“Domain expertise will certainly become more valuable. “Throughout the process, the domain experts guided the data scientists, validating findings and ensuring the final outputs reflected deep industry knowledge and sound judgement. “In a world where technology capability is increasingly commoditised, domain expertise will be the key differentiator. “AI enhances productivity, but it’s domain expertise that drives meaningful, informed action. Professionals who combine domain knowledge with the ability to work alongside AI tools will be in high demand.”Inside his own company, democratic experimentation is the fastest way to build that blend.

To stop the surreptitious sabotage, and destruction, of the UK’s last remaining virgin-steel blast furnace at Scunthorpe, and rescue the British steel industry. Scunthorpe, in the north-east, has been a hub of steel production for over 150 years, and provides about 70 per cent of Britain’s requirements. In 2020 the Chinese steel conglomerate Jingye purchased Scunthorpe from receivership, pledging to invest 1.2 billion pounds to modernise and upgrade the facility. Privatisation, deregulation, and an ideological fervour for global comparative advantage led policymakers to favour cheaper imported steel over domestic investment. As global supply chains expanded, Britain ceded more and more production capacity to lower-cost countries, prioritising ‘cheap’ over ‘sustainable and secure’, leaving sites like Scunthorpe increasingly exposed.

✉ I booked a flight with Volotea from Palermo in Sicily to Tarbes in France last month and paid for an extra 25kg piece of luggage. It was a sturdy cardboard box, well packed and secured, holding 12 bottles of wine, worth about £380, for personal consumption. This legal item was refused on spurious grounds and I had to leave what was an expensive case of wine in Palermo airport. Peter HarveyWhat a shame you had to abandon a case of delicious Sicilian wine in Palermo. We were forced to book those flights because in the chaos that day, BA was unavailable for passenger assistance.

GREENLAND’S hopes of playing competitive football on the world stage were dashed when the country was told it cannot join the confederation that also represents the Caribbean. The Arctic territory of Denmark started exploring entry to Concacaf — which covers North and Central America — three years ago. Greenland is the world's largest island and bigger than western Europe, but 81% of its land is topped by sheet ice. And now Concacaf have declined to help the country, which is nine times larger than the UK, make the next major step forward. But the the ice-covered nation, as well as Denmark, insist there is no chance of that happening.

Waymo removed its vehicles from downtown but continues to operate in other parts of Los Angeles. AdvertisementWaymo’s fleet of driverless electric Jaguars has become a familiar sight in Los Angeles, where they have operated since November. Waymo vehicles had driven nearly 2 million miles in Los Angeles as of January, but have been frequent targets for vandals. In July, also in San Francisco, a Castro Valley resident was charged with vandalizing 17 Waymos over three days, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Protests in California began Saturday after ICE raids in the Los Angeles Fashion District and continued Sunday.

Her heartbroken mum, Kimberley Lindop, described scenes of "chaos" at the hospital as doctors tried to save the baby's life. Minutes later, Polly suffered another cardiac arrest and tragically died at just 18 hours old. Kimberley described the ward as "chaotic", adding there were an "awful lot of people" in the unit when Polly suffered a "collapse". A post-mortem examination found the primary cause of Polly's death was sepsis and prematurity and that she had suffered severe lung damage. St Mary's Hospital told Sun Health it wouldn't be providing an official comment until the conclusion of the inquest.

The British government said on Tuesday that it would spend as much as 14.2 billion pounds, or about $19 billion, on constructing a nuclear power station, a project that is expected to create 10,000 jobs and help light up six million homes. EDF, the French state-owned energy group, will build the plant. According to a recent filing, it owns 12 percent of the project with the British government holding the rest. Nuclear power plants can cost tens of billions of dollars to build, but they have regained favor in recent years in Britain and elsewhere because they produce large volumes of steady electric power with few emissions. The plants are also viewed as a way to enhance energy security.

However, towards the end of her piece, she deemed it necessary to give ‘the other side’ – those who attributes attacks on Jews to Israel’s behavior during their war against Hamas. On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers opened fire near crowds of Palestinians walking towards a food distribution site, leaving 27 people dead. The Times is promoting what was aptly referred to by the late Norman Geras, in a 2012 speech, as “alibi antisemitism”: the argument that Israel’s putatively oppressive policies render antisemitism understandable. Such incidents certainly wouldn’t have been defended as a result of the understandable radicalisation of Jews stemming from the barbaric antisemitic attack by Muslims on Oct. 7. It’s extremely dispiriting that the Times reporter, in anotherwise solid report about anti-Jewish racism post Oct. 7, felt the need to promote such a morally unserious and dangerous myth about the ‘root cause’ antisemitism, one which exculpates the perpetrators while effectively blaming the victim.

Media reporting widely blamed the alleged millionaire exodus on tax policies in the same year that calls for a wealth tax on the super-rich gained unprecedented momentum globally. The media reporting was equivalent to 30 news pieces a day on the “non-existent” millionaire exodus across 2024. In the case of the UK, the ‘millionaires’ identified by the report represent just a fifth (20%) of the UK millionaire population. In 2021, Henley described 2,000 millionaires leaving the UK as “insignificant” but in 2023 described 1,500 millionaires leaving the UK an “exodus”. It is co-published with Patriotic Millionaires UK and Tax Justice UK.

10 June 2025 20:14The UK is set to formally sanction two hard-right Israeli ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir (Security Minister) and Bezalel Smotrich (Finance Minister), due to their "monstrous" remarks concerning Gaza. This move, which includes asset freezes and travel bans, represents a significant divergence from Washington's stance, Caliber.Az reports via The Times. The UK will join Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in implementing these sanctions. Notably, these two ministers are crucial for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in maintaining his delicate coalition government. He has also actively campaigned against allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza, previously stating that he would permit “not even a grain of wheat” to enter the warzone.

By Elizabeth Piper and Sachin RavikumarLONDON (Reuters) -Britain and four other nations imposed sanctions on Tuesday on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, accusing them of repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway joined Britain in freezing the assets and imposing travel bans on Israel's national security minister Ben-Gvir and finance minister Smotrich, both West Bank settlers. Smotrich, speaking at the inauguration of a new West Bank Jewish settlement in the Hebron Hills, spoke of "contempt" for Britain's move. London also suspended free trade talks with Israel for pursuing "egregious policies" in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, and announced further sanctions against West Bank settlers. "There must be no unlawful transfer of Palestinians from Gaza or within the West Bank, nor any reduction in the territory of the Gaza Strip."
