Jay-Z si esibirà sul palco dell’Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show, in programma al SoFi Stadium di Los Angeles, in California, domenica 14 febbraio 2027. Lo hanno annunciato Apple Music, la NFL e Roc Nation.

È stato il primo artista hip-hop a fare il suo ingresso nella Songwriters Hall of Fame, vincitore di 4 premi Emmy e di 25 Grammy Award. Il 2026 ha visto le celebrazioni di “Jay-Z 30”, un progetto durato un intero anno per festeggiare il trentesimo anniversario dal lancio del suo album di debutto “Reasonable Doubt” con tre concerti da tutto esaurito allo Yankee Stadium di New York, seguiti dalle date sold-out di Londra, Parigi e Los Angeles.

“Da Reasonable Doubt fino a conquistare il palco dell’Halftime Show del Super Bowl è stato un percorso straordinario – ha dichiarato l’artista – Trent’anni di musica, lavoro e cultura portati sul palcoscenico più grande del mondo. Questo viaggio continua a essere un sogno che si realizza”.

“Per diversi anni abbiamo avuto il privilegio di lavorare a stretto contatto con Jay-Z e Roc Nation, e ho potuto toccare con mano l’impatto straordinario che ha avuto sull’Halftime Show del Super Bowl – ha commentato Roger Goodell, Commissioner della NFL – Quando abbiamo stretto per la prima volta l’accordo con Roc Nation per la produzione dello show, avevo un’unica richiesta: che un giorno Jay-Z salisse su quel palco in prima persona, quando avrebbe ritenuto giunto il momento opportuno. Non potrei essere più entusiasta all’idea che i fan di tutto il mondo possano vivere l’arte, la creatività e la carica culturale che saprà portare al Super Bowl”.

“L’impatto di Jay-Z sulla cultura musicale globale è tanto profondo quanto indiscutibile – ha sottolineato Oliver Schusser, Vice President of Music and International Content di Apple -. Negli ultimi anni abbiamo avuto il privilegio di collaborare con lui per portare sul palco dell’Halftime Show del Super Bowl alcuni degli artisti più emozionanti e prolifici al mondo, e siamo davvero entusiasti che quest’anno sia proprio lui a salire su quel palcoscenico. Sappiamo già che sarà uno spettacolo incredibile”.

Davanti alla mamma tutti, o quasi tutti, i rapper crollano. È quello che ha raccontato Jake La Furia a Radio 105. In una intervista il giudice di “X Factor 2026” ha rivelato un aneddoto divertente legato ad un evento speciale e intimo.

“Ero a cena con mia madre e mio padre, Ernia e Rkomi. Mentre stavamo mangiando tutti insieme – ha raccontato il rapper – mia madre davanti a tutti questi rapper mi dice delle cose tipo ‘Franci (il vero nome è Francesco Vigorelli, ndr), ma non te la mettere più la maglietta traforata ‘X Factor’ che fa cagare oppure mi dice ‘dai ma non usare a tavola lo stuzzicadenti’. Alla fine le dico ‘minchia oh ma non è che siamo a casa nostra, mamma’”.

Un ritratto inedito del rapper che si mostra a volte ‘duro’, ma in fondo ha il cuore tenero. Un po’ come aveva confermato la conduttrice di “X Factor” Giorgia a FqMagazine, che ha imparato a conoscere il rapper dopo molte puntate.

“Jake noi lo vediamo super hard. – ha detto Giorgia – Lui è forte, lui è determinato, è deciso, sa cosa dire, sa cosa fare. Del resto è ‘La Furia’ e si arrabbia anche. A volte quando si arrabbia è un momentaccio. Ma c’è anche la sua competenza, il suo essere artista… Il suo punto secondo me fragile è che lui in realtà è buono, c’è da gestire questa bontà, come nasconderla più che altro, ma ci prova incessantemente”.

Nom Pen, 27 oct (Prensa Latina) La noroccidental provincia camboyana de Siem Reap prepara hoy seis días de celebraciones masivas del Festival del Agua a lo largo de la ribera del río homónimo.

