Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe're in Sydney, Australia. Biocyte Pharmaceuticals. This Einstein looking mother goose shoots himself in the wrist with this gun that has some sort of drug in it. Apparently he created a bioweapon for Biocyte called Chimera but also created the cure for it. And he needs to get it into the right hands.  Next thing you know, he's on a plane sitting next to Ethan Hunt. He's the right hands. The plane experiences some cabin pressure loss, so the masks come down. Ethan stands up to take a look at whats up. People with the masks on start dropping like flies. Turns out, it's not really Ethan Hunt. It's a dude in the mask. Son of a gun got me again! There's a group of baddies who take the briefcase that Einstein had in his hands. They kill him and jump out of the plane before it crashes.Next thing you know, we're with Ethan Hunt, the real one. and he's just rock climbing, free solo style. It's nuts. Suddenly, this bag with glasses appear and he's given his mission - find this women named Nyah who apparently is the ex of Ambrose, the head of the guys from the plane. They think she'll be able to help get the briefcase back seeing as how she's also a profession thief. Ethan finds Nyah at this party trying to pick a lock for a necklace. Ethan tries to warn Nyah that the lock is protected by a fool proof alarm, but she ignores him. They are surrounded by armed guards. Thanks to Ethan's cover, he helps her escape, but she's not interested in working with him. Ethan chases Nyah in his car and he saves her life when car skids and falls over the cliff edge. They then have special time and she agrees to help him. Ethan then meets mission commander Swanbeck who reveals that Einstein had sent a video message to Ethan, while Ethan was out climbing. Now he's dead. And that's why you don't go on vacation. Apparently Ambrose was ordered by Swanbeck to impersonate Ethan Hunt since that who Einstein trusted but then he went rouge. Ethan's mission is to find this briefcase with the drug in it and bring it back.Nyah is not happy to learn that she has been recruited because she was Ambrose's ex-girlfriend but she agrees to help. Ethan get a team together. Luther is back and then we meet Billy, an australian helicopter pilot. Nyah sets up a time to meet with Ambrose. He sends someone to bring her to him which she's okay with because she knows that Ethan is tracking her and will keep her safe. One of Ambrose's associates, Hugh, suggests that Nyah's timing is a big suspcious, so he cuts off the tip of his pinky. Ambrose makes a memory card with information on Chimera and brings it to the race track to show to John McCloy, the CEO of Biocyte. Ethan sees Ambrose showing the contents of the memory card to McCloy on a camera. Nyah is able to get that card and gives it to Ethan. The card confirms that the drug is deadly. She gets back to Ambrose and she sneaks the card back into his pocket, which he notices but plays it cool. McCloy gets into his limo which has been taken by the IMF and they pump it full of this gas.  When he wakes up, he's  in a fake hospital room and is greeted by the ghost of Einstein. He tells him he's been infected with Chimera. McCloy admits that he ordered Chimera to be developed as a bio-weapon to sell for big bucks. Obviously, it's actually just Ethan in a mask and he now has all the information he needs. Nyah meets up with Ethan and they talk about the plan and we find out that it's not actually Ethan, rather it's Ambrose in a mask. So many masks, so little time. Ambrose decides he's going to use Nyah as bait to get Ethan to show up. Ethan and his team work on a plan to break into Biocyte and destory the remaining Chimera samples. Ethan enters the building from the roof, cuz it's Mission Impossible. He gets into the labs and begins to get rid of the remaining samples. Ther'es one left when he is suddenly ambused by Ambrose and his team. Ethan isn't worried about it until he finds out that Ambrose brought Nyah. He sends her over to grab the last gun of Chimera.. Nyah injects the virus into her body, giving her 20 hours to live and ensuring that Ambrose won't kill her. Ethan escapes but promising to save her. Ambrose releases Nyah on the streets of Sydney to spread the virus. Why? Because he meets back up with McCloy with a vile of the virus. He says he doesn't wants his money, he wants stock because as the Chimera outbreak grows, BioCyte will make a ton of money since they already have the anti-virus. McCloy isn't thrilled with this plan but there's not much he can do. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. It's an explosive thrown by Ethan. Ambrose tells his baddies to go kill him, including Hugh. Ethan and Hugh get into a big fight. He is able to put an Ethan mask onto Hugh and put a Hugh mask on himself. Ambrose them killed the fake Ethan. But when Ambrose see's fake Ethan's finger, he realizes what he's done. While Ambrose was distracted by this, the real Ethan takes the vials containing the virus and the antidote and runs to the helicopter waiting for him outside. Ambrose catches up with him first which leads to a bit of a chase with Ethan on a motorcycle, riding it through fire and what not. Ultimately, it leads to a fight between Ambrose and Ethan and Ethan is able to kill him in one of the more ridiculous ways you could imagine. They tracked Nyah down and brought her to Ethan and Luther injects her with the anti-virus! Commander Swanbeck reminds Ethan he was supposed to bring back a sample of the Chimera virus and he's like sorry. Nyah's record is wiped clean and Ethan ends the movie by meeting up with her and kissing big ones cuz everything is just a Hallmark movie in disguise, some might say a mask.

