Britain has a new prime minister already making moves, the Iran war keeps claiming American lives, and astronomers just found four stars that were hiding in plain sight. Here’s what’s worth your ten minutes today.

1. Andy Burnham becomes Britain’s new prime minister. Keir Starmer stepped down and Burnham is now the country’s seventh prime minister in a decade. He’s promising a cost of living reset and a ten year plan, so expect big policy moves soon.
2. Most bus fares in England will be capped at £2 from January. It’s one of new PM Burnham’s first concrete moves, aimed at easing the cost of living for commuters. Riders who spend hours on buses each day stand to save hundreds of pounds a year.
3. Trump attends return of soldiers killed in the Iran war as the American toll climbs. Four more service members came home to Dover Air Force Base this week, and the president is vowing payback. The conflict shows no sign of cooling off.
4. Democrats set South Carolina to vote first in the 2028 primary calendar. The party is prioritizing Black and Latino voters by putting South Carolina and Nevada ahead of New Hampshire and Iowa. It’s an early sign of how the next presidential race will be fought.
5. Former Lloyd’s of London boss’s relationship breached company rules. The insurance market’s chairman said the ex chief executive’s conduct fell well short of expectations. It’s a rare public rebuke inside one of the City’s oldest institutions.
6. Will your job be replaced by AI? Here are the roles most affected. AI companies make big claims about automating human work, and this breakdown shows which jobs are actually seeing the impact so far. It’s worth a look if you’re wondering how safe your own role is.
7. Thames Water lenders offer a ‘golden share’ to head off nationalisation. The struggling utility’s creditors are trying to keep the UK government from taking it over. How this plays out could shape what happens to Britain’s other shaky water companies.
8. Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk accuses rival Eli Lilly of false advertising. Novo Nordisk says Lilly’s ads for its own weight loss drug are misleading, a claim Lilly denies. The fight shows just how much money is riding on the weight loss drug boom.
9. Astronomers find four hidden white dwarf stars close to Earth. The stars were tucked behind brighter companion stars that drowned out their light until a Warwick University team spotted them. One of them is now the ninth closest white dwarf to the sun.
10. New dinosaur species as long as a cricket pitch discovered in Thailand. The plant eating giant, named Uragasaurus kalasinensis, is thought to have roamed the region about 150 million years ago. It’s a reminder of how much of the fossil record is still waiting to be dug up.
