Unlicensed gambling companies could lose the right to sponsor Premier League clubs under new government plans. Ministers launched a consultation after controversies involving pornography, anti-money-laundering failures and alleged organised-crime links. Several top clubs, including Everton, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently display brands linked to online casinos or bookmakers without British licences. Clubs have already agreed to remove all front-of-shirt gambling sponsors after this season. That voluntary move will still allow sleeve deals and other partnerships. The government now wants a full ban on unlicensed operators in football sponsorship. Ministers warned that some firms work under weak regulation and fail to…

A Renewed Push for European Dialogue President Emmanuel Macron is set to outline France’s vision for its nuclear deterrent and how it could contribute more broadly to Europe’s security. Speaking from the Île Longue peninsula — home to France’s four nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines — Macron is expected to stress that any expanded European dimension of France’s deterrence would complement, not replace, the protection offered by the United States. This marks his first major address on nuclear strategy since 2020, when he proposed involving interested European partners in joint exercises. At the time, the idea drew little attention. Now, however,…

Netflix has four days to submit a counter-offer and did not comment immediately. Netflix Stays Guarded and Avoids Bidding War…

UN Submission Triggers Fresh Dispute A new maritime filing by Iraq to the United Nations has reignited a long-running sea border disagreement with Kuwait. Baghdad submitted updated coordinates and a map outlining its claimed boundaries, prompting objections from Kuwait, which says the claim overlaps with waters it considers sovereign territory, including the Fasht al-Qaid and Fasht al-Aij shoals. The move has once again drawn attention to unresolved border questions in the northern Gulf, where shipping lanes and offshore resources make maritime lines particularly sensitive. Regional Support and Legal Arguments Several Gulf states swiftly voiced their backing for Kuwait. Saudi Arabia,…
US President Donald Trump has introduced a new global tariff set at ten percent. The tariff came into force after the Supreme Court blocked many of his earlier import taxes on Friday. Trump signed an executive order just hours after the ruling to impose the levy from 24 February. He later threatened to raise the tariff to fifteen percent but has not issued an official directive to increase the rate. The White House has not confirmed whether the higher rate will take effect. Emergency Powers and Rising Market Uncertainty The administration applies the levy under Section 122 of the 1974…
