As protests against Tesla grow and sales plummet, the company’s stock has lost about 40% of its value since the start of the year. This week, President Trump personally intervened on behalf of ... continua

Whether they combine unlikely flavors or take on artistic forms, exceptional chocolates flatter the eye as much as the palate. Some chocolatiers are considered true cocoa jewelers. Like Patrick Roger, elected Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2000, whose creations are the expression of every desire and every fantasy.

The possibilities are endless, from the culinary to the cosmetic and pharmacological.

President Trump has announced a 90-day pause on new tariffs for most countries and a steep increase to tariffs on China. The 125% tariff rate on China comes after China retaliated in an escalating trade war between the two largest economies in the world. For most other countries, a 10% tariff remains in place, but higher tariffs were paused just hours after they went into effect, causing global stock markets to shoot back up after a historic plunge. We speak with two economists, Nancy Qian and Joseph Stiglitz, about the “chaos” of the week since Trump’s initial ... continua

Since October 2023, Israel has killed over 3,700 people in Lebanon, with most of the deaths occurring over the past 10 weeks. The attacks have forced more than 1 million people to flee their homes in Lebanon, where Israel has also repeatedly targeted journalists. In a new report, Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of committing an apparent war crime by killing three journalists and injuring four others last month, when it bombed the Hasbaya Village Resort in southern Lebanon, where more than a dozen journalists had been staying. The attack killed Ghassan Najjar and ... continua

Tuam, a name that traumatised the whole of Ireland in the spring of 2014, when an unimaginable story was revealed. A hidden mass grave containing the remains of some 800 children was discovered on the former grounds of a home for single mothers, a hell on earth where children died from ill treatment, and were shamefully buried in secret and forgotten.
