Google has agreed to pay $50m to settle a lawsuit filed by Black employees alleging systemic racial discrimination in hiring, pay, and advancement. April Curley, a former employee, claimed the company engaged in unfair treatment, steering Black workers into lower-level roles. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing the plaintiffs, said: "This case is about accountability, plain and simple . . . For far too long, Black employees in the tech industry have faced barriers that limit opportunity. This settlement is a significant step toward holding one of the world’s most powerful companies accountable and making clear that discriminatory practices cannot and will not be tolerated.” The settlement includes commitments to pay equity analyses and limits on mandatory arbitration for employment disputes until August 2026. Google has not commented on the settlement.

Complaints of misconduct against Philip Lancaster, an employment tribunal judge in Leeds, are to be examined after a U-turn by the the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO), which had previously dismissed most of the allegations against him without examining them. The JCIO has now agreed to "reconsider" the 10 complaints, which spanned a seven-year period, after three of the complainants - who alleged they suffered bullying, intimidation, banging of the table and/or excessive interruption during employment tribunal hearings presided over by Lancaster - took legal action. Nine of the 10 complainants are female. Emily Soothill from Deighton Pierce Glynn solicitors, the lawyer for the three women, said it was "crucial that the JCIO now undertakes a proper and lawful investigation into the numerous complaints which have been raised against Judge Lancaster . . . so that public confidence in how complaints against the judiciary are investigated can start to be restored."

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has confirmed that the state will participate in the new federal private school choice program introduced under President Donald Trump, making New York one of the largest Democratic-led states to opt into the initiative. The program, which takes effect next year, allows taxpayers to receive dollar-for-dollar federal tax credits of up to $1,700 for donations to nonprofit organizations that provide K-12 scholarships for private school tuition and other educational expenses. Hochul’s office said the governor supports the program’s potential to help students and schools, although the state is awaiting further guidance from the federal government and plans to review whether any aspects of the policy could negatively affect New York’s public education system. Her decision makes New York the 31st state expected to participate in the initiative and positions her among a small number of Democratic governors willing to opt in. The federal program represents the first nationwide effort to direct taxpayer-supported funding toward private school choice. While scholarships can also be used for public school-related expenses such as tutoring, technology, and after-school programs, most observers expect the majority of funds to support private school enrollment. Congressional estimates project the program will cost $500m in tax credits in 2027, rising to $4.4bn annually by 2034.

The number of federal employees behind on their taxes rose sharply during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, with around 215,000 workers owing unpaid tax bills in 2024, according to a new TIGTA audit. The report found the federal employee tax delinquency rate increased from 4.9% in 2021 to 6.9% in 2024. Outstanding tax debt among federal workers climbed 45% over the period to $2.1bn. IRS officials attributed much of the increase to pandemic-era pauses on collection activity. The watchdog said the federal workforce still overwhelmingly pays taxes on time, but urged the IRS and Treasury Department to strengthen enforcement and accountability measures. Auditors warned that public confidence in the tax system could suffer if taxpayers believe federal employees are not meeting their own obligations. The IRS said it resumed phased collection efforts in 2024 and expects delinquency rates to decline in coming years. The agency also increased enforcement activity targeting federal workers behind on taxes and last year sent more than 427,000 notices to delinquent federal employees and retirees, prompting nearly 65,000 people to make payments. The report also found about 572,000 current and retired federal employees owed a combined $6.3bn in unpaid taxes as of 2024. Around 50,000 employees failed to file tax returns for multiple years, while more than 1,000 workers had been delinquent for at least six years. Cases involving 122 employees who were at least eight years behind were referred to the IRS Criminal Investigation division.

Reform UK has been urged to clarify its position on the men's rights group Justice for Innocent Men Scotland (Jims) after one of its directors attended the party's post-election celebrations in Glasgow. Marzena Paszkowska, also known as Marsha Sturgeon, appeared at the event alongside Reform UK's Scottish leader Malcolm Offord, prompting criticism from political opponents and campaigners who accuse Jims of promoting "rape apologist" views, allegations the group rejects. Paszkowska said she attended the event in a personal capacity as a Reform supporter and insisted Jims was not affiliated with any political party. The organisation says it campaigns against miscarriages of justice involving men accused of sexual offences, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling on evidence procedures in Scottish courts as validation of its concerns. Opposition politicians, including the Scottish Conservatives and Scottish Greens, questioned Reform UK over its association with the group, arguing that platforming its representatives risked undermining support for survivors of sexual violence.

President Trump has criticized Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch on Truth Social, claiming they "have hurt our Country so badly" by ruling against his tariff policy. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the tariffs were unlawfully imposed, precipitating an estimated $166bn refund for businesses. Trump expressed disappointment in the justices, questioning their loyalty and suggesting they should support the person who appointed them. He also pressured them regarding his executive order on birthright citizenship, stating that a ruling against it would not be "economically sustainable" for the U.S. Trump's comments follow Chief Justice John Roberts' recent warning against personal attacks on justices. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the birthright citizenship case next month.

European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde has said policymakers face “massive uncertainty” and need “a lot more data” to understand the repercussions of the conflict in the Middle East, and the ECB is carefully considering its response to the war and the impact on inflation to ensure it acts neither prematurely nor too late. “We are constantly torn between the risk of reacting too quickly or the risk of reacting too late, and we have to find the right path to navigate our economies toward that 2% medium term inflation, which is our goal,” she said. Lagarde offered no indication as to whether the ECB will raise interest rates next month, as many expect.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the scale and sophistication of ransomware attacks against financial institutions, with cybercriminals increasingly using AI tools to automate malware development, enhance phishing campaigns, and exploit vulnerabilities more quickly, according to research from cybersecurity firm Securin. The report found that ransomware activity evolved significantly during 2025, with 7,061 confirmed victims linked to 117 ransomware groups. Financial services firms remained a major target, accounting for 340 confirmed victims, as attackers seek to exploit the operational and reputational pressure caused by service outages, payment disruptions, and customer data exposure. Securin said modern ransomware groups are increasingly deploying double-extortion tactics, encrypting systems while simultaneously stealing sensitive information to increase leverage over victims. Attackers commonly exploit weaknesses in identity and access management, memory-related vulnerabilities, and insecure default system configurations to move rapidly through financial networks. The report also warned that the growing adoption of AI across banking, fraud prevention, customer service, and risk management is expanding the financial sector’s attack surface. AI models, APIs, and automated workflows can introduce new vulnerabilities, while techniques such as prompt injection attacks are emerging as additional threats.
