The funding is part of a wider deal agreed between the UK and US during President Donald Trump’s second state visit that will see American firms invest in AI and emerging technologies in Britain. “Today we put tech up there as a special feature of the special relationship. “We will look back on today at the signing of that agreement and the flow of investment that that has triggered. Among those in attendance at the Nvidia event were US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and UK Business Secretary Peter Kyle. “There has never been a better time to invest in the UK – AI is unlocking new science and sparking entirely new industries.

Donald Trump has sued the New York Times for, well, reporting on Trump. Rather than charging the Times with any specific libelous act, Trump’s lawsuit is just another of his angry bloviations. Trump sued CBS for allegedly editing an interview with Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes to make her sound more coherent. He’s likewise using his lawsuit against the New York Times to advertise his longstanding grievances with the paper. But Paramount first needed the approval of Trump’s Federal Communications Commission – which held up the sale until the defamation lawsuit was settled.

The leaders of the United States and Britain could not be further apart on their climate and energy policies, the pomp of President Trump’s state visit notwithstanding. President Trump has announced the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris agreement. President Trump has called for the revival of coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, including by ordering some old coal-burning power plants to stay open. Britain closed its last coal plant last year, a move all the more symbolic for the birthplace of the industrial revolution over 150 years ago. Some old coal plant sites are being turned into battery farms to store energy drawn from solar and wind.

America under Mr Trump remains staunchly opposed to the idea of recognising a Palestinian state, and has also refused to grant visas to Palestinian officials for the coming UN gathering. Pressed on whether he would call for an end to the war if this condition was met, Mr Trump said: “Well, it would certainly help. But I have to have the hostages back.”Sir Keir, meanwhile, confirmed the pair had discussed his intention to recognise Palestinian statehood as they met in private on Thursday. Displaced Palestinians flee Gaza City (Abdel Kareem Hana/AP)The Prime Minister plans to recognise Palestinian statehood over the weekend, according to the Times newspaper, once Mr Trump has concluded his state visit. A joint statement by leading Jewish organisations from Canada, Australia and the UK, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews, has criticised their countries’ plans to recognise Palestinian statehood.

We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it. Jimmy Kimmel stays, Trump must go. Jimmy Kimmel stays, Trump must go. Jimmy Kimmel stays, Trump must go. They waited to pull the plug on this right as the studio audience was about to walk in.

Britain had rolled out the royal red carpet on Sept 17, giving Mr Trump the largest military ceremonial welcome for a state visit in living memory. This could lead to questions for both the premier and Mr Trump, whose own relationship with the financier has come under scrutiny. The Times newspaper has also reported that Britain would announce it was recognising a Palestinian state after Mr Trump had departed. Mr Trump later praised “beautiful” Kate and said Prince William was “going to have unbelievable success in the future”.

Proposals for Times Square, Hudson Yards casinos rejectedTIMES SQUARE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Proposals for two separate casino plans in Manhattan were both rejected by the Community Advisory Committee considering their future on Wednesday morning. Both the Caesars Palace Times Square and Avenir at Hudson Yards were rejected in separate votes. The Times Square proposal had been a hot-button issue, especially among the Broadway community. That includes residents like Dolores Rubin who's lived near Times Square her whole life. Developer SL Green had promised the Times Square casino would bring in $7 billion in taxes for the city and state, and hundreds of millions in investments into the neighborhood.

A masterful act of British diplomacy, deploying royal pomp, pageantry and ceremony in pursuit of the national interest. Or a desperate example of groveling to a fickle American president with a frail ego. Photos of a glittering banquet in Windsor Castle and of Mr. Trump’s procession through its grounds in a horse-drawn carriage adorned newspaper front pages. But the divide in perceptions was best illustrated by the front pages of two tabloids. The Sun, known for its conservative bent and sensational headlines, is part of News Corporation, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who attended the banquet.

Competitive funding schemes designed to support nature-based solutions (NbS) for flood management may be unintentionally deepening inequalities – with deprived communities at greater flood risk missing out on crucial protection. Using natural processes, NbS reduces flood risk by slowing water flow, increasing water storage. From the restoration of wetlands, to planting trees and reconnecting rivers to their natural floodplains, these methods are increasingly promoted worldwide as cost-effective and climate-friendly ways to reduce flood risk while boosting biodiversity. “These approaches not only help reduce flood risk but can also bring wider benefits, such as boosting biodiversity. With climate change predicted to increase the frequency and severity of flooding across the UK and globally, ensuring fair access to NbS funding is vital.

Writing for the Times, Pete Brown has praised the fine city as a place where pubs that aren't even his bona fide favourites "are still better than the best pubs in many towns". The Alexandra Tavern in Alexandra Road and the Fat Cat in West End Street were among the boozers listed as ones you could "spot him drinking in", as well as the Murderers in Timber HillREAD MORE: Police to patrol bars and clubs in Norwich to hunt predatorsHe also praised how walking between the city's various pubs, which boast "perfectly kept cask ale", takes you through "the charming streets of the most complete medieval city in England". Norwich's status as the first location in the UK to organise a "citywide celebration of its beer and pubs" in the City of Ale Festival was also complemented. Last month, Norwich was named as the fifth easiest place to grab a pint outside of Greater London, boasting an average of 33 pubs per 1,000 hectares. At one point in time, Norwich was even known as a city that had a different pub to visit for every day of the year.

A cover of the classic Bob Dylan track The Times They Are A-Changin’ by The Beach Boys could be improved with one minor adjustment. That is what fans believe, anyway, with listeners suggesting the fake “party” heard on Beach Boys’ Party! One such cover was of Dylan, whose album, The Times They Are A-Changin’, had been released just a year before this cover. Stemming from both The Beach Boys’ Christmas Album and Beach Boys Concert, the band decided it would blur the live and festive album experience with a party album. You can listen to The Beach Boys’ Dylan cover below.

When British police arrested an Irish comedian three weeks ago for online posts that they said could incite violence against transgender people, President Trump called it “sad” and “not a good thing” when it comes to free speech in the United Kingdom. “I will just say that in terms of U.K., strange things are happening over there,” the president said after the arrest of Graham Linehan, the writer and anti-transgender activist. “They are cracking down and surprisingly so, and I’ve spoken to the prime minister and let’s see what happens.”But as Mr. Trump sits down with Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday during the second day of his state visit to Britain, his own administration has forced the ouster of one of America’s most recognizable comedians over comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist. The ABC network on Wednesday indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel, the comedian and host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, after Mr. Kimmel made comments about the aftermath of Mr. Kirk’s death during his opening monologue on Monday night.

Days or even hours after President Trump departs Britain this afternoon, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to confirm that the British government will vote to recognize a Palestinian state next week at the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. But it puts Britain at odds with the United States. Mr. Trump is opposed to recognizing a Palestinian state, though he has not made an issue of it with Mr. Starmer, with whom he has developed a warm relationship, despite their divergent politics. “I’m not going to take a position; I don’t mind him taking a position,” Mr. Trump said during his visit to Scotland in July, when he was asked about Mr. Starmer’s movement toward recognizing Palestinian statehood. 1 position, because you have a lot of starving people.”
