UK lays out defence plan with drones, self-flying fighter jets, no-crew submarines

Self-flying fighter jets, uncrewed submarines and drones will be at the centre of Britain’s future military under a defence plan announced on Tuesday that reflects a world of conflicts transformed by technology. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain would spend almost £300 billion (US$397 billion) over the next four years to modernise its armed forces amid rising threats. Starmer, expected to leave office next month after losing the support of Labour MPs, announced an increase in defence...

After triggering price war, DeepSeek reverses course with surcharge on peak-hour API use

Chinese artificial intelligence unicorn DeepSeek is introducing peak-hour surcharges for its API services, bucking a fierce domestic price war it helped start, in which rivals have been aggressively undercutting each other to capture market share. The Chinese AI champion will double the price for access to its V4 AI models through its application programming interface (API) during peak hours – 9am to noon and 2pm to 6pm Beijing time – according to an email sent to service subscribers on Monday..

Malaysia enlists military veterans to boot bullies out of schools: ‘you touch, you go’

Malaysia will deploy military veterans as full-time hostel wardens at a group of elite boarding schools from Wednesday, in a new push to curb bullying after a series of abuse cases stirred widespread public anger over student safety. The first 16 former Malaysian Armed Forces personnel will report for duty at eight Mara Junior Science Colleges, in a move reminiscent of Netflix’s hit K-drama Teach You a Lesson, where a Special Ops veteran takes on school bullies. Mara Junior Science Colleges are.

LLMs changed the world, but could they be the next Airline industry?

I don't think anyone would deny that LLMs are hugely useful for a ton of tasks (coding, customer service, translation & editing services). Looking back historically towards similar industries, no one would deny that air travel has similarly changed the world for the better. But I can't help but wonder if LLM companies could end up like Airlines. Note, I'm not talking about Nvidia or other hardware companies. Airbus itself has been consistently profitable for the last 25 years. I think there are

Nepal’s bird flu outbreak spreads, breeding pandemic mutation fears

Nepal has culled more than 600,000 birds and destroyed around 1 million eggs as an H5N1 bird flu outbreak spreads across the Kathmandu Valley, shutting the capital’s only zoo and raising fears among scientists over the virus’ potential to mutate into a form transmissible between humans. The outbreak began in eastern Nepal in March before reaching the densely populated valley around mid-June – a development that health experts say raises the risk of human exposure. More than 60 poultry farms...

How Philippine ube farming can cash in on ‘purple gold rush’

Esmeraldo Maligsa, a farmer and president of the Bohol Ube Growers Association, harvests 2,000kg (4,400lbs) of ube, the purple tuber native to the Philippines, every seven months. He and the other farmers in his group manage a collective yield of between 5 tonnes and 8 tonnes, fetching prices of 90 to 100 pesos (US$1.50 to US$1.70) per kg. Such is the price the ubi kinampay, dubbed the “Queen of Philippine yams”, fetches. It is grown in Bohol province and nearby areas in central Philippines, and

How South Korea’s AI megaprojects aim to ‘maintain edge’ over China, meet demand

South Korea’s US$518 billion semiconductor push aims to tap the artificial intelligence boom into a durable industrial advantage and keep up with leading rival China, according to observers. The plan is intended to secure supplies of advanced memory chips needed for AI data centres and computing infrastructure, while easing pressure on the Seoul metropolitan area by creating a second major chipmaking base in the country’s southwest. President Lee Jae Myung on Monday unveiled the government’s...

The AI Power Boom Is Reopening the Public Utility Debate

Following the June 2026 primary elections in NYC, in which democratic socialist Mayor Mamdani’s preferred slate enjoyed considerable electoral success, much has been written about the political implications. Our take is really simple. The last time the democratic socialists gained power, especially in major US cities, many of their policies were adopted by Progressives or New Dealers. In either case, that meant a far more intrusive regulatory environment for utilities. The Progressives laid the

EU sets October deadline for ‘tangible results’ on China imbalances after key trade talks

In a bid to cool searing trade tensions, the European Union and China have launched a new ministerial-level platform for solving grievances, with Brussels insisting that disputes over trade imbalances, export controls and intellectual property must deliver “tangible results” by October. On Monday, in the middle of marathon talks in the Belgian capital, the sides issued a rare joint statement, in which they announced four initial workstreams, focused on trade and investment balancing, export...

What signal is China sending with first official footage of sixth-generation fighter?

China’s military apparently released the first official footage of its sixth-generation fighter over the weekend – a move that analysts said might suggest Beijing was ahead of its competitors, including the US, in developing the next generation of warplanes. China Military Bugle, the official press account of the People’s Liberation Army, published a four-minute video on Sunday marking the 10th anniversary of China’s first heavy transport aircraft, the Y-20, entering service. In the video’s...

AI is not a sector it’s a capital rotation ladder from chips to apps (with ETFs for every layer)

I don’t really see AI as a single sector. To me, it’s more like a supply chain where money slowly rotates down the stack. It usually starts with compute, basically chips. That’s NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, names like that. This is the stage where sentiment is strongest and the market is mostly pricing in expectations. The ETFs here are usually SMH or SOXX. This is basically the first wave of the AI trade. Then the money tends to move into data centers. Stuff like SMCI, Dell, Equinix. At this
