The investigation was launched by China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) following complaints and concerns raised about NVIDIA's business practices in the country. The specifics of the alleged violations have not been publicly disclosed, but industry experts speculate that NVIDIA's dominant position in the GPU market and its pricing strategies may be under scrutiny.A new year invariably brings new products, and the motorcycle industry is no exception. With 2024 coming to a close, it's time to take stock of what our favorite motorcycle brands are bringing to the table for 2025 — and this time, it's Yamaha's turn. The long-running Japanese manufacturer has been building bikes since the 1940s , and it has a healthy range of two-wheeled offerings, from entry-level naked and sports bikes all the way to ultra-high-performance flagship products like the legendary Yamaha YZF-R1 . While not every one of these bikes is getting the update treatment for 2025, the company has outlined six motorcycles getting big changes. There's also a brand-new sports bike in the mix that sits between the YZF-R1 and R7, which should be great news for those who've been yearning for something spicier than the latter, without the cost of the former. A quick word before we begin: this list focuses solely on the products Yamaha is updating or introducing for 2025. This doesn't mean that they're the only bikes Yamaha will sell in 2025; many models are returning for 2025 without any major changes, so they're not going to be on this list. With that little caveat out of the way, though, let's get started. We start our look at Yamaha's 2025 bikes with the company's update of the MT-03, its entry-level — and very affordable — naked motorcycle. First debuting in 2006 as a 660cc bike, the MT-03 as we know it today is essentially a reskinned Yamaha YZF-R3, with the 2016 model repackaging the R3's 321cc parallel-twin engine and frame in the form of a naked bike. Yamaha updated the MT-03 for 2020, retaining the powertrain but adding a new suspension setup — including a preload-adjustable shock at the rear — and larger brakes, as well as an LCD instrument cluster. Reviewers at the time loved the updated bike, and Yamaha has cleverly opted not to change too much with the 2025 MT-03, leaving most of the upgrades it introduced in 2020 in place. So the suspension and braking setup is the same as it's been for the past four years, as is the engine. Instead, Yamaha has tried to make the MT-03 even more beginner-friendly, improving the ergonomics with a slimmer rider's seat to help riders reach the ground more easily, as well as a wider passenger seat. An Assist & Slipper clutch also comes to the MT-03, smoothing out downshifts and making the clutch lever easier to pull. Other updates include a redesigned tail and new smartphone connectivity, which allows the updated LCD instrument cluster — with a USB port — to display incoming calls, emails, and message notifications. The 2025 Yamaha MT-03's MSRP stays at $4,999. Those of you who prefer sports bike styling will be pleased to know that Yamaha is also updating its beginner-friendly YZF offering , the YZF-R3, for 2025. The new YZF-R3 retains the 321cc engine that has powered it — and the MT-03 — since its 2015 debut, with Yamaha also opting to keep the suspension and tire upgrades it introduced in 2019 for 2025. Like the MT-03, then, the 2025 YZF-R3's updates focus more on the rider experience, with the company seemingly looking to make the R3 even more accessible than it has been before. To that end, the 2025 Yamaha YZF-R3 has a narrower seat and less obtrusive side covers, to allow riders to reach the ground more comfortably. An Assist & Slipper clutch also comes standard for 2025, with its assist and slipper cams making for more controlled downshifts and a lighter clutch lever. As with the MT-03, the YZF-R3 has updated smartphone functionality via Yamaha's Y-Connect app, which lets the new 5-inch LCD show notifications and useful info like distance covered, current location, and fuel consumption. All of these new features come wrapped in a revised exterior that draws inspiration from Yamaha's MotoGP bike. You get a new front, side panels, and tail section, with LED lights all across the board. You can expect to pay $5,499 for the 2025 YZF-R3, the same as the 2024 model. The MT-03 isn't the only updated bike in Yamaha's MT family for 2025. Launching in the U.S. as the FZ-07, Yamaha's 689cc naked bike adopted the MT-07 moniker for the American market in 2018. The motorcycle got more than just a new name, though, with new bodywork and an upgraded suspension — with new spring rates and adjustable rebound in the rear — addressing a common criticism of the MT-07's first iteration. In 2025, Yamaha is once again turning its attention to the MT-07, bringing significant aesthetic and functional upgrades. The 689cc motorbike is getting a much more thorough redesign than the MT-03, with a new headlight unit aligning its look with the next model up in the range, the 890cc MT-09. The tank is also getting slimmer, and the tail section and seat assembly are getting adjustments for improved ergonomics. Mechanical updates include a new KYB suspension, with a 41-millimeter front fork and monocross rear shock for more aggressive ride and handling. We also get new front brakes, lighter SpinForged wheels, and an Assist & Slipper clutch for smoother downshifts. Yamaha is also introducing its Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), which provides better power delivery and enables Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) rider aids, including traction control and differing throttle responses. Finally, Yamaha rounds off the package with a new 5-inch, full-color TFT and smartphone connectivity — including navigation app support. Unlike the MT-03, the MT-07's MSRP climbs slightly for 2025, with the updated version starting at $8,599. First introduced in 2016, Yamaha's neo-retro XSR900 is stepping into the future in 2025. Yamaha is bringing an injection of fresh technology without losing the retro charm of what Cycle World hailed as the "best middleweight streetbike" back in 2016. The XSR900 was never a truly retro bike, mind you: The looks may be old-school, but the Yamaha MT-09-derived three-cylinder 890cc powertrain was always thoroughly modern, with traction control and multiple power delivery profiles on hand, as you would find in many modern bikes. And for 2025, Yamaha is leaning into this retro-modern hybridity even more. The XSR900 is getting a 5-inch TFT display — with an emulated analog tachometer exclusive to the XSR900 — and smartphone connectivity, YRC ride modes — sport, street, and rain, plus two user-customizable modes — and a Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL) to let riders set a maximum speed. Other updates for 2025 include the Back Slip Regulator (BSR), which helps in low-grip situations by limiting how much torque the engine sends to the rear wheel during engine braking. The 2025 XSR900 also gets Yamaha's third-generation quick-shifter for clutchless up- and downshifts, a customizable KYB rear suspension, and rejigged ergonomics — including 14 positions for the clutch lever, a new seat design, and reshaped handlebars. The 2025 Yamaha XSR900 starts at $10,599, a slight increase from the $10,299 of the 2024 model. Yamaha's 2025 refreshes aren't limited to its road bikes. The Ténéré 700 is getting a full refresh for 2025 too, bringing a host of new features and changes to the Japanese manufacturer's adventure bike. First introduced in 2019, the Ténéré 700 is a much-loved adventure bike capable of on- and off-road action. 2025 sees Yamaha's biggest update thus far, following some smaller updates in the years prior — including the first introduction of the TFT display and adjustable ABS settings in 2023. That TFT display is one of the big upgrades for 2025, with the new model now sporting a 6.3-inch screen to complement enhanced smartphone connectivity, with the Ténéré 700 allowing riders to make and receive phone calls, use Google Maps, and listen to music. The 2025 Ténéré 700 also gets Yamaha's YCC-T ride-by-wire system, allowing two user-selectable throttle maps and a traction control system. Yamaha's also specced a new KYB suspension, with a 43-millimeter adjustable front fork and linked-type monocross rear shock now standard. Power also sees a boost, with a new air intake allegedly improving torque at lower revs. Finally, the 2025 Ténéré 700 gets new bodywork and improved ergonomics, with the result being an adventure bike that should stay competitive against all the Ténéré 700 alternatives out there. Yamaha has increased the Ténéré 700's MSRP to $10,999 for 2025. And now we come to the only all-new motorcycle coming to Yamaha's lineup for 2025, the Yamaha YZF-R9 . As the name suggests, the YZF-R9 is part of Yamaha's YZF family of performance motorcycles , aiming to offer high-end performance in a more accessible and inviting package than Yamaha's more hardcore sport bikes. That doesn't mean the R9 is a slouch — far from it. The YZF-R9 sports Yamaha's three-cylinder, 890cc CP3 engine as seen in the XSR900 and MT-09, but with tweaked ECU settings and taller gearing allowing for a