Multiple explosions staged by suspected suicide bombers rocked the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, killing at least 23 people and wounding more than 100 others, police said Tuesday, . The three blasts, which struck on Monday evening, came after an attack on a military post overnight Sunday to Monday, which authorities blamed on suspected jihadists. Combined with the attack on the military position the evening prior and a mosque bombing in December, the assaults have wrecked a peaceful stretch in the city, which had become a relative oasis of calm as Nigeria’s long-running insurgency was pushed to the rural hinterlands. Advertisement Fighters from Boko Haram and rival jihadist group Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) have recently stepped up attacks in northeastern Nigeria. Their 16-year campaign to establish a caliphate in the country has killed more than 40,000 people and displaced around 2 million.

Amid the debate over the new rules, what is more important, the entertainment spectacle or driver satisfaction? And with changes being considered, what sort of things are likely to be changed? - Kevin and Tim For this answer, I have combined two separate questions that came in. I hope Kevin and Tim don't mind. F1 is a sport first and entertainment second. The hope is that it should be entertaining, and effort is made to make sure that's the case, but sport can't be entertaining all the time. You get 0-0 draws in football as much as 5-4 thrillers. Not all rugby matches are as compelling as that between France and England on Saturday evening. Most of the stakeholders in F1 recognise that as a truism. The new rules were not arrived at from an entertainment-first standpoint, at least not initially. The engine rules were changed to attract new manufacturers - successfully - and only afterwards was it realised that the chassis rules would be problematic. Primarily, issues revolve around the fact that with such powerful electrical systems, a nominal 50-50 split between internal combustion and electrical power, batteries of the current size, and front-axle recovery not allowed, the cars are energy starved. It's fair to say that many people in F1 recognise the chassis rules are a mish-mash of compromises arrived at as a sticking plaster for the engine rules, while at the same time trying to align a series of competing political positions. It's hardly a surprise that, in those circumstances, the rules are less than perfect, to say the least. The fundamentals of the rules won't change, but it's recognised that some areas can be tweaked to reduce some of the bigger compromises. It's clear from some remarks Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff made after the race in China that certain changes that have come with the new rules are considered welcome. "From an entertainment perspective, what we've seen today between Ferrari and Mercedes was good racing," Wolff said. "Many overtakes. We w...

Recently, Cisco Systems reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results that exceeded expectations, highlighted by subscription revenues reaching 51% of total sales and AI infrastructure orders from webscale customers surpassing US$2.10 billion, alongside a series of AI-focused product, security, and partnership announcements with NVIDIA and others. Together with Cisco’s role in the 400G Optical MSA and its expanded Secure AI Factory and AI Defense offerings, these developments underscore the company’s push to become a central provider of secure, AI-ready networking and infrastructure spanning data centers, edge environments, and enterprise AI agents. We’ll now explore how Cisco’s stronger-than-expected AI infrastructure orders and expanded NVIDIA collaboration may influence the existing investment narrative. We've uncovered the 15 dividend fortresses yielding 5%+ that don't just survive market storms, but thrive in them. Cisco Systems Investment Narrative Recap Cisco’s investment story today centers on its push to be a secure, AI-ready networking backbone across data centers, campus networks, and the edge. The latest quarter’s US$2.10 billion in AI infrastructure orders from webscale customers supports that narrative and reinforces the near term AI demand catalyst, but it also sharpens the existing risk around heavy dependence on a small group of large buyers whose spending can shift quickly. Among the recent announcements, the expansion of Cisco’s Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA looks most relevant, as it ties AI networking, security, and edge compute into one framework. This speaks directly to the company’s effort to grow higher margin, subscription based and software driven revenues while deepening its role in AI workloads across hospitals, factories, and other mission critical environments. Yet, against this AI momentum, investors still need to weigh how exposed Cisco is if hyperscale AI infrastructure orders were to soften unexpectedly... Read the full narrative on ...

