Exclusive-Three Intel senior executives to retire amid manufacturing shake up
By Max A. Cherney SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Three senior executives in Intel's manufacturing operations are set to retire, Intel told Reuters on Thursday, as new CEO Lip-Bu Tan implements sweeping change to resuscitate the struggling U.S. chipmaker. Intel told staff on Tuesday that corporate vice presidents in the technology development group, Kaizad Mistry and Ryan Russell, would retire, as would Gary Patton, corporate vice president at its Design Technology Platform organization and a former IBM executive. Intel also discussed changes to the technology development group, which is responsible for creating manufacturing processes, said two people briefed on the matter. The chipmaker plans to reduce its manufacturing capacity planning team and cut a portion of its engineering team, the people said. Intel declined to comment on the changes. Manufacturing operations are led by former Micron Technology executive Naga Chandrasekaran, who was hired about a year ago by then-CEO Pat Gelsinger. Chandrasekaran's responsibility expanded in March as he took over technology development and manufacturing. He has since reorganized staff under him, including layoffs as part of global cutbacks. When Intel announced its quarterly financial results last week, CEO Tan, who assumed the role in March, set a goal of slashing the chipmaker's workforce to 75,000 people by year-end, a reduction of around 22%. Intel also vowed to take a more disciplined approach to manufacturing investment. Intel said its next-generation 14A manufacturing process depends on securing a new, significant customer, otherwise it could suspend or terminate development. "We're developing Intel 14A ... from the ground up in close partnership with large external customers," Tan said in a memo released with the financial results. "Going forward, our investment in Intel 14A will be based on confirmed customer commitments." Tan also told investors that Intel's 18A process could only generate a reasonable return if it is used for in-house products. Tan has debated whether to stop offering 18A technology to external customers to focus on 14A, Reuters reported in July. Intel plans to ramp to high-volume manufacturing its Panther Lake PC chips this year using its 18A manufacturing process.

Trump orders a 35% tariff for goods from Canada, citing a lack of cooperation on illicit drugs
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump has raised the tariff rate on U.S. imports from Canada to 35% from 25%, effective Friday. The announcement from the White House late Thursday said Canada had failed to 'do more to arrest, seize, traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs.' Trump earlier had threatened to impose the higher tariff on Canada if no deal was reached by Friday, his deadline for reaching trade agreements with dozens of countries. Canada was not included in Trump's updated list of tariff rates on other countries announced late Thursday. Those import duties are due to take effect on Aug. 7. Prime Minister Mark Carney had tempered expectations, saying Ottawa will only agree to a deal 'if there's one on the table that is in the best interests of Canadians.' In a subsequent statement, released just after midnight, he said he was disappointed by the actions and that 'Canada accounts for only 1% of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes.' He added that some industries — including lumber, steel, aluminum and automobiles — will be harder hit, but that the government will try to minimize the impact and protect Canadian jobs.

Reveller punched on night out by drink and drug fuelled thug left without sense of taste or smell
A reveller punched by a drink and drug fuelled thug on a night out has been left without a sense of taste and smell. Roman Floyd launched an unprovoked attack on Daniel O'Hare after the pair had been refused entry to a nightclub in Manchester city centre. Floyd was heard to ask 'whether he was dead or not' as Mr O'Hare lay motionless on Bridge Street, after hitting his head on the ground. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and his 'entire life was put on hold', Manchester Crown Court heard. Floyd, now 21, avoided jail after a judge was told he is 'deeply remorseful'.

Mr O'Hare's pal worked with Floyd, who was also out with a friend. Sign up to the MEN Court newsletter here The two groups got in touch with each other and decided to meet up. Floyd, who was said to be under the influence of alcohol and cocaine, described himself as being 'parcelled'. They met up at the Box bar on Deansgate, before deciding to visit a nightclub on nearby Bridge Street. They queued up for a short while but were denied entry. Floyd protested and told door staff, referencing Mr O'Hare: 'I'm not drunk, he's drunk.' Mr O'Hare didn't appear to react, and they walked away from the venue. Within seconds, Floyd launched a 'completely unprovoked attack', punching Mr O'Hare twice to the head and causing him to fall and hit his head. Mr O'Hare lay motionless on the ground and his friend 'initially thought he was dead'. Floyd was also heard to ask 'whether he was dead or not'. When police arrived and arrested Floyd they found he was in possession of cocaine. Mr O'Hare was rushed to hospital and was found to have suffered a severe, traumatic brain injury. He has since made an 'almost full recovery', the court was told, but has been left without any sense of taste or smell. He was unable to work for 11 months and couldn't drive for 14 months. Join our Court and Crime WhatsApp group HERE 'That is because of your actions that day, in deciding that you would physically assault him, that's down to you,' the judge, Recorder Fiona Clancy, told Floyd. 'His entire life was put on hold.' Defending, Sarah Magill said that Floyd has since 'done some growing up' and has 'put things in place' to rehabilitate himself. She argued he was a 'perfect contender' for a suspended prison sentence, despite the serious injury, given delays to the case, his remorse and lack of previous convictions. Floyd, of Whitethorn Avenue, Burnage, pleaded guilty to section 20 wounding. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison, suspended for two years. He was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work, and complete 15 rehabilitation activity requirement days. Floyd was previously sentenced by magistrates to a conditional discharge after admitting being in possession of cocaine.
