CNN  —  It wasn’t long after landing in Bangkok, Thailand, in the summer of 2023 that Jalil Muyeke realized that something was terribly wrong. He knew that the city – where he was planning to start a new data entry and online marketing job – was a short drive from the airport. But the man who picked him up drove for hours into the countryside. Without cellphone service, and fearing that his driver might have a weapon, the then 32-year-old Ugandan felt powerless to escape. He says that eventually, he was bundled into a canoe and taken across the Moei…

Hong Kong CNN  —  Stocks markets across Asia sank on Tuesday following mounting fears of a serious economic downturn in the world’s largest economy, as US President Donald Trump ramped up a tariff war against its biggest trade partners. Trump’s refusal to rule out the possibility of a US recession on Sunday has rattled Wall Street investors. Now, those fears have extended to the Asia-Pacific region, with the MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan down more than 1%. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 plunged nearly 3% in the morning session but had recovered some of those losses by the…

CNN  —  Canada’s next leader is a relative political newcomer, coming instead from a decades-long career in finance where he steered governments through major global crises and periods of upheaval — experience he’s hoping to now leverage as he prepares to take over from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It’s an unorthodox background that could also potentially stand Mark Carney in good stead as Canada seeks to counter a looming economic confrontation with its giant southern neighbor, US President Donald Trump’s trade war. Carney was elected Sunday to lead Canada’s Liberal Party into the next federal elections later this year. While…

CNN  —  Russia said it downed hundreds of Ukrainian drones launched at its territory overnight, hours ahead of critical talks between officials from Washington and Kyiv. Moscow’s defense ministry said it had downed 337 Ukrainian drones fired at Russia, of which 91 had targeted the Moscow region, according to state-run news agency TASS. If confirmed, the aerial attacks would represent one of the largest on Russia since its invasion of Ukraine.

CNN  —  A federal judge ruled Monday that the US Department of Government Efficiency is likely covered by the Freedom of Information Act, a federal transparency law that allows outsiders to obtain internal government records detailing agency conduct. The new preliminary ruling from US District Court Judge Casey Cooper is a major win for watchdog groups and others seeking to scrutinize the activity of the Elon Musk-led initiative, which has been at the center of President Donald Trump’s drastic overhaul of the federal bureaucracy. However, the new order may not result in the immediate production of DOGE records sought by…

CNN  —  Donald Trump’s second presidency will take a novel path this week as he turns to Congress to enshrine part of his effort to transform the country — after weeks of wielding vast and questionable executive power. House Republicans hope to vote on a bill to extend federal funding until the end of September. If they succeed, after dropping talks with Democrats on a bipartisan measure, they’ll trigger a showdown in the Senate that could end in a damaging government shutdown. Democrats will then have to decide whether they’ll oppose the measure by mounting a filibuster. If they block…

CNN  —  “The Apprentice,” the NBC reality show that propelled Donald Trump from real estate mogul to TV personality, is getting the streaming treatment at Amazon’s Prime Video. Amazon on Monday announced the show’s first seven seasons will stream exclusively on Prime Video, with the first season hitting the platform Monday and subsequent seasons hitting the platform every week. The reality TV show, which debuted in 2004, involved 16 candidates partaking in various challenges for a $250,000 salary as an apprentice at The Trump Organization. The Mark Burnett-created show ran for 15 seasons, airing around 200 episodes in the United…

CNN  —  Federal judges hearing Trump administration litigation have increasingly gone beyond the case at hand to reflect on potential threats to democracy or offer dramatic assertions about the state of America. Democratic and Republican appointees alike, these judges are giving voice to a simmering concern in judicial circles about the erosion of constitutional norms during the first weeks of the second Trump administration. But in doing so, they are breaking with a culture of judicial restraint and defying the current reluctance in many quarters to cross President Donald Trump. These judicial voices are rare, to be sure, but they…
