She eliminated Michin, Piper Niven, Nia Jax, and Roxanne Perez to seal the win.Some fans werent thrilled with Flair winning in her first appearance since returning from a knee injury, but its tough to argue that another competitor was a more logical choice.Jax is coming off a title run and a Queen of the Ring victory. Lyra Valkyria and Chelsea Green recently won titles and still need time to establish their reigns. Perez is not yet a full-time main roster talent, Bayley won last year, and Alexa Bliss, who returned during the match, isnt currently involved in a major storyline.MORE FOR YOUMeanwhile, Bianca Belair is likely to be tied up in a rivalry with Jade Cargill when she returns.Naomi was one of the few viable alternatives, but outside of her, the options were slim.As for who Charlotte will challenge, the obvious pick would be Rhea Ripley, setting up a potential revenge story.2025 Womens Royal Rumble Entrants & Eliminations1 - Iyo Sky2 - Liv Morgan (Eliminated Natalya, Alexa Bliss)3 - Roxanne Perez (Eliminated Giulia)4 - Lyra Valkyria5 - Chelsea Green (Eliminated B-Fab, Lash Legend)6 - B-Fab7 - Ivy Nile (Eliminated Lyra Valkyria)8 - Zoey Stark9 - Lash Legend10 - Bianca Belair (Eliminated Zoey Stark)11 - Shayna Baszler (Eliminated Maxxine Dupri)12 - Bayley (Eliminated Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler)13 - Sonya Deville14 - Maxxine Dupri (Eliminated Ivy Nile)15 - Naomi16 - Jaida Parker17 - Piper Niven (Eliminated Chelsea Green)18 - Natalya19 - Jordynne Grace (Eliminated Jaida Parker)20 - Michin21 - Alexa Bliss22 - Zelina Vega23 - Candice LeRae24 - Stephanie Vaquer25 - Trish Stratus (Eliminated Candice LeRae)26 - Raquel Rodriguez (Eliminated Iyo Sky)27 - Charlotte Flair (Eliminated Michin, Piper Niven, Nia Jax, Roxanne Perez)28 - Giulia (Eliminated Jordynne Grace)29 - Nia Jax (Eliminated Zelina Vega, Trish Stratus, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Stephanie Vaquer, Nikki Bella)30 - Nikki Bella (Eliminated by Bayley)DIY Retains Tag-Team Titles, Thanks to Street ProfitsINDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - FEBRUARY 01: Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa of DIY make their entrance ...

Montez Ford provided a distraction, while Angelo Dawkins used a crutch to take out Alex Shelley, leading to DIY securing the pin.Despite their victory, DIY was attacked by the Street Profits immediately after the match.The best part of this finish is that it sets up an intriguing tag-team storyline with multiple layers, creating more depth in the division.Cody Rhodes Retains the WWE ChampionshipThis match was one of the most brutal WWE has seen in years. With insane spots and brutal bumps, it was difficult to keep track of everything.One of the scariest moments came when Rhodes delivered an Alabama Slam from the top of the announcers table through a propped ladder, completely folding Kevin Owens in the process.Take a look:There was a brief pause after this moment, leaving many wondering if Owens was seriously injured. Regardless, Rhodes went on to retrieve the belt, retaining his championship in an incredible ladder match.Mens Royal Rumble Entrants and EliminationsPORTLAND, OREGON - SEPTEMBER 16: Jey Uso makes his entrance during Monday Night RAW at Moda Center ...

