to return to offices. last year was the first year that the app, which has become synonymous with ride hailing in many markets, became profitable. let s talk about this more now with our north america business correspondent, erin delmore. is this a simple case of more people getting out there and calling ubers? or is there more to it than that? there is a little bit more to it than that. the number of people hailing right and the rights to hailing right and the rights to hailing app. the other component is food delivery. we are measuring all the many that comes into drivers, whether it s from people wanting cards or food to getting cars, and get over to them. this is notable because not only was the holiday season very kind to cuba with great results in the fourth quarter of the year, but they were showing operating profits over the last three consecutive quarters. let s contrast that with other tech companies and what we have seen in their rebound since the pandemic. a ....
the 528 employees who were sacked join a much larger group of tech workers across the industry who ve lost their jobs since the end of the pandemic. earlier, i spoke to tech sector expert, dan ives, who told me snap s quarterly results look rather bleak. if you looked up disaster in the dictionary, you d see snap s earnings. and this just continues to be the trouble. they re on the outside looking in another black eye quarter for snap, especially this the advertising team. the surge in tech lay offs in 2024 would suggest that there s trouble in the industry, perhaps, but that may not necessarily be the case if we look at other key measures? i think it s a tale of two cities. the strong are getting stronger. the ai revolution s here. you re seeing more spending in areas like that. but then you see non strategic areas get cut across path. i think most of these job cuts are in the rear review mirror, but itjust shows we re going into a fork in the road period for tec ....
is all too clear. i feel frustrated and i feel anxious, and ifeel anxious on behalf of our patients and their families around the delays to care. and that s a cumulative effect of the strikes over many months now. claps don t pay the bills! in scotland, a deal s agreed with the junior doctors union, but in england, there s been another strike. the union said a 6% pay award wouldn t be nearly enough to cover past inflation. this dispute has to continue until this government recognises that we re not worth less than we were in 2008. are you prepared to continue for months, maybe into next year? yes. the bma later confirmed strike action would continue, but ministers said there would be no more talks. this settlement, a fair and final settlement allows us to reflect this huge contribution that doctors make, but to give them a pay rise of over £3,000 and then get back to focusing on cutting the waiting times. strikes by health workers in england have been causing disruption sin ....
christopher nolan s oppenheimer in london last night as the strike was declared. the studios say they have made meaningful offers but that s been rejected by those on strike. the guild s president, fran drescher, said the decision by actors to walk out was a moment of truth . we are being victimised by a very greedy entity. i am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us. i cannot believe it, quite frankly. how far apart we are on so many things. how they plead poverty, that they are losing money left and right while giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their ceos. it is disgusting. shame on them. they stand on the wrong side of history at this very moment. the issues in the strike go much deeper thanjust the film industry itself. the screen actors guild wants streaming giants to agree a fairer split of profits and better working conditions. but other demands like protecting actors from being replaced by digital replicas r ....
but the three judge panel rejected that claim. mr trump is expected to appeal against the ruling, so the case could ultimately be decided by the supreme court. in the last hour we ve heard from the former us president. in a lengthy post on his truthsocial platform, mr trump said. a nation destroying ruling like this cannot be allowed to stand. adding if not overturned, as it shoudld be, this decision would not only injure the presidency but the life breath and success of our country. from outside the court where the ruling took place our north america correspondent gary o donoghue explains what the ruling could mean for trump. donald trump s lawyers were arguing that as president and during his official duties, he conducted various investigations into the election and that anything related to that meant he should have immunity from prosecution. the court heard that case and the special counsel made their case, which said that he wasn t immune from prosecution. and a ....
