In the past decade, the way people handle money has changed more rapidly than at any other point in financial history.

From paying for services online to sending money across continents in seconds, digital wallets have become a core part of modern financial life. This transformation is not just about technology; it reflects a deeper shift in how individuals and businesses think about money. People now expect payments to be instant, secure and available at any time, regardless…
For many people, NIGO’s name may not immediately ring a bell. But his influence, however, is everywhere. Born Tomoaki Nagao, the 55-year-old Japanese designer, DJ, producer and entrepreneur is best known as the founder of streetwear giant A Bathing Ape (BAPE), a longtime collaborator of Pharrell Williams and Virgil Abloh, and the current artistic director of Kenzo.

Now, London’s Design Museum is dedicating its first major retrospective to the influential creative. NIGO: From Japan…
LONDON — Andy Burnham wants to be Britain’s next prime minister. But he’s banking on the old adage that all politics is local to get him there. In the penultimate week of the Makerfield by-election campaign, the Greater Manchester mayor — who is seeking a Westminster seat to challenge British PM Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership — has been pumping cash into digital ads focused on hyper-local issues. It’s a notable shift from a campaign that has focused heavily on Burnham’s vow to “change Labour” at a national level — and shows the tough fight he is in to…

Published on 11/06/2026 – 5:58 GMT+2•Updated 6:15 The United States and Iran traded strikes for a second straight day, as US leaders accused their counterparts of dragging out negotiations for a deal to end the three-month war. Iranian media reported explosions across the south near the Strait of Hormuz, with explosions heard in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Minab, and sources reporting hits by “enemy projectiles” in Kargan and Sirik. CENTCOM said later that it had “completed” its strikes on “Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air defense sites”. American forces “fired precision munitions on Iranian targets that posed a…
The U.S. embassy’s mega 250th birthday bash in Brussels is one of the most sought-after events for the city’s top brass … but it’s also drawing ire. Today on the show, Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart discuss why MEPs and environmental activists are growing increasingly frustrated with this American July 4th celebration. The event is set to be attended by 5,000 people and will shut down the public Cinquantenaire park for up to 36 hours. Also on the show, we got our hands on the spending figures of lobby groups in the EU capital. Which country doles out the most…
If Burnham wins, Starmer would then likely set out a departure timetable. And while former Health Secretary Wes Streeting insists he will enter any leadership race, Burnham’s allies are privately pushing for a coronation, as Labour’s grassroots members — who choose the party leader — don’t want a divisive contest. Plus, Streeting may be keen on the top job, but he would probably back Burnham in return for a senior cabinet post. A handover of power could take place in the immediate aftermath of a Burnham victory; however, a September handover — possibly at Labour’s annual conference in late September…
