Instacart has agreed to pay up to $5m to settle U.S. federal allegations that it discriminated against American-born job applicants in favor of foreign workers holding temporary visas. The settlement includes a compensation fund of up to $4m for affected applicants and $1m in civil penalties. The grocery technology company must also change its recruitment practices, including publicly advertising jobs linked to the PERM program, the mandatory first step for employers sponsoring foreign workers for an employment-based green card, and accepting electronic applications. Instacart maintains that its hiring practices complied with U.S. law but agreed to settle to focus on its business operations.

Barclays plans to cut around 5,000 jobs, equivalent to about 5% of its global workforce, as part of a modernisation and cost-cutting programme that includes expanding its use of AI. Around 1,000 roles have already been eliminated, with a further 4,000 cuts expected by the end of the year. Most reductions will occur in its UK retail bank and support functions, with some roles affected in India. Barclays said AI was an increasingly important part of its technology strategy, but noted that the cuts were not all directly related to increased use of the technology. Chief executive CS Venkatakrishnan said AI is "the icing on the cake not the cake."

U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) has introduced legislation proposing a $2bn federal grant program to reduce class sizes in kindergarten through third grade at low-income public elementary schools. The Smaller Class Sizes for Students and Educators Act, backed by Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), would provide competitive grants to help school districts limit classes to no more than 18 students. Funding could support teacher recruitment, hiring, professional development, classroom expansion, and school building renovations. Brown has emphasized that smaller classes would allow educators to provide more individualized instruction, potentially improving student engagement and academic achievement. The proposal comes amid nationwide teacher shortages, staffing pressures, and constrained education budgets that have contributed to larger classrooms. Additional Democratic senators, including Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), have joined as cosponsors of the legislation.

The IRS has proposed adding a citizenship and work authorization question to Form 1040 for the 2027 tax filing season, raising concerns that the requirement could discourage millions of taxpayers, particularly undocumented immigrants, from filing returns. The draft form asks taxpayers and their spouses to disclose their citizenship or legal work status, while a proposed Schedule 3-A would introduce additional eligibility questions for refundable tax credits. Senate Democrats have urged the IRS to remove the question, citing concerns about taxpayer privacy and potential information sharing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Tax experts have warned that the proposal could also create uncertainty for temporary visa holders and international business travelers. The agency has not finalized the forms or released accompanying instructions, leaving questions about implementation, confidentiality, and potential revisions unresolved.

The Scottish Government has told MSPs it cannot determine how many convicted sex offenders, if any, may have grounds for appeal following a Supreme Court ruling on evidence admissible in sexual offence trials. The judgment found that Scotland’s rape shield laws had been interpreted too restrictively, potentially undermining defendants’ right to a fair trial. The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) has received 44 applications relating to the ruling, up from 15 in March, and expects the number of affected cases to be large. Officials have discussed the possibility of a group challenge similar to the Post Office Horizon scandal. Former Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain and former justice secretary Angela Constance warned the ruling could cause delays, adjournments and appeals across the justice system.

A federal judge in New Mexico has ordered Meta to pay $25bn after ruling that it deliberately misled the public about its handling of Facebook user data. Judge Francis Mathew said communications between senior executives were designed to mislead the public. "Facebook's wrongdoing - over the course of years and systematically broadcast to the public - goes to the heart of Facebook's core business practices," Mathew wrote. He found that a penalty of more than $219bn was warranted based on state law, but he reduced the figure to $25bn. The penalty would be among the largest payouts in U.S. legal history if it stands. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said the money must be spent on building schools. “We may have in fact paid for the construction of schools for the next several hundred years,” Torrez said. “I don’t actually know because the amounts that we’re dealing with are so huge.”

The identification of two critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language which underpins around 70% of the world’s websites, has led to government agencies and businesses worldwide taking their websites offline. The flaws could allow hackers to take control of web servers without a password. The organisation behind the language issued a patch on Wednesday after researchers testing cyberdefences discovered the flaws. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre told organisations to check for “backdoors installed by an attacker.” Prof Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert at Surrey University in the UK, said: “The big thing is for everyone using [the patch] to get that in to make sure their systems are safe. The troubling part is there is going to be a long tail of websites who may not be maintained as well and they are going to remain vulnerable, which means we may see weeks and months of ongoing attacks.”

SAP has reported growing customer concerns about the origins, security, and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) models embedded in enterprise software, as geopolitical tensions and data sovereignty requirements increasingly influence technology purchasing decisions. Chief financial officer Dominik Asam said clients are questioning whether AI models could expose sensitive information to unauthorized jurisdictions, particularly amid export restrictions and Europe's push for greater technological independence. SAP currently integrates more than 70 AI models from different providers into its accounting, supply chain, and business management software, allowing customers to select technologies that meet their security and regulatory requirements. Mr. Asam noted that government agencies and defense contractors face particularly stringent restrictions, while other businesses may accept models developed across multiple regions.