Twenty-five years ago, director John Woo (Hard Boiled, Face/Off) joined this franchise to helm this long-awaited sequel to the first cinematic adaptation from '96.  And whereas the first film was a paranoid espionage thriller, he and star/producer/mastermind Tom Cruise decided to shift THIS entry in the direction of ramped up operatic action mixed with forbidden romance.  Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is back for his next mission where he must prevent a now disavowwed former IMF-rival Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) from doing something nefarious with a mysterious bio-weapon/virus nicknamed "Chimera."  And to get closer to this new villain's burgeoning operation, Ethan must enlist a beautiful jewel thief named Nyah (Thandiwe Newton) who has a past with Ambrose but....the ONE thing he didn't count on was falling in love. :o And what results is a rip-roaring, mostly-set-in-Australia action EPIC filled with rock climbing, fast cars, roundhouse kicks, and.....DOVES.  This was a major smash upon release and remains one of the more successful films in this long-running franchise....however a backlash has developed since then with many now calling it the WORST of the Mission: Impossible saga.  Our mission - should we choose to accept it - is to determine as to whether it lives up OR down to the hype!See below for a link where you can hear the rare instrumental version of this movie's theme song, cited within this review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfBiktIrDnQHost & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with Coach Bombay working a mission for the Impossible Missions Force—IMF, if you will. He's the guy in the chair while Agent Ethan Hunt is out in the field, getting important information from a target and then killing him—because sometimes, you gotta.We then meet Jim Phillips, Ethan's boss at the IMF. He receives the intel that Ethan retrieved. The team comes together to plan their next mission, and it's a big one. An agent named Alexander has gone rogue and plans to steal a list of all undercover agents to sell to a buyer. The mission seems to be going according to plan.After Alexander puts the list on a floppy disk, everything goes south. The agents begin getting killed—first Coach Bombay, then Jim Phillips. Even Ethan's wife, Claire, is killed. To make matters worse, when Ethan finds Alexander, he's already dead, and there's nothing in his pocket.In a haze, Ethan contacts the IMF and ends up meeting with the director, Eugene. Eugene explains that the entire mission was a decoy. Apparently, there's an arms dealer known as “Max,” and the operation to steal the list was part of a mission called Job 314. Everyone was supposed to die. Eugene is suspicious of Ethan—especially since $120,000 mysteriously appeared in Ethan's bank account. Realizing he's in trouble, Ethan uses a piece of explosive gum (courtesy of Coach Bombay) to blow his way out and escape.Ethan starts doing some research and reads the Bible, finding Job 3:14. He begins sending coded emails to every address he thinks could belong to Max.He's shocked when Claire shows up alive. Apparently, Jim warned her just before his death that the mission was compromised, so she faked her death to escape.Ethan eventually gets a reply from Max with instructions on when to meet. He's picked up in a car and taken to her—turns out Max is a woman. Ethan tells her the list she has is fake. She doesn't believe him, but he warns her that inserting it will trigger a tracking device. When it turns out he's telling the truth, Ethan offers her the real list in exchange for $10 million and the identity of the mole behind Job 314.Max agrees and gives Ethan a $150,000 cash advance, which he uses to assemble a team of blacklisted agents, including computer expert Luther and pilot Franz.The new team begins planning an elaborate mission to break into the CIA at Langley. In an absolutely iconic scene, Ethan is lowered from the ceiling to avoid pressure sensors and successfully steals the real list on a disc.Back at the safe house, Franz tries to take the disc, but Ethan pulls off some sleight of hand and confuses him. He decides to trust Luther with the real disc.Ethan learns that Eugene has arrested his parents. He calls him from a payphone and, after hanging up, sees Jim Phillips—somehow still alive. Jim claims that Eugene is the mole.However, Ethan has already figured out that Jim is the traitor after realizing the Bible he used to look up the Job verse was stolen from the Drake Hotel in Chicago—where Jim once said he was stationed.Ethan pretends to believe Jim and arranges a meeting with Max on a train to exchange the list. On the train, Ethan tells Max the list is beneath her seat, and she tells him where the money is stashed. Meanwhile, Luther jams the signal so she can't upload the list.Claire goes to collect her share from Jim but realizes too late that he's actually Ethan in disguise. When the real Jim shows up and pulls a gun to take the money, Ethan streams the confrontation live to Eugene, exposing Jim as the mole.Jim kills Claire and climbs to the roof of the train, trying to escape in a helicopter piloted by Franz. But Ethan also gets on the roof, hooks the chopper to the train, and forces it into a tunnel. Miraculously, it doesn't crash immediately. Ethan jumps onto the helicopter and uses another piece of explosive gum to blow it up—of course, surviving the blast.Eugene arrives, arrests Max, and recovers the list.Ethan and Luther are reinstated in the IMF, though Ethan isn't sure if he wants to return. On the flight home, a flight attendant approaches him and covertly offers a new mission—this time as team leader.