Even the man who Mikel Arteta has described as his chief “chaos creator” almost found things a bit too much. Riccardo Calafiori was in the thick of the celebrations after Max Dowman’s historic late goal to clinch victory over Everton on Saturday as Arsenal’s players mobbed him by the corner flag at the Emirates after the six touches that changed the 16-year-old’s life forever. In all the excitement, Kai Havertz borrowed a pair of glasses from a more than willing supporter and waved them in the air before politely returning them in what Calafiori described as the best moment of Arsenal’s season so far. “We were all so happy. We ran towards him and the fans,” the Italy defender said. “It was almost a fight with the fans – in a nice way, obviously. It was amazing.” Calafiori had already played his part in the victory that took Arsenal nine points clear of Manchester City by producing an unbelievable acrobatic block to keep out a shot from Dwight McNeil. It left David Moyes in awe afterwards and the 23-year-old is convinced Arsenal are on course to make this a season to remember for more reasons than one. “I believe that with these small things, big things normally happen, something big is going to happen,” Calafiori said before the second leg of Arsenal’s Champions League last-16 tie against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday. For Arteta, who could not hide his emotions after Dowman’s goal and was still beaming at his pre-match press conference on Monday, the challenge is to harness all the positivity from the win for their next match. Leverkusen will be feeling quietly confident after drawing against the runaway Bundesliga leaders, Bayern Munich, at the weekend and beating Olympiakos away from home in the playoffs. Kasper Hjulmand’s side proved in the first leg last week that they are more than capable of causing Arsenal’s defence problems in open play and from set pieces. Yet with a formidable record of 13 wins from their 16 home games under Arteta in the Champions League a...

Insider Brief Quantum Machines has launched The Open Acceleration Stack, a framework that enables integration of classical processors including GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs into quantum control systems with microsecond-level latency for real-time quantum error correction and AI-native calibration. The platform uses Quantum Machines’ OPNIC network interface card and NVIDIA NVQLink to create ultra-low latency links between its Pulse Processing Unit and high-performance accelerators, with support for AMD CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, and Riverlane’s error correction systems. Quantum Machines will demonstrate fault-tolerant quantum phase estimation and real-time qubit calibration using the Open Acceleration Stack at the APS Global Physics Summit in Denver from March 15-20, 2026. PRESS RELEASE — Today Quantum Machines launches The Open Acceleration Stack, a first-of-its-kind framework allowing users to integrate any classical processor (XPU) into their quantum control stack. This novel architecture allows quantum computers not only to be Quantum Error Correction (QEC)-ready and AI-ready, but also QEC- and AI-native. The Open Acceleration Stack marks a significant expansion of Quantum Machines’ Orchestration Platform, the industry’s leading hardware and software framework for the control and operation of quantum processors. Using Quantum Machines’ OPNIC (OPX Network Interface Card) and NVIDIA NVQLink, the framework enables an ultra-low, microsecond-level latency link between its proprietary Pulse Processing Unit (PPU) and high-performance accelerators, including GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs and ASICs. Important computational tasks, such as decoding for real-time QEC and advanced AI-native QPU and circuit calibration, require a variety of processors and accelerators to work in harmony and communicate with low latency, high bandwidth and synchronization with the PPU, which runs the quantum program. Quantum Machines’ Open Acceleration Stack enables this hybridization, allowing users to develop an...

The next round of the Formula One world championship in Japan will be the home race for the Aston Martin team’s engine manufacturer, Honda, at the Suzuka circuit. A celebratory affair, however, is not expected amid painful days for Honda, whose return to F1 has been marked by a failure to make the grade. Their engine’s shortcomings were exposed for the second successive race at the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday. Fernando Alonso retired after 32 laps because the vibration from the engine was so severe he was losing feeling in his hands and feet. Hit teammate Lance Stroll had retired after 10 laps with a battery issue, an element of the hybrid engine that has plagued the manufacturer from day one. The Spaniard was bluntly phlegmatic, if more diplomatic than he was when last he toiled with an underperforming Honda engine at McLaren between 2015 and 2017. “On lap 20 to 35 I was struggling a bit to feel my hands and my feet,” he said. “We were one lap behind, we were last, and there was probably no point to keep going.” When asked about Japan, Stroll was simply dismissive of their chances. “Unless they can find some magic in the next 10 days, pray. Pray for me,” he said. Aston Martin were late to the first test and from then on completed precious few laps. The reason became clear only on the Thursday before the first race in Australia. There the team principal and car designer, Adrian Newey, admitted their Honda engine had such a severe vibration problem which was transferred into the chassis that he feared his drivers were in danger of suffering permanent nerve damage. In China that fear was clearly real for Alonso. The team are working as hard as any other, their commitment and ambition cannot be questioned but for now the tools are not there. Their pre-season running it transpired, had been so curtailed because the drivers as much as anything else, simply could not put in the laps. Worse still the engine, when it did run, was underpowered and unreliable. In Australia...
It is just as well Robert MacIntyre cares little for publicity. He also does a fine line in self‑deprecation.

