Peter Dutton demands inquiry into when Anthony Albanese was briefed about Dural caravan plot Peter Dutton demands inquiry into when Anthony Albanese was briefed about Dural caravan plot Peter Dutton has called for an independent inquiry to probe why Anthony Albanese was kept out of the loop about a potential anti-Semitic “mass casualty” terror plot. The Prime Minister has repeatedly refused to reveal when he was made aware of the discovery of an explosives-laden caravan in Dural seemingly bound for significant Sydney Jewish sites. Police were made aware of the suspected terror plot on January 19, briefed NSW Premier Chris Minns on January 20 — nine days before the story broke on January 29. Conflicting reports suggest Mr Albanese was either only briefed a few days before the discovery became public, or on the day the story broke. After using all of their questions during Question Time on Wednesday to press the PM to provide details, the Opposition Leader has now written to Mr Albanese to request an inquiry into the circumstances around when he was briefed. Mr Dutton said “an eminent *********** from the criminal intelligence and law enforcement community” should lead the inquiry and said the findings to be made public. “I have written to the Prime Minister today asking for an independent inquiry in relation to the fact that the Prime Minister of our country wasn’t notified for nine days, 10 days of what was believed to be the biggest planned terrorist attack in our country’s history,” he said. “And it is inconceivable that the Prime Minister didn’t know about it.” Mr Dutton has suggested Mr Albanese was not briefed earlier by police or intelligence agencies because they feared the PM or his office would “leak information”. Asked for evidence to support his claim, he said he would not comment on “discussions I’ve had with individuals” in agencies, but that there was “nothing else that adds up”. Mr Dutton, pressed on whether the AFP had questions to answer on the timeline, said he didn’t think there had been a “breakdown” in that process. “The NSW police have either made a deliberate decision not to advise the Commonwealth so that the Prime Minister wasn’t advised because they are worried he would leak the information … Beyond that there is no other reasonable explanation,” he said. He said the inquiry would not distract resources and rejected the suggestion his demand was politically motivated. Earlier on breakfast television, Mr Albanese had queried whether such an inquiry was a “sensible use of resources”. “What’s important is tracking down the perpetrators of these crimes. It is, I find it, frankly, absurd that people think, for example, that resources should be diverted, that the AFP and intelligence agencies should be engaged in a political process rather than doing their job,” he said. “And you know what my job is? It’s really simple. It’s to back our authorities to do their job. And that’s what I do.” Source link #Peter #Dutton #demands #inquiry #Anthony #Albanese #briefed #Dural #caravan #plot Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Dog leaves man in ICU after violent attack in Panama City Beach Dog leaves man in ICU after violent attack in Panama City Beach PANAMA CITY BEACH — A man was taken to the hospital after being attacked by a neighbor’s dog Tuesday, according to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies responded to a life-threatening medical call at 8115 Laird St. about 5 p.m. When they arrived, they found Michael Fabjon Jr., 49, lying on the ground covered in blood. Pamela Dennis, 56, was performing CPR on him. A deputy assessed Fabjon and began providing life-saving measures including CPR. Emergency medical services arrived and Fabjon was taken to the hospital for his injuries. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Dennis told deputies that Fabjon’s dog got into a fight with the neighbor’s dog, a pit bull named Gunner. Dennis and Fabjon were able to break up the fight, but Gunner ran away. Shortly after, Gunner returned and began to attack Fabjon, Dennis said. Gunner took Fabjon to the ground and then began biting Fabjon’s neck while violently shaking his head. A neighbor, Carrie Swisher, 44, went outside and called Gunner back into her house. The Sheriff’s Office said that when a deputy went with Animal Control to retrieve the dog, Brendan Murphy, 28, Gunner’s owner, barricaded himself inside and wouldn’t allow them to take the dog. Murphy was placed under arrest on charges of resisting without violence and obstruction. He was taken to the Bay County Jail without incident. According to a deputy’s report, Murphy claimed that after the fight, Gunner returned home and didn’t go back. Murphy claimed that Fabjon’s own dog attacked him and that the dogs have a history of fighting. The blood on Gunner was more consistent with the attack than the blood that was on the other dog, and witnesses also said it was Gunner, according to BCSO. In a phone interview with the News Herald, the BCSO clarified that Murphy and Fabjon live in separate structures on the same property with their dogs. As to why Gunner might have attacked Fabjon, the Sheriff’s Office said the man was in the process of putting his dog up when Gunner returned after the fight. BCSO said that Fabjon was in the intensive care unit on Wednesday with injuries to his throat and the back of his neck from the attack.