We accept the next mission to join Ethan Hunt and the IMF as they look to stop a sentient AI before it falls into the wrong hands with our review of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning. Journey with us as we discuss this setup for a two part film that takes us all over the globe and gives us a very busy story. Is this a solid entry in the Mission franchise or are we ready for the fuse to run out? So pour some rye, grab your two piece cruxiform key, and get ready to run fast again. Cheers!

In Episode 242 of Reel Therapy, Daniel and Donavon are joined by UCA Professor of Film, Dr. Bruce Hutchinson, to break down Brian De Palma's 1996 classic “Mission: Impossible”. From script structure to storytelling choices, we dive into the film's unique six-sequence, three-act structure, its approach to delivering information to the audience, and that messy love triangle subplot. It's a deep, nerdy, and fun look at one of the most iconic spy films of the ‘90s.TABLE OF CONTENTS --00:00:00 - About the Episode00:00:47 - Greetings from Dr. Bruce Hutchinson00:02:30 - Mission Impossible01:48:37 - Final Thoughts01:57:12 - Before We GoABOUT THE MOVIE --When a covert mission goes sideways, IMF agent Ethan Hunt—played by Tom Cruise in the role that launched his action-star legacy—is framed for the deaths of his team.

It's another edition of See It or Skip It and this time Ian and Liam are tackling Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning (2025), the explosive (and supposedly final?) chapter in Ethan Hunt's death-defying saga. Does Tom Cruise still deliver jaw-dropping stunts and spy-thriller spectacle—or is the mission starting to show its age? If it is the end, is this truly a satisfying send-off for the franchise, or are we looking at Fast & Furious–style diminishing returns? Has the series said everything it has to say—or is there still life in the IMF yet? Is the plot compelling, or just another excuse to jump off a mountain with a briefcase? Do the emotional stakes hit as hard as the explosions? And most importantly—how many masks is too many masks? Ian and Liam break down the set pieces, the pacing, the performances, and whether Final Reckoning delivers on nearly 30 years of buildup—or if it's time for Ethan Hunt to finally accept that some missions really are impossible. All that and more in this week's See It or Skip It—and then they tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is the action spy film which serves as the direct sequel to Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (2023) and is the eighth and possibly final installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF team race against time to find the Entity, a rogue artificial intelligence that can destroy mankind.

