Much loved for its screenings of hard-to-find films, the venue claims its landlord wants to alter lease, leaving it able to shut down the business

The Prince Charles cinema in central London, long a site of pilgrimage for those interested in cult and hard-to-find films, has launched a petition saying its existence is under threat from its property developer landlords.

In a statement on petitions website 38degrees.org.uk , the cinema says that Zedwell LSQ Ltd (who are owned by developers Criterion Capital) are demanding a “break clause” in the building’s lease, which is currently being negotiated as the current lease ends in September. The cinema says this means they would be on six months’ notice to leave if Zedwell decides to redevelop the site.

Businesses should avoid panic amid fears US will attempt to repatriate jobs and taxes, says Danny McCoy

• Business live – latest updates

Donald Trump will not be a knockout “meteor” to Ireland’s economy despite its heavy reliance on US multinationals, the head of the country’s business trade organisation has said.

While the US president told world leaders gathered at Davos last week that “Europe treats us very, very unfairly” there is a heightened sense of nervousness in Ireland that this could translate to attempt to repatriate jobs and taxes from the 950 US companies there.

• Fan-owned club sit fifth in Scottish Premiership table
• Chief executive: ‘We will always look after our own’

Motherwell “very reluctantly” accepted the resignation of manager Stuart Kettlewell after “personal abuse” from a section of fans forced his family away from matches.

Motherwell sit fifth in the Scottish Premiership but some fans had turned against Kettlewell, particularly in the wake of the Scottish Cup defeat by St Johnstone on 18 January. After another defeat in Perth on Saturday, this time in the league, the former Ross County manager decided he has had enough of the criticism.

The launch of the AI chatbot DeepSeek wiped $1tn off the value of US tech stocks. That should worry even this overhyped and self-satisfied twosome

They say your enemy’s enemy is your friend. Sometimes, however, your enemy’s enemy is a little twerp who is almost as bad as your enemy. Rather than creating a strategic alliance, the best thing to do is sit back and watch the pair of them tear each other apart.

What am I talking about? I am talking about the public spat between Elon Musk and Sam Altman, two of the world’s most powerful, overhyped and self-satisfied men. Musk and Altman co-founded OpenAI in 2015, but Musk left a few years later and has been calling Altman, the company’s CEO, names such as “ Swindly Sam ” ever since.

Top US Jewish advocate Halie Soifer calls Trump adviser’s address to far-right Germany rally ‘incredibly dangerous’

Elon Musk’s remarks to a German far-right party that Germans should not focus on their country’s Nazi past should prompt “deep concern” about “the security of American Jews” and “of Jews worldwide”, a leading US Jewish advocate has told the Guardian.

“Speaking as a deeply concerned American Jew,” said Halie Soifer, chief executive of the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) , “I am deeply concerned about the security of American Jews, of Jews worldwide, given our president’s clear alignment with dangerous rightwing extremists.”

The R1 chatbot has sent the tech world spinning – but this tells us less about China than it does about western neuroses

The arrival of DeepSeek R1, an AI language model built by the Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, has been nothing less than seismic. The system only launched last week, but already the app has shot to the top of download charts , sparked a $1tn (£800bn) sell-off of tech stocks, and elicited apocalyptic commentary in Silicon Valley. The simplest take on R1 is correct: it’s an AI system equal in capability to state-of-the-art US models that was built on a shoestring budget, thus demonstrating Chinese technological prowess. But the big lesson is perhaps not what DeepSeek R1 reveals about China, but about western neuroses surrounding AI.

For AI obsessives, the arrival of R1 was not a total shock. DeepSeek was founded in 2023 as a subsidiary of the Chinese hedge fund High-Flyer, which focuses on data-heavy financial analysis – a field that demands similar skills to top-end AI research. Its subsidiary lab quickly started producing innovative papers, and CEO Liang Wenfeng told interviewers last November that the work was motivated not by profit but “passion and curiosity”.

James Vincent was previously a senior editor at the Verge where he specialised in AI. His first book, Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement, was published in 2022

Inquiry chair says evidence will make clear the ‘devastating and lasting impact’ of Real IRA attack in August 1998

The names of each of the 29 people killed in the Omagh bombing, including a mother and her unborn twins, have been read out as the public inquiry into the attack reopened.

Bereaved families and survivors gathered at the Strule arts centre in County Tyrone for the inquiry, which will examine whether UK authorities could reasonably have prevented the Real IRA bombing on 15 August 1998.

• England opt for dynamic back row for Dublin clash
• Ben Earl also expected to stay at No 8 for the game

Tom and Ben Curry are set to start together for England for the first time with Steve Borthwick primed to unleash the back-row twins in Saturday’s Six Nations opener against Ireland in Dublin.

The 26-year-old Sale Sharks flankers have never played together for England before despite both being in the squad against New Zealand in November. During that narrow defeat, Ben replaced Tom so Saturday is expected to mark the first time they have taken the field together in England colours. Ben has been in excellent form for Sale and Borthwick will have been impressed with how the twins dovetailed in Sale’s 38-0 win at Bristol in late December.
