President Trump's sons join crypto firm Hut 8 to launch bitcoin mining company: CNBC Crypto World

Ten years ago, the Islamic State was tearing through Syria as the country collapsed into civil war. Today, Syria is at another historic crossroads that could see conflict break out yet again at a moment's notice.

In January 2025, MailOnline's Chief Foreign Reporter David Averre and cameraman Charlie Craven spent 10 days travelling through Rojava - a Kurdish-led autonomous region in northern Syria.

We see what life is like now for the people who triumphed over the jihadists. We find out how this fledgling democracy in the Middle East is coping with the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of new Islamist rulers HTS. And we discover firsthand the constant threats its people face from Turkey and Turkish-backed militias as they try to rebuild their shattered nation.

With interest rates at a 22-year high, Michael Pugh says Black business owners crunched for cash should look to community-based financial institutions for help.“Learn more about them; we have a very different scope [regarding loan arrangements],” Pugh, the CEO of New York-based Carver Federal Savings Bank, tells Forbes of community banks. “We have to make sure we extend our arms and get out there and tell people what they need to know to start achieving that generational wealth.”August is National Black Business Month, and ForbesBLK is highlighting the theme with special discussions about sustaining and expanding Black firms. Based in Harlem, Carver is one of the largest Black-run financial institutions in the U.S., celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2023. The bank is named after George Washington Carver and trades on the NASDAQ. Pugh was named CEO in 2012.Black businesses generated $206 billion in annual revenue and supported 3.56 million U.S. jobs in the last decade, according to the non-profit Brookings Institution. However, though Black people comprise 14.7% of the U.S. population, the community represents 12.4% of sole proprietorship and only 2.4% of employer businesses. Brookings said the stats show “disparities” that hold back Black entrepreneurs and “restrict economic opportunities for entire communities, which in turn impacts local prosperity.” Brookings also notes that access to sufficient capital remains a lingering issue for Black-owned businesses. That causes entrepreneurs to rely on personal funds and credit cards to finance operations.

#farming2026 #smallfarmprofits #specialtycrops #forbiddenroots
Most farmers were taught the same rule:
scale up, plant more acres, spread the risk.

In 2026, that rule is destroying farms.

Across America, operations with perfect crops are losing their operating lines mid-season—not because of yield, not because of mismanagement, but because cash shows up too late.

At the same time, a small group of growers is doing something that looks insane on paper:
they’re shrinking on purpose.

Less land.
Fewer acres.
And somehow… more money.

This video breaks down the real numbers behind six specialty crops that generate six-figure income from less than one acre—crops that exist completely outside the commodity system.

You’ll see:
• Why good harvests no longer guarantee survival
• How banks actually underwrite farms in 2026
• Why “get big or get out” quietly erased high-value crops
• Six documented crops that outperform 600-acre operations
• How small growers bypass commodity pricing entirely

This isn’t theory.
It’s math.
And it explains why some farms are disappearing while others are quietly thriving.