wider torque curve and total power output of 117 hp. Encasing this three-cylinder engine is a lightweight Deltabox aluminum chassis that Yamaha claims is the lightest ever seen on a Yamaha sports bike. Fully adjustable KYB suspension connects the frame to the wheels, which sport Brembo Stylema brakes and toggleable rear-wheel ABS for hardcore track days. Yamaha's high-tech YZF-R1 tech trickles down to the new kid in the form of a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which provides info to the YZF-R9's selection of rider aids — a nine-mode traction control system, three-mode slide and lift control systems, and braking assist. As with most of Yamaha's updated 2025 models, the YZF-R9 displays all essential information on a 5-inch TFT screen with five themes, including a dedicated track mode. Smartphone connectivity via the Yamaha Y-Connect app is also available, as is navigation via Garmin's StreetCross. The Yamaha YZF-R9 will set you back $12,499. Sitting at the top of Yamaha's 2025 offerings price-wise is the updated Tracer 9, the company's flagship touring bike. First debuting as the MT-09 Tracer in 2015, the motorcycle was last updated in 2021, when it debuted the Tracer 9 name alongside the fully redesigned Yamaha MT-09 on which it's based . But where the MT-09 isn't getting any big updates for 2025, Yamaha has seen fit to bring a bevy of changes to the Tracer 9 to keep it competitive against the other major sport touring bikes . The headline addition to the Tracer 9 for 2025 is Yamaha's YRC, which lets riders adjust engine power and rider aids according to preference. YRC on the Tracer 9 has three preset modes — sport, street, and rain — with two slots for user-customized YRC settings. Yamaha's speed limiter also debuts for 2025, allowing you to set a preferred speed limit. But 2025 isn't all about new tech: the Tracer 9 gets a new frame and subframe for better handling and comfort, which, combined with ergonomic improvements like a new handlebar angle and more comfortable seats, should make for even better long-distance riding than before. Yamaha is also introducing a new 7-inch TFT on the Tracer 9, and the extra-large display sports three themes for the rider to choose from. Other modern conveniences include a USB-C port — for charging and powering devices — and a dedicated smartphone box. The 2025 Tracer 9 starts at $12,599.

Their ages vary. But a conspicuous handful of filmmaking lions in winter, or let’s say late autumn, have given us new reasons to be grateful for their work over the decades — even for the work that didn’t quite work. Which, yes, sounds like ingratitude. But do we even want more conventional or better-behaved work from talents such as Francis Ford Coppola? Even if we’re talking about ? If Clint Eastwood’s gave audiences a less morally complicated courtroom drama, would that have mattered, given Warner Bros.’ butt-headed decision to plop it in less than three dozen movie theaters in the U.S.? Coppola is 85. Eastwood is 94. Paul Schrader, whose latest film “Oh, Canada” arrives this week and is well worth seeking out, is a mere 78. Based on the 2021 Russell Banks novel “Foregone,” “Oh, Canada” is the story of a documentary filmmaker, played by Richard Gere, being interviewed near the end of his cancer-shrouded final days. In the Montreal home he shares with his wife and creative partner, played by Uma Thurman, he consents to the interview by two former students of his. Gere’s character, Leonard Fife, has no little contempt for these two, whom he calls “Mr. and Mrs. Ken Burns of Canada” with subtle disdain. As we learn over the artful dodges and layers of past and present, events imagined and/or real, Fife treats the interview as a final confession from a guarded and deceptive soul. He’s also a hero to everyone in the room, famous for his anti-Vietnam war political activism, and for the Frederick Wiseman-like inflection of his own films’ interview techniques. The real-life filmmaker name-checked in “Oh, Canada” is documentarian Errol Morris, whose straight-to-the-lens framing of interview subjects was made possible by his Interrotron device. In Schrader’s adaptation, Fife doesn’t want the nominal director (Michael Imperioli, a nicely finessed embodiment of a second-rate talent with first-rate airs) in his eyeline. Rather, as he struggles with hazy, self-incriminating memories of affairs, marriages, one-offs with a friend’s wife and a tense, brief reunion with the son he never knew, Fife wants only his wife, Emma — his former Goddard College student — in this metaphoric confessional. Schrader and his editor Benjamin Rodriguez Jr. treat the