Ireland decides to go ahead with putting a health warning on the label of beer, wine and spirits, which has&nbsp;caused anger in Italy. This plan aims to warn consumers about the risk of cancer and liver diseases linked to alcohol. The label will also include information on all&nbsp;the risks of drinking alcohol for pregnant women, Guardian reported.&nbsp;

The announcement was made public after it passed the deadline for the European Commission to oppose it. In June last year, Dublin informed the commission about its&nbsp;intention and did not receive any objection, from it during a six-month deadline period despite protests from producing countries including Italy and Spain.

Italy's biggest farmer's association, Coldiretti, described Ireland's plan as "terrifying" and claimed that it's "directly attacking" the country. It also noticed that Italy has been a key producer of wine, with over $15.17 billion (€14 billion) of annual revenues coming from abroad.&nbsp;

Coldiretti in a statement said, "The green light from the European Union for alarmist wine labels in Ireland represents a dangerous precedent as it risks opening the door to other legislation capable of negatively influencing consumer choices." It added, "It is completely improper to equate the excessive consumption of spirits, typical of the Nordic countries, to the moderate and conscious consumption of quality products with lower alcohol content, such as beer and wine."

Coldiretti's President Ettore Prandini said that while it's correct to protect the health of the citizens, but this decision&nbsp;criminalises products regardless of their quantities consumed.&nbsp;

Similarly, Luigi D'Eramo, an undersecretary of Italy's agricultural sector argued that wine and beer should not be compared to smoking and spirits. He said, "Wine is history, culture … an expression of our territories and is part of the Mediterranean diet. It is about quality and responsible consumption. The health warning plan is a dangerous precedent which, if followed by other countries, risks damaging a leading sector of our food and agriculture system."

A recent clash&nbsp;between the armed rebel groups in Colombia near the Venezuelan border claimed the lives of at least 10 people, a Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday. According to AFP,&nbsp;a researcher with the international rights group, Juan Pappier, on his Twitter wrote, "The information we have received reports at least 10 deaths in the department of Arauca as a result of clashes between the ELN (National Liberation Army) and the dissidents of FARC."

The fights come after&nbsp;both rebel groups ELN and FARC, rejected the 2016 historic peace agreement and have been engaged in bloody conflicts, and also denied the&nbsp;recent truce announced by the government of the new President Gustavo Petro.

Wall Street banks and financial institutions are cutting costs to stay afloat as global deal-making slows and risks of a global recession loom.

Blackrock, the world's largest asset manager, is set to cut 500 jobs, joining a long list of top firms worldwide looking at lowering costs ahead of an expected recession this year, reported Bloomberg.

"The uncertainty around us makes it more important than ever that we stay ahead of changes in the market and focus on delivering for our clients," Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink and President Rob Kapito wrote Wednesday in a staff memo, according to Bloomberg.

The layoffs could be just a little over 2.5 per cent of Blackrock's employee base of 19,900, and the development points to worsening sentiment in financial markets, with companies, predicted to report poor earnings starting this week.

Last month, Blackrock's chief financial officer, Gary Shedlin announced a hiring freeze and cut to expenses to meet short-term performance challenges.

In a significant reversal for Apple Inc., which has said for years that touchscreen laptops are ergonomically inferior, reports say Apple could release a Macbook Pro laptop with a touchscreen as early as 2025.

Apple is reportedly developing touch displays for its Mac computers, breaking its long-standing business tradition and adopting a design philosophy that co-founder Steve Jobs once called "ergonomically horrible."

To develop a touchscreen Mac laptop, teams inside Apple are working on the project, and the first design would include a trackpad and keyboard as well, said a Bloomberg report.

The move will also signify a change in strategy, as for more than a decade, the company has argued that touch screens don't work well on laptops and that the iPad is a better option if someone wants a touch interface.

Apple is also worried that touchscreen Macs could cannibalize iPad sales.

The group has been in talks with this Taiwanese company for months now. The deal will be finalised by the end of March this year,&nbsp;a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

The source also claimed that both companies have been discussing the deal for a long and have decided that&nbsp;Tata Group should take a&nbsp;majority of the joint venture. Though, the official statements have not yet been made. The deal is expected to be completed by March.

The former prime minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan on Tuesday condemned Shahbaz Sharif-led Pakistan Muslim League (PML) for its "irresponsible statements" against the Taliban and warned of&nbsp;deteriorating Afghan ties&nbsp;if the Taliban stops cooperating with Pakistan. It can lead to a "never-ending" war against terrorism, Khan said.

The comments come following a seminar on terrorism&nbsp;attended by Khan, where he spoke about the criticism levelled at the Pakistan&nbsp;Tehreek-e-Insaf&nbsp;for its peace talks with TTP.

During the seminar, Khan also stated that they have informed all stakeholders about the need for talks with TTP members and their plan to resettle their members, ANI reported.&nbsp;