    Justin Trudeau announces 25% retaliatory tariffs on US goods after Trump's tariffs hit Canada
    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday announced retaliatory tariffs against the US.Canada will impose a 25% tariff on US goods, some effective Tuesday and others in 3 weeks.The tariffs came after Donald Trump implemented 25% tariffs on Canadian goods imported to the US.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday announced retaliatory tariffs against the US in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian imports, which were implemented earlier in the day."Tonight, I am announcing Canada will be responding to the US trade action with 25% tariffs against 155 billion dollars worth of American goods," Trudeau said during a press conference. "This will include immediate tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods as of Tuesday, followed by further tariffs on $125 billion worth of American products in 21 day's time to allow Canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives."Trudeau said the tariffs will apply to everyday items shipped from the US to Canada, including alcohol, fruits, clothing, and shoes, as well as major consumer products like household appliances and furniture, and materials like lumber and plastics."And as part of our response, we are considering with the provinces and territories several non-tariff measures, including some relating to critical minerals, energy procurement and other partnerships," Trudeau said.Canada's retaliatory measures come after Trump made good on an oft-repeated campaign pledge, implementing 25% tariffs on Canadian goods imported to the US in what he described as an effort to curb the fentanyl crisis.A 2022 report by a congressional commission on combatting synthetic opioids found Canada is not a major source of fentanyl or other synthetic opioids to the United States.Trudeau, who earlier this month announced his resignation as leader of Canada's Liberal Party, said during the Saturday press conference that he had not spoken to Trump since his inauguration on January 20 but pledged to remain available for negotiations over the countries' trade relations."If President Trump wants to usher in a new golden age for the United States, the better path is to partner with Canada, not to punish us," Trudeau said. "Canada has critical minerals, reliable and affordable energy, stable democratic institutions, shared values, and the natural resources you need. Canada has the ingredients necessary to build a booming and secure partnership for the North American economy, and we stand at the ready to work together."Representatives for the Trump administration and Trudeau's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.Late Saturday, in response to Trump's trade moves against the country, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also announced retaliatory 25% tariffs on imported US goods, per Reuters.BI previously reported economists predict the Chinese government will respond similarly, with retaliatory tariffs, limiting exports of raw materials used for semiconductor production, or other changes to its trade policies to squeeze the US economy.

    Tidal House on Scottish coast opens up to reveal views of estuary
    Architecture studio Brown & Brown and interior designerSam Buckley have completed a house in southern Scotland, comprising stacked geometric volumes with large openings that look out onto tidal flats.Tidal House belongs to a retired couple, who moved from Edinburgh to Dumfriesshire in pursuit of a more peaceful life in closer proximity to nature.Brown & Brown has completed a house in southern ScotlandBuckley approached Brown & Brown founders Kate and Andrew Brownto develop the project for his parents, with Buckley himself overseeing the interiors.The site on the Solway Coast was previously occupied by a neglected house that was demolished to make way for a building designed to blend in harmoniously with its natural surroundings.The south side of the house displays wood that will weather over timeThe house's setting on the outskirts of a village informed a spatial plan that seeks to balance the requirement for privacy with a desire to optimise exposure to natural light and the landscape."Our design focused on the idea of a house with a closed side that forms a barrier to the neighbours at the rear and opens up as you move through to reveal views of the tidal flats," Andrew Brown told Dezeen.The north-facing volumes are clad in a smoked clay brickThe building's material palette responds to its context by utilising natural finishes to give the components parts a distinct character. The robust north-facing volumes are clad in a smoked clay brick, while the lighter south side displays wood that will weather over time."We weren't trying to create something that hides away but at the same time the building sits comfortably on the shoreline," Brown added. "The clay brick has a riven surface and the timber cladding has a softness and lack of uniformity that doesn't jar with the surroundings."The house is arranged around a three-sided courtyardThe construction method and materiality also contribute to the building's thermal comfort, with the thick masonry walls helping to retain and dissipate heat throughout the day.The south-facing glazing also allows sunlight to warm the interior, while overhangs shield the spaces during the warmer months and natural cross-ventilation helps to maintain a comfortable internal climate.Read: Moxon Architects revives residential ruin using "Scottish craftsmanship and local tradespeople"The house is arranged around a three-sided courtyard that separates the main living spaces from an artist's studio. A full-height opening opposite the entrance frames a view through the courtyard with its single Acer tree and towards the water beyond.The studio space is largely closed off from the rest of the house to create a sense of privacy. A glazed corner ensures this room feels bright and connected with the landscape.The open-plan living area looks out onto the courtyard and the adjacent patio"We wanted to pull some of the functions apart and create axes that organise the house into different zones," Brown explained. "The entrance axis separates the studio from the other rooms and draws you towards the view."The entrance lobby leads through to an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that looks onto the courtyard and an adjacent patio through its full-height glazed walls. A suspended fireplace provides a focal point in one corner of the lounge.A suspended fireplace provides a focal point in the living roomA corridor oriented at right angles to the entrance axis provides access to utility spaces on one side and two guest bedrooms at the far end.The clients' private quarters are accommodated above the living spaces on the first floor. These comprise a bedroom, en suite bathroom and a small lounge with a glazed corner that makes the most of its elevated vantage point.The interiors incorporate furniture pieces made by Buckley's fatherThroughout the home, a combination of tiles and wood flooring helps to zone the spaces while creating a warm and neutral backdrop that focuses attention on the views.Buckley's interior design introduces colours that add character to the spaces, while furniture including pieces made by his father bring a deeper level of personal connection.Muted red and green tones provide colour throughout the interiorBrown & Brown is based in Aboyne in the Scottish Highlands. It works across the UK and beyond, creating contextually driven projects that are often situated in sensitive locations.The studio's previous work includes a black timber-clad home on a hillside in the Cairngorms National Park and a house in the city of Aberdeen that combines timber cladding with salvaged stone.The photography is by Jim Stephenson.The post Tidal House on Scottish coast opens up to reveal views of estuary appeared first on Dezeen.

