‘Rayner on the Rampage’ and ‘My big sister Kate’ ‘Rayner on the Rampage’ and ‘My big sister Kate’ Concerns over government spending cuts lead a couple of front pages. The Daily Mail reports that Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner is “at war” with Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves over plans to slash her department’s budget. The paper says the housing secretary was involved in a “series of increasingly heated meetings”, where Rayner reportedly complained “forcibly” over the possible reductions. The government’s child poverty strategy has been postponed until at least the autumn, according to the Guardian’s front page. The paper says the move risks making it more likely tens of thousands of children may fall into poverty, adding that the delay is over concerns from Treasury officials about the cost of scrapping the two-child benefit limit. But plans to open a network of mental health A&Es across the *** is the lead story in the Times, which says the specialist units will help “relieve pressure” on hospitals and emergency services. They will allow patients to walk into a much calmer environment than most wards, building on work of 10 NHS trusts who set up similar units already, according to the paper. US President Donald Trump’s threats to impose higher EU tariffs lead the FT Weekend, which notes the rate would more than double the levy proposed by the US president last month. The FT reports that the ******* economy could fall by 1.7% over three years, according to one analysis, adding that EU officials had been blindsided by the announcement on Friday. The Daily Mirror has interviewed the brother of the Princess of Wales, James Middleton. He has told the paper about his special bond with Catherine and how she, alongside their other sister Pippa, had helped him cope with mental health problems. “They’ve seen me at my lowest. Sibling love is one of the most powerful bonds there is,” he added. The Daily Telegraph reports on a Jewish protester being arrested after holding a cartoon mocking the killing of a former Hezbollah leader. The paper says the man, who held up a sign satirising the death of Hassan Nasrallah and other Hezbollah members, was detained and charged last year after counter-demonstrating at a pro-Palestine march. Cartoonist Matt has a wry take on the Chagos Islands deal, drawing a man selling copies of “Keir Starmer: The Art of the Deal” with the caption: “The book is free and you’ll receive £101 million for the next 99 years.” Feargal Sharkey has given an interview to the Daily Express being diagnosed with and being treated for prostate *******. The environmental campaigner and former rock star urges men to get checked for the disease, as his was discovered following an unrelated visit to the doctor about a sore throat. Sharkey also told the paper the issue had been “resolved” a year ago and he was doing “very well”. He vowed to continue campaigning for clean rivers. Miss England has quit the Miss World beauty pageant saying she felt exploited by the organisers, according to the Sun’s reporting. The paper says Mila Magee leaving the contest in India was over disliking feeling “farmed out” to wealthy male sponsors, describing the competition as being “stuck in the past”. The Daily Star returns to the topic of Trump, reporting on a speech given by a certain very green frog puppet at a graduation ceremony for university students. In the speech, the Star reports, the beloved children’s character “mocked orange manbaby Donald Trump”.

Microsoft CPO says she ‘fundamentally’ disagrees with the idea that people shouldn’t study computer science Microsoft CPO says she ‘fundamentally’ disagrees with the idea that people shouldn’t study computer science Microsoft‘s chief product officer of experiences and devices says people should keep learning to code. Computer science isn’t dead, Aparna Chennapragada said on a podcast, and engineer roles will endure. For project managers, she said editing and “taste-making” would be more important than ever. Microsoft’s CPO Aparna Chennapragada doesn’t buy the idea that coding is on its way out. “A lot of folks think about, ‘Oh, don’t bother studying computer science or the coding is dead,’ and I just fundamentally disagree,” Chennapragada, the tech giant’s chief product officer of experiences and devices, said on “Lenny’s Podcast.” “If anything, I think we’ve always had higher and higher layers of abstraction in programming,” she added. Despite fears that AI could ultimately render software engineers irrelevant — or at least materially cut down on job openings in the field — Chennapragada believes that AI only adds a further layer of abstraction in the existing process of programming. “We don’t program in assembly anymore,” she said. “Most of us don’t even program in C, and then you’re kind of higher and higher layers of abstraction. So to me, they will be ways that you will tell the computer what to do, right? It’ll just be at a much higher level of abstraction, which is great. It democratizes.” Chennapragada said it was possible that, in the future, we’d think of software engineers more as software operators, but the role itself was unlikely to disappear. “There’ll be an order of magnitude more software operators,” she said. “Instead of ‘SWEs,’ maybe we’ll have ‘SOs,’ but that doesn’t mean you don’t understand computer science, and it’s a way of thinking, and it’s a mental model. So I strongly disagree with the whole, ‘Coding is dead.'” As for the fate of project managers, who are subject, like many other middle managers, to Big Tech’s “great flattening,” Chennapragada expects them to endure, albeit with modified responsibilities. Taste, she said, will be more important than ever. “In some sense, if