• My husband is 23 years older than I am, but our age difference never bothered me before.
• Now that he's 61 and we're raising two young kids, I'm noticing our different energy levels.
• I love our life together, but I'm struggling with the realities of our age gap.

When my husband and I first met back in 2014, we had what many would consider a whirlwind romance. We met, fell in love almost instantly, moved in together after a year, got engaged six months later, married a month after that, and a little over a year later, welcomed our first child.

It was all very exciting, rushed, and filled with emotion and love.

I'm also a very rational person who doesn't get easily swept up in the moment. So we talked about a lot of the "hard" decisions that couples so often neglect to discuss at the beginning of a relationship. We talked about children, our future, and what we wanted our lives to look like. That's why, now, more than 12 years later, it's surprising to find myself struggling with something I thought I had already made peace with: our age gap.

He is 23 years older than me

My husband and I have a 23-year age difference. Yes, I was always aware of it. And, to be honest, it never really made a difference to me.

Especially when it came to the big life decisions, including having children, we had those conversations before we even got engaged. I knew exactly how old he was. I knew there would be things about growing older together that would be different for us.

But I guess there's a big difference between being aware of something that could eventually happen and actually living it.

Our age difference has been showing up in more ways than one lately, and there's a part of me that's angry with myself for being surprised by it.

It's not like my husband was always going to be the 48-year-old I met when I was 25. I knew he would age. I knew things would change as he got older. I knew there would eventually be a point when the difference between us became more noticeable.

I just don't think I ever wanted to admit to myself exactly how much.

He's in his 60s now

I knew he was going to be an older father. I knew all of this. But knowing something and seeing it firsthand are two very different things. Lately, I've seen just how much his 61 years are catching up to him, and it's been putting me in a strange place.

I keep a lot of things together for my family. We have two young children, and I have my own business. There is already a lot that weighs on me. But what I've noticed recently is my husband's physical health beginning to catch up with his age.

Don't get me wrong — my husband is in great shape for a 61-year-old. But at the same time, most 61-year-olds aren't running after toddlers or handling the daily insanity of school drop-off and pick-up.

And that difference is becoming harder for me to ignore. What bothers me most is how naive I feel. I knew this was a possibility. Quite frankly, my husband knew it, too. When we discussed having children, we were always on the same page, but he expressed his concerns about being an "old" dad. I heard him. We talked about it. We made the decision together.

And yet, now that I'm watching the reality unfold in front of me, I'm beginning to feel guilty. As though I've been selfish. As though somehow this isn't fair to my kids.

I see how much fatherhood — and, frankly, being a husband — can weigh on him.

The everyday insanity of being part of a household with a high-maintenance 8-year-old and a very independent 3-year-old is a lot for anyone, myself included. But it's especially a lot for a 61-year-old.

Sometimes he physically can't keep up with our 3-year-old, who runs at a pace that could outrun the best of us. Sometimes he mentally can't keep up with our eight-year-old, who talks at about a million miles a minute.

And those moments make the age difference feel very real.

It's not just the fatherhood aspect

I feel his patience with me beginning to waver, too, and I wonder how much of that is because we're simply in such different phases of life.

I have a thriving public relations firm, and I feel like I'm just getting started. I have energy and ambition and a feeling that there is still so much ahead of me.

He had a contracting firm for many years, but that chapter of his life is well behind him now. At his age, he should be enjoying retirement. Instead, he's a stay-at-home dad and handles a huge amount for our family. But he's far from retired.

He's the only one who drives, so he's the family's chauffeur. He makes appointments and handles logistical things. He oversees the renovations on our house. He does the grocery shopping. He does so, so much.

And the truth is, at this age, maybe he shouldn't have to.

Our relationship itself hasn't really changed. We are still very lucky to have an incredibly open and loving relationship. We talk about these things. We try to give each other space and understand where one another is coming from. We each do what we can mentally and physically for each other, for our children, and, just as importantly, for ourselves.

I think what we're realizing is that neither of us has ever been here before.

We knew there was an age gap when we met. We knew what it meant on paper. We talked about the difficult possibilities before we got married and before we had children.

At 25, I could understand that my husband was 23 years older than me. At 38, I can feel it.

