'The Big Money Show' panel discusses U.S.- China trade talks after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said negotiations stalled. President Donald Trump on Sunday said if the courts rule against the administration's sweeping tariffs, it would mean the "economic ruination" of the country. The post comes after the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) ruled unanimously on Wednesday to block the use of an emergency law to enact punishing import taxes.Members of the three-judge panel, who were appointed by Trump, former President Barack Obama and former President Ronald Reagan, said Trump has overstepped and does not have "unbounded authority" to impose the tariffs.

Hundreds of thousands of young adults could be sitting on a hidden fortune worth more than £2,000 — and they don’t even know it.HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has confirmed that many thousand of people aged between 18 and 22 have unclaimed savings accounts — some dating back to the early 2000s — that are now ready to be cashed in.The money, held in Child Trust Funds (CTFs), was deposited by the Government under a Labour scheme aimed at encouraging children to save.But many of the young people eligible for the cash have no idea the accounts exist, and are being urged to “cash in their stash” — with the average claim totalling £2,200.HMRC said: “Thousands of Child Trust Fund accounts are sitting unclaimed. We want to reunite young people with their money and we’re making the process as sim...

Rafał Trzaskowski, the mayor of Warsaw and a Polish presidential candidate, discusses the need for European nations to increase defense spending, the relationship between the U.S. and Poland, the upcoming presidential election and global trade. Poland is going to vote in a presidential runoff Sunday. The country is one of the few economic success stories in Europe.  Its economy is growing far faster than some of the larger economies. It grew 2.9% last year, eclipsing 2.8% growth in the U.S. And it slammed Europe’s three largest economies with minus 0.2% growth for Germany and plus 1.1% for both in France and the U.K. Poland's economy has grown 11 times larger since 1986, almost twice as fast as the U.S. did over the same period. "The last year or two has seen a boom, and it's getti...

A woman who incorrectly claimed thousands of pounds in benefits has been ordered to pay back the cash. Marie Buchanan, originally made a legitimate benefits claim over a decade ago, but ended up wrongly claiming over £53,500 that she wasn't entitled to across four years. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard that her initial claim was valid as neither she nor her partner were fit for work and had no other income.She was receiving employment support allowance (ESA) and housing benefit. However, she neglected to inform the DWP and Stoke-on-Trent City Council when her circumstances changed, as her partner began working on a self-employed basis between April 2019 and April 2023. The 50 year old Middleport resident was overpaid £21,837.63 in housing benefit between April 2019 and July 2023, and w...

Uber and Waymo launch autonomous rides in Austin, Texas. Residents of Santa Monica, California, have been complaining and protesting the frequent noise-pollution from Waymo driverless cars. Waymo, a driverless ride-hailing company, is operating in multiple states across America. While the driverless electric cars with rotating sensors were initially viewed as a novelty, some residents have begun to complain that their charging lots generate near-constant noise."[T]o hear it from residents, the beeping never seems to stop, largely due to a state regulation requiring electric vehicles to audibly reverse like delivery trucks," The LA Times reported. "They beep as they back out of charging spots, and beep as they reverse to navigate around each other. They beep in the morning as they h...

State pensioners are being warned that they could owe Income Tax to HMRC if they earn more than £597.That’s because from April, the state pension went up by another 4.1% thanks to the Triple Lock, which automatically uprates state pension payouts by one of inflation, wage growth or a flat 2.5%. Because wage growth is 4.1% this year, that’s the amount pensions have gone up by. It means that the state pension has hit £230 per week, or £11,973 per year for someone on the full new state pension with maximum National Insurance year contributions.In turn, pensioners will be just £597 away from the Personal Allowance of £12,570. Every £1 earned over £12,570 is taxed at 20% (up to £50,270 where it goes up to 40%). So pensioners earning £598 will mean you start paying some Income Tax to HMRC.Ear...

‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ actor Greg Tarzan Davis tells Fox News Digital the toughest part of his career transition from teacher to Hollywood actor. "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" is the eighth (but not necessarily the last) film in the nearly 30-year-old franchise that began in 1996. Through Thursday, May 29, the latest release has brought in $91 million domestically and $136 million internationally for a worldwide gross of $227 million.  The series is a departure from other big-budget franchises that rely heavily on advanced CGI techniques and the power of the brand to attract audiences, particularly the Marvel and DC film series. While "Mission: Impossible" has featured a diverse range of co-stars, none matters more to the success of the series tha...

The government has published radical proposals to change pension payments that will see workers hit with an extra £560 of taxes if taken forwards.Right now, UK workers can take advantage of a huge tax relief on contributions to their pension. By sacrificing salary into their private workplace pension pot, employees can legally avoid tax on their wages. Instead of being taxed 20%, 40% or even 45% of their earnings, any money ‘salary sacrificed’ into their pension is not taxed or subject to National Insurance and, when withdrawn later in life there are ways to access the money tax-free instead, again with no National Insurance payable.But research paid for by HMRC in a report titled ‘Understanding the Attitudes and Behaviours of Employers Towards Salary Sacrifice for Pensions’ revealed th...

KraneShares Chief Investment Officer Brendan Ahern discusses Chinese stocks, inflation rates and more on ‘The Claman Countdown.’ The price of eggs has dropped just over 61% since President Donald Trump took office in January, after spiking to an all-time high in March.  The most recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows white, large shell eggs are now $2.52 per dozen nationally. On Jan. 21, that same carton of eggs would have run an American about $6.49, according to data website Trading Economics. Trading Economics shows eggs were over $8 a dozen the first week of March. "Shell egg demand posted a slight improvement headed into the Memorial Day weekend but remained well below average in the continuation of a trend that began during the sharp price increases ...