Strategy reports fourth straight quarterly loss, deepens bitcoin focus with rebranding Strategy reports fourth straight quarterly loss, deepens bitcoin focus with rebranding By Arasu Kannagi Basil and Niket Nishant (Reuters) -Strategy, the biggest corporate holder of bitcoin, reported a fourth consecutive quarterly loss on Wednesday as the company booked an impairment charge on its stockpile of the cryptocurrency. The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company booked impairment losses from digital assets of $1.01 billion in the quarter, compared with $39.2 million a year ago. Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy and founded by Michael Saylor, has emerged as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the soaring popularity of bitcoin. Its shares jumped nearly five-fold last year, helping it secure a spot in the Nasdaq 100 index in December. The company began buying bitcoin in 2020 as revenue from its software business waned. Last year, Strategy unveiled plans to raise $42 billion over the next three years to buy more bitcoins. Strategy has completed $20 billion of the capital plan and held about 471,107 bitcoins with a market value of $46 billion as of Feb. 2. The company bought 218,887 bitcoins for $20.5 billion in the quarter, marking Strategy’s largest ever increase in quarterly bitcoins holdings. Strategy is shifting its focus more to fixed-income issuance this year, including convertible bonds and preferred stock, CEO Phong Le said on a post-earnings call. The company’s net loss was $670.8 million, or $3.03 per share, in the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with a profit of $89.1 million, or 50 cents per share, a year earlier. Strategy will also move to a new accounting rule in the first quarter, allowing it to measure the fair value of its bitcoin holdings. Chief Financial Officer Andrew Kang said the fourth quarter will be the last when it recognizes an impairment charge on its bitcoin holdings. NEW NAME The company earlier in the day said it would now operate as “Strategy” and unveiled a new logo to emphasize its commitment to the cryptocurrency space. The rebranding was “a natural evolution” as it seeks to integrate bitcoin — the world’s biggest and best-known cryptocurrency — into the heart of its business operations, the company said. Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani said the company probably wanted to emphasize bitcoin as its core business and to distance away from the software arm, which is no longer material. The company continues to be an aggressive investor in bitcoin. In the statement on Wednesday announcing its rebranding, MicroStrategy defined itself as the world’s “first and largest Bitcoin Treasury Company”. Its new logo includes a stylized “B” that signifies its bitcoin strategy, it said.

Families search for missing children of Turkey’s earthquake Families search for missing children of Turkey’s earthquake Berza Simsek BBC News Turkish BBC The families of Emir Gultekin (L), Asel Kilic and Sercan Hasan Kosar (R) have been searching for their children for two years Four-year-old Emir was at home with his family when two devastating earthquakes hit southern Turkey on 6 February 2023, claiming the lives of more than 53,500 people. The bodies of his mother, father and 10-year-old brother were found in the wreckage of their apartment block in Antakya, a city on the Syrian border. But there was no trace of him. Two years on, Emir is still missing. Dozens of families continue to search for their loved ones and at least 30 of the missing are children. Emir’s aunt Nursen Kisa arrived at the collapsed building in Antakya an hour after the earthquake and waited beside the debris for over two weeks while search and rescue operations continued. “We thought we could find him, or at least a piece of his clothing, some remains, some sort of a trace. But there were none. Neither in the debris nor among the bodies,” she said. Emir (R) was making a snowman at home with his older brother Ege the day before the earthquake Since then, she has been on a mission to find her missing nephew. She filed a missing person’s claim at the police station, only for the authorities to call three months later to say they had no paperwork showing Emir was missing. Her initial inquiry most likely got lost so the whole process had to start from scratch. In the meantime Nursen posted pictures of her nephew all over social media in the hope that someone would recognise him. She visited dozens of orphanages across Turkey. Her sister’s remains were exhumed so that DNA samples could be compared with remains that had yet to be identified. None of her efforts were successful. She said she had even had occasional calls from local authorities asking how Emir was coping. For her it meant that her nephew had not yet been officially recorded as missing. Two years on from the earthquakes, the number of missing is still unclear. In April 2023, the internal affairs minister at the time said “a missing person claim was filed for 297 people, 86 of whom were children”. By November 2024, current Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced that 75 people were still missing and that 30 of them were children. Getty Images There are still conflicting accounts about how many people are missing That contrasted with the main