US President Donald Trump said Elon Musk had restored Ukraine’s Starshield speeds, but the restrictions remained in place on 23 October, according to Ukrainian officials.

The cap, in place since 14 October, has disrupted interceptor drone missions against jet-powered Shaheds flying above 400 km/h for more than a week. On 16 October, Trump told reporters that, from what he understood, nothing had changed with the service. His latest claim that Musk restored it appears to acknowledge the restriction, even as he denies ordering it.

Ukraine says restrictions remain

“At the moment, there is no confirmation that the restrictions have been lifted,” a Defense Ministry official told LIGA.net on the morning of 23 October. The official said connections continued to drop at above 161 km/h.

Presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov wrote on Telegram on 23 October that no lifting had been recorded. He said occasional operation above the limit could result from SpaceX algorithms or usage conditions.

A day earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had promised to return with information in “48 plus hours,” according to his remarks to reporters in Kyiv. A Ukrainian official separately told The Kyiv Independent that reports of restored speeds were “all false.”

A senior European official told the Associated Press that the cap remained at about 160 km/h and that Ukraine had no clear explanation of who ordered it or why.

Conflicting reports of a lift

Trump said Musk had restored the speeds but declined to clarify whether he had contacted him.

“I guess the bottom line, he put it back,” Trump said.

Meanwhile, AP reported that the Wall Street Journal said Musk had agreed to lift the restrictions. The Ukrainian drone and mapping channel Kartohraf posted on the evening of 22 October that the cap had been lifted. The Economist’s Oliver Carroll said that frontline drone commanders thought it had likely been lifted but were still testing, according to his post on X.

Who ordered the cap?

The order came from inside the White House, according to a Reuters report on 15 October. Days later, the Wall Street Journal reported that Musk ordered the slowdown. Rubio denied White House involvement, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on 20 October that the US had not ordered the restriction. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal announced an inquiry into how the service was slowed, AP reported.

Ukraine’s gains in Donetsk Oblast rely on drones the cap slows

The 3rd Army Corps’ Operation Vivaldi retook ground north of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast with drones, many of which rely on Starlink or Starshield, and those gains could erode if the cap stays.

At the same time, Radio Svoboda reported that Ukraine needs a limit of at least 450 km/h and that Germany pays for the service under a contract running until April 2027.

Cooperazione industriale, export rafforzato, nuove strade di investimenti e ulteriori partnership nei settori strategici, come le materie critiche. Italia e Azerbaigian viaggiano spedite verso una nuova stagione di relazioni, fondate su business, cultura e geopolitica, in vista del Business Forum di Baku. Gli ultimi accordi siglati a Roma alla presenza di istituzioni e imprese raccontano tutta la bontà dell’iniziativa “Italy-Azerbaijan: Strengthening Economic and Industrial Cooperation”, organizzata da Confindustria, in collaborazione con il ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy, il ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale e il ministero dell’Economia della Repubblica dell’Azerbaigian.

Gli accordi

La presenza del ministro dell’Economia azero Mikayil Jabbarov, in visita in Italia, racconta i concreti passi in avanti nel rafforzamento delle relazioni bilaterali, anche in vista del Business Forum Italia-Azerbaigian, in programma a Baku entro la fine dell’anno. Primo punto affrontato le prospettive di collaborazione tra i sistemi produttivi dei due Paesi in settori nevralgici, come energia, materie prime critiche, industria mineraria e metallurgica, intelligenza artificiale, infrastrutture digitali. Dal momento che l’Italia è il primo mercato di destinazione delle esportazioni azere, con un interscambio bilaterale che nel 2025 ha raggiunto gli 8 miliardi di euro, ecco che il futuro delle relazioni tra i due Paesi può essere costruito su una base già ampiamente solida, che è cartina di tornasole per individuare nuove partnership.

Come è noto, la cooperazione energetica è stato uno dei pilastri del partenariato bilaterale, grazie al gasdotto TAP, che ha permesso di inviare in Italia quasi 48 miliardi di metri cubi di gas tra il 2021 e il 2025. Si tratta di un’infrastruttura decisamente strategica per la diversificazione degli approvvigionamenti energetici italiani ed europei, per cui Baku e Roma intendono mettere a frutto questa buona relazione al fine di lavorare per nuove filiere industriali e tecnologiche. L’incontro, aperto dal vicepresidente di Confindustria per l’Energia, Aurelio Regina, ha approfondito le opportunità di cooperazione tra i due Paesi. Le imprese azere hanno presentato progetti e possibili ambiti di collaborazione, seguiti da incontri B2B con le aziende italiane.

