Meta will introduce a system on Instagram that alerts parents when teenagers repeatedly search for suicide or self-harm content. The alerts activate after multiple searches in a short period. Meta links the feature to its Teen Account supervision tools. The company says the measure strengthens protections for young users online. Previously, Instagram blocked dangerous search terms and directed teens to external support. Meta now adds direct notifications to parents to provide families with more oversight. Teen Accounts in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada will start receiving alerts next week. The company plans to expand the system to other countries…
Actor’s Sharp Criticism Sparks Presidential Fury Tensions escalated following the State of the Union address as President Donald Trump lashed out at several of his critics, including Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro. De Niro, a long-time opponent of Trump, had appeared on MS NOW ahead of the speech, warning that the president “will never leave” office voluntarily and urging Americans to “make him leave.” He also spoke at a counter-event titled State of the Swamp at the National Press Club, where he said he felt “betrayed” by the direction of the country and accused current leadership of abandoning core democratic…

Aston Martin will cut up to 20% of its workforce as it tries to save about £40m. The move could affect around 500 employees. The luxury carmaker announced the plan after reporting pre-tax losses of £363.9m for 2025. Losses had already reached £289.1m the previous year. The company had also removed 170 roles at the start of 2025. The firm said it had to make difficult decisions to prepare for future plans. Chief executive Adrian Hallmark called the cuts an important step toward a leaner business. He said the programme would not solve every structural issue. Aston Martin blamed US…
Renewed Focus on European Deterrence President Emmanuel Macron is set to outline how France could contribute more directly to Europe’s nuclear deterrence, insisting that any expanded role would complement — not compete with — the security umbrella provided by the United States. Speaking from the Île Longue peninsula, home to France’s fleet of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, Macron will revisit a proposal he first raised in 2020. At the time, his offer to involve European partners in France’s nuclear doctrine and exercises attracted little attention. Today, however, the geopolitical climate has shifted dramatically. A Changing Security Landscape Europe is reassessing…
Paramount Skydance has increased its bid to acquire Warner Bros Discovery and aims to push Netflix out of the takeover race. The enhanced offer could determine control of one of Hollywood’s biggest media companies. Warner Bros said Paramount agreed to raise its offer by one dollar per share. The board said the proposal could reasonably lead to a superior deal. Warner Bros will hold further talks before deciding whether to abandon the deal it signed with Netflix in December. Netflix has four days to submit a counter-offer and did not comment immediately. Netflix Remains Cautious and Avoids Bidding War In…
UN Submission Triggers Fresh Dispute A new maritime filing by Iraq to the United Nations has reignited a long-running sea border disagreement with Kuwait, drawing swift backing for Kuwait from across the Gulf. Baghdad submitted updated coordinates and a map outlining its claimed boundaries, but Kuwaiti officials argue the move overlaps with waters they consider sovereign territory, including the Fasht al-Qaid and Fasht al-Aij shoals. The northern Gulf remains a strategically sensitive area, not only for shipping lanes but also for offshore resources, making any shift in maritime claims highly consequential. Regional Support and Iraq’s Response Several Gulf states quickly…
US President Donald Trump has introduced a new global tariff set at ten percent. The tariff came into force after the Supreme Court blocked many of his earlier import taxes on Friday. Trump signed an executive order just hours after the ruling to impose the levy from 24 February. He later threatened to raise the tariff to fifteen percent but has not issued an official directive to increase the rate. The White House has not confirmed whether the higher rate will take effect. Emergency Powers and Market Uncertainty The administration applies the levy under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade…
Unlicensed gambling companies could lose the right to sponsor Premier League clubs under new government plans. Ministers have opened a consultation on a full ban after several high-profile controversies. Some top-flight teams, including Everton, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently display brands linked to offshore casinos or bookmakers. These firms do not hold a British licence. Clubs have already agreed to remove all gambling logos from the front of shirts after this season. The voluntary ban does not cover sleeves or other commercial deals. That gap still allows unlicensed operators to partner with clubs if they avoid UK customers. The government…
Supreme Court Ruling Throws Deal Into Doubt European Parliament negotiators have suspended progress on the EU-US trade agreement after a US Supreme Court ruling cast uncertainty over key parts of the 2025 deal. The court found that several tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump were unlawful, arguing he had exceeded his authority by introducing them without Congressional approval under emergency powers legislation. In response, Trump announced new 15% duties on imports, further complicating the agreement’s legal footing and prompting alarm in Brussels. MEPs Demand Clarity from Washington German MEP Bernd Lange, who chairs the European Parliament’s trade committee, said the…
