The alerts will trigger when teens enter related terms multiple times in a short period. Meta integrates the feature into its Teen Account supervision tools. The company says the move strengthens online safety for young users. Previously, Instagram blocked dangerous search terms and directed users to external support services. Meta now adds direct notifications for parents to provide additional oversight. Families enrolled in Teen Accounts in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada will start receiving alerts next week.

Aston Martin will cut up to 20% of its workforce in a bid to save about £40m. The move could affect around 500 employees. The luxury carmaker confirmed the plan after reporting pre-tax losses of £363.9m for 2025. Losses stood at £289.1m the previous year.

Chief executive Adrian Hallmark called the cuts an important step toward a leaner structure. He said redundancies alone would not solve the company’s wider challenges. Aston Martin blamed…
Expanding France’s Nuclear Reach President Emmanuel Macron is set to deliver a major speech on France’s nuclear deterrent, proposing a more active role for European partners. Speaking from the Île Longue peninsula, home to France’s four nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, Macron will emphasize that this initiative complements, rather than competes with, the US nuclear umbrella. This will be his first address on nuclear deterrence since 2020, when he first suggested including willing European countries in joint exercises — an offer largely overlooked at the time. European Security Concerns Drive Interest Interest in France’s nuclear capabilities has grown amid global tensions.…

Netflix has four days to submit a counter-offer and did not comment immediately. Netflix Remains Cautious and Avoids Bidding War Talk…

US President Donald Trump has introduced a new global tariff set at ten percent. The tariff took effect after the Supreme Court blocked many of his earlier import taxes on Friday. Trump signed an executive order just hours after the ruling to impose the levy from 24 February. He later threatened to raise the tariff to fifteen percent but has not issued an official directive to increase the rate. The White House has not confirmed whether the higher rate will take effect. Emergency Powers and Market Instability The administration applies the levy under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act.…
Unlicensed gambling companies could lose the right to sponsor Premier League clubs under new government plans. Ministers have launched a consultation after a series of controversies and regulatory concerns. Several top-flight teams, including Everton, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently display brands linked to online casinos or bookmakers without a British licence. Clubs have already agreed to remove all front-of-shirt gambling sponsors from next season. That voluntary move will not cover sleeve deals or other partnerships. This gap allows offshore operators to keep marketing through English football if they avoid British customers. The government now wants to close that route with…
