Malaysia climber recovered alive on Nepal’s Mount Annapurna

A Malaysian climber has been recovered alive near the summit of Mount Annapurna in Nepal two days after he went missing.

The head of Seven Summit Treks, Mingma Sherpa, says climber Wui Kin Chin was spotted by a search party in a helicopter and was being taken by four rescuers to the closest camp on Thursday.

Sherpa, whose company organized the trek, says Chin appears to be fine but is not in a condition to walk.

Chin was a part of a 13-member expedition led by a French climber and was separated from the others while descending from the treacherous peak.

The 8,091-meter (26,545-foot) Mount Annapurna is the ninth tallest mountain in Nepal and the 10th tallest in the world.

(Reuters) – The Venezuelan opposition’s envoy to the United States, Carlos Vecchio, met with U.S. President Donald Trump in recent days and asked him to increase pressure on socialist President Nicolas Maduro, Vecchio’s office said in a statement on Tuesday.

The United States was among the first countries to recognize opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate leader after he swore himself in as president last month, arguing Maduro’s May 2018 re-election was a sham. Maduro calls Guaido a puppet of the United States intent on overthrowing him.

(Reuters) – Drugmaker Biogen Inc reported a 20 percent rise in first-quarter profit on Wednesday, driven by higher sales of its muscle disease treatment Spinraza.

Spinal muscular atrophy treatment Spinraza brought in $518 million in the quarter, beating Refinitiv IBES estimates of $486.4 million.

Multiple sclerosis drug Tecfidera, which brought in $999 million in the quarter, missed estimates, and faces several challenges to its intellectual property, which is key to shielding the blockbuster drug from generic competition.

Net income attributable to the company rose to $1.41 billion, or $7.15 per share, in the quarter ended March 31, from $1.17 billion, or $5.54 per share, a year earlier. (https://bit.ly/2L1UlKL)

On an adjusted basis, the company earned $6.98 per share.

Total revenue rose to $3.49 billion, beating estimates of $3.39 billion.

DJIBOUTI (Reuters) – France’s Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday said Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s decision to abandon his quest for a fifth term in power opened a new chapter in the country’s history and called for a “reasonable duration” to the transition period.

Bouteflika late on Monday bowed to weeks of mass demonstrations against his 20-year rule but also postponed an election due in April, promising social and economic reforms in the former French colony.

Macron gave no details on what he considered a reasonable transition period.

Migrants in Greece turn up at border agents’ doorstep

Greek authorities say dozens of asylum-seekers have turned up at the home address of European border agency employees helping police the border with Turkey.

Police say 61 men, women and children who had just crossed illegally from Turkey headed straight for the rented flats of German and Dutch employees of the Frontex agency in the town of Orestiada before dawn Monday, and started ringing doorbells.

The migrants said they were from Syria and Iraq and wanted to register for asylum. Greek police were called to handle the process.

Police said it was unclear how the migrants found the Frontex employees' home address, and why they didn't go directly to a police station. Syrian and Iraqi refugees have little trouble securing asylum in Greece.

Report: Gun Accidents Killed 73 US Children in 2018

At least 73 children under the age of 12 were killed last year in accidental shootings, more than once every week, a vexing issue for prosecutors who are unsure of who to blame and how that person should be punished, according to a report published Tuesday by USA Today.

Montreal Dunn, 2, of Louisville was one of the victims.

The toddler died last August after he found a gun and shot himself in the head. Police have not charged anyone in the case, though Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin said, "parents should be held accountable in large measure for ensuring their children are safe."

In Maryland, 2-year-old Tyree Flint found a handgun in a bedroom and fatally shot himself. Others were in the home sleeping.

Police charged 25-year-old Shaquiel Malquan Griffin, a house guest, with involuntary manslaughter. He owned the gun.

USA Today and the Associated Press in 2017 found, of the 152-gun deaths from 2014 to 2016, half of gun deaths ended in a criminal charge, usually against adults who police said should have supervised the children closely.

"Nearly identical cases then and in 2018 had marked different outcomes," the news outlet reported.

David Chipman, a former agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told USA Today the focus should be on prevention.

"The law is meant to punish, deter, and hold people accountable, but the real issue should be how to prevent something with a fatal outcome," he said. "So, we have to deter that behavior and educate people."

Japan’s machinery orders weaken as trade war hits spending plans

TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s machinery orders fell in January at the fastest pace in four months as the U.S.-China tariff war hit global trade, knocking demand from the country’s auto and telecommunications equipment manufacturing sectors lower.

The 5.4 percent decline month-on-month in core machinery orders, a leading indicator of capital expenditure, was more than the median estimate for a 1.7 percent decrease and followed a revised 0.3 percent decline in the previous month. It was also the fastest month-on-month decline since September last year.

