Many American states, particularly close to the northern border, benefit from trade with the Canadian economy. One of the areas this is most evident is in the integration of the electrical grids of the two countries. For some border states, purchasing Canadian hydroelectric power is an essential part of their strategy to maintain a stable, cost-effective, and climate-friendly energy grid.

In his first sit-down television interview the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, claimed that he was "not familiar" with the ongoing cuts to state and local public health programs, adding that any cuts were "mainly" related to diversity, equity, and inclusion programmes. Recorded for CBS News just before he attended the funeral of an 8 year old who died of measles, he said, "People should get the measles vaccine, but the government should not be mandating those." Kennedy then added, "We don't know the risks of many of these products because they're not safety tested." Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, has called for Kennedy to resign, citing "implicit and explicit bias and complete disregard for science." The Trump administration has rescinded the scientific integrity policy of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), previously intended to protect research from political influence.

"I'm going to be announcing it over the next week," he told the White House press pool reporters, commenting on the upcoming tariffs on semiconductor imports. Earlier, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that Washington had temporarily exempted imports of electronics and semiconductor devices from "reciprocal tariffs", since the US administration intended to introduce separate sectoral duties on them in the coming months.

Many people are having fun making Studio Ghibli-style images with OpenAI's ChatGPT. I see it as copy-and-paste intellectual property stealing on an industrial level.

[author: Roslynn Ampomah]. With demand for reliable energy sources on the increase, more than 20 African states have signalled interest in developing nuclear power programmes. Nuclear power presents itself as an attractive, carbon-free alternative to fossil fuel power generation and, although it requires significant capital outlay, there is less need for real estate compared to hydro-power, for example.
