The White House announced on Tuesday (May 14) that it is hiking tariffs on US$18 billion worth of imports from China, targeting strategic sectors like electric vehicles (EVs), batteries, steel and critical minerals. These hikes are politically motivated, with about six months to go for the US presidential election, says Dr Derek Scissors, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He tells CNA's Asia First that while there could be some retaliation by China, further tit-for-tat restrictions are unlikely.

The NFL is speaking out after the Kansas City Chiefs kicker, Harrison Butker, delivered a controversial speech at a college graduation over the weekend. In a statement to 'People,' the NFL's Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Jonathan Beane, says Harrison's beliefs 'are not those' of the organization. During his commencement address, Harrison seemingly called out President Biden's policies and 'dangerous gender ideologies.' His speech also drew flack from fans when he quoted Taylor Swift's 'Bejeweled,' after sharing he believes a woman's most important role is 'homemaker.'

If high inflation hurts just about everyone, why can’t we have no inflation? Help keep Vox free for everybody: http://www.vox.com/give-now Subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications (🔔) so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Over the past few years, most of the world has experienced some pretty intense inflation, with prices rising as much as 10 percent in a single year. In 2024, even though inflation rates have fallen to more manageable levels, prices are still way up and are very unlikely to come down. Which, understandably, continues to be a source of major stress for people all over the world. So why can’t prices just stay the same? As a consumer, steady prices and zero inflation seems like the ideal: You want your purchasing power to stay the same and for your dollar today to buy you exactly the same amount as your dollar tomorrow. But even in times of global economic health and stability, governments and their central banks actively avoid letting inflation get too low. That’s because 0 percent inflation might actually end up doing more harm than good. In this video, we take a look at the reasons why. This video is presented by DCU. DCU doesn’t have a say in our editorial decisions, but they make videos like this possible.

Primatologist Mireya Mayor breaks down 10 monkey and ape attacks in movies, such as "King Kong," based on realism. Mayor debunks common misconceptions about the behavior and appearance of the great apes, such as the brutish strength and massive size of the gorilla-like ape, King Kong, in "King Kong" (2005), with Jack Black and Naomi Watts; the violent rampage of Gordy the Chimpanzee in "Nope," starring Daniel Kaluuya, Steven Yeun, and Keke Palmer; and the intelligence and communication skills of chimpanzees and bonobos in both "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," with James Franco. She looks at the realism of monkey and ape attacks against humans and other animals, such the plausibility of a reptile-like Godzilla fighting an ape-like Kong in "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire"; the fight between a gorilla and leopard in "Tarzan" (1999); and the mandrills attacking humans in "Jumanji: The Next Level," starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, and Awkwafina. Mayor also breaks down the evolution of ape and monkeys, such as the common ancestor of humans and apes, the hominin, in "2001: A Space Odyssey"; the Gigantopithecus in "The Jungle Book" (2016); and the capuchin monkey in "Night at the Museum," with Ben Stiller. Mayor is a primatologist and explorer who has gone on expeditions to study apes and monkeys such as mountain gorillas, western lowland gorillas, and the white-faced saki monkey. She is a wildlife correspondent for National Geographic, where she was also part of a research expedition that discovered a new species of lemur, considered to be the world's smallest primate. She wrote the book "Pink Boots and a Machete: My Journey From NFL Cheerleader to National Geographic Explorer," with a foreword by Jane Goodall. She is also the executive director for strategic projects and events and director of public policy events at Florida International University.