you look at it, there’s going to be a supply of ideas, a massive increase in supply of ideas in prototypes, which is great,” Chennapragada said. “It raises the floor, but it raises the ceiling as well. In some sense, how do you break out in these times that you have to make sure that this is something that rises above the noise?” Chennapragada didn’t respond to a request for comment by Business Insider. AI makes it easier than ever to actualize an idea, she said, which means that sifting through the glut of ideas will be especially important — so project managers will need to further develop what Chennapragada calls “the taste-making and the editing” instincts. “In a world where the supply of ideas, supply of prototypes becomes even more like an order of magnitude higher, you’d have to think about, ‘What is the editing function here?'” she said. Because it’s so much easier to just get started, Chennapragada says she’s observed less of an instinct to automatically turn to a project manager for approval. Though final approval will become more important than ever, she believes PMs have to earn the right to judge. “There’s an interesting side effect I am observing in startups that I’m advising, companies, and even within the companies, that there used to be more gatekeeping, I would say, in terms of like, ‘Oh, we should ask the product leader what they think,'” Chennapragada said. “And again, there is a role for that editing function, but you have to earn it now.” Read the original article on Business Insider Source link #Microsoft #CPO #fundamentally #disagrees #idea #people #shouldnt #study #computer #science Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Las Vegas police bust couple in ‘massive’ $57M fraud scheme Las Vegas police bust couple in ‘massive’ $57M fraud scheme LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A couple allegedly defrauded investors of more than $57 million as part of an exotic vehicle and boat purchasing scheme, Las Vegas Metro police announced Friday. Jong Rhee, 45; and Neelufar Rhee, 34, face dozens of charges for allegedly persuading people to invest in the luxury items, saying “the assets would be resold to overseas buyers at massive profit margins,” police said. However, detectives suspect no buyers ever existed. A boat recovered as part of the investigation involving 45-year-old Jong Rhee and 34-year-old Neelufar Rhee, according to police. (LVMPD) In announcing the arrests Friday, Metro police described the “fraud scheme” as “massive.” The couple conducted the alleged fraud scheme through two of their businesses: Twisted Twins Motorsports and Lusso Auto Spa, police said. State business records show the Rhees are connected to businesses in Las Vegas and Henderson. Both Rhees face 78 felony charges, including racketeering, money laundering, and forgery, records said. A car recovered as part of the investigation involving 45-year-old Jong Rhee and 34-year-old Neelufar Rhee, according to police. (LVMPD) Police arrested both on Thursday and both posted $100,000 bail, records said. They were not scheduled to return to court until June 9. Two other people, Crisfin Deguzman and John Baudhuin, also face charges connected to the case, records said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Former Mayo Clinic doctor arrested after road rage incident over cheese prank: SJSO Former Mayo Clinic doctor arrested after road rage incident over cheese prank: SJSO A respected physician is facing felony charges after St. Johns County Sheriff’s Deputies say he fired a gun during a road rage incident against a group of teenagers — all reportedly sparked by a piece of thrown cheese. Dr. Bruce Mitchell, a resident of the exclusive Sawgrass community and a former Mayo Clinic physician, was arrested May 17 after allegedly chasing five teens down in his ****** Range Rover and firing two gunshots into the air. According to an incident report from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, the confrontation began near the intersection of Sawgrass Drive East and Ponte Vedra Boulevard. The teens told deputies they had been stopped in traffic when one of them jokingly tossed a piece of cheese from the *********, which flew over Mitchell’s vehicle. Believing the prank was harmless, the group continued driving. But deputies say Mitchell then pursued the boys at high speed, honking, swerving, and eventually brandishing a firearm. “Cheese doesn’t hurt anybody,” said one local. “I don’t think firing shots was necessary. That was a bit extreme.” >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Mitchell reportedly told deputies he believed he had been shot at first — a claim investigators found no evidence to support. A search of the teens’ truck revealed no firearms. Mitchell is now charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, and discharge of a firearm from a vehicle. Mitchell’s professional biography indicates he worked at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville for 14 years before returning to Emory University in 2010. Action News Jax attempted to contact him at his residence, but no one answered the door. The teenagers, whose names have not been released due to their ages, called 911 during the incident and told deputies they feared for their lives. The Mayo Clinic released the following statement about his arrest: “Dr. Mitchell’s employment with Mayo Clinic ended in late 2009. We’re aware of media reports of current charges against him which are unrelated to his past employment with us.” [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] Click here to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, click here to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and click here to stream Action News Jax live.