opposition party, who said they had a list of 140 missing people, 38 of whom were children. They shared their list with the minister but received no response, they told BBC News Turkish. Sema Gulec, spokesperson of a foundation to locate the missing, believes the discrepancy may be because the interior ministry has not counted those whose families have officially accepted them as deceased. After the earthquake, various allegations were made about children being rescued from under the rubble but then going missing. The implication was that they had then been abducted, although these claims were denied by authorities. In January 2024, the governing party and its right-wing ally voted down a parliamentary motion calling for an investigation into the missing children. Then a commission to investigate the cases of the missing people was formed within Turkey’s Disaster Management Authority (Afad) – a government agency that operates under the interior ministry. Afad has been using several techniques to search for the missing, says Sema Gulec, whose 24-year-old son is among the disappeared. These techniques range from comparing DNA taken from the relatives of the missing with samples from the bodies buried without identification, to using a facial recognition system and comparing pictures of the missing with records filed with the police, she explains. Getty Images The devastating earthquakes killed more than 53,500 people in southern Turkey and over 5,500 in Syria However, opposition figures have accused authorities of irregularities or incompetence. They cite the example of a young woman who was buried under a different identity, only to be exhumed and identified a year later. “There could be dozens of others buried under false identities,” said Nermin Yildirim Kara, an MP from the main opposition party. She also argued that some of the rubble was cleared before all necessary scanning was made, citing as an example a famous residency building in Antakya where 48 people remain unaccounted for. “That debris was cleared in such haste that maybe some of the remains also got destroyed in the process,” she said. BBC News Turkish approached both Afad and the interior ministry for comment, but they declined to respond. In the meantime, families of the missing continue their search for answers. “A proper scan was not carried out. They removed the debris immediately, and we could not stop them,” said Ayse Ambarcioglu, whose sister and six-month-old niece went missing. “Two years have gone by already. What are [the authorities] supposed to do now – bring a piece of bone and say this belongs to your sister?” The search for six-year-old twins Duru and Ipek Koyuncu, 12-year-old Irem Karaca and six-month-old Umay Kisacam has yielded no results “We would settle just for a single bone, but nothing was found,” said Caner Yurdakul, whose sister, brother-in-law and their six-year-old twin daughters disappeared after the earthquake. The cities scarred by the devastating tremors in southern Turkey are rife with such accounts. But many relatives of the missing are determined to carry on with their search for answers. “There is nothing yet to prove that my nephew Emir is either dead or alive,” said Nursen Kisa. “I am never going to succumb to pressure and report him as deceased.” Source link #Families #search #missing #children #Turkeys #earthquake Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Trump ‘made something snap in us’ Trump ‘made something snap in us’ After US President Donald Trump threatened Canada with steep tariffs, Monika Morelli from Montreal cancelled her subscriptions to Netflix and Amazon, two giant American companies. She also called off a trip that she had planned for later in the year to New Orleans. “There is something that has been irrevocably broken now, after centuries of the US and Canada being allies,” Ms Morelli, 39, told the BBC. The threaten of import taxes, she said, plus Trump’s remarks that Canada could become the 51st US state, “have made something snap in us all”. Trump had vowed to slap a 25% tariff on both Canada and Mexico this week, citing issues with border security. He then struck a surprise deal with Mexico on Monday that resulted in the duties being delayed for 30 days in exchange for more ******** troops at the border. A similar deal was agreed with Canada later in the day. For Canadians, who had been deeply anxious about the economic consequences of the tariffs, the delay elicited a sigh of relief. But some feel the threat has caused a rift in the US-Canada relationship. Data released on Wednesday by national pollster Angus Reid found that 91% of Canadians want their country to rely less on the US in the future, preferring that option over repairing the US-Canada relationship, though more than half still wanted to try. The opinion survey also noted a big jump in national pride, and found that 90% of Canadians were following this issue closely, mimicking engagement levels not seen since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Shachi Kurl, president of Angus Reid, told the BBC the numbers capture “a moment of unity” in the country. They also showed that Canadians have responded to the US tariffs with a shared sense of anger, she said. With the US being the largest customer for ********* goods, the tariffs threaten to push the ********* economy