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…

The state of Illinois and the city of Chicago have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration’s plan to deploy National Guard troops locally. The legal action comes shortly after a federal judge in Oregon temporarily halted a similar deployment in Portland, raising questions about the limits of federal authority over state-controlled forces. Legal Arguments Against Federal Action Attorney General Kwame Raoul and Chicago officials argue that federalizing the National Guard for domestic law enforcement violates both the Posse Comitatus Act and the Tenth Amendment. They contend that using military personnel to enforce local laws constitutes an…
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.
The United States has led the global technology market for decades. Now China is determined to challenge that dominance. The world’s second-largest economy is investing billions in artificial intelligence and robotics. Its primary goal is to develop high-end chips that can rival the world’s most advanced technology. Last month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that China was only “nanoseconds behind” the U.S. in chip development. Beijing is pushing hard to close the gap and reduce reliance on imported technology. DeepSeek Signals China’s AI Rise In 2024, the Chinese startup DeepSeek surprised the tech world by launching a competitor to OpenAI’s…

Judge Halts Oregon TroopsEarlier, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued a temporary restraining order preventing 200 Oregon Guard members from being deployed to Portland. The order, in effect until at least October 18, highlighted constitutional concerns…

A global plan to nourish people and the planet By 2050, everyone could have access to nutritious, culturally appropriate food while reducing environmental damage. The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets From Sustainable Food Systems proposes the “planetary health diet” as a solution. The report finds that combining this diet with sustainable farming and reduced food waste could feed 9.6 billion people equitably. Experts from more than 35 countries contributed, showing that global food-related greenhouse gas emissions could drop by over half if nations take coordinated action. Currently, about 30% of emissions come from producing, processing, and transporting food, while…
George Russell produced a stunning lap to claim pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix, strengthening his case for a new Mercedes contract and outpacing both Max Verstappen and McLaren’s title contenders. Russell was almost two-tenths clear of Verstappen at Marina Bay, a remarkable margin on the tight street circuit, but the reigning champion was left frustrated, insisting his final lap was ruined by Lando Norris. Verstappen complained he lost downforce in the closing corners after catching the McLaren driver on an in-lap, later saying the moment “will be remembered”. Norris dismissed the accusation, countering: “They always complain, they complain…