Le voci

“Il partenariato strategico tra Italia e Azerbaigian si rafforza con una nuova prospettiva: affiancare alla consolidata collaborazione energetica tra i nostri Paesi nuovi investimenti azeri nel nostro sistema produttivo”, ha affermato il ministro delle Imprese e del Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso. “Vogliamo costruire con l’Azerbaigian una partnership tecnologica e industriale che valorizzi le eccellenze italiane nei settori più innovativi, dall’intelligenza artificiale applicata ai processi produttivi, fino alla robotica avanzata. La dichiarazione congiunta sulle materie prime critiche firmata oggi va in questa direzione: unire risorse azere e competenze italiane per diversificare gli approvvigionamenti e promuovere investimenti lungo l’intera filiera, anche con il possibile sostegno del Fondo Nazionale del Made in Italy”, ha aggiunto. “L’Azerbaigian può essere un partner importante anche per il progetto di deposito strategico di materie prime critiche che l’Italia si candida a realizzare a Porto Marghera: un primo sito pilota europeo per proteggere le industrie italiane ed europee dagli shock nelle forniture e rafforzare la nostra autonomia strategica”.

“La cooperazione energetica è un pilastro delle relazioni tra Italia e Azerbaigian, ma oggi abbiamo l’opportunità di rafforzare e ampliare questa partnership a nuovi settori strategici, dalle materie prime critiche alla metallurgia, dall’intelligenza artificiale alle tecnologie digitali. Il nostro export verso l’Azerbaigian ha raggiunto i 432 milioni di euro nel 2025, ma possiamo fare molto di più: secondo le stime del nostro Centro Studi esiste un potenziale aggiuntivo di oltre 110 milioni di euro”, ha dichiarato il Presidente di Confindustria Emanuele Orsini. “L’obiettivo è trasformare queste opportunità in progetti industriali, investimenti e collaborazioni di lungo periodo, valorizzando le competenze e le tecnologie delle nostre imprese e contribuendo alla diversificazione produttiva dell’Azerbaigian. Confindustria è pronta a sostenere questo percorso e a favorire nuove sinergie tra i due sistemi produttivi, anche in vista del prossimo Business Forum di Baku”.

“L’Azerbaigian è un partner strategico per l’Italia, sia sul piano economico che su quello politico e vogliamo rafforzare ulteriormente le opportunità di cooperazione industriale, anche nel settore delle materie prime critiche. La Dichiarazione congiunta sulla cooperazione strategica offrirà una cornice per integrare le competenze italiane con il potenziale minerario azero, lungo l’intera filiera, dall’estrazione alla trasformazione e al riciclo”, ha detto il ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani.

Le prospettive

La capacità di intercettare le nuove rotte geopolitiche a cavallo tra Caucaso e Mare Nostrum è all’origine dell’intensificarsi delle relazioni tra Italia e Azerbaigian, convinzione che il Governo Meloni ha da subito avuta ben chiara nelle priorità internazionali. Baku rappresenta un peculiare partner che si inserisce alla perfezione nel concetto di Mediterraneo Globale, da dove Roma può tessere nuove relazioni e imprimere un’accelerazione alle proprie priorità. Se in principio il nesso era essenzialmente circoscritto al dossier energetico coagulatosi attorno al TAP, progressivamente le interlocuzioni del viceministro degli Esteri Edmondo Cirielli e di quello delle Imprese e del Made in Italy Urso hanno rafforzato anche le relazioni personali, oltre che di sistema tra i due Paesi. Molto lavoro negli ultimi anni si deve anche all’ambasciatore Rashad Aslanov, che ha da poco lasciato Roma per la nuova destinazione in Turchia.

