Skye Tucker suffered the painful injury on her first day at nursery.

A Scots nursery faces legal action after a one-year-old baby broke her leg falling off a nappy changing table when left unattended.

Skye Tucker was just 90 minutes into her first day at Little Clouds Nursery in Aberdeen on January 7 when she suffered the injury. Her parents fear her trauma worsened as she did not receive medical care until later that evening.

Nursery bosses admitted the incident was due to a “complete lapse in judgment” after a staff member left her unattended while looking for nappy cream. The Care Inspectorate investigated and upheld five complaints, citing numerous failings in care and communication.

Parents Kyle, 39, and Sheena Tucker, 38, are taking legal action for negligence.

They said in a statement: “We were shocked to learn the extent of her injuries and how avoidable this was. Not leaving a baby unattended on a high changing table is one of the most basic rules in a nursery.

“The fact she was left without real medical attention for most of the day continues to upset us when we think about the pain she endured.

“Skye seems to be recovering well, which is the main thing.

“In fairness to the nursery, we appreciated their quick apology and transparency. The Care Inspectorate findings were welcome, but it’s important for parents to know the full facts to make informed decisions about childcare.

“Our focus now is Skye’s full recovery and ensuring other children are protected from the same errors.”

Skye was attending her first full day after previous settling-in sessions at Little Clouds, where her twin brother Aaron was also enrolled.

At 9.10am her parents were notified via the nursery’s social media service. A staff member wrote: “While changing her nappy, I turned to get cream from the cupboard. As I did, Skye rolled off the mat and fell. She was sad but has had cuddles and is fine.”

The message mentioned an ice pack was applied, but her parents weren’t informed of the seriousness. When Skye showed discomfort at home, they took her to A&E, where an X-ray at Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital confirmed a proximal tibial fracture in her right leg and a facial bruise.

Later that evening, a senior nursery staff member apologised, explaining the incident was due to a health and safety breach regarding “constant supervision.” Management clarified that the changing station was high-risk and the staff member responsible faced internal disciplinary action.

A Care Inspectorate review found five failings, including an incomplete update to the parents. Skye and Aaron now attend a different daycare provider.

A spokesperson for Digby Brown solicitors said: “An incident like this is a parent’s worst nightmare. Childcare is not just about trust but processes to ensure safety. It’s extremely fortunate this wasn’t more serious.

“We will support the Tucker family in civil action to ensure Skye recovers fully and care services improve.”

Little Clouds Nursery stated: “We sincerely apologise to the child and family. We didn’t meet the standards they deserved.

“An internal investigation identified policy changes and improvements needed to ensure child safety. Since then, we have worked with the Care Inspectorate and kept families informed.

“The staff member involved no longer works here and has been reported to relevant bodies. Other involved staff faced disciplinary action.

“This is our first incident in seven years, though one is too many. Our priority is making swift and robust changes to ensure this never happens again.

“We continue working with the Care Inspectorate and look forward to a future re-inspection.”

The Care Inspectorate has been contacted for comment.

Khalid El-Astal, whose wife was killed in the conflict, is holding on to hope his two Irish brothers and father will finally be able to see his two small children in their tiny Dún Laoghaire home

‘Please evacuate my Irish family from Gaza’ – father-of-two on trauma and ‘the blessing’ of life in Ireland

An Irish-Palestinian father is urgently calling for the Government to help evacuate his Irish family from Gaza – as he and other Palestinians also campaign for suitable family housing here.

Khalid El-Astal (31), who lives in Dún Laoghaire, believes his family are among the last Irish citizens left in the war-torn Strip. Yet, despite their Irish passports, they have been unable to leave.

Artificial intelligence stocks have taken a beating over the past month. While AI-fueled enthusiasm caused several stocks to boom in 2024, investors now appear to be experiencing angst over valuations in the face of potential tariffs, trade restrictions to China, or a digestion period in AI spend.

Two 2024 winners were Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) and Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL). Their portfolios are somewhat similar, so much so that Marvell is sometimes called “baby Broadcom.”

However, when each stock reported last week, Marvell plunged, while Broadcom soared. It was an interesting dichotomy and may have reflected a few changing dynamics in the AI races.

