Thanks so much for your time, Stephen.
The Taliban wants to do a rare earths deal with the Trump administration.
In an interview with the FT, the foreign minister of Afghanistan's Islamist regime said that his country would quote, absolutely welcome US investments in mining, infrastructure, agriculture, and trade.
Geological surveys estimate at least a trillion dollars worth of mineral resources in the country, including copper, cobalt, and lithium.
They've been largely untapped due to decades of conflict.
But the FT's Andrea Schipani, who spoke with Foreign Minister Amir Khan Mutaki, said it's not clear if the US is interested.
Funding from any partnership would be significant for Afghanistan, which remains one of the world's poorest nations, with about a third of its population facing acute hunger.
And though Kabul has begun to emerge from diplomatic isolation, UN experts warned there should be no moves to normalize the Taliban's de facto authorities, who have been sanctioned by the UN and Western countries.
And who have instituted draconian restrictions on women and girls' access to education, business, and public life.
Today is Tim Cook's last day as Apple's chief executive.
He spent fifteen years leading one of the world's most valuable companies.
But when he took over from the late founder Steve Jobs, there were doubts about whether the quiet COO could fill such large shoes.
Michael Acton, who covers the tech behemoth for us at the FT, joins me now to talk about Tim Cook's legacy.
Hi, Michael.
So just walk me through this.
How has the company evolved under Cook's leadership?
Because some of the numbers you've been looking at are pretty staggering.
Walk us through how he's really won over Wall Street and what that's looked like.
Yeah, clearly they like that because Apple's shares have risen more than two thousand percent under Cook's leadership.
You know, as we've been talking, Michael, there have been plenty of successes, but also challenges along the way for Tim Cook too.