into a recession and put thousands of jobs at risk. In addition to the tariffs, Trump has stated repeatedly (possibly as a joke) that Canada should instead become a US state to avoid paying the levy – a remark that has been met with fury from Canadians, and has been seen by some as a threat to their sovereignty. The issue has made way for a surge of patriotism in Canada – notably uniting people from all political stripes at a time when the country had been deeply divided over the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his policies. A “Buy *********” sentiment has been pushed by politicians and the general public, with shoppers wanting to support local businesses and avoid purchasing US-made products in protest over the potential tariffs. Carole Chandler, a 67-year-old retired public school teacher from Halifax, said that she, like Ms Morelli, had cancelled an upcoming holiday to Florida. “I love America and Americans,” she tells the BBC. “But I don’t want to be one.” Even with the temporary pause on tariffs, some ********* provinces are still pushing ahead with “Buy Local” campaigns to encourage people to spend their dollars closer to home. On Wednesday, Manitoba’s premier **** Kinew said his province will be spending C$140,000 ($97,800; £78,200) on advertising – including on billboards and radio – to push Manitobans to contribute to their local economy. Provinces are also removing barriers to trade internally within Canada, and many are calling for the country to diversify its trade relationship and build ties elsewhere. Kinew described the back and forth on the potential tariff war between the US and Canada as akin to “whiplash”. “But through it all, to see people come together and to rally around the flag, to put the Manitoba pride first and foremost, has been very encouraging,” Kinew said. Ms Kurl noted that the Canada-US relationship has endured for centuries, and the two countries have long been close allies and partners on the world stage. “It’s quite an enmeshed relationship,” she said. Canadians share not only deep economic ties with the US, but also familial bonds and the world’s longest land border. The US has also long been the top travel destination for Canadians. She said it would not be easy to untangle those ties, and it remains to be seen whether the recent sentiments over Trump’s tariffs signal a fundamental shift between the two countries. A lot of it, she added, could depend on how the relationship with the current US president progresses, and whether the tariff threat materialises. As Canadians wait and see what happens, they said they were looking to support their own however they can. “We don’t put on big displays like Americans do,” said Ms Chandler from Halifax. But ********* patriotism runs deep, she said. Source link #Trump #snap Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

Faisal Islam: The tariff wars have begun Faisal Islam: The tariff wars have begun BBC Don’t mess with Canada – that’s the private message to the US from the very top of Ottawa’s political system. Just like nearly a century ago with the infamous American Smoot-Hawley tariffs, Canada got its retaliation in to Donald Trump’s import taxes very quickly. While the White House is claiming Canada’s pledge to spend $1.3bn (£1bn) on a border protection plan has given it diplomatic victory in its battle over fentanyl traffic, there was very little conceded that was not already planned by America’s northern neighbour. Crucially, both Mexico and Canada were undeterred by a clear threat in Trump’s executive orders that any retaliation would lead to higher tariffs on imports into the US. After consulting each other, Canada and Mexico instead both negotiated a month’s pause with Trump. The returning US president likes making threats of tariffs on most days, and in many directions. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images The US claimed diplomatic victory after Canada agreed to a border protection plan to tackle the cross border trade in fentanyl Since his inauguration, these have also been directed at Denmark, Colombia, China, Taiwan, the European Union as well as all of the Brics countries which include Brazil, Russia and India. The rationale for his tariffs keeps changing and much about this situation defies logical explanation. So, Mexico, Canada and every other country facing tariffs or the threat of them have to decipher what Trump is really playing at. And when they’ve done that, the question for the whole world is whether what we are seeing is an attempt by the US president to rewrite the entire global monetary system – and at what risk to America? The contradictions Trump has claimed that fentanyl trafficking was the legal pretext for tariffs, allowing him to bypass Congress and use emergency powers to impose border taxes on Canada, Mexico and China, by declaring an “unusual or extraordinary threat”. But while talking about the fentanyl trade, he also referred to Canada’s goods trade surplus with the US (which means Canada sells more to the US than it imports), and introduced the idea that Canada should become the “51st state” of America. While any country might demand talks about both illicit and legal trade flows, it is difficult to see how to handle these conversations when there is a parallel threat of continental annexation of a free trade ally