Breitbart: Hamas Tries to Split Israel, U.S., with Latest Hostage Release Offer
Hamas has offered to release one living American hostage and the bodies of four deceased American hostages while keeping around 55 Israeli hostages. This proposal follows U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff's suggestion for a phased hostage deal, which Israel accepted but Hamas did not.
Concerns have arisen that Hamas may seek a separate agreement with the U.S. as negotiations continue. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed skepticism about Hamas's intentions, accusing them of psychological warfare against families of the hostages.

GB News: Contactless card shake-up: Britons warned of possible payment changes ahead — what you need to know
The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is reviewing contactless payment limits, currently set at £100, to potentially enhance consumer and business support. The review aims to improve trust in the payments system while ensuring security measures remain intact.
Industry experts suggest that adjusting these limits could streamline transactions, as 85% of Britons use contactless payments monthly. Feedback on the FCA's proposals closes on May 9, with possible changes expected later this year.

Le Monde: Gucci: A stylistic choice that disappoints the stock market
Demna Gvasalia's appointment as artistic director of Gucci has led to a significant drop in Kering's stock, losing over 10%. Analysts express concern that his previous success at Balenciaga may not translate to Gucci, as the market anticipated a more traditional choice for the luxury brand.
Demna, known for his provocative style, has revitalized Balenciaga since joining Kering in 2015. However, the stock market's reaction indicates skepticism about his ability to enhance Gucci's brand image among customers and investors.
