U.S. lawmakers are seeking answers from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about an affair with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive whom U.S. intelligence officials reportedly suspect of working for Chinese intelligence. The concerns center on possible efforts to influence U.S. chip-export rules and on Megaspeed’s Nvidia purchases, while Nvidia says it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised.
Key Facts
Republican leaders of three House committees asked Jensen Huang to give a closed-door briefing; House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast said he could subpoena him if he did not respond by Wednesday’s deadline.
The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials believe Alice Huang was recruited to gather information about Jensen Huang and encourage him to seek looser limits on chip sales to China.
Jensen Huang apologized to his family and Nvidia employees, and Nvidia launched an independent investigation.
President Donald Trump said the FBI was investigating the matter and described Jensen Huang as an “honourable guy.”
Senator Kevin Cramer called for Jensen Huang to resign, citing the risk of extortion.
The United States has restricted sales of some advanced chips to China since 2022 over concerns about their possible military or intelligence uses.
Megaspeed bought more than $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips over about two years and has faced allegations that it helped Chinese companies obtain restricted chips; Megaspeed denies the allegations.
The article says Nvidia contacted the Commerce Department about an investigation into Megaspeed and appeared to report a much lower value for its chip sales to the company in government disclosures.

A wrist device developed by University of Nottingham researchers reduced tics for 15-year-old Katie, who has Tourette syndrome. A UK trial found users had an average 25% reduction in tic frequency while using a prototype, but the version intended to treat Tourette syndrome has not yet received regulatory approval.

Katie, from Hertfordshire, said her tics affected her sleep, eating and school attendance.
Katie said the device calmed her symptoms when she first tried it in December.
Neupulse delivers electrical pulses to the median nerve at the wrist.

A 2023 UK clinical trial of 121 people found an average 25% reduction in tic frequency while participants used a prototype.
Neupulse-C is sold as a consumer wellness device; Neupulse-M is intended for medical treatment but has not received regulatory approval.
NICE has called the technology promising and requested more evidence about its long-term benefits before considering NHS adoption.
The university said thousands of devices had been sold.

A proposal by legal researcher Neil Francey says Australia’s six state governments could jointly sue major tobacco companies for up to A$50 billion in public healthcare costs. South Australia has sought formal advice, and other states are reviewing the proposal; no lawsuit has been filed.
Key Facts
The proposed case would target British American Tobacco, Philip Morris, Imperial Brands and their overseas parent companies.
The proposal seeks to recover state healthcare costs incurred since 2000 and fund cancer screening and prevention programs.
Francey argues the companies could be liable for decades of misleading and deceptive conduct under Australian consumer law.
The plan calls for the six state governments to pool resources in a joint legal taskforce.
The proposal excludes the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory because of their status and different healthcare funding arrangements.
A BAT Australia spokesperson declined to comment on potential or pending claims; Philip Morris and Imperial Brands did not respond to requests for comment.
In a 1991 federal court case represented by Francey, the court found compelling scientific proof that passive smoking causes lung disease and respiratory conditions in nonsmokers.

Leonardo Bertulazzi, a 74-year-old former Red Brigades member wanted in Italy, escaped house arrest in Argentina and remained at large the next day. Argentina has launched a nationwide search and offered a reward as he faces extradition to serve a 27-year sentence.
Key Facts
Argentine police said Bertulazzi escaped on Tuesday by climbing from a fifth-floor apartment with a harness and rope.
Police said he crossed neighbouring terraces and a vacant lot before climbing over a gate to reach the street.
Officials said Bertulazzi had tampered with his electronic ankle monitor, delaying their discovery of his escape.
Argentina’s Security Ministry offered 20 million pesos, about $13,000, for information leading to his capture.
Bertulazzi was convicted in Italy in the 1980s and faces a combined 27-year sentence for terrorism-related crimes.
Argentine authorities said Bertulazzi helped with logistics for the 1978 kidnapping of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro, who was later killed.
Argentina revoked Bertulazzi’s refugee status in 2024 and arrested him that August; its Supreme Court approved his extradition last year.
The Red Brigades were a far-left armed group that carried out kidnappings and killings in Italy during the 1970s and 1980s. The period is known as the Years of Lead.

Some parents say their teenagers use therapy-related terms such as “triggering,” “gaslighting” and “boundaries” in everyday disagreements. Mental health experts say social media may spread the language, and advise parents to listen, ask what teens mean and use ordinary emotional language; they also recommend seeking professional help when a teen reports symptoms of a mental health condition.
Key Facts
Carla Hoskins, a mother of six in Hertfordshire, says her teenage sons sometimes call her requests to study or do chores triggering or gaslighting.
Shannon Salvatoriello, a mother in the United States, says her teenage sons also use therapy-related terms, which she finds confusing.
Psychiatrist Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell says social media is one way therapy language has entered everyday conversation.
Garfinkle-Crowell says some young people use diagnostic labels such as ADHD and depression to describe their experiences.
Garfinkle-Crowell says parents should consider why a teen uses these terms and consult a mental health professional if the teen describes symptoms of a condition.
Psychotherapist Julia Samuel warns that using medical terms for ordinary distress may encourage young people to see themselves as having a disorder.
Samuel recommends listening and reflecting a teen’s feelings in ordinary emotional language to build understanding.

His approach has divided ministers and Labour figures, while raising concerns among some politicians that discussion of rejoining could weaken negotiations with the EU.
Key Facts
Burnham told his Cabinet that the UK had ended up with a harder Brexit than voters chose and said the deal negotiated by the Conservatives was not working for the country.