which is also part of Nato and one of the Group of Seven (G7) most advanced economies in the world. A disputed surplus Europe, meanwhile, seems unwilling to stir the pot as it attempts to work out the president’s precise motivations and how this feeds itself into what he decides over Transatlantic tariffs. Trump’s long-standing animus with the EU comes from the bloc’s substantial goods trade surplus with the US, arising from areas such as high-end ******* car exports. Underlying all of this is a perceived unfairness that other markets are more restrictive against America such as when it comes to the prices paid for US drugs or fines placed on US tech companies. But if this really is about trade deficits, it is something of a mystery as to why Trump has not yet announced tariffs against the likes of Vietnam, Japan and South Korea – who have far ******* surpluses with the US. In any case, for Trump to focus solely on goods means that he is willingly ignoring the US’s great export – services. Getty Images Canada were undeterred by a clear threat in Trump’s executive orders that any retaliation would lead to higher tariffs on imports into the US I put this precise point to the EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic last month. He told me: “Sure, we have a trade surplus in goods, but the US has a trade surplus in services. “And on top of it, every year, €300bn (£249bn) is flowing across the Atlantic into the American companies from our pension funds, from the saving accounts of the European citizens because they’re investing in the US. So I think that it’s a pretty balanced relationship.” As it happens, the *** trade position with the US is more balanced, a point made to me by the Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds. In fact, on some measures, the US has a surplus with Britain. Amid the fog of Trump’s true intentions, European negotiators have resorted to stressing co-operation, partnership and deals with the US and studiously avoided directly criticising even the extraordinary suggestion of using tariffs against Nato-ally Denmark over the fate of Greenland. A negotiating tool In November 2024, Stephen Miran, before becoming President Trump’s White House chief economics advisor, authored a paper laying out further questions that could determine how much more the US should tariff specific countries. These ranged from an assessment of whether a country applies similar tariffs to the US, suppresses its currency, respects US intellectual property, pays its Nato obligations, votes against the US at the United Nations or its “leaders grandstand against the US in the international theatre”. It also talked of forcing other nations “to choose between facing a tariff on their exports to the American consumer or applying tariffs to their imports from China”, asking: “Which will they choose?” The president himself was pretty clear in his video address to a stunned World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January. “Your choice,” he said to the assembled international executives. Build your goods in American factories with tax incentives, or import into the US from foreign factories and pay tariffs that would raise “hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars” for the US Treasury. “Most of the world has come to understand that Trump does use tariffs as a negotiating tool,” Stephen Moore, a former Trump economic advisor who recently visited the president, told me. Across the board It may be that a part of Trump’s logic is very simple: remodel the US tax system so that everything coming into the country attracts a levy but, in return, the public sees income tax rates slashed. “By the way, I do think at the end of the day, there will be an across-the-board tariff imposed by Trump,” says Mr Moore. “He’s talked about this, that if you’re bringing something into the United States whether it’s from Britain, whether it’s Mexico, Canada, China, Europe, you’re going to pay a little bit more but if something is made in the United States, he’s going to lower the tax. And to a lot of Americans, that’s a very attractive proposition.” Mr Moore has suggested a 15% universal tariff on all imports from everywhere in order to fund a cut in income tax rates down to 15%. A fundamental change Mr Miran’s paper also contains a proposal that led to jaws dropping in global central banks and finance ministries: bring down the value of the dollar in order to boost US industry and exports. Arranging this would mean a fundamental change to the way the global monetary system operates. But Mr Miran suggests that punitive tariffs could be used as leverage to make reluctant trading partners like Europe and China “become more receptive” to the idea. Getty Images Stephen Miran’s paper suggests that punitive tariffs could be used as leverage to make reluctant trading partners like Europe and China ‘become more receptive’ He suggests that in time there could be a summit of the world’s economic powers, where allies and rivals thrash out the revaluation of the dollar, perhaps at the president’s Florida residence. It could be known as the Mar-a-Lago Accord. Early discussions of the idea in international forums have been highly sceptical, recalling the history of similar attempts to manage global currency values. But it is the recently published concept of the top White