In a new executive order President Donald Trump has declared that the United States will withdraw from international organizations and bodies including several focused on tackling climate change Trump made his disregard for climate change clear when he withdrew the US from the Paris climate agreement for a second time in early but these new withdrawals further confirm the second Trump administration is against global collaboration in general Among the organizations targeted the US will no longer participate in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and organizations focused on trade conservation reproductive rights and immigration like International Trade Centre the International Union for the Conservation of Nature the UN Population Fund and the Global Forum on Migration and Development In the case of the United Nations affiliated organizations the US ending its participation also means withdrawing funding According to the White House the organizations the US is leaving quot promote radical climate policies global governance and ideological programs that conflict with US sovereignty and economic strength quot Withdrawing is supposed to save taxpayers money though the White House s fact sheet on the executive order neglects to say how much will be saved or how that saved money will be spent now that it s not supporting the United Nations quot By withdrawing from the IPCC UNFCCC and the other vital international partnerships the Trump administration is undoing decades of hard won diplomacy attempting to undermine climate science and sowing distrust around the world quot Former Vice President Al Gore said in a statement responding to the executive order While losing financial backing likely doesn t help anyone the actual impact of the US sdec withdrawals is a bit of an unknown The Washington Post reports For example the US remains involved with the International Energy Agency which works on global clean energy solutions Also many of the organizations the White House decided to exit were deliberative bodies or ones that the US was only marginally involved in according to a UN official The Post spoke to Directly pushing back against global organizations and regulation has been a consistent theme of the second Trump administration particularly in regards to tech regulation The US withdrew from trade talks with Canada in June over the country s digital services tax and just last month the US banned former EU commissioner Thierry Breton from entering the US for his role in the creation of the Digital Services Act This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Amber Glenn is competing in the United States Figure Skating Championships this week Jamie Squire Getty Images Jamie Squire via Getty Images It s been almost two months since Fubo has stopped carrying NBCUniversal owned channels and there s still no sign of them coming back to the streaming service Customers have had to find alternate methods of watching Sunday Night Football all the latest episodes of the Real Housewives franchise and so much more because of Fubo and NBCUniversal s contract dispute so channels like NBC USA Network Telemundo and Bravo have been unavailable on Fubo since Nov nbsp A message released by Fubo to their customers explains quot Fubo believes customers should have the option to choose among multiple distributors to access the content they love Unfortunately NBCU has offered terms regarding pricing and packaging that are egregiously above those offered to other distributors quot A statement from an NBCU spokesperson adds quot Fubo has chosen to drop NBCUniversal programming despite being offered the same terms agreed to by hundreds of other distributors Unfortunately this is par for the course for Fubo ーthey ve dropped numerous networks in recent years at the expense of their customers who continue to lose content Fubo for instance cut Warner owned channels back in You can read more about exactly why Fubo is countering NBC s proposed deal here nbsp While the companies are continuing discussions to come to an agreement there is still no resolution Fubo issued credits to subscribers bills as a gesture of goodwill and has also lowered the

a rebate while these channels are missing Fubo has announced that as of Jan pricing for select subscription tiers has been reduced To know whether or not you re eligible for this rebate you should

current plan did not previously include NBC programming your subscription is not affected at this time and the price remains the same What alternatives do viewers have in the meantime Looking to switch from Fubo You ve got plenty of options including Peacock DirecTV and Hulu Live TV Here are some of your choices Watch NBC on Peacock Get a deal on Peacock with Walmart Try DirecTV free for days and get off your first month Try Hulu Live TV for free Other services to watch NBC If I switch to a different service can I cancel or pause Fubo in the meantime Fubo does not allow customers to pause

CES 2026: Longbow Motors shows off its Speedster EV with Donut Lab's in-wheel motors |

As an unabashed fan of electric vehicles even I have to admit that most of them are pretty boring Their smooth quiet and calm demeanors don t offer much in the way of intrinsic personality which has led to many brands slapping on outr designs and fake engine sounds to try and dial up the excitement To that end a pair of offerings coming soon from UK based EV startup Longbow Motors looks to deliver exactly that The Speedster and Roadster are high performance electric machines built using advanced in wheel motors from Donut Labs Those motors and a bespoke design enable an astonishing curb weight of just pounds nbsp For comparison s sake that s over pounds less than a Mazda Miata the current king of lightweight roadsters Longbow brought just the Speedster to CES displaying it on the show floor at the Donut Lab booth Donut is a spinoff of Verge Motorcycles which was the debut platform for the company s hub less electric motor creating a unique Tron style aesthetic But the technology is about a lot more than creating physics defying motorcycles Donut Lab is expanding its motors to all sorts of platforms from scooters to heavy duty trucks creating a platform for easy adoption by electrified startups Donut Labs motors in the Longbow Motors SpeedsterTim Stevens for EngadgetOf all those platforms though Longbow s implementation is the most compelling I ve seen The appeal starts with the style Co founders Daniel Davey and Mark Tapscott who with Jenny Keisu founded Longbow after stints at Tesla and Lucid told me they wanted to offer a classic but also modern and compelling look The roofless Speedster has an edge over its glass topped Roadster in terms of visual simplicity but a complete lack of any protection from the elements ーeven a token windscreen ーwill make it viable only for the most committed of open air enthusiasts Exposed or protected you ll find yourself situated in an extremely spartan interior Things like the gauge cluster and primary controls were covered set to be revealed later so I can t say for sure exactly what the Longbow looks like on the inside But it was designed to be basic and minimal to an extreme an abject rejection of the rest of the touchscreen laden machines on the road today There is one seemingly unnecessary piece of equipment in the interior though and that s a shift knob EVs of course rarely have transmissions so there s no outright need to shift The purpose of that lever is also a mystery for now as neither Davey nor Tapscott would confirm its function but it seems safe to expect some sort of simulated gearshift action a la the Hyundai Ioniq N The Longbow machines don t just lack a transmission they lack a traditional drivetrain layout at all The direct drive Donut Lab motors are situated right inside the wheel freeing up space inside the vehicle s chassis and helping it to maintain its pert dimensions nbsp Longbow Motors SpeedsterBilly Steele for EngadgetThey also provide a distinctive look filling up the wheels as they do There is a downside to this arrangement that being the heft of these motors hanging on the outer edges of the vehicle The suspension then has to work a bit harder But co founder Mark Tapscott told me that the positives outweigh the negatives and that the handling benefits of having multiple motors alone are worth it To keep the rest of the Longbow s weight centralized the car uses a battery pack that runs largely along the center of the machine stacked vertically rather than spread throughout the floor This keeps the mass centralized in the vehicle while also enabling the kind of ultra low seating you want in a machine like this It looks like it ll be quite a fun package to drive and while exact power output from those Donut Lab motors hasn t been confirmed yet the Speedster is said to sprint to mph in just seconds That s supercar like performance but unfortunately that performance won t come cheap nbsp The Speedster starts at or just under by current conversion rates The Roadster is a fair bit more attainable at or about However given the wonderfully chaotic state of international tariffs right now expect the actual pricing here to be somewhat higher when they go into production later this year Reservations are open now on the company s site That s a little too rich for my blood sadly but if you ve got the budget a left hand drive version will be available And yes it ll be fully road legal in the U S This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
