Recently, Palantir – a tech corporation that boasts no fewer than five billionaire executives – announced its Q2 earnings: over a billion dollars generated in a single quarter. Forty-eight per cent growth in its business compared with the same quarter last year, including 93% growth in its US commercial business. These elephantine numbers are maddening – and, in large part, a result of the company fully embracing AI.The AI revolution is here and, as its proponents remind us daily, it will remake our world, making every company and government agency more efficient and less error-prone while helping us unlock hitherto…

Korean-American auteur Kogonada has until now been known for his intriguingly complex, cerebral essayistic movies, such as Columbus and After Yang, whose emotional content, though potent, isn’t immediately obvious. Now he has made the leap into a big, bold, primary-coloured romantic phantasmagoria, as if Chris Marker had remade The Umbrellas of Cherbourg for the American multiplex with two unfeasibly beautiful Hollywood stars. This is a musical without musical numbers (without its own musical numbers, anyway) and a romantic comedy mostly without comedy – an imbalance it shares with most romcoms in fact. The screenwriter is Seth Reiss, co-author of the…

Perhaps the Kenyan market town of Nanyuki’s greatest claim to fame was that it straddles the equator. But now it has become synonymous with something darker. It was here where Agnes Wanjiru was born and lived and where she was brutally killed.Her family searched for her for months before her body was found stuffed into a septic tank at the same hotel where she had last been seen alive.Agnes was raised by her mother, Lydiah Wanjiku Kimotho, who did what her family affectionately referred to as “side hustle jobs” such as farming while bringing up her five children.The eldest child,…

111 The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced plans to adopt the global sustainability disclosure standards developed by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).

The Director-General of SEC, Dr. Emomotimi Agama, disclosed this over the weekend at an investors’ roundtable on the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). He explained that Nigeria played a role in the development of the standards through its participation in IOSCO’s task force and is therefore well positioned to embrace the framework.

Colony Incorporated, a Liberian-owned company and current leaseholder of the former Palm Spring Hotel in Congo Town, has strongly objected to fresh enforcement measures ordered by the Debt Court of Montserrado County. The action follows a Supreme Court ruling in favor of Chinese businesswoman Ms. Ding Shu Jun, awarding US$1,355,886.00 against businessman Mr. Najib Kamand. Colony Incorporated insists, however, that it was never a party to the case and that its leased property is being wrongfully targeted. “We are not part of this case,” the company emphasized, noting that the Palm Springs property was legally leased to Colony Incorporated on…

Nearly two years into Israel’s war on Gaza, a United Nations fact-finding mission has delivered its most damning verdict yet: genocide. Navi Pillay, chairwoman of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, says Israeli leaders’ statements and the destruction on the ground prove intent. Speaking to Hashem Ahelbarra in Geneva, she explains the commission’s findings, what legal consequences Israel could face and what must happen next. As famine sets in and civilian casualties mount, Pillay outlines why this report could mark a turning point in international accountability – and whether the UN will be able…

With international demand growing for clean maritime fuels, Namibia is set to become a green hydrogen hub for global shipping corridors. Ian Dupont, the deputy head of mission for the European Union delegation, says there are indirect benefits to green hydrogen production in the country, one of which is the production of green ammonia. “What hydrogen is great for is producing green ammonia, which can be a green shipping fuel.