memories as on-screen flashbacks spanning from 1968 to 2023. At times, Gere and Thurman appear as their decades-young selves, without any attempt to de-age them, digitally or otherwise. (Thank god, I kind of hate that stuff in any circumstance.) In other sequences from Fife’s past, Jacob Elordi portrays Fife, with sly and convincing behavioral details linking his performance to Gere’s persona. We hear frequent voiceovers spoken by Gere about having ruined his life by age 24, at least spiritually or morally. Banks’ novel is no less devoted to a dying man’s addled but ardent attempt to come clean and own up to what has terrified him the most in the mess and joy of living: Honesty. Love. Commitment. There are elements of “Oh, Canada” that soften Banks’ conception of Fife, from the parentage of Fife’s abandoned son to the specific qualities of Gere’s performance. It has been 44 years since Gere teamed with Schrader on “American Gigolo,” a movie made by a very different filmmaker with very different preoccupations of hetero male hollowness. It’s also clearly the same director at work, I think. And Gere remains a unique camera object, with a stunning mastery of filling a close-up with an unblinking stillness conveying feelings easier left behind. The musical score is pretty watery, and with Schrader you always get a few lines of tortured rhetoric interrupting the good stuff. In the end, “Oh, Canada” has an extraordinarily simple idea at its core: That of a man with a movie camera, most of his life, now on the other side of the lens. Not easy. “I can’t tell the truth unless that camera’s on!” he barks at one point. I don’t think the line from the novel made it into Schrader’s script, but it too sums up this lion-in-winter feeling of truth without triumphal Hollywood catharsis. The interview, Banks wrote, is one’s man’s “last chance to stop lying.” It’s also a “final prayer,” dramatized by the Calvinist-to-the-bone filmmaker who made sure to include that phrase in his latest devotion to final prayers and missions of redemption.

State St.;In a thrilling match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and their rivals, the moment of controversy that shook the footballing world occurred when Wolves' star striker Raúl Jiménez was fouled in the penalty area by the opposing team's defender, prompting a loud uproar from the fans and players alike. The incident, which took place in the dying minutes of the game with the score tied at 1-1, seemed like a clear-cut penalty situation, but the match referee surprisingly chose not to award a spot-kick, even after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was consulted.

The Portuguese arrived in Manchester last month to replace Erik ten Hag and the board at the Premier League giants have a lot of faith in the 39-year-old being the one to take the club back to the top of the English game. It has been a mixed start to life at Man United for the young coach, however, United’s win over Viktoria Plzen on Thursday saw at the Manchester club. Having changed the system at Old Trafford, one player Amorim has not fancied is Marcus Rashford as the local hero has not been a regular starter since the Portuguese coach took over. The England star began the last two Premier League games from the bench, which will not go down well with the winger. The 27-year-old has been underperforming at the Manchester club for two seasons now and many fans of the Red Devils have had enough of the player. A report from states that if Amorim can’t fit Rashford into his system throughout the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign, the winger could be sold next summer. Barcelona ready to look into signing Man United star Marcus Rashford Should Man United be open to selling Rashford next summer, the report states that Barcelona are likely to emerge as the top contenders to sign the winger. The La Liga giants are interested in the 27-year-old and would look into a potential deal more closely in the new year if they suspect he could be acquired after previously being sceptical about tempting him away from the Manchester club. PSG and Bayern Munich have also been named as potential destinations for the Englishman. given his recent performances and it remains to be seen if Barcelona can afford that. The Catalan club continue to deal with financial issues and given they already have incredible wingers, the Spanish giants may decide to spend that money on other areas.In a shocking turn of events, a bath center in Zhengzhou reported multiple cases of fainting in the women's bathing area, all due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
