As the elderly man carefully counted the money in his hands, tears welled up in his eyes. He turned to the store owner and asked why he was being given so much more than he had asked for. The store owner simply replied, "Consider it a gift from one person to another. I hope it helps you get home comfortably and safely."
The failure to promptly discipline officials who have been investigated for corruption sends a worrying message about the state of governance in China. It undermines public trust in the government's ability to effectively combat corruption and uphold the rule of law. Transparency and accountability are essential principles in the fight against corruption, and it is imperative that the Chinese authorities demonstrate their commitment to these values.
Suriname's government announced Saturday that the small South American nation will not hold a state funeral for its ex-president Desi Bouterse, who this week died a fugitive from justice aged 79. Current President Chan Santokhi "has decided, based on his powers and advice received, that there will be no state funeral... No period of national mourning," Foreign Minister Albert Ramdin told a press conference. Bouterse was a former military man who twice mounted coups, in 1980 and again in 1990, to take charge as a dictator. He eventually returned to power after being elected president in 2010 and governed for a decade. He died Tuesday in the unknown location where he had been holed up as a fugitive, with in-absentia convictions for cocaine trafficking and murder. Bouterse's body was dropped off at his residence in the capital Paramaribo. An autopsy was ordered, though police said there were "no signs of criminal activity." Bouterse had been sentenced to 20 years in prison in December 2023 for the 1982 execution of political opponents, including lawyers, journalists, businessmen and military prisoners. He remained a popular figure with the poor and working class in the former Dutch colony. The foreign minister said that, out of respect for Bouterse's status as an elected former president, flags would be flown at half-staff on government buildings on the day of his funeral, whose date has not yet been given. str-jt/rmb/acbAs winter sets in, a wave of cold air is sweeping across China, bringing with it frigid temperatures and heavy snowfall in many regions.

NoneWalleye Capital LLC Buys 9,650 Shares of BankUnited, Inc. (NYSE:BKU)Donald Trump Jr. sparked an social media exchange involving Joe Rogan and Elon Musk as the trio discussed the latter potentially buying MSNBC. UFC commentator and podcast host Rogan even queried whether he could take over from Rachael Maddow as an anchor on the network if the world's richest man was to stage a shock takeover . The firm has been embroiled in turmoil recently, with staffers described as in "a panic" after it was revealed that NBC parent Comcast may spin off the channel. It was reported by the New York Post that MSNBC mainstays including Maddow, Chris Jansing and Katy Tur were involved in a meeting at MSNBC headquarters at 30 Rock this week as they discussed plans. Sources informed the publication that a change in "name, logos and headquarters" could be in the offing, with confusion over ensuing over how plans may be brought to fruition. Now, Trump Jr. has prompted tech billionaire Musk to consider bidding to buy the entity during a conversation between the pair on X after it was claimed that MSNBC could be up for sale. Jon Jones clarifies retirement plan at UFC 309 with Tom Aspinall watching on Jon Jones paid tribute to Donald Trump after UFC 309 win in front of President-elect After reading the speculation that Comcast will put MSNBC up for sale, Trump Jr. fired a message the way of Musk , saying: "Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea ever!!!", prompting the Tesla tycoon to reply "How much does it cost?" before the son of the U.S president elect added: "I mean it can’t be much. Look at the ratings." Following on from this, Musk flirted with the idea of a bid for the firm in a separate post, saying: "The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely," to which UFC commentator Rogan then replied: "If you buy MSNBC, I would like Rachael Maddow’s job. I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies," as the billionaire remarked: "Deal." Following on from this, Trump Jr. piped up once more as he said of Musk and Rogan's remarks: "This is getting really interesting. It has to happen," before adding: "Ok @elonmusk & @joerogan. Since this is getting interesting I’ll throw my hat in the ring as well. I’ll mimic Lawrence O’Donnell... minus the castration of course. That’s a bridge too far." These comments come in the wake of the ratings downturn that the trio were referring to in the wake of the result of this month's U.S presidential election. According to The Daily Beast , MSNBC has purportedly seen a drop in ratings of 40 percent based on last year's figures. Putting the decrease in viewership down to the political climate, an insider told that report: "We were so Harris propaganda that when she lost, viewers were shocked. It turned into one giant circle j--- and echo chamber. If MSNBC wants to be of service to its viewers, they can’t keep them in fantasy land."

Meanwhile, a source told the report: "This is a difficult time and they needed to keep her. No one else can do what she does. You can’t build a brand like it overnight.2 In addition, the unrest within the broadcast media landscape was also shown as Chris Wallace announced his intentions to leave CNN. The veteran figure said of the call: "It doesn’t matter what was or wasn’t said in that meeting because I had already decided with my wife six months ago to leave CNN. Any further speculation is irrelevant."