what members of LDS Church should know what members of LDS Church should know SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could be one card lighter in their wallets with the Church giving members the option of having the temple recommend card on their phone. According to a Church spokesperson, the rollout began Thursday with some areas getting the option to receive the sacred document on their phone. The rollout is being done in stages with Brazil, Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, North America Southwest, North America West, South America Northwest, South America South having the option available to members. As for Utah, the date members will be able to have the option is May 29. Much of the United States and Canada will be part of the second phase of the rollout. “Church members may choose one of these options, to allow them to enter a temple. For those who opt for an electronic recommend, it will be available on the Member Tools app on their phone or tablet that can be scanned at any of the Church’s temples,” a spokesperson from the Church told ABC4.com. The hope is to increase temple attendance. “With this additional recommend option, the Church hopes it will improve and simplify the experience for all who attend the temple,” the Church said in the emailed statement. The Church also published a page on getting the mobile temple recommend set up. Along with that, the Church also updated its topics page with new information about how the Church. Included in that update is a page dedicated to how the Church uses donations and financial reserves, what happens in the Temple, how the endowment compares to Masonic rituals, why temple procedures and ceremonies change, and why Latter-day Saints wear garments. Lasty, the Church also published a topic on peacemaking, which is something that the Prophet and President of the Church, Russell M. Nelson has spoken about in multiple General Conference addresses. The Church split the topic on peacemaking into five sections: The peacemaking topic also addresses some earlier topics of Church history, like any acts of violence early Church members committed against Indigenous Americans.

This Common Over-The-Counter Medication Increases Dementia Risk, According To Doctors This Common Over-The-Counter Medication Increases Dementia Risk, According To Doctors Over the last couple of years, stress started interrupting my sleep. I found myself having difficulty falling asleep and, even when I did, waking up in the middle of the night. As a freelancer who makes my own schedule, I attempted to fill in the gaps with occasional naps, but it was still a vicious cycle of feeling constantly exhausted during the day, only to not be able to doze off when my head hit the pillow. Still, I didn’t think my issues were serious enough to warrant a doctor’s visit (and didn’t want to deal with the hassle of potentially having to find and see a specialist), so I turned to what I thought was the next best option: Unisom, an over-the-counter sleep aid. There’s just one problem about taking this sleep shortcut: meds like Unisom, a.k.a. doxylamine succinate—which are found in both OTC sleep aids and allergy meds—are actually pretty bad for your brain health. Though most sleep aids and certain allergy med labels indicate that they’re not intended for long-term use, they often don’t say why. A close friend who is also a physician clued me into why these OTC options aren’t ideal: Frequent use of antihistamines that fall into the category of first-generation antihistamines has been tied to an increased risk of dementia. In fact, a study published this year in the World Allergy Organization Journal suggests people should avoid taking Benadryl, which is a first-gen antihistamine, altogether. (And, BTW, these meds were put on the market all the way back in 1946, before they were required to undergo safety testing, according to research by the the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.) This is a serious concern among medical experts, says Pamela Tambini, MD, an internal medicine physician and medical director at Engage Wellness. “People sometimes assume these medications must be harmless because they are sold over the counter, but if you use them too often or for too long, they can mess with your thinking, make you groggy during the day, and possibly lead to long-term problems,” she says. So while they might be safe to take every once in a while, here’s why doctors strongly recommend considering other options for sleep or allergies. Meet the experts: Pamela Tambini, MD, a Palm Beach Gardens, FL-based double board-certified physician in internal and addiction medicine and medical director at Engage Wellness in Acton, MA, Seetha Bhagavatula, MD, a Maryland-based board-certified geriatrician and internal medicine physician at Remo Health. Here’s why first generation antihistamines are bad for your brain health. First, a quick refresher on what antihistamines are exactly. Antihistamines are medications that work primarily to block histamine, a chemical released by the immune system during allergic reactions or infections, says Seetha Bhagavatula, MD, a board-certified geriatrician and internal medicine physician at Remo Health. Histamine is what causes the uncomfortable