Het moederbedrijf van Google, Alphabet komt met een aanvalsplan om bedrijven als OpenAI van ChatGPT te verslaan. Alphabet komt met een speciale ‘AI-modus’ voor Google, die volgens ceo Sundar Pichai 'een nieuw tijdperk van zoeken' inluidt. In plaats van een lijst met links, kun je een gesprek voeren met de zoekmachine en doorvragen. Dat scheelt een hoop klikken, maar vergeet Google niet dat gebruikers zo ook een stuk minder advertenties tegenkomen? En juist dáár verdient Google nu veel geld mee. En we hebben het over een nieuw plan van de Europese Commissie, dat daarmee een zoveelste poging doet om relevant te blijven. Het wil de op-twee-na grootste economie van de wereld nieuw leven inblazen, met het wegnemen van door handelsbarrières en het terugdringen van het aantal regels. Helemaal nu het in een handelsoorlog verwikkeld is met z'n belangrijkste bondgenoot: Amerika. Zakendoen met andere EU-landen moet makkelijker en vooral goedkoper worden. Het is de zoveelste keer dat Europa de interne markt probeert aan te zwengelen, steeds met weinig echt succes. Deze aflevering bespreken we of dit plan wel kans van slagen heeft. We kijken naar de stijgende olieprijs, door geruchten over een Israëlische aanval op Iran. En Nvidia-topman Jensen Huang haalt uit naar Donald Trump en zijn heffingen: hij noemt de Amerikaanse exportbeperkingen voor AI-chips naar China een 'mislukking', meldt de Financial Times. Als argument noemt Huang het gedaalde marktaandeel van Nvidia op de Chinese markt. En we bespreken het aandeel UnitedHealth, dat alweer lager staat, door weer een nieuw schandaal.

Lara Peters speaks to director Christopher McQuarrie about the latest (and final?) installment in the Mission: Impossible series, starring Tom Cruise.  Our lives are the sum of our choices. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which sees the agent and his team embark on perhaps their most dangerous mission yet. Following Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning's soaring finale, the IMF remain on the trail of the malevolent artificial intelligence known as ‘The Entity', housed inside a sunken next-generation Russian submarine. Their only hope lies in trusting Hunt, one final time, to destroy it for good.

Mark Zuckerberg zal geen fijne dag hebben. Die wordt namelijk ingehaald door zijn grote concurrent, TikTok. Moederbedrijf Bytedance ziet de omzet met 20 procent stijgen, ondanks de pogingen van de VS om TikTok op zwart te zetten. Daardoor zou Bytedance eind dit jaar even groot zijn als Zuckerberg's Meta. Christine Lagarde schreef al drie keer geschiedenis: als eerste vrouwelijke financiënminister in Frankrijk, als eerste vrouw die het IMF leidde, en als eerste vrouwelijke baas van de Europese Centrale Bank. Maar daar kan een vierde bladzijde bijkomen. Volgens Bloomberg maakt ze namelijk ook goede kans op het stoeltje van Klaus Schwab bij het World Economic Forum. Gaat ze daarvoor vervroegd vertrekken bij de ECB? Verder gaat het over Novo Nordisk. Beleggers zijn in de war, want de topman vertrekt opeens. Vermoedelijke reden: de farmaceut verliest de competitie om afvalmedicatie van concurrent Eli Lilly. En dat raakt de prijs van het aandeel te hard. Maar de vraag blijft of het wegsturen van de ceo dat gaat oplossen. Je hoort ook wat er aan de hand is bij Coinbase. Het cryptoplatform krijgt twee klappen te verwerken. Iemand perst ze af, maar de toezichthouder denkt ook dat Coinbase zelf beleggers uitperst. En we blikken terug op de week van Donald Trump. Zijn regering sloot plotseling een tijdelijke deal met China. En zelf zat hij ook niet stil, want hij wist honderden miljarden dollars los te peuteren in het Midden Oosten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The International Monetary Fund has terminated a $175 million loan programme with Malawi, citing poor economic management. The IMF said Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world, had failed to fully restructure its unsustainable debt, but the country's government argues that it has decided to suspend this until after the elections in September this year. Rahul Tandon heard from Malawi Finance Minister Simplex Chithyola Banda and the IMF Mission Chief. And we will look at President Trump saying that India offered to drop all tariffs on US goods, something India swiftly denied. Total airline revenue for ancillary services like baggage and seat selection is set to reach 145 billion according to the International Air Transport Association.

216. Hold onto your seats, because this episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine Podcast is a high-octane thrill ride! We're diving headfirst into the world of Ethan Hunt and his daring IMF team as we unravel the genius of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. From its jaw-dropping opening stunt to the pulse-pounding motorbike chase, we break down the moments that make this film an action masterpiece.Join us as we explore:

Host Anna Smith brings you an exclusive conversation with the women of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, recorded live at London's Ham Yard Hotel. This latest instalment in the high-octane Mission: Impossible franchise sees Ethan Hunt and the IMF team race against time to confront the Entity, a rogue artificial intelligence threatening global destruction. Joining Anna for this special panel are two talents at the heart of the action: Pom Klementieff, who takes on the role of Paris, and Angela Bassett, returning as Erika Sloane, the President of the United States. Together, they delve into the challenges of working on one of cinema's most physically demanding franchises, explore the critical role costume design plays in shaping their characters, and reflect on the powerful, real-world impact of casting a Black woman as the US president in a fictional universe.

