The unqualified TikTokkers transforming how young people invest
On April 8, with stock markets in turmoil after Donald Trump’s announcement of global trade tariffs, Liam Dixon was feeling optimistic. “Nvidia, it’s down 32 per cent in the last three months,” he said in a video posted on TikTok that has had 1.8 million views and 76,700 likes. “The average price was $136 to $140 per share — yesterday it was $86 and I missed that opportunity.

What to Know About the First U.K. Local Elections Under Keir Starmer
The Liberal Democrats and the Greens also hope to advance. The Liberal Democrat leader, Ed Davey, says his aim is “to replace the Conservatives as the party of Middle England.” The Greens say they expect to win left-wing Labour voters disappointed with the government. The big winner, he predicts, will be Reform with 400 to 450 gains. If Reform do as well as expected, it will give them momentum but also their first taste of local power, testing their ability to govern. Labour is at no risk of losing power nationally — the next general election is years away.

Poll Have you heard about Indore being the cleanest city in India? Far from the stereotypical image of Indian cities, Indore greeted him with clean, litter-free streets and a sense of order rarely expected by foreigners. What he didn’t realize at first was that Indore has been awarded the title of India’s cleanest city for seven years in a row.Often referred to as the " Singapore of India ," Indore has changed and revolutionised urban living standards in the country. All this has been possible because of a strong civic planning and community involvement, the city has created a working model for cleanliness and sustainability.

UK local elections test big two parties
Live Events'Tough'(You can now subscribe to our(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channelLondon: Polls opened in local elections Thursday tipped to inflict losses on the UK's two main parties and confirm the rise of hard-right populists, portending the splintering of a century-long political duopoly.The polls in England are the first since Keir Starmer became Labour prime minister and Kemi Badenoch took over at the helm of the struggling opposition Conservatives last year.The anti-immigrant Reform UK party is expected to make gains, as are the centrist Liberal Democrats and left-wing Greens, confirming a trend that Britain is entering an era of multi-party politics. "British politics appears to be fragmenting," political scientist John Curtice wrote in the Telegraph this week, adding that the polls "will likely be the first in which as many as five parties are serious players".British politics have been dominated by the centre-left Labour party and centre-right Tories since the early 20th century. But last year's general election and recent opinion polls show a shift towards greater pluralism.Surveys show Britons are disillusioned with the two establishment parties amid anaemic economic growth, high levels of irregular immigration and flagging public services.Labour won a parliamentary majority in July with just 33.7 percent of the vote, the lowest share for any party winning a general election since World War II.The Conservatives won just 24 percent of the vote, securing only 121 seats in the 650-seat parliament as the party endured its worst-ever election defeat.Reform UK, led by Eurosceptic politician Nigel Farage, picked up five seats, an unprecedented haul for a British hard-right party, while the Liberal Democrats won 61 more MPs than at the previous election and the Greens quadrupled their representation to four.Those results mean "fragmentation is baked in" to Thursday's council, mayoral, and single parliamentary vote, according to political scientist Rob Ford. "For the big parties, it's like the couple who are having to wrestle with the duvet that's too small," said Ford. "Wherever they pull the duvet, they're going to get exposed somewhere."

U.K. Joins U.S. in Strike Against Houthis in Yemen
Britain’s military carried out a joint operation with U.S. forces against the Houthi militia in Yemen, officials said on Wednesday, in the first such strike since President Trump re-entered the White House and stepped up attacks on the Iran-backed group. There was no immediate comment from the American military about the operation, which the British Defense Ministry said early Wednesday was carried out overnight “to degrade Houthi capabilities and prevent further attacks against U.K. and international shipping.”Typhoon jets using precision guided bombs took part in the mission, the ministry said in a statement, adding that the strike took place “after dark” to minimize the risk to civilians. The target was “a cluster of buildings, used by the Houthis to manufacture drones of the type used to attack ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, located some 15 miles south of Sana,” the statement added, referring to the Yemeni capital. Speaking in Parliament, the British defense secretary, John Healey, said that the planned targets “were all successfully hit and we have seen no evidence of civilian casualties.”

What to Know as a Loophole That Let Shoppers Buy Cheap Chinese Goods Closes
Instead, de minimis goods require only a name and an address. As of Friday, de minimis shipments from China will be classified as “informal entry” imports. Informal entry goods, which can be worth up to $2,500, do not require a recipient’s Social Security number, Customs and Border Protection said in a statement. Still, the agency said in January that carriers often require Social Security numbers because having them speeds up clearance through customs. DHL said it would not require Social Security numbers on informal entry shipments.

Steven Finn column: 'Times have changed, one clip can earn an England call-up'
I see bowlers in the domestic game who have the raw materials to be international players. Baker, Turner and others who have the attributes to trouble the best batters will know that one performance, even one spell, might be enough to earn them a call-up. I was bowling quickly, had bowled nicely in a white-ball series in India, getting good players out, and had just had a good T20 World Cup. To me, Test cricket was the pinnacle and I would have done anything to get a spot in that England team. How exciting it must be to be a player now with the potential to succeed in international cricket.

UK strikes Houthis in Yemen for first time since Trump’s return
British fighter jets struck Houthi targets in Yemen on Tuesday evening for the first time since President Trump returned to the White House.
