Hong Kong CNN  —  China’s factory activity contracted at its fastest pace in 16 months in April, as steep US tariffs took a heavy toll on the manufacturing sector, adding urgency to Beijing’s efforts to roll out fresh economic stimulus. The manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to 49.0 in April, the weakest reading since December 2023, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Wednesday.

In both Colombia and Mexico, according to CNN interviews with more than a dozen former DEA officials, key figures in those cases worked with an agent named Terrance Cole – who now is President Donald Trump’s nominee to run the agency.

CNN  —  Mankind’s achievements over the millennia have been bountiful. Their evolutionary fruits – from the harnessing of fire, to vaccines, to the art of diplomacy – were never low hanging; they were imagined before they were ever grasped.
