Microsoft Brings Copilot Mode on Edge for ‘Calmer’ Web Browsing

Microsoft has introduced ‘Copilot Mode’ for its Edge browser, an experimental collection of AI features designed to improve user experience. According to Microsoft, these features are designed to enhance web browsing efficiency by enabling users to perform tasks more effectively while minimising clutter.

With Copilot Mode, the browser will be able to understand the full context of all open tabs, which helps users pose queries to better understand information from their current sessions.

“For example, when researching vacation rentals across multiple sites, chat with Copilot to quickly identify which option is closest to the beach and includes a full kitchen – saving time and reducing friction,” said Microsoft.

Copilot on the Edge browser also offers voice navigation, allowing users to verbally specify their needs and navigate the interface with fewer clicks and keystrokes. This includes actions like finding specific information on a page, opening additional tabs to compare product options in a cart, and more.

Copilot will also be shown in a small pane on Edge, allowing users to access features while viewing any tab or window. “It’s perfect to help cut through distractions like pop-ups and long-winded blog posts, and to get straight to the information you need,” said Microsoft.

“For example, if you’ve been researching how to start an online business, Copilot can recognise that and surface relevant insights like recommending a tutorial to watch as you explore different website-building methods,” said the company, while adding that these features operate only with the user’s consent, and Copilot will only access browsing content if the user explicitly enables it.

Mustafa Suleyman, the company’s AI CEO, shared a series of posts on X explaining how these features work.

“The future of the web is calmer, more focused, and more genuinely helpful. Today, we’re bringing it closer than ever. As an early tester, the #1 thing I noticed was how much easier it was to focus or get into flow state. All the little moments of less friction really add up,” said Suleyman.

Copilot Mode is available for free, for a limited time, starting today in all Copilot markets, exclusively on Edge for Windows and Mac, with certain usage limits. Users can try it today at aka.ms/copilot-mode.

Over the past few months, significant developments have occurred in the field of AI-enabled web browsing experiences. Perplexity made a significant announcement with the launch of their Comet web browser. It is also fair to consider these as an attempt to catch up with Google Chrome, which is the market-leading web browser today.

Investors are signaling they are moving on from tariffs

The floor of the New York Stock Exchange on July 28, 2025.

Stock markets in the U.S. and Europe didn't seem that delighted with the U.S.-European Union trade deal reached over the weekend.

The S&P 500 ticked up, but by the barest margin, while the Stoxx Europe 600 fell. Both indexes were trading higher during their respective sessions but had given up those gains as the day ended.

For those on the continent, perhaps there was a dawning realization that the agreement wasn't too much in their favor. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he would have welcomed further easing of trade, while France's minister for Europe, Benjamin Haddad, said the deal was "unbalanced," according to a Google translation.

With U.S. President Donald Trump announcing Monday that he would probably impose a blanket tariff of between 15% and 20% on countries without trade agreements, it's starting to seem like most duties will settle around that level eventually, easing some uncertainty.

What's more, economists appear to be revising downward their expectations of the impact tariffs will have on the U.S. economy — so any deals in the future might not trigger rallies, or strong ones at least, on Wall Street.

Tariff considerations, then, are on the backburner for now. Investors can turn their attention to Magnificent Seven earnings and data on the U.S. economy coming out the next few days. If all goes well, they might give markets the cheer that was missing on Monday.

What you need to know today

Global baseline tariff of between 15% and 20%. For countries that have not negotiated separate trade agreements with the U.S., Trump said he would likely impose that blanket tariff rate on their exports. But Wall Street doesn't seem as frightened of tariffs anymore.

Less than two weeks for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine. That's the new deadline Trump issued to Moscow — if Russia fails to meet it, the U.S. president will implement massive "secondary tariffs" on the country's trade partners, Trump said.

India has exported more smartphones to the U.S. than China. In the second quarter, 44% of U.S. smartphone imports were assembled in India, while 25% were from China, according to research firm Canalys. India's and China's share a year earlier were 13% and 61%, respectively.

