Piers Morgan is taking his daily Uncensored show off TalkTV to focus on its YouTube channel. The broadcaster said television schedules had become an “unnecessary straitjacket” and that moving online would allow him to conduct longer, more in-depth interviews. He also said it would enable him to attract a more global audience. The show’s YouTube channel currently has 2.35 million subscribers, many times its estimated daily TV audience. The announcement comes less than two years after the launch of TalkTV by News UK, a subsidiary of the Murdoch family’s News Corp. The channel was one of a number set up…

Nuclear fusion has produced more energy than ever before in an experiment, bringing the world a step closer to the dream of limitless, clean power. The new world record has been set at the UK-based JET laboratory. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars. Scientists believe it could produce vast amounts of energy without heating up our atmosphere. European scientists working at the site said “we have achieved things we’ve never done before”. The result came from the lab’s final experiment after more than 40 years of fusion research. Andrew Bowie, UK Minister for Nuclear, called it a “fitting…

Former President Donald Trump has won the Nevada Republican caucus by a large margin. The only other person whose name was on the ballot was Ryan Binkley, a pastor and businessman. It means Mr Trump will take all Nevada’s 26 delegates, the system used by the parties to determine their presidential candidate. Initial results reported by CNN showed the former president gaining more than 98% of the vote. Briefly addressing a victory party in Las Vegas, Donald Trump said: “If we win this state, we easily win the election in November.” Donald Trump has now won contests in three states…

When Ollie, a delivery rider in York, England, got his first e-bike in 2022, it was a bit of a splurge. He bought it at a discounted rate negotiated by his delivery company. Even with the discount, it set him back £1,000. “The biggest issue is that e-bikes are expensive, and ones with safe batteries are extremely expensive, so many people opt for cheaper, less reliable and often dangerous batteries,” Ollie says. While he was initially tempted by cheaper models, he ultimately decided that investing in a better e-bike would pay off in terms of “higher range, safer batteries, easier…

Microsoft has denied claims by US regulators that it went back on its word by cutting jobs after its purchase of Activision Blizzard – the biggest gaming deal in history. Microsoft Gaming announced 1,900 job cuts in January, three months after the $69bn (£56bn) purchase was completed. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says that “contradicts” Microsoft’s previous representations. But Microsoft said the idea of job cuts did not originate with its takeover. “Consistent with broader trends in the gaming industry, Activision was already planning on eliminating a significant number of jobs while still operating as an independent company,” the firm said in a…

At least four people have died in violence in a northern Indian state after authorities demolished a mosque, alleging it was constructed illegally. Violence broke out in Uttarakhand’s Haldwani town during what police say was an “anti-encroachment drive”. Authorities said the drive was launched to clear illegal constructions, including the mosque and an adjoining madrassa (religious school). But Muslims who prayed at the mosque say they have been unfairly targeted. Hundreds of protesters and police personnel were injured in the clashes which broke out on Thursday evening. Videos showed protesters setting fire to vehicles and pelting stones and the police…

US business leaders are feeling more bullish about the direction of the economy — even as their worries about the upcoming presidential election mount. For the first time in two years, optimism outweighs pessimism among CEOs, according to a CEO confidence measure for the first quarter released by The Conference Board on Thursday. The survey found 36% of CEOs expect economic conditions to improve in the short term, up significantly from 19% last quarter. Those findings mirror growing confidence in a soft landing — one that looked very unlikely just a year ago. In another sign that recession fears are…

When the deadly coronavirus become a global pandemic in March 2020, indoor public spaces were shuttered and stay-at-home orders were issued to ensure health and safety. In a flash, Nevada saw its leisure and hospitality lifeblood quickly cut off. In Las Vegas, the cacophony of voices, music, ringing slot machines and car horns that typically pulsed through the Las Vegas Strip was replaced by silence, the chirps of birds and the wails of sirens. In Reno, John Simpson was on an emotional rollercoaster in the early months of the pandemic, not knowing whether his Press Start arcade bar could stay open or…

TikTok and Temu have pulled cheap electric heaters from their online stores after Which? found they could explode or start house fires. The consumer group tested eight heaters, the cheapest of which was £7.20, and found most did not meet UK safety standards. It said the devices, some of which had been promoted by influencers on TikTok, posed “a serious safety risk” to users. TikTok and Temu both said customer safety was their priority. However, despite both companies removing the items from sale, Which? said it had found that more similar listings had since appeared in their place. Temu and…

Uber Eats is facing a backlash after its Super Bowl advert appeared to make light of a man having an allergic reaction to peanut butter. The Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) charity said it was “surprised and disappointed” to see the company use allergies as a joke. One person, himself allergic to peanuts, called the ad “disgusting, tone-deaf and completely unnecessary”. The BBC has approached Uber Eats for a comment. “Don’t Forget Uber Eats” was launched as the company’s Super Bowl advert with millions of Americans expected to view it on Super Bowl Sunday. It features former Friends co-stars…
