For nearly 2,000 years historians assumed Verica,was a man, archaeologist argues it was a woman

Archaeological studies now indicate that Verica, long regarded as a male figure, might have been a female monarch. This discovery challenges conventional beliefs about early British leaders, particularly regarding the likes of Boudica. Coin evidence featuring depictions that could signify a feminine identity adds weight to this theory. Such findings emphasize the importance of female authority in Iron Age Britain's political landscape.

Alleged spy plot targeting CEO Jensen Huang raises questions about Nvidia's future

SAN FRANCISCO — Investigations into whether Nvidia’s CEO was the target of a “foreign intelligence effort" are raising questions about the future of the chipmaker, which became one of the world’s most valuable companies by providing technology that powered the artificial intelligence boom. Jensen Huang has been synonymous with Nvidia since he co-founded it more than 30 years ago. The company now faces potential damage to its reputation and stock price, uncertainty over a possible successor and new scrutiny from shareholders and elected officials. President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI is investigating Huang’s affair with an alleged Chinese government agent. But Trump said he spoke with the executive and believes Huang "had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy.” With a valuation of more than $4 trillion, the company has outsized importance as a Wall Street behemoth and provider of chips relied upon by AI developers. Law enforcement and members of Congress, as well as Nvidia's board and shareholders, are all asking questions about the affair. The c

US lawmakers urge new Epstein investigations in damning report

WASHINGTON — U.S. lawmakers called Tuesday for further criminal investigations into associates of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, in a scathing report blaming prosecutors, financial institutions and powerful connections for allowing his abuse to continue for years. The Epstein saga has dogged President Donald Trump, who was friends with the financier for years but has denied any knowledge of his crimes. Accusations that Trump covered up much of the investigation triggered the first major rift with the president's support base after he returned to the White House. The Republican-led House Oversight Committee urged the Justice Department to interview or reinterview key witnesses and pursue allegations against two prominent men who associated with the disgraced financier. Former Miami Beach mayor Philip Levine and French celebrity hairstylist Frederic Fekkai both deny allegations of sexual assault -- referred to federal prosecutors by the committee in June -- from Epstein's longtime assistant Sarah Kellen. The report also called for further questioning of another longtime Epstein

What we know — and what we don't — as Nvidia investigates alleged spy plot involving CEO

Stunning allegations of a spy plot have prompted investigations of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a purported Chinese government agent. Over the weekend, Huang admitted to having an extramarital affair, and acknowledged that news reports surrounding the relationship and potential national security concerns led Nvidia's board to investigate. He and his chipmaking company did not name the person he had been intimate with, but The New York Times identified her as business executive and Chinese citizen Alice Huang. The outlet said U.S. intelligence determined she was gathering information for Beijing. China’s Foreign Ministry has dismissed the spying allegations, saying on Monday they amount to a smear campaign. Many questions remain unanswered. But the scandal is already bringing turmoil to Nvidia, whose high-end chips have emerged as the leading building blocks for artificial intelligence. Huang himself has become a key face in the AI race, both across the industry and often on U.S. President Donald Trump's side in Washington. Trump said the FBI also is looking into the affair, bu

Iran rejects France's 'baseless accusations' on cyberattack

TEHRAN — Iran on Tuesday said French accusations that it was responsible for cyberattacks on supermarket fridges last month were "baseless." "Iran's foreign ministry categorically rejects the French government's baseless and one-sided accusations against Iran regarding alleged cyber activities in France," the ministry said in a statement. It added that it "strongly condemns this hackneyed policy of levelling accusations against the Islamic republic." Hundreds of French supermarkets were hit in the October 11 and 12 cyberattacks, which raised the temperatures in their refrigerators and freezers, forcing many to throw away entire inventories of perishable food. Similar incidents were then reported in at least 11 other European countries in early November. Along with summoning Iran's ambassador and seeking European-level sanctions, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Tuesday that Paris would "rule nothing out and will take all measures — including those we may not disclose publicly — that we deem proportionate and necessary to deter any further attacks." Tehran meanwhile said