Economists say uncertainty over Sino-U.S. trade policies would discourage an increase in capital expenditure in Japan’s corporate sector, which has up until recently been one of the better performing parts of the economy.

While the United States and China have in recent weeks openly sought to narrow their differences over trade, they are yet to agree to a deal that would unwind punitive tariffs and restore global trade flows.

“It’s fair to say the outlook for capital expenditure in Japan is not bright,” said Shuji Tonouchi, senior market economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.

“There is confusion about the status of U.S.-China trade negotiations. This could make Japanese companies more pessimistic, which is a risk for capital expenditure plans in the new fiscal year.”

The weak capex also suggests that after more than six years in office, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe may struggle to keep the economy on track while the Bank of Japan faces pressure to prop up growth with some form of stimulus.

Highlighting the weakness in the global economy, core machinery orders from overseas fell 18.1 percent in January, Cabinet Office data showed on Wednesday, matching December’s contraction, which was the largest decline since January 2016.

“Core” machinery orders exclude those for ships and from electricity utilities.

Orders from manufacturers fell 1.9 percent month-on-month in January after a revised 4.4 percent decline in December.

Non-manufacturing orders slumped 8.0 percent, also the fastest month-on-month decline in four months. Capex plans have been generally healthy in recent years but the deterioration in trade raises the risks companies may now trim their spending plans in the new fiscal year, which would impact broader activity, economists say.

Most Japanese firms commence their fiscal years in April, which is when they are expected to draw up capital expenditure and investment plans.

In a warning of the damage to come, a finance ministry survey on Tuesday showed companies plan to cut capital expenditure by 6.2 percent in fiscal 2019, versus a 7.4 percent increase in fiscal 2018.

That bodes poorly for the BOJ’s closely watched tankan survey due on April 1, which measures corporate sentiment and spending.

Another risk for Japan’s economy is the government’s plan to raise the nationwide sales tax to 10 percent from 8 percent in October. The government needs the extra revenue for rising welfare costs, but the tax hike could also weaken consumer spending.

Japan’s central bank ends its two-day monetary policy meeting on Friday and is likely to maintain its view the export-reliant economy is expanding moderately but warn of heightening overseas risks, sources say.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said trade talks with China are going very well, as the world’s two largest economies seek to end talks with a trade agreement to defuse tensions.

Trump said on Thursday he would soon host China’s President Xi Jinping at the White House.

Earlier this week, the White House said that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer would travel to Beijing for more talks on a trade dispute marked by tit-for-tat tariffs between the two countries.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday praised Russian President Vladimir Putin’s comments on North Korea this week following the Russian leader’s summit with Pyongyang’s Kim Jong Un.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump also said China was helping with efforts aimed at the denuclearization of North Korea.

MOSCOW/MINSK (Reuters) – Russia is confident it can soon resolve a problem of polluted Russian oil contaminating a major pipeline serving Europe and affecting supplies as far west as Germany, a senior official said on Friday at talks with importers about the issue.

Russian Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin did not give a precise timeframe but Moscow has previously said it would pump clean oil to the border with Belarus from April 29, seeking to end a crisis hitting the world’s second-largest crude exporter.

Sorokin was speaking at talks with officials from Belarus, Poland and Ukraine in Minsk on the issue. Belarus said the issue had cost it $100 million, while analysts say alternative supply routes for refiners cannot fully fill the gap.

Poland, Germany, Ukraine and Slovakia have suspended imports of Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline. Halting those supplies has knock-on effects further along the network.

The problem arose last week when an unidentified Russian producer contaminated oil with high levels of organic chloride used to boost oil output but which must be separated before shipment as it can destroy refining equipment.

Russia’s Energy Ministry said pipeline monopoly Transneft and other Russian companies had a plan to mitigate the effects of the contaminated oil. It did not give details.

Russian officials have said contaminated oil has already been pumped into storage in Russia and Friday’s talks would focus on how to partially withdraw the tainted crude from the Druzhba pipeline running via other countries.

The suspension cuts off a major supply route for Polish refineries owned by Poland’s PKN Orlen and Grupa Lotos, as well as plants in Germany owned by Total, Shell, Eni and Rosneft.

Some refiners have outlined plans for alternative supplies, but analysts say other routes cannot meet the shortfall.

OIL PRICES

Ukraine’s Ukrtransnafta suspended the transit of oil through the pipeline on Thursday, closing supplies via Druzhba’s southern route to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

The pipeline issue, which has supported global oil prices, lifted Russian Urals crude differentials to an all-time high on Thursday.

With pipeline supplies to Europe shut, Russia faces a challenge of how to divert about 1 million barrels per day (bpd) that was meant to be shipped through the network to other destinations at the time when export capacity is at its limits.

