Trump’s Davos speech, explained: From who calls him ‘Daddy’ to why ‘Iceland’ came up

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a speech heavily aimed at a domestic audience and focused on America's economy, but which also made crucial reference to the many geopolitical storms that involve America today, from Greenland and Gaza to Venezuela and Ukraine. He said America is owed legal title to Greenland, though said he would not take it by force. He referred to the Russian president as "Vladimir," the French president as "Emmanuel," the former president of the Swiss Confederation as "a woman," and the NATO secretary-general as "Mark," and fondly remembered the time Mark Rutte called him "Daddy." He called Greenland "Iceland" a few times. It all stood in contrast to the speech on Tuesday by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — whom Trump also called "Mark," but in a less conciliatory manner — which quoted both the Ancient Greek historian Thucydides ("the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must") and the modern corporate aphorism that "if you are not at the table, you are on the menu," and was over in about 15 minutes with a standing ovation. Trump's was well over an hour. The National Post annotates some of the key portions of Trump's speech. Read More

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes asks Trump to commute prison sentence

US justice department’s website shows the disgraced former CEO petitioned Donald Trump over fraud conviction

Moisés Caicedo saves face for wasteful Chelsea against battling Pafos

The brief ripple of applause at full time said it all. This was a deeply unconvincing display from ­Chelsea, who took 78 agonising minutes to find a way past the might of the champions of Cyprus, and it was not a surprise that Stamford Bridge greeted victory with such a muted response.

The mood was one of relief. There was plenty of angst on a night when the home fans continued their protests against Chelsea’s ­owners. The football was too slow, too ­predictable, and it hardly seemed to register that Moisés Caicedo shattering Pafos FC’s defiance ensured that Liam ­Rosenior’s side will have a chance to secure direct qualification into the ­Champions League last 16 when they visit Napoli in their final game next week.

Newsom says Davos appearance was canceled under pressure from Trump

Governor’s office says US pavilion bowed to pressure and pulled scheduled ‘fireside chat’ with Fortune magazine

The office of Gavin Newsom, the California governor, said his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos was canceled under pressure from the Trump administration.

Newsom had been scheduled to sit down with Fortune at an event sponsored by USA House, the country’s official headquarters at the annual gathering of world and economic leaders. But before the talk was due to begin, his team says, the USA House bowed to political pressure from the Trump administration and denied the governor entry.

Ubisoft a annulé le remake de Prince of Persia : Les Sables du Temps

Ubisoft a confirmé l' annulation de Prince of Persia : Les Sables du Temps Remake , l'un des projets les plus chaotiques de son histoire récente. Annoncé il y a des années et maintes fois repoussé, le jeu a été définitivement abandonné, ne répondant pas aux nouvelles exigences de qualité du groupe. Cette décision fait suite à un examen interne de plusieurs mois et marque un tournant dans la stratégie de l'éditeur français. Malgré les rumeurs récentes selon lesquelles le jeu était terminé et prêt à sortir, la direction a jugé le résultat final insatisfaisant, faisant de cette annulation une décision plus globale, non liée à un projet en particulier. Malgré les rumeurs récentes , l'annulation du remake de Prince of Persia s'inscrit dans un plan de restructuration qu'Ubisoft qualifie de « refonte majeure ». L'entreprise a déclaré avoir analysé en profondeur l'ensemble de sa chaîne de production entre décembre et janvier, concluant à la nécessité de recentrer son catalogue. Au total, six jeux ont été annulés : outre le remake, il s'agit d'un titre mobile et de quatre projets non annoncés, dont trois sont de nouvelles licences. Parallèlement, sept jeux ont été reportés afin de garantir des standards de qualité plus élevés, dont au moins une production initialement prévue avant avril 2026 et désormais reportée à l'exercice fiscal suivant. 1_VV-lQCC5I Ces décisions sont dictées par le contexte difficile auquel Ubisoft a été confronté ces dernières années, marqué par des lancements décevants, une chute du cours de son action et la récente vente d'une participation minoritaire à Tencent. Pour remédier à cette situation, le groupe a entrepris une profonde réorganisation interne : les activités créatives ont été divisées en cinq « Maisons Créatives », chacune se concentrant sur des genres et des franchises spécifiques, et bénéficiant d'une plus grande autonomie décisionnelle et de responsabilités financières accrues. Prince of Persia relève du pôle dédié aux univers fantastiques et aux expériences narratives immersives, mais cela n'a pas suffi à soustraire le remake à la nouvelle réglementation, plus stricte. La restructuration a également eu un impact direct sur la structure de l'entreprise. Ubisoft a confirmé la fermeture de deux studios, à Halifax et à Stockholm, et annoncé son intention de réduire ses coûts fixes d'environ 200 millions d'euros au cours des deux prochaines années. Sans fournir de chiffres précis concernant d'éventuels licenciements, l'entreprise a admis que certains employés seraient réaffectés à d'autres projets, tandis que d'autres pourraient quitter l'entreprise suite à ces annulations.

