London CNN —If you’re looking for a rock ‘n’ roll end to the summer, then the Rolling Stones may have you covered. The British rock legends appear to have teased a new album through a fake ad for a glass-repair business placed in a local London newspaper. Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones perform in Sweden on July 31, 2022 during their "Stones Sixty European Tour." A new album would be the Stones’ 31st studio album and their first since the 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts. A Rolling Stones representative contacted by CNN declined to comment on the ad.

France, which widened its heatwave red alert in the south of the country, said it would scale back production at a nuclear power plant as high temperatures curbed cooling water supply. The strait, linking the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea, is a major shipping route for commodities such as oil and grains. It said some areas of southern France would experience temperatures of 42 degree Celsius (108 degrees Fahrenheit). The authorities widened a heatwave red alert for the south of the country, while officials urged some mountain climbers to postpone their activities and told grape pickers to work in the morning to avoid the extreme heat. Italy issued heatwave red alerts about "emergency conditions" that the health ministry says could endanger the healthy as well as the frail in 17 of its 27 main cities for Wednesday and Thursday, including Rome, Milan, Florence and Venice.

Ron DeSantis in a major new poll of likely Republican caucusgoers in Iowa released Monday. Trump garnered the support of 42% of respondents, while DeSantis came in second with 19%. In an overture to Iowa voters, Trump also asserted without evidence that he "saved" ethanol and popular entitlement programs. While Trump and DeSantis share a similar overall approval in the state — 63% for Trump and 61% for DeSantis — the Florida governor's support appears to be much shakier than the former president's.

Analyst Charlie Chan named Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing a "catalyst driven idea" whose shares could rally given its role as the sole supplier for Nvidia's artificial intelligence graphics processing units. The stock has served as the stock market's AI poster child in 2023, surging more than 215%. As a supplier to Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor has also benefited from the buzz around AI, with its U.S.-listed shares up more than 24% this year. Morgan Stanley regards Nvidia's October revenue guidance as a "key check point" pointing to AI-fueled semiconductor demand at Taiwan Semiconductor, as well as the growth of its Chip on Wafer on Substrate capacity supply, a vital part of the chip manufacturing process. Chan anticipates a 5% uptick in Taiwan Semiconductor shares should Nvidia exceed consensus October revenue guidance, and come in above $13 billion.

In the image, Bonnie Prince Charlie appears with blonde curly hair, wide eyes and acne on his skin, revealing a different side to the more conventionally heroic figure he has traditionally been depicted as. I did want to show a different angle with that.”The image was created using death masks of the prince, which were photographed and mapped.