While there are differences between the two, both Marvell’s and Broadcom’s portfolios are weighed toward infrastructure chips for networking and communications, along with custom ASIC IP that cloud hyperscalers use in their custom AI accelerators, called XPUs.

All eyes in recent years have been on custom ASICs, which have seen hypergrowth as the AI buildout has accelerated. Marvell CEO Matt Murphy noted that two years ago, Marvell projected about $200 million in ASIC revenue in calendar 2023 and $400 million in 2024. But Marvell wound up exceeding $1.5 billion in 2024, with management projecting more than $2.5 billion in 2025!

However, the topic of ASICs is also where things got dicey for Marvell during its conference call.

You see, Marvell’s ASIC revenue is highly concentrated in a single customer: Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). Marvell also also works with Alphabet on Alphabet’s new Arm-based CPU, but not its AI accelerator, as we’ll see.

Although Murphy noted that it has great visibility into ASIC revenue this year and next , one analyst asked about rumors of potential competition for the business of its all-important customer. Murphy answered:

[T]o be crystal clear, we do expect revenue from these custom XPUs with this customer, not only to grow in fiscal ’26, which is the year we’re in, but to grow in fiscal ’27 and beyond. And I just want to also note that I’m not including revenue here that would be from other products, access networking connectivity that would be incremental to custom. And certainly, we’ve got a great setup, I think, overall with this account relative to the opportunity set, but it’s really on both. And then with respect to the question that our customer may be working with someone other than Marvell on a next-generation XPU, it’s just something we can’t comment on.

That last line was likely the one that spooked investors, especially in a nervous market in which investors seem to be looking for reasons to sell. A lack of a definitive “no,” to the rumors about Amazon switching all or part of its custom chipmaking off Marvell’s IP may have worried investors over the sustainability of Marvell’s ASIC growth.

On the other hand, not only did Broadcom report blowout AI numbers of its own, but CEO Hock Tan also noted Broadcom had engaged with two additional potential ASIC customers.

Currently, Broadcom has three major ASIC customers. Its biggest is Alphabet for its tensor processing units (TPUs), along with what many believe to be Meta Platforms and China’s Bytedance, the owner to Tik Tok. On its previous earnings call in December, Broadcom noted that it had engaged an additional two customers for custom ASICs.

But on last week’s earnings call, Broadcom said it has now engaged with an additional two potential custom ASIC customers on top of the previous two. While we don’t know who those two new customers of interest might be, it could suggest a potential engagement with Amazon. Of course that’s highly speculative at this point.

Before Marvell investors freak out, some industry sources believe the original two new customers announced in December were Apple and OpenAI, while the two new customers alluded to last week may be Oracle and Elon Musk’s xAI. But again, those four potential customers have not been confirmed by Broadcom.

In any case, the prospect of having Broadcom add even more customers to its already-larger roster of custom ASIC customers bolstered its stock. Meanwhile, doubts over Marvell hanging on to its single biggest customer longer-term likely dented sentiment.

In addition to the differing narratives over custom ASIC customers, valuation likely played a role in both Broadcom’s and Marvell’s recent fortunes. While Broadcom has more custom ASIC customers and a more diversified business with its high-margin software segment, it still traded at a lower valuation than Marvell heading into last week.

Both companies’ valuations look extremely high on a GAAP basis, since each has a lot of amortization of intangible assets on its income statements, because of both companies’ history of acquisitions. However, unlike the depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, intangibles amortization isn’t really an ongoing cost that has to be replaced by capital expenditures, as depreciation is. So in these cases, looking at both companies valuations on a non-GAAP basis is probably appropriate.

Marvell made a little over $1.3 billion, or $1.57 per share on a non-GAAP basis in its fiscal year ended in January, which makes its current P/E ratio on adjusted earnings about 46.8 times. Prior to its report earlier this week, the stock traded at 57.3 times. And at its January highs, Marvell traded at 81.2 times trailing earnings.

Meanwhile, Broadcom currently trades around 36.3 times trailing-12-month adjusted EPS. Heading into earnings, that figure for Broadcom was just 33.5.

Marvell may have been valued higher since it’s a smaller company, and most investors seem to think that the smaller a company is, the larger its growth prospects. However, Broadcom has been able to defy those limitations of large numbers. After all, Broadcom’s 25% growth last quarter was nearly as fast as Marvell’s 27% growth, despite Broadcom being about nine times as large.

