RFU council approves change from 2026-27 season ‘The professional game must evolve if it is to thrive’ Promotion and relegation from rugby’s top flight is to be scrapped as part of a major restructure at the top of English club rugby after the Rugby Football Union council “overwhelmingly” voted to approve a move to a franchise model. From next season’s 2026-27 campaign, automatic promotion and relegation between the Prem and Championship will be replaced by a criteria-based expansion and demotion model with 12 teams planned to be in the division from the 2029-30 season.

The supreme court has deferred to executive power for decades.

The supreme court has deferred to executive power for decades. Its decision on tariffs is a long-overdue warning After two decades of deferring to executive authority and eroding anti-bribery laws, the supreme court has suddenly limited presidential power in a way that could make one ugly form of political influence a bit more difficult to pull off. Last week’s ruling did not merely strip one president of his executive power to unilaterally impose levies across broad swaths of the economy – it makes it harder for any president to transform tariffs from a broad economic policy into a personal political cudgel that muzzles criticism and enforces fealty. “A Supreme Court otherwise inclined to endlessly expand Trump’s authority just restricted his go-to tool, ruling that U.S. presidents do not have the power to unilaterally deploy tariffs and dole out punishment and favor to specific companies and economic sectors, friends and family, and entire countries,” said Lori Wallach of Rethink Trade . The Washington Post reported that Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, dumped $1m into Trump’s inauguration, cultivated relationships with Trump officials, and “refrained from publicly criticizing the president or his policies on national television” – just before securing tariff exemptions for his company’s products. ProPublica reported that the administration approved a tariff exemption for a thermoplastic made by a company “owned by a pair of brothers who have donated millions of dollars to Republican causes”. A tariff exemption for electronics conveniently benefited Tesla and, by extension, its CEO, Elon Musk , who bankrolled a multimillion-dollar campaign to re-elect Trump. The sugar behemoth Florida Crystals, which has lobbied on tariff policy , gave $2 m to the main pro-Trump Super Pac, Maga Inc, ahead of Trump slapping tariffs on imported sugar. Reynolds American likewise delivered $2m to the same Super Pac while successfully pushing Trump to crack down on imports of Chinese tobacco pro...

A growing number of parents are letting their young children train with weights. But is it a good – or safe – idea? We ask the experts to weigh in Most parents remember the first time their baby smiled or when they took their first steps. Eve Stevenson recalls different milestones. “Watching my daughter, Madison, deadlift 35kg at the age of six was pretty cool,” she says, grinning with pride from her living room in south-west London. As a personal trainer (PT) and former British weightlifting champion, her daughter’s achievements shouldn’t really be that surprising. Still, Stevenson has been on the receiving end of some harsh opinions about her daughter and three-year-old son, Beau, doing resistance training with her. “People tell me it will stunt their growth or that it’s dangerous,” she says. She is also often accused of forcing her children to train, when actually it all started the other way round. “What child doesn’t look at their parents and want to do what they’re doing?” she asks. And although to many people the idea of a small child strength training or competing might feel jarring, Stevenson is among a growing number of parents who see value in helping their children build muscles.

To get Industrial Strength delivered directly to your inbox, sign up here . The longest stretch of weak US industrial demand on record is finally showing signs of ending, but fresh tumult in President Donald Trump’s global trade war threatens to paralyze corporate decision-making yet again. When US manufacturing activity expanded in January, it was just the third time that had happened in more than three years as manufacturers struggled through an inventory hangover spurred by the pandemic supply-chain roller coaster and the fallout from higher interest rates and inflation. The previous two positive readings came in early 2025 but the nascent recovery was handicapped by Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement of sweeping tariffs on every major US trading partner. The economy feels “eerily similar” to the cautious optimism of early last year — before tariffs “upset the apple cart,” Dover Corp. Chief Executive Officer Rich Tobin said at a Barclays Plc conference last week. “We lost, basically February to September last year with everybody dealing with, not only the absolute economic impact from the tariffs but the fear of the long tail of the tariffs.” There are now tangible signs of demand through rebounding order rates, he said. Dover, which makes aluminum can manufacturing equipment, gas station fuel pumps and industrial winches, notched its fastest organic sales growth since 2022 in the fourth quarter.

They left unanswered the question of refunds for the as much as $170 billion companies have paid out on tariffs implemented through those powers, leaving what is expected to be an extremely messy and complicated battle for a lower court to adjudicate .

Financial advisers have a suggestion for retail investors feeling rattled by all the doomsaying around artificial intelligence and its disruptive potential for stocks: diversify. This week drove home how sensitive investors are to the AI scare trade, after a piece of speculative fiction from US research firm Citrini Research posited a frighteningly bearish scenario involving AI agents triggering mass unemployment and an economic death spiral. The S&P 500 Index slid 1% on Monday in its wake, and some companies cited in the report sank even more. The tumble signaled that sentiment toward the American equities benchmark, whose biggest members have a heavy AI exposure, has grown increasingly shaky, as questions mount around the outlook for the tech behemoths that have powered the market higher for years. The Citrini post drew criticism from major financial institutions. But individual investors can be forgiven for wondering if they should lighten up on shares that are getting roiled by the AI angst, or even shrink their stock holdings altogether. Below is how several advisers say clients can protect themselves from such turbulence. In a nutshell, they say, investors can look outside the US, or beyond the big tech stocks that have been leading the market, or to the traditional haven of fixed income. Rest of the World For most of the past two decades, US stocks, and the biggest, most innovative tech companies in particular, have led global markets. Since the start of 2010, the S&P 500 is up more than 700% when including dividends, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has returned almost 1,500%. By contrast, the rest of the world — as measured by the MSCI World ex-US Index — has gained about 240%. For some investors, the time may be right for some geographical diversification. That’s especially the case with the dollar sinking over the past year, which boosts returns on overseas markets for US investors. There are already signs that other markets are catching up. To start the y...
