French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg to Paris with a warning about the company’s conduct
Social media has been challenged in France including Instagram and WhatsApp over its perceived failure to tackle violent extremism, hate speech and disinformation across its platforms. Mr. Macron met Mr. Zuckerberg and the company’s new head of public policy, Sir Nick Clegg, who was formerly the UK deputy prime minister and head of the Liberal Democrat party. Mr. Hughes said he felt “a sense of anger and responsibility” about the damage being caused by the platform. He described Facebook’s “sloppy privacy practices” and “slow response to Russian agents, violent rhetoric and fake news” as well as its “unbounded drive” to capture its user’s time and attention.
To tackle dangerous content Facebook has stated it is attempting to address the problems which have been raised, and the regulators in France praised the company for its work. However, they also criticized the firm for failing to provide them with enough information about its algorithms, which meant they were unable to assess how well they worked. “The report sets out a path towards a new model for content regulation that has the potential to be both effective and workable. “It would allow platforms to develop innovative solutions to keep their users safe while being clearly accountable to a regulator for how well they do this.”

The lender said it was in “final discussions” over raising new capital but its statement did little to impress investors
Metro Bank has been forced to raise fresh capital after a major accounting error first disclosed in January, which has spooked investors and sent its market value tumbling. Metro Bank’s problems were compounded over the weekend when it was forced to deny “false rumors” circulating on social media - with a WhatsApp message advising people to withdraw money from their accounts and empty their safe deposit boxes. Meanwhile, in an interview, chief executive Craig Donaldson revealed that Metro Bank was considering plans to sell £1bn worth of loans at the center of the accounting blunder that has plunged the bank into crisis. The impact of the mistake was demonstrated by quarterly results showing that Metro Bank’s profits had halved and it had suffered an exodus of corporate customers. Metro Bank has 1.7 million customers and describes itself as “the revolution in British banking”, employing a model founded on friendly customer service. However, its recent travails have dented its hopes of growing its deposit base by 20% this year. Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: “While Metro Bank has done its best to reassure customers that their money is safe, pictures of one of its branches packed with individuals wanting to cash out is damaging to its reputation and could hurt new customer growth, at least in the short term. “Assuming it raises £350m later this week, Metro Bank will then have to prove to the market and its customers that the business is robust and capable of growing without needing regular capital injections and also without a repeat of the recent accounting error.”

Shares in the ride-hailing app were down amid concerns about whether such companies are able to turn a profit
The US ride-hailing firm had priced its IPO cautiously at $45 (£34.50) a share, giving it a market value of $82.4bn (£63.1bn) ahead of its debut on the New York Stock Exchange. The IPO price was already almost a third less than what investment bankers had predicted last year, with Uber settling for a lower valuation amid a series of investor concerns including profitability and the lukewarm reception for rival Lyft’s market debut. Lyft went public six weeks ago - but its share price has tumbled by more than 20% from its IPO price set in late March. Although the company’s co-founder Travis Kalanick was ousted as chief executive two years ago, his outstanding stake in the business was expected to be worth $5.3bn (£4.1bn). He was spotted on the trading floor of the NYSE as the bell was rung in the presence of his successor, Dara Khosrowshahi. The firm was also accused of covering up a computer break-in that stole personal information about its passengers. Uber has faced several controversies in recent years - including claims of sexual harassment within the company and allegations that it stole self-driving car technology. Uber has been trying to make amends with drivers. More than 5.2 billion trips were completed using Uber last year - delivering food and giving rides to its 91 million passengers. The company said it had reached a settlement with tens of thousands who claimed they had been improperly classified as contractors, at a cost of up to $170m (£130m).

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said there is a risk the US and Iran could end up at war unintentionally
It comes after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo canceled the Moscow leg of his trip to Russia to discuss Iran’s latest nuclear threat with Mr. Hunt and his European counterparts in Brussels instead. Speaking as he arrived for the talks, Mr. Hunt said: “We are very worried about the risk of a conflict happening by accident with an escalation that is unintended on either side. “ This is already the most unstable region in the world and this would be a massive step in the wrong direction if Iran becomes a nuclear power. Its neighbors are likely to want to become nuclear powers.” Mr. Pompeo said Iran had made several statements on the matter “to get the world to jump” and the US would wait and see what action Tehran would “actually” take. “In the event that Iran decided to come after an American interest - whether that be in Iraq or Afghanistan or Yemen or any place in the Middle East - we are prepared to respond in an appropriate way,” he said of the decision to dispatch the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Gulf. “Our aim is not war,” he added.
