Jaguar Land Rover has begun a phased restart of production after a major cyber-attack shut down its global operations.

Production resumes this week at sites in the West Midlands, including Wolverhampton, Hams Hall, Solihull, and Castle Bromwich. Plants in Nitra, Slovakia, will follow soon, with Halewood updates expected shortly. Chief executive Adrian Mardell called the restart “an important moment,” adding, “Our recovery is firmly under way.” JLR also launched a financing scheme to pay suppliers early, easing cashflow for small firms hit by…

Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine. They were honored for discovering how the immune system prevents attacks on the body’s own cells. Sakaguchi identified regulatory T-cells — “the brakes of the immune system,” said Prof Adrian Liston. Brunkow and Ramsdell found the FoxP3 gene, vital for these cells’ development and for preventing autoimmunity. Their work revealed how balance in the immune system protects against disease. “These discoveries transformed immunology,” said Prof Marie Wahren-Herlenius. The findings now guide treatments for autoimmune diseases, transplants, and cancer.
The United States has dominated the global technology market for decades. Now China is determined to change that. The world’s second-largest economy is investing billions in artificial intelligence and robotics. Its primary goal is to develop high-end chips that can rival the world’s best. Last month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that China was only “nanoseconds behind” the U.S. in chip development. Beijing is racing to close the gap and reduce its reliance on imported technology.

Newsom Promises Legal ChallengeGovernor Gavin Newsom announced Sunday that 300 California National Guard members are being deployed to Oregon under President Trump’s orders. He condemned the move as a federal overreach and stated that California will take legal action to block the deployment.

Judge Blocks Oregon DeploymentThe announcement comes after U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued a temporary restraining order halting 200 Oregon Guard members from being sent to Portland. The injunction, in effect until at least October 18, cited…
George Russell dominated the Singapore Grand Prix from pole to flag. “That’s how you do it,” he said after crossing the line. His Mercedes ran flawlessly, securing his second win of the season and boosting his contract talks. Behind him, chaos erupted at McLaren. Lando Norris forced his way past teammate Oscar Piastri at the start. “He just barged me out of the way,” Piastri shouted over the radio. Norris brushed it off. “Hard but fair,” he insisted. Russell led cleanly while Verstappen’s Red Bull settled into second. Norris held third, Piastri fourth. The McLaren garage fell silent. “We’ll review…
A roadmap for global food security By 2050, every person on Earth could eat nutritious, culturally appropriate food while safeguarding the planet. The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets From Sustainable Food Systems outlines how a “planetary health diet” could make this possible. The report finds that combining this diet with sustainable farming and reduced food waste could feed 9.6 billion people equitably. Experts from more than 35 countries contributed, showing that global food-related greenhouse gas emissions could fall by more than half if nations act together. Currently, about 30% of global emissions come from producing, processing, and transporting food.…
George Russell delivered one of the finest laps of his career to take pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix, strengthening his case as Mercedes continue talks over extending his contract. The Briton outpaced Max Verstappen by nearly two-tenths of a second at the Marina Bay circuit, with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris unable to match his pace in third and fifth. Verstappen, however, was furious after abandoning his final lap, blaming Norris for obstructing him on an in-lap. The world champion claimed he lost downforce in the closing corners while following the McLaren. “That is what happens when there…
