Long Beach’s bet on the Olympics to help reshape its economy has attracted at least one sportswear company to the port city. Speedo’s parent company, Pentland Brands, plans to move its North American headquarters from Orange County to Long Beach, which has emerged as a hub for aquatic sports for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Long Beach Councilman Daryl Supernaw said in an email to The Times he was “thrilled” for the company behind Speedo to move into his district, which encompasses neighborhoods around the Long Beach Airport. Advertisement“It is an ideal company to help diversify our economy and [reinforce] the City’s long history in aquatics,” Supernaw wrote. Long Beach in 2023 unveiled plans to spend over $900 million on infrastructure over the next five years, with about $200 million earmarked for Olympics-focused projects.

This achievement comes amid much discourse surrounding Sinners, particularly alongside another highlight of the 2025 film industry: Marty Supreme. I myself enjoyed both movies as well—although I preferred Sinners, the accolades that Marty Supreme recieved was not undeserved. Marty Supreme, by contrast, is treated with kid gloves, its underperformance reframed as promise, patience, and ‘long-term upside.’ Same outlet, same box-office math, wildly different conclusions. In this context, the anxious hedging around Sinners’ success feels less like neutral analysis and more like institutional habit. Hollywood is happy to benefit from Black audiences and Black labor, but far less comfortable acknowledging Black achievement without qualifiers, caveats, or a quiet shift of the goalposts.

The Boeing 747-8 jetliner gifted to the Donald Trump administration by the Qatari royal family is set to be delivered to Trump by this summer. Described as a “flying palace”, the estimated $400m gift to Trump last year drew widespread bipartisan backlash, with lawmakers voicing ethical concerns over Qatar’s motives and questioning the 13-year-old plane’s security measures. Last August, Trump asserted that the aircraft would be ready by February, a claim met with skepticism from defense and aviation experts due to the extensive modifications required. The decision to turn the plane around was made “out of an abundance of caution”, according to the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. After the return, Trump boarded Air Force C-32, a modified Boeing 757 usually used for domestic trips.

Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has welcomed reports of an expected Government u-turn on business rate increases for pubs – but has called for VAT to be reduced. Kerridge, whose business portfolio includes acclaimed Marlow restaurants The Hand and Flowers and The Coach, previously spoke out over the impact higher business rates for pubs would have on his hospitality businesses. The Government had announced a £4.3billion support package to provide relief to those seeing increases in business rates due to the changes. But this month, it has been widely reported that the Government is expected to change its business rate plans for pubs. Following reports of a u-turn, Kerridge said: “Obviously, the government’s u-turn is hugely appreciated by the industry.

What makes it even harder is they have such a good manager, who always lets his team play so well. We were in four versus three situations a few times and the one time we did find the player, it was fractionally offside. It took a while before we scored the second because I think we had chances earlier on to score the second. Usually this season this ball goes in and we’re all complaining, but now the ball went over, and we extended our lead to 2-0 and 3-0. The performance is still the same but the perspective of how people probably talk about us is completely different.”

TLDRFollowing floods and landslides in Indonesia’s Batang Toru ecosystem in November 2024, which wiped out up to 11% of the world’s Tapanuli orangutan population, the Indonesian government has announced measures to hold extractive companies accountable. The government revoked the permits of 28 companies, including mining and hydropower projects, and sued six companies for environmental damages. Conservationists have hailed these actions as desperately needed and urge further protection for the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan.

The pledge of cooperation by Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez before the Maduro raid has not been previously reported. View image in fullscreen Delcy Rodríguez in Caracas on 15 January 2026. It wasn’t until late fall that Delcy Rodríguez and her brother actually engaged in discussions with the US behind Maduro’s back. For Delcy Rodríguez, it was a delicate dance. When the US attack helicopters flew into Caracas in early January, Delcy Rodríguez was nowhere to be found.

The Very Revd Toby Wright, Dean of Wells, will be among those taking part in the challenge. "Monks in the Greek Islands use it as a spiritual discipline and it is both enormously good fun, and a great way to develop a can-do attitude. The event will include full training and a safety briefing from the Firewalk UK team. Gavin Osborn, fundraising manager for SWEDA, said: "This is our first event in Wells, and to have a firewalk right on the cathedral green is going to create a fantastic spectacle. SWEDA has supported people of all ages with eating disorders for more than 30 years.

I’m still not sure whether I’ve just attended a comedy night headlined by Ed Byrne, or an Ed Byrne show with not one, but two, support acts. Far from being short-changed, however, both of the supporting performers contributed unusually long sets before Byrne took to the stage. The Corn Hall in St Nicholas Street, Diss. Picture: Google MapsFirst up was Justin Panks, who had come all the way from Norwich to find out whether or not Diss was posh. With no disrespect intended to his supporting colleagues, Ed Byrne immediately took the evening up a notch.

In the past few days, Donald Trump turned the US presidency into a tool for his personal glory and vengeance. After being snubbed for last year’s award, Trump said he no longer felt the need “to think purely of peace”. Over the past year, the world watched Trump’s second term devolve into a brazen campaign of self-enrichment. But in his first term, Trump refused pressure to divest from his business ventures, and argued that his sons had taken control of the Trump Organization. In his second term, Trump has monetized the presidency to an astounding level.

Results on the pitch haven’t gone to plan this season, but for anyone seeking confirmation that Liverpool have firmly reestablished themselves as one of the financially dominant players in English and European football over the past decade the latest football rich list from Deloitte would seem to put proof to that. Having been a top ten mainstay through the Jürgen Klopp era, for the first time the Reds are listed as the top English club—though on this occasion that’s only good enough for fifth overall. Real Madrid and Barcelona top the list, unsurprisingly and once again, followed by Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Aston Villa, Newcastle, and West Ham also make it into the list, meaning the Premier League have nine of the 20 richest clubs in Europe at the moment. Spain and Germany have three, as does Italy—though no Italian side is in the top ten—with one for France and one, Benfica, for Portugal to round out the top twenty.