When comparing two companies, two big elements to consider are customer concentration, as well as valuation. Even though Marvell and Broadcom reported quite similar results, Broadcom’s lower valuation and more diversified customer base inspired more confidence relative to Marvell’s sky-high valuation and dependence on a large single customer.

As we’ve seen from the excellent results across the Magnificent Seven stocks, big companies can still find ways to grow, especially since only large companies can credibly participate in capital-intensive megatrends such as cloud computing and AI. So in this new world of transformative technology megatrends, sometimes bigger is in fact better.

Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you’ll want to hear this.

On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a “Double Down” stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you’re worried you’ve already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it’s too late. And the numbers speak for themselves:

• Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you’d have $292,207!*

• Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you’d have $45,326!*

• Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you’d have $480,568!*

Right now, we’re issuing “Double Down” alerts for three incredible companies, and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.

A viral video falsely claimed Indian and Pakistani cricket teams mourned Virat Kohli’s father’s death. PTI Fact Check revealed it was from the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 supporting the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement

The video showing the Indian and Pakistani cricket teams mourning the death of Virat Kohli’s father by observing a minute of silence during a live match was false. (PTI News)

A video recently circulated on social media, with users claiming it showed Indian and Pakistani cricket team players mourning the death of Virat Kohli’s father, Prem Nath Kohli, as soon as the news broke to them during the recent Champions Trophy match. The video began with India opener Rohit Sharma having a brief conversation with Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam, followed by a scene where Indian players kneeled on the ground. In contrast, Pakistani players stand with their hands on their chests.

However, the PTI Fact Check Desk investigated and found this claim to be false. The video was actually from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, where both teams (India vs. Pakistan) showed support for the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement before the match commenced. In the footage, the Indian team kneeled to express solidarity, while the Pakistani team placed their hands on their chests as part of the gesture. An old and unrelated video was misleadingly shared on social media with a false claim.

Claim

A Facebook user going by the name ‘Amrish M A Raj’ shared a video on March 4, claiming it showed Indian and Pakistani cricket team players observing a minute of silence during a live match after hearing about the passing of Virat Kohli’s father, ‘Prem Nath Kohli.’ The video showed Indian team players kneeling on the ground, while the Pakistani team players stood with their hands on their chests. Since being posted, the video has received 15 million views.

Here is the link and archive link to the post, along with a screenshot.

Investigation

The Desk ran the viral video through the InVid tool search and extracted multiple keyframes. Upon running one of the keyframes through Google Lens, the Desk found various users shared the same video with similar claims. Two such posts can be found here and here, and their archived versions can be viewed here and here, respectively.

The search results also led the Desk to a report published by India Times on October 25, 2021. The report includes images of Indian and Pakistani cricketers (as also seen in the keyframes the Desk used for investigation) extending support to the Black Lives Matter movement during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021. It showed Indian cricketers kneeling on the ground. At the same time, Pakistani players kept their hands near their chests to support the movement against racism, which was started in the United States after the death of 46-year-old African American George Floyd in the year 2020.

Here is the link to the report, along with a screenshot.

Below is a combination image highlighting that the content seen in the viral video matched that of the images used in the India Times report.

In the next part of the investigation, the Desk conducted a customized keyword search on Google and came across a report by the Times of India. The report, published on September 19, 2024, elaborated on the circumstances surrounding the death of Virat Kohli’s father, Prem Nath Kohli, in 2006. The report revealed that Virat Kohli’s father died in December 2006, when Virat was just 18 years old.

“In a 2006 Ranji Trophy match, batting maestro Virat Kohli demonstrated remarkable commitment by playing for Delhi against Karnataka despite losing his father. At 18 years old, he returned to the field the next day and scored an essential 90 runs, helping his team recover from a tough spot,” the report added.

Here is the link to the report, along with a screenshot.

Subsequently, the Desk concluded that the video showing the Indian and Pakistani cricket teams mourning the death of Virat Kohli’s father by observing a minute of silence during a live match was false.