In Episode 209, Dave starts the show with a discussion about the power outage in Spain, Portugal, and France. This sparks an unsolicited plug and reference to the tworiversoutfitter.com website, specifically the ‘Batteries & Solar' and the ‘Communications' collections. That entire discussion brings out the tin foil hat and a winding discussion about the nefarious activities of the WEF and IMF. After all that fun, Dave carries on with a conversation about the polygraphs being utilized (finally) at the FBI and the latest Trump announcement. Dave closes the show discussing the Canadian election results and the tin foil hat comes back out for an encore performance.

Kenneth Rogoff is Maurits C. Boas Professor at Harvard University, and former chief economist at the IMF. He has long ranked among the top dozen most cited economists and is an international grandmaster of chess. His influential 2009 book with Carmen Reinhart, This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly, shows the remarkable quantitative similarities across time and countries in the roots and aftermath of debt and financial crises. Rogoff is also known for his pioneering work on central bank independence, and on exchange rates. He is co-author of the widely used graduate text, Foundations of International Macroeconomics. Ken's latest book is Our Dollar, Your Problem: An Insider's View of Seven Turbulent Decades of Global Finance and the Road Ahead. In this podcast we discuss Rogoff's early life and background as a chess prodigy, Yale, MIT and mentors like Rudy Dornbusch and Stan Fischer, Rogoff's groundbreaking paper on central bank independence, and much more.    Follow us here for more amazing insights: https://macrohive.com/home-prime/ https://twitter.com/Macro_Hive https://www.linkedin.com/company/macro-hive

Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff approaches global finance with the same strategic foresight that made him a chess grandmaster. Author of the new book Our Dollar, Your Problem, Rogoff doesn't sugarcoat America's future: he foresees a significant inflation shock within a decade, far more severe than the post-COVID bout. When this second wave hits, he warns, "credibility's really going to be shot." In this conversation, Ken and Tyler tackle international economic dynamics, unresolved macro puzzles, the state of chess, and more, including whether trade deficits are truly unsustainable, why China's investment-heavy growth model has reached its limits, how currency depreciation neutralizes tariff effects, Pakistan's IMF bailouts, whether more Latin American countries should dollarize, Japan's deceptively peaceful economic decline, Europe's coming fiscal reckoning, how the US will eventually confront its ballooning debt, the puzzling absence of a recession during our recent disinflation, the potential of phasing out large denomination currency notes, the future relevance of stablecoins, whether America should start a CBDC, Argentina's chances under Milei, who will be the next dominant player in chess, hanging out with Bobby Fischer, drawing out against Magnus Carlsen, and how to save classical chess from excessive computer preparation.

You're being lied to—by governments, by the media, and maybe even by your own sense of security. You think you understand the new Cold War brewing between the U.S. and China, but what you're missing is the real master plan for rewriting global trade, the secret moves at the IMF and World Bank, and how every headline is part of a narrative war with trillion-dollar stakes. If you think this is just about tariffs, you are not paying attention. If you think America still controls the world order, you're about to get a wake-up call. The rhetoric, the chaos, the PR battles—it's all part of a high-stakes game that most people will never see coming until it's too late. Today, we're breaking down the strategies, the hidden motivations, and the economic weapons being deployed in real time. So buckle up—because joining me is my co-host Drew, and we're about to map out the future of the global economy, the battle lines between the U.S. and China, and most importantly, what it all means for you.

President Trump met with our own Glenn Beck yesterday. Is peace about to come to Ukraine and Russia? The price of eggs is falling! Congress takes too much time off!!! Is the U.S. really pulling foreign aid?? Is a twice-deported illegal immigrant who drove drunk and killed two American teenagers about to go free?

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been in Washington D.C. this week at the IMF's spring meetings, and will meet US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tomorrow. Cue the ususal talk of compromising on chlorinated chicken. Not so, reports the Spectator's economics editor Michael Simmons, who explains that Reeves may offer a reduction in long-standing tariffs already imposed on American cars. But, it's been a bad week of economic news for the Chancellor as the IMF downgraded the UK's growth forecast. We're also one week away from the local elections – Starmer's first big test since last year's general election. The economy isn't usually the number one issue at local elections but, as More in Common's Luke Tryl explains, the cost of living crisis is still very much alive in voters' minds. And, while Reform look set to have a good night, the economy is not their strongest policy area. What should we look out for on the night? Michael and Luke join Lucy Dunn to discuss. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.  

