Europe Adjusts to Trump's New World Order

Brewdog employees are "really concerned" about their futures following news that the craft beer giant could be sold off, according to the Unite union. The potential sale, which could see the Aberdeenshire-based firm broken up, comes as financial experts AlixPartners have been brought in to attract new investors. Meanwhile, in other news, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to crack down on "addictive elements" of social media, and the US Department of Justice (DoJ) has released files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, though some lawmakers argue the release is insufficient.

Brewdog staff expressed their concerns after receiving only a single email from senior management, with some learning about the potential sale through press reports, according to the Unite union. The company, however, described the decision as a "normal and prudent step" in an email to staff seen by BBC Scotland News.

In the realm of online safety, Prime Minister Starmer announced plans to address loopholes in laws designed to protect children online. He emphasized the need for the law to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology, stating his desire for Britain to lead in online safety. New proposals include requiring tech giants to preserve all of a child's data if they die. Opponents have criticized the government's "inaction" and called for a parliamentary vote on a social media ban for children. Starmer asserted that no online platform would receive a "free pass" on the issue of children's online safety.

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has stated it released all files required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but lawmakers have disputed this claim. A letter sent to members of the US Congress from US Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy included a list of names appearing in the files. Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie, who co-wrote the law, called for the DoJ to release internal memos outlining past decisions on whether to charge Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.

In other developments, Europe is adjusting to a changing world order, according to a BBC World report. The southern region of Bavaria has become Germany's leading defense technology hub, focusing on AI and drones. Additionally, the city of Manchester is experiencing economic growth, raising questions about how to kickstart growth across the UK.