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX, has long been known for his strict business policies, including a firm stance on pricing. Unlike many business leaders who may offer discounts or special deals to friends and family, Musk maintains that Tesla’s pricing applies equally to everyone—regardless of personal relationships. Even his own mother, Maye Musk, and cousin, Lyndon Rive, have not received discounts on Tesla vehicles.
This policy came into public focus again in 2024 when Musk responded to a resurfaced video of rapper Snoop Dogg jokingly requesting a free Tesla. Musk clarified that not even his closest relatives get special treatment and that all Tesla customers, including himself, must pay the listed price. His no-nepotism approach underscores a commitment to fairness in pricing, ensuring that every buyer is treated equally, whether they are a celebrity, a relative, or an everyday consumer.

Elon Musk’s mother confirms no discounts on Tesla purchases

Maye Musk, the billionaire’s mother and a prominent figure in the modeling and nutrition industries, has publicly confirmed multiple times that her son does not offer family discounts on Tesla vehicles. Despite being the matriarch of one of the most influential tech families, she has stated that she had to pay full price when purchasing a Tesla.
Reports indicate that even when Elon Musk personally bought a Tesla for his mother, he did not use any discounts or special pricing. This highlights Musk’s strict adherence to his company’s pricing policy, which does not allow for preferential treatment, even for family members.

Elon Musk rejects Tesla discount request from his own cousin

Elon Musk’s strict policy was further reinforced when his cousin, Lyndon Rive, sought a discount on a Tesla purchase. Rive, the former CEO of SolarCity, a solar energy company that Tesla later acquired, thought that his family ties to Musk might allow him to receive a discount on the electric vehicle.
However, when he approached Musk with the request, the response was both straightforward and humorous. Instead of offering a discount, Musk pointed Rive to Tesla’s official website and told him that the listed price was the family discount—since everyone, regardless of their relationship to him, pays the same amount.
Rive later shared this experience in an interview, praising Musk’s consistent approach to fairness. He emphasized that Musk does not allow nepotism to influence business decisions and ensures that all customers are treated equally.

Musk’s stance on fair pricing and business ethics

Elon Musk’s refusal to offer discounts to family members aligns with his broader business philosophy. He has previously stated that Tesla’s pricing structure is designed to be transparent, ensuring that all customers receive the same treatment without special deals or negotiations.
This approach is particularly significant in the automotive industry, where discounts and incentives are common. Many car manufacturers offer special pricing programs for employees, executives, or their families. However, Musk’s policy sets Tesla apart by eliminating any preferential treatment, reinforcing the idea that Tesla vehicles hold their value without requiring incentives.
Additionally, Musk himself has followed this policy when purchasing Tesla vehicles for personal use, further demonstrating his commitment to the pricing structure.

Public reactions and industry impact

Musk’s no-discount policy has been met with both admiration and criticism. Supporters view it as a testament to his commitment to fairness, emphasizing that Tesla’s pricing is transparent and applies equally to all. Others believe that offering occasional discounts—especially to long-time supporters, employees, or family members—would be a reasonable exception.
Despite differing opinions, this policy has contributed to Tesla’s reputation for maintaining a consistent pricing strategy, avoiding the fluctuation of discounts and incentives seen in traditional automakers. It also aligns with Musk’s broader business principles, where merit and efficiency are prioritized over personal relationships.

Dublin, March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Europe Baby Food and Infant Formula Market Size and Share Analysis – Growth Trends and Forecast Report 2025-2033” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Europe Baby Food and Infant Formula market is expected to reach US$ 71.06 billion by 2033 from US$ 32.22 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 9.19% from 2025 to 2033

Higher disposable incomes, changing parental convenience preferences, advances in nutrition science, rising infant health awareness, desire for luxury products, and developing e-commerce platforms are some of the factors propelling the baby food and infant formula market in Europe.

The growing number of working women and consumers’ busy schedules are the main factors driving the baby food and infant formula business in Europe. In order to give the infant a wholesome and nourishing diet, they are embracing baby food products in large quantities. Additionally, a number of product developments are driving market expansion, such as the introduction of infant formula and baby food made from organic cereal.

There are no artificial chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides in these items. Accordingly, the market expansion is being positively impacted by the adoption of beneficial government programs to raise awareness about baby food products. The market is expected to rise throughout the region due to other variables, such as increased consumer spending capacities and an increase in brand endorsements on social media platforms.

