Walmart has become the first traditional retailer to hit a $1tn (£730bn) market valuation, propelling it into a small group dominated by tech firms. The milestone reflects the US retail giant’s booming e-commerce business and its success in drawing in price-conscious shoppers.

Walmart joins an elite club of mostly tech firms, including Nvidia and Alphabet, with valuations over $1tn. The company’s share price, which has soared in recent months, rose by more than 3% on Tuesday. Walmart is the biggest brick-and-mortar retailer in the US and is…

Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates has said her ex-husband, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, being named in new files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein dredged up “painful times in my marriage”. She told an NPR podcast she feels “unbelievable sadness” about the Epstein allegations and that the people named in the records, including her former husband, need to answer to it. “I am so happy to be away from all the muck,” she said. The couple divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage. Records released by the US justice department include an allegation by Epstein that Bill…
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has moved out of his home in Windsor to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. The former prince left Royal Lodge on Monday night and is currently living at Wood Farm Cottage on the Sandringham Estate while his permanent home undergoes renovations. Buckingham Palace had said the move would happen in early 2026, but the fallout from the latest drop of Jeffrey Epstein files appears to have sped up his departure. Pressure has been building on Mountbatten-Windsor to give evidence in the US over his relationship with the paedophile financier. He has always denied any wrongdoing. The Palace announced…

An Iranian drone was shot down as it “aggressively approached” an American aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea on Tuesday, a US military spokesman has said. An F-35C stealth fighter jet which took off from the USS Abraham Lincoln warship shot down the drone “in self-defence” to protect the aircraft carrier and its personnel, US Central Command spokesman Capt Tim Hawkins said. The ship was approximately 500 miles from the Iranian coast when the drone approached it with “unclear intent”. No US equipment was damaged and no service members were harmed. It comes as the US continues to build up…
The US House of Representatives ended a partial government shutdown after President Donald Trump urged Republicans to press ahead with a vote despite concerns with the new spending plan. Democrats and Republicans disagreed over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is under intense scrutiny after federal immigration agents shot and killed two US citizens in Minneapolis last month. Brokered in the US Senate at Trump’s urging, the deal funds the government and buys lawmakers more time to haggle over the future of DHS. The deal, which passed in a narrow 217-214 vote, keeps DHS running for two…
PepsiCo is to cut the prices of some of its snack products in the US, following backlash against previous price hikes and pressure in the face of appetite-suppressing GLP-1 jabs. Products including Doritos, Lays (known as Walkers in the UK) and Cheetos will be cheaper in the US from this week. The snack conglomerate said it was “listening closely to customers” who are “feeling the strain” of the rising cost of living. Food companies are also reckoning with changing consumer appetites as GLP-1 weight loss jabs such as Wegovy and Ozempic grow in popularity, leading users to eat less. The…

Senators pushed back against a Ministry of Education plan to merge Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teacher training with primary teacher education, warning that the move threatens devolution and could destabilise early learning in counties. Lawmakers sitting in the Senate Education Committee said the directive, issued through an administrative circular, crosses constitutional lines by shifting control of ECDE teacher training back to the national government, despite the function being devolved to county governments. At issue is a proposal by the Ministry to collapse the Diploma in Early Childhood Teacher Education (DECTE) and the Diploma in Primary Teacher Education (DPTE) into…
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Al-Nassr has been plunged into doubt after he was not in their squad for Monday’s Saudi Pro League game against Al-Riyadh.

Both Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal – the country’s most successful club with 19 league titles – are among those controlled by the PIF, which also backs Newcastle United. Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in 2022 after leaving Manchester United mid-season, becoming the best-paid player in football history with an annual salary…
