The 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks is approaching next month and a prominent foundation serving first responders and servicemembers is partnering with a major beer brand as the American public remembers those who stepped forward in response to the attacks.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation and Anheuser-Busch have deepened their partnership in advance of the anniversary, with the company stepping in to help sponsor events around the country. Stephen Siller Jr., who manages the In the Line of Duty program at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, told FOX Business in an interview that the company stepped in to support the foundation’s “never forget” mission.

“For the 25th anniversary of September 11th, we wanted to give the country the opportunity to mourn. The events are very New York, Shanksville, Pentagon-focused – we wanted to do something this year where we traveled the country, allowing as many people as possible to pay their respects,” Siller explained.

This year, the group is traveling the country with a 21-foot, 16,900 pound beam from the South Tower of the World Trade Center with 35 stops in about 30 cities. The journey will conclude by going through a tunnel into New York City, following in the footsteps taken by Siller’s father as he responded to the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001.

Stephen Siller was an FDNY firefighter who was off-duty on the day of the September 11 attacks but responded to the World Trade Center after hearing the news. When he reached the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, it was closed to vehicle traffic for security purposes, so he walked through the tunnel while carrying his gear to the Twin Towers, where he was tragically killed while trying to save others.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation began with a run that followed his footsteps on September 11, and has built off that tradition with a growing number of events, including a tower climb where participants go up 104 flights of stairs at the World Trade Center and hundreds of run events around the country. This year’s “Steel Across America” tour builds on that legacy.

“One of our main goals when we set out on the steel tour across America was to make sure kids like me who were nine months old or not even born at the time understand what was done for them,” Siller said.

“We’re going to be arriving back in New York, taking that piece of steel through the tunnel following the footsteps my father took that day and ending at the World Trade Center after a long four months of speaking of the stories of that day, making sure the men and women who lost their lives that day will never be forgotten,” he added.

Anheuser-Busch has helped sponsor those events and also plans to re-air the Budweiser “Respect” commercial on September 11 for just the fourth time to commemorate the 25th anniversary. 

The commercial features the brand’s iconic Clydesdale horse mascots, which are depicted traveling into New York City and bowing at the Twin Tower memorial beams and the Freedom Tower.

Cesar Vargas, chief external affairs officer at Anheuser-Busch, noted that the original “Respect” ad aired just once during the 2002 Super Bowl, and has been re-aired to mark the 10th and 20th anniversaries of 9/11. The version that will air this year is the one that first aired on the 10th anniversary and includes the Freedom Tower.

“By partnering with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to re-air the commercial, we’re following that approach, honoring the ad’s original sentiment to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11,” Vargas said.

Vargas added that the company’s partnership serves to “honor the memory of those who were lost by providing meaningful support for the heroes who serve our communities and our country.”

Siller said that the advertisement is “in the same realm as our piece of steel is. It was a memento that is sacred, that was meant to pay respects to those who gave their lives on September 11th, those who give their lives to protect this country on a daily basis.”

The annual Tunnel to Towers NYC 5K Run & Walk is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27, which Anheuser-Busch is sponsoring for the fifth consecutive year with 250 employees, family members and friends participating. The event is capped at 30,000 participants.

The Budweiser Clydesdales will escort the Siller family in the opening procession, and the company plans to share commemorative cans at post-race gatherings.

Thailand and Qatar aim to boost tourism collaboration, focusing on luxury and wellness offerings. Despite a slight decline in Qatari visitors, extensive air connectivity supports ongoing promotional efforts targeting high-value travelers.

Key Points

• Thailand and Qatar aim to enhance tourism ties by focusing on luxury, wellness, medical, family, and culinary tourism to attract high-value travelers, leveraging Qatar’s strong purchasing power.
• Thai Ambassador Pensom Lertsithichai and TAT Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool discussed travel trends and opportunities on August 13, noting 13,603 Qatari visitors to Thailand from July 1 to August 9, a slight decline from last year.
• TAT will implement a “Value over Volume” strategy, targeting luxury and family travel, and increasing collaboration with Qatar Airways and local agencies to promote tourism and share market data.

