Attendance in theaters had collapsed, and studios were sending their films directly to streaming instead of giving them an exclusive theatrical window. On Monday’s Daily Show, Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong told host Jon Stewart that he wants to take the challenged news outlet public, an unusual maneuver for a media company of that scale. (As part of Tribune Publishing, and then Tronc, it had been housed in a publicly traded company until its sale to Soon-Shiong in 2018. So the opportunity for us is to provide a paper that is the voices of the people,” Soon-Shiong told Stewart. But is that commitment about giving the community a stake in its news, or is it about giving the Times a potential financial lifeline (or, frankly, could it be both?).

Former Unite boss Len McCluskey enjoyed private jet flights and football tickets arranged by the firm building a multi-million pound hotel for the union, according to an internal report. Unite's report said the private jet flights and football tickets were "consistently organised and paid for by" the Flanagan Group and there is "no indication" Mr McCluskey later reimbursed them. Mr McCluskey's lawyers told the BBC he paid for his own travel in full, and, to his recollection, always paid the cost of his football tickets. He denied he had overruled staff or lawyers. The Flanagan Group did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

It would help avoid double contribution to social security funds by Indian professionals working for a limited period in Britain.However, the talks for the bilateral investment treaty (BIT) are still going on.The FTA comes into force after signing and ratification by both the countries.In such trade agreements, two countries either eliminate or significantly reduce customs duties on maximum goods traded between them. They also ease norms for promoting trade in services and bilateral investments.India's exports to the UK rose by 12.6 per cent to USD 14.5 billion, while imports grew by 2.3 per cent to USD 8.6 billion in 2024-25.The bilateral trade between India and the UK increased to USD 21.34 billion in 2023-24 from USD 20.36 billion in 2022-23.
The agreement says the UK and OpenAI may develop an "information sharing programme" and will "develop safeguards that protect the public and uphold democratic values". And OpenAI will expand its London office, which it says currently employs more than 100 people. The commitment is a statement of intent, rather than a legally-binding deal, which sets out the goals of a partnership between the UK government and OpenAI. But he said the challenge was whether it could "really be done transparently and ethically, with minimal data drawn from the public". Co-executive Director Martha Dark said the "treasure trove of public data" the government holds "would be of enormous commercial value to OpenAI in helping to train the next incarnation of ChatGPT".
