Xiaomi Bets Big on Extended-Range EVs and Record Buybacks as Goldman Warns of 50% Profit Collapse
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is investing heavily in the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) market and is planning a record-breaking share buyback. However, Goldman Sachs warns that the second-quarter earnings report could result in a 50% slump in adjusted net profit. The company has received regulatory approval to produce EREVs, a critical expansion beyond the pure-electric SU7 sedan and YU7 SUV. The first model, codenamed "Kunlun N3", will launch under a new sub-brand called Skynomad aimed at family-oriented SUVs. However this strategy comes with risk as wholesale volumes in May dropped nearly 25% and segment market share fell to 7.0%. Xiaomi's broader automotive ambitions hinge on an ambitious delivery target of 550,000 units for 2026, a 34% increase over 2025. The firm also plans four new models for 2025.

Keir Starmer says he's staying put after defense secretary's departure hammers his authority
The resignation of defense secretary, Michael Healey, has undermined his authority and has led to the resignation of several government ministers, including Keir Starmer, who has been consistently warning of the security risk from Russia. The issue is the government's Defense Investment Plan, which outlines how the UK will increase military spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2035 and aims to reverse years of decline in the face of an increasingly assertive Russia. Former Armed Forces Minister Al Carns, who resigned shortly after Healey's departure, said the investment plan was not "transformative enough" and that spending more money should be used wisely.

How Much 'Disclosure Day' Cost To Make – And How Much Box Office It Needs To Profit
Disclosure Day, directed by Steven Spielberg, is one of the most anticipated movies of the 2026 summer movie season. Universal Pictures is releasing the original sci-fi film in the middle of summer, with its release date coinciding with the 45th anniversary of Raiders of the Lost Ark's opening day. The film is expected to gross between $35 and $50 million in its opening weekend and grossed $65 million worldwide in 73 territories. However, with a marketing budget of $80 million, Disclosure Day needs to generate $300 million globally to break even. Despite being compared to Sinners' successful debut, this could help mitigate a drop in attendance in its second weekend.

Barcelona to keep €29 million buyback clause in exit-bound winger’s deal
Barcelona is finalising an exit agreement for winger Ansu Fati to AS Monaco, with the transfer likely to be finalised before June 30. The La Masia graduate spent last season on loan at the Ligue 1 club, where he performed well despite not being a starter. Barcelona will reportedly retain a €29 million buyback clause in Fati's contract, which allows them to bring him back if he regains his best form in France and enjoys a continuity. The move is seen as another significant departure in Barcelona's summer plans, but the club remains optimistic about Fati’s future.

Oregon’s Sen. Wyden brings back housing affordability bill - Seaside Signal
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden and U.S.-Rep. Val Hoyle have introduced the Decent, Affordable, Safe Housing for All (DASH), a bill aimed at alleviating rent and homelessness and building more housing. The bill would create a new down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers, establish a tax credit on landlords who rent to low-income people, and provide more subsidies to developers building housing units for low- and middle-income individuals. The proposal also includes a tax deduction for those who sell their homes for less than their original price. Wyden has previously introduced similar legislation in previous years.

The Constitution promises an interpreter for fair trials – US courts often can’t deliver
The U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to an interpreter for fair trials, but this is often thwarted by the lack of this ability by US courts. This is due to the fact that most Americans, including law enforcement and court professionals, are not taught about language itself. Speakers of minority languages, or languages that are not commonly used in schools, courts or government, are often disadvantaged by this lack of linguistic awareness. This can also affect nonstandard English speakers or people who speak a variety of English that differs from mainstream English. Despite President Donald Trump's recent executive order designating English as the official U-S. language, this issue is expected to grow further. The Trump administration has expanded an immigration crackdown targeting Latino communities and may have left ICE officers with limited understanding of constitutional protections. Linguist, translator and courtroom interpreter for the Ch'ol language, who has worked in southern Mexico with speakers of Ch'o, demonstrates the court system's unpreparedness.
