A roadmap for nutrition and sustainability By 2050, every person could access nutritious, culturally appropriate food while reducing environmental harm. The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets From Sustainable Food Systems presents the “planetary health diet” as a solution. The report finds that combining this diet with sustainable agriculture and reduced food waste could feed 9.6 billion people fairly. Experts from over 35 countries contributed, showing that global food-related greenhouse gas emissions could fall by more than half if nations take coordinated action. Currently, roughly 30% of emissions come from producing, processing, and transporting food. Most of the rest comes…

A new investigation claims TikTok recommends pornography and sexualised content to minors. Researchers created fake child accounts, activated safety settings, and still received explicit search suggestions. These included clips showing masturbation simulations and pornographic sex.

The platform did not request further identification. Investigators activated TikTok’s “restricted mode”. The company promotes this feature as a filter…

The sunscreen scandal in Australia continues to worsen. Regulators have already removed 18 products from shelves due to safety concerns. Popular sunscreens fail to deliver protection In June, a consumer advocacy group revealed that several well-known sunscreens did not meet their advertised protection. Ultra Violette’s Lean Screen Skinscreen claimed SPF 50+ but tested at only SPF 4. The company voluntarily recalled it in August. The medicines regulator has since flagged 20 more sunscreens from various brands. All used the same base formula, which testing showed to be unreliable. Testing shows dangerously low SPF Preliminary investigations revealed the formula rarely exceeded…
Donald Trump renewed his threat to impose a 100% tariff on all films produced outside the United States. He claimed foreign countries had “stolen” the American film industry. On Monday, he said California suffered most and the tariff would “solve this long-time, never-ending problem.” In May, Trump announced plans to meet Hollywood executives and start imposing the levy. He warned that America’s film industry was dying “a very fast death.” His comments follow a new wave of tariffs last week, including a 100% levy on branded or patented drug imports and 50% levies on kitchen and bathroom cabinets. California faces…
Insider threats rank among the most dangerous tactics in cyber-crime. Few employees face them, and even fewer speak openly about their experiences. I recently became one of those rare cases.

They contacted me in July via Signal, an encrypted messaging app. I did not know them, but I immediately understood…

The prime minister said the government is working nonstop on a support package for suppliers. Smaller firms in the supply chain face a growing risk of collapse if the shutdown continues. Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer described the situation as…
President Donald Trump has unveiled a wide-ranging package of tariffs on imported goods. From October 1, branded and patented medicines entering the United States will face a 100 percent duty unless companies operate factories on American soil. The plan also introduces a 25 percent tariff on heavy-duty trucks and a 50 percent levy on kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Trump presented the measures on Thursday, saying they are necessary to protect US manufacturers. On Truth Social, he said a “flood” of imports has harmed domestic producers.
