Previewing the preseason AP Top 25: Tide outside top 3? Anybody but Georgia at No. 1? Where’s TCU?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:24 GMT

The last time Alabama was ranked lower than No. 3 in the preseason AP Top 25, Nick Saban had not yet won a national championship with the Crimson Tide.There is a very real possibility that when the new preseason AP Top 25 is unveiled on Monday at noon Eastern, ‘Bama could be squeezed out of the top three. After all, the Tide went 11-2 and didn’t make the College Football Playoff in 2022 and then said goodbye to Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young and two-time national defensive player of the year Will Anderson Jr.Not exactly cause for alarm in Tuscaloosa, but for a program with six national titles in the last 14 years — and five of the last seven preseason No. 1 rankings — there are more unknowns than there have been in a while.“Our team seems to be pretty hungry this year and motivated,” coach Nick Saban said during SEC media days. “Like all teams, we probably have some issues that are created by graduations and people leaving the program. Obviously, the No. 1 thing that ...

Italy to hit banks with 40 percent windfall tax

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:24 GMT

Georgia Meloni is going after the banks.In a move that surprised investors and political observers alike, Italy’s far-right government led by Prime Minister Meloni announced plans late Monday to slap a 40 percent one-off windfall tax on bank profits.Italian lenders have been raking in huge benefits from higher interest rates on their loans at a time when ordinary people are struggling with the cost of living. The eurozone’s cost of living crisis, which has been marked by the highest inflation in 40 years and a faltering recovery from the pandemic, has provided fertile ground for politicians hoping to win support by targeting the finance industry and central bank policymakers. Matteo Salvini, Italy’s deputy prime minister, aimed fire at the European Central Bank, which is in charge of setting interest rates, rather than the banks themselves when he announced the plan at a press conference late Monday.“The ECB’s rate hike has raised the cost of money for families and businesses,...

Taiwanese chips giant moves ahead with German plant investment

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:24 GMT

Taiwan-based chips manufacturer TSMC on Tuesday formally announced an investment of about €3.5 billion into a microchip production plant in Germany, its first in Europe. The commitment is a huge boost for the EU’s push to become less dependent in the field of microchips, which are used in everything from cars to smartphones. The EU’s goal is to bring its market share in the global semiconductor value chain to 20 percent (from 9 percent now). The goal was set because of pandemic-era shortages, but geopolitical tensions have since become the bloc’s main driver. TSMC is world-leading in the more advanced types of semiconductors and has been expanding its production capacity outside Taiwan, a major chips hub, in the last few years, with plants in the works in Japan and the U.S. state of Arizona. In Europe, it will, however, cater to the needs of the German car industry, which prefers less advanced types of semiconductors. TSMC’s plan was long-rumored, especially...
