BRUSSELS (AP) — A top European court ruled on Wednesday that the European Commission was wrong to refuse The New York Times access to text messages sent between President Ursula von der Leyen and a pharmaceutical boss during the COVID-19 pandemic.The case highlights ongoing questions about transparency at the commission, which insists that text messages and other “ephemeral” electronic communications do not necessarily constitute documents of interest that should be saved or made public.“Today’s decision is a victory for transparency and accountability in the European Union, and it sends a powerful message that ephemeral communications are not beyond the reach…
CNN — President Donald Trump would plainly like America to be more like the Gulf states he’s touring on the first big foreign trip of his new term. He got a purple-carpeted welcome fit for a king in Saudi Arabia from Mohammed bin Salman, the ruthless and modernizing crown prince, that outstripped the showers of personal adulation from his top officials back home. More spectacle is on tap in Qatar Wednesday after Trump lands in his aging Air Force One jet – rather than the newer 747-8 his hosts want to gift him. “We’ve launched the Golden Age of America,”…

New York CNN — Shoppers got a little relief this week from a giant tariff on previously cheap, duty-free goods from China. But the tariffs that do remain are still poised to derail the shopping habits of millions of Americans who shop at ultra-low-priced e-commerce sites like Shein and Temu. The Trump administration has cut its tariff on “de minimis” packages, or shipments of goods worth $800 or less, coming in from China from 120% to 54% and slashed the rate from 145% to 30% for packages from commercial carriers. A $100 flat-fee option also won’t surge to $200 per…

CNN — Mohammad Iqbal was working the nightshift at a power plant when he got a frantic call from his family saying artillery shells were exploding around their home. “I told them all to hunker down in one room together on the ground floor and hopefully things would become okay by morning,” he told CNN. But dawn brought no relief from the shelling that would continue for four days as India and Pakistan fought their most intense conflict in decades, raising fears of an all-out war. Iqbal, 47, lives near the town Poonch in India-administered Kashmir, a stone’s throw from…
