So, according to a new national security strategy document released by the White House last week, I appear to be living on a continent that faces civilizational erasia. >> Yeah. >> It's absolutely astonishing to me that it's got so far that the US considers the civilization it's defending not as a series of values, but as as just about, let's be brutal, skin color and religion.What does Europe do when confronting a power that has the aim of causing racial war. That's the echo we all hear when they say we mu ...

This video shows the moment a Colombian woman was arrested at a daycare center in Chicago on the 5th of November following what ICE called a targeted traffic stop. In a statement defending the arrest, the Department of Homeland Security said the woman's car was registered to a female illegal alien. But that made me wonder, how would they know that.They had to link vehicle registration data, which is held by the states, with citizenship data, which is held by the federal government. Documents show that ICE c ...

In this episode, FT chief economics commentator Martin Wolf and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman discuss what the impact of this new U ...

Netflix's $83 billion bid for parts of Warner Brothers Discovery is a real plot twist. It's a big number even for a company like Netflix that's worth about $440 billion. But it's also from a company that doesn't really do big deals like this.Netflix has tended to try and build its own stuff rather than buying other people's. So why on earth would Netflix want to make such a big strategic swerve. Well, the answer is brands.Netflix by buying Warner Brothers Discovery is going to get some really big brands tha ...

We're here in the heart of London. Behind me is the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Over this way is the city and to my right is the site of China's controversial new mega embassy to the UK.Royal Mint Court used to be where the UK struck coins, but China bought the site in 2018. So why is it taken so long to reach a decision on whether the embassy project can go ahead. One issue is the size.The 5acre site will host one of the biggest embassies of any country anywhere in Europe with a visa center, a cultur ...

Earlier this week, HSBC finally appointed its chair, and it wasn't who we were expecting. The bank had narrowed down its list of candidates to two, but then decided in a lastminute decision to stick with its interim chair, Brendan Nelson. It capped off a chaotic process that the bank had led, which showed that it didn't really have any succession planning.Is Brendan Nelson the right man for the job. Well, he's been on the board since 2023 and he has extensive financial services experience, but he's never be ...

So, a winner has been named. We've just come from hearing that Steven Witz, the thinking machine about Nvidia is the business book of the year 2025. Why do the judges led by you pick that book.>> Nvidia is beautifully written. It's very well researched. It's the story of our time. It's the most valuable company of an incredibly driven [music] uh man who built it.>> This one stood out to me and I think this was probably one of the things that the judges thought as well, at least the journalists among the jud ...

Do men in America have a genuine and legitimate economic grievance. >> Yes.I mean that's really clear um that something has gone wrong for the economic role of men uh in America and actually um you can see elements of this across the western world. You can see it in in kind of raw numbers. Um, if you go back 60 years, um, men in their prime years, um, uh, I guess I'm Miss Gene Grody.I'm no longer in my prime, but the, uh, 25 to 54, essentially all of them were in the wo ...
