The Guardian’s community affairs correspondent, Chris Osuh , reports on the plot by two IS terrorists to massacre Jews in Manchester, and how it was thwarted by an undercover sting Walid Saadaoui had once worked as a holiday entertainer, organising dance shows and quizzes at a resort in his native Tunisia. After moving to the UK and marrying a British woman, he became a restaurateur and an avid keeper of birds. All the while, however – as the Guardian’s community affairs correspondent, Chris Osuh , explains – he was hiding a secret: he had pledged allegiance to Islamic State. Continue reading...

Bonilla1879/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I’m an Uber Bull, For Now I Believe DoorDash Is Better I had a bit of an epiphany this week, watching Uber Technologies ( UBER ) break under 70 again. I was disappointed that the stock could not hold the upper 70s at least. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that UBER is under the same pressure as every other tech and tech-adjacent category of stocks, either that might be overtaken by Gen AI directly, or reduced subscription fees, or some new start-up challenger will come along and build a super cheap replacement using “Vibe-Coding.” I am sticking with UBER because it is the premier platform for ride-hailing. People will still need the super convenient App and Platform for travel. Uber is investing in self-driving tech right now, and many, if not all, of the Robotaxi fleets that pop up will have an easier time getting fares using the Uber App as their storefront. I am staying in UBER for the long haul. As I was saying this week, while my discomfort over UBER was still fresh, I was scanning through my stock lists when my eye rested upon the DoorDash ( DASH ) symbol. I have been an admirer of the founder of DASH since I watched a video interview of him about a year ago. DASH was now trading at 175! I distinctly remembered DASH being over 250, which wouldn’t deter me, but I don’t like buying a stock at the 52-WH. At this time, while thinking it over, DASH fell to about 170 and had broken that support level. Causing me to hesitate a bit more. The stock landed on 160, which matches the level it fell to reach the April 2025 – “Liberation Day” chaos. I started a position at 160, realising that I made this decision purely on price action and charting, I realized that I had some work to do. Serendipity started me on the road of comparing UBER to DASH. Both seem to be competing strongly with each other. This is something that might be quite obvious, but I have considered the UBER app for ride-hailing, and DASH is for food delivery. ...