Apple Employees Using 'Enchanté' Internal AI Chatbot to Speed Up Work

Apple hasn't developed an AI chatbot for consumers, but it has been using them internally for some time now. Last year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman detailed a Veritas chatbot to test the new version of Siri, and now Macworld has shared details on two other AI tools that Apple employees are allegedly using.


Enchanté is apparently a chatbot that rolled out to employees in November 2025, and it is an "internal ChatGPT-like assistant" that Apple workers can use for "ideas, development, proofreading, and even general knowledge answers."

The tool is said to look similar to the ChatGPT app for macOS, and it runs models approved by Apple. It is run locally or on private servers, and it incorporates Apple Foundation Models, Claude, and Gemini. Employees can upload documents, images, and files for analysis, and the app can access files stored on a Mac.

Apple encourages employees to use Enchanté as a test platform and for everyday work tasks, because it incorporates Apple internal documentation and guidelines.

The second AI tool that Apple developed is called Enterprise Assistant, and it is designed to be a knowledge hub for corporate employees. Macworld says that it has a database of Apple internal policies, so workers can ask questions about everything from company conduct guidelines to health insurance benefits.

It's no surprise that Apple is using AI tools internally, and there have been reports about Apple testing different AI features and platforms since 2023. In 2024, for example, Apple tested a ChatGPT-like generative AI tool that allows AppleCare employees to speed up technical support.

Apple hasn't rolled out consumer-facing chatbot features as of yet, but it has tested a Support Assistant in the Apple Support app. The Support Assistant uses natural language to provide users with help solving issues with Apple devices.

Later this year, Apple plans to introduce an overhauled version of ‌Siri‌ that's powered by Google Gemini, and it will also incorporate chatbot features.

The Guardian view on Keir Starmer and Donald Trump: quiet diplomacy has reached its limit | Editorial

The prime minister has a duty to be candid with the British public about the scale of the global realignment caused by a volatile US president

One foreign policy achievement that Donald Trump prefers not to boast about is his role in helping Mark Carney win last year’s Canadian general election. The incumbent Liberal party faced crushing defeat before Mr Trump threatened to annex Canada. Mr Carney’s candidacy was buoyed up by a patriotic rally against US bullying.

Perhaps because his country has also been coveted by Mr Trump, Mr Carney has given one of the most clear-sighted responses of any democratic leader to the US president’s designs on Greenland. Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, the Canadian prime minister set out the challenge for countries whose security and prosperity have depended on a global system underwritten by the US.

World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland, says Nigel Farage

Reform leader says he agrees ‘strategically’ with Trump but adds that views of Greenlanders must be respected

The world would be a “better, more secure place” if America took over Greenland, Nigel Farage said at Davos, while insisting that he still believed in the sovereignty of nation states.

During a panel at the World Economic Forum’s “America House” in the Swiss ski resort on Wednesday, the Reform UK leader said he had “no doubt” that the world would be safer if a “strong America” was in Greenland “because of the geopolitics of the high north, because of the retreating ice caps and because of the continued expansionism of Russian icebreakers, of Chinese investment”.

Middle powers assemble? Trump disorder prompts talk of new liberal alliances

As Mark Carney, Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen decide ‘to live in truth’, what will it take for Starmer to call out Trump?