House economic advisor. Tariff now, tariff hard and tariff everywhere in order to, in the future, get the world to help bring down the value of the dollar. Show strength Such a radical idea comes with risk and already simply with the tariffs, there is a danger for the White House that the US overplays its hand. Mark Carney, who is frontrunner to replace Justin Trudeau as ********* Liberal Party leader, and as Prime Minister, at least until an election, has a rather unique approach. The former governor of both the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada decided to come out punching, ridiculing the fentanyl rationale and telling the BBC that Canada would retaliate “dollar for dollar” and that Canadians would “stand up to a bully”. He said that the tariff move would rebound on the US economy itself by fuelling inflation, forcing the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates and crippling the ability of the US to sign trade deals, given they would have effectively ripped up their biggest – the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) – just a few years after the president had personally renegotiated it. Mr Carney then publicly suggested that Canada removes a subsidy from exports to the US of its oil, and stressed that Canada’s green investments might need to be protected from US carbon emissions. For those countries like the *** trying to avoid tariffs, he had a simple message: “Good luck”. The clear sense was that from his own experience of having dealt with Trump at the G20, the way to deal with him was to show strength. The risk of retaliation This is partly a calculation that the muted opposition to these policies within the US will not be sustained. Again, the harder, more strategic and more coordinated the retaliation, the more pause for thought it will give big US corporates and some in the competing courts around the President. Elon Musk, the normally prolific social media poster on his X platform and chief executive of electric vehicle-maker Tesla, was curiously largely quiet about the single biggest move from the president. He eventually reposted the news from the ******** president that their tariffs had been delayed. Getty Images After consulting with each other, Canada and Mexico each negotiated a month’s pause with Trump A leading US tech chief executive told me that his company was already making plans, assuming they would be on the receiving end of retaliatory tariffs. His hope was that Trump’s focus on the rising value of the US stock market would create a natural restraint against excessive tariffs. Some saw the modest fall on the Dow Jones index on Monday as contributing to this week’s pauses. Retaliation is standard procedure in trade wars. Indeed in the most famous of them all, when US Republicans passed the calamitous 1930s Smoot-Hawley tariffs, Canada was the first to hit back, doing so before the US had even finished legislating. History points to Henry Ford being one of those begging Herbert Hoover to veto the Smoot-Hawley tariffs in 1930. An integrated industry And, in 2025, the car industry is one obvious potential tariff loser. “It’s true to say that there is no such thing as a ********* auto industry, an American auto industry and a ******** auto industry,” says Peter Frise, a professor of mechanical and automotive engineering at the University of Windsor. “There are *********, American, and ******** components of a North American auto industry and the integration among the three countries is absolutely foundational to how the industry works.” Getty Images Mexico, Canada and every other country facing tariffs or the threat of them have to decipher what Trump is really playing at Not only are models like the Honda Civic, which is hugely popular in the US, manufactured in Canada – Prof Frise says “very few” cars assembled in the US will not contain some parts that come from across the border. And so, says he adds, tariffs “would drive up costs for everyone” – US consumers included. Others diversify Another risk for Trump is that as Mr Carney and Mr Sefcovic said, they are all now responding to the direction of US trade policy by diversifying with one another. The EU is busy doing trade deals with Latin America. “There is huge demand in the outside world for free and fair trade relationships,” says Mr Sefcovic. The *** has also restarted trade negotiations with India and the Gulf countries. Reynolds says that the “challenging international position” means the *** has to push its “genuine competitive advantage” as the “most connected market in the world” with the US, the EU and China. An extensive and surprising tariff war The other issue here is that if the direction of travel is a universal tariff, as Trump and his advisors keep suggesting, is there much incentive to try to avoid it? There is some startling thinking circulating in Trumponomics circles. It is talk of that revenue grab of trillions of dollars that is spooking even allies who think they might escape the tariffs. It sounds like a wild economic gamble. But such talk is relative, at a time when the US president is putting tariffs on his closest economic G7 and Nato partner over fentanyl, while simultaneously claiming it should become part of the US. It could be an extensive and surprising tariff war. This week’s trade dramas are just early skirmishes.