Thailand and Qatar are seeking to expand tourism ties and attract more high-value travelers, with luxury, wellness, medical, family, and culinary tourism offering key growth opportunities in the Qatari market.

Thai Ambassador to Qatar, Pensom Lertsithichai, met with Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool on August 13 to discuss travel trends and future market opportunities. Qatar is an important Gulf Cooperation Council market for Thailand, supported by travelers with strong purchasing power and demand for premium tourism experiences.

Thailand welcomed 13,603 Qatari visitors between July 1 and August 9, a 0.52% decline from the same period last year despite uncertainty in the wider Middle East. Air connectivity remains extensive, with Qatar Airways operating a combined 49 weekly flights from Doha to Bangkok and Phuket.

TAT plans to pursue its “Value over Volume” strategy by promoting luxury and wellness travel, targeting families during summer, and using influencer marketing to convert interest into bookings. The agency is also seeking closer cooperation with Qatar Airways, Qatari government agencies, and private-sector partners, while expanding tourism promotion and the exchange of market data to reach travelers from Qatar and the wider Middle East.

Mark Walter, who sold his ownership stake in the Los Angeles Lakers and may be looking to unload his shares of Chelsea Football Club, continues to cut back amid a federal investigation. 

TWG Global, Walter’s holding company, said on Tuesday it had agreed to cut up to $6.5 billion of Delaware Life Insurance Co’s investments in his businesses. The billions in swaps would be related-party investments for an equivalent amount of assets classified as independent, according to Reuters. 

“The Group 1001 insurance companies are working with the Delaware Department of Insurance to address the identified investments, and TWG is committed to resolving this matter to the Department’s satisfaction,” a spokesperson for TWG Global told the outlet.

This comes as The Wall Street Journal reported U.S. federal prosecutors and the SEC are investigating Walter’s businesses to determine whether he, or his entities, committed fraud by concealing financial dealings while borrowing billions from insurers he controls. 

In February, Delaware Life and Clear Spring Life and Annuity Co received grand jury subpoenas in connection to an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

Also, one of Wall Street’s top regulators has been conducting its own investigation, focused on whether private credit investments, which were categorized as unaffiliated investments by Delaware Life and Clear Spring Life, were in fact connected. 

Delaware Life conducted its own internal investigation after received the subpoenas, where they found errors in how certain related-party investments were presented.

It was also reported earlier that the FBI recently seized Walter’s phone and laptop, as well as a high-ranking Guggenheim Investments executive’s, this past year. 

While the investigations are ongoing, Walter shockingly sold his majority stake in the Lakers just one year after purchasing the team for a then-record $10 billion. He sold his majority stake to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a whopping $12.5 billion. 

Now, Walter and his business partner, Todd Boehly, are reportedly looking to sell their shares in the English Premier League’s Chelsea Football Club, per the Financial Times. Walter and Boehly are hoping to sell their stakes to Clearlake Capital, the majority owner of one of the most popular soccer teams in the entire world. 

Clearlake Capital reportedly has had some friction with the two minority stakeholders after they purchased a piece of the club four years ago. The outlet reported there have been negotiation talks for years between both sides, but no deal was made.

Some are viewing the Lakers’ sale as a quick way to liquify assets for Walter with potential legal problems ahead, and now Chelsea could be yet another way to do so.

In June and July, gold traded mainly between $4,000 and $4,200. In early August, it broke above this range, signaling a potential upward shift in its price trend.

Gold has recently broken out of its established summer trading range, signaling increased investor interest and potential shift in market dynamics. After months of trading sideways between defined support and resistance levels, gold’s breakout indicates renewed confidence in the precious metal as a safe-haven asset amid global economic uncertainties. Factors such as inflation concerns, geopolitical tensions, and fluctuating bond yields have contributed to the bullish momentum pushing gold higher.

According to CME Group, this breakout may mark the beginning of a new upward trend, with traders closely monitoring key technical levels for confirmation. The increased volatility highlights the market’s responsiveness to macroeconomic developments and investor sentiment shifts. Gold’s price action remains sensitive to interest rate policies and currency fluctuations, which continue to influence its trajectory.

