An AI company which recently secured millions of pounds of investment has been accused of running a misogynistic and sexist advertising campaign.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has received at least seven complaints about the campaign by Narwhal Labs, which includes an advert depicting a woman next to the strapline: “She outworks everyone. And she’ll never ask for a raise.”

For Poland’s Donald Tusk, the crushing defeat of Hungary’s illiberal prime minister, Viktor Orbán, after 16 years in office was evidence that the world was “not condemned to authoritarian and corrupt governments”.
Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, also believes the two-thirds majority secured by Orbán’s centre-right challenger, Péter Magyar, in Sunday’s elections was “a clear signal against rightwing populism” that showed “the pendulum is swinging back”.

WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - De Verenigde Staten zijn, ook na de geklapte onderhandelingen van afgelopen weekend in Islamabad, nog in gesprek met Iran. Dat zegt een hooggeplaatste Amerikaanse functionaris tegen persbureau Reuters. Volgens de bron hebben de VS nog niet formeel ingestemd met een verlenging van het staakt-het-vuren met Iran, dat afgelopen week werd overeengekomen onder bemiddeling van Pakistan.
Eerder op woensdag meldde Turkije te ijveren voor een verlenging. Dat land staat op goede voet met zowel de strijdende partijen Iran en de VS, als met Pakistan. Iran zei woensdag nog dezelfde dag een Pakistaanse delegatie te verwachten. Daarmee moet worden gesproken over de voortgang van de onderhandelingen.
Volgens Iraanse media heeft Iran opnieuw verzocht de bevroren Iraanse tegoeden vrij te geven. Er zou geen overeenstemming zijn bereikt over dat verzoek. Afgelopen weekend klonken geruchten dat de VS zouden hebben ingestemd met de vrijgave van een onbekend deel van die tegoeden. Dat werd later door een Amerikaanse bron tegengesproken.
