Chipmaker Nvidia posted better-than-expected results for the January quarter on Wednesday and forecast current-quarter revenue above market estimates, betting on Big Tech’s unabated spending on ‌its artificial-intelligence processors. Still, there are signs of risk ​to Nvidia’s long-held dominance in making AI chips. Nvidia’s sales concentration among a few key customers crept up during its just-ended fiscal 2026, with two customers making up 36 per cent of sales. Nvidia reported January-quarter sales rose 94 per cent to $68.13 billion, beating estimates of $66.21 billion. “Stock-based compensation is a foundational component of Nvidia’s compensation program to attract and retain world-class talent,” the company said in a statement.

Photograph: Costas Metaxakis/AFP via Getty ImagesAlmost 8,000 people died or went missing ‌last year on perilous migration routes such as across the Mediterranean and Horn of Africa, but the ‌real toll is could far higher as cuts in funding have hit humanitarian access and tracking of deaths, a UN agency has said. Legal pathways for migration are shrinking, pushing more people into the hands of smugglers, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said, as Europe, the US and other regions increase enforcement and invest heavily ​in deterrence. “The continued loss of life on migration routes is a global failure we cannot accept as ⁠normal,” IOM director general Amy Pope said in a statement published on Thursday. When safe pathways are out of reach, people are forced into dangerous journeys and into the hands of smugglers and ⁠traffickers. The trend ​has continued into 2026, with migrant deaths in the Mediterranean reaching 606 by February 24th, the IOM added.

One of Ireland’s leading public health experts has said there are grounds for an in-depth examination into the deaths of more than 400 serving and retired Air Corps personnel. Around 48% of the 411 deaths relate to men who were aged in their 70s, 80s and 90s when they died. They were among those who worked as fire crews, spray painters, refuellers, and personnel who worked in the catering complex. After being asked by the Irish Examiner, he agreed to take another look at the deaths after he learned that more Air Corps personnel had died prematurely. Army chiefs were also given extensive spreadsheets detailing the age and year of death of each person on the anonymised list of 411 deaths.

This is the terrifying moment a hippopotamus flipped a boat, throwing a ranger into the water as his father helplessly looked on from a nearby raft. Members of The Digital Ark, a conservationist group, were attempting to catch the hippo and its calf which had escaped from a farm due to recent flooding. However, chaos ensued when Zander, a conservationist on a boat, was suddenly launched into the water after the enormous hippo flipped the vessel from underneath. 'During this darting operation, the hippo charged and flipped our boat, throwing a team member into the water and capsizing the vessel completely. In March 2024, a large hippo in the Chobe River in Namibia attacked a large tour group on a boat.

A new daily pill could be a more effective GLP-1 tablet for weight loss, according to a clinical trial that may pave the way for an improved non-injection alternative to Wegovy and Mounjaro. The drug, called orforglipron and manufactured by Eli Lilly, is prescribed for type 2 diabetes and targets the same GLP-1 receptors as oral semaglutide. At present, semaglutide is the only GLP-1 medication for type 2 diabetes available in pill form in the US. However, oral semaglutide has been shown to be less effective for weight loss than semaglutide injections — such as Ozempic and Wegovy — or tirzepatide injections such as Mounjaro. Participants received either 12mg or 36mg of orforglipron, or 7mg or 14mg of oral semaglutide, over the course of a year.
