There are restaurants you visit for the food. Others you choose for the setting. Then there are places that manage to get everything right at once. 70 ONE Restaurant & Lounge belongs firmly in that final category.

There is an immediate warmth to the space. It feels polished without being intimidating, elevated without losing its ease. Born in the winter of 2022, the restaurant draws deeply from Bangladeshi hospitality traditions…
In 2026, artificial intelligence (AI) has moved far beyond early experimentation in supply chain management. Instead of being a futuristic concept, AI is now a practical engine of efficiency, responsiveness and strategic differentiation — particularly as companies confront volatility, shifting demand and the need for resilient, data-driven operations. According to recent industry insights, organisations investing in AI are seeing measurable gains in performance, responsiveness and value capture. From autonomous sourcing to predictive analytics and real-time risk management, AI is reshaping how supply chains operate — turning reactive logistics into proactive, optimised networks that can adapt quickly to change. From Tactical…
As commodity prices firmed in recent sessions — with West Texas Intermediate crude near $65 a barrel and Brent approaching $70 — global energy stocks have enjoyed a broad upswing, bolstered by investor appetite for both traditional oil majors and energy infrastructure plays. Price momentum and company-specific developments have been key drivers of the rally. Several factors are shaping this dynamic: Overall gains in energy indices suggest the sector is no longer a uniform trade — performance varies by commodity exposure, balance sheet resilience and project pipelines — but the near-term trend leans positive as prices stabilise and strategic drivers…
In London trading on Thursday, shares of Griffin Mining Limited (LSE: GFM) climbed sharply after the company reported the commencement of gold production from its Caijiaying mine in China, a milestone that has boosted investor confidence and market momentum.

Across the UK’s construction landscape, a quiet recalibration is underway. In the midst of economic uncertainty, labour shortages and cost pressures, social housing is emerging as a potent catalyst for offsite construction methods — a shift that could reshape how the country delivers homes at scale. This change reflects broader pressures on the sector but also hints at a strategic pivot: using social housing demand to drive productivity, industrialisation and modern manufacturing in building. (pbctoday.co.uk) Beyond policy rhetoric, the conversation now centres on whether manufactured and modular approaches can deliver on cost, quality and speed — and whether social housing…
Germany’s energy system — Europe’s largest economy and historically a cornerstone of Russian gas imports — stands at a defining juncture as it navigates winter demand, geopolitical disruption and a rapid shift toward cleaner power sources. After years of reliance on Moscow’s pipeline deliveries, Berlin has overhauled its supply portfolio, ramped up liquefied natural gas imports and accelerated renewables — but challenges around storage, diversification and cost persist. Diverse Supply in a Post-Nord Stream Era Before 2022, Germany’s gas mix was heavily weighted toward imports from Russia — including through pipelines such as Nord Stream 1 and the Yamal–Europe pipeline…
In the brick, steel, soil and glass of the UK’s built environment, a quiet revolution has been unfolding. Not in blueprints or supply depots, but in the very logic that underpins how buildings are conceived, delivered and managed. One year after the industry’s first widely published strategic assessments of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, the technology has moved from speculative conversation to pragmatic deployment in workflows that matter. From remote safety monitoring to predictive scheduling and design automation, AI — once the preserve of research labs and futurist interviews — is now an operational force, helping firms confront chronic productivity challenges,…
As airlines and governments grapple with the challenge of reducing carbon emissions from flights — a sector responsible for a significant share of transport emissions — sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is emerging as a critical climate and industrial strategy. At the heart of this transition is the question of how to make SAF production commercially bankable, particularly in the UK, where policymakers are attempting to engineer a supportive investment environment. In their recent legal analysis, Nick Churchward and Greg Fearn of Burges Salmon explore how the UK government’s evolving approach to SAF Revenue Certainty Mechanisms (RCM) — part of broader…
Located on India’s sun-drenched west coast, Goa has long been synonymous with vibrant beach life, Portuguese-inspired heritage and laid-back summer culture.

From elegant heritage hotels overlooking historic forts to secluded villas set beside the Arabian Sea, Goa’s luxury landscape has matured into a sophisticated hospitality ecosystem that deftly blends cultural charm with opulence and design. Where Luxury Meets Goa’s Soul Goa’s luxury hotel portfolio is…
In an era defined by the global energy transition and mounting pressure on fossil fuels, Equinor is charting a markedly different course: doubling down on international oil and gas production as demand dynamics evolve and domestic output faces constraints. The Norwegian energy giant has revealed plans to significantly boost its overseas hydrocarbon output by 2030, a strategy that reflects both commercial pragmatism and geopolitical nuance in a shifting global energy landscape. Rather than pursuing rapid cuts in oil and gas exposure, Equinor’s leadership sees opportunity in overseas markets and large-scale offshore developments — even as other European peers scale back…
