- Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

Quick Glance: Thames Water Directors Discuss Utility's Future
- The board of Thames Water engaged in crucial discussions as shareholders consider diluting a funding pledge. Shareholders, including the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) and China's sovereign wealth fund, may retract hundreds of millions of pounds in promised funding.
- Thames Water, employing about 7,000 people and serving nearly a quarter of the British population, is grappling with over £15 billion in debt. Shareholders had committed to provide £3.25 billion in the coming years, with the initial £750 million slated for this year.
- The shareholders' decision to reduce financial support could leave the heavily indebted company with few viable options to secure its future. Sky News previously reported that Whitehall officials had prepared contingency plans for Thames Water's potential collapse.
- Thames Water, serving 15 million customers in London and the south-east of England, has faced significant pressure due to leaks, sewage contamination, executive pay, and dividends. The prospect of temporary nationalisation in the event of a collapse could cost taxpayers billions.

- Visa and Mastercard announced a settlement with U.S. merchants related to swipe fees, potentially saving consumers billions of dollars.
- Swipe fees are paid to credit card companies like Visa and Mastercard in exchange for facilitating transactions, with merchants passing those fees on to consumers.
- As per the settlement, Visa and Mastercard will cap credit interchange fees until 2030 and must negotiate fees with merchant groups.
- The settlement stems from a 2005 lawsuit alleging that merchants paid excessive fees to accept Visa and Mastercard credit cards, citing antitrust violations by Visa, Mastercard, and their member banks.