It is just as well Robert MacIntyre cares little for publicity. He also does a fine line in self‑deprecation. When asked to compare his approach with Matt Fitzpatrick, his Ryder Cup teammate, MacIntyre smiles. “I’m less analytical,” the Scot says. “I’m not the brightest guy but I know how to play golf, just shape balls.” There is no doubt about that. MacIntyre’s tilt at the Players Championship provided the latest evidence that he is one of the UK’s most unheralded, elite sportsmen. The 29-year-old has long since evolved from the shinty-loving, unassuming boy from Oban to a golfer who feels perfectly at home on the biggest stages. Next up, perhaps the grandest of all: the Masters. “This is what I want to do now,” MacIntyre says. “Yes, winning the Players would have been brilliant. I won the Scottish Open, which was my main goal in life apart from a major. Now, for me, it is about winning majors. With the way I am playing, the consistency and the level I know I can play at … I don’t see why not. It actually gives me goosebumps here thinking that I know I have a chance when I pitch up at any of them.” Second at the US Open last year is proof of that. It was a shock to most observers that MacIntyre survived for only 36 holes of Augusta National in 2025. Since then, he has not missed a cut. Given his own lofty standards, last year in Georgia stung. “That was a sore one,” MacIntyre says. “I don’t like making excuses but there were things going on that sort of dragged us down. Billy Horschel struggled as well. We were in the same group as poor Nick Dunlap, who was struggling off the tee, which was a shame. I am looking forward to going back.” Because MacIntyre is too kind to say it, Dunlap shot 90 in the first round. Horschel completed the three‑ball exit at halfway. MacIntyre’s Players quest was alive and kicking until the 16th hole of round four. A second shot pushed into rough, his third flew across the putting surface and into water. “I had a chance to win the Players...

“I hated it,” Tony Powell says on a spring afternoon in Los Angeles of his past as a secretly gay professional footballer for Bournemouth and Norwich in the 1970s. Powell is 78 and now lives in a very different world compared with when he was a husband, the father of two young daughters and Norwich’s player of the season in 1979. Powell is not a demonstrative man and, having been forced to bury his true self for decades, does not make a fuss about the pain he endured. But there is an ache in his English accent, which remains intact after 45 years in America. “I just wanted to be who I am, but at that time it was not a good idea to come out.” Powell and I are joined by Robbie Rogers, the former USA international who played briefly for Leeds and Stevenage in 2012‑13. Rogers is 40 years younger than Powell but, as a gay man and former professional footballer, he understands such hurt with bruising clarity. Thirteen years ago this month, Rogers and I conducted his first newspaper interview after he had come out in a social media post a few weeks earlier. Rogers looks at Powell and says: “I kept it completely secret. I was so afraid it would get out and I’d have no control and people would be whispering in the locker room. I wanted to come out and tell a really intimate secret to my family and the people I loved first and not for it to be in the news.” Powell and Rogers belong to a very small group of male footballers who have played professionally in England and had the courage to come out as gay. Justin Fashanu was the first to do so, in 1990 and he was one of Powell’s teammates at Norwich between 1978 and 1981. Powell, a central defender, played 275 games for Norwich while Fashanu made 103 appearances for the club and scored 40 goals. He says Fashanu was “a very good footballer and a really nice guy”.

