The amount of untaxed wealth hidden offshore by the richest 0.1 percent exceeds the entire wealth of the poorest half of humanity (4.1 billion people), reveals new Oxfam analysis published today ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Panama Papers. The findings show that, a decade later, the super-rich continue to exploit offshore systems to evade taxes and conceal assets, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated international action to tax extreme wealth and end the use of tax havens.

Oxfam estimates that $3.55 trillion in untaxed wealth was stashed offshore in tax havens and unreported accounts in 2024. This sum exceeds the GDP of France and is more than twice the combined GDP of the world’s 44 least developed countries.

The richest 0.1 percent holds approximately 80 percent of all untaxed offshore wealth, or around $2.84 trillion. Within this tiny group, the ultra-wealthiest 0.01 percent holds roughly half ($1.77 trillion).

Looking to get some Total War Games again, Rome, maybe Empire, Shogun. Wondering if those cheap like 200 dollar laptops will work for that, and if walmart is an ok place to get it, as best buy has burned me on defective electronics post 2020.

Using samsungs android (oneUI). I can configure a sleep mode where the phone is in 'do not disturb '. I can make an exclusion for specific apps, such that notifications from those apps are still shown. But the notification from that all is still silent (visible). I want a sound such that it can wake me in the night.

Usecase: :my pet-camera sends me a notification is my pet is awake and moving about. I want that notification to wake me up, from my sleep.

Samsung had something called routines (mini tasker I guess). Maybe i can build something, but it's seems too complicated for my usecase?

FIFA is once again raising prices for a substantial number of games in the upcoming World Cup tournament that will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico in June and July.

Roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers are still intact and thousands of one-way attack drones remain in Iran’s arsenal despite the daily pounding by US and Israeli strikes against military targets over the past five weeks, according to recent US intelligence assessments, three sources familiar with the intel told CNN.

Iran said it had shot down a United States Air Force fighter jet over its territory, and footage released by Iranian channels appears to show the wreckage of an F-15E Strike Eagle from the U.S. Air Force’s 494th Fighter Squadron.

Iranian outlets initially claimed the aircraft was an F-35, but a closer review of the debris shown in the video points to a different aircraft. Visible sections of the airframe, including parts of the fuselage and external mounting points, match the layout of the F-15E rather than the stealth design of the F-35.

A new EU proposal to freeze safety requirements for small electric cars for up to ten years could put lives at risk and create a two-tier vehicle safety system

ETSC warns that this approach would lock in outdated standards at a time when the EU is already off track to meet its target of halving road deaths by 2030. More than 19,000 people were killed on EU roads in 2025.

Instead of lowering standards, ETSC calls for incentive schemes to promote the uptake of smaller, safer vehicles that comply with the latest safety requirements.
