AstraZeneca has agreed to sell some of its medicines at discounted prices to the US Medicaid program in exchange for relief from Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs. The British-based pharmaceutical company is the second major drugmaker, after Pfizer, to sign such an agreement with the White House. The deal forms part of Trump’s “most-favored-nation” pricing plan, which aims to match US drug prices with the lowest rates in other developed countries. “For years, Americans have paid the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs,” Trump said during an Oval Office announcement on Friday. “Now, we’re going to have the lowest.”…
Only four bottles of Asahi Super Dry remain at Ben Thai, a small restaurant in Tokyo’s Sengawacho district. Owner Sakaolath Sugizaki hopes for new deliveries soon, but suppliers reserve most stock for larger clients. Cyber-attack stops beer production nationwide Japan’s leading beer producer, Asahi, halted operations at most of its 30 factories last month after a cyber-attack. All facilities, including six breweries, have partially reopened, but computer systems remain offline. The company now processes orders and shipments manually with pen, paper, and fax machines, sharply reducing delivery volumes. Asahi supplies about 40% of Japan’s beer market, so bars, restaurants, and…
The United States has reached a new drug pricing agreement designed to help Medicaid patients afford essential medications.

This initiative is expected to reduce costs for low-income Americans who rely on Medicaid for healthcare. The program covers millions of Americans, including seniors, children, and those with disabilities. By lowering the price of critical…
The United States is seeing a rapid rise in green energy, signaling a significant shift toward a sustainable future. Renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and hydropower, are expanding at an unprecedented pace. Experts say this growth reflects strong government support, private investment, and public demand for cleaner energy. Solar power is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the U.S. Thousands of new solar farms have been built in multiple states, providing energy to millions of homes and businesses. Technological improvements and declining installation costs have made solar energy more accessible than ever. Companies and homeowners are increasingly adopting…

President Donald Trump has threatened to impose new 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, accusing Beijing of “very hostile” actions after it expanded restrictions on rare-earth exports. The announcement reignited trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies and sent Wall Street tumbling, with the S&P 500 dropping 2.7% and the Nasdaq falling 3.6%. Trump said the tariffs could take effect on 1 November “or sooner”, depending on how China responds. “Perhaps the time has come,” he wrote on Truth Social, calling the move “painful but good for the U.S.A.” The president also revealed plans for export controls on “any and…
“This technology is our future threat,” warns Serhiy Beskrestnov as he examines a recently captured Russian drone. Unlike traditional weapons, it uses artificial intelligence to locate and strike targets independently. Beskrestnov, a consultant for Ukraine’s defence forces, has analysed countless drones since the invasion began. This model stands apart. It neither sends nor receives signals, making it impossible to jam or detect. Both Russian and Ukrainian forces now deploy AI in combat. They use it to track enemy positions, process intelligence, and clear mines faster than ever before. AI becomes a decisive tool on the front Artificial intelligence has become…
Researchers say they’ve developed the world’s first reliable blood test for diagnosing myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The University of East Anglia and Oxford Biodynamics study identified a unique DNA-folding pattern in ME/CFS patients not seen in healthy people. The test showed 92% sensitivity and 98% specificity in trials involving 47 patients and 61 controls. “This could transform diagnosis and management,” said lead researcher Prof Dmitry Pshezhetskiy. “Patients have waited years for recognition.” The test uses epigenetic markers that change over time, not fixed genetic code, said OBD’s chief scientist Alexandre Akoulitchev. Experts, however, urged caution. “The results…