allergy symptoms you might experience like a runny nose, itchy eyes, or irritated skin. Luckily, “by preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, antihistamines effectively reduce these allergy-related symptoms throughout the body,” says Dr. Bhagavatula. They’re an easily available solve for people with mild seasonal allergies, but these meds affect more than just your runny nose. They also make you sleepy (which is why they pop up in OTC sleep medications) and affect many other systems in your body, Dr. Tambini says. “Since histamine also helps keep you awake, blocking it makes you feel sleepy, which is why they’re often used in sleep aids—they sort of sedate you as a side effect,” Dr. Tambini says. However, patients with allergic rhinitis (commonly known as “hay fever”) taking first-generation antihistamines face an increased risk of developing dementia, according to a 2024 study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. The study also found some risk with second-generation antihistamines, but the risk was far lower. “There might still be a slight risk for cognitive effects,” says dr. Tambini. “However, that risk is very low for most healthy adults taking them occasionally or even seasonally.” That’s because there’s another major system certain antihistamines affect: Your brain. Older antihistamines, known as first-generation antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine (ZzzQuil) and doxylamine (Unisom) cross into the brain and block histamine receptors there, whereas second-generation antihistamines were designed to avoid that, says Dr. Tambini. They specifically target acetylcholine—which happens to be a key brain chemical involved in memory, focus, and learning. This makes an impact on long-term brain health, according to the research. Frequent sleep medication use was associated with an increased risk of dementia in older adults, highlighting that risk may vary by race as well, according to a 2023 study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. “If you are constantly dampening that system with these medications, your brain does not function as well,” Dr. Tambini says. “Over time, that can lead to memory issues or even contribute to cognitive decline, particularly if you’re already at risk.” In older adults, these medications can also cause confusion or even increase the risk of falling, but the biggest concern is how they impact the brain over time, especially when used frequently, Dr. Tambini says. Medications that contain first-generation antihistamines: For sleep: Unisom (doxylamine succinate), Sominex (diphenhydramine HCl), Tylenol Simply Sleep (diphenhydramine HCl), ZzzQuil (diphenhydramine HCl) For allergies: Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Chlor-Trimeton (chlorpheniramine), Dramamine (dimenhydrinate), Vicks NyQuil (doxylamine succinate) They’re also not even that helpful for your sleep, either. If you’ve ever taken these meds to help you sleep, you may find you knock out and sleep hard on the first night that you’re particularly exhausted. But as you continue them, you might also feel groggy or foggy the next morning, even if you slept a full eight hours, making their intended use backfire. These meds actually worsen your sleep quality in the long run, even if they still help you fall asleep fast, Dr. Tambini says. “These meds can reduce REM sleep—the deep, dream-filled sleep that really restores your brain,” she explains. “So you might technically be asleep for hours but still wake up feeling sluggish or unrefreshed because it’s like getting the quantity of sleep without the quality.” What To Take Instead Of First-Generation Antihistamines What’s more important than finding the perfect sleep aid is nailing why exactly you’re looking to find one, especially if you may have other underlying health factors that could increase negative side effects, says Dr. Bhagavatula. Whether it’s stress, poor sleep hygiene, side effects of another medication, or insomnia, you’re going to want to get to the bottom of your sleep issues to find the best treatment. “Sleep is complex, and while reaching for a quick fix might be tempting, those fixes sometimes cause more problems than they solve,” Dr. Tambini says. “There are safer, more effective options out there—and talking to your doctor is a great first step in figuring out what’s really going on and how to get your sleep back on track.” But, it is okay to occasionally use an OTC sleep aid such as Unisom or ZzzQuil in a pinch, she says. “Taking something for a night or two can be fine if you’re dealing with a temporary sleep issue—like jet lag or stress before a big event,” Dr. Tambini says. “[But once you] build up a tolerance, which can happen in just one to two weeks of regular use, they stop working as well, and your body starts relying on them, you’re not actually addressing the root cause of why you can’t sleep in the first place.” Long-term, both Dr. Tambini and Dr. Bhagavatula advise looking into solutions that *don’t* affect your brain health, which include: For Sleep Alternatives to something like ZzzQuil include supplements like melatonin and valerian root, which some people find helpful, according to Dr. Tambini (but the science isn’t completely settled on yet, per a 2020 systematic