When England takes on Croatia Wednesday in the group stage of the FIFA World Cup, the area surrounding AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas will be conspicuously absent of any aircraft. That’s because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a temporary flight across parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex during World Cup matches effort to ensure no drones are flown around the stadium. The temporary flight restrictions temporarily restrict all aircraft, including airplanes, helicopters, and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS, more commonly known as “drones”) – from flying over a specific geographic area. Drones present a security risk for major sporting…

China Evergrande’s liquidators have asked a court to void a HK$1 billion ($127.6 million) shareholder compensation deal a regulator struck with PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Hong Kong affiliate. The fund was part of an agreement with Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission in April to settle investigations into the firm’s auditing work for Evergrande. Hong Kong’s Accounting and Financial Reporting Council also levied a HK$300 million fine at the time. Liquidators of the collapsed developer said the SFC lacks statutory authority to settle a market misconduct claim against a non-regulated entity such as PwC HK in the manner it did, according to a…

Appetite from insurance mergers and acquisitions remains, but the industry’s use of artificial intelligence is expected to enter the equation to affect strategies. According to finding from PwC, the insurance sector logged about $29.6 billion in deal value from 191 disclosed transactions from the start of December 2025 to the end of May 2026.

A cyber extortion group claimed on Tuesday to have stolen more than a terabyte of data from pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk and said it is exploring selling parts of the data after unsuccessfully demanding $25 million from the company.

It said that data included company source code, proprietary information on released and unreleased drugs, trial data, employee, doctor and patient data, information related to company processing facilities and…

The UK is investigating the firing of warning shots by a Russian warship near a British yacht just outside of its territorial waters. The UK received reports from a UK-registered yacht alleging Russia’s Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate fired the shots at a distance of approximately 500 yards (457 meters), near a point 20 nautical miles (37 kilometers) south of the Isle of Wight. No injuries or damage were reported, and the UK is treating the matter as an isolated incident which isn’t linked to its military operation against a sanctioned oil tanker that took place on Sunday, according to officials. Instead…

Motley, complicated risks are presented with the proliferation of data centers across the U.S. to bolster critical infrastructure for artificial intelligence. A new report from AM Best outlines “substantial insurance demand” evolving for the warehouse-sized facilities of computer servers. “With the number and size of AI data centers growing rapidly, it is critical that P/C insurers provide solutions to support these highly complex, high-valued projects,” said AM Best. “As data center development and construction spreads, the required insurance coverage is evolving, as it is currently beyond what the traditional property/casualty industry has previously experienced,” added David Blades, associate director, industry…

Poor maintenance is often a factor when skydiving planes crash like one did in Missouri on Sunday, and the National Transportation Safety Board has said in past investigations that weak oversight of the skydiving industry can allow problems to go unnoticed. It is far too soon to know what caused this weekend’s crash that happened shortly after a plane took off from a small airport about an hour south of Kansas City. Twelve people died in the crash while some of their family members watched from the ground at Butler Memorial Airport. The NTSB will work to determine what happened…

Insurer Nationwide looks to its customers in taking a new approach to rural property monitoring through a relationship with Barn Owl, a provider of solar-powered, cellular-connected remote camera systems designed specifically for farms, ranches and rural agribusiness operations.

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by a former Yosemite National Park ranger who was fired after flying a giant transgender pride flag from a rock wall that looms over the California park’s main thoroughfare. U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston found on Friday that Shannon “SJ” Joslin, who identifies as nonbinary and uses the pronoun they, must follow the process set out by the Civil Service Reform Act. Since Joslin was still a probationary employee at the time of their firing last year, that means they must file a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel, which they…
