Donald Trump moved to lower tariffs on food imports, including beef, tomatoes, coffee and bananas, in an executive order on Friday as the White House fights off growing concerns about rising costs.The new exemptions take effect retroactively at midnight on Thursday and mark a sharp reversal for Trump, who has long insisted that his import duties are not fueling inflation. They come after a string of victories for Democrats in state and local elections in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City, where affordability was a key topic.Earlier Friday, the president had claimed on Truth Social that “costs under the…

The UK is undermining its legacy in fighting infectious diseases including Aids and malaria by cutting money pledged to a leading global health fund, campaigners claim.The 15% reduction in the contribution to the Global Fund for Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced this week – in a year when the UK, alongside South Africa, is co-host of the fund’s replenishment drive – risks encouraging other countries to cut back commitments as well, advocates fear.The government announced a £850m commitment to the fund on Tuesday, down from £1bn in the last round.Campaigners called on the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, to show…

Over the years, plenty of forgettable movies have been hawked in the hallways of the American Film Market, but there have also been some indelible classics — among the most notable, Wong Kar-wai’s swooningly seductive In the Mood for Love, which has consistently topped critics’ polls as one of the best films of all time. Set in 1960s Hong Kong — though it was actually shot in neighboring Macau and Bangkok over the course of a year — the film stars Tony Leung as Mr. Chow and Maggie Cheung as Mrs. Chan, neighbors in a crowded and shadowy apartment building…

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data.Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like superposition and entanglement — to process and store data in a form beyond the 0s and 1s that are digital bits. These “quantum bits” — or qubits — could open up massive computing power.That means quantum computers may solve complex problems that have stymied scientists for decades, such as modeling the behavior of subatomic particles or cracking the “traveling salesman” problem, which aims to calculate the shortest trip between a bunch…

When my husband and I decided to honeymoon in Japan and South Korea, I had one requirement for the itinerary: to visit an island, either Okinawa (Japan) or Jeju (Korea). With just two weeks of travel time and many other plans packed into our itinerary, Jeju quickly became the frontrunner given its ease of access. Only a one-hour flight from the South Korean city of Busan, Jeju is often described as the “Hawaii of Korea” (much like Okinawa is shorthanded as the “Hawaii of Japan”—though that island requires a three-hour flight from cities like Osaka to access). I quickly became…

Ukraine has recorded a threefold increase in the number of attacks on its railway system since July, according to a senior minister, as Moscow seeks to scupper one of Kyiv’s key logistical systems.Oleksii Kuleba, a deputy prime minister with responsibility for infrastructure, said attacks on the network since the start of 2025 had caused damage totalling $1bn (£760m).“If you compare just the last three months, attacks have increased three times over,” Kuleba said. “Since the beginning of the year there have been 800 attacks on railway infrastructure, and more than 3,000 railway objects have been damaged. What we have seen…

FKA TwigsVariety via Getty ImagesFKA Twigs isn’t done living in Eusexua just yet. The avant-garde songstress kicked off this year with her third studio album inspired by the thumping beats of European nightclubs, and now, she’s closing out the year with Eusexua Afterglow, an appropriately titled new album first conceived as an deluxe version of the original. Simply put, both Twigs and her fans wanted more from her mind after first hearing Eusexua and continuing to live in that world throughout the year, including on her Eusexua Tour across Europe in the spring. “I can’t explain it. Sometimes you put…

ESPN, ABC and other Disney TV networks are coming back to YouTube TV. Google and Disney finally ended their standoff, announcing a multiyear agreement Friday on pricing and terms for a renewed carriage deal for YouTube TV. Disney’s nets went dark on the internet TV service just before midnight ET on Thursday, Oct. 30, after the two sides remained far apart on a deal before the expiration of the previous contract. Under the new agreement, ESPN’s full lineup of sports — including content from ESPN Unlimited — will be made available on YouTube TV to base-plan subscribers at no additional…