A muted response to the EU deal. On Monday, the S&P 500 closed mostly flat, giving up earlier gains. Asia-Pacific markets fell Tuesday. Shares of Singapore Airlines lost as much as 8% after the carrier reported a 59% slump in profit for its fiscal first quarter.

[PRO] Watch this index for signs of a new bull phase. This index, which is calculated differently from the price-weighted S&P 500, gives a better gauge of the health of the entire economy and stock market.

Could a baby be born in space? Scientist explains the possibility and risks of space birth |

As human space travel moves closer to long-duration missions to Mars and beyond, an intriguing and complex question emerges: could a baby be conceived, carried, and delivered in space? While it may sound like science fiction, researchers are beginning to seriously investigate what pregnancy and birth would look like in the extreme environment of outer space. According to Science Alert, the biological and technological hurdles are enormous—from the effects of microgravity on fetal development to the invisible threat of cosmic radiation. Arun Vivian Holden, emeritus professor of computational biology at the University of Leeds, explains that while space birth is theoretically possible, nearly every stage of reproduction would be impacted in unpredictable ways.

Birth in space: pregnancy and childbirth challenges in microgravity

In space, microgravity affects the body in countless ways, and pregnancy is no exception. While conception might still be physically possible, carrying a pregnancy in zero gravity introduces major complications. Although an embryo floating in the amniotic sac may resemble a microgravity environment, the absence of gravity during childbirth poses logistical challenges.Fluids, the baby, and even medical tools don’t stay in place, making delivery much more difficult than on Earth. Additionally, caring for a newborn—feeding, cleaning, and simply holding—would be far more complex without the stabilizing effect of gravity.

Space birth and the danger of cosmic radiation

Space birth faces an even more critical hazard: cosmic radiation. Outside Earth’s protective atmosphere and magnetic field, high-energy particles travel through space at nearly the speed of light. These cosmic rays can damage human DNA, destroy cellular structures, and increase the risk of cancer and miscarriage.During the earliest stages of pregnancy, when cells are rapidly dividing and forming key organs, a direct hit from a cosmic ray could cause fatal developmental errors. Though such hits are rare, their consequences could be severe. As the fetus grows larger, the risk increases. A more developed fetus and uterine environment offer a bigger target for radiation, which could trigger preterm labor or developmental abnormalities. Without advanced shielding, space remains an inherently dangerous environment for gestation. Once a baby is born in space, the challenges continue. Microgravity may interfere with the infant’s physical development, including posture, balance, and coordination. These early milestones depend on gravity cues, and their absence could lead to delayed or altered motor skills. At the same time, a newborn’s brain continues to grow rapidly after birth, leaving it vulnerable to radiation damage. This could affect cognition, learning ability, and long-term health.Although the idea of space birth is gaining traction, scientists emphasize that we are far from prepared. Before attempting reproduction in orbit or on another planet, humanity must solve the complex issues of radiation protection, fetal viability, and early development in weightless environments. Until then, space pregnancy remains a frontier of science best explored with caution, simulation, and ethical scrutiny—not premature real-world trials.

Pilot arrested on child sex abuse material charges after landing at San Francisco airport

SAN FRANCISCO — A pilot was arrested aboard a Delta Air Lines flight and federal agents took him into custody from the cockpit after the plane landed at San Francisco International Airport.

The pilot, whose identity wasn’t immediately released, was arrested on charges relating to child sexual abuse material, an official with the Department of Homeland Security said Monday.

Passengers aboard the flight from Minneapolis to San Francisco on Saturday posted video online showing federal agents walking through the aisle of the plane.

In an emailed statement, Delta said that it would cooperate with law enforcement and the pilot has been suspended, pending an investigation.

“Delta has zero tolerance for unlawful conduct and will fully cooperate with law enforcement, ” the company said.

Authorities provided no other details about the arrest.

Trump denies seeking summit with Xi, says he ‘may’ visit China | Donald Trump News

US president says he will visit China only at the invitation of Chinese leader.

United States President Donald Trump has denied seeking a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping while holding out the possibility of visiting China at his counterpart’s invitation.

“The Fake News is reporting that I am SEEKING a ‘Summit’ with President Xi of China. This is not correct, I am not SEEKING anything!” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday.

