基座来源。 其后，一位开发者在体验模型、调用API的过程中发现了一段模型ID——accounts/anysphere/models/kimi-k2p5-rl-0317-s515-fast，该段意思是：归属于Anysphere（Cursor母公司）的模型是Kimi2.5。rl代表 Reinforcement Learning（强化学习），说明 Cursor在 Kimi K2.5 基座上做了强化学习微调。0317代表模型训练打包日期，s515是训练批次，fast代表这是快速版推理分支。也因此，上述开发者直接调侃称： Composer 2不就是带RL的Kimi K2.5吗。 该截图随即引发行业人士讨论。特斯拉CEO马斯克直接在评论区发文称：“是的，是KimiK2.5。”Kimi预训练负责人杜羽伦确认：tokenizer（分词器，模型底层“指纹”）与Kimi完全一致。月之暗面联创周昕宇发文称：不记得Cursor有来申请授权。 作为一款开源模型，KimiK2.5被调用之所以引发行业争议，是因为Kimi K2.5 采用附加商业条款的开源许可证，要求基于该模型构建的商业产品若月活超过1 亿或月收入超过 2000 万美元，需要在显著位置标注模型来源。Cursor已达到该标准，却未按要求标注。 多方压力下，Cursor相关负责人出面致歉。Cursor教育开发者Lee Robinson发文称：没错，Composer 2始于开源，未来会进行完整的预训练。他尝试解释称：模型计算中只有四分之一来自基础模型，其余均来自团队的训练，因此评估方式不同。没有在一开始就提及Kimi模型是一个失误，团队会在下一个型号中进行修正。 Cursor创始人Aman Sanger表示，Kimi2.5是个好模型。团队评估了大量基座模型，结果证明Kimi k2.5 是其中最强的。 最终事件得到了一个体面的结局——Kimi.ai官方账号发文称，祝贺Cursor团队发布Composer 2。很高兴看到KimiK2.5...

Key Points Social Security's annual COLA reveal in October is arguably the most anticipated announcement of the year for program recipients. Oil prices have soared in the wake of the Iran war, which is likely to lift Social Security benefits for the upcoming year. However, a Social Security dollar simply isn't what it used to be, and a larger-than-expected COLA in 2027 won't change that. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › It's been a history-making past year for America's leading retirement program, Social Security. In May 2025, the average monthly benefit check for retired workers surpassed $2,000 for the first time in Social Security's 90-year history. Additionally, the 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) passed along this year marks the fifth consecutive year in which benefits have climbed by at least 2.5%. It's been almost three decades since that lasted happened. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » For the roughly 54 million retired workers taking home a monthly payout from Social Security, there's arguably no announcement more anticipated than the annual COLA reveal during the second week of October. While Social Security's 2027 COLA may offer recipients a pleasant surprise -- one of the largest boosts to their monthly payout in the last 25 years -- it'll almost certainly come with a catch. What is Social Security's COLA, and how is it calculated? Social Security's COLA is the program's way of accounting for the inflationary pressures beneficiaries face and adjusting payouts to reflect them. For example, if the cost for a large basket of goods and services increases by 3% from one year to the next, Social Security benefits would need to rise by the same percentage, otherwise program recipients wouldn't be able to buy as much (i.e., they'd lose...

Key Points Recursion is using AI to develop new drug candidates much more efficiently than the overall industry. Tempus AI's $1.27 billion trailing revenue comes from a clinical data flywheel that no competitor can build from scratch. 10 stocks we like better than Recursion Pharmaceuticals › Turning $10,000 into $1 million over a decade requires a 100x return. That only happens when you invest in companies at the start of a structural shift that positions them to take advantage of a massive market that isn't currently being served well. I spend a lot of time looking for these underserved markets and companies that have found new ways to take advantage. In some cases, it involves a current system that is clearly broken but widely accepted. Drug discovery is one of the best examples of this. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » For decades, the drug discovery process has been painfully inefficient. Thousands of compounds are tested over years of research just to produce a single development candidate -- and that's before clinical trials even begin. On average, it takes about 2,500 compounds and more than four years just to find one drug worth a clinical trial. The industry tolerated this inefficiency because biology is complex, and progress historically depended on slow experimentation. But artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to rewrite that model. AI-driven platforms can analyze massive biological datasets, run experiments faster, and identify promising compounds with far fewer iterations. That shift is creating a new infrastructure layer in healthcare -- and these two companies are building it. 1. Recursion Pharmaceuticals Drug discovery is broken.