As case involving Prince Harry’s immigration paperwork inches forward, judge considers next steps As case involving Prince Harry’s immigration paperwork inches forward, judge considers next steps WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge is considering next steps in a slow-moving court case over whether to release documents that could spell legal trouble for Prince Harry, with an influential conservative think tank seeking to reveal if he lied on his immigration paperwork about past drug use or received special treatment to enter the country. The case before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols centers on the circumstances under which Harry — the Duke of Sussex and the son of King Charles III — entered the United States when he and his wife Meghan Markle moved to Southern California in 2020. The Heritage Foundation sued after the Department of Homeland Security largely rejected its Freedom of Information Act request to release Harry’s records. Harry is not a party in the lawsuit. “We believe the American people have a right to know whether Prince Harry was truthful on his application,” said Nile Gardiner, head of the Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom. Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. Heritage has argued there is “intense public interest” in whether Harry received special treatment during the application process, particularly after his 2023 memoir “Spare” revealed past drug use. Harry says in “Spare” that he took ******** several times starting around age 17, in order “to feel. To be different.” He also acknowledged using cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms. The U.S. routinely asks about drug use on its visa applications, and it has been linked to travel headaches for celebrities, including chef Nigella Lawson, singer Amy Winehouse and model Kate Moss. Acknowledgment of past drug use doesn’t necessarily bar people from entering or staying in the country, but answering untruthfully can have serious consequences. “If he lied, that gets you deported,” Heritage’s attorney Samuel Dewey told reporters after the hearing. “People are routinely deported for lying on immigration forms.” Dewey said it’s also possible that Harry was truthful about his prior drug use on his application, and received either an internal DHS waiver or some sort of diplomatic visa from the State Department. Both options are legal but would leave the government and Harry open to accusations of special treatment. Wednesday’s hearing before Judge Nichols focused largely on how to handle a trio of sworn statements from DHS officials on why the agency was fighting the records request. Those statements have not been seen by the Heritage legal team, and Nichols is considering whether to release part or all of those declarations to the Heritage Foundation. The judge — who has been shown some, but not all, of Harry’s immigration records — said he’s also considering whether to request more records from the government and whether to call in an outside expert as a consultant. Nichols said he’s seeking to strike a balance between revealing too much information in the DHS statements and redacting them to the point of meaninglessness. “There’s a point where redactions would leave just a name or a date,” he said. Gardiner said he was also appealing to President Donald Trump — who made immigration security a centerpiece of his campaign — to end the case by simply ordering the release of Harry’s paperwork. ___ Associated Press writer Lindsay Whitehurst contributed to this report.

TikTok owner ByteDance has a new AI video creator you have to see to believe TikTok owner ByteDance has a new AI video creator you have to see to believe ByteDance is showing off the new OmniHuman AI video model. OmniHuman transforms a single photo into a lifelike, full-body video. The videos show realistic singing, speaking, and movement. TikTok parent company, ByteDance, is showing off a new AI video creator that can produce vivid videos of people talking, singing, and moving around from a single photograph. The new OmniHuman model can bring an image to life with eerily accurate body movements, facial expressions, and gestures. OmniHuman’s breakthrough involved training on more than 18,700 hours of video. The AI can now mimic how humans move, speak, and interact in videos. Notably, this AI can create fully moving characters rather than just animating a face or upper body. That means a single picture can be turned into a video of someone giving a speech, dancing, or even playing an instrument. The result is a very realistic video, whether the character is a human from a photograph or one from a more stylized painting. You can see examples below. OmniHuman everywhere If and when ByteDance does make OmniHuman available, it’s easy to imagine it blowing up on TikTok. The company already offers an AI video-maker named Jimeng on the platform, and something like OmniHuman could entice many more people to play with TikTok and its other features. Of course, ByteDance won’t enter the space without competition. OpenAI’s Sora has drawn accolades and is a big name in the AI video space, but there are plenty of others, such as Pika, Runway, Pollo, and Luma Labs’ Dream Machine. There’s a lot of potential use for ByteDance’s model, whether recreating actors of the past for more movies or teaching students history from the simulated mouths of historical figures. Even digital avatars for social media and gaming could become more lifelike, adapting in real-time based on user input. OmniHuman is still a research project for now, but the fact that ByteDance is already showcasing its capabilities suggests that practical applications aren’t far behind. The AI character below could be the next face of a video trend on TikTok. Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

