Deutsche Telekom has successfully won a legal fight against EU antitrust regulators to receive interest on part of a fine reimbursed after an appeal, potentially setting a positive precedent for Intel's similar 593-million-euro claim. The European Commission imposed a 31 million euro fine on Deutsche Telekom in 2014, which was reduced to 19 million euros with a 1.8 million euro interest payment ordered to be given. The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in favor of Deutsche Telekom, stating that the Commission must pay interest on unduly imposed fines in competition cases. The ruling also affects other companies with similar claims for interest on annulled fines totaling about 800 million euros.

Three Democrat senators called on the Federal Reserve (Fed) to cut the federal funds rate from its current high of 5.5 percent, stating that the prolonged high-interest rates are slowing the economy and not addressing key drivers of inflation. They argue that the restrictive stance on interest rates is exacerbating inflation by increasing housing, construction, and auto insurance costs, potentially leading to a recession and job losses. The senators suggested the Fed should follow the European Central Bank's approach and move away from the 2% inflation target, which might help prevent economic slowdown caused by tight financial conditions.

A woman recently purchased a mango and was shocked to discover 'black hairs' covering the fruit after peeling it, making her too scared to eat it. The Department of Agriculture responded, reassuring the public not to worry. The 'brown fibers' seen on the mango are explained as a result of 'fibrous cellulose browning' within the fruit, which does not affect its safety for consumption. People can simply scrape off the brown fibers on the surface and still consume the mango normally.
