EU-US deal avoids damaging trade war, says Irish premier
The Irish premier has welcomed a new trade agreement between the US and EU as having 'avoided a damaging trade war'. Taoiseach Micheal Martin also said there is 'much to be negotiated' following what he termed a 'framework agreement'. Speaking to the media in Dublin on Monday, Mr Martin said it 'opens up the prospect of more significant strategic collaboration between the US and Europe on quite a number of issues'. 'It also avoids further escalation, or indeed a trade conflict, which would be very, very damaging to the economies of the United States and of the European Union,' he said. 'It's important to say that Europe never sought tariffs, or never sought to impose tariffs, and fundamentally, we are against tariffs: we believe in an open trading economy.' Mr Martin said it is a very different situation than before April 1. 'New realities are in play and so at a broader level, the stability and predictability that this agreement brings is important for businesses, is important for consumers and indeed patients when it comes to the manufacturing and distribution of medicines,' he said. 'In essence, we have avoided a trade conflict here which would have been ruinous, which would have been very damaging to our economy, and to jobs in particular. 'The challenge now for Europe is to work on its own inefficiencies, to reduce barriers within the single market, to press ahead more ambitiously and more proactively on trade diversification and trade deals with other countries that would facilitate that market diversification that is required. 'Meanwhile, there is much to be negotiated in the aftermath of this framework agreement.' Asked about mixed reactions to the deal in Europe, Mr Martin said: 'Nobody is welcoming tariffs with open arms. 'I think we've been consistent in saying that we don't agree with tariffs, that we prefer if there weren't tariffs, but we have to deal with realities. 'I understand people criticising, but given the balance and the options here… in my view, I would appreciate the work of the (European) Commission in this regard, and the avoidance of a trade war is preferable, in my view, and that's the key issue.'

Study warns of the hidden dangers of ChatGPT
A new study, co-authored by NHS doctors, warns that AI chatbots like ChatGPT could contribute to the onset or worsening of psychotic symptoms in vulnerable users. The research suggests that large language models (LLMs) can "blur reality boundaries", leading to what has been termed "chatbot psychosis". Neuropsychiatrist Hamilton Morrin from King's College London described "chatbot psychosis" as a "genuine phenomenon" that is only beginning to be understood. Co-author Tom Pollack urged AI companies to implement more safeguards and include psychiatrists in their safety teams to address these risks. OpenAI chief Sam Altman has acknowledged the difficulty in implementing effective safeguards for users in a fragile mental state.

What to know about the Royal Mail changes effective from now
Major changes to Royal Mail 's delivery services have commenced, allowing second-class letters to be delivered on alternate weekdays and no longer on Saturdays. Delivery targets for both first and second-class post have been relaxed, though Ofcom has introduced a new enforceable backstop to ensure 99% of mail arrives within two days of the target. Regulator Ofcom states these reforms are crucial for Royal Mail's survival, aiming to cut annual costs by £250 million to £425 million due to declining letter volumes. The changes follow Royal Mail's £348 million loss in 2023-24 and recent fines for poor performance, with a review into stamp prices also planned. While criticised by consumer and business groups, the overhaul comes after Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky's EP Group completed its £3.6 billion takeover of Royal Mail owner IDS.