review and meta-analysis in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine). If you’re really struggling to catch some Zzzs, though, both docs recommend cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, which is the most effective treatment, per a 2022 study in Clinical Psychology and Special Education. It helps you build better sleep habits and teaches your brain how to sleep again, says Dr. Tambini. This is something that takes multiple sessions to work, so it’s not quite an in-the-moment fix like popping a melatonin. And, there are a few prescriptions that doctors have at their disposal, too. Personally, I swapped Unisom for trazodone, an antidepressant commonly prescribed off-label to treat insomnia, which I’ve found to be helpful so far. Talk to your primary care physician when considering any sleep medications, including OTC options, especially if taking other medications that could potentially interact with a sleep aid and increase the risk of certain side effects, says Dr. Bhagavatula. For Allergies If you’ve been taking these medications for allergies rather than sleep problems, you don’t need to opt to suffer in favor of promoting good brain health. “Newer, second-generation antihistamines like Claritin, Zyrtec, and Allegra don’t cross into the brain as much, so they don’t cause that drowsy, brain-fog feeling,” says Dr. Tambini. “If allergies are your issue, those are much better choices—especially for daily use.” Steroid nasal sprays, for example, aren’t antihistamines at all—and they’re actually the best option for moderate to severe seasonal allergy sufferers, allergy specialists previously told Women’s Health. Basically, it’s time to put down the Benadryl and go with something a little newer.

Hardwick’s Long-term ‘vision’ realised at Suns Hardwick’s Long-term ‘vision’ realised at Suns Ben Long could have found himself at Richmond under Damien Hardwick, who viewed the St Kilda defender as more of a forward. The deal was never done, but when Hardwick headed north to take over the Suns last year there was an easy decision to make. Long spent six seasons at the Saints as a half-back and his first at the Suns under Stuart Dew in the same position, playing 15 games in that campaign and not kicking a goal. He played 17 under Hardwick last year, showing glimpses of what the three-time premiership coach had seen with 26 goals as a refashioned medium-sized forward. The Northern Territorian has gone to new heights in 2025, kicking 19.10 in eight games, including four in front of family and friends in last week’s impressive defeat of Hawthorn in Darwin. There is a touch and timing to his play that doesn’t register on the stat sheet but noticed around the league. Former Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd this week labelled him “the most improved player in the competition, by a long, long way”, likening his impact to Toby Green at GWS or Jamie Elliot at Collingwood. “He’s got that great mix of hardness, ability to finish, can mark it, good on the deck,” Suns forwards coach Brad Miller told AAP. “He’s that hybrid type that can do pretty much everything pretty well. “Requires very little maintenance, so low-fuss. Plant the seed and it grows on its own. “That’s allowed him to flourish in a role he can play on instinct and he puts himself in the right place at the right time.” Miller had been at the Suns for a season before Long arrived and has marvelled at his evolution under the new coach. “We got him up originally to play half-back but Dimma had a vision of him playing forward at his previous job (at the Tigers), they were interested in him back then,” he said. “I’m not sure how far it went but Dimma has mentioned he saw his attributes and thought it suited playing forward in the systems he coaches.” Hardwick also pushed hard to recruit halfback duo Daniel Rioli and John Noble this year and has backed Bailey Humphrey and Will Graham to impact the game forward of centre. Miller said those pieces had all contributed in a 7-2 season – they sit third with a competition-best percentage of 132 – that has the Suns on the cusp of their first finals campaign since entering the competition in 2011. “We’ve found ways to not rely solely on Ben (King),” Miller said of the Coleman Medal leader. “You’re seeing their belief growing throughout the year; coming from a few goals down to win games, naturally it grows when you get that evidence.” The Suns play Long’s former team at Marvel Stadium on Sunday, St Kilda, on the bounce back from a loss to the previously winless West Coast. But the Saints edged the Suns in a dour 7.9 (51) to 7.6 (48) contest there last year and Gold Coast also struggled for fluency in an upset loss to Richmond in their only other trip to the venue earlier this season. The Suns are 10-28 overall at the ground and 3-9 there since 2022. Miller doesn’t think the venue is to blame but is wary of Ross Lyon’s side. “They strangled us last year when we played them at Marvel and we fully expect their best footy,” he said. “A hard-working defensive unit that can slow you down and they cleaned us up last year.” Source link #Hardwicks #Longterm #vision #realised #Suns Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

