Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing scrutiny over alleged links to Chinese intelligence involving a businesswoman with whom he had an intimate relationship. The company’s board has launched an independent investigation into the matter. Nvidia says it has no reason to believe its trade secrets or US national security have been compromised. The controversy has raised questions about the potential impact on the company and its investors. Dan Ives, an analyst at Yorkville Ives & Co, says Huang has been central to Nvidia’s success, particularly its shift towards artificial intelligence. “Jensen’s almost been a superhero for Nvidia’s shareholders,” Ives says,…

The Middle East and North Africa’s mobile economy is projected to reach €421 billion by 2030, but a new industry report highlights a persistent problem: economic growth is accelerating, yet millions of people still are not benefiting from the digital economy. GSMA’s Mobile Economy MENA 2026 report, released on the opening day of MWC26 Doha, revealed that mobile technologies and services generated an estimated €340 billion in economic value in 2025, supporting 2.2 million jobs and contributing around €35.8 billion to public finances. Meanwhile, 48% of MENA’s population used mobile internet last year, while 49% remained offline despite living in…

The last time Spain’s two biggest unions called a general strike together, in November 2012, the country was deep in an austerity crisis. Fourteen years later, Spanish workers will try to bring the country to a halt again. This time, the grievances are about the basics, and they sound much the same in Madrid, Paris, Brussels and Rome: rents people can afford, wages that keep up with prices and public services that work. The 24-hour walkout called by the Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) and Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) unions for Wednesday comes 18 days before Spain’s snap general election on…

Published on 10 November 2026 – 5:29 GMT+1 Exports from the world’s second-largest economy have surged in recent months, driven in part by soaring global demand for artificial intelligence-related products including computer chips, data centre servers and networking equipment. The trade boom has offered Beijing a key economic lifeline as domestic activity is weighed by longstanding woes in the once-roaring property sector. The figures come ahead of another high-stakes meeting between President Xi Jinping and US counterpart Donald Trump at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in China next week. Exports jumped 35.2% year-on-year to $412.3 billion last month, according…

Entscheidungen werden mit Blick auf Generationen getroffen, nicht auf Quartalsergebnisse. Gerade in Zeiten wirtschaftlicher Unsicherheit gewinnt diese Weitsicht an Bedeutung. Es braucht Unternehmen, die über kurzfristige Marktzyklen hinausdenken und investieren. Sie stärken damit nicht nur ihre eigene Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, sondern leisten zugleich einen wichtigen Beitrag für den Wirtschaftsstandort insgesamt.

A Labour MP, granted anonymity like others in this article to speak frankly, said their own engagement with Democratic New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s team had hammered home “the politics of trying.” “If people think you’re not even trying, which obviously is what they thought about Trump, then you’re just going to get blown away,” they said. By making small adjustments, the MP argued, Burnham has begun to “develop a coherent argument — which is actually voters have to see you trying on the cost of living.” Yet beyond this apparent vindication of the PM’s basic strategy, members of his party see…

The GBU-57, also known as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), is one of the most powerful conventional weapons in the US military arsenal. Weighing around 13,600 kilograms, the precision-guided bomb was specifically designed to destroy deeply buried and heavily protected underground facilities. According to the US military, it can penetrate up to 61 metres of earth or around 18 metres of concrete before detonating. Its warhead weighs approximately 2,700 kilograms. The weapon was developed to reach targets beyond the capabilities of conventional bunker-busting bombs. Only the US operates the GBU-57, which can be carried by B-2 stealth bombers. On 21…