Market analysts suggest that if gold sustains above recent breakout levels, it could attract additional buying interest from both institutional and retail investors. This move underscores gold’s role as a hedge against inflation and economic instability. As the market evolves, traders will watch for continued momentum and possible consolidation around new resistance levels, shaping the outlook for gold in the coming months.

Choosing a host used to be a technical decision; for most UK small businesses it is now a commercial one. Entry level specs have converged (storage, SSL and one click installers are standard) so what matters is renewal cost, what is bundled, and who picks up the phone when something breaks.

We ranked five providers on three year cost rather than headline price, what is included, and suitability for a business with no in house IT.

The market has also become far more competitive over the last few years. Features that once justified paying a premium, such as automated backups, SSL certificates or website builders, are now included by default with many entry-level plans. That means the real differences between providers are often hidden in the small print: renewal pricing, customer support, migration tools and how easy it is to manage everything once your website is live. A cheap first year is attractive, but changing hosts later takes time, introduces risk and often costs more than choosing the right provider from the outset. For most businesses, web hosting is an expense that should quietly disappear into the background, allowing owners to focus on customers rather than servers, control panels and security updates.

1. one.com: best value bundle

one.com takes the top spot for what arrives in the box: a free first year domain, email on that domain, SSL, daily backups and the AI Website Builder on every plan, from around £1 per month. Buy those pieces from three companies and you will beat it on any line item while paying more in total, across three renewal dates instead of one. Operating from Denmark since 2002 also puts one.com under EU data protection law rather than a US corporate structure: useful if you handle customer data and want straightforward obligations under UK GDPR guidance. The trade offs: a builder less flexible than the design led platforms, and no published uptime guarantee. one.com hostingplans show renewal terms upfront, and our full one.com review has the detail.

Best for: small businesses and sole traders who want everything in one account.

2. IONOS: best infrastructure

IONOS is the heavyweight of the European market and the most credible choice if reliability is a board level concern: its UK and EU data centres are Tier IV certified and run on renewable energy, and shared plans get dedicated resources rather than a shared pool. Alongside 24/7 phone, chat and email cover, every account gets a named personal consultant at no extra cost; invaluable if you do not speak fluent DNS. Entry pricing starts around £1 per month; renewal lands nearer £8 to £9, though IONOS is more upfront about this than many rivals. The main criticism: a huge product range, numerous upsells and a busy control panel. We compare the two head to head in one.com vs IONOS, the decision most readers are actually making.

Best for: businesses that want certified infrastructure and named support.

3. Hostinger: best budget performance

Hostinger delivers more speed than its price suggests, with a well designed control panel, sharply improved AI site generation and benchmarks consistently above its cost. The catch: the lowest rates require long commitments, often four years paid upfront, and renewals are far higher. Pay years upfront and total cost is excellent; on an annual term the maths is far less impressive. Support is chat based, generally fast, with no UK phone line.

Best for: cost focused buyers willing to commit long term upfront.

4. GoDaddy: best brand recognition

GoDaddy is the biggest name in the business, bringing a polished interface, extensive documentation, phone support and products for nearly everything, from basic websites to managed WordPress and dedicated servers. It also brings the checkout, the most common complaint: add ons for privacy, email, security and site building come pre selected, so advertised price and basket total rarely match, and renewals climb steeply. Not a bad host, just one that needs attention at purchase and at renewal.

Best for: buyers who value brand familiarity and a wide product range.

5. Fasthosts: best UK only option

Fasthosts is for businesses that want their data physically in the UK and support in the same time zone. Headquartered in Gloucester, it runs its own UK data centres on renewable energy, holds ISO 27001 certification and backs its plans with a 99.99 per cent uptime commitment. It is one of few affordable hosts offering both Windows and Linux — relevant for .NET — with cheap shared plans and modest VPS rates. Two caveats: the proprietary control panel means relearning if you arrive from cPanel, and introductory pricing rises substantially at renewal.

Best for: UK focused businesses that want local infrastructure and a genuine uptime SLA.

