- Warner has officially rejected Paramount’s hostile takeover bid, calling the proposal “illusory” and raising serious doubts about the credibility of its financing. The board says the offer fails to deliver clear value for shareholders.
Paramount’s bid is being driven by Chief Executive David Ellison, whose family is the majority shareholder, but Warner remains unconvinced the structure or funding stack up. Paramount, however, insists its proposal is shareholder-friendly and says it could sweeten the deal before the expiry deadline.
Regulatory uncertainty and the risk of significant job losses are also looming large, adding further pressure to an already tense media showdown.

- OpenAI vs Apple: Sam Altman says AI’s future will be decided by devices

- Description
- Sam Altman has revealed that Apple is now OpenAI’s biggest long-term competitor, signalling an escalating battle for dominance in the future of artificial intelligence. He argues the next frontier won’t be software alone, but the hardware that AI ultimately lives inside.
Altman believes today’s smartphones simply aren’t built for the era of AI companions. That’s why OpenAI has quietly been building its own hardware strategy — and the company has reportedly recruited more than 40 Apple engineers to make it happen.
This talent shift raises major questions about Apple’s AI roadmap, as OpenAI prepares to launch its next model to keep its lead in the fast-moving space.

- Senior U.S. officials insist they are not forcing Ukraine into a peace deal it doesn’t want, instead emphasising the need to protect Ukraine’s long-term independence. They say Washington remains committed to Ukraine’s sovereignty.
However, diplomatic trust between the U.S. and European nations is slipping. A new U.S. strategy suggests European leaders may have unrealistic expectations about how and when the war could end.
These growing fractures highlight a widening gap in Western unity, raising questions about the future direction of support for Ukraine and the broader geopolitical landscape.

- Australia becomes the first country to ban social media for under-16s

- Description
- Australia has made history, becoming the first country to ban social media access for children under 16. From midnight, platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram will be blocked for young users across the nation. The move marks one of the strongest regulatory actions ever taken on youth online safety.
The new law requires ten major digital platforms to comply or face fines of up to A$49.5 million. The decision comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on children’s mental health, with other countries watching closely as they consider similar measures.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the ban is designed to support young Australians and reduce harmful pressures created by constant digital engagement. While platforms are preparing to use age-inference technology to comply, critics warn the ban could isolate vulnerable teens.

- Description
- The U.S. Federal Reserve is entering a critical period as it prepares for President Donald Trump’s upcoming nominee to lead the central bank. Markets are closely watching how the Fed will navigate this leadership transition amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
The Fed's two-day meeting could result in a modest quarter-percentage-point rate cut. However, future policy decisions will hinge on key economic projections and inflation trends, leaving analysts debating how much room the central bank really has to maneuver.
Trump is pushing for lower interest rates to boost the housing market before the midterms, but this could complicate the next Fed chair's path. Data delays from the recent government shutdown may also affect the Fed’s decision-making this week, adding another layer of uncertainty.

- Description
- Paramount has launched a staggering $108.4 billion hostile bid to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, shaking up the media landscape. The proposal, supported by Jared Kushner’s investment firm and Middle Eastern funds, offers $18 billion more in cash than Netflix’s recent $72 billion deal for the same assets.
Warner Bros’ board is currently reviewing the Paramount offer but continues to recommend the Netflix deal. Analysts warn that a merger of this scale could face intense antitrust scrutiny, potentially delaying or even blocking the deal.
Paramount argues that its acquisition would boost competition and provide stronger support for the creative community, promising a new chapter in Hollywood consolidation.

- Description
- In a landmark ruling, the European Union has imposed a €120 million fine on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, citing violations of new digital regulations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This fine underscores the EU’s increasing scrutiny of tech giants and sets the stage for a potential clash between Elon Musk, the European Commission, and even political figures like former President Trump.
Chris Berg from RMIT University joins us to break down the reasons behind the fine, including X’s controversial handling of the blue tick verification system, and what this means for transparency and user rights on digital platforms.
We also explore the broader implications of this ruling for other tech platforms like TikTok and how the EU is asserting its regulatory authority on an international stage.
