President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese goods starting 1 November — or sooner — accusing Beijing of “very hostile” actions after it tightened controls on rare-earth exports. The move reignited fears of a renewed trade war between the world’s two largest economies, sending US markets tumbling. The S&P 500 fell 2.7%, the Dow dropped 1.9%, and tech stocks were hit hardest, with Nvidia down nearly 5%. “Perhaps the time has come,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, calling the tariffs “painful but good for the U.S.A.” He added that Washington would also introduce export controls on…
Researchers say they’ve developed the first reliable blood test to diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The test, created by scientists at the University of East Anglia and Oxford Biodynamics, identifies unique DNA-folding patterns in blood. It correctly detected ME/CFS in 92% of cases and ruled it out in 98%, according to results published in the Journal of Translational Medicine. “This could transform how we diagnose and manage this complex disease,” said lead researcher Prof Dmitry Pshezhetskiy. Currently, ME/CFS is diagnosed only by symptoms, often leaving patients undiagnosed for years. Experts welcomed the advance but urged caution. “These…
The U.S. government has implemented a new $100,000 fee for skilled foreign worker visas. This move is set to affect international workers seeking employment in the country and reshape the labor market. Under the new policy, companies hiring skilled workers from abroad must pay the hefty fee for each visa. Officials say the measure aims to prioritize high-income talent and reduce reliance on foreign labor for mid-level positions. Experts warn this change may slow the entry of skilled workers. Many foreign professionals may now consider other countries with lower visa costs or more welcoming immigration policies. Businesses, especially in tech…
New research shows 90% of marine fish sold by major US retailers come directly from the wild. The study, led by Dr Bing Lin from the University of Sydney, found most species were caught in the western Pacific and Indian oceans. Globally, around 55 million marine animals are sold each year in an aquarium trade worth more than US$2bn. Fish such as the Banggai cardinalfish and clarion angelfish—both threatened—are still appearing in online listings. “The trade is opaque all along the supply chain, from reef to retail,” said Lin. Many endangered species slip through Cites protections and reach consumers without…

The European Union has unveiled the InvestAI data center initiative, a major project set to transform the continent’s artificial intelligence capabilities. The program involves an investment of €200 billion to build large-scale AI data centers across Europe.

The InvestAI initiative will focus on constructing high-performance data centers capable of handling massive AI workloads. These centers will provide the infrastructure needed for research, development, and deployment of AI technologies in sectors such as healthcare, energy, finance, and transportation. European leaders highlighted the importance of investing…
A German-Israeli rabbi claims to hold evidence of Nazi-era Swiss bank accounts that have remained hidden for nearly a century. His quest to uncover them is reigniting moral and political debate over Swiss secrecy, Holocaust restitution, and the unhealed wounds of history. A Rabbi’s Unlikely Calling At 72, Rabbi Ephraim Meir seems an unlikely figure to challenge Europe’s oldest banks. With his calm demeanor and quiet scholarly presence, he appears more suited to teaching Torah than tracing wartime fortunes. Yet within his scuffed leather briefcase, he says, lie the keys to one of the last unresolved financial mysteries of the…
Jaguar Land Rover has begun a phased restart of its factories, more than a month after a crippling cyber-attack halted production. The company said the hack on 31 August forced global shutdowns, leading to a 17% drop in sales last quarter. Production resumed Wednesday across West Midlands sites, including Wolverhampton, Solihull, Halewood, and Hams Hall. Plants in Slovakia and other UK locations will follow soon as JLR gradually restores full operations. “We know there’s more to do, but recovery is under way,” said CEO Adrian Mardell. JLR also launched a new financing scheme to pay suppliers early and ease cashflow…
Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine. They were awarded for uncovering how the immune system avoids attacking the body — a process called peripheral immune tolerance. Sakaguchi discovered regulatory T-cells, or T-reg cells, which act as “the brakes of the immune system.” Brunkow and Ramsdell identified the FoxP3 gene, vital for T-reg development. Mutations cause severe autoimmune diseases. Their findings transformed immunology and inspired new treatments for autoimmune disorders, transplants, and cancer. “This prize was long overdue,” said Prof Adrian Hayday.
