Meloni after NATO summit: "I regret nothing" about her relationship with Trump

New Mazda CX-5 bets on driving pleasure and analogue controls over touchscreens

The new Mazda CX-5 stands out by embracing the "jinba ittai" philosophy — unity between driver and car — rather than overwhelming the cabin with screens and software. While most modern SUVs resemble smartphones on wheels, Mazda opts for physical controls and driver-focused ergonomics. The reviewer praises the CX-5 as a rare island of normality in an increasingly digitised car market.

Should carmakers replace touchscreens with physical buttons in new cars?

Ozempic and Wegovy dosing mistakes behind thousands of poison control calls

Calls to US poison control centres involving semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) soared after the drug was approved for weight management. Researchers found that the increase was driven by accidental dosing mistakes rather than intentional misuse. Basic patient education about the weekly dosing schedule and gradual dose escalation could prevent most of these avoidable incidents.

Should Ozempic manufacturers be held responsible for patients' dosing mistakes?

Fed warns AI boom sustains inflation pressure, complicating rate decisions

US Federal Reserve policymakers have warned that strong demand for AI infrastructure will likely sustain upward pressure on prices for technology products and electricity, feeding broader inflation. This complicates the Fed's next interest rate decision, as AI-driven demand becomes a new inflation driver. Central banks are increasingly factoring the AI investment boom into their monetary policy frameworks.