Key Points Home Depot is an excellent stock to profit off a housing recovery. TJX has one of the most resilient business models in the retail sector. 10 stocks we like better than Home Depot › Retail stocks have lagged the broader market for most of the past decade. High inflation in recent years has certainly not helped consumers build the confidence to open their wallets. The upside is that when the economy finds firmer footing, the strongest retailers are often the first to show it in stronger sales. With uncertainty still in the mix, investors should stick with retailers that have proven they can hold up through just about any environment. Two that have been doing exactly that are Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and The TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX). 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 » Here's why these are the two retail stocks I'd consider buying right now. Home Depot Home Depot is the first retail stock to consider buying. It's a solid way to position for a housing-market recovery, after weak growth over the past few years was weighed down by high inflation and interest rates. Even in a challenging backdrop, Home Depot has performed well. The stock is up 18% over the past three years, while the company's trailing-12-month revenue has climbed to more than $164 billion. That leaves plenty of long-term upside, as management estimates its addressable market to top $1 trillion. Its comparable sales in the fourth quarter grew 0.4% year over year -- a solid result in a weak housing market. Home Depot is not only the leading home improvement retailer, but also one of the largest consumer discretionary companies by market cap, according to research from The Motley Fool. Its supply chain and distribution network are major advantages, and its e-commerce business continues to grow. It recently partnered w...

Good morning . Iran strikes hit energy supplies. Donald Trump asks to delay his meeting with Xi Jinping. And support is still strong to keep Switzerland’s population capped. Listen to the day’s top stories . — Teo Chian Wei Iran stepped up attacks on energy infrastructure , with operations suspended at the Shah natural gas field in the UAE due to a fire while a drone attack temporarily shut the Fujairah port. An Iraqi oil field and key Emirati port were also targeted. Donald Trump threatened to expand strikes on Kharg Island to target oil infrastructure. Brent crude rose above $100 . Check out our Markets Today live blog for all the latest news and analysis relevant to UK assets. Trump said he asked Beijing to delay his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping for about a month, saying it was important for him to remain in Washington to oversee the Iran war. The US president has long used last-minute switches on foreign travel and meetings with heads of state to gain a diplomatic upper hand and keep foreign partners on their toes. Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said NATO allies have to take Trump at his word when he puts the future of the alliance on the line to safeguard passage through the Strait of Hormuz. “Those countries that have the capacity and the will to help the US will do that, and should do that,” Stubb told Bloomberg TV. Finland’s Stubb Says NATO Should Take Trump Seriously Watch the interview The International Monetary Fund raised concern about Ukraine’s ability to continue receiving aid from its $8.1 billion package as lawmakers stall on measures needed to release the financing, its representative said. The Ukrainian parliament has until the end of March to pass unpopular tax-raising amendments needed to unlock the rest of the funding . A plan by Switzerland’s right-wing People’s Party to cap the country’s population at 10 million still has strong support from the public ahead of a June vote.

Building physical AI at scale means operating across three distinct environments — large-scale GPU training, simulation testing, and edge deployment — each with its own infrastructure and tooling. Engineering teams routinely spend 30–40% of their time on integration work rather than improving robot behaviour. "Physical AI is the next phase of computing — where intelligence is trained, tested and validated in simulation before it operates in the real world," said Rev Lebaredian, VP of Omniverse and simulation technologies at NVIDIA . "That demands tightly integrated systems connecting large-scale AI training with physically accurate simulation to create a continuous data flywheel. By integrating the NVIDIA Physical AI Data Factory Blueprint, Nebius is enabling developers to generate physics-grounded synthetic data and build safe, robust autonomous machines at scale." "Physical AI is going to be one of the defining technology shifts of this decade, and the teams building it today are being held back by infrastructure and tooling that was never designed for those workloads," said Evan Helda, Head of Physical AI at Nebius . "Working with NVIDIA, we are building the execution layer for the entire physical AI ecosystem — so that any team, anywhere, can go from idea to deployed robot at the speed the market demands." Combining Nebius’s global AI cloud infrastructure with the NVIDIA Physical AI Data Factory Blueprint , an open reference architecture for massive data generation and evaluation, Nebius will provide robotics developers and enterprises an agent-driven environment that addresses the two fundamental barriers to physical AI at scale: infrastructure and tooling fragmentation, and the lack of high-quality training data for rare, unpredictable scenarios that determine real-world success. AMSTERDAM, March 17, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS), the AI cloud company, today announced it is collaborating with NVIDIA to accelerate physical AI development with ...