Sir Keir Starmer and Ursula von der Leyen will on Thursday finalise plans for a new defence pact, US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent has accused the IMF and World Bank of “mission creep” and Boeing reported lower than expected losses.

The IMF cuts forecasts for every major economy and warns that the US could be hardest hit. Also: In Indian-administered Kashmir more than twenty tourists shot dead, and the surge in cosmetic surgery in China.

Tim and Mary Danielsen take apart some current headlines today, further cementing the notion that our worldview matters when it comes to discerning the times. First up, we look at the UN and their age-old longing to tax the life out of all of us and call it a world government. It takes money to run the world, and they intend to fund it to the hilt. Next we look at the topic of the Third Temple, and those who want to take it by force - vs those who simply know with confidence that it will be in God's timing. A recent video circulating has the Arab world a bit upset, we will talk about that.  Also on the agenda, the IMF is having a confab, they and the World Bank are also longing for complete control. We discuss the latest nonsense from Christianity Today magazine, a long time rag that seems more and more confused as to what "Christianity" actually is. They might just go the way of the iconic Christian bookstore before long. We summarize the late pope's beliefs; the Days of Lot; and stories the media is ignoring.

Another day, another major warning this time once again from the Swiss. This one is a critical dollar signal. Even though the mainstream gets it completely backward, that diminish the significance of the surge. Plus, it is being corroborated by others along with changes to macro interpretations even among official bodies like the IMF.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisSNB's Martin Schlegel December 12, 2024https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2024-12-12/snb-s-schlegel-on-interest-rate-decision-negative-ratesIMF WEO April 2025https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2025/04/22/world-economic-outlook-april-2025https://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

P.M. Edition for April 22. Major U.S. indexes rose 2.5% or more today as the Trump administration offers fresh hope for de-escalation of the president's trade war. Plus, Tesla's net income fell more than 70% in the first quarter as the company struggled with competitive pressure and Elon Musk's polarizing role. And the International Monetary Fund expects slower growth for the global economy. Economics editor Paul Hannon joins to discuss why the IMF predicts that the U.S. is expected to be hit particularly hard. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

The US is forecast to be hit the hardest among advanced economies because of uncertainty caused by tariffs, the IMF says. Growth is now expected to be 1.8% this year, down from the IMF's estimate of 2.7% for the US in January. It comes after US stocks and the dollar plunged on Monday following Donald Trump's attack on the US central bank boss Jerome Powell - who he labelled a "major loser" - for failing to cut interest rates.Also in the programme: We're live in Rome and we hear tributes to Pope Francis from Nigeria, the Philippines and Ghana; and from Pakistan - the effort to save the snow leopard from extinction.(Photo: International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva delivers remarks on the global economy, ahead of the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings, at the IMF headquarters in Washington.

The Biden administration approved the project in 2023, with construction beginning last year. The interior secretary accused the former administration of “rush[ing] through its approval without sufficient analysis.” He did not provide further details on potential faults identified. “On day one, [President Donald Trump] called for comprehensive reviews of federal wind projects and wind leasing, and at Interior, we are doing our part to make sure these instructions are followed,” Burgum wrote in a follow-up post.   In response to the pause, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the project had already generated roughly 1,000 “good-paying union jobs” and is contributing to the state's economy. “This fully federally permitted project has already put shovels in the ground before the President's executive orders—it's exactly the type of bipartisan energy solution we should be working on,” Hochul wrote in a statement. “As Governor, I will not allow this federal overreach to stand. I will fight this every step of the way to protect union jobs, affordable energy, and New York's economic future.” According to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, offshore wind farms “can be damaging to fish and other marine species” due to the noise and vibration from both the construction and operation of the wind turbines. Disturbing the sea floor during construction can also “affect plankton in the water column.” Source: zerohedge.com   https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1912952517346070939  According to Apollo, foreigners own a massive $18.5 trillion of US stocks, or 20% of the total US equity market.

IMF issues global economy warning The global economy is expected to grow more slowly this year and face higher inflation, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said, citing global trade disruptions and rising “protectionism.” Sweeping tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, which he says are focused on prioritizing domestic manufacturing and renegotiating trade deals in favor of the US, have caused a sharp rift with trade partners, including the European Union and China.