    Trump trades tariffs with US allies while consumers brace for supply chain snarls
    Donald Trump on Saturday implemented new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China.Canada and Mexico's leaders implemented retaliatory tariffs on the US in response.Retailers and trade researchers told BI they expect price hikes on consumer goods as tensions rise.Retailers and consumers alike are bracing for the impacts of a new trade policy after President Donald Trump on Saturday fulfilled an oft-repeated campaign pledge by implementing new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China.The executive orders include a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on China, which the Trump administration says is an effort to address the fentanyl crisis. In response to Trump's new trade policy, Canada and Mexico's leaders implemented retaliatory tariffs against the US, heightening tensions between the North American trade partners."The supply chains will be totally disrupted," William George, director of research at trade database company ImportGenius, told Business Insider. "The disruption this will cause for consumer purchases cannot be overstated."BI previously reported economists predict many firms will pass increased costs caused by tariffs onto customers, and several companies including Walmart and Columbia Sportswear have already said they are preparing to raise prices in response.Electronics, groceries, and apparel are among the most likely products to see price increases.Companies try to stave off increasesGeorge, whose company tracks details about shipments of goods to and from the US and around the globe, told BI that some big companies prepared for the president to implement his plan for new taxes and restrictions by frontloading shipments of goods in an apparent effort to stave off supply chain disruptions for as long as possible."Walmart's China-originating US maritime imports are up over 33% from 2023 to 2024," George said. That increase accounts for at least 14,000 additional shipping containers of imports brought in ahead of the expected tariff increases, he added.ImportGenius data shows Columbia Sportswear's year-over-year imports were also up over 50% from 2023Representatives for Walmart and Columbia Sportswear did not immediately respond to requests for comment from BI.Christopher Tang, a UCLA professor and global supply chain scholar, said product stockpiles from major companies could keep prices steady at big box stores for a few weeks. Still, he expects price increases will soon hit shelves even for the most prepared businesses."They cannot buy all the inventory they'll need forever, so in forward buying scenarios, you'll see maybe a couple of weeks of inventory," Tang said. "Down the road, there are estimates that it will cost around $3,000 extra for the consumer to buy a car that's made in Mexico due to the tariffs. Let's hope it doesn't come to that."Not every retailer has the resources to frontload shipping, so price increases may hit sooner. BI previously reported that some small business owners are working to diversify their supply chains, which may also come with increased costs, and others are planning to add new service fees to their products to offset anticipated price hikes."We're suffering with already high prices on everything on meat, on eggs and everything's going to go up again," Ruben Guerra, chairman of the Latin Business Association, representing 800,000 Latino businesses in California, told BI. "All the Mexican companies that I know and businesses across the border are all sending me responses saying 'Something needs to be done. We're going to lose a lot of business.'"Heightened tensions risk a trade warOutrage from consumers and business owners is a feature of the tariffs, not a bug, Tang, the UCLA professor, told BI. He said it would likely increase pressure on the governments of Mexico, Canada, and China to negotiate quicklyCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday evening announced 25% retaliatory tariffs on goods imported from the US, in response to the tariffs Trump levied on Canadian imports. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum late Saturday also imposed retaliatory 25% tariffs on imported US goods in response to Trump's trade moves, per Reuters.BI previously reported economists predict China will respond similarly, with retaliatory tariffs, limiting exports of raw materials used for semiconductor production, or other changes to its trade policies to squeeze the US economy."I think consumers need to prepare that this is going to affect everybody in the country, not just a couple of businesses," Guerra said.