Wells Fargo warns Trump’s tariffs won’t bring back American manufacturing jobs, which will need a minimum $2.9 trillion investment to regain peak Wells Fargo warns Trump’s tariffs won’t bring back American manufacturing jobs, which will need a minimum $2.9 trillion investment to regain peak Despite President Donald Trump continuing to tout tariffs as a way to increase U.S. manufacturing, a Wells Fargo report from this week argues meaningfully increasing manufacturing employment will be an “uphill battle.” Tariffs have pushed companies to absorb costs or pass them down to consumers, which is not conducive to ramping up domestic workforce expansion. As President Donald Trump continues to push tariffs as a strategy to bolster U.S. manufacturing, economists aren’t convinced his steep levies will have their intended economic effect. Manufacturing employment in the U.S. hovers at 12.8 million today, down from the country’s 1979 peak of 20 million, Wells Fargo said in a report on Wednesday. While the tariffs are intended to return American manufacturing to its heyday 45 years ago, they are instead creating a short-term environment that makes it harder for companies to expand their payroll and production efforts, according to the report. “An aim of tariffs is to spur a durable rebound in U.S. manufacturing employment,” report author Sarah House wrote. “However, a meaningful increase in factory jobs does not appear likely in the foreseeable future, in our view.” Despite putting a 90-day pause on some ******** tariffs earlier this month and on “reciprocal tariffs” last month, Trump threatened on Friday a 50% tax on European Union imports beginning next month, as well as a 25% tax on Apple products unless the tech company starts making iPhones on American soil. Earlier this month, Trump said he had a “little problem” with Apple CEO Tim Cook, and asked him to stop producing the tech in India. Analysts have warned moving iPhone production to the U.S. would be a “non-starter,” adding thousands of dollars to the price tag. Markets are reeling from Trump’s vow to implement more tariffs. Companies, including giants like Amazon and Walmart, have already warned tariffs will force them to either absorb costs through lower profit margins or pass down higher prices to customers. The taxes therefore are not conducive in the short term to growing one’s workforce, according to Wells Fargo. In the medium to long term, the growth of U.S. manufacturing would take several years and require trillions of dollars in steady investment, the report said. Labor costs in the U.S. are sky high compared to the rest of the world, and executives like Pandora CEO Alexander Lacik have remained stubborn in refusing to move production to the U.S., insisting there’s a dearth of affordable and skilled American labor. “I employ up to 15,000 craftspeople in Thailand,” Lacik said in a CNBC interview this month. “I can’t find that amount of talent that actually has this craft experience in the U.S.” Story Continues In theory, tariffs should help bolster domestic manufacturing by encouraging consumers to buy cheaper domestic goods, which in turn gives American producers reason to expand manufacturing and grow their workforce. Therefore, tariffs would need to be in place for several years at consistent levels in order to have their intended effects, Wells Fargo posited. Should companies be able to navigate the short-term growing pains of the tariffs, they would also need to collectively invest massive new capital into expanding production, the bank said. Wells Fargo predicted a minimum of $2.9 trillion to be invested to expand U.S. manufacturing employment in order to return jobs to their 1979 peak. Some major U.S. companies, including Apple, have already made commitments to expand production on home turf. Apple announced in February plans to invest $500 billion over the next four years in U.S. manufacturing, including plans for a new Texas factory. Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and IBM are others who have likewise invested in American production expansion. The White House announced earlier this month that following Trump’s Middle East trip, Saudi Arabia will invest $600 billion in U.S. manufacturing, including a multibillion-dollar deal between Saudi aircraft renter AviLease and Boeing for 30 737-8 passenger aircraft. While building out manufacturing infrastructure is one thing, attracting a workforce is another obstacle in growing domestic production. The National Association of Manufacturers predicts 3.8 million new manufacturing jobs by 2033, with about half of those positions going unfilled, the trade group said in a February report. Wells Fargo attributed these projected vacancies to an aging work demographic and tight immigration policies limiting population growth. While the bank’s report suggested manufacturing jobs will need to be filled by a younger generation of working Americans, Gen Z doesn’t appear to be buying in. Just 14% of the generation said they would consider a career in factory work, according to a report from Soter Analytics. Many cited the jobs’ low wages, a result of a decline in unions in the manufacturing industry, labor experts say. “Returning U.S. manufacturing employment to a level that remotely resembles its historical peak will be an uphill battle,” Wells Fargo said.