State-run Russian Railways held talks with energy firms on using up to 5,000 rail tankers to transport crude, RIA news agency reported on Friday.

Concerns about the quality of Urals crude also caused delays in loadings at the Baltic port of Ust-Luga, when buyers refused to lift cargoes, resulting in a brief shutdown of the port on Wednesday and Thursday. An Ust-Luga official and traders said on Friday loadings had resumed.

Russian loading plans indicate it aims to boost Urals exports in May before the expiry of a deal on output cuts agreed with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, Reuters calculations and Energy Ministry data show.

The provisional loading plan for Russia’s Baltic Sea ports and Novorossiisk in May show exports rising to 10.7 million tonnes, the highest level in half a decade.

Minsk estimated its loss from lower oil product exports due to contaminated Russian oil at around $100 million, Russia’s Interfax news agency reported on Thursday, citing Belarusian state oil company Belneftekhim.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, in charge of government energy policy, said this week that those found responsible for contaminating the oil could be fined. He did not provide names.

(Reuters) – India has once again delayed the implementation of higher tariffs on some goods imported from the United States to May 15, a government official said on Friday.

The new tariff structure was to come into force from May 2, the spokeswoman said without citing reasons for the delay.

Angered by Washington’s refusal to exempt it from new steel and aluminum tariffs, New Delhi decided in June last year to raise the import tax from Aug. 4 on some U.S. products including almonds, walnuts and apples.

But since then, New Delhi has repeatedly delayed the implementation of the new tariff.

Trade friction between India and the U.S. has escalated after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans earlier this year to end preferential trade treatment for India that allows duty-free entry for up to $5.6 billion worth of its exports to the United States.

In a further blow, U.S. on Monday demanded buyers of Iranian oil stop purchases by May or face sanctions, ending six months of waivers which allowed Iran’s eight biggest buyers including India to continue importing limited volumes.

One of Joe Biden’s newly-hired senior advisers has seemingly had a very recent change of heart.

Symone Sanders, a prominent Democratic strategist and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., staffer in 2016, was announced as one of the big-name members of Team Biden on Thursday.

But Sanders, who has also served as a CNN contributor, is seen in resurfaced footage from November 2016 expressing her opposition to a white person leading her party after Donald Trump’s election.

“In my opinion, we don’t need white people leading the Democratic party right now,” Sanders told host Brianna Keilar during a discussion on Howard Dean potentially becoming DNC chairman.

BIDEN HIRES FORMER BERNIE SANDERS’ SPOKESPERSON AS SENIOR ADVISER

“The Democratic party is diverse, and it should be reflected as so in leadership and throughout the staff, at the highest levels. From the vice chairs to the secretaries all the way down to the people working in the offices at the DNC,” she said.

Sanders wrapped up her remarks by saying: “I want to hear more from everybody. I want to hear from the millennials and the brown folks.”

Footage of the interview was resurfaced by RealClearPolitics.

After news of her hiring broke on Thursday, Sanders backed her new boss on Twitter.

TRUMP ASSESSES 2020 DEMS; TAKES SWIPES AT BIDEN, SANDERS; DISMISSES HARRIS, O’ROURKE; SAYS HE’S ROOTING FOR BUTTIGIEG

“@JoeBiden & @DrBiden are a class act. Over the course of this campaign, Vice President Biden is going to make his case to the American ppl. He won’t always be perfect, but I believe he will get it right,” she wrote.

The hiring of Sanders has been viewed as another indication of the expected tough fight that Biden and Sanders are in for as the two frontrunners battle a deep Democratic field.

While Sanders himself didn’t torch Biden as he jumped into the race, it’s clear that many of his progressive supporters view the former vice president as a threat.

Biden’s entry into the race – at least in the early going – sets up a battle between himself and Sanders, who thanks to his fierce fight with eventual nominee Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic nomination, enjoys name ID on the level of the former vice president.

BIDEN VOWS THAT ‘AMERICA IS COMING BACK,’ SPARKING ‘MAGA’ COMPARISONS

Justice Democrats — who also called Biden “out-of-touch” – is an increasingly influential group among the left of the party. They’ve championed progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York as well as Sanders. The group was founded by members of Sanders 2016 presidential campaign.

Biden has pushed back against the perception that he’s a moderate in a party that’s increasingly moving to the left. Earlier this month he described himself as an “Obama-Biden Democrat.”

And Biden said he’d stack his record against “anybody who has run or who is running now or who will run.”

Former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile – a Fox News contributor – highlighted that “Joe Biden can occupy his own lane in large part because he’s earned it. He’s earned the right to call himself whatever.”

But she emphasized that “elections are not about the past, they’re about the future…I do believe he has the right ingredients. The question is can he find enough people to help him stir the pot.”