KASHIMA, Japan — The signs at Nippon Steel read: "The world through steel," underlining why Japan's top steelmaker is pursuing its $15 billion bid to acquire U.S. Steel. "We can't expect demand in Japan to grow as the population is declining. We need to invest in production that leads to growth," a company official, Masato Suzuki, said Friday while giving reporters a look at a Nippon Steel plant in Ibaraki prefecture, north of Tokyo. Nippon Steel Corp. has its eyes on India, Southeast Asia and the U.S., Suzuki said. About 70% of the plant's output is exported. The Tokyo-based company remains optimistic, although the deal is opposed by President-elect Donald Trump, President Joe Biden and American steelworkers. During the tour, slabs of steel, glowing hot-orange at more than 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,800 Fahrenheit), rolled through the cavernous plant to become giant spools of super-thin steel. Nippon Steel officials didn't disclose details of the fine technology they said the planned acquisition would offer U.S. Steel. Under the proposed deal, first announced in 2023, U.S. Steel would keep its name and its headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, becoming a subsidiary of Nippon Steel. Nippon Steel already has manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Mexico, China and Southeast Asia. It supplies the world's top automakers, including Toyota Motor Corp., and makes steel for railways, pipes, appliances and skyscrapers. The American steel industry has waned as Chinese steelmakers have grown to dominate the market. Japan wants to leverage the decades-old U.S.-Japan security and political alliance to seal the acquisition, but the outlook is uncertain. In September, an arbitration board jointly chosen by U.S. Steel and United Steelworkers decided the proposed acquisition could proceed. But United Steelworkers union, which has 1.2 million members, have objected, citing worries about job losses and contract terms. The union has questioned Nippon Steel's plans to transfer production locations and concerns about national security and domestic supply chains. When asked for comment, it referred to a recent letter to its members. "As a union, our primary concern is the future of our jobs and the communities we live and work in — not just this year, but also for the foreseeable future. We've seen job losses in the past, and we must do everything we can to avoid it in the future," said the letter, co-signed by Mike Millsap, chairman of the negotiating committee, and its international president, David McCall. "While Japan is a political ally, it is also an economic competitor, one that has proven time and again that it is willing to promote its steel industry at our expense," the union said. Nippon Steel is promising to "preserve the legacy" of U.S. Steel and protect jobs, pensions and benefits, pledging that there will be no layoffs or plant closures. The deal is expected to produce an economic boost for the region equivalent to nearly $1 billion in the first two years, create up to 5,000 construction jobs and generate almost $40 million in state and local taxes, according to Nippon Steel. William W. Grimes, professor of international relations and political science at Boston University, said Nippon Steel's commitment to keeping the U.S. Steel factories running would help preserve U.S.-based production of specialty steels. Nippon Steel also has also promised investments to make the factories more competitive. There is no militarily sensitive technology Nippon Steel would be able to take from the U.S., and the U.S. relies on steel produced in allied countries, including Japan, Grimes said. "If Japanese companies do draw a lesson, it should be to engage unions and local politicians early in the process," he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid a mixed Monday of trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% from its all-time high set on Friday to post a record for the 54th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 28.7% to lead the market. Following allegations of misconduct and the resignation of its public auditor , the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board. It also said that it doesn’t expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 3.2% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 0.5% after the chip company said CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger’s replacement, and its chair said it’s “committed to restoring investor confidence.” Intel recently lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street’s frenzy around AI. Stellantis, meanwhile, skidded following the announcement of its CEO’s departure . Carlos Tavares steps down after nearly four years in the top spot of the automaker, which owns car brands like Jeep, Citroën and Ram, amid an ongoing struggle with slumping sales and an inventory backlog at dealerships. The world’s fourth-largest automaker’s stock fell 6.3% in Milan. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 likewise fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 5% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record and coming off Black Friday . Target, which recently gave a forecast for the holiday season that left investors discouraged , fell 1.2%. Walmart , which gave a more optimistic forecast, rose 0.2%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.4%. All told, the S&P 500 added 14.77 points to 6,047.15. The Dow fell 128.65 to 44,782.00, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 185.78 to 19,403.95. The stock market largely took Donald Trump’s latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won’t create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the currency of choice for global trade. Speculation has also been around a long time that other currencies could knock it off its mantle, but no contender has come close. The U.S. dollar’s value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris over the French government’s budget . The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed above 4.23% during the morning before falling back to 4.19%. That was just above its level of 4.18% late Friday. A report in the morning showed the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted again last month, but not by as much as economists expected. This upcoming week will bring several big updates on the job market, including the October job openings report, weekly unemployment benefits data and the all-important November jobs report. They could steer the next moves for Federal Reserve, which recently began pulling interest rates lower to give support to the economy. Economists expect Friday’s headliner report to show U.S. employers accelerated their hiring in November, coming off October’s lackluster growth that was hampered by damaging hurricanes and strikes. “We now find ourselves in the middle of this Goldilocks zone, where economic health supports earnings growth while remaining weak enough to justify potential Fed rate cuts,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. In financial markets abroad, Chinese stocks led gains worldwide as monthly surveys showed improving conditions for manufacturing, partly driven by a surge in orders ahead of Trump’s inauguration next month. Both official and private sector surveys of factory managers showed strong new orders and export orders, possibly partly linked to efforts by importers in the U.S. to beat potential tariff hikes by Trump once he takes office. Indexes rose 0.7% in Hong Kong and 1.1% in Shanghai. AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.
