A nine-year-old boy has died from an accidental gunshot wound to the neck at a farm property in Windellama, near Goulburn in New South Wales. The incident occurred on Sunday, with paramedics unable to save the child's life despite treatment at the scene. Two relatives of the deceased have been arrested and charged with firearm-related offenses. Among those charged is a 14-year-old who faces unauthorized possession charges and has been granted bail.

Trump Insists US Steel Must Remain American-Owned, Challenging $15B Nippon Deal

President Donald Trump reaffirmed his opposition to foreign ownership of U.S. Steel on Sunday, stating he doesn't believe a foreign company should control the iconic American manufacturer. This repeated stance further dampens prospects for Japan's Nippon Steel's $15 billion acquisition bid. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while returning to Washington from Florida, Trump maintained his position first expressed last Wednesday when he said he didn't want to see U.S. Steel "go to Japan"โ€”comments" that triggered a 7% drop in the company's share price. Following Trump's initial remarks, both companies stated they were working closely with the Trump administration to "secure a significant investment." Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba revealed that he and Trump had discussed the deal during their February meeting. "The difference between acquisition and investment must be carefully examined in light of the U.S. law, but […]

Phone and Computer Prices Dodge Trump’s Mega-Tariffs

The U.S. administration has announced key exemptions to its recent tariff policies, specifically excluding smartphones, computers, and electronic components from the 125% China-specific tariff and the 10% global tariff affecting most other nations. The exemptions, detailed in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection release, cover a range of electronic products including laptops, hard drives, computer processors, and memory chips. This decision acknowledges the current reality that these items are primarily manufactured outside the United States, with domestic production capabilities potentially requiring years to develop. The exemption mainly benefits Apple's operations, as the company primarily manufactures its phones in China through orders from its Cork, Ireland facility. There had been concerns that supply chain disruptions could impact the profitability of Apple's Irish operations and subsequent corporate tax payments in Ireland. Semiconductor manufacturing equipment also received exemption status, a significant development for […]

Arena Bomber’s Brother Launches Brutal Attack on Prison Officers

Three prison officers at HMP Frankland in County Durham suffered severe injuries after an attack by Hashem Abedi, who is serving time for his role in the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. The incident occurred Saturday in a high-security separation center housing fewer than 10 of Britain's most dangerous extremist prisoners. The Prison Officers' Association reported that Abedi used hot cooking oil and improvised weapons to inflict burns, scalds, and stab wounds on the officers. As of 4:00 PM Saturday, one female officer had been discharged from the hospital, while two others remained hospitalized with serious injuries.

Auto Tariffs Will Cost Industry 100 Billion Dollars and Cut Sales by Millions

New vehicle tariffs are reshaping the automotive landscape, with industry analysts forecasting significant impacts on both manufacturers and consumers. The 25% tariff on imported vehicles and upcoming similar levies on auto parts are expected to create ripple effects throughout the sector. Financial experts project the policy changes could add between $110 and $160 billion in annual costs industry-wide. For U.S. automakers alone, expenses could rise by $107.7 billion, with Detroit's Big Three facing $41.9 billion in additional costs. These increased expenses are likely to affect consumer prices, with analysts predicting average vehicle cost increases of $2,000-$4,000 over the next year. Imported vehicles could see price hikes up to $6,000, while U.S.-assembled vehicles may increase by $3,600 due to parts tariffs. Manufacturers are responding differently: domestic producers are offering temporary employee pricing deals, while some international brands have suspended U.S. shipments. […]

ECJ Advisor: Ireland Must Accommodate All Asylum Seekers Despite Housing Crisis

An advisor to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has issued a legal opinion stating that Ireland cannot use housing shortages as a justification for failing to accommodate single male asylum seekers. The opinion, published Thursday by the Luxembourg-based court, indicates that Ireland "cannot use force majeure to justify failure to provide basic needs for international protection applicants." It further states that even during "a large influx of people" applying for asylum, "member states cannot invoke force majeure to avoid responsibility for providing adequate reception conditions or compensating for harm caused." This development challenges a key argument used by the Irish government in an ongoing legal dispute. The Department of Children is currently appealing a High Court ruling from August that found the state in breach of fundamental rights by failing to provide accommodation to single male asylum seekers. The […]