Malaysia visitor numbers rise as the country builds connections Malaysia visitor numbers rise as the country builds connections About 38 million people visited Malaysia in 2024 — way more than the pre-pandemic record of 35 million in 2019 and up from 29 million in 2023. And last year’s visitors spent $38 billion — 20 per cent more than in 2019. In January and February 2025, the momentum was maintained, with visitor arrivals surging by more than 31 per cent to 6.7 million, compared with the same ******* in 2024. Most visitors come from Singapore, China, Indonesia, Thailand and Brunei, in that order. Tourism Malaysia now seems most focused on the Middle East to draw even more visitors. This month, May 2025, it has been on a sales mission to Saudi Arabia, based in the two key cities of Jeddah and Riyadh. In April, it took culinary and cultural heritage to the Middle East through its Food and Cultural Promotion, showcasing in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. That was held in conjunction with the launch of the Malaysia Culture Week in the Middle East. And, in the same month, it took part in the Arabian Travel Market Dubai 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. In April, Tourism Malaysia also launched its Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign in Istanbul, Turkey. Tourism Malaysia (or Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board) is an agency under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture of Malaysia, and tuned in to the national government’s policies. Interestingly, Saudi-Turkish relations have shifted from years of estrangement to first a careful and now more enthusiastic re-engagement. In May, Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan held an online meeting with leaders of Saudi Arabia and with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia and President Ahmed Al-Sharaa of the Syrian Arab Republic and US President Donald Trump. SANDAKAN GUIDE The landscapes, diverse flora and fauna, adventure activities and cultural experiences and food in and around the Malaysian city of Sandakan are explained in a new brochure, which can be seen as an online flip book. A Guide To Sandakan has been produced by Malaysia Tourism in collaboration with Sandakan Tourism Association. It is part of part of a campaign to promote travel to Sandakan, on the north-east coast of the island of Borneo. In launching the guide, YB Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan, deputy minister of tourism, arts and culture, said: “From cosying up with the orangutan in the wild, to coming up close with the Bornean sun bears, the mascot of Visit Malaysia Year 2026. With the blend of wildlife and adventure, unique local eats and fresh seafood, Sandakan is the ideal getaway to explore the state of Sabah.” Not that we suggest cosying up with an orangutan.

UN expert says Guatemalan prosecutor’s office using criminal law to pursue opponents UN expert says Guatemalan prosecutor’s office using criminal law to pursue opponents GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — A United Nations expert warned Friday at the conclusion of her two-week visit that Guatemala’s prosecutor’s office is increasingly using criminal law against former prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys, journalists and others. Margaret Satterthwaite, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, traveled the country meeting with judges, lawyers, lawmakers and others, including Guatemala’s chief prosecutor. “The instrumental use of criminal law by the Prosecutor General’s Office appears to amount to a systematic pattern of intentional and severe deprivation of fundamental rights, targeted at specific groups,” Satterthwaite wrote in her preliminary report. “This persecution appears to be intensifying, as those who have sought to end impunity and corruption, defend human rights, or speak out against abuses of power increasingly face digital harassment, threats, and criminal charges.” The office is led by Consuelo Porras, who has been sanctioned by the United States and other countries and accused of being an obstacle to corruption investigations. Satterthwaite met with Porras and her staff. They told Satterthwaite that they acted within the law, denied using criminal law to pursue opponents and said they were the real victims of attacks by the executive branch and its allies, the U.N. expert said. “Criminal charges have been directed at more than 60 justice operators and defense or human rights lawyers,” Satterthwaite said, noting that more than 50 “justice operators” have been forced into exile by the prosecutor’s office. Porras’ office said later that it did not agree with Satterthwaite’s preliminary report, because it did not reflect “the complex work that we do, nor the exhaustive information that was provided.” “We energetically reject the idea of a ‘criminalization of sectors,'” the office said. “Our actions are based on serious, objective investigations that strictly adhere to the Guatemalan legal framework.” President Bernardo Arévalo has tried unsuccessfully to convince Porras to step down. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Satterthwaite’s observations.