Ukrainian drone maker Wild Hornets is rethinking projects it is currently working on, including launching interceptors from aerial platforms, because of limits on SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet. Spokesman Mike Orliuk told The War Zone (TWZ) this on 20 October. The company builds Sting interceptors, which it says destroyed over 15,000 Shaheds and Gerberas, a cheaper Shahed lookalike, in a year. Orliuk said Sting’s current operations are unaffected.

The stakes rise as Russia shifts to faster drones. Ukrainian defense technology adviser Serhii Beskrestnov counted more than 2,500 jet-powered Gerans, Russia’s version of the Shahed, in August. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on 16 October that these drones fly faster than 400 km/h. He added that some Ukrainian interceptors chasing them work through Starlink. When the link was slowed, Ukraine could not intercept some of them, he said.

How Sting stays connected

“Our own communications system provides the basic connection to our interceptors,” Orliuk said. The company’s remote-control technology can draw on various internet sources, he added, though the military often uses Starlink. Even then, the terminal does not need to move at high speed. It only links the command center to a ground station, which Orliuk compared to a cell tower.

“For these needs, everything is operating normally with Starlink at the moment,” he said.

An air-launch project under review

“Some drones carry a terminal on board and need to fly at high speed with it,” Orliuk said. “In such cases, Starlink’s limitations make their operation impossible.”

That is why the company is rethinking the air-launch project. Wild Hornets has made no clear decision yet but will test alternatives, Orliuk said. He declined to describe them.

“I believe, in any case, depending on a single solution is very risky,” he said.

Other firms share the concern

Orliuk said he has spoken with other companies that rely far more on Starlink and have expressed concerns. He pointed to growing interest in Europe’s Eutelsat network, though “creating something like Starlink won’t be easy.”

Who ordered the slowdown remains unclear. The order to slow Ukraine’s Starshield service came from inside the White House, two US officials and a Western official said. A US official told TWZ the president never made such a request. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on 17 October that the slowdown had “nothing to do with the White House” and called “a report on that” “categorically false,” without saying which report he meant.

The European Commission is checking whether laws Ukraine’s parliament passed last week earn it a €3.7 billion ($4.3 billion) EU payment, spokesperson Balázs Ujvári told reporters in Brussels on 19 October. He also said Ukraine’s 2027 funding gap stands at about €70 billion, and that the EU “cannot do this all alone.” How Ukraine pays for Russia’s war next year now depends on reforms in Kyiv and on money from Europe and beyond.

Russia keeps striking Ukraine’s power grid and cities, and Kyiv already faces a hole in next year’s war budget before any new military spending. Foreign money keeps salaries, pensions, and repairs flowing while Ukraine spends its own revenue on defense. So each delayed payment is felt at home while Russia hits the energy system again.

Brussels reads Kyiv’s new laws before paying

The payment is the second tranche of the EU’s macro-financial assistance to Ukraine, and each one depends on reforms, Ujvári said at the Commission’s midday briefing.

“We saw that last week some important laws were adopted in the Rada, and we are in the process of analyzing these laws and we will formulate our assessment thereafter,” he said.

On its third attempt, parliament passed a law on 15 October ending the VAT exemption for foreign parcels worth up to €150 from 1 July 2027, and making online marketplaces collect the tax. The Commission had warned the law was one of 12 conditions for the tranche. Fewer than 1% of the 75 million parcels Ukrainians receive each year were taxed, and lawmakers had rejected the measure twice despite IMF pressure.

About €30 billion is in the pipeline for Ukraine this year, mostly under the EU’s €90 billion support loan, if reforms continue, Ujvári said.

A €70 billion gap for 2027

Current pledges leave a gap of about €70 billion for 2027, Ujvári said, even counting the €45 billion ($52 billion) the EU has set aside for next year and some partners’ commitments.

“We cannot do this all alone. Therefore, our partners in general must step up,” he said. “They have to come forward with pledges, and they have to deliver on those commitments.”

On 16 October, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked EU leaders for at least €70 billion more for 2027. They tasked the Commission with a proposal but set no deadline. Asked whether it would revisit using frozen Russian assets, Ujvári said it was “a little bit early” to discuss options in that detail. New EU borrowing has also grown costlier: 10-year rates rose from 3.2% to just above 4% in six months, he said.