How to choose

Three questions settle most decisions:

• What does year three cost? Multiply the renewal rate by twelve and compare that, not the launch offer: day one’s cheapest provider is often month twenty four’s most expensive.
• What is actually included? Email, SSL and a domain are bundled by some and sold separately by others; a plan a pound cheaper can cost more once you add pieces you assumed were there.
• How much control do you need? Most small business sites live happily on shared hosting for years; if you need root access or heavy resources, look at VPS plans and check managed pricing first.

Whichever you choose, treat the basics as your responsibility: keep backups you control, enable two factor authentication, and work through the NCSC’s small business cyber guidance before something goes wrong. Providers protect their infrastructure; protecting your website and access to it is still your job.

The good news is that there are no genuinely poor choices on this list. Each provider is capable of hosting a reliable business website, but they are designed for different priorities. one.com offers the strongest overall value for businesses wanting a complete package, IONOS stands out for infrastructure and support, Hostinger rewards buyers prepared to commit long term, GoDaddy appeals to those who value familiarity and breadth of products, while Fasthosts remains an excellent option for organisations that want their hosting and data to stay firmly in the UK.

Spend an extra half hour comparing renewal pricing, bundled features and support before signing up and you’ll likely avoid years of unnecessary costs or frustration. Web hosting is one of those purchases where making the right decision once is far easier than correcting the wrong one later, especially once your website, email accounts and customers all depend on it.

Fading hopes for Middle East peace pushed oil prices higher, which in turn triggered an increase in U.S. 30-year Treasury bond yields to their highest levels since 2007. Ten-year ‌bond yields touched their ⁠highest ⁠level since January 2025.

The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index tumbled as investors fled stocks that had rallied previously on booming AI-related demand. Rising borrowing costs lowered ​how much investors were willing to pay for potential growth in technology profits.

“It starts off almost like a domino effect. Talks break down. ​That leads to oil prices going up. That leads to higher inflation expectations and bond yields rise,” said Burns McKinney, portfolio manager at NFJ Investment Group. He added that “every time bond yields rise, that tends to disproportionately hit the technology ​names.”

According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 lost 51.97 points, or 0.67%, to ⁠end at ‌7,692.10 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 350.45 points, or 1.31%, to 26,294.46. The Dow Jones ​Industrial Average fell ​115.93 points, or 0.22%, to 53,343.85.

Live Events

Among the S&P 500’s 11 major sectors, the information technology ⁠sector created the biggest index-point drag on the day and was the benchmark’s ​biggest percentage loser.
The S&P 500’s biggest drags from individual stocks came from chip companies, including leading AI chipmaker Nvidia and memory chipmaker Micron Technology, which fell on Tuesday after rising almost 18% in the previous five sessions.Other hard-hit stocks included data storage firms Sandisk and Western Digital, while the Roundhill Memory ETF tumbled after five straight sessions of gains.

“There’s nothing that can crack a momentum rally quite like interest rates moving higher and you’re getting evidence of that today,” said Tony Welch, chief investment officer at SignatureFD, who added that rising yields ‌suggested that Federal Reserve policy is too easy for the growth and inflation outlook.

While they left high-growth sectors, investors flocked instead to more defensive sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples. Wall Street’s ​fear gauge rose to ​its highest level since August ⁠5. With support from rising oil prices, the S&P 500 energy sector also outperformed. By late afternoon, U.S. crude oil futures had pared most of their gains but still settled up 0.5%, after Iran threatened to shift to a “fully offensive” military ​posture and Washington ruled out extending a ceasefire deal. Shares of home-improvement retailer Home Depot inched up after beating second-quarter sales estimates.

Investors awaited results due later this week from other retailers, including bellwether Walmart. Minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s July meeting, due on Wednesday, could offer more clues about how the central bank is assessing the current environment.

Investors see Nvidia’s upcoming quarterly report as the next big test for the AI-driven momentum.

LeBron James, one of the most recognizable athletes in the world with more than 154 million Instagram followers, has officially launched a personal YouTube channel at age 41, turning to his son, Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James, for guidance on how to navigate the platform.