“I may go to China, but it would only be at the invitation of President Xi, which has been extended. Otherwise, no interest! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Trump’s comments come after the Reuters news agency reported last week that aides to the two leaders have discussed a possible summit during a trip to Asia by the US president later this year.

The report, which cited unnamed people familiar with the plans, said Trump and Xi could possibly meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit taking place in South Korea from October 30 to November 1.

Trump and Xi last met face-to-face in 2019 on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan.

The US and China are currently engaged in negotiations aimed at lowering trade tensions that have spiked since Trump rolled out his on-again, off-again tariffs on Chinese exports.

On Monday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met in Stockholm, Sweden, to kick off two days of talks focused on reaching a trade deal before the end of a 90-day tariff truce that ends on August 12.

Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg Television last week that the administration was in “a very good place with China now” and the August deadline could be extended in a “90-day increment”.

Reeves backs Cornish tin revival with £28.6m boost

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will visit a tin mine due to be reopened with government backing during a trip to Cornwall.

She said the £28.6m National Wealth Fund investment to Cornish Metals, which is seeking to reopen the South Crofty tin mine, could create up to 1,300 jobs.

The chancellor will also visit other Cornish businesses and is set to hail plans to boost the region’s pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes by allowing more al fresco dining and longer opening hours.

“Despite having so much potential to grow, Cornwall has been neglected by successive governments, and its families and businesses have suffered as a result,” the chancellor said.

The reopening of South Crofty is expected to create more than 300 jobs and The Treasury estimates it could create 1,000 more as it fuels UK supply chains.

It would support the UK’s domestic tin supply amid increased demand for use in solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, semi-conductors and energy storage increases.

“Like in every part of the UK, I am determined to unlock growth that creates jobs and puts more money in Cornish people’s pockets,” said Reeves.

“Our investment to revive Cornwall’s proud tin mining industry and the thousands of jobs it will create for years to come is one way we are renewing the county.”

Don Turvey, chief executive of Cornish Metals, said: “We are honoured to welcome the chancellor to South Crofty and proud to showcase the significant progress we’re making as we move toward production.

“The UK Government’s £28.6 million investment via the National Wealth Fund is a powerful vote of confidence in our project and the future of Cornwall’s mining industry.”

The chancellor is also due to visit ship repair business A&P Falmouth, the Harbour Lights fish and chip shop in Falmouth and heat pump manufacturer Kensa in Truro.

Govt to exercise strict oversight of sugar mill stocks: Rana Tanveer

ISLAMABAD – Federal Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain on Monday announced that the government will now exercise strict oversight of sugar mill stocks. For this purpose, officials will be deputed to each sugar mill to monitor stock levels

The minister while chairing a meeting with Sugar Sector Stakeholders ordered strict monitoring of mill stocks. He warned, “The government will now exercise strict oversight of sugar mill stocks.”

He held discussions with representatives of the Pakistan Sugar Mills Association (PSMA) and other key stakeholders from across the provinces to review the ongoing sugar supply situation in the country.

During the meeting, it was observed that several sugar mills are not adhering to the mutually agreed framework regarding the supply and release of sugar stocks. Despite repeated assurances, issues persist in the timely dispatch and availability of sugar in the market.

Taking serious note of the situation, the minister announced that the government will now exercise strict oversight of sugar mill stocks. For this purpose, officials will be deputed to each sugar mill to monitor stock levels and ensure uninterrupted supply in accordance with agreed terms.

The Chairman of PSMA also raised concerns and challenges faced by mill owners. In response, the minister assured the industry that their genuine issues would be addressed. To facilitate effective communication and resolution of grievances, he directed formation of a Grievance Redressal Committee. Additionally, a dedicated WhatsApp group will be established to ensure real-time coordination between government officials and sugar mill representatives.

“The government is committed to maintaining price stability and ensuring adequate sugar supply in the market. Any negligence or violation of agreements will not be tolerated. At the same time, we will work closely with the industry to resolve their legitimate concerns in a timely manner,” said Rana Tanveer Hussain.