The €90 billion loan was designed on the assumption that the war would end in 2026. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said Slovakia and Hungary would opt out of new aid but would not block others.

Trois artisans du Morbihan paient 5 000 euros d’analyses pour prouver qu’ils respectent un seuil dont on a changé la méthode de mesure. Six États membres ont demandé et obtenu la dérogation prévue par le texte européen. Paris a refusé de la solliciter, au nom de l’égalité de traitement des fabricants.

À Guémené-sur-Scorff, dans le Morbihan, il ne reste que trois producteurs artisanaux de cette spécialité fumée au bois de hêtre. Leur savoir-faire, attesté depuis au moins le XVIIIe siècle, pourrait-il être fragilisé par une méthode de contrôle devenue plus contraignante ? L’affaire mérite mieux qu’une réponse servie froide au nom de la réglementation.

Une peau de boyau suffit à faire flamber les résultats

L’andouille de Guémené est fabriquée à partir de chaudins de porc fumés, puis séchés pendant deux à trois semaines. Le fumage dépose sur la peau des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP), des substances issues notamment de la combustion, dont certaines présentent des risques sanitaires. Le benzo[a]pyrène, l’un des HAP surveillés, est notamment classé génotoxique : il peut endommager le matériel génétique des cellules.

La réglementation européenne, durcie en 2011 et applicable depuis le 1er septembre 2014, fixe pour les viandes fumées des plafonds de 12 microgrammes par kilogramme pour la somme de quatre HAP et de 2 microgrammes par kilogramme pour le benzo[a]pyrène. Un régime dérogatoire destiné à certains produits traditionnels permet respectivement 30 et 5 microgrammes par kilogramme.

L’Irlande, la Pologne, l’Espagne, le Portugal, la Croatie et Chypre en bénéficient. Pas la France, qui n’a jamais sollicité ce dispositif. Selon les producteurs, la méthode d’analyse a également changé : jusqu’en 2016, les contrôles s’effectuaient sans la peau ; depuis, celle-ci est intégrée lorsque le boyau est considéré comme comestible. Aucune instruction administrative publiée n’est toutefois citée pour documenter ce changement.

Benoît Rivalan, de la Maison Rivalan-Quidu et président de la Maison de l’andouille, rapporte des résultats d’environ 150 µg/kg peau comprise, contre 10 à 15 µg/kg lorsqu’une gaine textile est utilisée avant fumage. Ces chiffres sont ceux du producteur, et non ceux d’une série d’analyses publiques. Il affirme avoir dépensé environ 5 000 euros en analyses sur un seul mois.

Pendant que Bruxelles fixe les seuils, les artisans paient l’addition

Début septembre 2026, la Maison de l’andouille a temporairement suspendu ses ventes. Une pétition a recueilli près de 20 000 signatures. Le député du Morbihan Jean-Michel Jacques réclame des seuils dérogatoires adaptés aux fabrications traditionnelles ou le retour à l’ancien protocole, accompagné d’une mention sur l’emballage déconseillant la consommation de la peau.

Trois groupes politiques ont porté un vœu examiné au Conseil régional de Bretagne le 15 octobre. La veille, la préfecture du Morbihan annonçait qu’une solution était « en passe d’être finalisée ». Dès le lendemain, la question gagnait la Normandie, où l’andouille de Vire est également concernée. Ni la DGAL, ni la direction départementale du Morbihan, ni la Commission européenne ne sont citées dans les sources disponibles comme ayant répondu aux interrogations soulevées. L’andouille de Guémené ne bénéficie par ailleurs ni d’une AOP ni d’une IGP : sa protection ne repose donc pas sur ces labels européens.

Protéger les consommateurs est légitime ; expliquer pourquoi certains pays ont obtenu des aménagements quand Paris n’a pas engagé la démarche l’est tout autant.L’accusation de fabrication non conforme est savoureuse : elle est servie chaude par des administrations qui n’ont pas demandé la dérogation, ne répondent pas et laissent trois artisans payer pour une peau que personne ne mange. Si quelqu’un andouille le consommateur dans cette histoire, ce n’est pas le charcutier de Guémené.