Stock gains signal calm, but listen to Fed officials Stock gains signal calm, but listen to Fed officials The Marriner S. Eccles Federal Reserve building in Washington, DC, U.S., on Sunday, Jan. 12, 2025. Samuel Corum | Bloomberg | Getty Images If investors were to judge the stability of the economy by looking at the stock market, its two-day winning streak might lead investors to think that it’s business as usual. The market’s response to corporate earnings would also support that thesis. Investors are selling off companies that didn’t meet their expectations, such as Google-parent Alphabet and Advanced Micro Devices, and flocking to firms that they think will do even better in the future, like Palantir. (Whether that’s a fair, or even realistic, belief is up for debate – but it’s certainly not out of the ordinary.) But U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers are being unusually open about their concerns over the potential impact of tariffs. If investors listen to them, they will perhaps find that the calm in markets is deceptive. What you need to know today Fed policymakers open upIn recent days, multiple Fed policymakers, such as Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee and Boston Fed President Susan Collins, have not only noted the uncertainty surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but have also highlighted the potential impact on inflation. That’s a break from Fed officials’ typical stance of not commenting on fiscal policy, suggesting that tariffs could have serious effects on the U.S. economy. Second day of gains for U.S. stocksU.S. stocks climbed on Wednesday for back-to-back gains. The S&P 500 rose 0.39%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.71% and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.19%. Sharp drops in Google and AMD were offset by a 5.2% jump in Nvidia. Europe’s Stoxx 600 index added 0.47% amid a mixed day for its regional bourses. Banco Santander topped Stoxx 600 gains, up 8.3%, after the Spanish lender reported record quarterly profit. Google Gemini 2.0Google on Wednesday released Gemini 2.0, its latest artificial intelligence model suite, to the public. It’s part of Google’s strategy of investing heavily into AI agents — which can complete complex multistep tasks on a user’s behalf, rather than a user having to walk them through every individual step. Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic are also moving toward agentic AI as companies try to gain an edge over competitors. Qualcomm sees growth in automotivesQualcomm reported on Wednesday fiscal first-quarter revenue of $11.67 billion, beating expectations and up 18% from $9.92 billion a year ago. Net income increased 15% to $3.18 billion from $2.77 billion a year earlier. Automotives are the chipmaker’s fastest-growing business — Qualcomm reported $961 million in quarterly sales for them, growing 61% on an annual basis. However, its shares fell more than 4.6% in extended trading. Investors were concerned that revenue from Qualcomm’s licensing business would remain flat, Reuters said. Disney+ loses subscribersDisney posted fiscal first-quarter earnings Wednesday that beat on the top and bottom lines. The entertainment conglomerate’s net income jumped nearly 23% to $2.64 billion from $2.15 billion during the same quarter last year, while revenue rose 4.8% from a year earlier. Disney+, the company’s streaming platform, was profitable during the quarter, but experienced a 1% drop in subscribers. Shares fell 2.4%. [PRO] Palantir’s valuation unrealistic?Palantir shares surged 24% on Tuesday to a record high after reporting stronger-than-expected fourth quarter results and guidance. Even though the stock gave up some of those gains on Wednesday, the software company’s valuation appears way out of market fundamentals. CNBC Pro’s John Melloy and Christopher Hayes explain why. And finally… General view of the City of London skyline, the capital’s financial district, in October. Sopa Images | Lightrocket | Getty Images Trump’s trade war could have a clear winner: The *** After hitting Mexico, Canada and China with tariffs — though those on the former two countries have been paused — Trump told reporters on Sunday that tariffs on the EU “will definitely happen.” However, Trump said a deal “could be worked out” with the U.K., a nation with which U.S. trade is more balanced. As the British economy struggles, several analysts told CNBC the economy could get a boost from Trump’s trade war.