Donald Trump has told the Davos economic forum “without us, most countries would not even work”, but for the first time in decades, many western leaders have come to the opposite conclusion: they will function better without the US.

Individually and collectively, they have decided “to live in truth” – the phrase used by the Czech dissident Vaclav Havel and referenced by the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, in his widely praised speech at Davos on Tuesday. They will no longer pretend the US is a reliable ally, or even that the old western alliance exists.

Test Dogpile (PC) - Empilez des chiens jusqu'à plus soif dans un roguelike étonnant

Dogpile est un jeu étrange, l'idée d'un jardin rempli de chiens à élever par fusion semble presque une blague. Après quelques heures de jeu, cependant, on réalise que derrière ces adorables frimousses et ces palettes colorées se cache un système de jeu soigneusement élaboré, capable de séduire aussi bien ceux qui cherchent un jeu rapide après le dîner que ceux qui aiment explorer des synergies, des decks et des combinaisons frôlant l'absurde. D'un point de vue strictement narratif, Dogpile ne prétend pas raconter une histoire épique avec des rebondissements, des quêtes principales et des personnages aux passés bien définis. L'objectif des développeurs est clairement de créer un contexte léger qui justifie le gameplay, sans alourdir l'expérience. Ce jeu fait de l'immédiateté son maître-mot : l'« intrigue » repose sur des textes, de brèves descriptions et une atmosphère qui évoque un monde où toute l'économie est centrée sur les chiens et leurs comportements excentriques. Ceux qui s'attendent à une intrigue traditionnelle seront déçus, tandis que ceux qui recherchent un univers cohérent, fait de petits détails et d'humour surréaliste, découvriront un contexte étonnamment bien construit, malgré sa discrétion. Dogpile n'est actuellement pas localisé en français et l'interface reste en anglais, ce qui peut poser problème aux joueurs ne maîtrisant pas la langue. Le véritable récit de Dogpile se dévoile à travers le bestiaire de chiens et les caractéristiques que l'on débloque au fil des parties, comme autant de courtes vignettes de cet univers canin déjanté. Chaque race, carte et plaque d'identification est accompagnée de noms et de descriptions jouant sur les jeux de mots, les personnages hauts en couleur et les allusions subtiles, créant ainsi une histoire fragmentée que l'on découvre au fil du gameplay plutôt que par des cinématiques linéaires ou de longs dialogues. La progression elle-même semble conçue pour retracer notre évolution, de « novices lâchant des chiens au hasard dans le jardin » à stratèges obsédés par les synergies et les caractéristiques, une évolution qui se reflète dans le ton des textes, nous incitant à expérimenter et à ne jamais nous prendre trop au sérieux.

The ‘rules-based order’ Davos craves has bigger problems than Trump: it represents a world that no longer exists

The global economic system doesn’t even benefit its US and European creators any more – let alone indebted nations or emerging giants

Donald Trump represents everything that the Davos crowd hates – and it is unlikely they are any more well-disposed towards him after being forced to listen to more than an hour of the president’s rambling speech today. He is a protectionist, not a free trader. He thinks the climate crisis is a hoax and is suspicious of multilateral organisations. He prefers power plays to dialogue and he doesn’t have any time for the “woke” capitalism that Davos has been keen to promote, with its focus on gender equality and ethical investment. The shindig’s organisers, the World Economic Forum (WEF), had to agree to sideline those issues in order to secure Trump’s appearance.

For decades, anti-globalisation protesters have sought to shut down the WEF. Thanks to Trump’s threat to take over Greenland, their prayers may soon be answered. In today’s world, Davos is an irrelevance and it seems fitting that Trump should be on hand this week to deliver the coup de grace to the liberal international rules-based order that the WEF prides itself on upholding.

Trump steps up demand to annex Greenland but rules out using force

US president tells business and political leaders in Davos his country needs ownership to defend ‘unsecured island’

Donald Trump has stepped up his demand to annex Greenland in an extraordinary speech in Davos, but said the US would not use force to seize what he called the “big, beautiful piece of ice”.

Addressing thousands of business and political leaders at the World Economic Form in the Swiss ski resort, the US president said he was “seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States”.
