“Whether you speak to people from the Middle East, from sub-Saharan Africa, from Europe … all these fingers are pointed at President Trump and what he did in Iran. More so ironically — perversely — than Putin in Ukraine. President Trump has got Putin off the hook.” The rhetoric on display in Turkey has not gone unnoticed in Washington, which has not sent a delegation to COP31. The U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change treaty that underpins COP talks will be completed early next year. “President Trump is ensuring Iran can never have or use…
A chimpanzee sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida, has turned to drones to deliver food after flooding left large parts of its property underwater. With roads and walkways submerged, staff have struggled to reach some areas of the sanctuary and maintain daily operations. In one delivery, a drone carried bananas to ensure a chimpanzee received its meal despite the high water. Sanctuary officials said the animals remained safe and were being closely monitored and cared for as wet conditions continued.
A service interruption atMicrosoft caused disruption for thousands of users on Thursday 12 November, with access problems mainly affecting Outlook, the group’s email platform, but also Teams, Copilot and other Microsoft 365 tools.

The U.N. last month said that, even if countries dramatically slash planet-warming emissions starting right now, the best outcome would be a rise in global temperatures of 1.8 degrees. If they also deploy vast amounts of carbon removal tech to clean up the atmosphere, there’s a chance of getting back to 1.5 degrees after surpassing it — in theory. In reality, though, greenhouse gas emissions are still rising and the carbon-hoovering technologies needed to achieve that reversal are unproven at scale. The risk The collective ambition of national climate plans, already insufficient before the U.N.’s announcement, is even weaker than…
An 11-month-old boy has been rescued alive after spending about 24 hours buried underground in a dog crate in the US state of South Carolina, where police say he was left by his father. Koah Sharp was found on Tuesday in woodland on a neighbour’s property, crying and covered in dirt, his grandfather John Comer told the Associated Press news agency on Wednesday. Soon afterwards, the baby stopped crying, and once he had been lifted on to the back of a truck, he sat up. “I became ecstatic, my hands straight in the air. I’m looking in the sky, jumping…
His words come after Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and Brexit Minister Hamish Falconer traveled to Brussels earlier this week to press for assurances that Britain will be included in the incoming legislation — which risks shutting U.K. manufacturers out of key European supply chains. Burnham held a series of meetings with European leaders, many for the first time, on Thursday as he sought to build support for a closer relationship with the bloc. “We’ve had a good day but we’ve got a big week ahead of us,” Burnham said. “You know, the deal is not done. There’ll be some long…
Footage captures newly elected members of the US House of Representatives ascending the Capitol steps, mingling in clusters and exchanging warm greetings, some punctuated by enthusiastic high-fives. Drawn from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Virginia and beyond, the freshman cohort gathered for a mandatory orientation programme designed to introduce first-time lawmakers to parliamentary protocol, their impending duties and life on Capitol Hill. Their arrival in Washington follows November’s midterm elections, which yielded sweeping gains for the Democrats alongside a markedly smaller intake of Republicans. This transitional phase sees incoming politicians crossing paths with departing incumbents clearing their desks, signalling the…
Nvidia shares fell more than 13% at the open on Thursday after the company said co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang was stepping down. The company’s board said Huang had stepped down as president, chief executive and board member, effective immediately. Chief financial officer Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO while keeping her finance role, and the board will consider internal and external candidates for a permanent replacement. The company’s board met late on Wednesday US time to consider removing Huang, following reports of two extramarital affairs, including one with a woman US authorities suspect of spying for China. Nvidia…
Published on 12 November 2026 – 21:19 GMT+1 Nvidia’s founder, Jensen Huang’s resignation from the artificial intelligence giant has rattled a market already heavily dependent on a handful of AI companies but analysts do not expect the chip giant to have a long-term impact. “It is a significant loss for the industry as a whole,” said investor and founder of financial publication The Kobeissi Letter, Adam Kobeissi. Speaking at Web Summit in Lisbon on a panel moderated by Euronews, Kobeissi said Huang’s resignation was “a critical mistake,” adding that more time should have been taken for an investigation. Jensen Huang…
DUBLIN — It was supposed to all be about how Europe faces up to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. Not for the first time at a summit of EU leaders, more pressing concerns are getting in the way. And, as has so often been the case since Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, it’s that conflict which is set to dominate proceedings in Dublin. The EU is at odds over who should represent it in any peace talks. When officials from Ukraine, Russia and the U.S. met in Abu Dhabi earlier this week, Europe was only on…
