Canada’s premiers set for 3-day meeting in Ontario with trade top of mind – National

Tariffs and trade are top of the agenda as the country’s premiers arrive in Ontario’s cottage country for a three-day meeting that comes at a pivotal time for both Canada-U.S. and domestic relations. The premiers’ summer gathering in Muskoka will also feature a Tuesday meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney, as trade talks with the United States are expected to intensify.Most of what the premiers are likely to discuss stems from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs: trade negotiations, the direct impact on industries such as steel and aluminum, the increased pushes to remove interprovincial trade barriers and speed up major infrastructure and natural resource projects to counteract the effects of tariffs, as well as Indigenous communities’ concerns about them. ...

Netflix Admitted to Using Generative AI in an Original Series, and I Think I Found It

The writing's been on the wall for a while. Unless you haven't seen a movie for the past decade or more, you know how important VFX has become to the creation of TV shows and movies. Those VFX come at a very high cost, and take a lot of man hours to produce. With generative AI video getting so good that most people have probably already been fooled by it at least once, it was only a matter of time before big studios started incorporating it into their workflows.Netflix, in fact, just bragged about doing so, months after a show came out and nobody spotted its use of AI. Yep, it seems that AI art is finally starting to become indistinguishable from human-made art, but that doesn't mean the issue is cut-and-dry.In an earnings call on Thursday, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos discussed how the tea...

Gene essential for vitamin D absorption may boost cancer treatment

Scientists have identified a key gene essential for vitamin D absorption, which may also boost treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases.  The gene, called SDR42E1, is crucial for taking up vitamin D from the gut and further metabolising it -- a discovery with many possible applications in precision medicine, including cancer therapy. "Here we show that blocking or inhibiting SDR42E1 may selectively stop the growth of cancer cells,” said Dr Georges Nemer, Professor at the University of College of Health and Life Sciences at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar. Previous research showed that a specific mutation in the SDR42E1 gene on chromosome 16 is associated with vitamin D deficiency. The mutation caused the protein to be cut short, rendering it inactive. In the study, publishe...

Twin studies report global rise in GI cancers among middle-aged adults

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are rising at alarming rates worldwide in adults younger than 50 years, according to two studies.  The first study, published in JAMA, showed that the surging cancer cases go beyond colorectal, and include gastric, oesophageal, and pancreatic. "Colorectal cancer is the most common early-onset GI cancer worldwide, accounting for more than half of the cases, but it is not the only GI cancer that is rising in younger adults. Unfortunately, pancreatic, gastric, and oesophageal cancers are also increasing in young people," said Dr. Kimmie Ng, from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in the US. "The rising incidence of early-onset GI cancers is alarming and underscores the need for enhanced prevention strategies and early detection methods," Ng added. The second study,...

Saiyami Kher shares why action is her favourite genre as Special Ops 2 releases

Saiyami Kher, whose latest release is the series Special Ops 2, said that action has always been more than just a genre for her and added that she has always believed that women belong at the center of action narratives.  Talking about her love for the genre, Saiyami said: “Action has always been more than just a genre for me — it’s a space where I feel truly free.” She feels there’s something incredibly empowering about pushing physical limits and telling stories through grit and movement. “It’s demanding, yes, but deeply fulfilling. I’ve always believed that women belong at the center of action narratives, not just as emotional anchors but as forces of strength, strategy, and intensity.”           View this post on Instagram                  ...

Chronic venous insufficiency: Know more about Donald Trump`s health condition

US President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) -- a condition where leg veins do not allow blood to flow back to the heart -- explaining the swollen ankles and bruises on his hands.  The 79-year-old US President was recently photographed at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final in New Jersey, where visible swelling around his ankles sparked public speculation about his health. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt informed that the ultrasound exams performed on Trump`s legs confirmed CVI -- seen frequently among people over the age of 70. However, additional exams showed "no signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness" in Trump, Leavitt said, adding that the US President is not experiencing any discomfort due to the diagnosis. ...
