Joanne Froggatt shares ‘fears’ for one-year-old daughter

Published by Daniella Wilson

Downton Abbey star Joanne Froggatt has shared some ultra-rare comments about her one-year-old daughter she welcomed in 2024. The British actress, 46, has opened up about being a working mum in the industry, as well as her fears for her little one, given the state of social media and the pressures that fall on women.  Talking on Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show, she said of being a working mum: “I’m in an industry that is in some ways fantastic for being a working mum and in some ways not because you have to be away from home and then you have to make the decision. ” You know my daughter is so young, I don’t want to be away from her so we are travelling together. But there’s a huge amount of logistics that go with that as well.” Joanne continued, adding that long periods being at home is a blessing in comparison to working a corporate job. © Getty ImagesJoanne welcomed her little girl in October 202 “It is an industry where I would …

Thune “Open To Exploring” Diesel Export Ban As Skyrocketing Prices Raise Fears Of 2008-Style Shock

Thune “Open To Exploring” Diesel Export Ban As Skyrocketing Prices Raise Fears Of 2008-Style Shock

Published by Jenni Sidey

Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters this morning that he is “open to exploring” a diesel export ban as AAA’s national average price for the industrial fuel continues to set new highs, now topping $6.27 a gallon. *THUNE SAYS HE IS ‘OPEN TO CONSIDERING’ AN EXPORT BAN ON DIESEL — zerohedge (@zerohedge) September 15, 2026 His comments follow a warning yesterday from Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone that surging fuel prices are signaling the risk of a 2008-style energy shock. “We’ll be looking at any proposal that is a viable solution, but I do think if we have the supply in this country and we’re exporting it right now that might be one way of getting at it,” Thune told reporters, who were quoted by Bloomberg, in response to a question. “If that would take pressure off of prices, you know I’m open to exploring it.“ Any broad diesel ban by the US would initially lower Gulf Coast wholesale prices while driving overseas diesel prices even higher, as the world is engulfed in a …

Kremlin issues horror threat of ‘nuclear strike’ on Poland as WW3 fears explode | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

A key member of the Kremlin has warned a European capital would “disappear” if the country launches military action against Russia in an apparent nuclear strike threat. Russian Presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said if Warsaw started military operations against Russia, Poland could soon cease to exist as a state “in a few days,” Russian newspaper Izvestia reported. According to the newspaper, Patrushev said: “If Poland enters into military operations against Russia, our country will use the entire arsenal of its available forces and means, and Polish statehood will cease to exist in 2-3 days.” These comments came after the recent Russian drone attack on a railway line in western Ukraine, which hit a train near the Polish border. Former PM Boris Johnson was travelling towards Poland after attending a security conference in Kyiv when the incident occurred. He is understood to have escaped unharmed. Former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt was among those on the train with Mr Johnson. “This wasn’t our train [that was hit], but the one just minutes after us by the …

NATO fighter jets intercept drone over Lithuania as Russia WW3 fears explode | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

NATO fighter jets have been scrambled above Lithuania tonight to intercept a drone. Lithuania’s president Gitanas Nausėda wrote on X: “A drone that just entered Lithuanian airspace was destroyed by NATO fighter jets. I thank Allied personnel for their swift response. “With Russia intensifying its aggression against Ukraine, such readiness is vital for our region. Together with our NATO Allies, Lithuania will defend its airspace.” Officials said the drone entered the Lithuania’s airspace from neighbouring Belarus, according to reports by LBC News. An emergency alert was sent to mobile phones in Vilnius, Trakai and Elektrėnai shortly after midnight. Residents were warned of a potential aerial threat and urged to seek shelter. The country’s National Crisis Management Centre said the drone was destroyed around 30 minutes later. This is first time a drone has been shot down inside Lithuanian territory. Just one day earlier, Vilnius Airport was briefly shut over a suspected drone threat that was later found to have been caused by a flock of birds. Radar signatures from birds and drones can initially appear …

From injury fears to triumph, ‘everything aligned’ at US Open, says Rybakina

Published by Sam Flores

NEW YORK, Sept 12 : The stars aligned in Elena Rybakina’s favour for a U.S. Open triumph the Kazakh never expected on Saturday, as she leaves New York the champion and new world number one despite an injury that nearly derailed her campaign. Rybakina beat the twice defending champion Aryna Sabalenka for the trophy little more than three weeks after an ankle injury that forced her out of the Cincinnati tune-up tournament, raising serious questions over whether she would even compete in New York. “I was so upset. I didn’t know actually how it’s going to be day by day. We arrive in New York. We did MRI. It didn’t look that great. We had to talk with a lot of doctors to get opinions (on) what we should do,” she said. “For seven days I was just going from my hotel room to the gym, three hours there spending, a lot of recovery, treatments.” Fears over her fitness slowly melted away through a series of comprehensive victories, as she beat twice winner Naomi Osaka to …

OpenAI IPO will not happen in 2026 amid AI safety fears, Altman says

OpenAI IPO will not happen in 2026 amid AI safety fears, Altman says

Published by Sam Flores

LOS ANGELES, Sept 12 : OpenAI will not go public in 2026, CEO Sam Altman said in a Fortune interview published Saturday, citing safety concerns over artificial intelligence. “I actually think that, given everything happening with safety, right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public, and we don’t feel pressure on that,” Altman told Fortune. Growing numbers of U.S. lawmakers ​are calling for new rules to govern AI systems after dire warnings from two researchers from OpenAI rival Anthropic that rapidly progressing artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of the human race ‌in the not-too-distant future. The warnings follow cases of AI agents going rogue to hack external systems and AI ​safety researchers quitting their companies concerned about the technology’s risks. Politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, have responded with alarm and calls for more action. The New York Times in June reported that San Francisco-based OpenAI was considering whether to hold off on a potentially trillion-dollar IPO until next year. At the time, shares in Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO were tumbling after a surge that …

Anthropic CEO urges AI companies to slow model development amid fears over misuse

Anthropic CEO urges AI companies to slow model development amid fears over misuse

Published by Sam Flores

Sept 12 : Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on AI companies to moderate the rate at which they advance model capabilities amid mounting fears of misuse of artificial intelligence, outlining a three-step framework intended to pace development and create more time to manage its risks. “We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain,” Amodei said in an essay shared on X. His essay comes after Anthropic released a threat intelligence report on Thursday detailing how several actors had used its Claude AI models for activities ranging from weapons development and cyber operations to surveillance and fraud. Alarm about the potential harm from AI grew this week when Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned, stating that the “people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” Amodei clarified that he was not calling for halting model training or technical progress, but ensuring that companies take adequate time …