Despite his enormous social media following and decades in the public spotlight, James had never previously operated a personal YouTube channel before this launch. His debut content included a lighthearted exchange with Bronny, in which the elder James asked his son to explain a basic feature of YouTube videos: the outro, the closing segment creators typically use to ask viewers to like, subscribe and enable notifications. According to footage from the exchange, James admitted he had never watched a YouTube outro before in his life, prompting him to ask Bronny to “teach him the game” of content creation.

The moment was filmed during a recent golf outing that included LeBron, Bronny, Lakers guard Austin Reaves and a pair of golf-focused YouTube creators, according to footage circulating from the session.

The dynamic between father and son carries a notable role reversal, given Bronny’s own background in online content creation. Before beginning his professional basketball career, Bronny built a substantial following as a teenage livestreamer, a pursuit he stepped away from in order to focus more fully on basketball. That earlier experience appears to have positioned him as an informal mentor to his father as LeBron now enters the same space himself, decades into his own career.

LeBron’s first video posted to the new channel was a lengthy production, running more than 90 minutes, documenting the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2016 championship reunion golf outing, an event that had generated months of online speculation among fans regarding what actually took place during the trip. The extended runtime and behind-the-scenes access offered in the video reflect an approach more akin to long-form lifestyle content than traditional short highlight clips, suggesting James may be positioning the channel as a more personal, unscripted complement to his existing media ventures.

Although this marks James’ first individually branded YouTube channel, he has maintained an active presence on the platform through other media projects for roughly a decade. His media company, UNINTERRUPTED, previously produced “The Shop,” a recurring series in which James held informal conversations with other prominent athletes and entertainers set inside a barbershop, a show that ran regularly for several years before eventually winding down.

James has also hosted “Mind the Game,” a basketball-focused podcast he has produced intermittently over the past three seasons. The show originally featured JJ Redick as co-host during its first season before Redick was hired as the Los Angeles Lakers’ head coach following that season, prompting a change in the podcast’s lineup. Steve Nash subsequently stepped in as Redick’s replacement, and the show continued with regular episodes throughout the most recent season.

James’ new personal channel appears likely to focus on more intimate, lifestyle-oriented content, potentially offering fans a closer look into aspects of his personal life beyond basketball. However, given his upcoming commitments on the court, more substantial content may not appear regularly until after his playing career concludes. James is set to begin his debut season with the Philadelphia 76ers this October, following his decision to sign with the franchise after departing the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent this offseason, a move that ended his tenure with the team that had employed him for the bulk of his most recent NBA seasons.

James’ move to Philadelphia represents one of the more significant offseason storylines across the NBA, given his stature as one of the sport’s most accomplished and closely followed players. Reaction to the decision has continued to generate commentary from current and former players. Former NBA guard and current broadcaster Rajon Rondo has publicly praised James’ choice to sign with the 76ers, describing the decision as “brilliant” in comments made following the move.

James’ departure from the Lakers has also carried broader organizational implications for the franchise. According to separate reporting, Lakers governor Jeanie Buss has expressed opposition to a potential sale of the team, even as league rules under discussion could eventually require Buss to relinquish her role as team governor depending on how any ownership transition unfolds, a situation that has continued to generate speculation regarding the franchise’s long-term ownership structure independent of James’ own departure.

James’ foray into personal YouTube content also arrives amid a broader trend of professional athletes building independent media platforms and personal brands outside traditional team and league channels, a shift that has accelerated across professional sports in recent years as athletes increasingly seek direct relationships with fans through social media and video platforms rather than relying solely on traditional broadcast and print coverage.

As James enters his 23rd NBA season this fall with a new franchise, his expanding media ventures, including this newly launched personal YouTube channel, suggest a continued effort to build out a content ecosystem that extends well beyond his on-court career, following a well-established pattern he has maintained throughout much of the past decade through UNINTERRUPTED, “The Shop” and “Mind the Game.” Whether the new channel becomes a regularly updated platform during the season or remains a more occasional outlet for behind-the-scenes content, as suggested by the timing and nature of his initial upload, remains to be seen as James balances the launch of this new venture with preparations for his first season playing for the 76ers.