The EU saw 3.88 million births in 2022, which translates to an 8.7 crude birth rate (the number of live births per 1000 people). In contrast, the crude birth rate in the EU was 16.4 in 1970, 10.5 in 2000, and 12.8 in 1985. The year 1964 saw the greatest yearly total of live births in the EU, with 6.8 million children born, throughout the 1961-2022 era.

The number of live births in the EU decreased at a comparatively steady rate from this comparative peak until the start of the twenty-first century, falling to a low of 4.36 million in 2002. Following this, there was a little rebound in live births, reaching a peak of 4.68 million in the EU in 2008. This was followed by a general decline in live births, but with slight increases in 2014 and 2016. Live births in the EU plummeted to 4.07 million in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, then slightly increased to 4.09 million in 2021 before declining once more to 3.88 million in 2022.

Growth Drivers for the Europe Baby Food and Infant Formula Market

Increasing Birth Rates

The demand for baby food and infant formula products has increased dramatically as a result of a consistent increase in birth rates in a number of European nations. The number of births has gradually increased in countries like France, the UK, and Germany, which has a direct impact on the demand for baby nourishment products.

The need for wholesome, safe, and high-quality baby food options is growing as more families decide to start a family. Governments and healthcare systems also have a significant impact because they encourage parents to feed their children healthily in the early years of life. As new parents look for dependable and healthful feeding options for their kids, this trend supports the growth of the baby food market and guarantees a consistent demand for infant formula and baby food products.

Health-Conscious Parents

Health-conscious parents in Europe are increasingly looking for organic, nutrient-dense, and allergy-free baby food options for their infants as a result of a noticeable shift toward better lives. Concerns about the long-term health effects of processed meals and additives are the main cause of this increased understanding of the significance of early nutrition.

Parents are choosing items free of dangerous chemicals and artificial preservatives that are manufactured with natural, non-GMO ingredients. Many producers have responded to the growing demand for organic baby food by inventing clean-label products that satisfy consumers’ health-conscious tastes. Because of the desire to give children the greatest nutrition possible from the very beginning of their lives, the market for organic and allergy-free baby food is growing quickly.

Rise in Product Innovation

In response to changing customer needs for more specialized and customized nutrition, the European baby food and infant formula market has seen constant breakthroughs in product innovation. As parents look for solutions that promote healthy gut development, immunological function, and general growth, new formulas enhanced with probiotics, prebiotics, additional vitamins, and minerals are gaining popularity. Additionally, producers are concentrating on developing formulas for certain requirements, such as hypoallergenic, lactose-free, and gluten-free alternatives for infants with dietary sensitivities or restrictions.

One of the main forces behind innovation is the capacity to tailor newborn nutrition to each baby’s particular health needs. Brands continue to create products that reflect the most recent findings in baby health as more scientific data regarding the significance of early childhood nutrition becomes available, assisting parents in making well-informed decisions.

Challenges in the Europe Baby Food and Infant Formula Market

Shifting Consumer Preferences

European parents’ tastes for baby food and infant formula products are changing as they gain more knowledge about nutrition. Demand for customized formulae that address certain requirements including immune system support, brain development, and digestive health is rising. As parents are more concerned with giving their infants the best, cleanest options, organic and allergy-free goods are becoming more and more popular. Specialized formulas with probiotics, prebiotics, or plant-based components are also increasingly popular substitutes

. Manufacturers face a difficulty as a result of this shifting consumer tastes; they must continuously innovate to keep ahead of trends. To satisfy the ever-evolving needs of knowledgeable parents, businesses must introduce new product lines, incorporate newly discovered nutritional advantages, and preserve formulation flexibility.

Safety and Quality Assurance

It is imperative that baby food and infant formula meet the strictest safety and quality requirements possible because any deviation could seriously damage customer confidence. Since parents depend on these products to give their children the nutrients, they need during the most vulnerable times, any contamination, recall, or safety concern could harm a brand’s reputation and have an impact on sales.

From obtaining raw materials to packing and distribution, manufacturers are required to closely oversee and implement safety procedures at every stage of production. To prevent hazards like contamination or incorrect labeling, which can have disastrous effects on the child’s health and the reputation of the brand, constant quality control is required. Maintaining stringent safety and quality assurance procedures is a constant challenge for businesses in the cutthroat industry, especially with the increased scrutiny surrounding infant products.
