Meta will soon alert parents when teenagers repeatedly search for suicide or self-harm terms on Instagram. The company will trigger notifications when it detects concentrated search activity within a short timeframe. Meta embeds the system into its Teen Account supervision tools. The decision represents a significant escalation in the platform’s safety strategy. Previously, Instagram blocked harmful keywords and redirected users to professional support services. Meta now adds direct parental notifications to that framework. Families enrolled in Teen Accounts in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada will receive alerts starting next week. The company intends to expand the rollout to additional…

Aston Martin will cut up to 20% of its workforce in a bid to save about £40m. The move could affect around 500 employees. The luxury carmaker confirmed the plan after reporting deeper pre-tax losses for 2025. Losses rose to £363.9m from £289.1m the previous year.

A Renewed Push for European Deterrence President Emmanuel Macron is expected to outline how France can contribute more directly to Europe’s nuclear security in a major speech on Monday. Delivering his address from the Île Longue peninsula — home to France’s fleet of nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines — Macron will revisit his earlier proposal to extend France’s nuclear deterrence dialogue to European partners. Back in 2020, his suggestion that European allies could be more closely involved in France’s nuclear framework drew little response. Today, however, the geopolitical climate has shifted dramatically, and interest across European capitals appears to be growing.…

Tensions Flare Over UN Maritime Submission A fresh dispute has erupted between Kuwait and Iraq after Baghdad submitted updated maritime coordinates and a map to the United Nations, claiming areas that Kuwait considers its own. Kuwaiti officials say the submission encroaches on waters around the Fasht al-Qaid and Fasht al-Aij shoals, reigniting long-standing tensions in the strategically important northern Gulf, where shipping lanes and offshore resources make borders highly sensitive. Regional Support and Calls for Dialogue Several Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman, have expressed strong support for Kuwait and urged both sides…

US President Donald Trump has introduced a new global tariff set at ten percent. The tariff took effect 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. Legal Route and Rising 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 after a series of controversies and regulatory concerns. Several top-flight teams, including Everton, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently display brands linked to online casinos or bookmakers without a British licence. Clubs have already agreed to remove all gambling sponsors from the front of shirts after this season. The voluntary ban will not cover sleeves or other commercial partnerships. This gap allows overseas operators to keep using Premier League exposure if they avoid British customers. The government now wants to…

Supreme Court Ruling Shakes Foundations of Deal European Parliament negotiators have suspended progress on the EU-US trade agreement after a US Supreme Court ruling cast doubt on key elements of the 2025 pact. The court found that some tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump were illegal, arguing he had exceeded his authority by acting without Congressional approval under emergency powers. In response, Trump announced fresh 15% duties on imports, further complicating the future of the agreement. German MEP Bernd Lange, who chairs Parliament’s trade committee, said the legal landscape had “totally changed,” making it impossible to move forward without clear…
